Jogos políticos na terra imatura: as experiências políticas dos modernistas paraenses - 1930-1945

Abstract

This dissertation tried to show the influence of the political experiences of the modernists between 1930 and 1945 in the work of art they have created, just as the reciprocal influence of the modernist movement as a hole in the politic actuation of the intellectuals of Pará on the creation of a group feeling, in the fight for social justice and freedom. Bruno de Menezes and Dancídio Jurandir, two of the most important modernists of Pará, and extremely engaged on social movements, are leading us to this objective. On both author’s books, we find signs of the surviving fights, the concerning about the social well-being, the engagement in left-wing political parties, in movements against the established social order and the conflicts and traumas generated by those experiences.
