The loss of spatiality in the novel A morte e o meteoro of Joca Reiners Terron

Abstract

This article aims to analyze questions about the loss of spatiality in the construction of the plot in the work A morte eo meteoro, by Joca Reiners Terron, written in 2019. Narrative in four chapters entitled: Grande Evil; Delete the last name; No more dying and Cosmogony, in it the story is told, which takes place in a future not too distant from the present, in a destroyed Amazon. And that is told to us by a narrator, whose name is not mentioned in the work. During the plot, the spaces and settings are constructed in such a way as to make the reader realize that the total extermination of the indigenous tribe of the Kaajapukugi took place through various interconnected events. For this reading, we take as a basis, in addition to critical and literary concepts related to literary aesthetics, studies referring to space and setting will also serve us, such as Lima Barreto and the novel space, by Osman Lins, Space and novel, by Antônio Dimas, among others.
