RESUMO:

This dissertation analyzes Itamar Vieira Junior's Save the Fire (2023) from a Bataillean perspective, focusing on the narrative's three pillars: evil, violence, and the sacred. In this narrative, the experience and presence of Evil are intertwined with the characterization process, particularly with regard to the protagonists' aesthetic and social construction. Thus, the origins of interdictions and transgressions, central concepts in Georges Bataille's work that underpin our analyses, are discussed, with an emphasis on marriage and the abbot's relationship with children, crucial aspects of the characterization of Luzia and Moisés. Interdiction and transgression operate in the novel to shape the characters' experiences, evoking a narrative that, through risk, examines the human condition from the perspectives of oppression and religion. The concepts and theories of Nogueira (2000) and Segato (2000) are used as theoretical frameworks to discuss racial issues; de Paz (1969) and Giddens (1993), on marriage; de Leite (2000) and Bakhtin (1990), on narrative focus; in addition to the works of Bataille (2018, 2021, 2022) and other related research and articles.
