Victor Pelevin
Abstract in Portuguese
Notadamente um dos escritores russos mais bem-sucedidos na decada de 1990, Victor Pelevin se caracteriza por uma obra pouco convencional no que concerne a construção de personagens e mundos em que elas habitam. A transicão poltica e cultural ocorrida após a queda do governo soviético, em 1991, e um dos fatores que influenciam as obras de grande parte dos autores pós-modernos na Rússia; entretanto, o sucesso de Pelevin se deve também as peculiaridades de sua escrita que, em vez de apenas promover críticas a sociedade que o precedeu, também inclui reflexões filosóficas e metafisicas por vezes consideradas pretensiosas demais pela critica que abordam essa transição. Em A metralhadora de argila, romance de 1996, o autor remonta as batalhas da Guerra Civil Russa, em 1919, colocando-as como um mundo paralelo a uma instituição psiquiátrica em 1991. O interesse, então, e estudar o processo de recriação que Pelevin faz da realidade pré-soviética e como ele a compara ao periodo pos-sovietico, apontando aspectos no romance que identifiquem a nocao de identidade e a mudanca a que este conceito esta sujeito apos as transformacoes sociais nesses periodos da historia recente da Russia.

Viktor Pelevin
Abstract in English
One of the most renowned Russian writers of the 1990s, Viktor Pelevi distinguishes himself for the construction of characters and worlds in which they inhabit. The political and cultural transition after the end of the Soviet government, in 1991, is one of the factors that have an effect on most of the literary works from Post-Modern authors in Russia; although, Pelevin's success as well is due to singularities in his writing, which instead of only criticise the Soviet society before him, also includes philosophical and metaphysical thoughts sometimes viewed as too pretentious by the critics that discuss the transition. In The clay machine-gun, a 1996 novel, Pelevin remembers the battles of the Russian Civil War, in 1919, putting them as a parallel world within a madhouse in 1991. So, the interest in this study is to understand Pelevin's recreation of the Pre-Soviet reality and how he compares it to the Post- Soviet period, highlighting elements on the novel that trace the notion of identity and the adjustment it takes after the social transformation in these both recente Russian times.
