“Mire veja”: psychoanalytic mirages and envisages in reading Grande sertão: veredas

Abstract

This study is the intersection of psychoanalytic and literary discourses in reading Rosa’s Grande sertão: veredas. Based on the idea that the subject is revealed only by the language, it is natural to establish the links between literary criticism, psychoanalysis and language. Thus, the text is where we can find the subjectivity so, literary text is seen here as the privileged place of its revelation, through the rhetorical resources. The objective of this paper is to point out a reading of the novel Grande sertão: veredas, by using psychoanalytic instruments.
