The thesis City in fragments: Urban images in the chronicles of C.D.A for the Correio da Manhã proposes investigations on the written production of Carlos Drummond de Andrade elaborated for the column Images, that maintained, between the period of 1954 to 1968, in the newspaper Correio da Manhã and filed by the own author. The present study aims to analyze, mainly, chronicles, in view of the construction of a thought by images of urban daily life, carried out by the chronicler, who invested in the representation of banal and common themes to elaborate a writing that describes the city in fragments. In this way, we intend to work with a theoretical framework from a comparative perspective that allows us to read these images as metropolitan miniatures, as well as to discuss the profusion of the urban experience. In this context, the chronicles that reveal an imaginary of the city, reproduced in the series urban images, street images, pedestrian images and bus images, are the focus of this interpretative exhibition and circulate the texts of Drummond in a differentiated context of its production (circulation) in the newspaper. Thus, they update possible readings from the unfolding of the support and its materialities that allow to re-signify the critique about modern chronicle in Brazil, in special, of the production of C.D.A.
