Abstract(s)
O tema da viagem é frequente na literatura de José Saramago. Neste trabalho,
analisam-se as obras A Jangada de Pedra (1986) e A Viagem do Elefante (2008) para
tentar identificar os vários tipos de viagem que nelas se podem encontrar. A viagem,
aqui entendida como percurso transformador do indivíduo, realiza-se em duas
dimensões: num plano interior, em que o Eu se vai transformando à medida que
vivencia os acontecimentos externos, e de um ponto de vista exterior, em que o Eu se
depara com o Outro e entre os dois se estabelecem diferentes tipos de relação. Por isso,
este trabalho reflecte sobre a confluência dos movimentos interno e externo no
indivíduo, sendo a evolução pessoal do mesmo encarada como uma viagem permanente.
Pelas afinidades temáticas com os dois romances referidos, a dissertação debruça-se
ainda, e com alguma demora, sobre o escritor/viajante de Viagem a Portugal (1981).
ABSTRACT: The topic of travel is recurrent in José Saramago’s literary work. In this dissertation, both The Stone Raft (1986) and The Elephant’s Journey (2008) are analysed with the purpose of identifying the different kinds of journey found in these two books. The journey, perceived here as a transformative process of the individual, is approached from two different vantage points: an internal one, in which the Self undergoes transformation as he experiences external events, and an external one, in which the Self faces the Other, both establishing different relationships with each other. Thus, the dissertation muses upon the confluence between these external and internal movements in individuals, the personal evolution of the Self being considered as an ongoing journey. Due to the thematic affinities with the two novels above-mentioned, the writer/traveller in Journey to Portugal (1981) will also be duly taken into account.
