Resumo: | Within this article, we analyse Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (TWAIN, 1982), considering the political and social issues that pervade such novel. Relying on the contributions of Terry Eagleton (1984), Serge Gruzinsky (2001), and Farid Ameur (2010), we discuss how slavery and the consciousness of white people are manifested in the narrative. The basis for such endeavour concern the fact that Huck’s and Jim’s adventures constitute, for us, a prolific source of reflections for those willing to think of good manners, beliefs, moral values, and slavery during the XIX century, in the United States. Twain’s (1982) narrator dexterously develops themes which, albeit polemic, are very relevant for our contemporaneity – be that in what regards issues of class and races, as well as regarding the United States North-South divisionism. |

LITERATURE AND HISTORY: HUCKLEBERRY FINN AND U.S.A. SLAVERYLITERATURA E HISTÓRIA: HUCKBLERRY FINN E A ESCRAVIDÃO NOS ESTADOS UNIDOSWithin this article, we analyse Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (TWAIN, 1982), considering the political and social issues that pervade such novel. Relying on the contributions of Terry Eagleton (1984), Serge Gruzinsky (2001), and Farid Ameur (2010), we discuss how slavery and the consciousness of white people are manifested in the narrative. The basis for such endeavour concern the fact that Huck’s and Jim’s adventures constitute, for us, a prolific source of reflections for those willing to think of good manners, beliefs, moral values, and slavery during the XIX century, in the United States. Twain’s (1982) narrator dexterously develops themes which, albeit polemic, are very relevant for our contemporaneity – be that in what regards issues of class and races, as well as regarding the United States North-South divisionism. No presente artigo, analisamos o romance As Aventuras de Huckleberry Finn (TWAIN, 1982), levando em conta as questões políticas e sociais que o permeiam. Com as contribuições teóricas de Terry Eagleton (1984), Serge Gruzinsky (2001) e Farid Ameur (2010), discutimos como a escravidão e a branquitude se manifestam na narrativa. A justificativa de nossa pesquisa, portanto, se deve ao fato de considerarmos as aventuras vividas pelos personagens Huck e Jim como uma fonte de reflexão rica para quem queira se debruçar sobre questões de costume, crenças, moralismos e escravidão do século XIX, nos Estados Unidos. O narrador de Twain (1982) desenvolve com destreza temas polêmicos, mas muito relevantes ainda na atualidade – seja naquilo que toca as relações entre classes e raças, bem como naquilo que concerne ao divisionismo norte-sul estadunidense.Universidade Federal do Norte do Tocantins2023-02-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufnt.edu.br/index.php/entreletras/article/view/1441910.20873/uft2179-3948.2022v13n3p100-110EntreLetras; v. 13 n. 3 (2022): Temas Livres; 100 - 1102179-3948reponame:EntreLetrasinstname:Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT)instacron:UFTporhttps://periodicos.ufnt.edu.br/index.php/entreletras/article/view/14419/20952Copyright (c) 2023 EntreLetrashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, DaviMendes, Ana Carolina de Sousa2023-02-01T19:35:15Zoai:ojs2.ufnt.acessoacademico.com.br:article/14419Revistahttps://sistemas.uft.edu.br/periodicos/index.php/entreletras/indexPUBhttps://sistemas.uft.edu.br/periodicos/index.php/entreletras/oaientreletrasuft@gmail.com || dirpesq@ufnt.edu.br2179-39482178-9479opendoar:2023-02-01T19:35:15EntreLetras - Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT)false |
