A memória na construção da identidade cultural em dois irmãos, de Milton Hatoum

Abstract

This paper focus on the way that the novel´s structures Dois Irmãos, of Milton Hatoum, work in a recollection utilization and shows up the cultural identities knocking together. The narrator–character, Nael, invite us to a past didn´t known for him, but that had been told it to him by other characters. This creates a fragmentary differentiation not just between narration past and narrative present, but also the occupied position for the characters in center or on the fringe of the Brazilian society. For studying these memories as narrative structures, we based our work on the Discurso da Narrativa (1995), of Gérard Genette. For its part, we discuss narrative order fragmentation for these memories related to the identity fragmentation. For that, we supported ourselves on A identidade cultural na pósmodernidade, of Stuart Hall (2006).
