SUMMARY:

This work starts from the assumption that the novel Galileia, by Ronaldo Correia Brito, prolongs the past in the present based on cultural residue (Williams) and the trail (Benjamin) coupled with memory. Remembering the past is characterized by what remains, which remains from one time to another, which may mean the presence of a society that lives the past in the light of cultural traces. We are interested, therefore, in analyzing the double movement that constitutes such a novel: one aimed at the search for a modern life with the idea that modernity is impregnated with chance and accumulation of renewed experiences; another linked to ways of life based on traditional experience, represented in the image of a decadent patriarchal family, in which the experience comes in the form of a trail in the literary text. Regarding the theoretical foundation, we will take the notion of cultural residue undertaken by Raymond Williams (1979), and of trail, defended by Walter Benjamin (1994) to support our analysis, in order to think about the way in which components of the regionalist tradition are incorporated to the novel, while updated. Such analytical categories, safeguarding their singularities, bring the relationship of present life to the historical past as a common basis for critical thinking. During the analysis it was possible to notice that the novelist invested, literarily, in an image of the current hinterland, free of stereotypes, since scenes intertwined with other speeches reappear in Galileia (2008) that make possible the resignification of the region, understood no longer as merely a space inscribed in nature, but from its historical and political character and outlined by cultural representations.
