Graciliano Ramos' prisons of memory

This study intends to show how the spiritual activity, when treating the memory as an instrument of complaint, in Graciliano Ramos’ Memórias do cárcere, faces the challenge of interacting with elements that can make it a prisoner of itself in the selection and application of images in the literary creation process; elements such as the carceral automatism, the egotism and the blind accession to the external reality.
