Um dos capítulos mais importantes da recepção do teatro alemão no Brasil se iniciou em 1958, com a montagem de "A alma boa de Setsuan". A encenação de muitas entre suas obras a partir de então colocou novas questões dramatúrgicas e teóricas num cenário aberto à experimentação estética e marcado pela dialética entre o teatro e o turbulento contexto social brasileiro da época. Grupos como o Arena, o Oficina e o CPC discutiram, atualizaram e articularam a obra de Brecht com suas próprias pesquisas. Como essa recepção, ontem como hoje no Brasil, é feita a partir dos mais diferentes referenciais teóricos e críticos, faz-se necessária a revisitação da crítica esclarecedora de Anatol Rosenfeld sobre Brecht. Profundo conhecedor de estética teatral, da teoria do teatro épico, da obra de Brecht e do teatro brasileiro, Rosenfeld tem papel decisivo em vários debates em torno de sua obra e de sua influência no teatro brasileiro. Nesse artigo, a partir de questões que surgem da recepção contemporânea de Brecht, pretendemos acompanhar algumas etapas desse percurso na obra de Rosenfeld, que é tanto teórico como histórico e crítico e se constitui como um dos mais lúcidos e atuais estudos sobre Brecht e o teatro brasileiro.
This article discusses some aspects of Brecht's work and its relationship with the Brazilian literary, historical and socio-political life. The focus is on the inconsistency of the struggle for the so-called Bildung, where the advances of new ideas and social forms are in conflict with a reactionary context.
The Recife’s School was a Brazilian movement during the last quarter of the 19th century, whose main goals were to inform the Empire Court of provincial problems and introduce Brazil to ideas and theories of German philosophers. The first history of Brazilian literature was written in 1888 by Sílvio Romero and is considered part of this movement. According to this work, Brazil should be connected to German thought. Romero’s reception of the German authors is not passive; he engages in dialogue through his text by connecting, criticizing and elaborating upon his references. The autonomy of thought he proves in this process is the same autonomy he demands from Brazilian intellectualists. In order to develop the talents inherent to Brazil, he believes they should widen their cultural horizons, instead of only being dependent on French culture. Only then Brazil would be able to occupy a position equal amongst developed nations. Romero’s conception of race and his idea, that it is possible to include the totality of Brazilian literature in his work are both out of date. However, in the História da Literatura Brasileira there are methodological aspects in common with the modern theories on writing histories of literature, such as the choice of texts not only according to aesthetics criterions and the interdisciplinarity, because the author relates biology, sociology, economy, and politics with literature.
Fifteen years after his death in 1991 one can trace a certain tendency to turn the person and personality of Herbert Caro into a legendary figure where his work as a recognized translator mingles with episodes related to his passion for music as well as his specific kind of humour. It is therefore of no surprise that Caro himself turned into a literary character of the novel As Confissões de Lúcio by Brazilian writer Fernando Monteiro.
