Resumo: | This article aims to carry out a reading of the novel Ensaio sobre a cegueira (1995), by José Saramago, approaching the process of genological mixture that permeates the entire work and that composes the list of characteristics attributed to postmodern novels. The genological mixture questions the fixed function of literary genres, reviewing the comfort of the fictional pact established between the reader and the work of fiction. Despite not being a new artifice in literature, in Ensaio sobre a cegueira we have a deliberate process of mixing genres that goes back to the first works of José Saramago, such as the novel Manual de Pintura e Caligrafia (1977). To carry out the research, we used Lyotard’s theoretical studies (2011) to discuss postmodernity as a new socio-political-cultural moment. Subsequently, we narrowed the debate based on the works of Hutcheon (1991) and Arnaut (2002), presented in dialogue with Luiz Costa Lima (2002), Aguiar e Silva (1993), and Angélica Soares (2007) for the elaboration of the concept of gender textual content, specifically, the literary genre and how they merge in Saramago work. It appears that these characteristics, although discussed separately, contribute to the fragmentation of the narrative and to its reading as a postmodernist work. |

A mescla genológica questiona a função fixa dos gêneros literários, revisando o conforto do pacto ficcional estabelecido entre o leitor e a obra de ficção. Apesar de não ser um artifício novo na literatura, no Ensaio sobre a Cegueira temos um processo deliberado de mistura de gêneros que remonta às primeiras obras de José Saramago, a exemplo do romance Manual de Pintura e Caligrafia (1977). Para realizar a pesquisa, são utilizados os estudos teóricos de Lyotard (2011) para discutir a pós-modernidade como um novo momento sociopolítico cultural. Posteriormente, estreitando o debate, são utilizados os trabalhos de Hutcheon (1991) e Arnaut (2002), apresentados em diálogo com Luiz Costa Lima (2002), Aguiar e Silva (1993), e Angélica Soares (2007) para a elaboração do conceito de gênero textual, especificamente, o gênero literário e como eles se fundem na obra saramaguiana. Verifica-se que essas características, embora abordadas separadamente, concorrem para a fragmentação da narrativa e para sua leitura como uma obra pós-modernista.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2022-08-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/navegacoes/article/view/4304010.15448/1983-4276.2022.1.43040Navegações; Vol. 15 No. 1 (2022): Single Volume; e43040Navegações; v. 15 n. 1 (2022): Volume Único; e430401983-42761982-852710.15448/1983-4276.2022.1reponame:Navegações (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/navegacoes/article/view/43040/27605Copyright (c) 2022 Navegaçõeshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVeloso, Jeymeson de Paula2022-11-21T13:28:46Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/43040Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/navegacoesPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/navegacoes/oai||revistanavegacoes@pucrs.br1983-42761982-8527opendoar:2022-11-21T13:28:46Navegações (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |
