THE MARKS OF TIME IN LAVOURA ARCAICA

Abstract

Lavoura arcaica, by Raduan Nassar, has in time the substance that gives its form: whether in the time the tillage speaks to us, either in the control to which it is subjected, or in the rhythm provoked by the disposition of words in the literary text. Transported to the cinema by Luiz Fernando Carvalho with the title Lavour'Arcaica, the film has an organic relationship with the book. Thus, the reflexive effort of this article is to analyze, in the dialogue between the two works, the marks of time in Lavoura arcaica. From some of Michel Foucault's (1987) perceptions about disciplinary power, at first, we will address the presence of domesticated time, which can be glimpsed by the discipline imposed by the family patriarch. In a second moment, we will analyze the time of the images made up in favor of the narrative from the imagetic construction of the film.  Finally, it is discussed the clash between the character André and his father from the perspective of a tragic duel established between different temporalities.
