Violência e indeterminação em Grande sertão: veredas e outras estórias de Guimarães Rosa

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the narratives of violence and their indeterminations in the work of Guimarães Rosa. For this purpose, an agreement was established between the writer from Minas Gerais state and the French-Algerian philosopher Jacques Derrida. From the undecidable and indeterminate character of the writing of João Guimarães Rosa, the reading of Grande Sertão: Veredas and narratives such as "Desenredo", the series "Zoo" de Ave, Palavra, "Meu tio o Iauaretê" were made based of derrideans "textual operators" such as "destinerrance, "ex-appropriation," "différance", "sovereignty", "event", "phallogocentrism". This undecidability ended up by making two reading fronts: on the one hand, the rosian text was read in the light of derridean writing, on the other hand, it can be said that the derridean text was also read in the light of writing of João Guimarães Rosa. Thus, it was necessary to focus in the strength of the paradoxes and aporias of these two writings. So, the work does not ask the metaphysical question in order to explain "what is it?" or "of what is it?" the violence in rosians writing. Therefore, the analysis unfolds in the task of verifying how the rosians text calls into question a series of postulates of metaphysics that regulates the senses and points to a path in which they slide and do not fix themselves in rigid categorizations, using the axiom: "everything is and is not".
