Abstract

This paper discusses the representation of the memory in some narrators of Brazilian novels, of Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha (1909), by Lima Barreto until Diário da Queda (2010), by Michel Laub, focusing on two important issues: the relationship between memory and the awakening of the senses and the appearing of the involuntary memory. Such themes permeate several areas of the hum an knowledge, such as philosophy, anthropology and psychology. Therefore, at the parallel to the way how the discourse of the narrator is prepared, reflecting on reminiscence, this essay also discuss some theoretical assumptions, using intellectuals such as Plato, Aristotle, Paul Ricoeur, Henri Bergson, Marcel Proust, Walter Benjamin, among others.
