Resumo: In one of several interviews in which he discusses his dissatisfaction with the philosophical horizon of his student days, dominated by Marxism, phenomenology and existentialism, Foucault makes the following statement: "For me, the break came first from Waiting for Godot, by Beckett, a breathtaking performance." My aim in this text is to lay the groundwork for understanding how it is possible for a work of literature to have such an effect - that is, to force us to think otherwise. Is it really possible for works of literature to change the people who read them? Or, to give this question a slightly different focus, are people able to change themselves through their literary readings?

É realmente possível que trabalhos de literatura mudem as pessoas que os leem? Ou, para dar a essa questão um foco ligeiramente diferente, as pessoas são capazes de mudarem a si mesmas através de suas leituras literárias?Universidade Estadual de Londrina2013-03-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDiscourse analysisAnálise de discursoapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/1209710.5433/1984-3356.2012v5n10p875Antíteses; Vol. 5, n. 10, jul./dez. 2012 - Dossiê: Educação Histórica, Teoria da História e Historiografia; 875-896Antíteses; Vol. 5, n. 10, jul./dez. 2012 - Dossiê: Educação Histórica, Teoria da História e Historiografia; 875-8961984-3356reponame:Antítesesinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/12097/12142Copyright (c) 2012 Antíteseshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessO’Leary, TimothyOhara, João Rodolfo Munhoz2022-11-03T14:50:57Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/12097Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antitesesPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/oaiantiteses@uel.br||1984-33561984-3356opendoar:2022-11-03T14:50:57Antíteses - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
