| Popis | The beginnings of the literary work of Augusto Abelaira (1926-2003) are part of the new trends in Portuguese narrative in the 1960s, linked to the influence of experimentalism and nouveau roman. In addition, the large number of (de)constructionist, citational and intertextual resources, as well as the use of recurring motifs in variations, correspond to the aesthetics of postmodernism, invoked in relation to Abelaira's work, in general, from the publication of Bolor (1968). In Augusto Abelaira's prose, the use of these resources points to the various levels of meaning that lay bare the frailties of human beings, their permanent search for fulfilment and their anguish at facing a world emptied by habit. This is also why Abelairian prose generally reveals a daily life lived in a hushed manner, without major events, haunted by routine, repetitions of gestures, words and meanings. This communication therefore aims to give voice to some of these Abelairian hauntings, highlighting, from this perspective, the links between the novel Bolor and the short story ‘Quatro paredes nuas’ (Four bare walls, 1972), texts linked, among other things, by the female figure of the same name, Maria dos Remédios. |
