Resumo: The article proposes a hypothesis of reading the narrative “Evolução” (1884), by brazilian writer Machado de Assis (1839-1908), based on the Lacanian materialism. Leaning especially on the pseudoactivity category, as seen by philosopher Slavoj Žižek, the different levels between the latent and the manifest meanings of diegetic perspective are addressed regarding the links between narrator, focus and characters, aiming to investigate how the artistic procedures of the tale “Evolution” dovetails with historical-social processes during the Second Reign. It is believed that the pseudoactivity phenomenon is strategic in order to clarify aspects of the bourgeois class’s political cooptation by the bureaucratic class. To this end, studies on the difficulties of consolidating an identity of the industrial bourgeoisie during the period of the Second Reign by Faoro (1984) and Fernandes (2006) were taken into account. Therefore, it was intended to demonstrate that the narrative discourse forms a reflexive aesthetic scheme about the contradictions present in Brazilian social formation, especially Brazilian State’s authoritarian and unequal modernizing process.

Com base, especialmente, na categoria da pseudoatividade, conforme estudada pelo filósofo Slavoj Žižek, focaliza-se os vários níveis entre os sentidos latente e manifesto da perspectiva diegética, no que se refere aos vínculos entre narrador, focalização e personagens, com o objetivo de investigar como os procedimentos artísticos do conto “Evolução” se articulam com processos histórico-sociais do II Reinado. Acredita-se que o fenômeno da pseudoatividade será estratégico para esclarecer aspectos da cooptação política da classe burguesa pelo estamento-burocrático. Para tanto, levou-se em consideração os estudos de Faoro (1984) e de Fernandes (2006) acerca das dificuldades da consolidação de uma identidade da burguesia industrial durante o período do II Reinado. Por conseguinte, pretendeu-se demonstrar que o discurso narrativo forma um esquema estético reflexivo sobre as contradições presentes na formação social brasileira, especialmente o processo modernizador autoritário e desigual do Estado brasileiro.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-03-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/3678910.15448/1984-4301.2020.3.36789Letrônica; Vol. 13 No. 3 (2020): Representações do Brasil nas literaturas de língua portuguesa e nas literaturas de língua espanhola; e36789Letrônica; v. 13 n. 3 (2020): Representações do Brasil nas literaturas de língua portuguesa e nas literaturas de língua espanhola; e367891984-430110.15448/1984-4301.2020.3reponame:letrônicainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/36789/26297Copyright (c) 2020 Letrônicahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos da Silva, Rafael LucasCorrêa Silva, Marisa2020-10-30T20:44:53Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/36789Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronicaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/oailetronica@pucrs.br||ivanetemileski@gmail.com1984-43011984-4301opendoar:2020-10-30T20:44:53letrônica - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
