Juó Bananére, o raté do modernismo paulista?

Abstract

This article aims to reconstruct part of the trajectory of the chronicler Juó Bananére, from São Paulo, since 1915, year which marked the beginning of Olavo Bilac's nationalist campaign. With ephemeral and circunstantial appearances in the press, Juó Bananére's good temper, with its linguistic anarquism, was always opportune in the context of the programatic nationalism which was characteristic of the years that preceded the modernism of 1922. In the beginning of the 1930's, with contributions to Aparício Aporelli's A Manha, and with the foundation of his own pasquim, Diário d'o Abax'o Piques, the chronicler contributed to reasserting the provoking - and impertinent - side of the culture of São Paulo's Belle Époque.
