Resumo
Este trabalho propõe-se a estudar Balada da Praia dos Cães (1982), de José Cardoso Pires, sob a perspectiva da paródia do romance policial, tendo em vista que essa obra utiliza-se de procedimentos típicos desse gênero para, a partir de dentro, subvertê-lo. A subversão manifesta-se, principalmente, pelo desvio no foco da narrativa, que deixa de ser a resolução do enigma, como no romance policial clássico, e passa a ser a construção do texto/inquérito por parte do detetive e do narrador, ou seja, a obra não tem como foco principal descobrir quem, como e por que ocorreu o crime, mas sim desvendar o processo de composição narrativa. Nesse sentido, pode-se dizer que o romance cardoseano engendra uma reflexão metalingüística que se desdobra em dois planos: por um lado, vemo-nos diante de um texto que nos revela os próprios mecanismos que o constroem, principalmente, pela recorrência e subversão do paradigma policial, e, por outro, temos um romance sobre o processo pelo qual o detetive elabora uma narrativa a partir das provas, indícios, etc. Tendo em vista essa configuração, destacam-se as instâncias do narrador e do autor, que instauram no romance uma rede de desconfianças que desestabilizam as noções de “verdade” e “autoridade” a partir do exame e questionamento dos mais diversos discursos que se fazem presentes na obra de Cardoso Pires.
This paper aims at studying Balada da Praia dos Cães (1982), by José Cardoso Pires, from the perspective of the detective novel parody, considering that the novel uses the typical procedures of this genre and then subverts it. Subversion is manifested mainly by diverting the focus of the narrative, which is no longer the puzzle solving, as it is in the classic detective story, but the construction of the text/inquest by the detective and the narrator, that is, the novel is not focused on finding out who, how and why the crime occurred, but to unravel the process of the narrative composition. In this sense, it can be said that the cardoseano novel engenders a metalinguistic reflection that unfolds on two levels: on the one hand, we are faced with a text that reveals its own mechanisms of construction, mainly for the recurrence and the subversion of the detective paradigm, and, on the other hand, we have a novel about the process by which the detective creates a narrative based on the proof, evidences, etc. Given this setting, the highlights are on the instances of the narrator and the author, which introduce in the novel a network of suspicions that destabilize the notions of truth and authority from the examination and questioning of many different speeches that are made present in the work of Cardoso Pires.
