Resumo: All it took was the arrival of a young body in the cell full of old men worn out by the World’s pain, for something to happen that morning. This is the case of the play Barrela (1958), by the Brazilian writer Plínio Marcos (1935-1999), whose dense narrative, full of intense dialogues and cleaved by multiple affects, allows us to think about a whole conception of humanity, subjectivity and institutionality in the Brazilian prison space during the 1960s and 1970s. The text analyzes the image of the violated young body, describing the intersections of class, gender, generation and sexuality that split a collective subjectivity based on pain and the reproduction of physical and psychological violence. However, it avoids incurring processes of individualization or psychologization of violence, but precisely seeking to think about the subjectivation technologies that Plínio Marcos’s literature allows to analyze in order to think about the affects, perceptions and tensions that his writing presents. From the dialogue with Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Maurice Blanchot, we seek to think about the relations between History and Literature, questioning the ways of giving reality to read through writing and social criticism operated in the midst of dark times. In this way, the article aims to contribute through an experimentation exercise to think about Brazilian history and the history of the young body from a literary source that, as a work of art, can always open other ways of thinking and feeling. Such a process allows us to think of literature as an ethical-political creation gesture about the world and life.

Assim ocorre na peça-teatral Barrela (1958), do escritor brasileiro Plínio Marcos (1935-1999), cuja narrativa densa e repleta de diálogos intensos e clivados por afetos múltiplos nos permite pensar toda uma concepção de humanidade, subjetividade e institucionalidade no espaço prisional brasileira das décadas de 1960 e 1970. O texto analisa a imagem do corpo jovem violado, descrevendo as intersecções de classe, gênero, geração e sexualidade que cindiram uma subjetividade coletiva alicerçada na dor e na reprodução da violência física e psicológica, mas sem incorrer em processos de individualização da violência, mas justamente buscando pensar as tecnologias de subjetivação que a literatura de Plínio Marcos permite analisar para pensar os afetos, percepções e tensões que sua escrita apresenta. A partir do diálogo com Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze e Maurice Blanchot busca-se pensar as relações entre a História e a Literatura, problematizando os modos de dar a ler a realidade através da escrita e da crítica social operada em meio a tempos sombrios. Deste modo, o artigo visa contribuir por meio de um exercício de experimentação para pensar sobre história do Brasil e história do corpo jovem a partir de uma fonte literária que por meio de seus perfectos e afectos como obra de arte sempre pode abrir outros modos de pensar e sentir. Tal processo nos permite pensar a literatura como um gesto de criação ético-político sobre o mundo e a vida.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-11-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/article/view/3689010.15448/2178-3748.2020.2.36890Oficina do Historiador; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2020); e36890Oficina do Historiador; Vol. 13 Núm. 2 (2020); e36890Oficina do Historiador; v. 13 n. 2 (2020); e368902178-374810.15448/2178-3748.2020.2reponame:Oficina do Historiadorinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/article/view/36890/26346Copyright (c) 2020 Oficina do Historiadorhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Júnior, José dos Santos Costa2020-12-21T18:21:59Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/36890Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriadorPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/oai||tatyana.maia@pucrs.br2178-37482178-3748opendoar:2020-12-21T18:21:59Oficina do Historiador - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
