A escrita em Marina Colasanti : entre a tradição e a modernidade

Abstract

This dissertation has the mainly objective investigating how writing in three tales written by Marina Colasanti develop in her literary work “Mais de 100 Histórias Maravilhosas” (More than 100 Wonderful Tales), analyzing how theses histories can pass by tradition and modernity literature. Therefore, we needed to remind concepts about short and wonderful tales and after all we analyzed the narratives elements deeply trying to understand our research. The methodology used was dialetical, thinking about contraditions and the dialetical relations created through traditional concepctions out and modernity. This research proposal is justified by our believes in investigate how tradition and modernity can live together in literature texts, so it can explain the literary transformation as well as divergences resulting. We resorted to several literary's currents analysis supporting us in the ideas of Candido (2006). The questions of the wonderful tale were analyzed using the writings of Propp (1984). We are also anchored by such theorists as Chevalier; Gheerbrant (2015) and Piglia (2004) for symbology studing and the secret stories present in the narratives. As for the modernity's subject and over-exposure of individuals, we have recourse to Debord (1997), Kehl (2004) and Lipovetsky (2016; 2005; 2004) and for the study of tradition, we turn to Jolles (1976). The comments of Bakhtin (1998), Bastos (2011), Konder (1986), Kothe (1986) and others were also fundamental for our analysis. The result of these analyzes are: Marina Colasanti utilizes elements like time, space, characters and narrator very close to the literary tradition keeping the structure of wonderful tale. Although she can use the history modernly. We can realized that Colasanti transits between tradition and modernity. In the same time the author relates about loneliness, love, power, and envy. The author uses the wonderful tale to make us reflect on the condition of man in modernity, thus showing the contradictions in which we live in the contemporary world. However, this mark of the present in her narratives does not appear explicitly, since it is necessary to understand the sub-understandings that her proposes in each text. In this way, it criticizes consumerism, the excesses of information to which we are exposed, the superficiality in which we live and discusses the over-exposure of individuals in social media.
