Abstract: Nihonjin (2011) is the fi rst novel by the Brazilian author Oscar Nakasato and in which he re-enacts the process of integration of the Japanese immigrants who arrived in Brazil in the 1920s. Through the Inabatas’ saga, the ex-centric subject of the official history is placed at the center of the novel, which lies within the scope of a new generation of narratives about immigration. The (re) construction of the family memory is thus the element that sparks a writing process which is, at the same time, autobiographical and metafictional which, in turn, defines the limits of its representation. Through an intercultural compromise and a permanent inter-generational antagonism, the present analysis will seek to understand Nihonjin as an arena to discuss the place that the Nippon-Brazilians – an entity made by permanent duality – occupy in the bosom of the “multicultural” nation.
Nihonjin (2011), primeiro romance do escritor Oscar Nakasato, põe em cena o processo de integração dos imigrantes japoneses que chegaram ao Brasil nos anos 1920. Através da saga da família Inabata, o romance dá voz ao sujeito ex-cêntrico da história oficial, inscrevendo-se numa nova linhagem de narrativas sobre a imigração. A reconstrução da memória familiar é, inevitavelmente, o elemento desencadeador de um processo de escrita, ao mesmo tempo, autoficcional e metaficcional, definindo assim os limites da sua representação. Por meio de uma negociação intercultural e de um antagonismo intergeracional permanentes, interessa-nos compreender o romance Nihonjin como um espaço de discussão sobre o lugar que ocupa o nipo-brasileiro – um ser forjado por uma dualidade permanente – no seio da nação “multicultural”.
Premier roman de l’écrivain Oscar Nakasato, Nihonjin (2011) met en scène le processus d’intégration des immigrés japonais arrivés au Brésil dans les années 1920. À travers la saga de la famille Inabata, le roman donne la parole au sujet ex-centrique de l’histoire offi cielle et s’inscrit dans une nouvelle lignée de récits sur l’immigration. La mémoire familiale est, ainsi, l’élément déclencheur d’un processus d’écriture à la fois autofictionnel et métafictionnel dans la mesure où sa (re) construction définit les limites de sa représentation. Par l’intermédiaire d’une négociation interculturelle et d’un antagonisme intergénérationnel permanents, il importe de comprendre, dans cette analyse, le roman Nihonjin en tant qu’espace de discussion sur la place du nippo-brésilien – cet être forgé dans une dualité permanente – au sein de la nation “multiculturelle”.
