RECADO DO MORRO: THE STORY OF PEDRO OROSIO'S FORMATIVE EXPERIENCE

Abstract

This essay proposes to interpret the short story Recado do Morro, by Gui-maraes Rosa, in dialogue with the aesthetic-philosophical reflections of Theodor Adomo. What gives us the basis for the study is the fact that the short stories of Guimaraes Rosa present a semantic density, enabling a plurality of readings. From this perspective, we highlight five theoretical-methodological lines to guide us in this endeavor: a) the tension between mimesis and rationality, between the realm of nature, sensitivity and the dimensions of the constructive and the technique; b) the constellation - a resource used by Adomo to characterize, with more proximity, the object of knowledge - as Rosa's methodological procedure in the characterization of the central characters; c) the work of art as a critique of the society from which it came; d) Recado do Morro as a formation story of its protagonist. As the story of the song is being formed, the protagonist of the story is also constituting his personal identity; e) The work of art as an outburst of objectivity in the subjective consciousness of Pedro Orosio.
