A construção do discurso na ficção rosiana: oralidade, memória e cultura

Abstract

This work apprehend the construction of the fable discourse, having the orality forms as manifestation and writing material towards the culture and the memory in the texts Conversa de bois (Oxen Talk), Campo geral (General field) and As margens da alegria (On the margins of the joy) by João Guimarães Rosa. It demonstrates the identity marks of the infant character in a transforming situation, once the children journey through the route of the stories live by them relating to the theme. These texts are inserted in the national literature field because they show the fable subject of the spatial influence, of the temporal and cultural relativity that works as local character of deep poetic resonance. Such study comprehend that inserting resources of the orality in the literary text means preserving the disappearing world of being forgotten, and it articulates at once the ephemeral that is as trademark of the oralized poetic discourse, of the culture, of the memory. However, the construction of the fable discourse in these texts is established by poetic discursive resources in which is registered the handmade work of the writer, the orality and fragments of the reality that is ready to articulate in new constellations of meanings. These elements caught from several resources of the popular tradition adjust to mend the narrative cloth, translate the world of the orality, recover the archaic speaking in the discourse construction and reveal the practicing of the deep-rooted habits, the memory of oral transmissions of legends, facts and happenings from generation to generation. Furthermore, this research indicates that such texts get the contribution of a culture destined to destruction and incorporates commitments of procreation of fixed senses and definite identities.
