A personagem Dinaura, de orfãos do Eldorado: vozes narrativas e alteridade na construção do enigma da feminilidade

Abstract

This article discusses how the character Dinaura, belonging to Milton Hatoum's Órfão do Eldorado, is constructed by the narrative voice and by the perspectives of the characters who, with her, participate in the plot. Thus, the relations of alterity and the influence of these relations on the constitution of this character are observed. In addition, it is noted how Dinaura and the other orphans set in this novel relate to ethnic and religious alterities in cultural, linguistic and belief negotiations, while portraying the consequences of colonization in the modern period, such as the translation process cultural relations present in these relations, which are of postcolonial subjects. Thus, it is based on the conceptions of Fanon (1968, 2008), Burke (2009), Beauvoir (2016) and Genette (1989), among others.
