Passeios hamletianos na contemporaneidade: narrativa metaficcional.

Abstract

The metafiction - literary phenomenon in which the narrative draws attention to itself, emphasizing its status as an artifice - reflects the words of Julio Cortázar in the essay Do sentimento de não estar de todo when designating as “pequenos passeios hamletianos" the reflections that his narratives propose about the literary language and the textual experiments through which the author puts the literary discourse in check, exposing its vulnerabilities through the insertion of the critical discourse in the middle of the text. The present work intends to propose an analytical reading of the metafictional construction dynamics in the narrative. Taking into account the theoretical positions of Linda Hutcheon, Patricia Waugh, Robert Stam, Mark Currie, Gustavo Bernardo Krause, among others, it is also tried to highlight the recognition and understanding of the metafictional procedures as fundamental to the process of attribution of meaning to the mentioned manifestations texts.
