REPRESENTATIONS OF URBAN SPACE IN THE CATASTROPHE OF CESIUM 137 IN PÃO COZIDO DEBAIXO DE BRASA, BY MIGUEL JORGE
Carla Reis de Oliveira; Ozíris Borges Filho | 16-34
This work presents an analysis of the literary work by the writer Miguel Jorge entitled Pão cozido debaixo de brasa, to identify how the author erected the city and the characters, and how these represent the facts about the tragedy of Cesium 137, happened in Goiânia in september of 1987, given that, in this year of 2017, the 30th anniversary of the fateful event is completed. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to recall the drama experienced, in order to not let it fall into oblivion. The methodology used is the topoanalysis of Borges Filho, together with the theoretical contribution of Certeau, Gomes, Candido, among others. Thus, we bring to light issues that show how urban space is an essential element for the presentation of the actions and the totality of the facts that occur within the narrative. However, this place also characterizes the society that lives in it and leads memories of past events, so it will be possible to observe that the place evidences historical events represented by the work of fiction.
Keywords: Space; City; Memory; Topoanalysis.
