Uma pesquisa sobre "Meu tio o iauaretê" de Guimar es Rosa: passos iniciais

This article informs the first steps into the research I have been carrying on about the long short story “Meu tio o iauaretê”, by Jo o Guimar es Rosa. Although the researcher claims to be leading a sociological, historical and political interpretation, it was not cast away the text’s genetics, as shows its opening movement: an examination of the author’s manuscripts at IEB/USP. Nevertheless, this study assumes literary form as the taking of a position towards the contradictions of the social process. Furthermore, the research defends the idea that the unbalanced conversation, the narrative pattern also present in other texts by the same author, tackles Brazilian inequalities issue understanding and criticizing it all at once.
