O EXCEDENTE DE VISÃO E A NARRATIVA COMO ATIVIDADE ESTÉTICA

Abstract

In literary creation, author, readers, and readers have different volitional-emotional positions. Literature is a means of sensitization, humanization, and creation of experiences that go against the excess of information and speed of screens. In this sense, the question is: how does literary narrative constitute an aesthetic activity in its relationship with the concrete world? With this in mind, this article aims to study the singular creation, an article on the experience of literary creation in the dialectical relationship. The theoretical foundation is authorized in the contributions of Bakhtin and the Bakhtin’s Circle (2011) about the volitional-emotional position, empathy, and vision; Act in the creation of the work of the aesthetic activity of the act, conceived as ethical, convergent themes. The corpus of analysis consists of a video with an interview with Mia Couto, a world-renowned writer from Mozambique. In the video, the author deals with the theme of the birth of stories. This work assumes an exploratory, bibliographic, documentary and qualitative approach. The recognized results can affirm that the creation of literary accounting whose author's analysis event is described by the point of volitional-emotional decision-making at each moment of the lived experience, without, however, will only be induced to carry out once which is recognized by the experience of aesthetic activity. Literary narrative, therefore, in its aesthetic world marked by volitional-emotional representations, represents an important achievement in approaching the abstract cultural world and the concrete of life.
