SUMMARY:

Glauber Rocha (1939-1981) is a renowned Brazilian filmmaker, acclaimed for his films, for his aesthetic-political action and for his work with the Cinema Novo movement. However, along a little more than 20 years of production, in addition to his work in the cinematographic field, he was also a writer. And it is this production that is the object of study of this research: Riverão Sussuarana (2012) is a “desnovela”, a “recordel” that presents the irregular and complex narrative of the cine-reporter Glauber Rocha about the “heuztorya” of his journey through the sertão together with Guimarães Rosa and other characters, with the aim of finding the jagunço Riverão Sussuarana to face the foreign invader businessman Karte Bracker. Even with this fictional plot, there is an intense presence of the “self” in Riverão: beyond Glauber's own role as author, narrator and character in the book, he created his work based on himself, his life, his influences and his urgencies – such as his friendship with “Mestre Guima” and the case of the death of his sister Anecy. Thus, what interests us in this Thesis is to investigate how Glauber Rocha works in the same text the autobiographical and the autofictional, distinct and equally intricate instances within the scope of self-writing. For this analysis, added to the critical texts and the letters of Glauber himself (ROCHA, 1986; 1997), we have the author's biographies (BUENO, 2003; PIERRE, 1996; VENTURA, 2000) and the texts of the researchers of the notions of autobiography (LEJEUNE, 2014; KLINGER, 2006) and autofiction (DOUBROVSKY, 2013). Thereby, far from fixing categories, we have in Riverão Sussuarana a literary power in which life and work are mixed, autobiography and autofiction are intermingled.
