Abstract

The present article refl ects on two poems of Raul Bopp’s Urucungo, published in 1932. Bopp’s work, as well as Jorge de Lima’s Poemas Negros, and Oswald de Andrade’s “Poems of Colonization”, thematize the favela, one of the modernist topoi, according to Augusto Massi. Both poems analyzed here, “Favela” and “Favela nº 2”, have as their subject the life in the favela, its people, and the oppression and limitations they undertake. We close our article by doing a comparative study between those two poems, pointing out their similarities and dissimilarities.
