Dissertação (Mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Pará, Instituto de Letras e Comunicação, Belém, 2015. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/6736This work establishes a dialogue between the poem "the native of cancer," the Para Ruy Paranatinga Barata, and the concept of transculturation Angel Rama. The stylistic analysis will be proposed by Carlos Reis (1976), according to which both the formal aspects linguistics as their transgression in the text contribute to its significance, including dialoguing with the context. The poem is discussed under the assumption that he was a modern epic of the Amazon, in which lyrical and epic amalgamate as Emil Staiger(1977), and from which the concept coined by Rama in the literature relates to the idea of regionalism and the same author of modernity, according to Baudelaire. Thus , we present the poem and its historical and literary context relating poetic form and content to the concepts of transculturation , modernity , epic, mediation and autonomy and engagement.We will see that in their structure the external elements, as a society, history and biography become internal, mainly by the use of the image, becoming a part of the text structure, as postulated Antonio Candido (2006).porAcesso AbertoLiteratura brasileira - Séc.
