Escritor-personagem / personagem-escritor: Daniel Galera e o projeto Amores Expressos

Abstract

Given the recurrence of the creation of characters as writers in Brazilian fiction works published since the 1990s, it was chosen the Daniel Galera s production as a case study. The character as writer was seen as a strategy to discuss issues concerning the contemporary literary scene. The research corpus was defined by a blog created during the Daniel Galera s stay in Buenos Aires, when he participated in Amores Expressos project, and the novel Cordilheira (2008), written as a result of that experience. By the trajectory of his career in a constant relation with the internet, it was analyzed the construction of writer as character in a blog hosted on the project site, in contrast to the figure of character as writer in the novel. For that, texts on autofiction, performance and authoring were used. Comparing the texts of both supports, similarities and differences in problematizations regarding the author s formation were found. The inclusion of excerpts from the blog in the novel was seen as a strategy that offers complexity of mirroring images and enhances the effects from the novel reading
