Resumo(s)
Esta dissertação analisa a racialização na obra do género de fantasia The Way of Kings
(2010) de Brandon Sanderson. O objetivo principal é examinar como o autor imita o processo de
racialização do mundo real num mundo secundário. A análise é conduzida através de uma
perspetiva interseccional, incorporando metodologias literárias e pós-coloniais.
Consequentemente o estudo também investiga a sua interação com outras facetas da identidade,
como classe e género. Mais precisamente, este estudo explica como a cor dos olhos é usada
como um substituto para a cor da pele enquanto significante de raça e como essa racialização
impacta a vida dos personagens, dependendo de onde eles estão na hierarquia social. Além disso,
a racialização de seres não humanos dentro do mundo secundário é examinada, destacando como
o género da fantasia permite a exploração crítica de questões do mundo real por meio de
construções imaginativas. O estudo analisa a linguagem e os símbolos de poder, relacionando-os
com a raça e explicando como um sistema quase colonial de opressão é apoiado por esses
elementos. Este estudo demonstra como a literatura fantástica se envolve e critica sistemas de
racialização do mundo real, fornecendo novas perspetivas sobre identidade, poder e estruturas
coloniais.
This dissertation analyzes racialization in the fantasy genre work of The Way of Kings (2010) by Brandon Sanderson. The primary objective is to examine how the author mimics the real-world process of racialization in a secondary world. The analysis is conducted through an intersectional lens, incorporating literary and post-colonial frameworks. Consequently, the study also investigates its interaction with other facets of identity, such as class and gender. More precisely, this study explains how eye color is used as a proxy for skin color as a race signifier and how this racialization impacts characters’ lives through, depending on where they stand in the social hierarchy. Additionally, the racialization of non-human beings within the secondary world is examined, highlighting how the fantasy genre allows for critical exploration of realworld issues through imaginative constructs. The study looks at language and symbols of power, relating them to race and explaining how a quasi-colonial system of oppression is supported by these elements. This study demonstrates how fantasy literature engages with and critiques realworld systems of racialization, providing new perspectives on identity, power, and colonial structures.
