Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Letras. Departamento de Letras, Instituto de Ci?ncias Humanas e Sociais, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.Esta leitura de Confiss?es de Minas, primeira reuni?o de prosas de Carlos Drummond
de Andrade, centra-se em dois fatores: o primeiro ? a declara??o do pr?prio autor sobre
a inten??o de construir um livro in?til, um termo que caracteriza o coment?rio leve da
cr?nica e o segundo ? a organiza??o do livro em sess?es tem?ticas que nos permite
pens?-lo como um museu que organiza textos do passado escritos em momentos
distintos. A partir destas perspectivas, utilizamos os pressupostos como os de Antonio
Candido e Jo?o Adolfo Hansen presentes na Fortuna Cr?tica deste livro de Drummond a
fim de discutir as escritas da mem?ria drummondiana. Demais te?ricos como Benedict
Anderson e Hans-Georg Gadamer nos ajudam a fundamentar sobre as multifacetas do
museu assimil?veis ao nosso objeto de estudo, compreendido como arquivo do
modernismo brasileiro que re?ne aspectos desde o movimento de vanguarda dos anos
20 ao poeta engajado de Sentimento de Mundo.This reading of Confiss?es de Minas, which is held as the first collection of writings in
prose by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, focus mainly on two elements. The first is the
author?s statement regarding his willingness to write an useless book, an expression
featured by the light remark of the chronicle. The second element is the arrangement of
the book in thematic sessions, which allow us to see it as a museum that organizes texts
of the past written in different moments. In order to discuss Drummond?s writings, this
reading brings to light the Critical Fortune of the book, as well as its principles, some of
which were proposed by Ant?nio C?ndido and Jo?o Adolfo Hansen. We also base this
research on the works by Benedict Anderson and Hans-Georg Gadamer, so we could
bring to evidence the many sides of the museum, assimilable to our object of study,
which can be understood as an archive of the Brazilian Modernism. This archive refers
to aspects that vary from the avant-garde movement in the 20?s to the committed poet of
Sentimento do Mundo
