Resumo
Esta tese tem como objetivo apresentar o romancista José de Alencar como o fundador do romance americano no Brasil, lendo seus romances, prefácios e notas que deixou às suas narrativas, pelo viés de um olhar americano. Desta maneira, o conceito de americanidade possibilitará uma leitura da obra alencariana no âmbito das negociações identitárias. Para tanto, conceitos que estão sob a capa da americanidade como entre-lugar, casa-grande e senzala, tropicalismo, transculturação, indigenismo, serão analisados nos romances de Alencar, pois estes conceitos se cruzam na construção de um discurso que tenta reinventar e explicar a América continuamente. Ao debater estes temas, postular-se-á a figura do romancista como aquele que primeiro defendeu, no Brasil, a construção de um romance das Américas, que propôs narrar a lenta gestação do povo americano no seu projeto de literatura. Alencar também foi o primeiro a se auto-definir como americano publicamente no jornal O Globo. O sentimento de americanidade em Alencar poderá ser verificado nos diálogos estabelecidos, por seus romances, com outros romancistas e escritores do continente. Todos pensando na construção da identidade americana em seus textos. Assim, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, José Hernández, Juan León Mera, Clorinda Matto de Turner, Jorge Icaza e Ciro Alegría, serão vistos em contraponto com a produção romanesca de Alencar. Todos estes autores privilegiando o espaço americano como seu lugar de enunciação na defesa de uma produção cultural própria do continente americano, da qual seus romances, ensaios e poemas são portadores. Portanto, a tese propõe um trabalho de comparatismo literário interamericano, que tem como centro de discussões a própria América nos seus mais diversos cruzamentos...
This thesis aims at presenting the novelist José de Alencar as the founder of the american novel in the Brazil, reading his novels, prefaces and notes that he left in his narratives, on the bias at an american look. In this way, the concept of americanism will make possible the reading of Alencar‟s books in the ambit of the identity negotiations. For this proposal, concepts that are under the cover of americanism as in-between, The Masters and The Slaves, tropicalism, transculturation, indigenism will be analysed in Alencar‟s novels, because these concepts cross themselves in the construction of a discourse that tries to re-invent and to explain America continuously. At debating these themes, we will postulate that the figure of the novelist as the one who first defended, in Brazil, the construction of a novel of Américas, that proposed to tell the slow gestation of the american people in his literature project. Alencar also was the first to auto-define himself as american publicaly in the newspaper O Globo. The americanism feeling in Alencar will be verified in dialogues established, by his novels, with other novelists and writers of the continent. All of them are thinking of a construction of american identity in their texts. So, Domingo Faustino Sarmineto, José Hernández, Juan León Mera, Clorinda Matto de Turner, Jorge Icaza and Ciro Alegria will be seen in counterpoint with Alencar‟s romanesque production. All of these authors privilege the american space as the place of enunciation in the defense of an own cultural production of the american continent, from which his novels, essays, and poems are porters.
