Resumo: This article discusses the novel The Endless Body through an analysis of the fictional elements produced by the author to shed light on a moment obscured by official history: the military dictatorship. This is about the relationship between testimonial literature (SELIGMANN-SILVA, 2003; GAGNEBIN, 2006), memory (RICOEUR, 2007) and history (BENJAMIN, 1994), which can be noted in the author's work. A critical analysis of literature is adopted as a methodological strategy, highlighting the presence of laughter in many characters as a coercive form to replace anguish and suffering in the face of torture. The presented analysis endorses the understanding of literature as a vector in the production of an ethical memory about those oppressed by the regime of oppression.

Trata-se aqui da relação entre literatura de testemunho (SELIGMANN-SILVA, 2003; GAGNEBIN, 2006), memória (RICOEUR, 2007) e história (BENJAMIN, 1994), que pode ser notada na obra da autora. Adota-se como estratégia metodológica a análise crítica de literatura, destacando a presença do riso em muitas personagens como uma forma coercitiva para substituir a angústia (FREUD, 1926) e o sofrimento diante da tortura. Espera-se que a análise apresentada endosse a compreensão da literatura como um vetor na produção de uma memória ética sobre os oprimidos pelo regime de opressão.UFRGS (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul)2023-07-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/cadernosdoil/article/view/12785910.22456/2236-6385.127859Cadernos do IL; n. 64 (2022); 37-582236-6385reponame:Cadernos do IL (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/cadernosdoil/article/view/127859/89033Copyright (c) 2023 Cleidson Frisso Brazhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBraz, Cleidson Frisso2023-07-17T22:45:51Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/127859Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/cadernosdoil/PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/cadernosdoil/oaicadiletras@gmail.com||cadernosdoil@ufrgs.br||cadiletras@gmail.com|| cadernosdoil@ufrgs.br2236-63850104-1886opendoar:2023-07-17T22:45:51Cadernos do IL (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
