Mutações do maravilhoso no conto de fadas contemporâneo: A princesinha medrosa, Odilon Moraes e Uma noite muito, muito estrelada, Jimmy Liao

Abstract

This research aims to reflect on the construction of wonder in the narratives of the contemporary fairy tale present in the books The little princess fearful, by the Brazilian Odilon Moraes and A very, very starry night, by the Taiwanese Jimmy Liao. This text aims to reflect on how the wonderful contributes to the mutation of the characters in the cited works. The research developed has a qualitative nature and is based on the bibliographic survey and analysis of these proposals to answer the research problem. The hypothesis indicates that in both narratives, The little princess fearful and A very, very starry night, in a structural examination related to the fairy tale, the characters receive the qualities of liberation in two realities, time and space, for their performance in the inner and the outside world, so that the characters fulfill the transforming function of the wonderful: losing fear and getting rid of loneliness. To answer the problem and reach the hypothesis we will start from the concepts of Valdimir Propp (2002), Andre Jolles (1976), Jacques Le Goff (2010), Nelly Novaes Coelho (2012) and Regina Michelli (2012) to define the wonderful, myth and structure of the story. Antonio Candido (2014), Fernando Segolim (2006) and Maria José Palo (2011) to understand the construction of the character in the story and in the relationship of the illustrated book; Walter Benjamin (2009), Georges Didi-Huberman (2017), Renato Cohen (2002), E. H. Gombrich (2013) and Roland Barthes (2015) in the basement of the research regarding the reproducibility of the printed plastic arts, the assembly and the strangeness in face of the wonderful in the contemporary
