O objetivo dessa pesquisa é analisar de que forma um romance pós-moderno, As horas, do autor norte-americano Michael Cunningham (1952- ) se apropriou da obra moderna Mrs. Dalloway de Virginia Woolf. O presente trabalho propõe-se a discutir essa apropriação, evidenciando as relações paródicas entre os dois textos; a investigar a configuração do tempo na narrativa, verificando as possíveis relações entre história e ficção e a analisar a construção das personagens femininas, ex-cêntricas do romance, examinando como o discurso das figuras femininas é construído na referida obra de Cunningham. / The discussion between modernism and post-modernism has brought about several questions that we must answer in order to have an overview of both movements, once we are able to understand what the first has represented, we can better situate the second. Taking this into consideration, our aim is to analyze in which ways the contemporary The hours, written by the north-American author Michael Cunningham, appropriates the earlier Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf. Thus, the aim of this study is to discuss these questions, verifying the parodic between the two texts. Furthermore, our intention is to investigate another important discussion: the time, verifying the possibel relations between history and fiction. Lastly, our attention focuses on the construction of the ex-centric characters, examining how the discourse of these characters is built in Cunningham's novel.
