Ventania Brava, Luiz Bras, dystopiaAbstract
In this text, we approach the narrative Ventania Brava, by Luiz Bras, set in 2090, seeking to identify and understand the configuration of dystopia in the narrated world, especially to what extent its structure prints the fears of contemporaneity, as critical and alert to society. The report highlights the actions of a government occupied by adolescent characters, underlining the attitudes, desires and expectations of this age group, which is gaining more and more visibility in social spaces, notably as an avid consumer of cultural goods. We initially reflected on the performance of the book market and the production of cultural goods for young people and adolescents, highlighting, in youth literature, aspects of dystopian narrative. Finally, we observe elements that, in the Luiz Bras’ work, configure dystopia and provide to their readers the reflection about reality and the consequent experience of participation as beings-in-the-world.
