“A confissão de Lúcio”, de Mário de Sá-Carneiro: análise literária e proposta de aplicação da obra para alunos do ensino médio

Abstract

Mário de Sá-Carneiro (1890) was one of the central figures of Portuguese Modernism, leaving significant contributions through his work, which not only portrays the society of his time but also reflects his own subjectivity. Despite his relevance, he is still seldom studied in academic papers and rarely mentioned in high school Literature classes in Brazil. As a result, students have only superficial contact with his literary production. In light of this scenario, this paper aims to analyze the novel A Confissão de Lúcio, exploring its aesthetic aspects and the historical context of its emergence, as well as examining the relationship between the work and the author's biography, which establishes a fusion between the two. Based on these analyses, we intend to develop a teaching plan for applying the novel in a 3rd-year high school class, grounded in Bakhtinian premises.
