Resumo: | Through this analysis, in the light of Greimas semiotic theory, we demonstrate how the theme of the elderly excluded from social life appears in the narrative of Luiz Vilela. To do so, we highlight "A volta do campeão," short story in which the protagonist, a sick man of nearly sixty years, spends his days bored and uninterested about everything, until he finds a group of boys playing marbles that makes him relive the emotions lost in his childhood. Despite finding a new direction for his life, family pressures make the character give up new friends. Occurs then the resignation of Edmund, who renounces the positive values responsible for his transformation. The family home represents the space from which came oppression. Even "tired", home is the place to which the subject recognizes to go back and to stay, after all is the space delegated by society for a man of sixty. In the short story, norms and behaviors place the elderly on the margins of social relationships and the narrator's voice, once he sympathizes with the loneliness that the elderly are relegated, is dissonant on the status quo. |

Para tanto, destacamos “A volta do campeão”, conto em que o protagonista, um homem doente de quase sessenta anos, passa seus dias entediado e desinteressado de tudo, até encontrar um grupo de garotos jogando bilocas que o faz reviver emoções perdidas na infância. A despeito de encontrar um novo sentido para sua vida, as pressões da família fazem com que a personagem desista dos novos amigos. Ocorre então a resignação de Edmundo, que renuncia aos valores positivos responsáveis por sua transformação. A casa familiar figurativiza o espaço de onde emana a opressão. Mesmo “cansado”, casa é o lugar para o qual o sujeito reconhece voltar e permanecer, afinal é o espaço delegado pela sociedade para um homem de sessenta anos. No conto, normas e comportamentos situam a velhice à margem dos relacionamentos sociais e a voz do narrador, ao solidarizar-se com a solidão a que o idoso é relegado, é dissonante diante do status quo.Laboratório Editorial FCL-UNESP | Letraria2014-01-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/article/view/655710.21709/casa.v11i2.6557CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicada; v. 11 n. 2 (2013)1679-340410.21709/casa.v11i2reponame:CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicadainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/article/view/6557/483310.21709/casa.v11i2.6557.g4833Copyright (c) 2014 CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicadainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Souza, Eunice Prudenciano2014-01-23T01:10:15Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/6557Revistahttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/oaicasa@fclar.unesp.br1679-34041679-3404opendoar:2023-01-12T16:38:48.366672CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicada - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false |
