The not-at-all loose form of odd men, by Victor Heringer: vanguard, inheritance and adaptations

Abstract

Based on considerations regarding the writings of Anatol Rosenfeld and Anatol Rosenfeld, the paper seeks to show how, even in works recently published in the Brazilian publishing market, specifically, O amor dos Homens Avulsos, by Victor Heringer (2016), the act of forgetting whether the avant-garde or, even, formal and stylistic processes, by which the avant-garde and modernity in the arts (here, specifically, the novel) were characterized, is impossible and, even, unlikely to be done. Through a review of Rosenfeld and Bürger's main arguments, the paper moves towards the analytical key to Heringer's text, seeking to observe how what is said in vanguard theory can also be observed in the formal and structural choices of Heringer's novel.
