On Roda Viva, journalist Vera Magalhães welcomes writer and journalist Ruy Castro. Controversial and provocative, he will discuss, among other topics, the Semana de Arte Moderna, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary and which, according to the journalist, was not as revolutionary as people believe and only happened thanks to the idea of a Rio native, the painter Di Cavalcanti. In interviews and in his columns in Folha de S.Paulo, Ruy Castro has defended the opinion that the members of the movement not only quickly forgot about the criticisms they made of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, but also sought a place among academics. Among them are Guilherme de Almeida, Menotti Del Picchina and Manuel Bandeira. In turn, Oswald de Andrade, the Academy's fiercest critic, did not take long to enter his book A Estrela do Absinto for the entity's award.
