description In this article, through an arch-philological approach, we propose to accentuate the becoming of Araripe Júnior's critical association between hyperesthesia and the effects of reading serials from his first approaches to the reception of naturalism by young writers, at the moment in which periodical publications grow exponentially and a reading public is constituted. We notice, in turn, a recurring association between a serialized literature considered disposable and a reader characterized as social waste. The survey of his unique conception of literary hyperesthesia is productive to draw new approaches to his outstanding theory of tropical style and Brazilian obtundation, projected as a survival in the literary canon and in the serials of his contemporaries. At the same time, we emphasize the prescriptive sense of Araripe Júnior's essays, aimed at young serial writers, to ward off the revulsive potential of naturalistic hyperesthetic literature on the mass public and to redirect its innervating lyricism towards the constitution of a psychology of tumult, which contributes to an aesthetic and cultural renewal. Also around hyperesthesia, the prescriptive intervention of his essays seeks to regulate the influence of a monstrous Zola, in his ability to show and make people feel the reality of precarious modern life. Finally, we notice his approach to literature as a toxin, in which a pharmacological key of modern Latin American literature resonates.

En este artículo, mediante un abordaje archifilológico, nos proponemos acentuar el devenir de la asociación crítica de Araripe Júnior entre la hiperestesia y los efectos de lectura de los folletines desde sus primeros abordajes de la recepción del naturalismo por parte de escritores jóvenes, en el momento en el que se multiplican exponencialmente las publicaciones periódicas y se constituye un público lector. Reparamos, a su vez, en una asociación recurrente entre una literatura folletinesca considerada descartable y un lector caracterizado como desecho social. El sondeo de su singular concepción de la hiperestesia literaria resulta productivo para trazar nuevos abordajes de su influyente teoría del estilo tropical y de la obnubilación brasílica, proyectada como supervivencia en el canon literario y en los folletines de sus contemporáneos. A su vez, hacemos hincapié en el sentido prescriptivo de los ensayos de Araripe Júnior, dirigidos a los jóvenes escritores de folletines, para conjurar el potencial revulsivo de la literatura hiperestésica naturalista sobre el público masivo y para reconducir su lirismo inervador hacia la constitución de una psicologia do tumulto, que contribuya a una renovación estética y cultural. También en torno a la hiperestesia, la intervención prescriptiva de sus ensayos procura regular la influencia de un Zola monstruoso, en su capacidad de mostrar y hacer sentir la realidad de la vida precaria moderna. Finalmente, observamos su abordaje de la literatura como toxina, en el que resuena una clave farmacológica de la literatura moderna latinoamericana.
