Resumo: | Although the Arab-origin communities’ immigration to Brazil dates back to 1884, it is possible to recognize the “ghostly apparition” of that figure in our literature, even in the colonial period. Later, as the national romantic project is strengthened, the figuration of the Arabic changes in our lyrics, following the tortuous path from its “exoticization” to its conformity. Until the moment when the descendants of Syrian and Lebanese immigrants entered the national literary scene, redefining and problematizing the univocal and distant image previously painted. To reflect on that complex process, we have selected some important moments in the dynamics of figuring the Arabic in Brazilian literature, paying special attention to the Arab immigrant’s representation in Salim Miguel’s narratives. That writer not only dialogues with the Arab subject symbolism patterns throughout the Brazilian literary tradition, as well as also challenges the very idea of a unique, homogenizing, and fracture-free memory around which national identity is organized. |

Posteriormente, na medida em que se consolida o projeto nacional romântico, a figuração[1] do árabe modifica-se em nossas letras, percorrendo o tortuoso caminho da “exotização” à sua assimilação. Até o momento em que ocorre a inserção no cenário literário nacional de descendentes de imigrantes sírios e libaneses, redefinindo e problematizando a imagem unívoca e distante pintada anteriormente. A fim de refletir acerca desse complexo processo, selecionamos alguns momentos importantes da dinâmica de figuração do árabe na literatura brasileira, conferindo especial atenção à representação do imigrante árabe nas narrativas de Salim Miguel. Esse escritor não apenas dialoga com as formas de figuração do sujeito árabe ao longo da tradição literária brasileira, como também problematiza a própria ideia de uma memória única, homogeneizadora e sem fraturas em torno da qual se organiza a identidade nacional.
