Raduan Nassar e a multidão como produção de singularidade

Abstract

We propose a reading of Raduan Nassar that will take place from the perspective of the immaterial production of the Multitude. There are three narratives in our corpus: Menina a caminho (1997), Um copo de cólera (1998) and Lavoura arcaica (1989). This work focus on analyzing in order to show that each character is a Multitude. In summary, the production of singularities not only stages the multitude as a network of individuals who, in many, produce numerous cooperating singularities, but also each character is itself a constituent multitude of distinct subjectivities. Multitude Literature thus applies not only to densely populated works, but to narratives of a single character. Through a detailed analysis of these texts, the various discourses, the relationships of all orders, including the symbolic system of different environments and places, we will show how the advent of the multitude underlies the refusal of imposed identity to bring forth new singularities in their irreducible alterities. The production of singularities operates by breaking with tradition and rebelling against everything that is instituted by the desire to establish the new. We will present a theoretical synthesis of the terms of this dialectic, with emphasis on the way the multitude crosses History. In the tension between autonomy as a characteristic of modernity in the face of conventional precepts, the struggle to build minority consciousness and conquer new territories resists, in most cases, through language and the transgression of norms and values. These analyzes will have as a guiding thread the hypothesis that each body is a multitude configured by singularization processes warned potentially in disproportionate terms, both for their intensity and for their precariousness. This hypothesis gains momentum when a political and sexual fable crosses the axis of fictions to produce singularities similar to the narratives of formation. We will investigate how the characters position themselves, based on what values, desires and even the author's own way of narrating, by retaining certain things, silencing and adding others in the writing. Ideological factors may influence and cover up the author's complicity with his narrators. Indeed, Raduan Nassar's poetics is engaged in the agency of pluralized entries and flows of lines. Hence the characters find themselves in a “traditional” political framework that runs counter to their desire. The production of singularities in struggle with tradition will be analyzed in Lavoura arcaica, particularly due to the impossibility of André corresponding to the identity that his father and, by extension, tradition demand that he belongs. It is in this sense that we consider, therefore, the ubiquity of silence that permeates the works, to question the use of verbal signs that will lead the author to other ways of life and production. Our analysis is guided by the fundamentals of Luciano Justino, Antonio Negri, Michael Hardt, Suely Rolnik.
