THE PERFORMATIC STRUCTURE AND THE RODRIGUEAN'S SHORT STORIES: A CULTURAL INTERWEAVING

Abstract

This article presents a part of a research developed in a Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program in Languages and Literature, at the State University of the West of Paraná, about the work of Nelson Rodrigues, with a focus on social and cultural resonances that can be deduced from the fictional work of this author, who, with a latent itinerary, produced more than two thousand texts, during five decades, in a transit between textual genres. In this part of the research, it was evidenced the creation and re-creation of texts framed by themes about love relationships, betrayal and death, with tragic and mythical aspects, with a view to the analysis of a performance writing. For the analysis, there are short stories of Rodrigueana's work A vida como ela é ... (from 1961, with a new publication in 2012), with evidence for the way like Nelson Rodrigues registers and reflects the daily life of his time and the human problems. The study of the structural and aesthetic elements, presents in the short stories, was based on a bibliographical, qualitative and methodological basis based on analyzes of the comparative literature, with the following objectives: to unravel the expressive effects of these fictional projects and to analyze how these compositions, when dialoguing with other texts, reflect this writing denominated as performatic. As a theoretical source, there contributions from Bakhtin (2002), Nora (1993), Maciel (2003), Cohen (2013), Glusberg (2013) and Zumthor (2014) among other researchers on performance studies.
