Literatura, história e representação: do trovadorismo galego-português à contemporaneidade em Adolfo Mariano

Abstract

The aim of this research is an interdisciplinary approach between Literature and History, in order to verify the residual persistence of medieval Galician- Portuguese troubadour songs, about love, friendship and mockery, which were in vogue in the Iberian Peninsula from the twelfth century until the mid- fourteenth century, in the poetic production of Adolfo Mariano, a writer from the Brazilian State of Goiás, active in the twentieth century. For this purpose, a survey of the political, social and cultural issues that fostered the birth of Portugal and the representation of historical and behavioral facts in the songs of Troubadourism was carried out, as well as the origins and development of this literary movement. Once this procedure was done, it was possible to verify how, through the memory of the first Portuguese colonizers, these songs came to Brazil and over the years were active and residually present in authors such as José de Anchieta, Gregório de Matos, Domingos Caldas Barbosa, Gonçalves Dias, Álvares de Azevedo, Cecília Meireles and Adolfo Mariano. About the latter, a survey of his life and work was carried out, as well as an approach to the historical, social, and cultural context of Goiás and the town named Goiandira, the place where the poet lived, and the representation of this picture in the verses and songs of the Goiás bard. In an attempt to establish relations between the troubadour songs and the poetic production of Adolfo Mariano, we analyzed poems and fragments whose writing is part of the tradition of the popular singers of the ABCs and Modas de viola, thus verifying the cultural and literary residualities present in this poetics. The theoretical framework was based on Roger Chartier (1990; 2002); Jacques Le Goff (2013); (2009) Raymond Williams (1979); Roberto Pontes (1999); José Aparecido Teixeira (1979); Rosa Nepomuceno (1999), Romildo Sant'anna (2000); Maria Alice Amorim (2002), among others.
