Identidades transversais nas representações da velhice e do envelhecimento em três contos de Sagarana, de Guimarães Rosa

Abstract

The cultural representation of the elderly is the focus of our analysis of three stories from Sagarana, by Guimarães Rosa: “O burrinho pedrês”, “São Marcos” and “A hora e a vez de Augusto Matraga”. This fictional universe is closely related to the cultural production taken as a creative and critical extension of society as it functions as a basis for the latter and provides multiple and heterogeneous elements for the development of transversal identities.
