Abstract
Este trabajo se dedica al análisis de las obras Terra sonâmbula del escritor mozambiqueño Mia Couto y Grande sertão: veredas del brasileño João Guimarães Rosa, con el objetivo de rastrear las formas restantes del pensamiento primitivo en lo cotidiano del hombre moderno y contemporáneo e identificar de qué forma estos rasgos del imaginario arcaico ayudan en el proceso de búsqueda de la identidad, tanto colectiva, como individual en una situación de crisis. Empezamos el trabajo con un breve recorrido por la Literatura Brasileña y por la Literatura Africana en Lengua Portuguesa, con la intención de facilitar la comprensión de la formación de estas literaturas y el contexto en el que se desarrollan. A continuación, exponemos de forma sucinta la biobibliografía de los autores, para comprender el origen y la importancia de cada uno en su entorno y las peculiaridades de sus estilos. Ambos forman parte de un proceso de renovación de la lengua portuguesa en sus países y presentan innovaciones en la escritura, como el uso de la oralidad, de neologismos y de transgresiones a las reglas formales del idioma. Couto y Rosa son escritores que buscan continuamente traer a la luz las realidades escondidas u olvidadas en los rincones más profundos del país y dar voz a la gente autóctona y a su tradición. El recorrido teórico se inicia con las teorías canónicas sobre el espacio literario, pasando por las contribuciones de Gaston Bachelard en el estudio de los espacios simbólicos. Enseguida, exponemos las ideas de Carl Gustav Jung y de Mircea Eliade, que perfilan los conceptos de símbolo, de inconsciente colectivo, de arquetipo y de mito, fundamentales para la compresión del pensamiento primitivo y de su relación con la naturaleza. A través de las contribuciones de Eliade, entendemos la estructura de este pensamiento y la noción de sagrado, que determina la forma de actuar en el mundo del hombre arcaico, cuya totalidad de las acciones representa un acto sagrado. Comprendemos igualmente los significados simbólicos de los principales elementos de la naturaleza: el agua, el cielo y la tierra. En este sentido, explicamos el cambio que ocurre en la modernidad y contemporaneidad, a partir de la evolución científica y tecnológica que racionaliza el espíritu humano y provoca la desacralización del espacio. En la secuencia, explicamos las bases antropológicas que llevan a la formación de la cultura brasileña y mozambiqueña, por medio de la amalgama de distintas influencias...
This study is dedicated to the analysis of the works Terra Sonâmbula by the Mozambican writer Mia Couto and Grande sertão: veredas from the Brazilian writer João Guimarães Rosa, with the objective of tracing the reminiscent forms of primitive thought in the everyday modern and contemporary man and identifying the way that these characteristics of the archaic imaginary help in the process of identity search, both individual and collective, in a moment of crisis. We begin the study with a brief journey through Brazilian literature and African Literature in Portuguese Language, with the end of facilitating the understanding of the shaping of these literatures and the contexts in which they developed. Next, we will succinctly discuss the bio-bibliography of the authors, revealing the importance of each in his environment and the peculiarities of their styles. Both form part of the process of renovation of the Portuguese language in their countries and, furthermore, they present innovations in composition, with the use of orality, neologisms and transgressions of the formal rules of the language. Couto and Rosa are writers that continually seek to bring light to hidden realities or those that have been forgotten in the deepest corners of their countries, and give voice to the native people and their traditions. The theoretical journey begins with the canonical theories of literary space, passing through the contributions of Gaston Bachelard in the study of symbolic spaces. Following this, we will discuss the ideas of Carl Gustav Jung and Mircea Eliade, outlining the concepts of symbol, collective unconscious, archetype and myth, which are fundamental to the comprehension of primitive thought and its relationship to nature. Through the contributions of Eliade, we understand the structure of this thought and the notion of the sacred, which determines behavior in the world of the archaic man, the sum of whose actions represent a sacred act. Likewise, we understand the symbolic meanings of the chief elements of nature: Water, sky, and earth. In this way, we explain the change that occurs in modernity and contemporaneity beginning with scientific and technological evolution that rationalizes the human spirit and provokes the desecration of space. In sequence, we understand the anthropological bases that lead to the shaping of the Brazilian and Mozambican cultures through the fusion of different influences...
