SUMMARY:

This dissertation analyzes the relationship between literature, memory and History in the work A noite da espera (2017), the first volume of the trilogy O lugar mais sombrio, by Milton Hatoum. It is a work that follows the cultural and political formation of a group of young people living in Brasília/DF in the 1960s and 1970s, in the period immediately after the 1964 military coup. Therefore, the first chapter of this dissertation deals with the construction of Brasília as a city and a symbol, considering the historical background of the change of the federal capital, the context of Juscelino Kubitschek's government and the challenges that the city faced in its early years. Then, the second chapter brings a theoretical reflection on History, in its development as an academic discipline, and on individual and collective memory, according to the theories of Maurice Halbwachs and Paul Ricoeur, addressing the issue of forgetting and the role of literature. Finally, the third chapter analyzes excerpts from the work that contribute to the consolidation of a memory about Brasília that confronts the idealized vision of the city. With this, we seek to show how literature offers elements that build a new perspective on the place, such as traces of memory that survive a hegemonic version.
