| description | Nadja, written by the French author Andre Breton, holds the position of having implemented the aesthetics and semantics proposals of the Surrealist Manifestos, especially the 1924’s, which is a kind of foundation document of the movement. The inspired Breton’s peroration, in the artistic plan, states itself against descriptive and stilted novels, which are based on the idea of illusion of representation, and, on the social plan, challenges the perception of reality as an suprasensible truth by the idea of work and progress, excluding the crazy person from the social enviroment and locking him up in a real Kafkaesque hell, materially and conceptually. In a kind of otherness, Nadja’s protagonist, a Nietszche reader, will be a flaneur, widely aware; it will be up to him to decide whether and how the free association, the childlike simplicity, and the coherency in the madness should be (re)considered. These ideas are the determinants of a new perception of the world to Breton, and even more loyal to the earth than the metanarratives of the West. As opposed to the utensil men, described by Sartre in Aminadab (1947) as those who give themselves up to a tedious/utilitarian life, Breton’s protagonist represents what can be classified as a counterpoint, through the moral of resistance, giving Surrealism the nonentropic job of Modernism as a kind of last breath. |

Uma leitura de Nadja, de André Breton Monte, Carlos Eduardo Nadja André Breton Surrealism High Modernism Jean-Paul Sartre André Breton Surrealismo Alto Modernismo Jean- Paul Sartre Nadja, written by the French author Andre Breton, holds the position of having implemented the aesthetics and semantics proposals of the Surrealist Manifestos, especially the 1924’s, which is a kind of foundation document of the movement. The inspired Breton’s peroration, in the artistic plan, states itself against descriptive and stilted novels, which are based on the idea of illusion of representation, and, on the social plan, challenges the perception of reality as an suprasensible truth by the idea of work and progress, excluding the crazy person from the social enviroment and locking him up in a real Kafkaesque hell, materially and conceptually.

These ideas are the determinants of a new perception of the world to Breton, and even more loyal to the earth than the metanarratives of the West. As opposed to the utensil men, described by Sartre in Aminadab (1947) as those who give themselves up to a tedious/utilitarian life, Breton’s protagonist represents what can be classified as a counterpoint, through the moral of resistance, giving Surrealism the nonentropic job of Modernism as a kind of last breath. Nadja (1928), do francês André Breton, guarda a condição de haver realizado, estética e semanticamente, as propostas advindas dos Manifestos Surrealistas, sobretudo ao de 1924, espécie de documento fundador do movimento. A inspirada peroração de Breton, no plano artístico, volta-se contra os romances descritivos e empolados, claudicados à ideia de ilusão da representação, enquanto, no plano social, contesta a percepção da realidade como uma verdade suprassensível, pelo viés do trabalho e ideia de progresso, excluindo o louco do seio social e trancafiando-o em verdadeiro inferno kafkiano, material e conceitualmente. Como uma espécie de alteridade, o protagonista de Nadja, leitor de Nietzsche, será um flanêur amplamente consciente; caberá a ele estabelecer a medida em que ideias como: livre associação, simplicidade infantil e a coerência na loucura, devam ser (re)consideradas, determinantes de uma nova percepção do mundo, para Breton, muito mais fiel à terra que as metanarrativas estruturais do Ocidente. Em oposição aos homens-utensílios, descritos por Sartre, em Aminadab (1947), como aqueles que se entregam à vida tediosa/utilitária, o protagonista de Breton exerce o que pode ser classificado como um verdadeiro contraponto, pela moral de resistência, dando ao Surrealismo o múnus neguentrópico do Modernismo, como uma espécie de suspiro derradeiro. 2017-05-25 2022-03-18T18:38:22Z 2022-03-18T18:38:22Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/lettres/article/view/9902 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63675 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/lettres/article/view/9902/6543 Copyright (c) 2017 Lettres Françaises application/pdf Lettres Françaises Lettres Françaises; n.17 (2), 2016 2526-2955 1414-025X |
