Departamento de Letras, Instituto de Ci?ncias Humanas e Sociais, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.Esta disserta??o tem como objetivo analisar o romance Nove Noites de Bernardo Carvalho. Baseado em fatos reais, Nove Noites conta a hist?ria de um antrop?logo americano que se matou na d?cada de 1930 no Brasil, enquanto pesquisava os ?ndios Krah? do alto Xingu. Um jornalista tenta, sessenta e dois anos depois, descobrir o que levou Buell Quain a se matar. Em contrapartida, h? a narra??o de Manoel Perna, confidente do antrop?logo, que guardou consigo durante anos o peso do segredo a respeito do suic?dio de Quain. Partindo do enredo do livro, pretende-se analisar a rela??o estabelecida entre mem?ria e narrativa, ? medida que as narrativas s?o rememora??es sobre o passado de Quain, interseccionadas ? mem?ria dos pr?prios narradores. Ser? feita an?lise dos modos composicionais da obra, com o objetivo de apreender a forma da qual a mem?ria ? representada. Por interm?dio da investiga??o do panorama, a denominada fic??o contempor?nea, que delimita as condi??es de produ??o de Nove Noites, ? poss?vel entrever a escolha tem?tica e as caracter?sticas gerais das t?cnicas empregadas na narrativa, para ent?o ser realizado um estudo das singularidades de Nove Notes enquanto g?nero, o romance, e narrativa. Atrav?s de uma profusa intertextualidade, o sexto romance de Bernardo Carvalho problematiza os limites que separam a realidade da fic??o. Com isso, procura-se verificar como a pr?pria trama encara as rela??es entre os discursos que praticam a verdade e o discurso ficcional, percebidos como representa??o da mem?ria e da imagina??o.This dissertation aims to analyze the novel Nine Nights by Bernardo Carvalho. Based on real facts, Nine Nights tells the history of an American anthropologist who killed himself in the 1930s in Brazil while researching the Krah? Indians of the Upper Xingu. A journalist attempt, sixty-two years later, to find out what drove Buell Quain to commit suicide. On the other hand, there is the narration of Manoel Perna, friend and confidant of the anthropologist, who kept for years the weight of the secret about Quain's death. Starting from the plot of the book, it is intended to analyze the relation established between memory and narrative, as the narratives are remembrances about Quain's past, intersected with the memory of the narrators themselves. An analysis will be made of work's compositional modes, with the aim of apprehending the form in which memory is represented. Through the investigation of the scenery, the so-called contemporary fiction, which delimits the conditions of production of Nine Nights, it is possible to glimpse the thematic choice and the general characteristics of the techniques employed in the narrative, so then to be accomplished a study of the singularities of Nine Nights while gender, the novel, and narrative. Through a profuse intertextuality, Bernardo Carvalho's sixth novel problematizes the limits that separate reality from fiction. With this, it is tried to verify how the plot itself face the relations between the discourses that practice the truth and the fictional discourse, perceived as representation of memory and imagination
