Espaço e memória em contos de Ricardo Ramos.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the short stories “Terno de Reis” and “A mancha na sala de Jantar”, by Ricardo Ramos, who is the son of a great novelist, Graciliano Ramos. Our analysis is focused, respectively, on the memory and the space, which are important in the construction of meaning of these. Besides, we present some information about the author Ricardo Ramos and his literary style, trying also to discuss about the two works which we extracted the short stories studied here, focusing on the linguistic resources identified as common in both works: Terno de Reis (1957) and Matar um homem (1992). Through our research, we study the memory and the space, both because they are essential for the understanding and the short stories’ analysis, as they are elements understudied in scientific research, making it necessary to theorize and apply them in narrative contexts. Likewise, we tried to contemplate Ricardo Ramos, an author that is understudied, but who deserves his literature to be well-known and recognized for its contribution to the Brazilian Literature. For this research, we study Bosi (1994), Catroga (2001), Barbieri (2009), Candido (1993) and Dimas (1987)
