RESUMO
This dissertation focuses on the annotated edition of an unpublished book of short stories, Mucufos, by Valdomiro Silveira. The introduction situates this book in a historical context, explaining critical views on the collected works of the writer, involving social, human, esthetical and linguistic aspects. It describes the short story collection of Mucufos found in two files named Mucufos and Originaes manuscriptos de Papae (especially valuable) in the Valdomiro Silveira Archive (IEB/ USP), and explains the criteria adopted for the edition. The aim of this edition was to establish an authentic edition emanating from a comparison between a reproduction by CLSD (Carmen Lydia de Souza Dias), autographs, typewritten sheets and printed papers found in the files and in the Office of Public Records. Apart from this comparison, a critical transcript of the short stories was chosen, in an attempt to preserve archaisms and regionalisms in these stories. Two types of footnotes were established from the transcript. The first note, named CLSD Note, indicates newspapers of the time period when most of the short stories were published, with publication date and location, as well as location and date when the stories were written. The second note, named Edition Note, indicates the file where the story was found, explaining some words of regional character. In an analysis of the short stories, there was an attempt to put in doubt the tenor of realism, with contribution from the category of realism, according to Georg Lukács; esthetical features, description of the elements, and main topics and motives were also analyzed. In the latter, violence and its esthetical treatment are highlighted. The writers view of Brazil can be inferred from the analyses. Therefore, the current dissertation seeks to salvage part of the artistic legacy of a writer who was very concerned with humanizing an individual who had been marginalized in our literature until then, i.e. the hillbilly, and discuss the main esthetical and ideological issues that appear in the analyses of the 24 short stories of the edition.
