As vozes em "Emissários do Diabo" de Gilvan Lemos.

Abstract

The general objective of this dissertation is to analyze the heterodiscursivity in the novel "Emissários do Diabo" (Emissaries of the Devil) by Gilvan Lemos. The choice of theme originated in the Portuguese Language Curriculum Parameters of Pernambuco (2012), which guide the achievement of literary readings involving contemporary works and authors from Pernambuco and in the observation that we do not find many studies about the works of this writer. We use as a theoretical basis the contributions of the dialogical theory of language, especially the reflections of Bakhtin (2002; 2013; 2015) and Volóchinov (1930; 1976; 2017). For an understanding of the commandos of the colonels and the behavior of these individuals in the rural context of the Northeast, addressed in the novel, we seek support in Leal (1987). From the methodological point of view, we did the exploratory and investigative re-reading of the work, guided by the specific objectives listed, selecting the fragments of the narrator and the characters Camilo and Major Germano, in order to understand which social types and points of view are represented artistically in the voices of these characters. In the analysis, it was verified that in "Emissários do Diabo" (Emissaries of the Devil), the voices of the characters are represented in direct, indirect and free indirect discourse, having a preference for the last two when referring to the character Camilo, possibly as a narrator's way of sympathizing with the resistance to the oppressive power of his uncle, Major Germano. And by direct speech to represent the speech of the latter, a literate and powerful man in the context of the temporal space of the work. The analysis made it possible to perceive that the choice of these forms of enunciation provides a reflection on these two social types, their thoughts and feelings, as well as the ethical and moral values of the two social classes represented. We believe that the study of voices, in the light of Bakhtin's theory, contributes to the study of this writer's work, since there seems to be no specific research on heterodiscursivity in "Emissários do Diabo" (Emissaries of the Devil).
