Resumo
This thesis is a systematic analysis of aspects related to the representation
of spatiality, as well as other narrative strategies employed by Bernardo
Carvalho in the construction of two of his novels: Mongolia (2003) and
The sun sets in São Paulo (2007). What most caught our attention in our
corpus was a certain similarity between the novels in relation to what we
may call the “work’s architecture,” since the procedures used in the
construction of the novels are in many ways alike. In both of them we have
characters who, at some point in the plot, undertake trips to unknown
places which they try to comprehend as well as represent in their
narratives through different forms and in different discursive genres (such
as travel diaries, personal letter, oral narration) present in the novels.
Another important similarity refers to the fact that the novels, at various
times, present first-person narrators who seek to always represent the
spaces from their perceptions and points of view. Another significant
characteristic – probably a trademark in Bernardo Carvalho’s style –, is
the use of the presence of writing characters who, if they are not presently
writing a novel, at least plan to or are really writing a novel, if not the
novel we are reading. We are aware that the term “space” has different
meaning and theoretical importance in various fields of knowledge as
Geography, Art Theory, Physics, Urbanism, Semiotics, Theory of
Literature and Narratology among others, nevertheless we tried to use it
in this dissertation through a transdisciplinary way, favoring approaches
concerning the fields of the Theory of Literature and Narratology.
