A SUPOSTA BUSCA DA VERSÃO "VERDADEIRA" DE UM CONTO DE FADAS COMO PROVOCAÇÃO REFLEXIVA METAFICCIONAL NA ESTEIRA DO POSSÍVEL.

The search for an "original" version of traditional fairy tales is a subject that is dear to critics within the genre. Both the persistent attempts to delimit the creative role of Charles Perrault and the Grimm brothers, as well as searches for records of previous oral versions, denounce the interest in a Cartesian pursuit of the truth of fairy tales, which paradoxically goes against the type of knowledge of which art and literature themselves consist: a sui generis superior form of knowledge governed by the bonds of the truth of the possible. Taking the work of Almodóvar e Taeger (2009) as an example, we dedicate ourselves to the reflections that it, as a metafictional textuality, raises about itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
