"Dão-Lalalão": Regional and postmodern

Abstract

We are going to analyze “Dão-Lalalão” written by Guimarães Rosa, a composition based on continuous fabulations, typical of the speeches from people from northwest part of Minas Gerais state. This structure shows originality, reveling its own mark: the orality; but it tells which seems to be spontaneous revels regionalists and postmodern tendencies. The environment is regional and the characters are deeply linked to it. However, the Knot - main character conflict - and the narrator - polyphonic - are characteristics of postmodernism. The appearance of perfection in these characters -since they are adjusted to their world of values - is dismantled while the text goes deeper into the presentation, showing their fears and distrusts. They are like any human, in any place in the world.
