A hibridez narrativa em o Mez da grippe, de Valêncio Xavier

Abstract

The narrative hybridity in Valencio Xavier's O mez da grippe is based on an analysis and interpretation of the various discourses that are incorporated into the author's literary practice. In this sense, the path we take here is to (re)think such discourses through an analysis that can understand which resources Valencio Xavier takes in order to make sense of his literary achievement. For this, it uses stylistic and aesthetic tools such as assembly, bricolage and collage, as well as parody, paraphrase and pastiche, and other textual referencing elements that redefine images, photographs and texts written as the narrative takes its ways through the various narratives that are consolidated: that of the man who walks alone through the city of Curitiba; Dona Lucia's, and her historical detachment from the flu; that of World War I that occupies the narrative plans; as well as other stories that coexist and streamline this space of meaning. In order to fulfill the objective of analyzing and interpreting such work, we will rely on the writings of Clüver (2011), Candido (2011), Elias (1993), among others, as soon as it becomes relevant for the consolidation of this study.
