Marvelous Realism is a continuous source of debate in the world of research. Restricted to latino-american literature for ones, open to all literatures for others, this style suffers from a lack of unanimity. This is the reason why I have chosen to begin my thesis with a panoramic view of this style and identify its founders. Subsequently, I will try to establish the distinctions between Magic and Marvelous Realism through the thesis of Charles Scheel and Ook Chung. / Those precisions made, I shall analyse the presence of Marvelous Realism in Ferron's Contes with the stylistic and/or structural traits of Mary-Ellen Ross, Charles Scheel, Cecilia Ponte and Irlemar Chiampi among others. / The second part of my thesis is composed of short stories that will enlightened, by the events, or by the narration, certain aspects of Marvelous Realism.

This thesis is concerned with the "Americanity" of Quebec literature and the existence of a cultural formation specific to the New World, based on a context of renewal, distancing and rupture with respect to European influence. The "real maravilloso" is perceived as an inherent American mode of expression, and its presence is examined in the work of Yves Theriault and Alejo Carpentier. An analysis of the short stories, Contes pour un homme seul (1944) by Theriault and "Histoire de lunes" (1933) by Carpentier, and of the novels Agaguk (1958) and Le royaume de ce monde (1949), allows us to compare the evolution from primitivism to the "real maravilloso americano", revealed in the novel through the "figures of the Other" and the status of the character, characterized by duality (contrast between the primitive forces and civilized world), its quest, its integration with nature, and the importance of sacred ritual.

A intenção é buscar nos debates entre os principais expoentes da chamada nova narrativa hispano-americana reflexões sobre a identidade do continente. Essa literatura iniciada nos anos de 1950 e continuada nas décadas seguintes é responsável por fomentar uma ideia de unidade latino-americana, criando um pastiche sobre aquilo que seria a América. Como salienta grande parte dos estudiosos do tema, a narrativa desse período, de maneira consciente, tentou realizar a busca de um centro do espaço americano e começou propensa a dar uma versão típica da nossa realidade: a América como espaço do maravilhoso. Divergindo dessa representação, na década de 1990 tem início o movimento McOndo, criado pelos escritores chilenos Alberto Fuguet e Sergio Gómez, para definir uma geração de novos escritores latino-americanos cuja principal característica era rechaçar o aspecto mágico que passou a ser o ?selo? dos autores do Real Maravilhoso. Analisar os limites e as implicações políticas desses discursos, assim como as formas através das quais os intelectuais da década de 1960 e 1990 representaram a América Latina, é o principal objetivo do trabalho / Abstract: This dissertation explores the limits of the Real Maravilhoso as a concept and an esthetic-political speech of Latin America representation. The purpose of it is looking for reflections about the continent identity through discussions among the main exponents of the new Spanish American narrative. This literature that was introduced in the 1950s and has been proceeded in the following decades is responsible for promoting a concept of Latin-America unity, creating a common sense of what would be America. As emphasized by many literary critics and historians, the narrative of this period, in a conscious way, tried to achieve the search of a center of an American space and began tending to give a typical version of our reality: America as a place of wonder. Diverging from this representation, in the 1990s the movement McOndo has begun, created by chilean writers Alberto Fuguet and Sergio Gómez, to define a generation of new Latin American writers whose main feature was to reject the magical aspect that became the "seal" of the Real Maravilhoso's authors. Analyze the limits and political implications of these speeches, as well as the intellectuals of the 1960s and 1990s represented Latin American, is the main objective of this study / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História
