RISCOS DO TRAÇO E DO OLHAR NAS NARRATIVAS-LIMIAR DE GUIMARÃES ROSA E GLAUBER ROCHA

From the concept of threshold, the presente work analyses the strategic narratives of the novel Grande sertão: veredas by João Guimarães Rosa and the film Deus e o diabo na terra do sol by Glauber Rocha, evaluating the destabilising effects that these threshold-narratives exercise on the contemporary notions of time, space and identity. Using the concept of cinematic cutting as image of thought, metaphor of the threshold, it examines the tension established by narrators that stand between verisimilitude ordering of a continuous narrative and the wandering of a narrative established under the subversive action of simulacrum, responsible for establishing the non-chronological time, the de-territorialized space and the paradoxical identity. In order to better reflect on this tension between verisimilitude and simulacrum, it also analyses some tales of the book Primeiras estórias de João Guimarães Rosa, the novel PanAmérica by José Agrippino de Paula and the films Psycho by Alfred Hichtcock, A Idade da terra and O dragão da maldade contra o santo guerreiro by Glauber Rocha, besides Run Lola run by Tom Tykwer, establishing a dialogue between the narrative strategies of these works and the threshhold-narrative of Grande sertão: veredas and Deus e o diabo na terra do sol. It concludes that the moving character of a threshold-narrative develops itself by the deviation of the simulacrum in processes of deterritorialization which refer to an incessant agencing between coding and decoding signic strategies.
