O devir das obras de arte : uma leitura adorniana do conto Meu tio o Iauaretê de Guimarães Rosa

Abstract

The present study aims to decipher the enigmas of the tale Meu tio o Iauaretê of João Guimarães Rosa under the aesthetic perspective of the philosopher Theodor Adorno. For this, the analysis will be supported by the work of Adorno - Aesthetic Theory in order to seek the elements that constitute the authentic art and that could be visualized in the work of Guimarães. The analysis was produced from the main idea that supports the adornian aesthetic for the constitution of a work of art - its freedom. Such freedom is in the becoming of the work and in the short story this element becomes evident from the narrator's language. Through a monologue / dialogue the reader experiences the work in its completeness, deciphers its riddles and widens the possibility of philosophical thinking. A thought that expands, like a luminous refraction, countless possible meanings to be appreciated by human thought.
