Abstract

This research focuses on reflections about the imaginary presented in the book Incidente em Antares by Erico Verissimo. This book was published in 1971, and it has been through research in order to develop studies on the imaginary from this symbolism in this work. When it is read considering the symbols, it is observed that the work presents reflective connotation, his speech is metalinguistic and reflects on own literariness, language and knowledge about the time. The work will still be observed from the perspective of mythopoetic that supports the idea of Antare s space as artistic creation and creation revisited the imaginary. Nevertheless, the consideration of the genre in which the work is limited is of particular importance because it carries the nature of magic realism, which makes the impossible possible and discusses its own likelihood. The research is characterized as exploratory, bibliographical and phenomenological character. The author who form the corpus of research is Erico Verissimo, author of the regionalist novel 30. The proposed problem is the analysis of symbolic structures present in the literariness of the novel Incidente em Antares. The work will be developed in three chapters. The analysis of the work is supported by the theoretical Gilbert Durand, Gaston Bachelard and Northrop Frye. It is expected that the work can contribute to further research using the imaginary
