This thesis analyses the modes of narration in the 1978 novel Casa de campo by Chilean writer José Donoso (1924-96), an overlooked aspect of its neobaroque aesthetic. It surveys some of the most important conceptualizations of the baroque as well as of the neobaroque, utilizing Severo Sarduy‟s theory of the neobaroque in order to examine the text‟s plurality of points of view and narrative modes. Not only does Donoso employ first- and third-person narrations in Casa de campo, the narrative voice seems, simultaneously, omniscient and limited, intrusive and objective, often unreliable, and frequently self-conscious. A wide range of narrative techniques appear in the novel, including free indirect discourse, stream of consciousness, interior monologue, and passages reminiscent of the so-called testimonio. This plurality of points of view and narrative modes constitute Donoso‟s revolt against contemporary literary conventions, and exemplify the diversity of the neobaroque. / Graduate

O capítulo seguinte destina-se observar a estrutura espacial interna da casa ficcional considerada tipicamente chilena, isto é, elenca as partes constitutivas deste ambiente doméstico, não somente descritas, mas também entranhadas no enredo do romance. No primeiro sub-capítulo, há uma breve análise do título que apresenta as bases teóricas do trabalho e os sub-capítulos seguintes, irão se detendo, em um ambiente da casa, cada um, com o objetivo de analisar questões políticas, históricas e sociais. Finalmente, observaremos os espaços externos à casa, trabalhados de forma descritiva ou através da narração. Os subcapítulos serão dedicados às cenas em que é possível localizar, de modo total ou parcial, panoramas da cidade, como por exemplo, a disputa de pipas ou as descrições do narrador da Alameda principal; os bairros e as ruas já existentes, suas características, construções e costumes. / To begin with, the first chapter of this dissertation aims to present the author, his social and historical context.

In the first subchapter, there is a short analysis of the title that presents the theoretical basis of this work. Each following subchapter will focus in the environments of the house, in order to understand some of the main political, historical and social issues implied within it.

The subchapters will be dedicated to the scenes where there is a possibility of a partial or a substantial panorama of the city. The kites contest, the narrators description of some of the main avenues, the neighborhoods and streets that already existed in those days. Their old shapes, buildings and habits, will be on the spot.
