Contemporary images of space and time in Caio Fernando Abreu / Imagens Contemporaneas de Espaco e Tempo em Caio Fernando Abreu

Daniel Mattos de Araujo Lima 05 June 2007 (has links)
nÃo hà / A experiÃncia urbana de espaÃo e de tempo na literatura do escritor Caio Fernando Abreu à o objeto de estudo dessa dissertaÃÃo. As experiÃncias subjetivas gestadas na cultura de consumo em que vivemos deflagram modos de pensar, agir, sentir e amar articulados Ãs percepÃÃes de tempo e espaÃo do sujeito contemporÃneo. Nomadismo, errÃncia, solidÃo, narcisismo e impulsividade sÃo algumas das caracterÃsticas deste sujeito. O tempo à mais acelerado e o espaÃo mais compactado de modo que a velocidade forÃada a que somos submetidos nos leva Ãs psicopatologias contemporÃneas tÃpicas do ritmo de vida das grandes cidades. As formas de sociabilidade contemporÃneas ganham laÃos mais tÃnues, tendo em vista que a cultura hoje enfatiza valores como a descartabilidade, o presente imediato, a emergÃncia, o imediatismo das aÃÃes e a compulsÃo. A percepÃÃo, a atenÃÃo e a memÃria sÃo transformadas num contexto histÃrico-cultural e individual-coletivo, de tal maneira que a interpretaÃÃo da realidade e a consciÃncia que o sujeito tem do mundo sofre significativas transformaÃÃes. A literatura de Caio Fernando Abreu apresenta as diferentes faces dos processos de subjetivaÃÃo contemporÃneos em personagens, enredos e cenÃrios figurativos da experiÃncia urbana globalizada, lanÃando um olhar particularmente revelador de tais condiÃÃes no contexto brasileiro. Com efeito, seus contos, romances e seu epistolÃrio desvelam uma crÃtica social profunda à cultura contemporÃnea na tematizaÃÃo do espectro de situaÃÃes nefastas em que està mergulhado o indivÃduo no final do sÃculo XX. De modo mais incisivo, seus textos pensam as peculiaridades da experiÃncia do brasileiro contemporÃneo ligadas, entre outros fatores, à inserÃÃo perifÃrica do paÃs ao capitalismo, aos rumos da polÃtica nacional desde a ditadura militar e Ãs vivÃncias mais subjetivas em termos de valores, utopias, visÃes de vida e de arte para o escritor e para sua geraÃÃo. O resultado à uma literatura que guarda traÃos da âcontraculturaâ e do âpÃs-modernismoâ, tanto em termos temÃticos como nas formas de narrar. / This essay discusses contemporary urban experience as presented in the fiction of Brazilian Writer Caio Fernando Abreu (1948-1996) with special attention to his imagery of time and space. The experience of individuals living in a consumer society produces particular modes of thought, action, feeling and loving which are related to contemporary perceptions of time and space. Errantry, loneliness, narcissism and impulsivity are some of the psychological features of postmodern subjectivity. Accelerated time and compact space developed/emerged specially in the second half of twentieth century along with new technologies of communication and transport seem connected to the new psychopathologies observed in typical contemporary urban life. Todayâs social patterns gain fragile ties due to the reinforcement of values like dischargeability, emphasis on immediate present time and compulsion. Perception, attention and memory have changed according to substantial transformations in the historical and cultural context of late capitalism and these changes also occur on the levels of individual and collective conscience and interpretation of reality. Abreuâs literature present the various faces of contemporary processes of production of subjectivity in characters, plots and scenarios which represent global urban experience, with particular focus on Brazilian context and conditions of modernization. In fact his short-stories, novels and personal letters reveal deep social criticism to grievous situations in which individuals at the end of the century find themselves. Particularly his texts reflect on the singularities of Brazilian globalization experience which involve broad aspects broad aspects like the peripherical insertion of the nation in capitalism and some political paths that led to military dictatorship, as well as more intimate and subjective experiences figured in terms of values, dreams, fears, points of view of life and art shared by the writer and his generation. The result is a literature that reveals traits of countercultural and postmodernist tendencies in its themes and forms of narration.
