The Difference

AbstractThis article examines a much cited but little understood aspect of the Latin American intellectual and cultural ferment of the 1910s and 1920s: the frequency with which intellectuals from the southeastern Brazilian state of São Paulo referred to developments in post Sáenz Peña Argentina, and to a lesser extent in Uruguay and Chile. In books, pamphlets, speeches, and the pages of a vibrant periodical press—all key sources for this article—São Paulo intellectuals extolled developments in the Southern Cone, holding them out for imitation, especially in their home state. News of such developments reached São Paulo through varied sources, including the writings of foreign travelers, which reached intellectuals and their publics through different means. Turning from circuits and sources to motives and meanings, the Argentine allusion conveyed aspects of how these intellectuals were thinking about their own society. The sense that São Paulo, in particular, might be “ready” for reform tending toward democratization, as had taken place in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, was accompanied by a belief in the difference of their southeastern state from other Brazilian states and its affinities with climactically temperate and racially “white” Spanish America. While these imagined affinities were soon forgotten, that sense of difference—among other legacies of this crucial period—would remain.

Resumo: Os mais recentes estudos sobre a poesia visual brasileira da segunda metade do século XX têm reiteradamente ressaltado as influências barrocas nos textos de artistas como Haroldo de Campos, Augusto de Campos e Décio Pignatari. No entanto, o estudo das vanguardas poéticas dos anos 1950 aos anos 1970 ainda se limita excessivamente à produção literária do eixo Rio-São Paulo, com algumas exceções (como as dos estudos sobre Ferreira Gullar). Contudo, artistas de Mato Grosso, ainda que hoje pouco conhecidos pela academia fora do estado, tiveram participação ativa e intensa nas formulações teóricas e estéticas das imbricações entre o ler e o ver na poesia visual dessa época. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo destaca a obra do poeta mato-grossense Silva Freire, o qual releu os elementos neobarrocos e concretos da arte de sua época à luz de sua cultura local, evidenciando uma outra possibilidade de entender a poesia visual: sob a lente regional de Cuiabá. Para tanto, analisa-se aqui como o barroco se revela tema, figura retórica e até mesmo item lexical na poesia freireana, mas apartado do eixo Bahia-Minas Gerais do século XVII e transmutado para o Mato Grosso do século XX.Palavras-chave: Silva Freire; barroco; regionalismo; Cuiabá.Abstract: The most recent studies about Brazilian visual poetry from the second half of the twentieth century have highlighted baroque influences on poems by Haroldo de Campos, Augusto de Campos and DécioPignatari. However, research studies on poetic avant-gardes from the 1950 to the 1970 are still excessively limited to the poetry from Rio-São Paulo, with few exceptions (such as the studies on Ferreira Gullar). Nevertheless, artists from Mato Grosso, still disregarded by scholars from other states, actively and intensively contributed to the theoretical and aesthetical discussions on the reading and seeing of visual poetry at that time. This paper highlights the work of a poet from Mato Grosso, Silva Freire, who reinterpreted the neo-baroque and concrete elements of the poetry from his time under the lenses of his local culture. Thereby, he evidenced another way to understand visual poetry: from the regional perspective of Cuiabá. To do so, we herein analyze how baroque can be considered as a theme, a rhetorical figure and a lexical item in Freire’s poetry; and how that poetry detaches baroque from the seventeenth century in Bahia and Minas Gerais and brings it to the twentieth century in Mato Grosso.Keywords: Silva Freire; baroque; regionalism; Cuiabá.

AbstractBrazil's foremost ensemble of the late twentieth century, Grupo Novo Horizonte de São Paulo, transformed Brazilian contemporary music by cultivating a new mixed-chamber repertory and giving sustained support to a generation of emerging composers. That this cosmopolitan group took, then outgrew, the Pierrot ensemble as its cornerstone signals the medium it forged: a localized, evolving spectacle with a richly internationalist heritage. This article offers a panoramic view of the musical, intercultural and historical contexts that underpin Grupo Novo Horizonte's practices and legacy. Analysing landmark works by Sílvio Ferraz, Harry Crowl and others allows us to draw further connections between the group, the Brazilianness of late twentieth-century compositional aesthetic, and the realities of contemporary classical music-making in Brazil.

This article examines the trust-producing mechanisms investors and financiers used in São Paulo, Brazil, to determine where to invest their money in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The coffee boom that began in the 1880s spurred bursts of new domestic business development that transformed São Paulo into Brazil's industrial leader. Using shareholder and director data from an array of business sectors, this article demonstrates that early development (1856–1905) of the institutions that provided business finance was accompanied by highly personal relationships between financier and entrepreneur. By the early twentieth century (1906–1920), rapid economic growth and business diversification rendered these personal connections inadequate and hence less important to business finance. Investors and directors concentrated their energies and their money, abandoning the practice of forming broad connections in general—and connections to a bank in particular—and turned to the stock market instead. By providing an alternative to personal forms of trust production, the rise of impersonal intermediation promoted the significantly broadened market for corporate business formation that underwrote São Paulo's economic transformation.
