SUMMARY:

The theme of this work is the publishing of avant-garde literary periodicals in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Panoramically, the adopted time frame comprises the period from the 1920s – when the activation of the “avant-garde function” within the Brazilian modernity project can be finally considered – until the early 1990s – when some of the very agents of avant-garde in Minas Gerais and Brazil carried out an assessment of the activities they undertook throughout the 20th century. As for the analyses of individual periodicals, on the other hand, the late 1970s were chosen as a limit. By inquiring about the specificity of the contribution of Minas Gerais regarding the publishing of avant-garde literary periodicals along the adopted time frame, we aimed at devising an extensive mapping of these publications, as well as qualitatively assessing the poetic and editorial ethos of the contemplated periodicals through the degree of experimentation and rupture they present in relation to the conventions underlying their respective constituent elements, both material and discursive. Throughout the process, we sought to establish refunctionalizing criteria that may allow us to evaluate – diachronically and synchronically – the contribution of the analyzed periodicals regarding the poetic and editorial repertoire inside and outside Minas Gerais. Methodologically, this study is essentially qualitative, with emphasis on documentary research. A fundamental part of the research took place from the consultation of primary sources – periodicals, books and “other topographies” which belong to the theme under consideration – available in different libraries and collections, either public or private. At the same time, it was necessary to confront the documentary survey with all the bibliographical research – that is, the consultation of secondary sources – directly or indirectly related to the theme. Having established a corpus of publications belonging to our theme and time frame, we carried out individual analyses of strategically selected periodicals – either by virtue of their historical importance and/or the singularity of their editorial and publishing proposal – in order to elucidate our research problem. These analyses made use of the critical association of the discussed theoretical foundations with the specific technical aspects regarding the editorial and publishing activities. Subsequently, we mutually associated the analyses of individual periodicals, performing a cross-referenced interpretation of the various editorial and publishing aspects under scrutiny, in order to delineate, with greater precision, the specificity of the studied periodicals when considered both collectively and individually. By dialectically connecting, in the context of Publishing Studies, Pierre Bourdieu’s “science of works of art” with the theory of some of the most radical agents of Brazilian literary avant-garde, such as Moacy Cirne, Álvaro de Sá and Neide Dias de Sá, critically and transversally complemented by a body of works which belong to different disciplines, such as History, Semiology, Information Theory, Communication and Typography, we sought to establish a methodology that is both solid and dynamic, offering a new point of reference for future reflections and research, in addition to contributing to the historical review of an important moment in our recent memory, put in perspective from a renewed and prospective functional organization.
