Entre Guimarães Rosa, Manoel de Barros e Bartolomeu Campos Queirós: a criação de uma infância da escrita

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to produce a reflexion about childhood through questioning some paradigmatic concepts on the subject that are, as a rule, instilled with the sense of failure, lack and incompleteness. The crystallized approach of childhood as a precarious, provisional andincomplete state is equated on this work, that has the challenge to project others reading proposals for the theme, among which include the treatment of childhood as an event linked to the sphere of the new and the creation. For this discussion, this work was based especially on the theoretical writings of authors such as Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben and Gilles Deleuze, in order to think about possible relationships between literature and childhood. These relations were based on Guimarães Rosa"s tales "Jardins e Riachinhos". Hisview of childhood is explored through the convergence of texts about the theme writen by Manoel de Barros and Bartolomeu Campos Queirós. From literature images of these writers was possible to us to identify a poetry of childhood or a childhood writing. that´s all about writing commented with relations of creation and discovery from the playing with the words. The childish on the literature was explored not just as a theme, but mainly like a manner to write and figure out the childhood on it´s on going and creative duty overturning at this way the idea on which the childhood gets decrease to a time of necessity, gaping and scanty.
