Efeitos da recepção: a inscrição da literatura de Guimarães Rosa na paisagem de Cordisburgo (MG)

Abstract

The categories of literary spatialities (space, place, territory and landscape) can be understood in diegetic amplitudes, intrinsic to the plot and with essential elements for the development of the narrative, and extradiegetic, by transcending the limits of the worlds represented in the narratives and touching aspects of reality. However, despite the dialectic between them, it is crucial to highlight that diegetic and extradiegetic literary spatialities do not operate in isolation and can establish relationships with each other. With these relationships in mind, we will direct the development of this research towards the extradiegetic understanding of literary spatiality, aiming to highlight the relevance of the reader in literary studies and provide elucidations about literary reception, with emphasis on the theories of Hans Robert Jauss (1994), reception aesthetics, and Wolfgang Iser (1996), reception effect. Thus, the present research aims to understand how the universe diegetically constructed by a writer can be appropriated in the daily lives of residents of the regions that served as an inspirational reference. To achieve this objective, we will investigate and outline hypotheses about how the effect of the literary reception of João Guimarães Rosa's backlands of Minas Gerais reverberates in the daily life and landscape of Cordisburgo (MG), the author's hometown. In this way, we aim to understand if, and how, the physical landscape of Cordisburgo is configured based on the reappropriation of the country universe of the works of Guimarães Rosa, that is, if the writer was inspired by the region he inhabited to build his diegetic universe, now , we want to verify how its contemporary readers, real inhabitants of this territory, appropriate this artistic creation to recreate the landscape through which they travel. The research will go beyond the apprehension of a territorial representation, aiming to understand the effect of the reception of the text in the writer's fellow-citizen society through field research on literary toponyms related to the Rosian legacy (to the author's life or his works ), using and creating a method of analysis that we call toponomastic archeology (which has as its reference the archeology of knowledge by Foucault ([1969]2008) in conjunction with toponomastics). Tracing relationships and analyzes about the literary toponyms inscribed and identified in the landscape of Cordisburgo, we achieved the following results: i) the identification of thirteen literary toponyms from Rosia distributed throughout the city's landscape; ii) the effects of reception reverberating in an extradiegetic and tangible way, learned from inscriptions in the city's landscape, occur with little adherence by fellow citizens and occasionally with place names referring to the author, characters and works; iii) of the toponyms identified, only four are institutions that carry out collective and continuous activities with the objectives of promoting the dissemination of Guimarães Rosa's work and providing knowledge and integration to the community (Museu Casa Guimarães Rosa, Academia Cordisburguense de Letras Guimarães Rosa, Associação dos Amigos do Museu Casa Guimarães Rosa; Biblioteca Pública Riobaldo e Diadorim); four are public places (Praça Miguilim, Portal Grande Sertão, Travessa Guimarães Rosa and bus stop with Loja Sagarana logo); four establishments that refer to Rosiana literature only in name (Loja Sagarana; Auto Posto Guimarães Rosa; Panificadora; Lanchonete Vista Alegre; and Empório Sertão Veredas) and one establishment themed from the context of the interior of Rosia (Restaurante Sarapalha). Thus, we conclude that even though the municipality is recognized as the city in which Guimarães Rosa lived and develops actions related to the perpetuation of his literary legacy, with projects and events, the effects of the reception of this literature in the landscape are punctual, so that it does not we can create generalizations in relation to the construction of a sociocultural identity based on the literature of your fellow citizen.
