RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Um elenco dos obstáculos JF Luso-Brazilian Review JO Luso-Braz Rev FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 12 OP 35 DO 10.3368/lbr.55.2.12 VO 55 IS 2 A1 Osvaldo Manuel Silvestre YR 2018 UL http://lbr.uwpress.org/content/55/2/12.abstract AB The essay aims to conceive some of the obstacles that the literary, critical, academic and institutional triumph of modernism poses both to “1922 Modernism” and to Brazilian literature before and after the Week of Modern Art. This is done by comparing the fields of literature, music and plastic arts, and by considering the possible effects on the study of literature in Brazil of a breakdown of the critical system founded upon the triumph of modernism.
