MILITARY DICTATORSHIP AND THE ARAGUAIA GUERRILLA: HYBRID DISCOURSE IN THE NOVEL OS PECADOS DA TRIBO BY JOSÉ J. VEIGA

O DISCURSO HÍBRIDO NO ROMANCE OS PECADOS DA TRIBO DE JOSÉ J. VEIGA

Abstract

This paper proposes an analysis of the discursive and formal composition that permeates the construction of meaning in the novel Os pecados da tribo by José J. Veiga. First, it addresses the possibility of gender transgression as an intrinsic process of contemporary literature, based on diversity and multiple exploration of textual resources for a production that follows the evolving world. The novel, a genre corresponding to the narrative under study, is presented based on the reflection on the hybrid nature of the novelistic discourse, a multilingual, multivocal and multistylistic genre. The paper analyzes the possible discursive and formal strategies used by the author, surrounded by the allegory of the military dictatorship in Brazil. Thus, from such directions, it is understood that due to the context of production of this novel, the discursive strategies act with the intention of deviating from censorship and promoting reflections through a narrator-character who reports the secrets and desires of a people marked by authoritarianism and uncertainty, integrating elements of the diary genre into his narrative. Thus, being a bibliographic research, this study is based on the theoretical assumptions of Mikhail Bakhtin (2011/2014), Tzvetan Todorov (1980/1988), Emil Staiger (1977), Umberto Eco (1986), among others.
