A repetição obsessiva de Ballard de muitas  imagensatesta uma problemática de representação do evento traumático e, em última análise, elas  representam um trabalho complexo e rico de fabulação que escapa às categorizações de ficção e autobiografia.UFSC2021-01-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/7274010.5007/2175-8026.2021.e72740Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 74 No. 1 (2021): LiteratureIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 74 n. 1 (2021): Literatura2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/72740/45320Copyright (c) 2020 Pedro Groppohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGroppo, Pedro2021-01-28T02:23:10Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/72740Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2021-01-28T02:23:10Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
