Quando a fonte vira personage : análise do livro A vida que ninguém vê da jornalista Eliane Brum.

Abstract

The present work analyzes how the sources of the report book A vida que ninguém vê (2006), written by journalist Eliane Brum, become characters. This work through Brum's texts occurred because of her stories about ordinary people, taking the opposite way of journalism, the nontraditional way, in which the sources are not public or famous people. And it also occurred because Eliane Brum's text presents a narrative with subjective marks, using observation and writing resources from (or inspired by) literature. A literature review was performed, which included the investigation of literary narrative focusing on character and the study of narrative journalism prioritizing the source. Twelve of twenty-three texts from the journalist's analysed book were used for the purpose of the identification and analysis of textual marks that show evidence of the humanization of the narrative by turning the sources into characters. This work indicates that, as soon as the literary art is one of important ways of reflective learning about the human being, Brum's text dialogues with the behavioral issues of human condition because of its approximation with literature.
