A estética do realismo em narrativas brasileiras contemporâneas.

Abstract

This dissertation reflects about the marks of the contemporary brazilian aesthetic of realism in two different forms of narrative: the novel Mundo perdido (2006), by Patricia Melo and the film O homem do ano (2003), by Jose Henrique Fonseca. To achieve the large concept of "realism" we consider a backing theoretical realistic about events stemming from the nineteenth century - with the "scientistic realism" - and on the "neorealism" of the twentieth century, reflected mainly in italian, portuguese and brazilian arts. Before the observation and the analysis of realistic marks in the selected material, we research about the urban realism that is in the contemporary brazilian literature and movie. We determined the basis of theoretical research how the realism is present in Mundo perdido and O homem do ano from the following text elements: subject, time, space and language.
