Anatomia da elipse: a presença de Gilberto Freyre na obra de João Guimarães Rosa

Abstract

This work, in the wake of the discussions that concern the paradoxes of literary nationalism, intends to look into the works Casa-Grande & Senzala and Grande Sertao: Veredas, the first of Gilberto Freyre, published in 1933, the second, published in 1956, of João Guimarães Rosa. The analysis horizons that guide the work and finally juxtapose in a paradoxical unity and interrogative can be summarized in the following questions: 1) To what extent the work of Guimarães Rosa deals with the first romantic question of establishing a national literary identity(?); 2) To what extent realized in Grande Sertao: Veredas the presence of a "Freyrean architecture" of Brazilian identity - namely the Casa Grande as a regulator of relations in the backlands (?).
