As a consequence the narrator constitutes his hybrid identity. We start with an overview of the author and the novel, proceeding with a look at the main symbols that structure and the novel, proceeding with a look at the main symbols that structure the novel, examining the link between the historical and geographical narratives of displacement and the way cultural values are apprehended in their crossings, and finally reporting some ideas on how the narrator´s narratives of displacement resulted in a real "voyage of discovery" of his own self. |

Confrontos Culturais em Songdogs O objetivo deste estudo é demonstrar como as narrativas de deslocamento, no romance Songdogs, de Colum McCann, apresentam diversos elementos culturais em tensão. Como conseqüência, o narrador constitui sua identidade híbrida. Iniciamos com uma visão geral a respeito do autor, um irlandês-americano, e seu romance, prosseguindo com uma breve análise dos principais símbolos que estruturam o romance, examinando a ligação entre as narrativas de deslocamento histórico e geográfico e como os valores culturais são apreendidos neste entrecruzamento de narrativas. Finalmente, apresentamos algumas reflexões sobre como as narrativas de deslocamento, feitas pelo narrador, resultaram em uma verdadeira "viagem de descoberta", do seu próprio self. 2007-05-15 2022-03-18T16:20:10Z 2022-03-18T16:20:10Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/75 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61496 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/75/65 Copyright (c) 2007 Revista de Letras application/pdf Revista de Letras Revista de Letras Revista de Letras; Vol. 45 No. 2 (2005) Revista de Letras; v. 45 n. 2 (2005) 1981-7886 0101-3505 |
