A instabilidade enunciativa em Hilda Hilst

Abstract

Literary works like Hilda Hilst's are constructed through the multiplication and fragmentation of enunciative categories, giving them the effect of a nonexistent, disorganized, or transitory point of view. The narrative text in the author's work is marked by the deconstruction of an organized perspective, which gives the text a discursive effect of actual enunciation. To delve into the mechanisms responsible for this effect, this thesis aims to investigate the linguistic resources that account for the effect of enunciative instability and establish a simulacrum of the fragmented enunciation in Hilda Hilst's prose, more specifically in Rútilo Nada, A obscena Senhora D, and Kadosh. This research takes as its theoretical-analytical basis the Discursive Semiotics. To surround the concept of point of view, we use concepts based on the works of Bertrand (2003), Fontanille (1989, 2011) and Prado (2013). For the concept of enunciation, Greimas (1974), Bertrand (2003), Fiorin (1996), Fontanille and Zilberberg (2001). Also Bakhtin (2010), Kristeva (2012), Rosenfeld (1996), Greimas (2002) and Inácio (2018), to discuss the constitution of the literary object. We believe that the enunciative structure, in which the arrangement of the categories of person, time and space results in a discursive effect of enunciation in act. This effect is achieved through the use of disordered phrases, complex figurative constructions, and the imprecision of enunciative categories, generating a simulacrum of chaotic and disordered thought. This effect of enunciative fragmentation is regulated by the establishment of an agreement between enunciator and enunciatee in which there is a presumption of unintelligibility in order to favor sensitive aesthetics as opposed to intelligibility.
