Abstract

When artistic and cultural forms, produced from the marginal spaces of the official knowledge, not only achieves a traditional readership of the Brazilian society, but they enable the formation of new ones, originating from others social classes, it becomes relevant a analysis that goes beyond the traditional dichotomy of the relationship between the artist/work and the market, and that allows them to reflect the intellectual position of the artist / work in contemporary modern society. Therefore, the present dissertation intends investigate the novel Capão Pecado (FERRÉZ, 2002), work that reveals Ferréz in the contemporary literary scene, identifying the construction of a literary project of fight and resistance, that may interfere in the social and cultural realities of these marginal spaces and its historical subjects. From his first work, Fortaleza da Desilusão (FERRÉZ, 1997), a poetry book with modernist tendencies, it is possible to realize a change in the author’s literary strategy that allows him to extend and achieve his target audience, as well as the elaboration of a literature that establishes a cultural fight, with popular characteristics. Through the sabotage of the aesthetic resources focused on massive public, as the feuilletonistic characteristics and the reproduction of the myth of family ideology in Capão Pecado (FERRÉZ, 2002), Ferréz exposes the contradictions inherent in the dominant ideologies which contrasts it with the multiplicity of voices and consciences that are present in the work, enabling the formation of “the author as producer” (BENJAMIN, 1994).
