The language of violence and its narrative developments

In the midst of the multiplicity of the contemporary Brazilian literary field the mark of realist aesthetics has not been erased. On the contrary it survives in many narratives along with the incorporation of mass communication languages representing a worldview marked by the re-symbolisation of violence - since the symbolisation of violence means a discursive tool for dealing with it. In this book we start from the perspective of academic criticism to propose a reading of the novel Eu recebia as piores notícias dos seus lindos lábios (I would get the worst news from your beautiful lips) by writer Marçal Aquino. The narrative proposes a fictional world based on hostile reality and permeated by intermedia codes capable of generating a performative experience of language and a relationship with the real through impact. The aim of this study is to understand how this impact of violence occurs and the narrative developments that take place in the Romanesque universe.
