Um pobre menino do destino: a travessia do homem humano como acontecimento poético-apropriativo em Grande Sertão: Veredas

Abstract

The aim of the present research is to understand the voyage of the human man, in The Devil to Pay in the Backlands, by Guimarães Rosa (2015), how to poetic-appropriative event, in other words, a relationship and reference of a mutual and original appropriation that exists between being and man/Dasein, which is revealed to the thinking of oneself as a voyage being, a being at work, a being in search. Therefore, the research responded to a call that the work summoned by manifesting a way for which the researcher puts himself in front of and between this voyage, namely: from an unarmed listening, to think, together with the work, three categories-issues – apprehension-of-affects, trans-turn and circuminscription – which were presented as and from the poetic-appropriative event of the work. In this sense, we seek to question the destined event that needed to happen, Riobaldo facing himself through Hermógenes, which leads to, through a relationship of folds and unfolds, between Riobaldo-narrator and Riobaldo-character, a profound and simultaneous overcoming of an anthropomorphic conception of man and language. The destined event is made possible by the issue that Diadorim is for Riobaldo, because, when beginning itself as a way to be crossed, it opens a way for Riobaldo to be himself, providing and inter-opening the event of the categories-questions, thought together with other issue woven at work in the novel. This way, the categories-questions are one and originate from the poetic-appropriative event of the novel, because they are a renunciation of being given in the world to experience, originally, a life that wants to be lived as a transformation, a real one (apprehension-of-affections), together with the world-reality as the unveiling of issues and the search to be itself (trans-turn), as well as to re-announce what happened, aiming to reach and go to the non-happening that remains hidden in reality (circum-inscription). It is, therefore, Riobaldo who reveals this to us by becoming an image that is continually molded and unmoulded, and which is created to be together with the action/unveilling of issues.
