My household

an autoetnographic reading of O som do rugido da onça

Abstract

I Intend to present a brief analysis of the reading diary I produced based on O Som do Rugido da Onça (2021), a book by Micheliny Verunschk. The reading diary was a method to achieve an autoethnographic Investigation. Despite the expectation of encountering a single self, autoethnography tends to reveal multiple selves, as Daniela Versiani (2005) suggests. These selves are fragments of emotions, feelings, and thoughts motivated by reading. Verunschk’s novel leaded to me In several ways throughout the writing of the diary, but In this research, I focused on my memory of reading other books and issues such as display and exposition. In the reading diary, this appears mixed with anxiety, Indignation, and revolt. In addition to Versiani, this work draws on studies by Philippe Lejeune (2008), Daniel Manzoni-de-Almeida (2021), and myself (2020; 2023), who was then another.
