SUMMARY:
Brazil’s present has been marked by the resurgence and effervescence of social discourses that brought to light worldviews about the military dictatorship: divergent discourses that carry with them either positive or negative images of the “years of lead.” In that period, literature became a great fighting device used by novelists, chroniclers and poets who began to use their productions to materialize discourses against the military dictatorship and the atrocities committed to those who uttered critical discourses against the regime as a whole. As they present an innovative writing, a dialogue with the context of production, and a critical (un)masking of the military dictatorship in their discourses, literary works, among which are the works of Carlos Heitor Cony, stand out, namely, Pessach: a travessia, Pilatos, and Quase memória, quase romance. These works, which are the corpus of this research, were written, respectively, before, during and after AI5, the repressive decree of the military dictatorship, published on December 13, 1968. In this vein, our object of study focuses on the relationship between the Brazilian military dictatorship and the novel, understood as a literary discourse responsible for reflecting and refracting a diversity of discourses impregnated with ideologies. Thus, the main objective of this dissertation is to defend the idea that the discourses of repression and resistance are present in Cony’s works and are materialized more expressively in the form and content of the novels, more specifically in the voices of the narrators, the characters, and the way in which the novels are orchestrated. It is through the dialogic relations with the context of production and the diversity of discourses that comprise the novels that we intend to point out how the discourse of repression and resistance was materialized in the literary pieces. To do so, a comparative analysis of the three novels will be carried out, methodologically focusing on the voices of the narrators, the discourses of the characters, and the way the novels were elaborated. In this way, we will verify, comparatively, how these subjects (narrators and characters), who are responsible for composing the plurivocality of the novel, present their criticism to the dictatorship and how this political scenario is refracted. The discussions and analyses will be based mainly on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the Bakhtinian theory and the so-called Bakhtin Circle, especially related to the contributions of Valentim Voloshinov and Pavel Medvedev. Reflections on the impacts of the military dictatorship on Brazilian society will be theoretically based on the studies of Pontes (2013; 2018), Arns (1987) and Schwarcz and Starling (2015), who outline the years of repression and censorship through which the Brazilian society of that period went and that were refracted in the novels we analyze. The analyses done have shown, essentially, that the discourses of repression and resistance penetrated not only that dictatorial context but also the three novels we studied, as they were refracted especially in the voices of the narrators, characters, and the structural form with which the novels were orchestrated.
