Situações do Sujeito Lírico: O Narrador Agônico de Lavoura Arcaica

Abstract

This research intends to analyze the lyrical narrator André, of Raduan Nassar’s Lavoura arcaica (1975) and we consider that the family conflict adds to the (self-diegetic) narrator’s tense and lyrical personality, and evidences conflicts involving rigorous family ideological demands and the rebel resistance of a young man. André does not accept to be in his father’s traditional lands, and, because of that, keeps himself, sometimes, in loud silence, hatching subjectivity, emotion and anguish. For the study, we took the lessons of Genette (1975) and Friedman (2002), so that we can understand the narrator of Lavoura arcaica, and Hall (2006) and Woodward (2007), who argue about identity in an essential way for the lyrical subject narrator analysis which is a feature of contemporary prose due to the fragmentation that the compositional structure of the genre presents, as well as the narrative categories, such as the narrator and/or characters themselves.
