Resumo
Esta pesquisa analisou a leitura do mito do vampiro no romance O vampiro que descobriu o Brasil (1999), do escritor carioca Ivan Jaf, a partir do qual o autor apresenta, pela ótica de um imortal, uma revisão crítica de quinhentos anos da História do Brasil. A perspectiva de análise deste estudo levou em consideração o caráter híbrido da obra assentada em uma dimensão dupla em que o tecido histórico e o tecido mítico se conjugam para armar um discurso literário, alegórico, crítico, intertextual e paródico que relê, ao mesmo tempo, a história factual do Brasil e sua relação com Portugal no período de quase cinco séculos (1500 a 1999), e o próprio mito do vampiro aclimatado ao solo brasileiro da trama. Como elementos imprescindíveis à compreensão do tecido híbrido da narrativa, foram abordadas nessa pesquisa algumas questões como: fronteiras do discurso histórico e mítico ficcional, procedimentos de hibridização de gêneros e personagens mítico-literárias, releitura da história cultural brasileira e da construção da identidade nacional, tradição e rupturas. Assim, o estudo realizado teve como enfoque principal a compreensão da releitura do mito clássico do vampiro por Ivan Jaf em uma nova roupagem capaz de transformá-lo em um mito à brasileira, por meio do qual o autor realizou um percurso narrativo que discutiu questões identitárias, culturais e sociais pertinentes ao homem brasileiro, além de ter dialogado e agregado novos elementos à tradição literária vampiresca.
This research analyzed the reading about the vampire’s myth in the novel O vampiro que descobriu o Brasil (1999), written by the Brazilian writer Ivan Jaff, in which the author presents, through a viewpoint of an immortal, a critical revision during the five hundred years of Brazilian History. The perspective of analyze in this study took into consideration the hybrid features of the novel, that are based on a double dimension, in which the historic and the mythic elements get together in order to form a literary discourse, with allegory, critics, intertextuality and parody that show, at the same time, the Brazilian history and its connection to Portugal for about five centuries (from 1500 to 1999), and the own vampire’s myth integrated with the Brazilian setting. Thus, in order to understand the hybrid aspects of the narrative, this dissertation discussed some issues connected to following ideas: borders of the historic discourse and fictional myth; procedures of genre hybridization and mythic-literary characters; re-reading of the cultural Brazilian history, and the formation of the national identity; tradition and ruptures. Hence, this study had as its main focus the comprehension of the re-reading about the classical vampire’s myth developed by Ivan Jaf, related to a new concept that would be able to turn it in a Brazilian myth. Therefore, the writer established a narrative procedure that discussed identity, cultural and social issues concerned to the Brazilian man; moreover, it was added new elements to the literary tradition about vampires.
