| Sumario: | The article analyzes the importance of the ludic element in the composition of the emblematic novel of Brazilian modernism, Macunaíma the hero without a character (1928), by Mário de Andrade. It develops the argument according to which the comic element confers coherence and verisimilitude to the text, participating in all levels of the work, from its origins – raw material rewritten and reinvented by Mário de Andrade –, through the organization of the narrative syntagm, until the characterization of the hero, which belongs to the symbolic field of the novel. It is also the ludic element that makes Macunaíma’s ambivalent laughter possible, registering in the text the dialectic of the serious-comic. The perspective adopted is based on the methodology of narrative analysis by Gérard Genette and on the essays by Johan Huizinga and Mikhail Bakhtin who explore, respectively, the presence of the ludic in myth and poetry and the ambivalence of popular comics, dialoguing with the critical fortune of the novel. |
