<b>Simulacrum and negativity: the intertextuality on Dalton Trevisan’s Em Busca de Curitiba Perdida <em>(Searching for Lost Curitiba )</em></b> - DOI: 10.4025/actascihumansoc.v28i1.179
Abstract
The contemporary/ postmodern cultural phenomena are usually characterized by the ironic and playful relationship (intertextuality) with the past and present cultures and by denying future planning. These aspects configure simulacra/hyper -realities, representations free from referential reality whose themes are, many times, linked to repres entation itself. On such aspects, the short story Em Busca de Curitiba Perdida (Searching of Lost Curitiba ), by the Brazilian writer Dalton Trevisan , is notable: by means of its intertextuality with the roman-fleuve À La Recherche du Temps Perdu (Searching for Lost Time), by the French writer Marcel Proust, Trevisan’s text questions Proust’s utopist union between art and life, creating a simulacrum whose base is, paradoxically, its own i mpotence.Downloads
