Abstract

The article discusses the role of literary narratives as mediators, in a job with the written language, of the changes in the structure of subjective experience, caused by the technologies and increase of urban life, between 1890 and 1920. Setting the modernization of Rio de Janeiro city as a background, spectacle narratives problematize the shake-up on the representation sphere. Authors like João do Rio (Paulo Barreto), Benjamin Costallat, Olavo Bilac and Lima Barreto discuss the new concepts of time and space, subjectivity processes and its consequences for literature, among the modern strategies of mobility and circulation.
