O lugar da literatura na produção da cidade latino-americana: desvendando Satolep

Abstract

This work explores the relationship between literature and urbanism, understanding literary works as tools capable of exploring, in general, the processes of cultural formation of cities, and in particular, the process of production and appropriation of urban space. Literature, architecture and urbanism were largely influenced by cultural, political and aesthetic movements constituted in contemporary society. Thus, the work seeks to establish relationships between literary texts and as possibilities for their use as tools for reading, interpreting and appropriating urban form. For reasons of identity, the focus of the theme selects Latin America as a territory to be explored. In this way, through a case study, it seeks to bring together, both in the field of literature and urbanism, the understanding of recent urban phenomena in order to build an investigation located in time, space and in the context of cultural manifestations that can illustrate the consequences of an urban crisis resulting from the exhaustion of the modernist functionalist matrix. Therefore, the work for analysis is the book Satolep, written by Vitor Ramil.
