A vida ficcional dos Objetos Turbulentos de J. J. Veiga

Abstract

From the analysis of the theoretical thoughts of Roberto Esposito, Remo Bodei and Bill Brown, we see that, in a daily basis, human beings establish with things a relationship of possession and dominance. Through a theoretical perspective that rise from the ideas of Heidegger, passing through Viktor Chklovski, it is possible to allege that our plastered gaze reduces the things into objects, saving up our energies in favor of a perceptive automatism. In Objetos turbulentos: contos para ler à luz do dia (1997), from José J. Veiga, each story explores the turbulent relation between the character and certain object from his prosaic reality. This research had the objective of analyzing the paths from which literature becomes a propitious place for the objects to exceed their utilitarian function and get to manifest themselves as things, reconfiguring their relationship with people.
