A poética da visualidade em Memórias Sentimentais de João Miramar, de Oswald de Andrade

Abstract

This essay aims to achieve a possible reading of the novel, Memórias Sentimentais de João Miramar, from the theoretical concepts of film, from Eisenstein's theory of montage, once we see the need for a technique of montage in reading the chapters-fragments in this novel. In addition to the theory of montage of Eisenstein s movie, this research will also use the concept of image from Ezra Pound theory of imagism in order to understand the process of condensing the image used in Oswald de Andrade novel. We also analyze the process of metonymy, caused by telegraphic language used in the novel, and the possible presence of cubism in the concatenation of its chapters and juxtaposition-pieces in order to corroborate the theory that Oswald de Andrade anticipates several concepts of modern literary theory, creating, therefore, a real poetry of visuality in his work
