Os lugares de memória e a São Paulo da década de XX: uma análise sobre Pauliceia Desvairada de Mário de Andrade

Abstract

This work will examine the poetic representations of Mário de Andrade‟s book Pauliceia desvairada, from the concept of "places of memory" of Pierre Nora (1981). So we try to think the images and references present in the book, either as confirmation of the need to preserve local and national memory elements, or as memory decline confirmation, in its classical sense. In addition, we will discuss the implications of these issues in the very concept of memory, literature and history.
