No. of bitstreams: 1 DISSERTA??O_SAMLA.pdf: 842743 bytes, checksum: ed530d173e5afdd37b1fde2d115ea526 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-01-18 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico - CNPq / The present study aims to analyse the use of memory, especially of family memory, in the novel Vermelho (2003), from the portuguese writer Mafalda Ivo Cruz. In it, the narrator protagonist, Tito, seeks to recover the genealogy of his family, resulting in a narrative marked by a form that largely reflects the discourse of memory, a theme dear to the author's work. Thus, the theoretical reference used here mainly consists of memory theorists such as Henri Bergson, Maurice Halbwachs, Paul Ricoeur, Aleida Assmann and J?el Candau. Besides that, we resorted to texts from narratology to support the reading of the novel, especially in what concerns the construction of the narrator. From the analysis performed, one can see that, contrary to what is expected of a memory narrative, that is, an organization of the past in a coherent and temporally linear whole, Tito transmits the family's past into a construction that reflects his disturbed mind. The chaos is also a reflection of the fact that the family history in evidence is full of gaps and silences that are often fictionally filled by its members, especially the manipulation elaborated by M?rio, the stepfather, the main responsible for the oral transmission of events to Tito. Ultimately, the objects of the family archive, in addition to being suspected of falsehood, may have been selected arbitrarily to serve the protagonist's purposes. Therefore, the narrator ends by, rather than reconstituting, founding a memory of the family, but the result is problematic, once Tito is not a reliable narrator. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o aproveitamento da mem?ria, especialmente da mem?ria familiar, no romance Vermelho (2003), da escritora portuguesa Mafalda Ivo Cruz. Nele, o protagonista narrador, Tito, procura recuperar a genealogia de sua fam?lia, do que resulta uma narrativa marcada por uma forma que reflete, em grande parte, o discurso da mem?ria, tema caro ? obra da autora. Sendo assim, o referencial te?rico utilizado consiste, principalmente, em te?ricos que tratam da mem?ria, tais como Henri Bergson, Maurice Halbwachs, Paul Ricoeur, Aleida Assmann e J?el Candau. Al?m disso, recorremos a textos da narratologia para embasar a leitura do romance, principalmente no que tange ? constru??o do narrador. Da an?lise realizada, pode-se perceber que, ao contr?rio do que se espera de uma narrativa de mem?ria, isto ?, uma organiza??o do passado em um todo coerente e temporalmente linear, Tito transmite o passado da fam?lia em uma constru??o que reflete sua mente perturbada. A caoticidade ? tamb?m reflexo do fato de a hist?ria familiar em jogo ser repleta de lacunas e de sil?ncios que s?o preenchidos n?o raro ficcionalmente pelos seus membros, destacando-se a manipula??o elaborada por M?rio, o padrasto, principal respons?vel pela transmiss?o oral dos eventos a Tito. Por fim, os objetos do arquivo familiar, al?m de serem suspeitos de falsidade, podem ter sido selecionados arbitrariamente para servir aos fins do protagonista. Assim, o narrador acaba por, mais que reconstituir, fundar uma mem?ria da fam?lia, mas o resultado ? problem?tico, uma vez que Tito n?o se mostra um narrador confi?vel.
