His characters do not live in discrete cultures,but dwell in cultural spaces that flow across borders – the “shadowlines constructed around modern nation states. He constructshis narratives across cultures rather than beyond them and presentsthem not as separate and distinct elements. The cultural differencesthat are confined to cartography only become apparent at themoment of cultural encounter when different values such aspolitical, ethnic, linguistic, moral, religious and social are putface to face. As Renato Rosaldo asserts in Culture and Truth –The Remembering of Social Analysis (1992, p. 20), ‘In contrastwith classic view, which posits cultures as a self-contained wholemade up of coherent patterns, culture can arguably be conceivedas a more porous array of intersections where distinct processescross from within and beyond its borders’. The main purpose ofthis paper, thus, is to analyze how two themes, borderlines andsilence, are discussed in the novel, not based on official documentsand History, rather, through the everyday lives of its main characters,and the effects of displacements on the growth of people.Os elementos da pós-modernidade na personagemcarteriana FevversRenata Kuhn Yatsu (UNESP/Assis)Fato ou ficção?
