We propose with this dissertation an analysis of how ficcion of Veiga rebuilds the figuration of the processo f modernization of Brazil in the second half of the twntieth century. We aim at identifying and examing how the narrators of the short stories “A usina atrás do morro” (1959), “A estranha máquina extraviada” (1967) and the novel A hora dos ruminantes (1966) observe and conceive modernity: not as a material process, bu as na indiferente and misterious entity. We defend the hypothesis that aberrant, in Veiga, is a mimetic elemento, which representsthe way populations of villages and isolated cities in Brazil conceived modernity: sometimes as a sign of progress and elimination of misery, sometimes as the destruction of old habbits and local traditions. To reach these purposes, we propose na inicial discussion about the aberrant in Veiga, based on the studies of Tzvetan Todorov (1992) and Gregório Foganholi Dantas (2002), followed by a problematization of the relation between Veiga’s literature with regional questions, with the support of Antonio Candido (1989). The nearness of Veiga, through indirect and fictional means, and Brazilian’s reality of twentieth century is discussed through Antonio Candido (2000). The diferente figurations of modernity which appear along Brazilian history, and that resound in the voices of the selected narrators, are identified and discussed through the perspective of Caio Prado Júnior (2011), Raimundo Faoro (1977) and Lúcio Flávio Rodrigues Almeida (2006).
