A primeirização dos segundos: uma leitura dos personagens secundários em Viva o povo brasileiro

Abstract

It is common for reading certain desperate literary works in readers expectations regarding the actions of their characters, especially in the tasks of their main characters. However, there are narratives that feature many minor characters with more interesting ways of life than the protagonists. When considering a deconstruction of the profile in terms of quality, a need arises to analyze other factors of the narrative that sustain and impel other glances for the literary text from the perspective of the secondary characters. The research proposes an approach to reading literary text from secondary characters, analyzing them in their ways of life, from analyzes of actions that value a power of the poor and of the blacks, through an integrative relation that they put in the foreground as forms of appearance of alterities and ways of coexistence with the most common, political and cultural. The choice of the work Live the Brazilian people is pertinent to intercultural studies, as it provides other interpretative possibilities and questions that allow the deepening of a critical reading about a discursive tradition. In order to delineate the corpus of this research, we will try to present the secondary characters in order to read the ways of life and to make potential of each one, so that, by their ability to surpass themselves, they gain visibility in this novel of João Ubaldo, considering as many of the ambulances of the secondary characters, entering and leaving the plot, in their secondaries of seconds and subordinates of the subalternity, according to Justino (2014, p.189). It is the people, in their most different forms of representation, who are the true "protagonists" of their stories. In this paper we present a review of the work of Spivak (2010), Glissant (2005), Olivieri-Godet (2009), Dalcastagnè (2005), Deleuze and Guattari (2011), Justino (2014), Williams (2014) Oswald de Andrade (1928), (Lígia Chiappini, 2002), Maria Cândida Almeida (2002), Caetano Veloso (2012), in addition to other authors who contributed to sustain the more secondary characters present in the narrative, they are not limited by the social condition or by the ethnic group which they belong, and thus constitute themselves in other ways of being.
