Arts of the Impossible: Violence, Trauma, and Erasure in the Global South

Gervasio, Nicole Marie January 2018 (has links)
This dissertation examines how contemporary Anglophone, Hispanophone, and Francophone literature from Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Asia (1984-present) reconfigures historical archives to negotiate the ethics of representing state violence in repressive societies. I identify new literary forms politically conscious writers are devising to capture and contest human rights violations. Using an interdisciplinary decolonial feminist framework, I closely read works by Cristina Peri Rossi, Michael Ondaatje, M. NourbeSe Philip, Edwidge Danticat, Boubacar Boris Diop, and Roberto Bolaño— a diverse set of postcolonial and post-dictatorship writers never before compared in comparative literature. I call these writers’ endeavors to reframe traumatic history “arts of the impossible,” which defy the alleged unrepresentability of collective trauma to secure justice and forestall impunity. I compare representations of wide-ranging atrocities including forced disappearance, slavery, genocide, and femicide— crimes exemplifying what I term “ontological erasure.” At stake in ontological erasure are not simply lost perspectives from multiply marginalized victims, like women and queer people of color, but the very possibility of citizenship and the will to dissent state recognition enables. To resist the threats posed by the authorization of these crimes to political freedom, these writers, I argue, reinvent evidentiary forms historically suppressed by authoritarian states, including court transcripts, testimonies, forensic reports, and national archives. These authors’ innovations push the boundaries of what counts as “evidence” in acts of state violence that are uniquely determined by erasure; they also imagine new methods for remembering past atrocities without compromising recognition for stigmatized minorities in the future.

Para a consecução de nossas hipóteses, por meio de uma apreciação que igualmente se vale da alegoria como método analítico, em primeiro lugar, o propósito é avaliar como os romances O louco do Cati, Desolação, Passos perdidos e Nuanças representam uma crítica sutil ou implícita, especialmente, contra a Era Vargas e contra o sistema econômico capitalista; e como essa característica tende a se tornar paulatinamente mais explícita, sobretudo na última narrativa. Em segundo lugar, nossa apreciação está dirigida ao estudo de Deuses econômicos, Sol subterrâneo e Prodígios, a fim de verificar de que modo esses romances ampliam e reforçam o questionamento à violência tirânica e ditatorial, acentuando as origens de suas mais remotas contradições sociais, políticas, econômicas e religiosas. Nesse sentido, num primeiro nível de interpretação dessa trilogia, constatamos uma indagação direta ao despotismo do imperador Nero; e, a partir de outro patamar significativo, averiguamos, em profundidade, que existe ao mesmo tempo um tácito julgamento que não está somente direcionado à Era Vargas, mas também endereçado à ditadura militar e ao imperialismo moderno. Além dessas questões, sublinhamos uma crítica (sempre subjacente aos romances) a respeito de certas questões político-religiosas que vigoravam no Rio Grande do Sul da época em que essas três composições foram publicadas, em especial ressignificando impasses, atinentes aos membros do Integralismo e representantes da Aliança Nacional Libertadora (ANL), bem como entre comunistas e capitalistas, em meio a outras especificidades. Nessas três obras, a alegoria interligada à metodologia apreciativa permite identificar a presença de um texto e de subtextos, à medida que detectamos um diálogo de cunho intertextual. Portanto, trata-se de reconhecer a existência, nas narrativas do autor, de uma passagem entre duas formas distintas de crítica. A primeira poderia ser considerada como "menos complexo"; e a segunda, como "muita mais expressiva". Sobretudo com o exame comparativo entre os romances O louco do Cati, Desolação, Passos perdidos e Nuanças e os livros Deuses econômicos, Sol subterrâneo e Prodígios, ainda procuramos sistematizar uma literatura dyoneliana, não apenas do cárcere, como também de suas "trágicas consequências". Assim, acreditamos que é possível assinalar como está organizada e rearticulada parte da poética de Dyonelio Machado através dos tempos, de modo que seja possível esquematizar, da mesma maneira, o percurso e as transformações pelas quais passaram certas fases de seu pensamento estético e artístico / Abstract: This work seeks to analyze the way the relation between history, politics and allegory is developed in the novel tetralogy made up of O louco do Cati [The Madman from Cati] (1942), Desolação [Desolation] (1944), Passos perdidos [The Lost Steps] (1946), and Nuanças [Nuances](1981); and mainly in the trilogy composed of Deuses econômicos [Economical Gods] (1966), Sol subterrâneo [Underground Sun] (1981) and Prodígios[Prodigies] (1980), by Dyonelio Machado (1895-1985). To test our hypotheses, we carried out an examination which also makes use of allegory as an analytical method. First, our purpose is to investigate how the novels O louco do Cati, Desolação, Passos perdidos and Nuanças represent a subtle or implicit criticism whose main targets are the Vargas Era and the capitalist economic system; and how such feature tends to gradually become more and more explicit, mainly in the last narrative. Second, our examination is focused on the study of Deuses econômicos, Sol subterrâneo and Prodígios, so as to check on how these novels expand and reinforce the questioning of dictatorial and tyrannical violence, and to point out its most remote social, political, economic and religious contradictions. In doing that, at the first level of interpretation of this trilogy, we see a direct inquiry into the despotism of Emperor Nero; and at another level, we notice a deeper lay of meaning, in which there is also a tacit judgment that is passed not only on the Vargas Era, but also on the military dictatorship and on modern imperialism. Besides those issues, we highlight a criticism - always underlying the novels - of some political-religious issues in Rio Grande do Sul which were current in that time when the three works were published. It especially imparts new meanings to stalemates between the members of the integralist movement and representatives of the National Liberation Alliance (ANL), as well as between communists and capitalists, among other things. In those three works, the allegory coupled with the appreciative inquiry method allows for identifying a text and subtexts, as we perceive a dialogue of intertextual nature. Therefore, studying the narratives of the author implies in recognizing the existence in them of a passage between two distinct forms of criticism. The first one may be considered as "less complex" while the second one can be seen as "much more expressive". We also seek to systematize the literature by Dyonelio Machado, not only the prison literature but also the literature on its "tragic consequences". That is done mainly through the comparative study between the tetralogy made up of the novels O louco do Cati, Desolação, Passos perdidos and Nuanças and the trilogy composed of Deuses econômicos, Sol subterrâneo and Prodígios. Thus, we believe it is possible to trace how part of Dyonelio Machado's poetics is organized and rearticulated throughout time, in a way that makes it also possible to outline the path and changes through which some phases of his aesthetic and artistic thinking passed / Doutorado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Doutor em Teoria e História Literária
