O FUTEBOL NO ESPAÇO AUTOBIOGRÁFICO: UMA ANÁLISE DAS OBRAS DE NICK HORNBY

The present research aims to discuss football, from Nick Hornby productions, such as the collections My Favorite Year (1993), Pray (2012) and Fan Mail (2013). Some texts published in The Independent between 1993 and 1995 were also used. The objective was to identify ruptures and / or continuities in autobiography Fever Pitch , whether in writing or in content. For this, we sought to support methodologically in the perspective of text and context, developed by Antonio Candido, as well as in the concept of “autobiographical space”, defined by Philippe Lejeune. It can be seen that the treatment of football, according to the analysis of Hornby’s works, has three distinct meanings: memory, verisimilitude and news.
