THE MODERN FANTASTIC IN RUBINIAN NARRATIVE AS A MARK OF RESISTANCE TO THE EXCEPTION OF LAW

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how the marks of resistance to the State of Exception of Right are elaborated, specifically from the short story Button of Rose (1974), by Murilo Rubião. We start from the understanding that Literature has a subversive function of denouncing the status quo, which becomes possible when the fictional narrative makes it possible to reflect on social reality. The study aims to expose, through the marks of engagement of the narrative, how the logic of oppression of the sovereign structures finds in the Law its legitimacy culminating in dystopias caused by the State itself. All of this through an investigation that uses the bibliographic review as a method of approach and has a qualitative and exploratory character. In this way, when unveiling the human dramas originating from the spaces of existence present in the narrative, we discover, as a result, that the State of Exception that seems distant, proves to be much more comprehensive and close than imagined.
