Resumo: In this article I intend to discuss the issue of exile in On Canaan's Side (2011), weaving considerations about the diasporic subject developed by Silviano Santiago (1978), Homi Bhabha (1995) and Edward Said (2003), from the novel, that is an autobiography of a fictional character, whose personal history is intertwined with traumatic episodes of the history of Ireland and the United States, a country in which the protagonist has been in exile since the 1920s. In my view, the historiographic practice named microhistory (Ginzburg, 2006) resembles the kind of history Sebastian Barry chooses to tell, as well as the writing of the history as a discourse about the absent (Certeau, 2011), used allegorically by the author in the novel, and, therefore, I place them at the center of this discussion.

O romance é uma autobiografia de uma personagem de ficção, cuja história pessoal se entrelaça a episódios traumáticos da história da Irlanda e dos Estados Unidos, país em que a protagonista vive exilada desde a década de 1920. A meu ver, a prática historiográfica nomeada micro-história (Ginzburg; 2006) assemelha-se ao tipo de história que Sebastian Barry escolhe contar, bem como a escrita da história como um discurso sobre o ausente (Certeau; 2011), usada alegoricamente pelo autor no romance.UFSC2021-01-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/7427310.5007/2175-8026.2021.e74273Ilha 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:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/74273/45290Copyright (c) 2020 Elisa Lima Abrantes, elisa lima abranteshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAbrantes, Elisa Lima2021-01-28T02:23:10Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/74273Revistahttp://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
