REDESCOBERTA DO BRASIL: O “TURISTA APRENDIZ” E OUTROS VIAJANTES

Abstract

THIS ARTICLE PROPOSES A COMPARATIVE READING OF SOME EPISODES OF THE O TURISTA APRENDIZ, WRITTEN BY MÁRIO DE ANDRADE, WITH REPORTS OF CHRONICLERS IN COLONIAL TIMES. IN ESTABLISHING THESE RELATIONSHIPS, WE CAN SEE HOW THE AUTHOR USES TOPICAL FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF NATIVE BRAZILIAN INDIANS AND HOW THE NOTIONS OF REALITY AND FICTIONALITY CAN BE MANIPULATED IN DISCOURSE.
