SUMMARY:

This research aims to study violence and silence in short stories “Menina a caminho”, by Raduan Nassar, and novel Grito empalhado, by Ricardo Daunt. The violence, understood as the intentional situation provoked by humans with the intention or the consequence of causing physical harm to others (Ginzburg, 2021) presents itself, in certain literary acts, as “the reference field in which the central elements of the works are introduced” (Ginzburg, 2012, p. 28). Silence, comprehended as part of the utterance that can be recovered verbally (Bakhtin, 2003), is established, within the framed literature, as a component that orbits around violent experiences and oppressive social systems (Holanda, 1992). As such, the relations between linguistic discontinuities and violent events are the focus of this study. Domestic and sexual violence, as well as the different shades of silence and silencing, are discussed within Nassar’s short story, considering the political horizon built within the narrative. In Daunt’s work, focus remains on dictatorial violence, materialised in torture and disappearance, and on imposition of silence taken to the extreme. In order to obtain an analysis that merges social life and literary structure, this thesis is based on the propositions of Antonio Candido (2014, 2017), as they concern an integrative-dialectical reading of literature, and Bakhtin’s circle (Bakhtin, 2015; Medviédev, 2016; Volóchinov, 2018), based on the dialogical perspective. The approximation of approaches is meant as a manner to consider both the process of internalisation/formalisation of reality, understanding text as a structure in which the social aspect is one amongst others, and the comprehension of language as cosmovision.
