Mil rosas roubadas, de Silviano Santiago: da escrita ao reconhecimento do sujeito burguês

Abstract

This analytical proposal is based on assumptions of the theory of the modern novel. The theme focuses on the position adopted by the hero-author of Mil rosas roubadas, by Silviano Santiago throughout his fictional construction. The objective is to understand how the construction of the problematic hero's face clarifies the relationship between the self and the other/Zeca in the aforementioned novel. In this course, we start from the hypothesis that when leaving himself and finding the other/Zeca, the narrator returns to himself in a position to reflect on his mask of a bourgeois subject. The methodology is anchored in the resource of research in the area of ​​Theory and Literary Criticism. Therefore, the study developed by Georg Lukács in Teoria do romance (2000). Is adopted as the main analytical input element in Silviano Santiago's text. It should be noted, however, that other authors will also be brought to the discussion at opportune moments. With a similar analytical approach, it is hoped to reach an understanding of some details that help to compose the face of the problematic hero inserted in Santiago's novel.
