The revenge of Luis da Silva and the spirit of horde

Abstract

This article seeks to establish dialogues between Angústia, by Graciliano Ramos, and Dialética do esclarecimento, by Adorno and Horkheimer, reasoned by a conceptual that joins the discourse, society and the subject, all placed in their historical context. In this dialogue – a concept by Bakhtin (1895-1975) – between the author with his characters, the characters with themselves in the plot among and the work with its historical context, we aimed to demonstrate the Graciliano Ramos‘ability to make his work with the feeling and the values of his time and at the same time, to make it universal and for posterity.
