O subúrbio carioca no início do século XX nas perspectivas de Lima Barreto

Abstract

This paper aims to answer two main questions: how are the physical structures and sociability in the Rio suburban context in the early 20th century in Lima Barreto. In order to do so, it was important to discuss ethical and aesthetic perceptions in the writings of the writer, as well as to address his social and literary context. Subsequently, in the second chapter, the main focus is on the physical conjunctures of the suburb, which sought to understand the generic conception of the suburbs and the different perceptions of the origin of the suburb of Rio de Janeiro by researchers, in order to address the vision of Lima Barreto on the suburb of Rio de Janeiro in its socio-geographical context. At this moment, we find the geographical delimitation of the suburban space and the many criticisms of the state neglect outlined by Lima Barreto. The third chapter deals with the sociability of the suburban people described and analyzed by the writer; that is, it is about reporting the daily life of the suburban based on the behavior, the personality and the morale of the suburban.
