Resumo: | In novels, short stories, chronicles and travel books, José Saramago writes about the theme of travel on a recurring basis. From a philosophical perspective, one can immediately perceive the theme as a reflection on man and his journey in the world. The journey of life, of being, of “being-in-the-world” (Heidegger). In a double interpretation, the journey can also be read as a journey of the text itself – a journey of writing, a journey of reading, traveling with meanings in motion, wandering like the traveler himself. In The Tale of the Unknown Island (1998), chosen for this work, the double reading of the journey as a theme is also crossed by the reflection on subjectivity. In the short story, the idea of a subject given as a whole (which we could relate to the Cartesian subject) is put in check so that another model of subjectivity is presented, crossed by the encounter with the Other as an adventure, based on the loving relationship as presented in the text. Taking The Tale of the Unknown Island as an exemplary micro-narrative in Saramago's work, it is intended to show how the author poses the question of a subjectivity in process, which seeks its philosophical questioning outside of itself, in the other, and even in the writing. For this, mainly the ideas of Derrida and Blanchot will be important operators of text reading. |

Na perspectiva filosófica, pode-se logo perceber a temática como reflexão sobre o homem e sua viagem no mundo. A viagem da vida, do ser, do “ser-no-mundo” (Heidegger). Em dupla interpretação, a viagem poder ser lida ainda como percurso do próprio texto – viagem da escrita, viagem da leitura, percorrer de sentidos em movimento, errantes como o próprio viajante. Em “O conto da ilha desconhecida”, (1998) escolhido para esse trabalho, a dupla leitura da viagem como tema é atravessada ainda pela reflexão sobre a subjetividade. No conto, a ideia de um sujeito dado como pronto, inteiro (que poderíamos relacionar ao sujeito cartesiano) é colocada em xeque para que então se apresente um outro modelo de subjetividade atravessada pelo encontro com o outro como aventura, a partir da relação amorosa desenhada no texto. Tomando “O conto da ilha desconhecida” como micro-narrativa exemplar na obra de Saramago, pretende-se mostrar como o autor coloca a questão de uma subjetividade em processo, que busca seu questionamento filosófico fora de si, no outro, e ainda na escrita. Para isso, principalmente as ideias de Derrida e Blanchot serão importantes operadores de leitura do texto.Editora PUC Minas2022-09-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/cadernoscespuc/article/view/2851210.5752/P.2358-3231.2022n40p175-193Cadernos CESPUC de Pesquisa Série Ensaios; n. 40 (2022): Saramago: amor e engajamento; 175-1932358-3231reponame:Cadernos CESPUC de Pesquisainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/cadernoscespuc/article/view/28512/20057Copyright (c) 2022 Editora PUC Minashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBrandão, Vanessa Cardozo2022-11-18T17:01:41Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/28512Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/cadernoscespuc/indexhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/cadernoscespuc/oaicespuc@pucminas.br||cespuc@pucminas.br2358-32311516-4020opendoar:2022-11-18T17:01:41Cadernos CESPUC de Pesquisa - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false |
