oai:periodicos.ufrn.br:article-189402019-10-29T19:53:24Z Characters in Bakhtin's Theory Os personagens na teoria de Bakhtin Wall, Anthony Witt Mendonça Junior , Jorge Bakhtin Narrative Narrative structure Human figures Text Dialogue Dialogism Character Psychological Psychology Freud Bakhtin Narrativa Estrutura narrativa Figuras humanas Texto Diálogo Dialogismo Personagem Psicológico Psicologia Freud A common focus in many modern theories of literature is a reassessment of the traditional view of the character in a narrative text. The position that this article defends is that a revised conception is necessary for an understanding of the means by which dialogism is said to function in novelistic discourse. Revising the notion does not, however, involve discarding it outright as recent theories of the subject would have us do. Nor can we simply void it of all "psychological" content as suggested by many structuralist proposals. To retain Bakhtin's concept of the notion of character, we must understand the term "psychological" in the context of his early book on Freud. In artificially combining Bakhtin's isolated remarks on the literary character, we arrive at a view which postulates textualized voice-sources in the novel. In such a schema, maximum variability and freedom is afforded to each separate source. Yet we must use the term "separate" with extreme caution, for in Bakhtin's writings all those beings which we might wish to view as separate entities are in fact intricately intertwined and inseparable. Viewing something as absolutely separate implies knowing intimately all of its boundaries and possibilities. This is surely a capacity which Bakhtin would deny us when it comes to human figures in texts. Um foco em comum em muitas teorias modernas da literatura é a reavaliação da perspectiva tradicional do personagem em um texto narrativo. A posição que este artigo defende é que uma concepção revisada é necessária para um entendimento dos meios pelos quais o dialogismo se diz funcionar no discurso romanesco. Revisar a noção de dialogismo, no entanto, não envolve descartá-la por completo, como teorias recentes do assunto nos fariam descartar. Também não podemos simplesmente anulá-la em relação a todo conteúdo “psicológico” como sugerido por muitas propostas estruturalistas. Para manter o conceito de Bakhtin da noção de personagem, nós devemos entender o termo “psicológico” no contexto do seu livro sobre Freud. Ao combinar artificialmente as observações isoladas de Bakhtin sobre o personagem literário, chegamos à perspectiva que postula fontes vocais textualizadas no romance. Em tal esquema, uma máxima variabilidade e liberdade é proporcionada para cada fonte separadamente. No entanto, devemos usar o termo “separadamente” com extremo cuidado, pois, nos escritos de Bakhtin, todos aqueles seres que poderíamos considerar como entidades separadas estão, de fato, intrincadamente entrelaçados e inseparáveis. Considerar algo como absolutamente separado implica conhecer intimamente todos os seus limites e possibilidades. Esta é certamente uma capacidade que Bakhtin nos negaria quando se trata de figuras humanas em textos.

A common focus in many modern theories of literature is a reassessment of the traditional view of the character in a narrative text. The position that this article defends is that a revised conception is necessary for an understanding of the means by which dialogism is said to function in novelistic discourse. Revising the notion does not, however, involve discarding it outright as recent theories of the subject would have us do. Nor can we simply void it of all "psychological" content as suggested by many structuralist proposals. To retain Bakhtin's concept of the notion of character, we must understand the term "psychological" in the context of his early book on Freud. In artificially combining Bakhtin's isolated remarks on the literary character, we arrive at a view which postulates textualized voice-sources in the novel. In such a schema, maximum variability and freedom is afforded to each separate source. Yet we must use the term "separate" with extreme caution, for in Bakhtin's writings all those beings which we might wish to view as separate entities are in fact intricately intertwined and inseparable. Viewing something as absolutely separate implies knowing intimately all of its boundaries and possibilities. This is surely a capacity which Bakhtin would deny us when it comes to human figures in texts. |
