Abstract
The article discusses aspects related to exile during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship of the 1960s and 1970s, based on the analysis of testimonies, letters and short stories by artists and writers such as Antonio Bivar (Verdes vales do fim do mundo, 1984); Caetano Veloso (Tropical Truth, 1997); and Caio Fernando Abreu (Estranhos Estrangeiros, 1996; Cartas, 2002; and Ovelhas negras, 2009, among others), about their experiences as exiles in London. With the support of several theoretical and critical texts, such as MACIEL (1987); VIÑAR (1992); ROLLEMBERG (1999); PIZARRO (2006); SZNAJDER, RONIGER (2009); RIDENTI (2014); GASPARI (2014), and seeking to interrelate history, psychoanalysis, politics and memorial literature, the intention is to demonstrate how the condition of self-exile or forced exile led Brazilian artists to experience intense processes of depersonalization, identity crises and depression, that interfered with their personal lives and artistic careers.
