SUMMARY:

We approached throughout this work the metafictional character in the novel Agá (2019), by Hermilo Borba Filho and its relationship with the elements of the comics present in the chapter O Livro dos Mortos, which has characteristics that connects with the peculiarities of Hermilo's writing and the illustrations by J. Cláudio, heavily loaded with intertextuality and intermediality. To this end, we addressed issues related to metafiction, intertextuality and intermediality. The first, with regard, mainly to autofiction, so present in Hermilo's novel. We brought the works of Linda Hutcheon (1980; 2013) and Patricia Waugh (2001), with their approaches to metafiction and the modern novel. We also used contributions by Eleonor Arfuch (2010), Gustavo Bernado (2010) and Leila Perrone-Moysés (2016). On intertextuality, we discussed some ideas by Julia Kristeva (2005), inspired by the thinking of Bakhtin (1895-1975) on dialogism; and, still, Gérard Genette (2010) and the theory of transtextuality, with a focus on what he calls hypertextuality. In terms of intermediality, also guided by Hutcheon (2013), we researched artistic works from different media that were inspired, over time, by Hermilo's writing. We relateed basic elements of comics, bringing the possible signs closer to the Hermilian work, through studies based on Thierry Grensteen (2015), Will Eisner (1989), Moacy Cirne (1970). We also analyzed some characters from the chapter O livro dos mortos, adding to the aesthetic/linguistic question, a socio-political approach, based on decolonial theories through the works of Nelson Maldonado-Torres (2012, 2018), Ramón Grosfoguel (2008), Aníbal Quijano (1998, 2000) and Silvia Cusicanqui (2010). Thus, we problematized the narratives of Zumbi dos Palmares, Antonio Conselheiro, Padre Roma, Frei Caneca and Tiradentes, both from the point of view of writing, illustrations and their interrelationships, and from the perspective of their struggles against each oppressive system related to them, such as colonialism, imperialism, etc. The objective of this research was to contribute to the critical fortune of Hermilo's work, as well as to establish aesthetic links between literature and comic books, providing research material for a language that has been growing as a theme in the academic circle, qualifying its practice and understanding.
