Masculinidades em Belém do Grão-Pará de Dalcídio Jurandir, um olhar caleidoscópico: História e Literatura (1920-1950)

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the masculinities presented by the Para writer Dalcídio Jurandir in his novel Belém do Grão-Pará and the elements that make it up, identifying a plurality that offers support for establishing a concept of masculinity based on the problems raised by the American philosopher Judith Butler. Transitioning between the 1920s, in which the work is set, and the 1950s, in which the writer constructs his work, the aim is to identify aspects present in the time in which the writer lived and the context in which he chose to establish his writing. In the meantime, the research establishes a comparison between the literary work Belém do Grão-Pará and other historical sources, with a predominance of printed sources, the newspapers that circulated in the Pará press in 1950.
