THE CANCELLATION OF THE ORDER AND THE DESCRIPTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN ARCHAEIC TASTE, BY RADUAN NASSAR

Lavoura Arcaica; Tradition; Narrator; Memory; Stream of Consciousness

This research aims to present a possibility of reading the commitment that the writer Raduan Nassar had with the patriarchal tradition in the contemporary novel Lavoura Arcaica (1975). 

To do it, the concepts of narrator and memory are explored to understand the configuration of the main character, who is also the narrator, by means of his first person utterance, infested with digressions, he turns over his father's speeches in search of incongruities, or some form of confrontation with the patriarchal tradition imposed on him. Nassar used a technique in which André's narration is made from memory. 

Thus, these reminiscences are put to justify the removal of the protagonist from the family sphere, because of the authoritarian creation that the father imposed and that he vehemently condemned. 

Through these memories André seeks to escape the limits of family genealogy, denouncing and supporting himself in a narrative in which the flow of consciousness appears through the technique of the inner monologue, exposing the inner issues of the main character. Bosi (1994), Benjamin (1994), Candido (1951), Ginzburg (2012) and Sedlmayer (1997) will be the theoretical basis of this study,

 thinking about the narrator, memory, tradition and the stream of consciousness.
