A Cultural History of Rio de Janeiro after 1889 Part III: Reading and Writing Rio de Janeiro

A Cultural History of Rio de Janeiro after 1889 : Part III: Reading and Writing Rio de Janeiro [In this chapter, I take a journey through works in Rio de Janeiro’s literary history.

Cuenca, I explore how time and space are constructed and explored in literature.

Abstract

[In this chapter, I take a journey through works in Rio de Janeiro’s literary history. Through an in-depth and close reading of Machado de Assis, Lima Barreto, Elizabeth Bishop, Tatiana Salem Levy, and J.P. Cuenca, I explore how time and space are constructed and explored in literature. In a purposefully broad sweep of works, published between 1908 and 2012, with subject matter from 1888 until after 2016, I find a recurring theme of complex nostalgia undermining the dominant developmental discourses that have defined the city’s modern history. Moreover, it is a study of various forms, including novel, short story, poem, correspondence, that sees a unique relationship to time emerge as a dominant motif in Carioca literature.]
