Maravilhoso e alteridade em narrativas da Matintaperera

Abstract

This work, linked to the research project Alterity, literatures of the unusual and psychoanalysis (ALLIP), aims, in general, to understand the wonderful from the alterity in oral narratives of Matintaperera, collected by the project The imaginary in Popular oral narrative forms of the Paraense Amazon (IFNOPAP). In a specific way, we aimed to verify common aspects between the Matintaperera, the Saci-Pererê, the Acauã and the headless mule, as well as to examine the occurrence of Das Unheimliche (The Stranger) in oral narratives of Matintaperera. The theoretical framework of this study is based on Bravo (1985), Freud (1919/2017) and Paz (2018). This research is characterized as a bibliographic, with a qualitative approach, whose methodology consisted of, firstly, we reviewed the literature, then we performed the examination of the oral narratives of Matintaperera present in the books Santarém Account..., Belém Counts..., Abaetetuba counts... and Bragança counts..., done this we selected two tales of the Matintaperera and, finally, we performed the literary analysis of the oral narratives chosen. The results revealed that it is possible to understand the wonderful tale of Matintaperera from the notion of alterity in oral narratives of IFNOPAP, since the Matinta, in its human constitution, can be understood by alterity (Woman-Man), ( Young-old woman). With regard to metamorphosis, the Matintaperera can metamorphose into animals, of biologically distinct classes such as (bird, amphibian, reptile, mammal and fish), which enables it to be transited in (aerial- terrestrial), (rural-urban), and can be ( Quadrumpede or bipedal). The whistle, in turn, is established by alterity (mouth-anus). Furthermore, we found that Matinta has common aspects with the Saci-Pererê, the Acauã and the Headless Mule, which makes us think of it not through a unit, that is (old woman who turns into an owl), but rather in a cultural plurality. In this way, as we will see, the opposites in Matintaperera, as well as the German term of the Unheimliche (The Stranger), of Freud, are not excludent, but mutually relate. Thus, we believe that this dissertation will bring valuable contributions to the studies of the unusual literatures, since, supported by Victor Bravo, we can think of the wonderful tale of Matintaperera from the notion of alterity and this promotes a Experience resulting from the transformation of oneself by the relationship with otherness of the other (the text, the culture, the subjects).
