Identidade(s) em trânsito: uma esquizoanálise do personagem narrador em Acenos e Afagos de João Gilberto Noll

Abstract

With the main corpus of the novel Acenos e afagos (2008) by the writer João Gilberto Noll, the present work aims to make an analysis on the construction of the characternarrator and consequently of the modern and contemporary narrative approaching the Neobarroque theory by Severo Sarduy (1979), this work will be given, supported by the schizoanalysis proposed by Deleuze and Guattari (2014) and other referential as the "body without organs" by Artaud – Filtered by the studies of Deleuze and Guattari (2014/2015), deterritorialization, devir, and rhizome, from the studies of the same duo of philosophers (2014/2015/2017), as well as the Deleuzian (2015) concepts of Baroque and Compossibility. After the introduction, Chapter 2 will present a brief overview of the modern and contemporary novel and the role of the narrator in this novel. In Chapter 3, we will deal with the Baroque novel and its artifices, besides making the approximation between the aforementioned concepts that help to study the modern and contemporary narrative presenting a small sample of works by other authors, namely: Cobra (1975) by Severo Sarduy, Nossa Senhora das Flores (1983) by Jean Genet and Orlando (1986) by Virginia Woolf, whose narrators-characters, characters and/or narratives in transit, are already within a perspective of modern and contemporary novels, whose rhizomatic characteristics, where the compossibilities in which they are conceived are given, point to the Baroque scripture. In Chapter 4, we will present a concise analysis of the fictional writing of Noll and his critical fortune in which will be made a journey on other Noll books and tales, analyzing aspects of the narrative composition and of Noll's characters, namely: O cego e a dançarina (2008), A fúria do corpo (2008), Hotel Atlâtico (1990), Lorde (2004), and A céu aberto (2008). The study, here, focuses on the transit identity of the narrators' characters and/or characters of such works and how the critical fortune collaborates to better understand Noll's writings. Then, Chapter 5, is destined for the exclusive analysis of the transience of the identities of the character-narrator of the work Acenos e afagos (2008), taking as starting point the concepts already mentioned. This work has as a secondary objective to develop analytical tools for the narratives of modernity and postmodernity that carry in their structures new forms of "organization" and conception, built within a Baroque process of mutations, flows, instabilities, ruptures, intensities, and transitivities.
