Macunaíma : eine Rhapsodie
(2007)
During the first decades of the 20th century emerges a Brazilian artistic movement that aims to break with the cultural models imported from Europe. As a landmark one may cite the Week of Modern Art in São Paulo and Mário de Andrade as one of its main figures. His novel Macunaíma stands for one of the central pieces of modern Brazilian literature and was considered by Andrade as a literary rhapsody. This article aims to compare the formal elements of the rhapsody with the actual text written in 1928.
This article focuses the expeditions of Maximilian Prinz Wied zu Neuwied and Johann Moritz Rugendas to Brazil. It discusses initially basic aspects of perception from the early colonial period up to the 19th century. It will then analyze the pictorial characterization of Brazil by both travelers and the reception of their work in Europe
