O narrador protagonista em Michel Laub : O diário da queda da maçã envenenada

Abstract

Based in assumptions of Literary Theory, Critical Theory and Psychoanalysis, we present the analysis of the narrator-protagonist in the novels Diary of the fall and The poisoned apple, of Michel Laub. We aimed to investigate the possibility of separating the I narrator and I narrated by autodiegética focus proposed by Gérard Genette's theory, based on the assumption that the time operates an ideological shift between a self and other. Along the way, in the first chapter, we present the plots of all Michel Laub novels published so far: Previous Song (2001) Far from the water (2004), The second time (2006), Cat Say Goodbye (2009) and The poisoned apple (2013). In the second chapter, we established an analytical target in Diary of the fall (2011). To understand that there is a continuing project in the works of Laub, in the third chapter, we focus Diary of the fall and The poisoned apple, based on the author's own information that both make up a trilogy that will be completed in the future. The starting point of our analysis was to Genette's theory. Given the presence of the stream of consciousness that reveals the mental process of narrators protagonists the Diary of fall and The poisoned apple, and its traumatic history, psychoanalytic studies of Sigmund Freud also are relevant. Moreover, authors such as Norman Friedman, Walter Benjamin, Márcio Seligmann-Silva, Jeanne Marie Gagnebin, Ronaldo Lima Lins and Giorgio Agamben have been invited to the discussion. This targeted analytics both novels resulted in the idea that I narrator, when it takes the enunciation (present), reveals features not realize the I narrated (past), the time factor is responsible for this change occurred between the two selves. Referring us Gagnebin (2006), we have the impression that the narrators-protagonists of Diary of the fall and The poisoned apple dip into their memories, trying to understand the past to act on this, writing about the memories and finally being ready to try to overcome a painful past and move on.
