Tese sobre o conceito de estória em Guimarães Rosa

Abstract

The present article seeks, in light of discussions about the concept of "estória" in the works of Minas Gerais writer João Guimarães Rosa, to investigate how this notion of "estória" as an anecdotal counterpoint to history is appropriated in the author’s work. It also aims to engage with the complexities surrounding the concepts of "estória" and history, drawing on the shift introduced by historian Reinhart Koselleck, a prominent thinker in the field of humanities in the 20th century. From the German historian's perspective, history and fiction intertwine in the practice of both the historian and the literary creator, as seen in Rosa’s work. To this end, we position the concept of "Pulsão de Ficção," coined by Suzi Frankl Sperber, as a tool that allows us to think about the interaction between fiction and reason.
