Doctoral Thesis Sonhos entre as páginas do Meu Pé de Laranja Lima: imaginação e devaneio poético voltado à infância(2018-03-27) Batista, Ozaias Antonio; ; ; Fonseca, Ailton Siqueira de Sousa; ; França, Fagner Torres de; ; Germano, José Willington; ; Rodrigues, Victor Hugo Guimarães;Imagination is an inseparable part of the anthropos (MORIN, 2015; 2012; 2011), integrating all existing dimensions in society and culture. Based on this assumption, the present research aims to problematize the imaginative manifestation in the sociocultural realm, adopting the romanesque narrative of My Sweet Orange Tree (1995) as the main focus of study. The novel tells the story of Zeze, a boy who uses his imagination in reading reality, leaving a mark of the multiple meanings from his imagined world in himself and in the other characters. Thus, the literary images (BACHELARD, 2008b) present in the novel are read under the inspiration of the poetic daydreaming during childhood (BACHELARD, 2009), since we identify attributes related to such dreamy bachelardian infant in Zeze. The theoretical-methodological course of the research is guided by Gaston Bachelard's (2009; 2008) phenomenology of poetic imagination, considering that we propose a poetic reading of the novel based on the literary images generated in reading daydream. We observed that in the course of the plot traumatic experiences contributed to the suppression of Zeze's imaginative potential, conditioning him to a rational apprehension of reality, no longer supported by the poeticity of his imagined dreams and friends. Therefore, imagining did not make Zeze a child with attributes of naivety or passivity - differing from what is commonly associated to children and imagination. On the contrary, the boy's imaginative potential enabled him to reinvent his reality through the feelings and actions instigated by poetically imagined images.
