Chronos kai Anagké: Vestígios do Sagrado em João Guimarães Rosa.

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the testimony of the Sacred in the literary work of João Guimarães Rosa (1908-1967), specifically the short story Chronos kai Anagké (1930) and his only novel, Grande Sertão: Veredas (1956). This research has as a basic methodological-epistemological axis the transdisciplinarity between the concept of Sacred in the Sciences of Religion in Rudolf Otto and Mircea Eliade, the concept of Literary Narratology in Paul Ricoeur and the Theory of Witness of Márcio Selligmann for a reading of the sacred in literature of Guimarães Rosa. It discusses the theoretical relationship between Literature and Sacred, the Vestiges of the Sacred in Literature, the Geographies of the Sacred in the roseana novel, and the work of literary art as a possibility of socio-cultural interpretation. We will show that roseana narratology presents a collection, record and interpretation of an imaginary about God, the demo and the human man in the Brazilian sacred, we will present João Guimarães Rosa as an interpreter of the Sacred, not only in Literature, but also In Brazilian Culture.
