A estrutura de poder e as estratégias de controle no romance distópico Desta terra nada vai sobrar a não ser o vento que sopra sobre ela

Abstract

The dystopic ambient Of this land nothing will be left, except for the wind that blows over her (2018), of Ignácio de Loyola Brandão, is permeated by a despotic relationship in the government's relationship with citizens, from the social manipulation emanated by the authoritarian power. The problem is that the excessive use of power is used in a disorderly way over a large number of people, negatively affecting the population. This leads them to slavery, pain and sadness, having the freedom, which is proper to the human disposition, tyrannically curtailed. The hypothesis, then, is that dystopia serves as a social tool for denouncing situations that are often not perceived by the subjects of a society. In this sense, the thesis is that the characters' relationship, from the context of the work, denounces everyday situations that trample freedom, prevent the use of reason, and consequently, of collective action, a situation that breaks the notion of living in society, observing the situations that condition the behavior of individuals within a degrading environment. The research is based mainly on the works of Moylan (2016), Suvin (2015), Arendt (1989), Jouvenel (2010), Montesquieu (1973), Durkheim (2007) and others, which based on data empirical studies on everyday situations develop ideas about the organization of the multiple control mechanisms that squander the physical, psychological and mental autonomy of individuals in an unbalanced society. Therefore, the objective of the research is to analyze these social relations, permeated by the imbalance of power and manipulation between the government and the citizens from the point of view of the narrator who describes the different situations.
