ANÁLISE DA ESCRITURA A BICHARADA NOVIDADEIRA, CONTADA POR CHICO DOS BONECOS

Buscamos, nesse artigo, fazer uma leitura sistematizada das propostas teóricas brincantes colocadas pelo texto “A bicharada novidadeira”, história escrita no livro intitulado Muitos dedos: enredos, de autoria de Francisco Marques (Chico dos Bonecos), um educador e artista mineiro. Obedecendo as sugestões teóricas da história, deteremos nosso olhar sobre a história como jogo de que participam narrador e público (ou ouvinte, ou leitor), ou como resposta mítico-oracular ao sentir intrigante do mundo, ou ainda como enigma cuja resposta pertence aos iniciados na língua secreta, palavra poética. Procuramos ter sempre em vista, nessa análise, a complexa relação entre narrador e espectadores, mediada por suportes como o CD e o livro ou imediata na contação da história ao vivo.

ACROSS GENRES: JOHN DOS PASSOS’S BRAZIL ON THE MOVE

This article analyses how John Dos Passos’s Brazil on the Move (1963) exemplifies the conventions of travel writing, on the one hand, and how it departs from them, on the other, in its representation of a foreign country and of its culture. I intend to discuss the relevance of this combination of literary genres in this book, considering the writer’s background, his writing techniques and the ideology/ies underlying his work.

Oedipos hermeneut – the poetic-ontological dimension of the tragedy

This work intends to dialogue with questions of Oedipus, the mythical character, brought about by Sophocles tragic drama. In his reflective journey in search of his being, especially in the play Oedipus Rex, Oedipus investigates its own path to death. We propose reflect the death as a condition of possibility for the emergence of Oedipus as from his own ruins. Thus, our assumption is that the uncovering Oedipus' truth culminate at the end of the play, with the death of one of his personas, one of the selves of character. The issue of the interpretation therefore is crucial, and it leads to the title of this work. Therefore Oedipus is a hermeneut in the extent that he interprets the enigma that structures his own mythical history.
