RESUMO

In this dissertation I would like to propose a new affirmative treatment of novelist João Gilberto Nolls narrator-protagonists, taking issue with current literary criticism that would have them belong to a contemporary nihilistic trend, classifying them as weaklings who succumb when faced with the Other, or with the world. Based on an analysis of the novels Hotel Atlântico (1986), Harmada (1993), A céu aberto (1996), Berkeley em Bellagio (2002), Lorde (2004) and Acenos e afagos (2008), Nolls protagonists emerge as strong characters best described as dionysian subjects. Nolls narrator-protagonists relinquish a well defined, fixed identity and consequently renounce all mirrors the mirror of consciousness, identification, or even idealization. Instead of attributing themselves a subjectivity or a face, Nolls protagonists recognize in themselves a level of existence that is primordial: their indomitable body, one that differs from the body/image and a rationale of generalized aesthetics. They reinforce the multiple and unstable character of the subject, one that is moved not by its own volition, but by its will to power. Although the body appears as a recurrent theme in his writings, Nolls novels invite both their narrator-protagonists and the readers to take part in a metaphysical experience
