Resumo: | La disparition by Georges Perec, is a detective novel with plenty to be revealed – from the vanishing of the protagonist, Anton Voyl, to the disappearance of vowel E, not to be found in the book. Such violence against language is trickery against the algorithms of the system, duped within its own combinatory rules. Likewise, a vanished protagonist jeopardizes the narrative in the expression level, by creating an absence that paradoxically says something by not saying anything – a performative crime committed by literature. Voyl’s disappearance is a black hole – or a white gap – which gulfs everything into the unknown, in a novel structured by the idea of absence. This suggests that any semiotic possibility, no matter how instable it is, lies in a gap, a silence, a difference in the so-called language continuum. Thus, we herein analyze how the semiotic notion of absence can empower reflection on the writing process as a crime in La disparition. |

Thus, we herein analyze how the semiotic notion of absence can empower reflection on the writing process as a crime in La disparition. La disparition, de Georges Perec, é um romance policial em que muito há para ser desvendado – do sumiço do protagonista, Anton Voyl, ao sumiço da vogal E, que não aparece no livro. Essa violência contra a língua é uma trapaça contra os algoritmos do sistema, logrado no interior das próprias regras de combinatória. Da mesma forma, um protagonista desaparecido vitima a narrativa no plano da expressão, criando uma ausência que se diz, paradoxalmente, não dizendo – crime performativo cometido pela literatura. O sumiço de Voyl é um buraco negro – ou lacuna em branco – que tudo traga para o desconhecido, em um romance que se estrutura a partir da ideia de falta. Isso sugere que toda possibilidade semiótica, ainda que sempre lábil, reside em um hiato, um silêncio, uma diferença no suposto continuum da língua. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo analisa como a noção semiológica de ausência pode, em negativo, potencializar reflexões sobre a própria escrita como crime e falta em La disparition.

description |
La disparition by Georges Perec, is a detective novel with plenty to be revealed – from the vanishing of the protagonist, Anton Voyl, to the disappearance of vowel E, not to be found in the book. Such violence against language is trickery against the algorithms of the system, duped within its own combinatory rules. Likewise, a vanished protagonist jeopardizes the narrative in the expression level, by creating an absence that paradoxically says something by not saying anything – a performative crime committed by literature. Voyl’s disappearance is a black hole – or a white gap – which gulfs everything into the unknown, in a novel structured by the idea of absence. This suggests that any semiotic possibility, no matter how instable it is, lies in a gap, a silence, a difference in the so-called language continuum. Thus, we herein analyze how the semiotic notion of absence can empower reflection on the writing process as a crime in La disparition. |
