Este trabalho é um exercício reflexivo sobre o percurso literário e a arte poética de Manuel Carneiro de Souza Bandeira Filho nos decênios de 1920 e 1930. Na leitura da correspondência trocada por ele e Mário Raul de Morais Andrade, e de seus textos escritos para a imprensa, buscamos analisar as múltiplas feições assumidas pelo poeta pernambucano e procuramos desentranhar traços gerais de sua concepção de vida e de poesia. Deste modo, na presente dissertação, o gênero epistolar e a crônica são considerados como notáveis objetos de estudo para a literatura brasileira. A correspondência com Mário de Andrade adquire relevo na produção intelectual de Manuel Bandeira, pois ela possibilita um maior entendimento do poeta a partir de sua escrita de si, assim como permite observar a preocupação do escritor com a memória da cultura brasileira. Da mesma forma, a crônica torna-se importante porque traz o testemunho do cronista sobre o tempo circundante. Ao percorremos uma parte significativa da prosa de Manuel Bandeira, estabelecemos o cotejo com o seu texto memorialístico Itinerário de Pasárgada, rastreando, nessas fontes, os escritos que denunciam o seu posicionamento em relação às inovações da arte moderna / This work is a reflective exercise on the literary trajectory and the poetic art of Manuel Carneiro de Souza Bandeira Filho in the 20s and the 30s. By reading his correspondence with Mário Raul de Morais Andrade, and his writings for the press, we analyze the multiple traits displayed by this important poet from Pernambuco and we seek to show general features of his conception of life and poetry. Therefore, in this dissertation, the epistolary genre and the chronic are considered notable objects of studying for the Brazilian literature. The correspondence with Andrade acquires importance in the intellectual production of Manuel Bandeira, because it allows a greater understanding of the poet from his autobiographic writing, as it allows to observe the writers concern about the memory of Brazilian culture. Likewise, chronic becomes important because it brings the chroniclers witness of the surrounding time. When we go through a significant part of Manuel Bandeiras narrative, we set the comparison with his memorialistic text Itinerário de Pasárgada, by tracking, in these sources, the writings that expose his positioning in relation to the innovations of modern art

A presente dissertação trata da formação de jovens literatos brasileiros, por meio das cartas trocadas por 42 deles com Machado de Assis e Mário de Andrade, as quais, somadas, compuseram um arquivo de 1444 documentos, cobrindo o período de 82 anos de comunicação epistolar. Valendo-nos das contribuições teóricas de Michel Foucault e de outros pensadores pós-estruturalistas, tomamos a educação operada pelas missivas como ocasião de uma experiência capaz não apenas de ordenar a escrita dos iniciantes conforme critérios literários específicos, mas também de incitar determinados modos de subjetivação atinentes a uma presumida vida literária. Tendo isso em vista, confrontamos diferentes correntes de estudos epistolográficos como os de crítica genética e também os que versam sobre a escrita de si , de modo a estabelecer um procedimento atento não ao processo criativo, este decorrente do par analítico autor/obra, mas às práticas conformadoras da relação entre o sujeito que escreve e os ditames instituintes da escrita literária, tal como esta é aqui compreendida. A análise do material epistolar foi levada a cabo com base em quatro eixos temáticos: 1) a relação entre mestria literária e crítica; 2) a importância dos grupos literários para a formação dos jovens escritores; 3) o embate dos aspirantes com uma suposta vida ideal de literato; 4) os debates em torno das noções de inspiração e de espontaneidade na produção literária. Assim, pudemos configurar um quadro diferencial entre uma mestria oitocentista, direcionada primordialmente ao desenvolvimento de uma técnica e de uma estética literárias específicas, e uma novecentista, para a qual o desenvolvimento técnico-estético dos discípulos não era condição suficiente para sua formação literária, fazendo-se necessária a transformação subjetiva dos escritores. Ademais, pudemos delimitar o papel dos grupos no estabelecimento de elos comuns entre os pares e na consequente divisão de escritores literários e não literários, bem como a constituição, no século XX, de uma relação ética com a escrita pautada na crítica contínua, dando lugar a uma escrita intransitiva, para além da pontualidade da própria obra. Após tal percurso, foinos possível vincular a derrocada do gesto educativo, a cargo da figura do mestre literato e atrelado ao cuidado com o outro, à potencialização de um caráter ensimesmado do trabalho escritural, doravante praticado em termos de uma narrativa de si edificante e sempre por se completar, redundando não somente no apagamento do mestre, mas também na perpetuação de uma formação por toda a vida. / This dissertation addresses the apprenticeship of forty-two young Brazilian writers through letters exchanged with the writers Machado de Assis and Mário de Andrade, which, together compose a file of 1444 documents covering over eighty-two years of epistolary communication. Drawing on the theoretical contributions of Michel Foucault and others poststructuralist thinkers, we take the education transmitted through the missives as an occasion for an experience that not only organizes the writing of beginners according to specific literary criteria, but also incites certain forms of subjectivity relating to an alleged literary life. Considering this, we confront different lines of epistolographical studies, such as genetic criticism, and those who deal with self writing, in order to establish a procedure focused not on the creative process the result of the analytical pair author/work but on practices that form the relationship between he who writes and the instituting precepts of literary writing, as it is here understood. The analysis of the epistolary material was carried out based on four themes: 1) the relationship between literary mastery and criticism; 2) the importance of literary groups for the formation of young writers; 3) the struggle of novice writers with an ideal vision of life as a writer; 4) the debates around the notions of inspiration and spontaneity in writing. Thus, we were able to portray a picture that differentiates the eighteenth-century mastery, directed primarily at the development of a technique and a specific literary aesthetics, and a nineteenth-century mastery, for which the technical and aesthetic development of the disciples was not sufficient for their literary basis, without the subjective transformation of the writer. Furthermore, we defined the role of groups in establishing common links among peers and the consequent division between literary and non-literary writers, as well as the constitution, in the twentieth century, of an ethical relationship to writing guided by the continuous criticism, giving way to intransitive writing, beyond the time of the work itself. Following this route, we were able to connect the collapse of the educational gesture, where the literary master is in charge and vested in the care of the other, to the empowerment of a brooding character in the writing process, now practiced in terms of a never ending uplifting narrative of the self, resulting not only in the removal of the master role, but also in the perpetuation of a lifelong education.

INTRODUÇÃO: A Companhia de Jesus desde o seu início influenciou as mais diversas esferas da sociedade, incluindo o campo informacional. Uma das formas de exercer tal influência foi através das cartas escritas pelos religiosos. OBJETIVO: Identificar e analisar as primeiras prescrições para a escrita epistolar da Companhia de Jesus, investigando o conteúdo das prescrições e comparando-as entre si. MÉTODO: Revisão de literatura sobre o contexto histórico-informacional do século XVI, mais especificamente sobre as primeiras décadas da expansão do impresso e a epistolografia no período, focando nos manuais para a escrita de cartas; a revisão procurou ressaltar as contribuições dos jesuítas no contexto. RESULTADOS: O levantamento encontrou três normas epistolares nos primeiros anos da Companhia: as Reglas (1547), alguns artigos das Constituições relativos ao tema (1558) e a Formula scribendi (1565), cuja tradução em língua portuguesa foi feita exclusivamente para este trabalho. A análise delas mostrou que a Companhia elaborou normativas rígidas para a produção e circulação das cartas, mas que possibilitaram a criação de uma verdadeira rede de informações epistolares pelo mundo. CONCLUSÕES: Os jesuítas tiveram papel relevante no contexto informacional do século XVI, sobretudo através de suas cartas. Por determinarem questões como autores, destinatários, temas das cartas e seus prazos, as normas epistolares foram de essencial importância para a manutenção dessa rede de informações. / INTRODUCTION: The Society of Jesus from its inception has influenced the most diverse spheres of society, including the informational field. One of the ways of exercising such influence was through the letters written by the religious. OBJECTIVE: To identify and analyze the first prescriptions for the epistolary writing of the Society of Jesus, investigating their contents and comparing them with each other. METHOD: Literature review on the historical-informational context of the sixteenth century, more specifically on the first decades of print expansion and epistolography in the period, focusing on manuals for writing letters; the review sought to emphasize the contributions of the Jesuits in the context. RESULTS: The survey found three epistolary norms in the first years of the Society: the Rules (1547), some articles of the Constitutions (1558) on the subject and the Formula scribendi (1565), whose translation into Portuguese was made exclusively for this work. Their analysis showed that the Society developed rigid norms for the production and circulation of letters, but that made possible the creation of a true network of epistolary information throughout the world. CONCLUSIONS: The Jesuits played a relevant role in the informational context of the sixteenth century, especially through their letters. By determining issues such as authors, recipients, themes of the letters and their deadlines, the rules of letters were of essential importance for the maintenance of this information network.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation aims to trace a Christian letter tradition, i.e. the pastoral letter type, during the first five centuries of this era. With this in mind I outlined the problem statements, goals, theoretical points of departure, research questions, hypotheses, methodologies and structures in Chapter I of the dissertation. I surveyed the history of modern studies on Greco-Roman epistolography in Chapter II. There I looked at how the study of Christian letters was related to Greco-Roman epistolography and what it contributed to the history of modern study on Greco-Roman epistolography. In the process I also focused on the study of the Christian letter tradition that flourished especially during the middle of the twentieth century. I pointed out some weaknesses in the preceding studies, such as limiting the analysis of letters to certain periods, failure to consider generic features and lack of attention to psychagogical intention. At the end of the chapter I concluded by pointing out what still remains to be done, such as considering a broader range of sources and periods, and paying more attention to how the pastoral letter continued to function during the first five centuries of our era. On the basis of the preceding survey I then focused in Chapter III on the generic features of Greco- Roman hortatory letters and their psychagogical functions to provide the background of a broader hortatory tradition for explaining the generic features and functions of the earliest Christian letters, i.e. the letters in the NT. From this research I concluded that Greco-Roman hortatory letters followed the pattern of common Greco-Roman letters in terms of structural and formal features. However, they not only focused on the guidance or education of the recipients in terms of function, but for effective persuasion the authors also employed various rhetorical devices which are often found in the other genres of hortatory works. In Chapter IV I analysed the letters in the NT in order to show that these letters resonate with the hortatory letters that were composed for psychagogy (viz. pastoral care). Firstly, I focused on the analysis of Paul’s first letter, i.e. 1 Thessalonians, to show that the author of the first Christian letter was as pastor above all concerned with pastoral care, and for effective pastoral care he borrowed from the Greco-Roman hortatory letter tradition. From this analysis I concluded that 1 Thessalonians can be located in the hortatory letter tradition, but has its own distinct character differing from common hortatory letters. These features must have resulted from Paul’s efforts to take care of his believers in the Christian faith. In the remainder of this chapter I analysed the rest of the letters in the NT, considering the outcome of the analysis of 1 Thessalonians together with the broader hortatory tradition. I found that the rest of the letters in the NT could be classed as hortatory letters for the purpose of psychagogy, i.e. pastoral letters, in terms of both their structural and formal features, and of their composition, purpose and function. In Chapter V I analysed a number of selected pastoral letters from early Christian authors. Firstly, I surveyed the history of Christian letters and their authors to provide a general background for this chapter. From these authors and their letters, I chose sixteen pastoral letters from fifteen Christian leaders based on stated criteria, and analysed them, considering both the earliest Christian pastoral letters (viz. the letters in the NT) and the broader Greco-Roman hortatory letter tradition. As a result of this analysis I found that these selected letters had features in common with the earliest Christian pastoral letters, especially in terms of their purpose and function, as well as distinctly Christian characteristics. I then compared the outcome of this analysis with selected letters from non-pastoral Christian letter types (viz. the festal or paschal letter type, the synodic letter type, the papal letter type and the “essay in letter form”). I found that, though the selected pastoral letters and nonpastoral letters had some literary features in common, such as structure and form, and employed rhetorical devices, they nevertheless differed in terms of purposes and function. In the last chapter, Chapter VI, I briefly summarised the entire dissertation / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie proefskrif het ten doel om die bestaan van ’n Christelike brieftradisie, nl. die pastorale brieftipe, in die eerste vyf eeue van hierdie era na te spoor. Vir hierdie doel het ek die probleem- en doelstellings, teoretiese uitgangspunte, navorsingsvraagstukke, hipoteses, metodologieë en strukture van die proefskrif in Hoofstuk I uiteengesit. In Hoofstuk II het ek ’n oorsig gegee van moderne studie oor die Grieks-Romeinse epistolografie. Ek het ook nagevors hoe die studie van Christelike briewe aansluiting vind by die Grieks-Romeinse epistolografie, en watter bydrae hierdie studie tot die ontwikkeling van moderne studie oor die Grieks-Romeinse epistolografie gemaak het. Bykomend hiertoe het ek gefokus op die studie van ’n Christelike brieftradisie wat veral gedurende die middel van die twintigste eeu gefloreer het, en het sekere leemtes in hierdie vooraafgaande studies uitgewys, nl. die feit dat die analise van briewe tot slegs sekere periodes beperk is, en die versuim om generiese eienskappe en pastorale oogmerke in aanmerking te neem. Daarna het ek aan die einde van die hoofstuk aangedui wat nog gedoen behoort te word, soos om ’n breër spektrum van bronne en tydperke te benut, en om aandag te gee aan volgehoue tendense in die teorie en praktyk van psigagogiese briewe gedurende die eerste vyf eeue van hierdie era. In die lig van bogenoemde oorsig het ek in Hoofstuk III gefokus op die generiese eienskappe van Grieks-Romeinse hortatiewe briewe en hulle psigagogiese funksies, om die agtergrond te skets waarteen die generiese eienskappe en funksies van die vroegste Christelike briewe, nl. die briewe in die NT, teen ’n breër hortatiewe tradisie bestudeer kan word. Na aanleiding van hierdie ondersoek het ek tot die slotsom gekom dat Grieks-Romeinse hortatiewe briewe die algemene patroon van Grieks-Romeinse lettere met betrekking tot strukturele en formele eienskappe gevolg het. Nietemin was die funksie daarvan nie net gemik op die voorligting of onderrig van die ontvangers nie, maar die skrywers het ook vir die doel van oorreding verskeie retoriese middels ingespan wat dikwels in ander genres van hortatiewe werke gebruik is. In Hoofstuk IV het ek die briewe in die NT ontleed om aan te toon dat hierdie briewe behoort tot die hortatiewe briewe wat opgestel is vir die doeleindes van psigagogie, d.w.s. pastorale sorg. Eerstens het ek gefokus op die analise van Paulus se eerste sendbrief, nl. 1 Tessalonisense, om uit te wys dat hierdie eerste Christelike skrywer as pastor boweal gemoeid was met pastorale sorg, en vir die doeleindes van effektiewe pasorale sorg deels gesteun het op die Grieks-Romeinse hortatiewe brieftradisie. Uit hierdie analise kon ek aflei at 1 Tessalonisense geskaar kan word by die hortatiewe brieftradisie, maar tog die eiesoortigheid behou waardeur dit verskil van algemene hortatiewe briewe. Hierdie eienskappe moes voortgespruit het uit Paulus se bemoeienis om te sorg vir sy volgelinge in die Christelike geloof. In die daaropvolgende deel van hierdie hoofstuk ontleed ek die ander sendbriewe in die NT teen die agtergrond van die resultate van die analise van 1 Tessalonisense asook die breër hortatiewe tradisie, en geraak tot die gevolgtrekking dat die ander sendbriewe in die NT ook geklassifiseer kan word as hortatiewe briewe vir psigagogie, d.w.s. pastorale briewe, beide wat hulle strukturele en formele eienskappe aanbetref, en die doel van hulle samestelling en funksie. In Hoofstuk V het ek probeer om ’n aantal geselekteerde pastorale briewe van vroeë Christelike skrywers te ontleed. Eerstens het ek die geskiedenis van Christelike briewe en hulle skrywers as algemene agtergrond vir hierdie hoofstuk uitgelig. Uit hierdie skrywers en hulle briewe het ek sestien pastorale briewe van vyftien Christelike skrywers, leiers van mede-Christene, gekies, gebaseer op bepaalde kriteria. Dié het ek geanaliseer teen die agtergrond van die vroegste Christelike pastorale briewe, nl. die briewe in die NT, asook die breër Grieks-Romeinse hortatiewe lettere tradisie. Deur hierdie analise kon ek vasstel dat hierde geselekteerde briewe behalwe hulle Christelike eienskappe ook ooreenkomste met die vroegste Christelike pastorale briewe toon, veral met betrekking tot hulle doel en funksie,. Daarna het ek die resultate van hierdie analise vergelyk met geselekteerde briewe van nie-pastorale Christelike brieftipes, nl. die feesbrief, die sinodale brief, die pouslike brief en die essay in briefformaat. Alhoewel die geselekteerde pastorale briewe en die nie-pastorale briewe ooreenkomste getoon het wat literêre eienskappe soos struktuur, formaat en retoriese gebruike aanbetref, verskil hulle van mekaar in terme van doel en funksie. In die laaste hoofstuk, Hoofstuk VI, word die proefskrif kortliks opgesom

The topic of this dissertation is a Medieval collection of 116 love letters (and fragments thereof), composed in all likelihood in the 12th century and commonly known today as "Epistulae duorum amantium". The only extant copy, penned by the Librarian of Clairvaux Abbey, comes from the latter half of the 15th century. The manuscript was discovered no sooner than in the 1970s and has been a subject of many questions ever since: It is not clear who the author of the original is or if the scribe copied a collection of genuine intimate correspondence or a work of rhetorical fiction (of the "ars dictaminis" genre). Nevertheless, certain aspects of the narrative and the relationship between the two lovers as depicted in the texts make some contemporary Medieval scholars believe that the collection might be an authentic record of the correspondence between the influential French theologian Abélard and his student Heloïse, written during the period of their mutual intensive romantic attachment. The aim of this dissertation is to present a complete Czech translation of the collection, accompanied by commentary and, using relevant works of secondary literature, to assess the current stage of research regarding the authenticity of the correspondence and its authorship.

Esta dissertação compreende a tradução, descrição, análise e anotação crítica das cartas que compõem a correspondência, produzida de ca. 394/395 a 419, entre Aurélio Agostinho (Tagaste, atual Souk Ahras, 354 - Hipona, atual Annaba, 430/431), presbítero e posteriormente bispo em Hipona, e Eusébio Jerônimo (Estridão, atual Liubliana, 331 - Belém, 419/420), monge então residente em Belém. Esta dissertação também compreende um estudo introdutório dessa correspondência, dividido em duas partes: uma interpretação de elementos nas cartas à luz do gênero epistolar helenístico, sua teoria e prática, conforme estas foram descritas tanto por outros escritores gregos e latinos, antigos e cristãos, quanto por críticos modernos; em seguida, uma contextualização histórica do texto, por sua vez fundamentada nos estudos da correspondência e na historiografia moderna, com enfoque na biografia de nossos autores, os quais viveram em uma época marcada por questões caras ao desenvolvimento da patrística latina como a discussão acerca da interpretação e tradução das Sagradas Escrituras, o combate às heresias, e, mais importante, o papel político e social da Igreja Católica na busca por uma doutrina cristã unívoca e ortodoxa durante a Antiguidade Tardia. / This dissertation comprehends the translation, analysis, and critical annotation of the letters that compose the correspondence of Aurelius Augustine (Thagast, modern day Souk Ahras, 354 - Hippo Regius, modern day Annaba, 430/431), presbyter and then bishop of Hippo, with Eusebius Jerome (Stridon, modern day Ljubliana, 331 - Bethlehem, 419/420), a monk then living in Bethlehem, and which were changed between the years of ca. 394/395 and 419. This dissertation also comprehends an introductory study, in two parts, of the correspondence: first, an interpretation of elements from it in light of the Hellenistic epistolary genre, according to its theory and practice, as described both by Greek and Roman, ancient and christian writers, and by contemporary scholars; afterwards, a historical analysis of the text, supported by studies of the correspondence and modern historiographic scholarship, with emphasis on biographies of our authors, who lived in an age marked by important causes to the development of Latin Patristics, such as the correct interpretation and translation of the Holy Scripture, the battle against heresies, and most importantly the political and social role played by the Church, in the search for a unified, catholic and orthodox christian doctrine during Late Antiquity.

Esta dissertação apresenta a edição fidedigna e anotada da correspondência do polígrafo modernista Mário de Andrade (1893-1945), com o poeta pernambucano Ascenso Ferreira (1895-1965) e sua esposa, Stella Griz Ferreira (1898-1974). A transcrição integral de 138 cartas, pertencente ao Arquivo Mário de Andrade, no Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da Universidade de São Paulo, a recomposição cronológica dos diálogos, considerando a parcela de cartas de Mário ao casal, já publicadas em livros, e o procedimento de anotação das mensagens epistolares buscam ampliar o conhecimento das redes de sociabilidade no modernismo brasileiro, oferecendo elementos biográficos e testemunhais para o estudo da obra dos interlocutores e de seus processos de criação. A análise da correspondência, em perspectiva interdisciplinar, apreende os principais pontos da discussão acerca da criação poética e das manifestações folclóricas do nordeste brasileiro. / This dissertation presents a reliable and annotated edition of the correspondence the polygraph modernist Mário de Andrade (1893-1945), with the poet from Pernambuco Ascenso Ferreira (1895-1965) and his wife, Stella Griz Ferreira (1898-1974). The full transcript of 138 letters, belonging to Archive Mário de Andrade, the Institute of Brazilian Studies, University of Sao Paulo, the chronological rearrangement of the dialogues, considering the amount of letters from Mario to the couple, already published in books, and the annotation procedure of epistolary messages seek to broaden the knowledge of sociability networks in Brazilian modernism, offering biographical information and testimonial to the study of the work of the interlocutors and their creative processes. The analysis of the correspondence, in an interdisciplinary perspective, apprehends the main points of discussion of poetic creation and the folklore of northeast Brazil.

A presente tese dedicou-se à reunião e ao estudo da correspondência trocada entre o escritor paulista Mário de Andrade (1893-1945) e os rapazes ligados à revista Verde (1927-1929) de Cataguases (MG), a saber: Ascânio Lopes (1906-1929), Camilo Soares (1909-1982), Enrique de Resende (1899-1973), Francisco Inácio Peixoto (1909-1986), Guilhermino Cesar (1908- 1993) e Rosário Fusco (1910-1977). A pesquisa coligiu documentação epistolar inédita dos envolvidos, matéria esparsa em arquivos públicos e privados, tendo em vista a proposta de reconstituição da trama da sociabilidade intelectual e literária na década de 1920. Cumpriramse a transcrição fidedigna, a ordenação cronológica e a anotação exaustiva das cartas, em termos editoriais, segundo pressupostos da crítica textual e dos estudos da epistolografia, resultando em uma seleta que soma 122 cartas e compõe a primeira parte desta tese. Considerando-se o ineditismo das cartas reunidas, vislumbrou-se a possibilidade de uma nova perspectiva de estudo sobre os verdes. Portanto, o trabalho que acompanha o conjunto de cartas está dividido em três tópicos: (a) apresenta os sete correspondentes; (b) investiga em que medida essa documentação auxilia na reconstrução da trajetória do Grupo Verde; e (c) aborda, criticamente, as cartas elementos que propiciam reavaliar a organização dos rapazes como agrupamento de vanguarda, que favoreceram a observação do relacionamento epistolar deles com Mário de Andrade e que ajudaram a avaliar a participação desses escritores no Movimento Modernista brasileiro. / This thesis aimed to collect and study the correspondence between the writer Mário de Andrade (1893-1945) and Ascânio Lopes (1906-1929), Camilo Soares (1909-1982), Enrique de Resende (1899-1973), Francisco Inácio Peixoto (1909-1986), Guilhermino Cesar (1908- 1993) and Rosário Fusco (1910-1977), the writers related to Verde (Green), modernist magazine that was edited by Grupo Verde de Cataguases (Green Group from Cataguases), between 1927 and 1929. In order to restore the peculiarities of the literary and intellectual sociability in the 1920s, this research compiled unpublished epistolary documents and material dispersed in public and private archives. Guided by epistolary study and textual criticism principles, it has been done a trustworthy transcription, a chronological ordering and an exhaustive annotation of the letters. These procedures resulted in a selection of 122 letters that compose the first section of this thesis. Considering the uniqueness of the selected letters, it was able to glimpse the possibility of a new perspective regarding the study of the Grupo Verde de Cataguases. Therefore, the academic work which follows the correspondence was divided into three topics: (a) the introduction of the seven correspondents; (b) the analyse of the extension to which these documents will facilitate the reconstruction of Grupo Verdes trajectory; and (c) the discussion of the letters contents through a critical approach considering the selected letters as elements that allow the reassessment of these writers organization as an avant-garde group, which favor the observation of their epistolary relationships with Mário de Andrade and that help to clarify the Grupo Verde participation in the Brazilian Modernist Movement.
