O ser incontornável: a presença do narrador nos textos de João Antônio e Eliane Brum

Abstract

The purpose of the dissertation is to analyze the presence of the narrator in texts that present conventions of journalism, but which also present themselves as literature. The research was motivated by the texts of journalist Eliane Brum, published in the book O ojo da rua: a reporter in search of real life literature. For being one of the writers of greater prominence in writing that bets on the mixture of journalism and literature, the writer João Antonio was considered, in this research, a kind of "illustrious antecedent". From the author, we chose to analyze "A Day at the Pier" and "Who's the Finger?", Published in the extinct magazine Realidade, which allowed a comparison between the two writers '/ journalists' ways of narrating. As a theoretical basis were used the writings of Leonor Arfuch, Roland Barthes, Antonio Candido, Norman Friedman, Wolfgang Iser, Silviano Santiago, among others. The result of the research consists in the process of hybridization between journalism and literature, amalgamated by the strong presence of the narrator
