Relação animal humano e não humano no romance As horas nuas, de Lygia Fagundes Telles

Abstract

This the sisaims to perform na interpretive analysis of the relationship between the human and then on human animal and its ethical and a esthetic implications in the novel called As horas nuas (2010), by Lygia Fagundes Telles, through the confrontation of the three narrative voices. The voices, alternating in chapters in the composition of the narrative, are: the actress Rosa Ambrósio, the cat Rahul and the omnisciente third person, contemplating the actions involving Ananta Medrado, analyst of the actress. For this, in Chapter I, there is there vision of historical anthropocentrism from the perspective of Animal Ethics and the critique of speciesism, undertakenby Peter Singer, in Animal Liberation; the question of the look at the relationship between the human and the non human animal, postulated by Jacques Derrida, in The Animal I Am Soon (below); and the analysis of dualism, doneby Val Plumwood, in Feminism and the Mastery of Nature. From this, Chapter II problematizes and proposes a revision of the traditional concept of anthropomorphization. Moreover, it correlates the two derridian ways (see / seeandbeseen) of relating to the non human animal with the way of writing it and, consequently, ofreading it in some non human animal images in the occidental literature narrative relevant to the discussion. Chapter III performs the literary interpretative analysis of the chosen corpus, starting from the dialogue between the three narrative voices. To this end, it relies on the philosophical considerations of the authors mentioned regarding the relationship between the human animal and the non human animal and examines the ethical-aesthetic implications.
