Abstract

The article presents a reading of O turista aprendiz, the series of chronicles written by Mário de Andrade during his trip to the Brazilian Northeast in the late 1920’s. The main interest is to describe the reactions of an intellectual haunted by the contradictions of the Brazilian modernist experience. Through the analysis of two relevant chronicles, the reading examines the esthetical and historical impasses revealed in the contact between the writer and the social configurations to which he was exposed during the trip.
