Leituras do espaço configurado na obra de Graciliano Ramos

Abstract

This paper investigates how the notion of space is considered in critical texts on Graciliano Ramos’ works. We analyse important references in the critical bibliography on Graciliano: some texts written by Otto Maria Carpeaux, and the critical studies included in two anthologies, Graciliano Ramos, organized by Sônia Brayner, and Antonio Candido’s Ficção e confissão. We identify which is the predominant theoretical and critical perspective in the corpus under consideration – a perspective that we call “representational” –, even if such interpretive approach is problematized to some extent in some of the texts that are examined.
