A presente dissertação centra-se na análise da questão da identidade pessoal e do orientalismo no romance histórico O Rio das Pérolas (2017), de Isabel Valadão, cuja narrativa se desenrola dos anos 1940 a 1960 em Macau. Procura-se perceber o modo como a identidade – em particular da personagem principal (Maria/Mei Lin) – se constrói e evolui ao longo do livro, em relação com as diferenças sociais e culturais existentes no território. Pretende-se ainda observar como os estereótipos relativos ao Oriente dão vida à trama, pela alta carga de exotismo. Para fazer estas leituras, apoiamo-nos em Stuart Hall e Edward W. Said, entre outros teóricos que refletiram sobre essas questões, também na sua convergência com o género literário escolhido pela autora.
The core issue of this dissertation is the analysis of personal identity and orientalism on the historical novel, O Rio das Pérolas, (2017) by Isabel Valadão, whose narrative takes place in Macao between 1940 and 1960. It aims to understand how identity - particularly the one of the main character (Maria/Mei Lin) – is built and developed throughout the book, and its relation with the social and cultural existent differences in the territory. It also aims to examine how oriental stereotypes, highly rich in exoticism convey liveliness to the plot. This study is based on Stuart Hall and Edward W. Said’s theories, among other theoreticians that have reflected on these matters and their connection to the literary genre chosen by the author.
