| Resumo: | This work consists in an analysis of the novel The Brothers, by Milton Hatoum (2000), focusing on the space construction in the narrative. We aim to comprehend the relation between the protagonists’ house and twentieth century manauara society. The hypothesis is that the house materializes the family’s rise and fall in terms of social status throughout the novel. Besides that, the domestic space’s internal arrangement would reflect the stratification of the society as it is portrayed in the book. Thus, each character’s standing in the community would be associated with their position in the house. Therefore, this work aims to articulate literature and society, adopting Antonio Candido (2014) as our central theoretical support. The discussion on literary space is based on the works of Luís Alberto Brandão (2013), Antonio Dimas (1987), Carlos Reis and Ana Cristina Lopes (1988), Gaston Bachelard (2008) and Osman Lins (1976). To address the historical context referred to in the novel, we employ the studies of Benito Petraglia (2017), Ana Maria Daou (2000), Antonio Mantovani (2009), Selma Mascagna (2015) and Juliane Welter (2010). The research confirms the reading hypothesis and demonstrates that the house may be interpreted as a representation of the society of Manaus of that period, given that there is an identity relation between the family’s status and the state of the house, as well as the latter’s arrangement reflects the hierarchy of each character’s standing. Therefore, the space is confirmed as a key element of Hatoum’s novel, constituting the genesis of the narrative itself. |
