Circuito fechado, de Ricardo Ramos: a cidade como cenário de automação e incompletude do ser

Abstract

Starting from the first Industrial Revolution, the city goes by a great transformation, adhering to the seductions of the technological modernity and, of course, suffering its consequences. Literature was influencied by those changes and started to reflect their impact on the urban people. With this study I intend to demonstrate how the urban space is configured in the Ricardo Ramos’ shorts stories entitled “Circuito fechado”.
