Abstract

This article addresses the literary phenomena of laughter and enjoyment, having the narrator's discourse as a starting point, in the novel Ponopopéia (2009), a work of contemporary Brazilian literature, by the writer Reinaldo Moraes. The narrative in question assumes a dynamic plot, with a text that expresses an enormous force in the configuration of characters that have, in the routine of the city and its prostitute alleys, a place where one can remedy their torments and desires. Moraes is happy to produce a very fast narrative in which he mixes narrative density, improvised poems and a marginal language, full of neologisms, which introduces the reader into a totally suburban and, in a way, violent world. In this sense, to deal with laughter as an essentially human constituent, we used the theories of Minois (2003) and Eagleton (2020); the latter that uses Bakhtin's ideas, in order to draw a parallel between carnival laughter and its relationship with the corporal bass, that is, a relationship that is established between laughter and the erotic.
