PORNOGRAFIA E LITERATURA: UMA HISTÓRIA PELO BURACO DA FECHADURA

The presence of pornography in literature is considered as a category since the nineteenth century for its formal qualities, which makes possible analyses to comprehend the intentionality of the insertion of pornographic text and/or its functionality in the literary genres. We aim at understanding the pornographic discourse of O Riso and its relation with the history of literature by means of the pornography and politics. We analyzed columns that deal with pornographic and other newspapers that had a direct dialogue with O Rio Nu (1898-1916) such as O Riso (1911-1912), O Coio (1901-1902) and O Nabo (1900). The results of our analysis show that, by means of satire instruments and the different ways of appropriation of pornography, it is possible to see that the political criticism used pornography and, also, its inherent character that is the reader's excitement.
