<b>Etnography of alterities in brazilian literature: accesses to the social life in João Gilberto Noll</b> - doi: 10.4025/actascihumansoc.v32i2.8325

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to follow the trajectories of alterities that appear in the relationships constructed in literary writings. The hypothesis presented here is that the traces of socialities are present in these contemporary literary narratives – in this analysis, the texts of João Gilberto Noll. Through an archeological view of knowledge, this work puts in dialogue the knowledges of social sciences and literature, aiming to understand the movements of social life or the narratives that express the outlines of these socialities. I try to show that these literary texts raise the struggles of contemporary social experience. Through them, the multiple voices of counterpoint alterities become present in a crossing of temporalities, nomadisms, in the marks of a “thin geography of the cities”, in a rage of the body, in the oblivion of the social memory in the arenas of alterities that emerge in the present society.
