A repartição do eu como estratégia literária: As diversas (inter)subjetividades construídas no conto ‘Borges e Eu’ do escritor Jorge Luis Borges

Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this article, we intend to analyze the process of construction the self as a signification strategy from the literary text that can be seen in the production of the writer Jorge Luis Borges in his text Borges and Me. Faced with this object, we assume as an objective to demonstrate that the literary text can be understood as a privileged space for the representation of certain categories and cognitive operations constituting the human being, such as: construction of oneself (and of the other) - (inter) subjectivity; spatialization; temporalization; and staging. For this, we admit the hypothesis that literary writing, as a process of human aesthetic creation, through the construction of counterfactual scenes, allows the visualization of representations of consciential flows that are difficult to be caught in other types of human production. In order to achieve the proposed objective, we adopt Brandt (2004) as a theoretical framework, as it enables a study on the integrative processes that are structuring the construction of consciousness and memory; and Abrantes (2010), which makes it possible to understand the process of literary analysis from a cognitive perspective.
