Abstract

This work is the result of research, debates and critical readings carried out during the scientific initiation journey (2020-2021). The objective of the study is to bring the novel Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha (1909), by Lima Barreto, closer to contemporaneity through a concept inaugurated by a contemporary writer. For this, the intention is to reflect the writing through writings produced by Conceição Evaristo, in order to clarify that the fictionalization of memory differs from an autobiography. In addition, it is intended to revisit some studies on the critical fortune of Lima Barreto and reinvigorate reflections on history in the light of Benjaminian and Barthesian theories. And, thus, to be in harmony with the Agambenian idea of ​​what is contemporary.
