RESUMO:

This dissertation, developed within the Stricto Sensu Graduate Program in Literary Studies (Master’s level) at the State University of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT), investigates the plays Gudibai, Meu Boizinho (1983) by Luiz Carlos Ribeiro and A Dança dos Tangarás (1984) by Amauri Tangará, both written during the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil. Adopting a historical-memorialistic perspective, the study analyzes how these dramatic works articulate historical and collective memory as forms of symbolic resistance against the repression, censorship, and silencing strategies imposed by the authoritarian regime. Through the lens of comparative literature, the texts undergo an intertextual analysis aimed at identifying aesthetic, thematic, and ideological convergences and divergences between the two plays. The boi-à-serra — a central element of Mato Grosso folklore— serves as the guiding thread of the analysis, understood here as a symbol of collective resistance, memory, popular tradition, and the cultural identity of Mato Grosso. The analysis views theater as a space for political and symbolic resistance, particularly in the face of the censorship and repression mechanisms prevalent at the time. Methodologically, the study combines a bibliographic survey, a semiotic literary analysis of the dramatic texts, and an intertextual comparative reading, seeking to understand how the authors devise aesthetic strategies to denounce institutional violence, preserve collective memory, and affirm popular cultural values. The theoretical framework draws upon comparative literature (Carvalhal, 2006; Nitrini, 2021), studies on collective and historical memory (Halbwachs, 1990), dialogism and carnivalization (Bakhtin, 2010), reception aesthetics (Jauss, 1979; Iser, 1996), and text semiotics (Barros, 2005), among other theoretical contributions. The results indicate that both plays construct a socially engaged dramaturgy in which the boi-à-serra assumes symbolic centrality as a metaphor for sacrifice, resistance, and cultural endurance, engaging with both the authoritarian context of the 1980s and contemporary challenges facing democracy and culture. It is concluded that the analyzed works constitute important records of the historical and cultural memory of Mato Grosso, contributing to the recognition and appreciation of regional dramaturgy within the field of literary studies.
