Os narradores e os narratários em O sol se põe em São Paulo, de Bernardo Carvalho

Abstract

This dissertation has as objective to carry out a study about narrators and readers, main characters in Th e sun sets in São Paulo, by Bernardo Carvalho (2007). The narrators are considered agents, integrated in the text responsible by narration of fictitious world, being due this, distinct from the empiric author and even from characters of this world, by the narrative amplitude, as the works of the theoretician Tzvetan Todorov (1979), Gérard Genette (1995), Yves Reuter (2002). It’s a novel that presents a common tendency to the contemporary narratives that makes of the modern man fragmentation its axis. In the developing of the two poles of narration, narrators and readers in movement take place in interpenetration, configuring the organization in narrative structures of the set of themes of the Japanese migration to Brazil. The multiplication of the stories, in the fiction plan, occurs in a multiplicity of spaces an times. The dialectic boarding of the novel in the social and historic aspects, and in the structural aspects, considers the tensions between the intern and the extern to the narrative. We consider some features in analysis of Sturm und Drang present in the contemporaneousness and according to this perspective, we intend to point to the precursor aspect that is found in the youth reflections of Sturm with emphasis in the man’s vision focused in Bernardo Carvalho’s novel. Considering the sociological and esthetic in the novel we seek a dialectic boarding in face to the characteristics of Storm and Drag and the novel The sun sets in São Paulo.
