| description | In that article, we intend to analyze the identitary crisis of the character O Grande Caliban in Brazil, of Paule Marshall. When becoming famous comedian, Caliban has his essencialist identity extinguished, and in the search for recovering it, he notices that is impossible to come back be the common citizen Heitor, because the identitary positions suffer alterations along the history. Caliban then becomes a person in conflict. The character can be considered a symbol of the post-colonial societies, and his identitary crisis as resultant of the problems that they faced for the mutilation that the colonialism imposed. In that way, the character identifies with the minorities, to the margin of the history. As theoretical definitions concerning the theme cultural identity will be considered the studies of Stuart Hall (1996) and Kathryn Woodward (2000). |
