Realizou-se um percurso de crítica literária baseada nas quatro razões apresentadas por Descartes. cartesiana Meditações Metafísicas (2000) e poemas drummondianos selecionados a partir da convergência de temas ou figuras com a referida obra. Sendo assim, foi utilizada uma abordagem comparativa entre o trabalho estético presente na obra. Uso da razão e busca subjetiva podem ser menos díspares do que o supõe o senso comum. In order to try to offer a plausible contextual background to the presence of medialities, I mention Wolff’s engagement in an attempt to revive realist poetics (what has been termed “Dirty Realism”), but end up suggesting that a deeper meaning of the protagonist’s childhood memory has to do with the unexpectedness of unmediated presence.ĭescartes e Drummond, em suas propostas de observação e elaboração do mundo, aparentemente tão diferentes, aproximam-se no zelo estético, na construção de imagens que vivificam conceitos na compreensão da realidade.

The strange musicality inherent in the faulty grammar of a child in the critic’s childhood carries the symbolic weight of the story. In this chapter, I attempt to demonstrate that sound and music (surprisingly perhaps, in a short story about a literary critic), actually play the leading roles in the text. However, when focusing on the presence and function of medialities in the text, another plot becomes visible. Tobias Wolff’s short story “Bullet in the Brain,” a deeply ironic version of a near-death experience, can be read as a modernized version of Hemingway’s “The Killers,” and it has also been read as an optimistic-but at the same time sentimental-tale about the unspoiled roots of a cynical critic.
