"THE BLOOD OF MY LITERATURE IS MY BLOOD, BUT IT IS THE BLOOD OF MANY, MANY, MANY PEOPLE" – INTERVIEW WITH SILVIANO SANTIAGO
Abstract
The interview with the writer Silviano Santiago, conducted for my doctoral thesis (RODRIGUES, 2019), deals with the process of creating the character of Graciliano Ramos, in the work Em liberdade (1981). From the reading of Jacques Derrida’s Mal de Arquivo (2001), we coined the term Gracilian impression in order to search for the traces left by Graciliano Ramos in Silviano’s writing. We found that Gracilian prints are presented as: impression as a mark written on the body –prison; printing as writing – the evil of the archive; Impression as inheritance – the role of the intellectual. Silviano takes the place of the other to talk about himself and adopts the bias of Nietzschean superabundance as an affirmation of life and artistic creation. The writer reflects on the mechanisms of power that underpinned important historical periods in our country and responds to Graciliano, to his legacy, to the impressions left by him, allying himself with his reflections on commitment of the artist.
