Estamos sempre indo para casa: breve análise do inferno provisório, de Luiz Ruffato

Abstract

This task is concerned to, even at a brief form, an analysis on the literary project of Luiz Ruffato, entitled Inferno provisório. It is our aim an ―inclusive criticism‖, which links references of the history, sociology and literary theory in order to elucidate some fiction aspects of the mineiro writer. The task is devided into four chapters. In the first chapters, we intend to analyse the formal aspects of Inferno provisório, like the filiation or not, on the books that compose it at the romance category; the construction of the narrator, lined by the plurality of voices at the construction of the tales and the language modulations carried out by Ruffato adopting what we will name as ―migrant writing‖, a writing lined by constant variation between the formal and colloquial registers. Still in the first chapter, we intend to identify in the title of the literary project (the junction between the terms ―inferno‖ and ―provisório‖) instruments for the interpretation and the critical reflexion around the fictional world created by the author, wich we will name ―fiction reality‖. The three subsequent chapters, will comprehend analysis of six histories in Inferno provisório attempting into reflecting about the possibility of, in these, exists the occurrence of instability between idealization and execution which comprehends the trajectories of the characters created by the author. This instability will act like the main mover of the fiction of Luiz Ruffato and it will consist of an intense play between ideal place and real place, it means, whereas the character aspires to a situational change, the reality which includes her and, consequently, confines her, projects her again into a precarious situation which composes her. In order to authenticate this instability occurrence, we will reflect about the improvement procedures in Latin America, the capturing possibility of the subject by the place it lives in, and the probability of the character created by Ruffato always arrempt into coming back to an unachievable period and, even having its dream denied by reality, never give up searching for a/an (impossible) solution. Taking that into account, we tried reflecting that the strategy of giving voice to the character of worst financial condition through the fiction brings up the emergence of a subjective speech that, based on the social formation of the character and ―fiction reality‖ created by the author, becomes infertile, turning it inert.
