Tempo, memória e ditadura militar: vozes da geração pós-AI-5 em O fantasma de Luís Buñuel

Abstract

In this work, we analyze aspects of time, memory and historical-social context during and after military dictatorship in the text Luis Buñuel’s ghost, by Maria José Silveira. The novel deals with violence suffered by diverse subjects during Military Dictatorship in Brazil, as well as with its consequences. The research tries to understand how traumatic marks derived from actions from the civil-military dictatorship are represented in the collectivity presented in the text (post Number 5 Institutional Act generation) and to study the way in which the novel social-historical context is inserted as an element in the meaningful unit of the narrative aesthetic-literary composition. In this aspect, this research is based on the ideas of Georg Lukács (2000) in which concerns the modern novel appearance; and of Bakhtin (2010a; 2010b) and Candido (2006a; 2006b; 2011 ;), in the analysis of society external elements that are part of the novel composition. Besides, we seek to highlight the internal factors of fiction composition, such as author, narrator‟s position, time and space as meaningful elements in the novel construction. For the hypothesis foundation on those topics it is fundamental to deal with the postulations of Bakhtin, Adorno (2003) and Friedman (2002), whose works guide an investigation of such elements in the fictional construction. In which concerns representation, it is possible to identify in the text a double movement: the individual memories are built contrasting the collective ones .In such a sense, reflections of Maurice Halbwachs (1990), Izquierdo (2002), Pollak (1992) and Ricoeur (2007) are also used for thee discussion.
