In secret diaries

Abstract

This work is about self-writing, in the work of the author Humberto de Campo, his secret diaries written in 1915, 1917, 1928 to 1934. Humberto de Campos was one of the most popular writers of his time, which is why he became if the most read in Brazil. The work was carried out through bibliographical research, where the main source are his own works, with the objective of identifying his own writing, in the works of Humberto de Campos. Thus, we sought to deepen the theme in question, through readings, analyzes and reflections on the production of different authors who discuss the topic. Authors who talk about self-writing were also consulted, such as: Klinger (2007), Nora (2006) and Foucault (199). Based on the theoretical foundations of self-writing, it is a literary modality that constitutes a first-person narrative, in which the narrator explicitly identifies himself as the author. An analysis of self-writing was carried out, and I was able to identify that Humberto de Campos, in self-writing, reported his life in various parts of his diaries. The selection and constitution of the corpus to be formed by the theorists, dealing with the writing of oneself in the work of author Humberto de Campos.
