A recepção paradoxal de Milan Kundera no Brasil sob a ótica da Epistemologia do Romance

Abstract

The Epistemology of Romance shows a special interest in authors who present as a result of the creation works originating from a reflexive gesture whose lines tell the reader that the literary novel is an aesthetic construction oriented, not only by sensitive inspiration, but also by the writer's work and objective awareness. To the Epistemology of Romance, both work and reflection will be measured and developed in fictional space according to the novelist's intentions. When resuming one of the basic propositions that guide the epistemological studies of the novel regarding the exercise theoretical-critical approach to literary narratives - a careful look at rationality and intentionality of the writer -, I find conditions to expose here an attempt to account for a long research path that made the Czech writer Milan Kundera an important literary and theoretical reference in the scope of the research works of Epistemology of Romance. To account for the intended reflections, I start specifically with the controversies about the Kunderian reception in Brazil.
