As vozes identitárias envolvidas no romance: condução e atualização do texto por receptores de Torto arado, de Itamar Vieira Junior

Abstract

Each literary text is surrounded by identity and cultural voices, which arouses the initial curiosity for carrying out this research, in which we aim to analyze how the identity and cultural voices in Torto arado, by Itamar Vieira Junior, are conducted and updated by readers, receivers of the novel, on the Skoob social network. Our study has as its theoretical axis the Aesthetics of Reception, based on the interaction between author, text and reader in a historical horizon, based on the studies of Jauss (1994), Iser (1979, 1996, 1999) and Zilberman (1989). In addition, it establishes a dialogue with other theoretical strands, such as hermeneutics, investigated by Gadamer (2014) and, from another perspective, by Vattimo (2010), which offer crucial contributions to our research proposal. In the first theoretical chapter, we provide additional information using Martín-Barbero's Mediation Theory (1997) and theoretical contributions that discuss the phenomena of reading and writing, based on Petit (2009). In the following chapter, also of a theoretical nature, we focus on the identity and cultural aspects of the reader in their role as a subject who produces and disseminates information, so that we can diagnose the identity and culture of the contemporary reader when faced with text in the digital context and in the modern era. To this end, we rely on the theoretical studies of Hall (2006) and Woodward (2013), and also examine the theories of Eco (2011), Laraia (2001) and Schmidt (2008). Next, we describe the elements that support our investigations based on the methodological procedures established by the method proposed in Content Analysis, by Bardin (2016), starting from the description of the elements that support our studies, the author Itamar Vieira Junior, the novel Torto arado, focusing on its reception by readers who expressed themselves through their reviews on the Skoob social network. Therefore, we make descriptions and observations about our role as readers of the novel, considering it within the contemporary scenario of cultural and identity formation and, based on this, we guide and organize our analyses, due to the expressive number of reviews and results through the different emphases made by Skoob internet users, in ten subchapters within the chapter dedicated to analyses so that we can verify the results based on the number of words generated in the word cloud designed through a specific program for this purpose, as well as by the predisposition of individual reviews for verification purposes and more detailed analyses. Therefore, from this process of knowledge construction and investigation, the results obtained indicate the reading and reception of the novel by readers with different backgrounds and worldviews, who, when following the paths of the literary text, imprint their interpretations, understandings and applications on it, both during and after the process of conducting and updating the text through reading.
