Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Edson Santos de. Melancholic traces in Guimarães Rosa: a reading of ‘Páramo’, from ‘Estas Estórias’. Reverso [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.59, pp. 71-75. ISSN 0102-7395.

The present article aims at demonstrating how Guimarães Rosa, in the tale ‘Páramo’, from ‘Estas Estórias’, inaugurates a fictional stage of melancholy. The Rosian text suffers a gradual condensation as it advances and the melancholic resonances of this narrative function as a rigorous exercise of writing subtraction in search of silence, continuing Tutameia’s subtractive operations.

Keywords : Vazio; Melancholy; Silence; Emptiness; Subtraction; Disappearance.
