Abstract

This paper aims to analysis’s corpus the romances Estorvo, Benjamim and Budapeste, of Chico Buarque. Our objective was to approach them from what throughout the research we consider the three main author’s themes, namely: the subject’s problematic incontemporaneity, the city and the memory. For this, we begin our course departing of basic hypothesis of that the city permeates all the buarqueams narratives, finding mapping the Rio de Janeiro’s representations in some key-authors of the modernity in order to observe the construction’s specificity of the space by the author, object of the first chapter. After that, we discuss the differences between the construction’s mode of the subjectivity in Benjamin, and in Estorvo, in order to demonstrate how the author put in scenes, in each of the romances, various practices of live the subjectivity that cannot be reduced to a single concept of subject in post modernity. Eventually, object of third chapter, we resume to the city’s theme in Budapeste, romance that do migrate to the Rio’s representation to Hungarian capital, analyzing what this change implies.
