Única sessão: cultura e tradição no conto “Rolo de Filme”, de Vera Romariz

Abstract

This work has as its object of research the short story Rolo de Filme, by Vera Romariz, published in 2012 in the collection Oito, by Viva Editora, with eight short stories by writers from the current literary scene in Alagoas. The objective of the research is to trace a historical path about the origin of the tale in its most prosaic aspects, in addition to the approach of how the tale from Alagoas has been constituted in contemporary times. The short story is a fictional dimension, but it carries real events, whose narrative is built from a situation, an event. The study of the short story Rolo de filme is justified in view of the believable analysis that runs through the entire plot, as the title itself translates the metaphor of daily events and especially of the ephemeral nature of life. Our research is qualitative, of a bibliographical nature, whose methodology is based on Romarian writing, theoretical intersection, critical fortune, forming the literary text between the links of everyday life and human existence. Single session in the literal sense of the word, because living is intertwined with today. Thus, literature is placed so that we can understand what we are and what we are made for, as the narrator states in the story, when he says that; we saying that; we must be able to edit our own destiny. Thus, we have a writing anchored in literary analysis, taken by theoretical intersections of Reis (1986), Brait (2000), Leite (2007), among other theoretical contributions.
