Resumo: As we reflect on the interaction between the world of art and the world of life, The handmaid’s tale (ATWOOD, 1986) summons us to reflect on the creation of a totalitarian society represented in the novel. To understand this representation, this paper is based on Bakhtin’s theory, especially the concepts of speaking person in the novel and authoritarian discourse, as well as the concept of fundamentalism according to Armstrong, Oz, Sloterdijk, and Harari. Thus, it sought to understand, in the novel, the role of the authoritarian discourse of fundamentalist religion in the creation and development of authoritarian regimes founded on religion. Our analysis showed that the natural or compulsory assimilation of the fundamentalist authoritarian discourse gave rise to violent conflicts and made the introduction of oppressive policiespossible. Therefore, the novel asks the reader to reflect on the advancement of authoritarian discourses based on fundamentalist religious discourse in current societies.

Para a compreensão dessa representação, este trabalho pautou-se na teoria do romance de Bakhtin, em especial nos conceitos de falante do romance e discurso autoritário, bem como no conceito de fundamentalismo, segundo Armstrong, Oz, Sloterdijk e Harari. Dessa forma, este trabalho buscou compreender, no romance, o papel do discurso autoritário da religião fundamentalista na criação e no desenvolvimento de regimes autoritários com base na religião. Foi possível perceber, por meio da análise, que a assimilação natural ou compulsória do discurso autoritário fundamentalista provocou confrontos violentos e possibilitou a entrada de políticas opressoras. O romance, portanto, chama o leitor a refletir sobre o avanço de discursos autoritários com base no discurso religioso fundamentalista em sociedades contemporâneas.UFRN2022-03-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/article/view/2623510.21680/1983-2435.2022v7n1ID26235Odisseia; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2022): Revista Odisseia; 1-21Revue Odisseia; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2022): Revista Odisseia; 1-21Revista Odisseia; v. 7 n. 1 (2022): Revista Odisseia; 1-211983-243510.21680/1983-2435.2022v7n1reponame:Revista odisséiainstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)instacron:UFRNporhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/article/view/26235/15509Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Odisseiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEstevam de Carvalho Pessoa, CarolineBandeira de Melo Júnior, Orison Marden2022-06-17T11:45:47Zoai:periodicos.ufrn.br:article/26235Revistahttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/odisseia/oai||revistaodisseia2016@gmail.com1983-24351983-2435opendoar:2022-06-17T11:45:47Revista odisséia - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)false
