SAILING WITH ERENDIRA ON THE SANDS OF THE REAL AND THE MAGICAL

Resumo O trabalho analisa o conto «A incrível e triste história da Cândida Erêndira e sua avó desalmada», de Gabriel García Márquez, revelando como se dão as relações dialógicas. A pesquisa bibliográfica e hermenêutica apoiou-se no conceito do fantástico, para explicitação do realismo mágico e daí percorreu um caminho até a análise da ideologia. O realismo mágico caracteriza-se pela inclusão de elementos do fantástico ou mítico na ficção aparentemente realista. A palavra do emissor endereçada ao receptor mostra uma relação social carregada de ideologia. A narrativa em apreço constitui-se na sobreposição de dois parâmetros: o real e o irreal.

The bibliographic and hermeneutic research was based on the concept of the fantastic, to explain the magical realism and then followed a path to the analysis of ideology. Magic realism is characterized by the inclusion of elements of the fantastic or mythical in apparently realistic fiction. The sender's word addressed to the receiver shows a social relationship loaded with ideology. The narrative in question is constituted by the superposition of two parameters: the real and the unreal.
