Resumo: This essay brings close Jorge de Sena’s novel, Signs of fire, to Walter Benjamin’s IV Thesis from Theses on the Philosophy of History, particularly regarding the warning, made by both authors, about the approximation between totalitarian regimes in Europe. The portuguese writer’s exile in Brazil is related to an inflexion on literary genders, since it’s at the early 60’s of the XX century that Sena will firm his writing in prose. The intention, through the reading of the short story “Homenagem ao papagaio verde”, is to demonstrate the irony and ambivalence present in the bond between Jorge de Sena and the Brazilian nation that was also about to submit to the Military Dictatorship.

O exílio do autor português no Brasil é relacionado a uma inflexão genológica, já que é no início da década de 60 do século XX que Sena sedimentará a sua escrita em prosa. Pretende-se, através da leitura do conto “Homenagem ao papagaio verde”, demonstrar a ironia e ambivalência do vínculo de Jorge de Sena com a nação brasileira que também estava prestes a se submeter à Ditadura Militar.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2023-07-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/7493810.5902/1679849X74938Literatura e Autoritarismo; n. 5 (2010): Dossiê Walter Benjamin e a literatura brasileira1679-849X1679-849Xreponame:Literatura e Autoritarismoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/74938/52061Copyright (c) 2023 Literatura e Autoritarismoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSedlmayer, Sabrina 2023-07-07T01:48:05Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/74938Revistahttps://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:2023-07-07T01:48:05Literatura e Autoritarismo - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
