Resumo: | This essay investigates identity formulation on literary field set up by the self-recognition achieved through narrative practice. This problem is shaped from J. M. Coetzee’s work Boyhood (1997). The analysis of the literary object focuses on the constitution of the self projected on the discourse through the fictional figure. Therefore, I intend to point out how the discursive projection of the self as another one implies a course of recognition that underlies the construction of the character’s identity. In an hermeneutic-phenomenological approach, I resort to Paul Ricoeur and Phillip Lejeune to make up the theoretical framework necessary to accomplish the investigative proposal; as well as Walter Benjamin ideas about narration and experience. According to the theoretical discussion and the literary analysis, the narrative is understood as a way of organization and transmission of experience and a privileged space to self-recognition and, by extension, a constitutive medium of identity. |

Tal problema é formulado a partir da obra Boyhood, de J. M. Coetzee (1997). A analítica do objeto literário será focalizada a partir da constituição do eu projetado no discurso por meio da construção da figura ficcional. Assim, busca-se observar como a projeção discursiva do eu como um outro implica um percurso de reconhecimento que é a base da conformação da identidade do personagem. Em uma abordagem fenomenológico-hermenêutica, recorre-se a Paul Ricoeur e Phillip Lejeune a fim de elaborar a teorização necessária para dar cabo da proposta investigativa; bem como as ideias de Walter Benjamin sobre narração e experiência. Desse modo, apoiadas na discussão teórica articulada à análise literária, as reflexões indicam para o enquadramento da narrativa como forma de organização e transmissão da experiência e espaço privilegiado para o reconhecimento de si e, por extensão, meio constituinte da identidade.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2022-08-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/6114510.4025/actascilangcult.v44i2.61145Acta Scientiarum.
