NARRADORES TRANSNACIONAIS NA FICÇÃO BRASILEIRA CONTEMPORÂNEA

Abstract

THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY HAS OCCUPIED A PLACE MORE AND MORE PRIVILEGED IN THE ACADEMIC DEBATE SINCE THE 1980’S. MOREOVER, IN THE LAST TWO DECADES, SOME BRAZILIAN WRITERS HAVE POINTED THIS ISSUE AS A CENTRAL ELEMENT IN THE COMPOSITION OF THEIR NARRATIVES. WE PROPOSE IN THIS PAPER TO EXAMINE HOW THE ISSUE OF IDENTITY PERFORMS A STRUCTURAL FUNCTION IN THE NOVELS BUDAPESTE (CHICO BUARQUE, 2003) AND O SOL SE PÕE EM SÃO PAULO (BERNARDO CARVALHO, 2007). IT IS NOT ONLY, THEREFORE, TO SEE HOW THE THEME OF IDENTITY APPEARS IN THESE WORKS, BUT TO INVESTIGATE - IN THE SCOPE OF THE AESTHETICS RESEARCH - HOW THE PARTICULAR STRUCTURE OF THE NOVELS IS CONSTRUCTED ON THE BASIS OF THE IDENTITY PROBLEMS FACED BY THEIR NARRATORS.
