This thesis shows how literary primitivism is the pivot around which Davenport's literary designs spin. Thematically as well as technically the material in his first four collections of short stories is all derived from a desire to explore the beginnings, or the primitive wellsprings, of writing and art. The collage-like construction of picture and sentence will be shown to evolve from a knowledge of palaeolithic cave painting, humanity's first writing system, while Davenport's use of cataloguing and paratactic systems will be shown to evolve from ancient Greek. His primitivism also reveals itself in a Rousseau-like concern to highlight the advantages of primitive civilization on a modern industrial one and how the lessons learned from that are invaluable for present-day society.

Na primeira parte do trabalho apresentamos a teoria básica das L-funcões bem como uma variação método de Vinogradov, usando as identidades de Vaughan. Em seguida, usamos estas ferramentas para mostrar o Teorema de Davenport. A principal referência desta parte são os capítulos 5 e 13 do livro Analitic Number Theory de Henryk Iwaniec e Emmanuel Kowalski, [9]. A prova que a Conjectura de Chowla implica na Conjectura de Sarnak é baseada em princípio de grandes desvios, obtido por uma variação do método do segundo momento. A exposição é inspirada na primeira parte do artigo de Peter Sarnak, intitulado Three Lectures on the Mobius Function Randomness and Dynamics, [16]. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / In this Master's thesis we present a new proof of Davenport's Theorem (1937), and the Terence Tao's proof that Chowla conjecture implies Sarnak's conjecture. In the _rst part of this work we present the basic theory of L-functions and a variation of the Vinogradov's method using the Vaughan's identities. Then we use these tools to prove Davenport's Theorem. This section is based on chapters 5 and 13 of the reference Analytic Number Theory by Henryk Iwaniec and Emmanuel Kowalski, [9]. The Chowla's Conjecture implies Sarnak's Conjecture is based on a principle of large deviations obtained by variation of the second moment method. The exposition is inspired on the _rst part of Peter Sarnak's article entitled Three Lectures on the Mobius Function Randomness and Dynamics, [16].
