Abstract(s)
Considerando que a utopia muda a ordem vigente e é arma da crítica (Ricoeur, 1991),
a nossa reflexão incidirá na leitura do romance Le Chercheur d’or de Le Clézio que
explora a hipótese de um mundo alternativo. Na reescrita do Génesis, Le Clézio encena
a infância como o Éden de um espaço de liberdade e de felicidade, inscrito na nostalgia
das origens. O narrador constrói a relação de fraternidade com o Outro, rompendo
com os preconceitos coloniais de uma sociedade distópica que sucumbe ao lucro, à
guerra e ao esquecimento. Para resgatar o tempo da pureza, o narrador realiza uma
viagem iniciática à ilha de Rodrigues, em busca do tesouro do corsário desconhecido,
onde se despoja do materialismo e instaura um diálogo com a descendente dos escra vos rebeldes. O romance dá voz aos espoliados que desconstroem o valor do ouro e
ensinam ao narrador os fundamentos do amor, da harmonia primordial e do autoco nhecimento, privilegiando a fusão de culturas, a comunhão com a natureza e a vida
simples. O texto de Le Clézio renova o género utópico ao concretizar o sonho do mul ticulturalismo, dado que uma sociedade sem utopia estaria morta, porque não assenta
num projecto prospectivo (Ricoeur, 1991).
Considering that utopia changes the current order and is a weapon of criticism (Ricoeur, 1991), our reflection will focus on the reading of the novel The Propector by Le Clézio that explores the hypothesis of an alternative world. In the rewriting of Genesis, Le Clézio stages his childhood as the Eden of a space of freedom and happi ness inscribed in the nostalgia of origins. The narrator builds the relationship of broth erhood with the Other, breaking with the colonial prejudices of a dystopian society that succumbs to profit, war and oblivion.In order to rescue the time of purity, the narrator undertakes an initiation journey on the island of Rodrigues, in search of the treasure of an unknown privateer, in which he strips himself of materialism and estab lishes a dialogue with the female descendant of the rebellious slaves. The novel gives voice to the dispossessed who deconstruct the value of gold and teach the narrator the fundamentals of love, of primordial harmony and self-knowledge, privileging the fusion of cultures, the communion with nature and with a simple life. Le Clézio’s text renews the utopian genre by fulfilling the dream of multiculturalism since a society without utopia would be dead as it is not based on a prospective project (Ricoeur, 1991).
