| description | Subjectivity in Caio Fernando Abreu’s fiction should not be apprehended in the light of the Cartesian Cogito because it expresses a subjective experience as well as specific subjectivation which do not refer to a personal self, rather, it relates to the way a given set of power relation produces the curvature. Being so, the Deleuzian concept of curve is a relevant tool to understand the fictional, subjective experience of the writer’s work. In his artistic production, the classic image of the universal subject is replaced for the thought-event idea, where the exterior part is inseparable from its interior one and the movement processed in the author’s short stories includes the interposition of the inside and the outside; therefore, such procedure can be understood as one which goes against the State apparatus. In order to understand the writer’s artistic production as a war machine, I intend to analyze some of his short stories where the characters are similar to those visionary ones as pointed by Deleuze and Guattari: they are aware of the intolerable within a situation and open up a new field of possibilities. |

A subjetividade que se figura ficcionalmente na obra de Caio Fernando Abreu não pode ser compreendida na forma de um Cogito cartesiano, pois ela expressa uma experiência subjetiva e modos de subjetivação específicos que não se referem a um sujeito pessoal, mas à maneira que uma determinada relação de forças produz a curvatura. Sendo assim, o conceito deleuziano de dobra é uma importante ferramenta para compreender a experiência subjetiva que se ficcionaliza na obra do escritor. Como na sua produção artística, a imagem clássica de sujeito universal é substituída pela de pensamento-acontecimento, no qual o exterior é inseparável do interior, o movimento que se processa em seus contos inclui a interpenetração do dentro e do fora, podendo por isso colocar-se contra o aparelho de Estado. É no intuito de compreender a produção artística do escritor como máquina de guerra que pretendo analisar alguns de seus contos, nos quais os personagens se aproximam dos visionários indicados por Deleuze e Guattari: percebem o intolerável em uma situação e abrem assim um novo campo de possíveis. 2012-07-26 2022-03-18T16:20:35Z 2022-03-18T16:20:35Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/5107 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61716 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/5107/4203 Copyright (c) 2012 Revista de Letras application/pdf Revista de Letras Revista de Letras Revista de Letras; Vol. 51 No. 1 (2011) Revista de Letras; v. 51 n. 1 (2011) 1981-7886 0101-3505 |
