"Júlia, minha amiga". Imaginário, duplo e identidade em Sem Nome, de Helder Macedo

Abstract

Helder Macedo again brings in his fourth romance, Sem Nome (2005), the technique to mix reality and fiction. Relative truths and historical facts pass to the narrative; personages and situations are create, in a context of agreement of the romance as ambivalent. Showing the man contemporary and the abysses on which he balances himself, the romance considers, despite this, a freedom of choice and participation in the world. For the Feher's perspective of the current epic, the ambivalences of Sem Nome (2005), that they intervene with the construction of the protagonist Júlia de Sousa, they are three, and they constitute the object of this work. The first one of them is the interaction real and imaginary, contemplating the likely, but deceptive tone of the writer when composing the ficcional narrative. The second ambivalence portrays the thematic one of the double one, where Júlia is equal and different to the other personage, Marta, in a game of the trip in the time (BRAVO, 1998). The third ambivalence deals the identity for the recognition of the being that simple is and the being that construct itself in function of the others, that is, the identity like idem and ipse (RICOEUR, 1991). The recognition that Júlia makes of herself passes for elements of the recent history of Portugal and for the visualization of the problematic one of the construct/demolish of the identities.
