A Representação da mulher e a formação do imaginário fronteiriço na prosa de ficção de Hélio Serejo

Abstract

The aims of this research is to analyze the figure of protagonists women in narratives, set in the border scenario illustrated by the writer of South-Mato Grosso Hélio Serejo (during the cycle of yerba mate), in the period of 1883-1947. It is proposed, therefore, to approach the theme about the presence of women in the texts of Hélio Serejo, searching to extract the life stories observed through the regional culture of the border Brazil-Paraguay, considering the expressive thematic of the woman as protagonist in the writer's stories. In this way, a corpus is imposed according to its diversity, as well as the theoretical-critical perspective: this corpus selected is made up of the serejianas stories: Caraí Ervateiro (1990), Homens de Aço (1946), Nhá Chaló (2008), Heróis da Erva (1987), Vento Brabo (1971), 4 short stories (1939). The proposal is justified by the originality of the approach, as well as by its relevance to the line of Regional Cultural and Intercultural Studies of the Graduate Program in Literature. The methodological perspective will contemplate studies on the regional context, in observance of the "place", as well as the foundations of critical regionalism, hybridity and, mainly, the modalization of the historic fiction. For this, the critical theoretical support comes from authors such as Carvalhal (2000), (2003), Canclini (2015), Cosson (1998), Moreiras (2001), Santos (2017), Silva (1984), Weinhardt (2004), (2006), (2011a), (2011b).
