Tanatografias E Decomposições Biográficas

This paper aims to map different issues raised by the approachement between literature and death from a Bakhtinian perspective.It forms a tanatography of the character who comes back from the dead, recalling himself to another and/or in collective memory: the Odyssey, Menipean Satire, Hamlet, Bobok and Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas.It analyzes an image of Occidental canon in a dialogical comparativist perspective and thus draw a literary architecture that goes beyond the fields of quotation and that allows us to study various discursive achievements of death
