Abstract

In Remate de males (1930), the fourth modernist book of Mário de Andrade, the first poem of the group Tempo da Maria – “Moda do corajoso” – has a lyrical voice that wavers between the consciousness of the absurdity of his love for a married woman and, at the same time, the awareness of been overwhelmed by it. As a reader of Freud, Mário de Andrade is concerned of the process of sublimation and repression – the so called “sequestration of the absent lady” – found by him in Brazilian popular culture and also present is his verses. Moreover, there is in the poem the reinvention of the popular Brazilian musicality. The careful study of the verses of “Moda do corajoso” shows, therefore, the sublimation of desire for a prohibited lady, as well as the influence of music in Mário de Andrade’s thought, constant concern that can be found in his verses.
