O século XIX no XXI: a composição ficcional de Marco Lucchesi em O dom do crime

Abstract

This thesis aims at investigating, having as the starting point the novel O dom do crime (2010), by Marco Lucchesi, the underground relations between the work by authors of different times; history and fiction; the hipertexts made in fiction by the contemporary writer and the social life of the end of XIX Century, the narrative strategies indicated spontaneously by the diary writer Lucchesi s narrator and the specifically addressed to Dom Casmurro (1900, work that triggers at least ficcionally, Lucchesi s fictional project). The bonding of the two books is the subject of the compositional engineering proposed by the contemporary novel and line drawn around theoretical, critical and analytical issues but also poetical, philosophical and scientifical, that happens inherently the narrative. In the same Old Rio de Janeiro scenario, Capitu and Bento Santiago emerge from Machadian fiction, move from Matacavalos, from Machadian novel, to Barbonos Street, from Lucchesi s novel. Aiming at analyzing the bridge built by the contemporary novelist, the complexity of the epistemology, by Edgar Morin (1999), serves as a basis of methodological orientation, in order to become easy to operate the multiples focus of characters s flow, analyzing the geography that covers remote areas of the city and fictional landscape of Dom Casmurro and of O dom do crime. In the second part of the thesis, a theoretical interface between fiction, history and science, having in mind the capacity of creating potential deployment of the same story in other possible stories, or, as Jorge Luis Borges would say: bifurcations , or in a scientifical way: alternate history . The third moment of this work advances through the criticism and critic Machadian legacy. In the last chapter an ascetic reading of Marco Lucchesi s writing.
