Jurubatuba, de Carmo Bernardes: espaço romanesco, transcriação e ecocrítica

Abstract

Among all the elements of the narrative, space is the one that has been least analyzed by critics, who often consider it as an idea to fill in the plot. We will demonstrate that, in Carmo Bernardes's novel, there is a translation from ecological aspects to artistic ones, as Ramiro relates to them, valuing their conservation, identifying with them and establishing a symbiotic relationship. The present work investigates the Romanesque Space as a transcreated element from an ecocritical vision in Jurubatuba. This transcreation process, similar to an impressionist painting, puts the novel in question and its author as leaders of the environmental debate in Brazilian literature produced in Goiás. Jurubatuba is the first novel by Carmo Bernardes, published in 1972. This is the story of Ramiro Antunes Martins de Novaes. Narrator-protagonist, who unhurriedly takes us to know his story - which, if only transformed into information, would lose all its essence. During this saga, the Romanesque space is presented as if it were a moving picture, highlighting the character of environmental enhancement
