O MEZ DA GRIPPE: A HISTORIOGRAPHIC METAFICTION BY VALÊNCIO XAVIER
Abstract
This article had the pourpose of present an analysis of O mez da grippe, from Valêncio Xavier, under the bias of “historiographic metafiction”, concept created by Linda Hutcheon (1991), that served as theorical-methodological instrument for the analysis. O mez da grippe it’s a narrative that fictionalizes the Spanish flu epidemic that occur on 1918 in Curitiba, having the end of the first World War as background, elaborated through a collage of the most diverse textual genres that circulated at the time. At end, it was verified that Xavier’s narrative presents itself as a pos-modern historical fiction work, an historiographic metafiction, in form and content, due to its experimental language and the way in which it problematizes history.
