Resumo: | In the present article, we seek to problematize some findings that suggest the excessive use of the first person in contemporary literature as responsible for a possible crisis of fiction. We approach the intersections that the literary universe maintains with the memorialistic account, in order to highlight a kind of relationship that, with the traumatic experiences of the twentieth century, acquires a broader meaning, suggesting both a fundamental instance for the individuals who lived trauma, as well as for the cultures to which they belong. With the focus on the African experience, we bring the example of Dreams in a Time of War, the first volume of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s autobiographical trilogy, which affirms the literature as a space for reconstructing the fragmented self from an autobiographical but not narcissistic account. |

Abordamos interseções que o universo literário mantém com o relato memorialístico, de maneira a destacar um tipo de relação que, com as experiências traumáticas do século XX, adquire mais ampla significação, sugerindo tanto uma instância fundamental para os indivíduos que viveram traumas, quanto para as culturas às quais pertencem. Com o foco na experiência africana, trazemos o exemplo de Sonhos em tempo de guerra, primeiro volume da trilogia autobiográfica de Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, que afirma a literatura como espaço de reconstrução do sujeito fragmentado a partir do relato autobiográfico, mas não narcísico.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2020-05-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/4240410.5902/1679849X42404Literatura e Autoritarismo; n. 23 (2020): Dossiê "Em torno da memória e do testemunho"1679-849X1679-849Xreponame:Literatura e Autoritarismoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/42404/23837Copyright (c) 2020 Literatura e Autoritarismoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCândido, Marcelo França MarquesAmorim, Bernardo Nascimento de2023-05-24T03:09:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/42404Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/indexPUBhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/LA/oaigla@mail.ufsm.br||jlourique@pq.cnpq.br1679-849X1679-849Xopendoar:2023-05-24T03:09:16Literatura e Autoritarismo - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |

In the present article, we seek to problematize some findings that suggest the excessive use of the first person in contemporary literature as responsible for a possible crisis of fiction. We approach the intersections that the literary universe maintains with the memorialistic account, in order to highlight a kind of relationship that, with the traumatic experiences of the twentieth century, acquires a broader meaning, suggesting both a fundamental instance for the individuals who lived trauma, as well as for the cultures to which they belong. With the focus on the African experience, we bring the example of Dreams in a Time of War, the first volume of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s autobiographical trilogy, which affirms the literature as a space for reconstructing the fragmented self from an autobiographical but not narcissistic account. |
