Resumo: | Based on the concept of becoming-animal, elaborated by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (1997), in this work, we seek to develop an exercise of comparative criticism among contemporary novels A confissão da leoa (2012), by the mozambican Mia Couto, and O som do rugido da onça (2021), by the brazilian writer Micheliny Verunschk. In common, the two texts undertake the recovery of themes and procedures mobilized in the tale “Meu tio o Iauaretê” (2001 [1961]), by João Guimarães Rosa. Similar to the contagion experienced by the jaguar hunter of the Rosa’s narrative, who from jaguar killer began to the defender of these felines, becoming sibling with these animals, the two narratives under analysis represent a movement towards the feline subjectivities experienced by their characters. Historically, Western thinking has developed several ideological mechanisms to separate the Homo sapiens and other living animals. To this, the process of dehumanization of the colonized subjects is attached, one of the tools manipulated by the imperialist project. As a counterpoint to these perspectives, Mia Couto and Micheliny Verunschk incorporate, in their texts, discourses that enable opening to other perspectives about life. In novels, there is the tensioning of interspecific borders, once that, by fictional ways, the crossing of the boundaries between the human and the nonhuman is effective. For Mariamar and Iñe-e, protagonists of the novels, the encounter with the jaguar and lioness figures, great predators of the two continents that set the narratives, enables access to an animality silenced by oppression devices. |

Em comum, os dois textos empreendem a recuperação de temáticas e procedimentos mobilizados no conto “Meu tio o Iauaretê” (2001 [1961]), de João Guimarães Rosa. Semelhante ao contágio vivenciado pelo onceiro da narrativa roseana, que de matador de onças passa a defensor desses felinos,irmanando-se a esses animais, as duas narrativas em análise representam um movimento emdireção a subjetividades não humanas experienciadas por suas personagens. Historicamente, o pensamento ocidental desenvolveu diversos mecanismos ideológicos para efetuar a separação entre o Homo sapiens e os outros viventes animais. A isso, atrela-se o processo de desumanização dos sujeitos colonizados, uma das ferramentas manipuladas pelo projeto imperialista. Como contraponto a essas perspectivas, Mia Couto e Micheliny Verunschk incorporam, em seus textos, discursos que possibilitam a abertura para outras perspectivas sobre a vida. Nos romances, verifica-se o tensionamento das fronteiras interespecíficas, uma vez que, por vias ficcionais, se efetiva o cruzamento dos limites entre o humano e o não humano. Para Mariamar e Iñe-e, protagonistas dos romances, o encontro com as figuras da onça e da leoa, grandes predadores dos dois continentes que ambientam as narrativas, possibilita o acesso a uma animalidade silenciada pelos dispositivos de opressão.Universidade Federal Fluminense2023-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/56312Gragoatá; Vol. 28 No. 61 (2023): Literatura, natureza e compromisso ético: olhares ecocríticos; e56312Gragoatá; v. 28 n. 61 (2023): Literatura, natureza e compromisso ético: olhares ecocríticos; e563122358-41141413-9073reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/56312/34409Copyright (c) 2023 Gragoatáhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.ptinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCadó, Júlio César de AraújoWelter , Juliane Vargas 2023-11-14T19:37:04Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/56312Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2023-11-14T19:37:04Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
