O DISCURSO DIALÓGICO EM AS CABEÇAS TROCADAS, DE THOMAS MANN E EM O VERMELHO E O NEGRO, DE STENDHAL.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate how dialogism is presented in Thomas Mann s The Transposed Heads and in Stendhal s The Red and The Black, corpus of this critical evaluation. For this proposed research, we turn to the ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin, specifically those contained in his work Aesthetics of Verbal Creation and also to those of: Beth Brait, José Luís Fiorin, Diana Pessoa de Barros, Ingedore Villaça Koch, Cleudemar Alves Fernandes, Solange Jobim e Souza, Graça Paulino and Vânia Lúcia Menezes Torga. The textual analysis of the works emphasizes dialogism , enunciations , subject formation and the intertextual process, and lends itself to the study of the aforementioned works, as well as of the following complementary works: the sacred Indian text Bhagavad Gita, and the sacred Christian text The Bible. We chose to work with these texts, as they offer the widest variety of examples with regards to the objectives and the purpose of this study. As a result of this research, sections of the original texts were identified and recorded which corroborate our original hypothesis of dialogic interface between the two literary works.
