O riso literário na obra de Adriana Falcão
Abstract
The work of contemporary Brazilian writer Adriana Falcão is strongly permeated by several literary resources that lead to laughter, such as exaggerations, ironies, jokes, comedy, breaks of expectations and stereotypes, humor, the play on words, language games, laughable characters, etc. This leads us to affirm that the author uses literary laughter, here understood as that produced from a literary writing, derived from the subjectivity of the writer. To understand how this occurs, we tried to think of two of these elements from the novel Luna Clara and Apolo Onze(2002), namely: the laughability of the words and the laughability of the characters. For this, we will use Henri Bergson (1991) as a theoretical framework to think about laughter and these elements. It is an exploratory study, seeking to show how laughter is constituted in the work under analysis; qualitative, with evaluative results; bibliographic and comparative.
