ARCHIVED MEMORY: FORMATION OF POTIGUAR LITERATURE IN THE FIRST SPEECHES OF ACADEMIC PEOPLE PUBLISHED IN THE MAGAZINE OF THE ACADEMIA NORTE-RIO-GRANDENSE DE LETRAS
Revista da Academia Norte-rio-grandense de Letras, literary journal, Norte-rio-grandense authors
This research was conceived with the intention of offering a critical and analytical reading of the early discourses of academic writers published in the Revista da Academia Norte-rio-grandense de Letras (Norte-rio-grandense Academy of Letters Review), with the aim of better understanding how the initial construction process of the literature produced in Rio Grande do Norte took place. The referred discourses provide important records from a time when a literary system did not yet exist in the state, within the context of the formation of Brazilian literature (CANDIDO, 2013). This set of analyzed texts becomes quite representative, as it brings relevant information in its context for understanding how our literary formation initially occurred. Therefore, we intend to conduct a reading based on the theories of CANDIDO (2013), CALVINO (2009), and ELIOT (1989), the thesis will analyze the contributions of writers, members of the Academia Norte-rio-grandense de Letras, published in the Revista da ANRL, to understand how the cultural and literary debate in the mid-19th century, the period of formation of our letters, took place. Based on the selected discourses for analysis, we attempt to create a panel demonstrating how some authors influenced others, forming a literary tradition (CANDIDO, 2013). The set of analyzed discourses characterizes the existence of an intellectual field that is still unexplored and little known, based on small literary manifestations.
