Resumo: |
This thesis studies the works of Brazilian author Valêncio Xavier and North American author Jonathan Safran Foer, both of which, through narratives composed by newspaper articles, drawings, photographs, maps, flip books and by a peculiar textual disposition, transcend the traditional notion of romance mostly by incorporating other artistic manifestations, which allows them to be denominated as hybrid and interartistic narratives. Discussing these authors’ works consists on using alternative and current theories in order to analyze the intersection between word and image. Such contemporary and profane narratives, if they are considered through the concepts of Giorgio Agambem, subvert and illuminate the book as object and support, restoring the playful aspect of reading and the pleasure of the unexpected in each page. Hence, the aforementioned texts are analyzed as representatives of a narrative that is contemporary because it profanes themes and supports and, consequently, analyzed through questions related to visual narratives and interartistic poetics, to fictional games and intertextual collage and still, and through the reflection on the themes shared by them: the re-elaboration of memory as well as the joys and sorrows of childhood and old age. The narratives Minha mãe morrendo e o menino mentido, Meu sétimo dia: uma novella rébus, “Rremembranças de menina de rua morta nua”, “Maciste no inferno” and “Mistério mágico”, written by Valêncio Xavier and the novels Everything is illuminated and Extremely loud & incredibly close, the unclassifiable Tree of Codes and the short story “If the Aging Magician Should Begin to Believe”, by Jonathan Safran Foer are discussed in order to highlight their similarities in terms of formal composition strategies. Just as much as Valêncio Xavier and Jonathan Safran Foer profane themes and supports, the present thesis also aims to subvert the subjectile it deals with in a certain way, playing and interacting with the works and authors, since, as Roland Barthes once said, there’s no other way of dealing with authors and their works other than writing with them. |
