Sense geographic location: experiences and experiences of Border River Border Life characters (1965), by Francisco de Assis Almeida Brasil

Abstract

The study of space and place portrayed in literary works presented one subjectivity profile, coupled with the reality that surrounds them, that is, the symbolic characteristics of the place portrayed in fiction. Thus, it appears that literary works describe situations that allow the identification of experiences in different contexts, but that permeates temporal clippings previously established, allowing the reading processes that take place today. This study sees as a general objective to analyze the sense of geographic place, expressed in the daily lives of the characters in Beira Rio Beira Life (1965), literary production Francis Almeida Brazil, from the understanding of the relationship between the characters, the pier and the textual plot. With the literature, one can analyze and understand the geographical space and their categories. Geography, in turn, substantive with the possibility of literary reading of space from the perspective of counted by the novelist's experience, which has a space for him lived and can be replicated to other contexts and spatial situations. The research has a qualitative nature. Was used as methodology the Bardin content analysis technique. This construction relates strongly with the movement of the Beira Rio, especially the pier, the main space of articulation of the characters in the plot. The characters in this story are in Beira Life, marginalized on the dock, seen by the conservative society as a negative side of the city, as people unable to interrelations with other media and "stuck" to the living room on the pier. Before the discussions raised, it is concluded that the development of analyzes that bring together the knowledge generated in different branches of knowledge helps in broadening the perspectives of understanding the dynamics addressed.
