Add Tag | Summary: | The essay is the first of a series aimed at subjecting Machado de Assis’ work to a laboratory state, in order to present a future reading in contrast to Marcel Proust’s work. Canonical readings guided by sociological methodology are abandoned, favoring an understanding of the rhetorical and thematic boldness that materializes in The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas. The novel from 1881 aims at a persuasive critique of the limits of nationalist convergence in Brazilian arts. Its objective is to open the victorious boundaries of narrow identitarian politics through universalizing divergences. The novelist resolves the conflict between the national and the Eurocentric universal by inventing the modern narrative of introspection in the Portuguese language. |
