Pois, camarada velho, sente-se aí e vamos conversar : a doação compartilhada nas cartas de Mário e Drummond

Abstract

This dissertation is a study about the influence wielded by Mário de Andrade in the human formation and in the creative process of the poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade, from the meeting between Minas Gerais author and the Brazilian modernist movement. Using as corpus the correspondence between the two poets, during the period of 1924 to 1945, included in the work Carlos & Mário (2002), we seek to show the shared donation movement that took place between them, the mutual acting in the construction of friendship, based on the premise that letters are ways of subjectivity, instruments that trigger changes, adhesion and sociability, and when exchanged between writers, they are no longer simple biographical accounts and exceed their limits, becoming an autonomous literary object. For experience the revolutionary context of the modernist movement, the two artists met in the letters writing a strategic space for debate and formulation of their thoughts and ideals. In this sense, we try to clarify the importance of the aesthetic formation of Mário in combating the drummondiana nostalgic resistance; the effort of the São Paulo s writer in presenting, with the patience of a didactic teacher-friend, the modernist ideas present in his theoretical platform, innovative sources of poetic teachings; and the gradual incorporation of Mário de Andrade s friend s lessons by Drummond, to the point that the two corresponding start to dialogue not as master and disciple, but as intellectuals and artists of equal size and autonomy of thought
