Cinzas do norte e órfãos do Eldorado, de Milton Hatoum: vozes narrativas e alteridade na construção das personagens femininas

Abstract

The undertaken analysis is centered on the study of female characters at works Cinzas do Norte and Órfãos do Eldorado, by the Amazonian writer Milton Hatoum, noting how the construction of the female characters takes place, from the perspectives of the narrators and for that, with discussions on voices as well as narrative modalizations, mainly drawing on Genette's studies. Thus, we seek to understand the peculiarities of the characters Naiá, Algisa, Alícia, Ozélia, Ramira, Florita and Dinaura, observing, their voices and their relations with the alterities, having the theoretical support ceded from Beauvoir's thought and the postcolonial studies, with Fanon. It is also emphasized, as the analysis requires, thematic, such as: cultural translation, hybridism, gender categories, memory and identity. In these fictitious women, it is observed the marginal and subordinate character of some of them, the autonomy and independence of others, and the enigmatic particularity of Dinaura, thus constituted by the language used by the narrators. In this way, the literary analysis made it possible to think of the constitution of being as a result of the relations of otherness, due to different perspectives.
