Resumo: | This article discusses two short stories about the Old South, Thomas Nelson Page`s Marse Chan and Charles W. Chesnutt’s The Goophered Grapevine. To enrich this discussion, the literature written on slavery by African Americans shortly before the civil war is reviewed, namely the works of Harriet Ann Jacobs and Frederick Douglass. The point that African American author Chesnutt is better able to depict a more complex narrative about slavery and the old south than Page is then articulated. The relevance of the analysis of these two short stories stems from an intercultural posture that not only understands the importance of reading literature interculturally, but also recognizes that understanding other cultures and literatures helps us better understand ourselves and the cultures we are immersed in. |

El primer cuento es Marse Chan de Thomas Nelson Page y el otro es The Goophered Grapevine de Charles W. Chesnutt. Para enriquecer la discusión, primero revisamos la literatura escrita por negros estadounidenses sobre la esclavitud durante el periodo anterior a la guerra civil, en particular los trabajos de Harriet Ann Jacobs y Frederick Douglass, y proseguimos a articular que el escritor afrobrasileño es más capaz que Page de describir una narrativa compleja sobre la esclavitud en el sur de Estados Unidos. La relevancia de nuestro análisis de estos dos cuentos bajo un punto de vista brasileño está basada en una postura intercultural, pero que también reconoce que comprender otras culturas y literaturas nos ayuda a comprender mejor nosotros mismos y las culturas dentro de las cuales no encontramos.Este artigo propõe analisar dois contos sobre o Sul dos Estados Unidos pré-guerra civil. O primeiro conto é Marse Chan de Thomas Nelson Page e o outro é The Goophered Grapevine de Charles W. Chesnutt. Para enriquecer a discussão, nós primeiro revisamos a literatura escrita por negros americanos sobre a escravidão durante o período anterior à guerra civil, em particular os trabalhos de Harriet Ann Jacobs e Frederick Douglass, e prosseguimos a articular que o escritor afro-americano Chesnutt é mais capaz de descrever uma narrativa complexa sobre a escravidão no Sul dos Estados Unidos do que o Page. A relevância da nossa análise se baseia em uma postura intercultural que entende não apenas a importância de ler-se literatura interculturalmente, mas que também reconhece que entender outras culturas e literaturas nos ajuda a melhor compreender nós mesmos e as culturas dentro das quais estamos inseridos.
