No. of bitstreams: 1 Disserta??o completa.pdf: 952706 bytes, checksum: dbfb5dc1aeed460dc95bc5485e87bf85 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-08-01 / Funda??o de Amparo ? Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia - FAPEB / This document aims at comprehending the formation process of the national awareness as well as the Brazilian identity in Ana Miranda?s works, focusing on the novel Desmundo (1996). To do so, it is taken into account the relevance of the important post-modern concept of ?presenting of the past? in the literary and contemporary texts and the way this concept introduces issues related to the process of construction of the national identity in the novels of historiographic metafiction. Therefore, based upon a descriptive and analytical bibliographical methodology, it is presented theoretical and methodological discussions raised by scholars of post-modernity, formation of awareness and national identity such as: Hutcheon (1991), Baudrillard (1991; 2001), Jameson (2002; 2006), White (2001), Renan (1997), Anderson (2008), Santos (1997), Guibernau (1997), Bhabha (1997; 1998), Hall (2003), Bauman (2005), and so forth. In the analysis of Miranda?s works it is discussed the formation of the Brazilian nation and the national awareness since its genesis ? the colonial period - , which is, broadly speaking, based on transgression, prejudice and discrimination, in a taken-as ?rigorous? classes structure and power abuse. Furthermore, it is examined the parody presence of the foundational myth, as well as the origin of the nation and the Brazilian identity, emphasizing the importance of the individual acknowledgement. To sum up, it can be noticed that the protagonist of the novel can be taken as a standard of representation of this process of identity acknowledgement. Such process is, at the same time, a plural, multifaceted and decentralized one. / O principal objetivo nesta disserta??o ? a compreens?o do processo de forma??o da consci?ncia nacional e da identidade brasileira na prosa da escritora Ana Miranda, com ?nfase no romance Desmundo (1996). Para tanto, considera-se a relev?ncia do importante conceito p?s-moderno de ?presentifica??o do passado? nos textos liter?rios contempor?neos, e nos modos como esse conceito introduz quest?es relativas ao processo de constru??o da na??o e da identidade nacional nos romances de metafic??o historiogr?fica. Portanto, apoiando-se numa metodologia bibliogr?fica, de cunho descritivo-anal?tica, s?o apresentadas discuss?es te?rico-metodol?gicas de estudiosos dos temas da p?s-modernidade, da forma??o da consci?ncia e da identidade nacional, a saber: Hutcheon (1991), Baudrillard (1991; 2001), Jameson (2002; 2006), White (2001), Renan (1997), Anderson (2008), Santos (1997), Guibernau (1997), Bhabha (1997; 1998), Hall (2003), Bauman (2005), dentre outros. Na an?lise da prosa mirandina, discute-se a forma??o da na??o brasileira e da consci?ncia nacional a partir de sua g?nese ? o Brasil Col?nia ?, que ?, em s?ntese, baseada na transgress?o, no preconceito e na discrimina??o, numa pseudo ?rigorosa? estrutura de classes e no abuso de poder. Examina-se, ainda, a presen?a par?dica do mito fundacional e de origem da na??o e da identidade do povo brasileiro, em que se enfatiza a import?ncia do autoconhecimento do indiv?duo. Observa-se, em suma, que a protagonista do romance pode ser considerada um modelo de representa??o desse processo de autoconhecimento identit?rio. Tal processo ?, ao mesmo tempo, plural, multifacetado e descentralizado.
