EMBARAÇO EMANCIPATIVO ENTRE FLUXOS DA CONSCIÊNCIA E PERSPECTIVAS TEXTUAIS EM TEMA E HORIZONTE: MAPEAMENTO DA EXPERIÊNCIA ESTÉTICA COM O ROMANCE AMADA, DE TONI MORRISON

Abstract

The Aesthetic Effect Theory and Literary Anthropology formulated by the German literary critic Wolfgang Iser, were born from the need to change the immanentist theoretical constructs and insert the reader in a sphere of active subject during the reading and production of meaning of literary texts. Thus, the reader-author, from her aesthetic experience with the novel Beloved, by American writer Toni Morrison, developed the hypothesis that literary narratives with a third-person narrator and an intense stream of consciousness could make it difficult to perceive the structure of theme and horizon and optimize the reader's emancipation. Starting from this hypothesis, we used the methodology of mapping the aesthetic experience developed by Santos (2020), to describe the reading process of the reader-author with the aforementioned novel and test the hypothesis of the present research. Such hypothesis was corroborated, because during her aesthetic experience there was a cognitive and affective emancipation regarding the understanding and interpretation of the narrative itself, criticality of the information arranged in the textual perspectives, expanded imagination through the multiplicity of possibilities of imagetic constructions of the scenes described in the course of the story, understanding and familiarization with the literary technique of stream of consciousness, as well as reflection about the distressing themes that interweave the novel. This research can also provide an analysis and reflection for the teacher when it comes to teaching literary reading, because narratives that are similar to the corpus of this work can cause the same effect on students, especially those who are in high school and have contact with texts with the specificities mentioned above
