RESUMO:

South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee, when publishing Disgrace in 1999, offered humanity the aesthetic articulation of a significant range of knowledge and experience. This fact impacted and motivated us to choose the work as an object of research. José Rubens de Siqueira translated the novel into Portuguese - Desonra - by Companhia das Letras. The objective of this study is to analyze how the aesthetic aspects conform in Desonra (2000), considering the tragic, the cultural shock, speciesism and the body in the narrative set. The analytical path tended to interpret the aesthetic of the Coetzeean novel, guided by a tragic sensitivity, that is, we did not force the imposition of knowledge and theories on the approach taken. On the contrary, we allow the artistic work to reverberate the pertinent knowledge to the interpretative process, and we articulate them in search of establishing an understanding of the higher unity of Desonra. The theoretical framework related to the tragic, based on Friedrich Nietzche, Raymond Williams among others, focused on the other aspects of the novel, catalyzing its central issues. Thus, we used authors of literary theory such as Mikhail Bakhtin, Antonio Candido, Norma Friedman and others to address the structural elements of the narrative, postcolonial theorists to understand the representative figures of the novel, and authors from other theoretical fields such as Michel Foucault, Zygmunt Bauman, Peter Singer, Melanie Joy, David Le Breton among others, to reflect on the various contents inscribed in the artistic universe of Desonra. The forms of articulation of knowledge indicated how the tragic process takes place in the novel, making it possible to visualize a path of transformation of the protagonist, David Lurie, in a tragic sense.
