Uma nova composição estrutural e estética em Veias e vinhos, de Miguel Jorge

Abstract

The study developed here aims to examine integral aspects of the composition of the novel Veias e Vinhos (Veins and Wines), from Miguel Jorge. Initially, we analyzed some changes in the way of narrating this work, which breaks with the traditional model and uses innovative narrative techniques, such as multiple voices, different times and spaces that intertwine, focus predominantly inner and the predominance of interspersed narrative. These new narrative techniques reflect, convincingly, floating and fragmented reality that has been on the current narrative. While developing this analysis, we tried to show that the modernist novel has won a new profile, and that the glare of omniscient narration and the linear sequence of events are part of this new model. Its tessitura is made by different narrators, especially those linked to dramatic way, the mental analysis and the monologue. The use of awareness flow (that puts into play the stream of consciousness) procedure also shown here, serves to time an emanating from the interior living of the character and therefore is different from chronological, linear time, that drives the development of actions in the traditional novel. In the fictional universe of Veins and Wines, the focus moves from the outside to the inside world, causing the reading to put us in direct contact with the consciousness of the characters that appear fictionally represented in the work. And what we experience, artistically, are the free associations of ideas, chaotic states of characters with mental disorders, factors that lead to a permanent temporal and spatial fluidity. It is evident in this case that the novel in question exceeds the parameters of a particular perspective, unambiguous and a little dynamic of contemporary life, to fictionalize the metamorphosis, dynamism, the multifaceted and fragmentariness, factors involved in its composition, giving to this work a representative configuration of the current Brazilian literature.
