Complexidade enunciativa em Memórias da Emília

This paper investigates what enunciative roles are used to represent the relation me/ other in the enunciative complexity of a piece written for children: Memorias da Emilia (Memories of Emilia) (1939/1969), by Monteiro Lobato. The results show some enunciative games organized by a narrator (L), who simulates dialogical relations built as if they were enunciated by interlocutors who perform, simultaneously, multiple and intertwined roles in these relations, namely: those of a speaker, a listener, a writer and a reader. These intertwinements, as they indicate a non-dichotomization of the interlocutors in stagnant roles, ended up showing a heterogeneous constitution of the written work itself, since such multiplicity of roles evokes different transits and forms of relationship between the spoken and the written in the writing process itself.
