Pelas veredas de Stella Maris Rezende: um olhar para A mocinha do Mercado Central

Abstract

There were many new beginnings until the final writing of this dissertation has taken place. There were many routes traced, falls and even fractures (literal and symbolic) until the objective of presenting a reading on the novel A mocinha do Mercado Central, by Stella Maris Rezende, was reached, illuminating aspects of the writer's original style and relevant themes. Stella Maris Rezende's writing is dedicated to children and young people, dealing with delicate, even fractured themes, which she discusses bluntly, showing life as it can be, through her thought-provoking characters, one of the main features of her work. Stella Maris Rezende’s full publication is on its way to 60 books, and it has already aroused the interest of many researchers, although there are still dozens of possible ways to study it. In this dissertation, aspects of his life and work, the work done with language, the mineiridades and the fractured themes often found in his work will be addressed. Finally, the third chapter highlights the novel A mocinha do Mercado Central, which consecrated her, in 2012, with the Jabuti Award for Best Book of the Year 2011. As a theoretical basis, the work revisits reflections proposed by Ana Margarida Ramos, Stuart Hall, José Nicolau Gregorin Filho, Gustavo Bernardo, among other relevant authors in a comparative methodological approach, articulating different fields of knowledge. Especially, it’s hoped that the interest in the writer's work doesn’t end with this work, but that it’s only the beginning of Stella Maris Rezende's acknowledgment as an important writer for literary production in Brazil
