Outras vozes: O discurso plurivocal em Budapesde, de Chico Buarque

Abstract

This dissertation proposes an interpretative reading of the literary speech present in Budapeste, Chico Buarque’s novel, attempting to investigate during the narrative’s play building process a plurality of polyphonic subjects, that in their changing fictional relations, enlightens social, historical and ideological issues, included inquires about the authorship phenomenon self nature and literary establishment. Determined to search the polyphonic feature of the novel, I’ll try to sustain that the voices that echoes during the narrative complete themselves by dialogical process, it means, through the relation with the other. The novel in analysis is permeated with a lot of voices, and in the metalanguage finds a way of mirror its intertextuality feature. In this sense, the novel tracks the ways that break the protagonist narrator’s identity, in which searching for his true self he disguises himself in his doubles with a subjectivity compound by the voices that seems to inhabit him. As a way of reflect about the anonymous condition exposed in the narrative, we’ll start from the notion about the author’s disappearing or vanishing, cloaked by the great net of discursive formations. Starting from an approach that intends to analyze the speech, we search in a multidiscipline way, how to establish a dialogue with other areas of knowledge like psychoanalysis, language philosophy, literary theory and linguistics, in this way, with the cultural studies, as a mean of reflect about the positions created by the literary text, in the authorship and writ levels since the text concept until its final destiny. Using concepts like Bakhtin’s polyphony and dialogism, Foucault’s author function and discursive formation, Marx’s product fetishism, Baudrillard’s factorization and others, I’ll try to situate the current analysis in the inquiring field that can make evident how the Chico Buarque’s narrative fictionalize the fragmentation of the contemporary man, whom, conditioned as a language subject, is inscribed on the narrative of an ego inhabited by a plurality of possible identities.
