Resumo
A análise da Obra de Moacyr Scliar, escritor brasileiro do Rio Grande do Sul de origem judaica, pretende destacar a realidade por detrás da ficção, devendo ser analisado o homem a par da Obra. Escritor e personagens abraçam-se e contrapõe-se num espírito de autocrítica que figura por diversas vezes no suporte de papel. São abordadas as memórias históricas e questões identitárias, relacionadas com a exclusão versus inclusão dos judeus ashquenazim. Memórias que vivificam o problema da aculturação e preservação da religião e cultura judaicas. Para Scliar é a cultura judaica que deve prevalecer. Na literatura scliariana deparamo-nos com um confronto identitário ao longo de três gerações ashquenazim. Comportamentos e formas de estar diferentes que divergem entre uma atitude de errância e resignação, de contestação activa, esperança nacionalista e messiânica (na edificação de Eretz Israel) a uma atitude de alienação e dúvida identitária por parte dos que deambulam e frustram os sonhos dos seus avoengos. Em todos os estados Scliar consegue manter uma forte presença do judaísmo. A esperança messiânica, o humor corrosivo, o chassidismo e a culpa judaica, patentes nas diversas personagens tipo, dinamizam a literatura de Scliar e fortalecem a vertente cultural judaica.
The analyses of Moacyr Scliar’s work, a brazilian writer from Rio Grande do Sul, with jewish origins, intents to show the reality behind the fiction, so it is desirable to study the writer as studying his work. Writer and characters they both get together and aside in a spirit of self-criticism that emerge from the written work. Historical memories and identity questions are approached in relation with the exclusion versus inclusion of ashquenazim jews. Memories that intensify the problem of acculturation and preservation of both jewish religion and culture. In the Author’s view, it is the jewish culture that must remain. In Scliarian literature we get to see a confrontation of identity for over three ashquenazim generations. Different behaviours and ways of being that go from a resignation attitude, an active contestation, a nationalist and messianic hope (in Eretz Israel edification) to an alienation attitude and an identity doubt from those who walk around and frustrate their grandparents wishes and dreams. Messianic hope, corrosive humor, chassidism and jewish guilt are components of every character, which allows to introduce a great dynamic in Scliar’s literature and to enforce jewish culture itself
