As intermitências da monta: uma análise sócio-comparativa entre o livro de José Saramago e a sociedade contemporânea

Abstract

This Final Course Work - TCC contains a research aimed at comparing contemporary Brazilian society and the work <The Intermittency of Death= by José Saramago. The bibliographic research was carried out in order to develop an opinion on individual and collective behavior in light of the social problem presented in the book, the interval of death. In view of this, it seeks a behavioral analysis of the characters, as well as an expectation of such a problem being put on the agenda in contemporary society, considering the social moment of the book's publication, as well as the combination of Saramago's ideology, his social influence on writing. It is also based on Borges' theory of influence, which defends external interference in literary creation, in this case being the book The Intermittency of Death, conditioned by the social moment, as well as the cultural knowledge brought by its writer. From this perspective, the main basis will be the analysis of the characters socially in light of the problem presented, considering Saramago as an influencer of the justified theory of the perspective of eternal life.
