liquid modernity, desire and violence, “O embrulho da carne”, Sérgio Sant’AnnaAbstract
The present work embarks on an ambivalent flight that transports representations of liquid modernity, a metaphor of fluidity of contemporary “existence,” developed by the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman (1925). In such a liquid scenario, human relationships are at the center of attention in the production of contemporary Brazilian art. The purpose of this paper is to highlight themes raised in the complexities of narratives of liquid modernity, such as desire, fear and violence. To this end, we present an interpretation based on the aesthetic-receptional vision of Hans Robert Jauß in the short story “O embrulho da carne”, from the work O voo da madrugada (2003), by the Brazilian writer Sérgio Sant’Anna.
