O tempo da cidade - Experiência urbana, tempo e literatura brasileira:do sonho moderno ao fim das utopias
Palavras-chave This article discusses the question of changes in the image of time in thought after the break down of the teleological and utopian historical models, through an analysis of the representation of the city in Brazilian literature. Using the critical approach of Machado de Assis of the progress as an entry way to the theme, the article attempts to describe a panorama of the literary presentation of Rio de Janeiro at the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century.

In contrast to this view, a different analyses is posed, that of contemporary literature, where utopian ideas of modernity fall to earth and force us to relate to time in a different way. Key-words
