A América Latina e os latino-americanos nas narrativas de Eva Luna de Isabel Allende

Abstract

This dissertation shows the results of the reach about the narrative written by Isabel Allende in the novel Eva Luna (1987) and on the book Cuentos de Eva Luna (1989). Many authors were called in attempt of the understanding of the writing process of the Chilean author. The way the Latin American and its natives Latino-Americans are represented possible shows an image of reader. We've accomplished a dialogue between the modern classic Walter Benjamin and the post-modern theory introduced by Linda Hutcheon. The historiographic metafiction was adhered to define the gender of the analyzed narratives. We've investigated the use of different forms of intertextuality, showing and evaluating possible influences and source texts. We can think about the presence of the indigenous on the official literature and historiography. We may consider how these textualities influenced in the work of Allend and may influence on the next writers and readers.
