Resumo
Este trabalho se destina a verificar de que modo se constituiu uma vertente regionalista na literatura brasileira. Os resultados do mapeamento inicial na historiografia literária do século XX, a partir de onze Histórias da literatura brasileira, nas seções dedicadas ao tratamento da literatura regionalista, nos fizeram entender que havia uma elaboração discursiva aliada a propósitos políticos para a construção do Estado nacional brasileiro ainda no século XIX. Assim, recorremos à leitura das Histórias publicadas no século XIX, a partir das quais julgamos encontrar as bases para a formação do pensamento sobre a vertente regionalista na literatura brasileira em Ferdinand Denis, no seu Resumo da história literária do Brasil, de 1826 e na História da Literatura Brasileira, em cinco volumes, de Sílvio Romero, publicada em 1888. Deste modo, passamos a verificar como Denis e Romero ajudaram a organizar critérios que levaram à formação de uma categorização da literatura que atendia à função nacionalizante. Essa sistematização foi responsável pela formação da vertente literária regionalista, na medida em que criou um modo de ler e de produzir literatura. Sobre os processos de construção nacional, nos apoiamos nos estudos de Miroslav Hroch (2000) e Eric Hobsbawm (1990), no sentido de observar pontos comuns ao processo que se tentou implantar aqui, via literatura. Assim sendo, este trabalho foi organizado em duas partes. A primeira, que buscou verificar como se constituiu a vertente regionalista no romance brasileiro, composta por dois capítulos: um, sobre os resultados do mapeamento na historiografia do século XX e as contribuições de Ferdinand Denis, a partir de seu Resumo; e o segundo capítulo, sobre Sílvio Romero e a guinada do todo nacional para a regionalização, pensada a partir das concepções em torno da raça, cultura e do método etnográfico, além da construção de um método crítico e interpretativo para a literatura. A segunda parte do trabalho, cujo objetivo foi verificar se há incidência dos aparatos críticos em questão na própria literatura rotulada de regional, foi constituída da leitura de três romances que julgamos importantes para pensar a trajetória dessa literatura dita regionalista. Desta maneira, buscamos pensar essas narrativas a partir do aparato crítico que se pretendeu construir através de Denis e Romero no que se refere à representação da paisagem e à constituição de um povo comum, relacionando com as concepções que se inscreveram na historiografia do século XX.
This work aims at verifying how a regionalist strand was constituted in the Brazilian literature. The results of an initial mapping in the literary historiography of the 20th century, from eleven Stories of the Brazilian literature, in the sections dedicated to the treatment of regionalist literature, it made us understand that there was a discursive elaboration allied with political purposes for the construction of the Brazilian national State still in the 19th century. Thus, we have resorted to the reading of the Stories published in the 19th century, from which ones we deem to find the basis for the formation of the thinking about the regionalist strand in the Brazilian literature in Ferdinand Denis, in his Summary of the literary history of Brazil, of 1826 and in the History of the Brazilian Literature, in five volumes, by Sílvio Romero, published in 1888. In this way, we have started to verify how Denis and Romero helped to organize criteria that led to the formation of a categorization of the literature that served the nationalizing function. This systematization was responsible for the formation of the regionalist literary strand, inasmuch as it created a way of reading and producing literature. On the processes of national construction, we have based on the studies of Miroslav Hroch (2000) and Eric Hobsbawm (1990), in order to observe common points to the process that was tried to implant here, via literature. Therefore, this work has been organized in two parts. The first one, which sought to verify how the regionalist strand in the Brazilian novel was constituted, consisted of two chapters: one, on the results of the mapping in the historiography of the 20th century and Ferdinand Denis’s contributions, from his Summary; and the second chapter, about Sílvio Romero and the turning of the whole national to the regionalization, thought from the conceptions of the race, culture and the ethnographic method, as well as the construction of a critical and interpretative method for the literature. The second part of the work, whose objective was to verify if there is incidence of the critical apparatuses in question in the literature labeled regional, it was constituted of the reading of three novels that we consider important to think the trajectory of this literature called regionalist. In this way, we try to think these narratives from the critical apparatus that was intended to build through Denis and Romero in what refers to the representation of the landscape and the constitution of a common people, relating to the conceptions that were inscribed in the historiography of the 20th century.
