Summary

Introduction

The attention in this article falls on an expressive niche of Moacyr Scliar’s literature – the chronicles. Expandindo a recorrente proposta de que o escritor fez uso de suas vivências (SZKLO, 1990; WALDMAN, 2003; ZILBERMAN, 2009) e de assuntos de interesse para compor suas obras – a cidade e o bairro onde cresceu, o judaísmo, a imigração, a atuação como médico e a formação em saúde pública – destaca-se que, como aspecto importante na segunda metade do século XX no país, as mídias, e entre elas o cinema, são alvo da atenção do escritor, aparecendo nas crônicas médicas como recurso composicional, no intertexto estabelecido com obras fílmicas (GOMES, 2009) e como referência intermidiática (RAJEWSKY, 2012).
