Violência, silêncio e melancolia em Marçal Aquino: uma leitura de Eu receberia as piores notícias de seus lindos lábios

Abstract

The dissertation’s purpose is to expose how the elements as violence, silence and melancholy are represented in the novel Eu receberia as piores notícias dos seus lindos lábios, written by Marçal Aquino and published in 2005, considering the operators of the narrative – plot, character, space and ambiance; focus and time – as viewing platform. In our reading, we explore multiple layers of the book, analyzing the textual organization of the narrative discourse considering the specific techniques of literature; journalism; contemporary narrative fiction; violence, silence e melancholy. However, we believe that the study of narrative structure is the center of our work and other issues, developments related to reading. For each operator of the narrative, we add the most appropriate critical texts, that were selected from our research. However, a few stand out in two or more analyzes, such as the work done by critics Massaud Moises and Vitor Manuel de Aguiar e Silva. However, other analyzes were subsidized almost in a single theoretical assumption as in case of the time and point of view, when we focus on Gerard Genette and Norman Friedman, respectively. In the analysis of space, were added several theoretical authors and Osman Lins, Gaston Bachelard and Antonio Dimas, among others. In thematic developments, it were included the work of researchers and journalists Cremilda Medina and Cristiane Costa to approach the relationship between literature and journalism; researcher Regina Dalcastagnè to treat the characteristics of contemporaneity; researchers Ronaldo Lima Lins and Jaime Ginzburg for the readings of the representation of violence; Eni Orlandi Puccinelli, for the representation of silence, the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and the writer Moacyr Scliar for the representation of melancholy, among numerous other researchers, critics and writers. The choice of corpus took into account the period of publication of the work - after 2000 - so that, among the secondary objectives, we could studied the contemporary Brazilian narrative and thereby give our share of the growing critical fortune of Marcal Aquino and the novel Eu receberia as piores notícias de seus lindos lábios, as well as to the study of contemporary brazilian literature.
