Belmiro Borba, espião de si: considerações sobre o diário ficcional de Cyro dos Anjos

Abstract

Starting from the writings of Lejeunne, Blanchot and Foucault on the autobiographic modalities, in its interfaces with the diaristic sort and other literary variants of the `written of itself' (confession, memory, certification), this thesis focuses the fictional diary of Cyro dos Anjos, O amanuense Belmiro (1937), narrative in which the problematic ones of a citizen constitute the object of the fictional story. Belmiro Borba is a broken up hero, idea that if goes forming for the discontinuous articulation of the facts told in the Daily one, always cut by fantasies, literary and philosophical digressions. Parallel to this content more dream than facts, the commentaries are numerous on the personages who compose the planetary system of the protagonist. The exploration of two recurrent metaphors in the development of the narrative (astronomical landscape and movements) revealed operative, in the direction to understand the fictional process and to describe the aesthetic project of the workmanship. The analysis of the contents (factual and images) and of its implications in the diegetic organization led the evidence of that the romance is marked by the dialectic interiority/exteriority, as much how much for an artistic elaboration that places the workmanship as paradigmatic of `written of itself', in Brazilian literature
