Resumo: | In 1974, Roland Barthes and an intellectual group linked to the French magazine Tel Quel visit China of Mao Zedong. During the three weeks he spent in the country, Barthes takes note of everything he sees and hears, as well as what he thinks and feels. These notes became public in 2009 with the publication in France of his Travels in China showing a bored writer, imprisoned by the political discourse that sterilizes the literary writing. Unlike his fellows, who stand for or against the Maoist regime in books and articles published when they return to France, Barthes writes a short and entirely neutral text, “So, what about China?”, a reflection on the pale colors he saw and the weak tea he tasted, disengaging from what for him was the real trap, the polarity that fixes oneself in a crystallized position for or against, forcing a political commitment in the name of a doxa. This article tells the story of that journey and analyzes the barthesian texts originated from it, wondering about the relationship between Barthes and the foreign country. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n43a745. |

Durante as três semanas que passa no país, Barthes anota tudo o que vê e escuta, bem como o que pensa e sente. Essas notas vêm a público em 2009, com a publicação francesa dos Cadernos da viagem à China, e mostram um escritor entediado, aprisionado pelo discurso político que esteriliza a escrita literária. Ao contrário de seus companheiros de viagem, que se posicionam a favor ou contra o regime maoísta em livros e artigos publicados quando do retorno à França, Barthes escreve um texto curto e absolutamente neutro: “E então, a China?”, uma reflexão sobre as cores pálidas que viu e o chá fraco que experimentou, desvencilhando-se do que para ele era a verdadeira armadilha, a polaridade que fixa em uma posição cristalizada a favor ou contra, forçando um engajamento político em nome de uma doxa. O presente artigo contará a história dessa viagem e analisará os textos barthesianos que dela se originaram, interrogando-se sobre a relação entre Barthes e o estrangeiro. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n43a745.Universidade Federal Fluminense2017-08-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/3349110.22409/gragoata.v22i43.33491Gragoatá; Vol. 22 No. 43 (2017): Founding Texts and their Literary and Cultural Productivity; 636-655Gragoatá; v. 22 n. 43 (2017): Textos Fundadores e sua Produtividade Literária e Cultural; 636-6552358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v22i43reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33491/19478Copyright (c) 2017 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBrandini, Laura2019-08-23T11:10:42Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33491Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2019-08-23T11:10:42Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
