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, over just over 20 years of work, in addition to his impact in the cinematographic field, he was also a writer. And this production 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. Even with a fictional plot, there is an intense presence of the “self”: in addition to Glauber’s own performance 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 belonging to the backland, his friendship with Guimarães Rosa and the case of the death of his sister Anecy. In this way, the interest of this Thesis is to investigate how Glauber Rocha works in the same text the autobiographical and the autofictional making, distinct and equally intricate instances within the scope of the writings of the self. For such an analysis, in addition to the book in question, 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 theorists of the notions of an autobiographical pact (LEJEUNE, 2014) and of autofiction (DOUBROVSKY, 1977). As a result, it appears that Glauber, far from fixing himself in categories, presents in Riverão Sussuarana a literary power in which life and work are mixed, and the writings of themselves are muddled. There are no definitions: nor memory, nor autobiography, nor novel, nor autofiction, but all of these at the same time. They are new pacts.
