A ruína literária de Marguerite Duras

Abstract

This article analyzes the literary writing of Marguerite Duras from the idea of ruins being a stimulator and a producer of meanings in his narrative structure. Considering this perspective, the analysis focus on how issues related to authorship, narrative framework, sexual difference and boundaries between literary genres are given a new meaning and are rewritten by Duras’ fiction through the wreckage of words, the remains of affections and a continuous crumbling of ideas about the literary practice that quickly reorganizes itself and then falls apart once again. Thus, Duras’ writing is both a writing of ruins and a writing in ruins.
