Resumo
O trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o romance A fúria do Corpo, de João Gilberto Noll, para desvendar os principais caminhos da construção da narrativa, que levam à caracterização de sua linguagem poética. Para tanto, apoia-se, fundamentalmente, em três conceitos de Walter Benjamin: experiência, barbárie e linguagem. O primeiro conceito permite enquadrar a prosa do autor nas molduras narrativas contemporâneas, tendo como centro um narrador-protagonista problematizado em seus dois papéis: como personagem e narrador. Na esfera do primeiro, destacam-se os conflitos vivenciais projetados por uma vida errante, desgarrada do passado e esvaziada no presente pela falta de identidade e qualquer vínculo social. No plano enunciativo, sobressai a dificuldade de narrar associada à falta de experiências significativas decorrentes dessa condição marginalizada e degradada de vida. O segundo conceito, barbárie, projeta o papel do narrador sobre o corpo do personagem, uma vez que é esse o elemento que o identifica como último resquício de sua parca humanidade. Dessa maneira, o “narrador bárbaro” retira das ruínas e fragmentos dessa vida a matéria com que constrói o corpo da narrativa e o seu discurso. Por meio do conceito de linguagem, demonstra-se como esse narrador transfigura a linguagem decaída de sua vida grotesca e mundana em linguagem divina. Resgatado a esse patamar pelo trabalho linguístico, a enunciação eleva o plano dos personagens a um patamar mítico e a linguagem a uma esfera sagrada e poética. Dessa maneira, a própria narrativa, por meio do seu corpo discursivo, transforma-se de uma aventura mundana em uma reescritura mítica, fazendo de sua linguagem o principal procedimento da conquista poética.
This paper aims at discussing the novel A fúria do corpo, written by João Gilberto Noll, in order to unveil the main literary procedures that characterize its poetic language. For this purpose, this thesis is based on three fundamental concepts discussed by Walter Benjamin: experience, barbarism and language. The first concept fits the author's prose into the frames of contemporary narrative, due to its first person narrator and his two roles: character and narrator. Therefore, as a character, his internal conflicts, outlined by a wandering life, are brought into evidence, such an erratic lifestyle is torn from the past and void of meaning in the present by the lack of identity or any social link. On the enunciation level, there is an association between the difficulty of narrating and the absence of meaningful experiences due to the marginalized and degraded life. The second concept, barbarism, sets the narrator’s role on the character’s body, since it is the element which defines him, as it is the last vestige of his scarce humanity. Thus, this “barbarian narrator” draws from the ruins and fragments of this kind of life the substance used to build the narrative’s body and its discourse. Through the concept of language, it is shown how this narrator transforms the decayed language of his grotesque and worldly life into a holy language. Redeemed to such a degree by the linguistic work, the enunciation elevates the characters to a mythical status and the language to a sacred and poetic domain. As a result, through its discursive body, the narrative transforms itself from a worldly adventure into a mythical rewriting, transforming its own language into the main procedure of the poetic achievement.
