As the title of the article that is now evident, the term "style" refers to the way in which the author outlines himself to give us all his creativity, all his ability to develop a special work with language - a procedure that is found, above all, through art literary. In this way, even though all that range of representatives, who are part of a certain period style, they bring with them a certain load of ideological traits, each, in its own way, is responsible for transmitting the message to generations and generations of readers.
Referring to the adjective "telegraphic", this seems to indicate clues to us that it is something defined by the elimination of certain elements, such as conjunctions, prepositions, articles, among others, which, even being suppressed, do not bring any negative consequences to the discourse, that is, even so, they allow a perfect understanding on the part of the interlocutor. We are therefore referring to elements of order morphological, however, we cannot say that this suppression is related,
specifically, to elements referring to such category, purely and simply, in view of the demarcation, also, because of the structure in which poetic or even prosaic texts are often constructed, as occurs with a of the creations left by the great representative of Brazilian Modernism, Oswald de Andrade, more precisely in Sentimental Memories of João Miramar.When we establish contact with the plot, we find that the artist uses a cinematographic language, telegraph, above all, in which the chapters, despite being constituted by beginning middle and end, do not establish a relationship of dependence among themselves, that is, unlike what happens in a novel, in which the ideas expressed in the plot are juxtaposed, tied together. To better illustrate, we chose two distinct chapters from the aforementioned work:
the thoughtful
"Disenchantment Garden
Duty and processions with canopies
and canons
Out there
It's a vague and unmysterious circus
Urban people beeping full nights
Mom called me and led me into the oratory with hands clasped together.
-The angel of the Lord announced to Mary that she was to be the mother of God.
The mound of fat oil on top of the glass wavered. A forgotten mannequin reddened.
- Lord with you, blessed are you among women, women don't have legs, they are like mother's dummy all the way down. For the legs, amen."
Indifference
Montmartre
And the cold mills
Stairs throw souls to bare-legged jazz
My eyes go searching for memories
how ties found
Brazilian nostalgia
Are flies in the soup of my itineraries
São Paulo with yellow trams
And romanticisms under night trees
The ports of my country are black bananas
under palm trees
The poets of my country are black
under banana trees
The banana trees of my country
are pale palms
Arms of exiled hugs that whistle
And starched skirts
the ring of riches
garden brutality
Acclimatization
rue de la paix
My eyes go searching for ties
Like found memories."
Analyzing them, we find a fragmentation of ideas, that is, the subjects are not similar, they do not establish any connection between them, considering that they are chapters of the same work. In addition, it is also worth mentioning, especially in the case of the second example, the inexistence of any evidence of punctuation marks, which can be compared to a stream of consciousness coming from the writer.
As for the case that illustrates the suppression of morphological elements, above said, we chose the following example, which in turn is a short story linked to contemporaneity, by Ricardo Ramos, whose title is demarcated as follows:
