商品描述

​This work analyzes carnival in Rio de Janeiro through the irreverent view disclosed by the illustrated Brazilian magazines Fon-Fon! and Careta. For such purpose, texts and illustrations elaborated by great names in caricature and literature were used, as well as by journalists who remained anonymous due to the fact that their chronicles and articles did not carry their signatures. The way in which carnival was dealt with in said publications, was intimately related to the world view which intellectuals enjoyed, the Belle Epoque, and to the readers of these magazines: the urban middle classes and part of the elite. To understand both the view and the type of humoristic approach used, songs and the works of chronicle writers, memorialists and historians who worked on the theme were also investigated. At the end, what could be verified through the study of these publications was the importance that carnival enjoyed in the lives of those men of letters and brushes, and how relevant was the counterpart which they made possible not only to readers, but also to us, historians.

Through these publications, it is possible to redeem and reconstruct part of the history of carnival as well as understand the context of the period, political problems, stylishness, innovations and changes in the lives of Rio de Janeiro (carioca) dwellers. So much attention to the theme from the illustrated press denotes the importance of carnival to the financial health of newspaper companies, since the subject and its well-humored approach pleased readers, besides showing that not only did those writers and artists write about the festivities in an irreverent manner, but they also actively participated in them as carnival merrymakers, and therefore they were, themselves, artificers of that history.

這項研究透過巴西插畫雜誌 Fon-Fon! 和 Careta 所揭示的無畏視角，分析了里約熱內盧的嘉年華。為此，使用了由著名的漫畫家和文學家創作的文本和插圖，以及一些因為其專欄和文章未署名而保持匿名的記者的作品。這些出版物中對嘉年華的處理方式，與知識分子所享有的世界觀、優雅時代（Belle Epoque）以及這些雜誌的讀者：城市中產階級和部分精英，密切相關。為了理解這種視角和所使用的幽默方式，還調查了與此主題相關的歌曲以及專欄作家、紀實作家和歷史學家的作品。最終，透過對這些出版物的研究，可以驗證嘉年華在這些文人和藝術家的生活中所享有的重要性，以及他們所提供的對讀者和我們這些歷史學家的相關性。

透過這些出版物，有可能重建和回顧嘉年華的一部分歷史，並理解該時期的背景、政治問題、風格、創新以及里約熱內盧（carioca）居民生活中的變化。插畫媒體對這一主題的高度關注顯示了嘉年華對報紙公司的財務健康的重要性，因為這一主題及其幽默的處理方式取悅了讀者，並顯示出這些作家和藝術家不僅以無畏的方式撰寫有關慶典的內容，還作為嘉年華的參與者積極參與其中，因此他們本身就是那段歷史的創造者。
