Resumo:
This work has the intention to develop a reading of Luís da Câmara Cascudo, from his
only published novel, titled as Canto de Muro: Romance de Costumes. Even though the
author tried various experiments clerks, as concerned with the study of Popular Culture, history,
ethnography, and in various memorialistic texts is in this particular book that Cascudo throws a
whole load emotional and sentimental, instilling an intense self-written, performed a reading
from his childhood and life memories. Thus, our intention to seek a production at this level is to
find the marks of a Câmara Cascudo novelist, an unexpected activity, which shows the marks
of an author who does not shun topics that were part of the corpus of his work. It is from
this particular record, we will examine its indirect involvement with the Regionalist Movements and
moreover with Modernism from São Paulo. We question, that this reference to the literary world in
his works is on the fact that the author worry about the marks produced by popular, then, because
of this prerogative, we consider essential to work the concepts of popular culture, as well as
folk and tradition, drawing a parallel between the questions posed by researchers and own Câmara
Cascudo understanding. Well, we understand that studying these identifications of Câmara
Cascudo is that we can understand him as a writer, moreover, point out what are the
goals inherent in his work. Thus, Canto de Muro is housed within this complex clerk by which the
author throughout his years of intense research threads that weaves together a production
to another.
