As tríades do Portunhol Selvagem de Douglas Diegues: entre textos e sujeitos, uma língua poeticamente calculada

Abstract

The present thesis has as its goal to analyse the literary output of Braziguayan writer Douglas Diegues, who constructs his work in an invented language – the Wild Portunhol – which conforms two base languages: Portuguese and Spanish, aggregating Guarani, among other languages. The intersubjective connections promote this process of hybridization (CANCLINI, 2013) in the context of the Triple Frontier and generate identification with the inhabitants and the people who walk by this between-place (SANTIAGO, 2000) which is configured as a conflicted place full of tension, always in a state of devir. From his literary and non-literary work, including interviews and social media posts, especially on Facebook, we construct triads of analysis to interpret and comprehend this double task of writer and creator of a literary language, here studied as the poet calculation (NANCY, 2016). By appropriating the concept of unfinishedness (ZUMTHOR, 1998), the thesis is configured as a patchwork quilt, in which countless pieces compose a work that intends to be welcoming to other voices, so as to confirm the hypothesis that were raised. Therefore, we return to the myth of Babel, conducting a positive reading of a narrative that, historically, has been read negatively. The path traced reveals images (DURAND, 2011, DIDI-HUBERMAN, 2013) and collective imaginations presente on the border, which ressignify Diegues’s work. The author’s performance (ZUMTHOR, 2007) contributes to the reading and the reception (ZUMTHOR, 2007) of his work also constituted in the concept of unfinishedness. Finally, we highlight that the present work is an immersion in the singular universe of Diegues and brings several texts, written of transdelirioused by him, which construct the output of a contemporary author crossed by contradictions of a globalized world and contributing to the transformation of a Latin American literary scenery.
