Resumo: | In a cultural and social context the idea of boundary is an unfolding of the idea of Nation, both seen as discursive constructions therefore with symbolic implications. The boundary is built from the difference, it is molded close to the Otherness and needs it to be determined. The boundary, then, denounces the tensions between two spaces: the inside and outside, the Self and the Other. At the same time, it promotes imbrications between its binary pairs, resulting in a hybrid zone where contact occurs between the separated poles, space in which they are put face to face. Based on this idea of border, this article aims to discuss the symbolic boundaries observed in the novel The Brothers, by Milton Hatoum. The narrative questions the cultural and identity hybridism resulting from border areas, showing the confrontations and flows that are verified in the border space from the figure of the immigrant and the mestizo. As Homi Bhabha suggests, in this work the boundaries are conceived as bridges that act in a movement of “ambulatory articulation, ambivalent”. The borderline is, therefore, what one might call in-between, an interstice. |

A fronteira se constrói a partir da diferença, se molda rente à Alteridade e precisa dela para determinar-se. A fronteira, então, denuncia as tensões entre dois espaços: o dentro e o fora; o Eu e o Outro. Ao mesmo tempo, promove imbricações entre seus pares binários, o que resulta em uma zona híbrida onde ocorre o contato entre os polos separados, espaço em que são postos frente a frente. Partindo dessa ideia de fronteira, o presente artigo objetiva discutir as fronteiras simbólicas observadas no romance Dois Irmãos, de Milton Hatoum. A narrativa problematiza o hibridismo cultural e identitário resultante das zonas de fronteira, evidenciando os confrontos e os fluxos que se verificam no espaço fronteiriço a partir da figura do imigrante e do mestiço. Como sugere Homi Bhabha, neste trabalho as fronteiras são pensadas como pontes que atuam em um movimento de “articulação ambulante, ambivalente”. O fronteiriço é, portanto, o que se pode chamar de entre-lugar, um interstício.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2014-08-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/1665510.15448/1984-4301.2014.1.16655Letrônica; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2014): Psicolinguística & Escritas migrantes na literatura contemporânea; 475-489Letrônica; v. 7 n. 1 (2014): Psicolinguística & Escritas migrantes na literatura contemporânea; 475-4891984-430110.15448/1984-4301.2014.1reponame:letrônicainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/16655/11674Souza, Mariana Jantschinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-02-22T21:58:08Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/16655Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronicaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/oailetronica@pucrs.br||ivanetemileski@gmail.com1984-43011984-4301opendoar:2017-02-22T21:58:08letrônica - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |

In a cultural and social context the idea of boundary is an unfolding of the idea of Nation, both seen as discursive constructions therefore with symbolic implications. The boundary is built from the difference, it is molded close to the Otherness and needs it to be determined. The boundary, then, denounces the tensions between two spaces: the inside and outside, the Self and the Other. At the same time, it promotes imbrications between its binary pairs, resulting in a hybrid zone where contact occurs between the separated poles, space in which they are put face to face. Based on this idea of border, this article aims to discuss the symbolic boundaries observed in the novel The Brothers, by Milton Hatoum. The narrative questions the cultural and identity hybridism resulting from border areas, showing the confrontations and flows that are verified in the border space from the figure of the immigrant and the mestizo. As Homi Bhabha suggests, in this work the boundaries are conceived as bridges that act in a movement of “ambulatory articulation, ambivalent”.
