Abstract

The Brazilian modernist movement was built collectively on the succession of ideals, groups and periodicals that emerged throughout the 1920s, a path through which the iconic São Paulo event in 1922 unfolded and took roots in other parts of the country. As a means of agile dissemination and capable of accompanying the mutability of modernist ideas, the periodicals have become the spokesmen par excellence of the movement, being an important source for their study. Within this framework of modernist periodicals, there are a plurality of projects that answered the questions and challenges of their time and space in the constructive conjunction of the movement, and, therefore, the state of Minas Gerais was the scene of two important periodicals: A Revista (Belo Horizonte, 1925-1926) and Verde (Cataguases, 1927-1928;1929), that, together, drew the plural experiences of Minas Gerais modernism. These initiatives were systematically analyzed in order to clarify their particularities without losing sight of the broader dialogue they maintained with similar periodicals of their period, assignment that allowed to resize the performance of these publications from Minas Gerais within the modernist movement. Articulated in the modernist intellectual network, the groups were involved in the complex game of approximations, tensions and exchanges that marked the broad (re)construction project of national culture and literature: the Brazilian Modernism.
