- Abstract
(lang="eng")
- In evaluating the work of Paul B. Dixon, 'Retired dreams', the critic's innovative theses on the novel 'Dom Casmurro' stand out. The main argument is that Machado de Assis, from within the realist model, would have developed a writing conscious of the arbitrary and differential character of language, touching the heart of literacy by constructing the hero's speech as an epistemological instrument marked by rhetoric. This search for knowledge concerning the story lived with Capitu would not only express the condition of simulacrum of a literary work, denouncing the narrative instance, but would also expose the artificialism of socio-political and gender codes, allowing the contestation of patriarchal society through the means of an ambiguous narrative.
- Abstract
(lang="por")
- Resenhando-se a obra de Paul B. Dixon, ‘Retired dreams’, destacam-se as teses mais inovadoras desse crítico sobre o romance ‘Dom Casmurro’. A principal é que Machado de Assis, do interior do modelo realista, teria desenvolvido uma escritura consciente do caráter arbitrário e diferencial da linguagem, tocando o âmago da literariedade ao construir a fala do herói como instrumento epistemológico marcado pela retórica. Essa busca de conhecimento sobre a história vivida com Capitu não só expressaria a condição de simulacro da obra literária, denunciando a instância narrativa, mas exporia o artificialismo dos códigos sócio-políticos e de gênero, possibilitando a contestação da sociedade patriarcal pelo viés da narração ambígua.
