Resumo
Este trabalho objetiva analisar como as personagens dos episódios presentes na obra da literatura chicana ...y no se lo tragó la tierra, de Tomás Rivera (1992), têm sua identidade (des)estruturada, exemplificando a (des)estruturação identitária dos chicanos, imigrantes mexicanos nos Estados Unidos e seus descendentes. Por meio dos conceitos de nação e nacionalismo adotados por Ernest Gellner (1983), Eric Hosbsbawn (2008) e Benedict Anderson (2008), averiguar-se-á o contexto histórico e os eventos ocorridos a fim de entender como esses conceitos estão relacionados ao processo de formação da comunidade chicana nos antigos territórios mexicanos conquistados pelos EUA, intensificado pelo movimento diaspórico. Após esse levantamento histórico, pretende-se comprovar o processo de estruturação/consolidação da identidade chicana, associando-a com o conceito de identidade de subclasse, definido por Bauman (2005) como a negação do direito de um indivíduo reivindicar uma identidade que não seja a que lhe foi imposta por outros; e o de desestruturação dessa identidade, articulando-a com a ideia de identidade fragmentada do sujeito pós-moderno defendida por Hall (2005). Os trechos e passagens dos episódios validarão as características e experiências das personagens como instrumentos tanto de apresentação como de ruptura dos estereótipos estabelecidos à identidade chicana.
This thesis aims at analyzing how the characters of the episodes presented in the Chicano Literature novel ...y no se lo tragó la tierra, by Tomás Rivera (1992), have their identity de/structured, exemplifying the identity de/structuring of the Chicanos, Mexican immigrants in the United States and their descendents. Through the concepts of nation and nationalism addressed by Ernest Gellner (1983), Eric Hosbsbawn (2008) and Benedict Anderson (2008), the historical context and the occurred events will be discussed in order to understand how these concepts are related to the process of the Chicano community formation in the former Mexican territories conquered by the U.S., itensified by the diasporic movement. After the historical data, it is intended to prove the process of structuring/consolidating the Chicano identity, associating it to the concept of underclass, defined by Bauman (2005) as the denial of the right of an individual to reclaim an identity different from the one that was imposed by others; and also the one of destructuring this identity, articulating with the idea of fragmented identity of the post-mordern subject defended by Hall (2005). The excerpts and passages from the episodes will validate the characters’ features and experiences as tools for both presenting and rupturing stereotypes given to the Chicano identity.
