Apropriação e reutilização de resíduos culturais: práticas serializantes em Amazona, de Sérgio Sant'Anna

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze in the work Amazona, by the brazilian writer Sérgio Sant'Anna, how new forms of contemporary literature are taking advantage of serialized procedures representation, typical of speeches and/or vehicles from the scope of mass culture. The first chapter seeks to situate the literary writing of Amazona within a cultural background in process of depletion, which operates the weakening of the illustrated models of representation and enables the emergence of new literary forms, which stand for the appropriation, the deviation, the rewriting, the secondary status, the simulation. In the second chapter, which deals with the discursive procedures of hybridization present in Amazona, the aim is to highlight the influence, in the narrative fabrication of the novel, of images and compositional procedures typically feuilletonistic, mapping the ways in which the narrative resembles and conforms to address this serialized discourse of this entertainment literature. From this considerations, it becomes possible, then, already in the last chapter, to determine how the narrative appropriates these discourses in order to recycle then and reframes them, as they are removed from their home environment and inserted into a new context of production. For another perspective, if it is notorious in Amazona to set up a novel that behaves and in many ways simulates the typical narratives of feuilletonistic matrix, it is also possible to observe the incorporation into the fictional universe discursive instances from the cinematographic scope. The Seventh Art works on Amazona in order to influence much of the narrative organization, marking the construction of the narrator, characters, time and space and opening to the formation of a scripture that tends, in many aspects, to the filmic realization.
