Using an exploratory methodology, this article investigates the narrative strategies engendered by the Unhappenings in the news coverage of the São Paulo press, from 2015 to 2020. Specifically, it maps, in the newspapers O Estado de S. Paulo and Folha de S. Paulo, the writing techniques and authorship activated by such a matrix in the coverage of unmarked facts. As a production code that goes against the grain of traditional newsmaking, guided by everyday criteria, sensitive investigation and authorial journalistic mediation, Unhappenings assumes its own news dynamics, beyond the positivist grammar that conforms professional routines. In this study, quantitative analysis is combined with an interpretative discussion of texts taken as references for reflection on the potentialities of the Unhappenings, in terms of creative signature, in the contemporary story.

From the late nineteenth century to the 1910s, with the rapid growth of the city of São Paulo, housing for workers was the theme of medical discussions and government proposals, as well as a recurring theme in newspapers that, in the name of the workers, denounced the precarious living conditions of many of the city's residents. This article discusses the workers' housing in the capital of São Paulo State in the contexts of the threat of the bubonic plague in 1899, the outbreak of smallpox in 1908 and the Spanish flu epidemic, favoring the considerations of the "independent", anarchistic or libertarian newspapers and, in the case of the flu epidemic of 1918, those of O Combate, a newspaper with a wide circulation that was whose motto was "independence, truth and justice". In these newspapers, science, translated into medical propositions, supported social and government criticism and spread among workers the ideal of a healthy home and the importance of hygienic practices in order to remain healthy during these epidemics.

The role of Portuguese in the Brazilian press was profuse during most of the nineteenth century, either as employees or as founders of newspapers and literary magazines. Gaspar da Silva (1855- 1910) was one of the names from Portugal that came to Brazil in 1876 - having participated actively in the political-literary discussions of the last decades of the 19th century. In addition to being a bookseller in the city of Campinas (SP), Da Silva was an active promoter of Lusitanian writings on the pages of several São Paulo newspapers and also spread works by Brazilian writers in the Portuguese press. With the Lisboner Leo Fonseca, Da Silva founded, in São Paulo, one of the newspapers considered more affectionate to São Paulo literature at that time -- O Diário Mercantil (1884-1890). Back to Portugal in 1890, the journalist would act in the other direction: he would be a promoter of Brazil in Portugal, either through articles published in the Lisboner press and through the publication of books about Brazil, such as A Revolução do Brasil (1894) and O Brasil actual (1895). Da Silva also produced works that reserved significant space for Brazilian writers, such as the book A pasta d'um jornalista: escritos políticos, literários e biográficos (1908) - accompanied by a "foreword" by Abel Botelho - in which he exposed small biographies of men related to the letters' universe in Brazil, such as Ferreira de Araújo, Assis Brasil, Fontoura Xavier and Furtado Coelho (actor of Portuguese origin). As for the direct work in the Lisboner press, in the late 1890s, he was the director of the Edição Quinzenal Illustrada (1897-1898), Portuguese extension of Jornal do Brasil (1891-2012). In spite of this abundant work in the Brazilian and Portuguese presses, Da Silva's name and his importance as a cultural mediator between Brazil and Portugal and vice versa were dimmed by the historical memory. For this article, we focused on (re) composing the beginning of Gaspar da Silva's trajectory in the Brazilian press, specifically in São Paulo, aiming at showing the cultural mediations he initiated in the literate universe of São Paulo.
