CULTURE AND REPRESENTATION IN CONTEMPORARY BRAZILIAN FICTION

Résumé

The poetic image, thanks to this new reality that it represents, allows the reader to see differently, to see other things that the word hides, and in this difference, the image imposes a wider recognition and representation of the world, demanding an availability and an opening that are ultimately shared by the poet and his/her reader. In this case, starting from the text "Departure of the daring navigator", found in First Stories, by Guimarães Rosa, it is expected to verify the different forms of poetic representation in the fictional narrative of Rosa, observing, for that, the literary and discursive elements and structures. Some lines of force, that make Rosa's text an experience of prose and poetry, are expected to be drawn with the bibliographical contribution of renowned reviewers and theorists.
