RESUMO
A partir do romance Absalão, Absalão!, de Faulkner, pretendemos estudar as diferentes imagens do ódio racial presentes nessa obra. Esta forma específica de ódio pretende diferenciar brancos e negros, o mais precisamente possível, para que assim se evite qualquer risco de amálgama e de confusão, vivenciadas como essencialmente incestuosas. Este ódio é mosaico e narcisista, e visa preservar o ego ao mesmo tempo em que o projeta para fora e destrói todo inimigo interno que possa vir a comprometer sua supremacia. Mas este ódio destina-se sobremodo a esconder o amor da mãe-terra, tão profundo quão secreto.
ABSTRACT
Drawing upon Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom!, the author sets out to put the assorte expressions of racial hatred under study. This particular form of hatred entails establishing a clear-cut distinction between the White and the Black in order to forestall conflation and confusion, both of which are perceived as deeply incestuous. This hatred is ego-related and narcissistic, with the purport of protecting the ego through projection on to the outside environment, as well as destruction of any enemies that jeopardise its supremacy. This hatred, however, first and foremost endeavours to conceal a deep-seated, secret love for Mother Earth.
