Resumo: | The beginning of the 21st century has shown an intensification of migratory flows around the world. In face of displacement processes, social actors are also confronted with new landscapes and, above all, with new symbolic practices that codify what we understand as landscape. The novel In der Fremde sprechen die Bäume arabisch (In Foreign Lands, Trees Speak Arabic, translated by Rachel Farmer) by Usama Al Shahmani, a writer of Iraqi origin, living in Switzerland and writing in German, problematizes this intersection, showing in its plot the contact of a refugee with the Swiss landscapes. This article intends to discuss how the protagonist of this novel interacts with landscapes, verifying the conceptions of his primary socialization and how these conceptions are transformed throughout the plot. With this in mind, the first part of the article presents a theoretical discussion of the concept of landscape, while the second part is dedicated to the analysis of landscape representations in the novel. It concludes that the protagonist undergoes a process of transformation of his identity construction, as he is open to the potential of meanings that emerge from the experience with the landscape. |

It concludes that the protagonist undergoes a process of transformation of his identity construction, as he is open to the potential of meanings that emerge from the experience with the landscape.O início do século XXI tem mostrado uma intensificação dos fluxos migratórios mundo afora. Com o processo de deslocamento, atores sociais também são confrontados com novas paisagens e, sobretudo, com novas práticas simbólicas que codificam aquilo que compreendemos como paisagem. O romance In der Fremde sprechen die Bäume arabisch (‘No estrangeiro as árvores falam árabe’, sem tradução para o português) do autor Usama Al Shahmani, escritor de origem iraquiana, radicado na Suíça e que escreve em língua alemã, problematiza essa intersecção, mostrando em seu enredo o contato de um refugiado com as paisagens suíças. Este artigo pretende discutir como o protagonista desse romance interage com paisagens, verificando as concepções de sua socialização primária e como essas concepções se transformam ao longo do enredo. Com isso em mente, a primeira parte do artigo apresenta uma discussão teórica do conceito de paisagem, enquanto a segunda se dedica à análise de paisagens representadas no romance. Conclui-se que o protagonista passa por um processo de transformação de sua construção identitária, ao se mostrar aberto para os potenciais de sentido que emergem da experiência com a paisagem.Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras2023-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/4756310.5433/1678-2054.2023vol43n2p39Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 43 No. 2 (2023): A paisagem e suas construções literárias; 39Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 43 Núm. 2 (2023): A paisagem e suas construções literárias; 39Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; v. 43 n. 2 (2023): A paisagem e suas construções literárias; 391678-2054reponame:Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/47563/49858Copyright (c) 2023 Dionei Mathiashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMathias, Dionei2024-01-08T14:18:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/47563Revistahttp://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/indexPUBhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/oaiterraroxa.uel@gmail.com1678-20541678-2054opendoar:2024-01-08T14:18:28Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false |
