Abstract

The article analyzes possible common features between poems from the book Um homem na multidão (1926) by Ribeiro Couto and Edgar Allan Poe's “The man from the crowd” (1840). The analysis focuses movements of approach and distance between the texts, emphasizing the intertextual relationship between the two titles. Considering Genette's conceptions of intertextuality, we discuss how the hypertext-hypotext relationship helps to understand the processes of signification arising from the dialogue between those works. Walter Benjamin studies about the “flâneur” in Baudelaire and in the short story of Poe are also considered as we try to stablish a parallel between those writers and the mode of apprehension of the urban space by the lyrical subject, in Ribeiro Couto.
