Resumo: | This text deals with Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s memoir Ainda estou aqui, regarding what allows us to think that questions about the writer’s position, about the use of archives, about life as a living matter of the fiction, although placed, generally, as a certain conformation of literature to the dictates of the present, may, on the contrary, emphasize ways in which the literary, in the constitution of its place, does not exempt itself from pointing the limits of other discourses, in a kind of altercation against what was already said. The documentary setting of Paiva’s book, in which newspaper articles, documents from judicial processes, testimonies and even photography are displayed, causes the story to be decomposed, exposing the violence with which it is constructed. Without self-pity, the author exposes two mournings: one that began with the torture and death of his father, the politician and federal deputy Rubens Paiva, by the Brazilian military dictatorship, and the one that he experiences at the time he writes, when he accompanies the development of Alzheimer’s disease in his mother, Eunice Paiva. He traces the profile of the female protagonist, who, in the flashes of lucidity, repeats: “I am still here,” pointing out how the endless mourning for the father and the step by step mourning for the mother are narratives that tell a lot about the present state of things. This reading is based, mainly, on the reflections of Didi-Huberman, Jacques Rancière and Jacques Derrida on politics, on the act of taking a stand and on democracy. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2018n45a1079. |

A montagem documental do livro de Paiva, na qual são dispostos artigos de jornais, peças processuais, depoimentos, e, mesmo, fotografia, faz com que a história seja decomposta, expondo a violência com que se constrói. Sem autocomiseração, o autor expõe dois lutos: aquele que teve início com a tortura e morte de seu pai, o deputado Rubens Paiva, pela ditadura militar brasileira e o que vivencia no momento em que escreve, quando acompanha o desenvolvimento do Alzheimer em sua mãe, Eunice Paiva. Ele traça o perfil da protagonista, que, nos lampejos de lucidez, repete: “Ainda estou aqui”, apontando como o luto sem fim pelo pai e o luto por etapas da mãe são narrativas que dizem muito sobre o estado de coisas do presente. Esta leitura baseia-se, sobretudo, em reflexões de Didi-Huberman, Jacques Rancière e Jacques Derrida acerca do político, de tomadas de posição e de democracia. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2018n45a1079.Universidade Federal Fluminense2018-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/3357010.22409/gragoata.v23i45.33570Gragoatá; Vol. 23 No. 45 (2018): Literature and Democracy; 172-189Gragoatá; v. 23 n. 45 (2018): Literatura e Democracia; 172-1892358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v23i45reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33570/19557Copyright (c) 2018 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMagalhães Santos Guidio, Milena Cláudia2019-08-23T11:12:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33570Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2019-08-23T11:12:46Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
