Abstract

This article, a result of the reflections initiated during the Master degree in Literature made at NELIC – Núcleo de Estudos Literários e Culturais at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina – UFSC, presents some of the many different ways of reading the symbolist magazine Rosa-Cruz, pub­lished in 1901 and 1904, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Almost unknown by the literary historiography in Brazil, we have until today a unique way of reading the magazine: as a vehicle of tribute to Cruz e Sousa. The objective of this article is to discuss other ways of reading the magazine, starting with an analysis of the title Rosa-Cruz and advancing by the different groups of authors published by the magazine.
