Abstract

This master's degree dissertation looks for to understand the political and literary expression produced by Pessach: Carlos Heitor Cony crossing. It is treated of a committed romance politically that was bound initially in 1967. Through their characters' conflict the work approaches a typical dilemma of the sixties and 70: the engagement in the armed combat against the dictatorship. In that sense, the work relates the historical context with Cony's literary production, looking for to identify in the narrative elements that it composes partner-cultural aspects of the years 60. That involves the author's professional path, the process of artists' typical political engagement and intellectuals, the armed combat of sections of the left, the retaliation of Party Brazilian Communist to the romance Pessach and the reception of the work in the Brazilian press of the sixties and 90. The interdisciplinaridade proceeds as essential base for that research. In that way we based our perspectives in the methods of the New cultural history, for understanding that slope as a vast field that offers us contributions to compose the proposed relationships.
