ABSTRACT
This
project whose title is THE HISTORIOGRAPHIC METAFICTION OF ANA MIRANDA: A
READING OF THE BIOGRAPHIC-FICTIONAL NARRATIVES BOCA DO INFERNO AND DIAS &
DIAS is part of a broader project carried out in the Portuguese Language
Literature Studies Group – GELLP, at the University State of Piauí, Campus
professor Barros Araújo, which seeks to investigate the literature of the
Portuguese language. It is intended to work the biographical-fictional
narratives Boca do Inferno (2006) and Dias & Dias (2002), by Ana Miranda
under the aspect of Historiographical Metafiction, supported by the studies of
Linda Hutcheon (1991), Poetics of Post-Modernism . It seeks to contribute to
the advancement of this area of knowledge, with the expansion of its
comparative studies of contemporary Brazilian literature. By proposing a
reading of Ana Miranda's works, one perceives the relevance of the theoretical
approach to the concepts of fiction and metafiction and, in this context, that
of Historiographical Metafiction. Reflections around such concepts become
crucial when literary analysis turns to fictional narratives that appropriate
history to compose the fictional structure. Ana Miranda, in a set of
narratives, develops this aesthetic condition, proposing recreations of
historical times and storytelling of the lives of characters that have
historical references. In contemporary narratives, in which Miranda's works are
framed, the use of historical themes has become frequent, or rather, the
re-reading of history in a movement of creation and updating; self-reflection
is also a crucial characteristic of these narratives. To carry out the
research, we relied on scholars such as Hutcheon (1991), Esteves (1998) and
Malard (2010).
Keywords: Historiographic metafiction. Biographical-fictional narratives. Ana Miranda.
