Resumo: | The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between literature and human rights considering Antonio Candido's ideas in the text O direito à literatura (The right to literature) and the work of Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz: If this is a Man, published as a testimony of the experience in the concentration camps during the World War II. The analysis initially focuses on the presence of the literary text, specifically the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, in the mind of the Italian prisoner, in order to understand the humanizing power of literature, which is fundamental even in dark times. Not only the content of the speech, but also the form engendered by the poet are seen as significant in the humanization process set in motion by literature. The paper will also examine the issue of promotion of human rights by the literary work of Levi, that denounces the horrors to which thousands of men underwent, in an attempt to prevent events like this from recurring in future generations. |

A análise, em um primeiro momento, concentra-se na presença do texto literário, mais especificamente a Divina Comédia de Dante Alighieri, na recordação do prisioneiro italiano, de modo a compreender a força humanizadora da literatura que se impõe como fundamental ainda em tempos sombrios. Nesse sentido, não apenas o conteúdo do discurso, mas também a forma engendrada pelo poeta, são vistos como significativos no processo de humanização colocado em marcha pela literatura. A seguir é tratada a questão da promoção dos direitos humanos pela obra literária do próprio Levi, que denuncia os horrores aos quais milhares de homens foram submetidos, em uma tentativa de impedir que fatos como esse se repitam nas gerações futuras.ANPOLL2019-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/129710.18309/anp.v1i51.1297Revista da Anpoll; Vol. 1 No. 50 (2019): Estudos Literários; 92-100Revista da Anpoll; v. 1 n. 50 (2019): Estudos Literários; 92-1001982-78301414-7564reponame:Revista da ANPOLL (Online)instname:Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)instacron:ANPOLLporhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/1297/1057Copyright (c) 2019 Thaís Helena de Barros Neves Cavalcantiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCavalcanti, Thaís Helena de Barros Neves2019-12-30T18:30:38Zoai:ojs.revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br:article/1297Revistahttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/indexONGhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/oairevistadaanpoll@gmail.com1982-78301414-7564opendoar:2023-01-13T09:48:48.421410Revista da ANPOLL (Online) - Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)false |
