RESUMO

This work objective is to establish a relation, starting from the analysis of some of Lima Barreto`s works, personal writings, newspaper articles and chronicles, between those characters - created by him - which are, in some way, bound to madness, and the author`s questioning view on the new urban scene, then on development, considering two fundamental points: (1) the author`s utilitarian conception of literature, by him defended, able to contribute to the fighting against republican regime distortions, and (2) the moment of consolidation of psychiatry, with prominence to the author`s critics towards this science`s discriminatory character in early XXth Century.
