Pluralidade de olhares críticos dando voz a silêncios de infância, romance de Graciliano Ramos

Abstract

This research aim to do some considerations about Graciliano Ramos novel, Infância, whose textual architecture use a mix of reality and fiction, thereby opening multiple possibilities of analysis. For that they seek as theoretical foundation critical glances that lead the reader to hear the voices of the text, which, paradoxically, become audible through the silence of the narrator-character. Contemporary critical theories constitute ancillary elements of this work. From the german theorists Hans Robert Jauss and Wolfgang Iser the aesthetics of reception is required for transit between the gaps left by the silence that inhabits the narrator-character. Because it is a memoirist fiction novel, refers to Marcel Proust's concepts as a way to presentification last in the fabric of a novel that awakens memories. The research start of reflections about culture, in general, from which are derived the regional particularities as noticeable in Infância that lead to consideration of the work as regionalist, based on parameters set by the critics. The narrative, with its memorials monologues, directs the theoretical support of the stream of consciousness, a concept championed by Robert Humphrey. Finally, the current theory of transculturation narrative is considered, proposed by the uruguayan critic Ángel Rama, giving relief to two of the three levels that compose the process of transit between cultures, namely the worldview and language.
