Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to interpret, via Comparatism of solidarity (ABDALA JUNIOR, 2003), two works belonging to the literary macro system of Portuguese literature: Macunaíma (1928), by Brazilian writer Mário de Andrade, and Os flagelados do vento leste (1968), by Cape-Verdean Manuel Lopes. We will examine the oral marks in both works, highlighting their points of contact and rupture regarding the socio-cultural contexts in which they were produced. To justify the comparison, it is vital to point out that one of the postulates claimed by the cultural movement of “capeverdianism” – to which Manuel Lopes belonged – was one also claimed by Brazilian Modernism, that of valuing the national aesthetics, particularly its oral tradition.
