RESUMO:

This study aims to analyze the novels Cinzas do Norte (2010) and Órfãos do Eldorado (2008), by the Amazonian writer Milton Hatoum, with a central focus on the poetics of water and its relationship to networks of memory, spaces, and objects present in the narratives. In recent years, Amazonian literature—or literature written in and from the Amazon—has gained prominence beyond the borders of the Northern region and of Brazil itself, especially due to the ways in which these texts are constructed, respecting the identities, myths, enchantments, and cosmogonies of the subjects who inhabit this vast river basin. From this perspective, Hatoum’s work offers a literature that reflects on the Amazon through a poetics of waters and enchantment, in which memory—already identified by other scholars as a distinctive feature of his fiction—alongside space as the setting of the narratives, and objects as memorial constructs, emerges as a set of fundamental elements in prose written in and about the Amazon. The poetics of water, therefore, concerns the presence of freshwater—rivers, lakes, ponds, streams (igarapés), flooded forests (igapós), and channels (furos)—in the architecture of the aforementioned narratives and its importance in the weaving of the author’s novelistic project. The findings indicate how water, more than a physical element, in its multiple manifestations, evokes the imaginary and plays a crucial role in the narrative composition. To support the analyses, this study draws on authors in literary criticism, postcolonial studies, Amazonian cultural studies, sociology, memory studies, spatiality, and material culture, including João Jesus de Paes Loureiro, Leandro Tocantins, Thiago de Mello, Ana Pizarro, Neide Gondim, Márcio Souza, Luís Alberto Brandão, Aleida Assmann, Paul Ricoeur, Joel Candau, Mikhail Bakhtin, Maurice Halbwachs, Roland Barthes, Tzvetan Todorov, Gaston Bachelard, Abraham A. Moles, Jean Baudrillard, Regina Dalcastagnè, among others who have contributed to the issues examined in this work.
