Pós-modernismo e regionalidade no romance Glaucha

Abstract

This study intents to investigate the postmodernist phenomenon´s aspects in literature through the analysis of the novel Glaucha, by Paulo Ribeiro. It is argued the context that allowed the appearing of this contemporary trend, exploring its condition of continuity and rupture in relation to the movement that preceded it, modernism. The characteristics attributed to the postmodernist trend are explored with the analysis of the novel, standing out the strong presence of the intertextuality and the parody. It is studied also its relation with culture and regional identity concepts, considering the presence of the regionality as a constitutive characteristic of the postmodernist speech.
