Descrição
Resumo:The present text discusses, based on the novels Confissões de Ralfo (1975) and Um romance de geração (1981), both by Sérgio Sant’anna, ruptures and continuities that marked the period of “political opening” in Brazil regarding the production of a memory around the “64 generation”. We seek here to underline different ways in which history is activated in Sant’Anna’s fiction – sometimes as a set of facts, sometimes as a narrative of witnesses. These different modes, varying according to the time of writing, are based on the continuity of history perceived as a public instructor and bearer of pedagogical purposes.
