THE CHRONICLE OF LIMA BARRETO AND THE TIME OF REPUBLICAN PROGRESS: A STYLISTICAL REVIEW OF GREAT NARRATIVES
This article discusses strategies with which the chronicle of Afonso Henriques de Lima Barreto (1881-1922) revised forms of official discourses on progress, among which the abolitionist novelty was inserted. From the analysis of the treatment that the writer makes of the historical events around the festivities of the “Golden Law”, our analysis identifies an elaborate expedient organized by the chronicler to communicate other temporalities. In the writer's commitment to those marginalized by official discourses, the achieved record could be read as an authentic literary intervention in the narratives that deal with the abolitionist events in the country.

Abstract:
This article discusses strategies with which the chronicle of Afonso Henriques de Lima Barreto (1881-1922) revised forms of official discourses on progress, among which the abolitionist novelty was inserted. From the analysis of the treatment that the writer makes of the historical events around the festivities of the “Golden Law”, our analysis identifies an elaborate expedient organized by the chronicler to communicate other temporalities. In the writer's commitment to those marginalized by official discourses, the achieved record could be read as an authentic literary intervention in the narratives that deal with the abolitionist events in the country.
