Resumen
RIBEIRO BARBOSA, Tereza Virgínia. Circle Dancing with Madmen: the Delirium's Circular Tragic Rhythm. UH [online]. 2016, n.282, pp. 93-108. ISSN 0253-9276.
A powerful image of madness -a wide and complex theme in social life and in literature- is presented in Heracles' Euripides through the main character of the tragedy, the hero who is seized by rage and invests against his own family. With the support of other texts -namely the novel Quincas Borba, from Machado de Assis, and the short-tale "Sorôco, sua mãe, sua filha", from João Guimarães Rosa-, we intend to investigate how the poet make a madness' rhythm from the choice and use of the words. Not to mention authors that actually were or went mad, how to inoculate disorder in the word artificially -and therefore rationally- constructed?
