THE FICTIONALIZATION OF REALITY AND THE HISTORICIZATION OF FICTION IN POST-DICTATORSHIP BRAZIL: A WALK THROUGH THE NARRATIVE WOODS OF FELIZES POUCO, BY MARIA JOSÉ SILVEIRA.

Abstract

In an attempt to understand the ways in which fiction reconstructs history, making writing a battlefield for the valorization of the subjectivity of individuals and memory in the construction of official and institutionalized discourses of historical events, as argued in the studies of Chartier (2000) and Pesavento (2000), we will seek in this work to understand this process within the literary production in Brazil after the military dictatorship, contextualized by Brait (2015) and Figueredo (2015), through the analysis of the short story Felizes Pouco, by Maria José Silveira, in light of studies on memory, present in the works of Halbwachs (2006) and Bosi (2007).
