O Mar Paraguayo e o suruvu translíngue de uma memória marafa

Abstract

Mar Paraguayo, one of Wilson Bueno's best known works, projects itself narratively from the testimony of a rather peculiar character, the marafona of the beach resort of Guaratuba. This confession, a mixture of mnemonic images, traps of memory, a mixture of deceit, disguise and poetic proliferation extends throughout the text in a particular language, a translanguage forged between Portuguese, Spanish and words-valise in Guarani and Yopará. In this text, we raise some considerations about this narrative expedient from concepts like translinguism, recollection or migrant discourse in authors like Elena Palmero Gonzales, Aleida Assmann Cornejo Polar, Jean Luc-Nancy and Octavio Paz.
