METAMORPHOSING SPACES IN THE WORKS OF OSMAN LINS
Leny da Silva Gomes | 05-19

The novel Avalovara, by Osman Lins, is formed by eight themes assigned to the letters R, S, O, A, T, P, E, N. The theme R – e Abel: Encontros, Percursos, Revelações ( and Abel: Encounters, Pathways, Revelations) – challenges the reader especially due to its seriated composition in which fragments of ten micronarratives are juxtaposed. This configuration in series is presented so as to fuse beginning and end, in a temporality marked by a further-closer motion; interior/exterior, in a spatiality marked by the conjunction of opposites and by the corrosion of established limits. In this process, the recovery of a tradition between painting and literature can be seen, accompanied by innovative strategies. Among the series, this article will examine that of the eclipse taken place in November 12, 1966, as viewed from Cassino beach, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Following that, cosmic space was an object of scientific scrutiny with participation and repercussion among the international community. Some data from this process are portrayed in the novel’s space according to media reports at the time, motivating reflections on the differences between scientific and journalistic materials, and the production of fictional texts. The historicized data are deformed in the juxtaposition of the different series, denouncing what is hidden in official reports, which follow the authorities’ view of facts.
