Memória e Resistência: A Ditadura Brasileira em K. – Relato de uma Busca, de Bernardo Kucinski

Abstract

In this study, we propose an analysis of K. – relato de uma busca (K. - a search report), by Bernardo Kucinski. In our reading, we privilege aspects aimed at recovering the memory of the post-64 Brazilian military dictatorship. The novel in question tells the story of K., a father who searches for his mysteriously missing daughter in 1974. Based on the understanding that the author uses a strong substratum of reality to write his narrative, we developed a study that is attentive to aesthetics and to the testimonial nature of the book. To do so, we used the theory of memory proposed by Maurice Halbwachs and Ecléa Bosi, essays by Márcio Seligman-Silva on testimony literature and Alfredo Bosi's reflections on literature as a possible form of resistance.
