Diálogos do Senhor da Casa-Grande com o Menino de Engenho: interseção sociologia-literatura em Gilberto Freyre e José Lins do Rego.

Abstract

Gilberto Freyre is the main elaborator of the set of ideas concerning Northeast region. This construction - politicai and intellectual one at the same time - brings him about to the past period of the mentioned region, in search of the lost glory and pomp. From this (re) construction the intellectual arises, with a manorial world perspective, ontologically (and organically) related to the sugar plant and to the owner's house worlds. In his sociological interpretation texts written since the beginning of 20's, from the past century, there are already the main themes which will be in José Lins do Rego's novéis written in the following decade, by consubstantiating, this way, a rich aesthetic act of unfolding about the cited regionalism and, at the same time, an intersection between Sociology and Literature that we studied by dealing with essays, novéis and letters from these two authors which mix up Sociology and novel, concepts. fondness and ideologies under an understanding which varies from a nostalgic one to a dramatic or empathic one about a sociability that belongs to the immemorial roots of our society. Thafs our theme.
