Ficção, história e ideologia nas reedições críticas de Visconde de Taunay

Abstract

This research aims to analyze some reprints of works of Visconde de Taunay arising during the transition years between the XX and XXI centuries, in order to provide the reader with both the researcher and a critical reading of these reissues, as presenting another version of the literary-historical period. Based on our corpus reprint of the story "Ierecê a Guaná", 2000, organized by Sergio Medeiros, we also propose the analysis of two other reissues: the Memórias, of 2005, also organized by Medeiros, and of Inocência, 2006, directed by Hildebrando Campestrini and edited by the Institute of History and Geography of Mato Grosso do Sul. Based on the analysis of part of the critical fortune of Visconde de Taunay produced in the last century, and making comparisons with the manifestations present in critical reissues mentioned, we found a critical confrontation. Therefore, we present the basis of the course the historical material about the author, produced by renowned Brazilian critics of the twentieth century, and theoretical formulations consistent with the period in which new editions are included. That is, these reissues have separate proposal by the critics who devoted more than a century, the romantic writer in Brazil: them, the fiction is reinterpreted as a manifestation of direct, unmediated experience of the cultural and political writer and is misappropriated as a symbolic and timeless foundation which brings as a result of the fact the fiction being transformed into an ideology.
