Lima Barreto, Elitism, and the Emergence of Mass Society in Brazil (1900s–1920s)
No full textThis article focuses on the strategies used by Lima Barreto for catering to the emerging mass readerships in Brazil in the first decades of the 20th century. While many writers and intellectuals reacted against the incorporation of literature into mass society, others embraced the opportunity to reach out to an unprecedented number of readers in Brazil through popular illustrated magazines. The article will provide the context and give some examples of how Lima Barreto engaged with these periodicals (particularly with Careta) and how he positioned himself against the elitist tendency in literature in Brazil and beyond
A Postcard to an Anonymous Reader: Lima Barreto’s Brazilian Diction in the Magazine Careta
Get PDFThis article analyses Lima Barreto’s Brazilian diction as suggested by Manuel Bandeira in 1929. I focus on the period between 1915 and 1922 when Lima Barreto collaborated to the magazine Careta, one of the most popular publications in that period, circulating widely within Brazil and abroad. I argue that Lima Barreto’s Brazilian diction goes beyond grammar and collocation issues and can be regarded as connected to the emerging visual culture of the period. In Careta he was able to reach a nationwide audience in a context of great advance of images over belletrism. In this context, I point out that Lima Barreto did not react against this process and indeed incorporated pictorial strategies into his pieces of mass circulation
The case of the magazine Careta in Lima Barreto's journalistic oeuvre (1915-1922)
No full textThis thesis examines the articles the Brazilian writer Lima Barreto (1881-1922) published in the popular satirical magazine Careta. It argues that Careta epitomises Lima Barreto’s aim to create social impact through literature, as it provided him with the largest readership he enjoyed in his lifetime, reaching hundreds of thousands of readers weekly nationwide and internationally. The thesis expands the knowledge about the strategies Lima Barreto used to convey his ideas, showing how he endeavoured to engage with mass audiences in order to combat social fragmentation and intellectual alienation in early twentieth century Brazil. The significance of this thesis is evident on two levels. First, I demonstrate throughout the chapters that Barreto fully engaged with Careta to convey his ideas to a mass audience, choosing the magazine as his main periodical voice in the last years of his life. This argument challenges the idea that Lima Barreto was a marginal writer in the First Republic. Second, the originality of this thesis lies in locating and uncovering almost one hundred and fifty hitherto unknown texts, most of them published pseudonymously in Careta. Chapter one discusses the militancy of Barreto's works. Chapter two argues that Barreto elected magazines, more than newspapers, to convey his message to a large audience. Chapter three relates the early history of Careta. Chapter four suggests that Barreto incorporated pictorial strategies into his articles. Chapter five argues that Barreto embraced Careta's central theme derived from the Commedia dell'Arte. Chapter six discusses systematically the pseudonyms attributed to Barreto in Careta and provides robust evidence that he published many hitherto unknown texts pseudonymously. Finally, I conclude that Careta encapsulates Barreto's efforts to reach a mass readership and communicate with readers beyond literary circles
LIMA BARRETO'S MARGINÁLIA:THE MAGAZINE WRITER'S DREAM
Get PDFThis article analyses Lima Barreto's lifelong relationship with magazines not only as a contributor, but also as a founder, editor, and even collector of these ephemeral publications. His debut in 1902 as a writer for his college magazine, A Lanterna, and his death in 1922 while contributing to A.B.C. and Careta, can be considered symbolic events that epitomize the birth and death of a career whole heartedly dedicated to this métier. A central argument is that it is highly significant that Barreto published his works in magazines more often than in newspapers. To him, magazines were stores of rhetorical weapons, artefacts that could confront the intellectual values established and concentrated in Rio de Janeiro
