A cristalização da Idade Média na Literatura Brasileira

Abstract

Based on the theme “Re-reading of the Medieval Tradition”, we will tell about the esthetic crystallization process, one of the operational concepts of the Theory of Residuality, in works of the Brazilian Literature that bring residues of the Middle Age, historic period that didn’t exist in Brazil in fact. The crystallization consists of an esthetic reuse of literary and cultural residues made by artists, for instance writers. In this case, we will analyze how some residues of the medieval culture were crystallized, providing masterpieces in our Literature.
