A AGRESSIVIDADE COMO LINGUAGEM DE RESISTÊNCIA EM BARRELA DE PLÍNIO MARCOS

Abstract

Contemporary Brazilian literature is marked by a historic moment in the country's reconstruction. Access to new technologies, the military dictatorship, and the various liberation movements, such as “direct now” affect critical thoughts and writing. The dictatorial period was marked by political and social limitations, as a form of liberation, culture became the central instrument for popular expression. Within this liberating scenario, short stories and novels begin to give way to the pain and violence suffered in everyday life. In this redesign, literature became a multifaceted environment, allowing different possibilities of expression, among which aggressiveness stands out, which was adopted by several renowned works. Therefore, we intend, with this course conclusion work, to analyze how this theme is configured in the work Barrela by Plínio Marcos. To this end, we discuss contemporary Brazilian literature in the context of the Military Dictatorship and the space occupied by violence in the works of that period; we describe how violence and aesthetics are presented in contemporary literature based on SchØllhammer (2013) and Birman (2000), drawing a parallel with works by Plínio Marcos that dialogue with this perspective; we contextualize the character in the modern or social drama, which goes through a process of individualization based on Rocha (2013) and Williams (2002), reflecting the relationship between aggressiveness and the action of the characters based on Winnicott (1987), among others.
