Summary: The objective of this thesis is to analyze the novels Estorvo (2014), Benjamim (2010), Budapeste (2010), Leite derramado (2009), and O irmão alemão (2014), written by Chico Buarque, from a thematic focus: the recurrence of disappearances, in different
aesthetic treatments. To verify how this issue develops in each novel, the thesis examines the subjective configurations of the narrators, the fictionalization procedures of memory and history discourses, the games with the presence/absence of the author and the element of violence in the constitution of the plot. The theoretical framework that supports the analysis dialogues with interdisciplinary texts, such as those by Sigmund Freud and Paul Ricoeur. By highlighting the formal particularities of each novel that makes up this literary corpus , which includes a relationship between disappearances and a suspended future, it becomes noticeable
the author's adherence to some trends of contemporary literature, especially those that manifested after 1980. Part of contemporary Brazilian fiction, to which the novels Benjamim , Leite derramado , and O irmão alemão are related, has an archival impulse in relation to the duty of memory, establishing itself as a front of resistance in the fight against forgetting the serious violations of human rights that occurred in Latin American dictatorships. Therefore, if literature has a function in denaturalizing violence, the formation of readers has been advocated by scholars (CANDIDO, 2011; COSSON, 2016; GINZBURG, 2016) as a categorical imperative in the construction of a just society. Considering the importance of reading in guaranteeing human rights, the education in the state of Espírito Santo gains space, in the last chapter, with the analysis of the data provided by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira about some schools in the state network, which allows to conclude the need to expand access to contemporary literature.
