Resumo: The article presents an analysis of the novel Gabriela Clove and Cinnamon by Jorge Amado with a focus on the representation of the body based on the concepts of grotesque and carnivalesque put forward by Mikhail Bakhtin. The images and references to the body are discussed as they are projected in the narrative as well as the cultural critical dimension these images convey. Firstly, an analysis of the grotesque system of images is presented considering its deviant characteristic in relation to the esthetic model of bodies as known in Western tradition. Secondly, in the Amadian text, the representation of the body of the character Gabriela are taken as representative of this carnavalized universe ewhich defies laws and contentions well established in the so called official culture.

A partir dos conceitos de grotesco e de carnavalização, formulados por Mikhail Bakhtin, são abordadas as imagens e referências corporais projetadas na narrativa e a dimensão crítica cultural que essas imagens veiculam. Inicialmente, procede-se a uma apreciação do sistema grotesco de imagens, considerando o seu caráter desviante em relação ao modelo estético legitimado para os corpos na tradição ocidental. Em seguida, no exame do texto amadiano, as figurações do corpo da personagem Gabriela são tomadas como representativas desse universo carnavalizado, que desafia leis e contenções firmadas pela chamada cultura oficial.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2011-12-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/10202Letras de Hoje; Vol. 46 No. 4 (2011): PESQUISAS EM DIÁLOGO: Literatura e Cultura na Bahia e no Rio Grande do Sul; 23-30Letras de Hoje; Vol. 46 Núm. 4 (2011): PESQUISAS EM DIÁLOGO: Literatura e Cultura na Bahia e no Rio Grande do Sul; 23-30Letras de Hoje; v. 46 n. 4 (2011): PESQUISAS EM DIÁLOGO: Literatura e Cultura na Bahia e no Rio Grande do Sul; 23-301984-77260101-3335reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/10202/7181Oliveira, Sayonara Amaral deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-08-01T19:12:58Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/10202Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2013-08-01T19:12:58Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
