Abstract (lang="eng")
Like Joyce's ‘Ulysses,’ J.G. Rosa's ‘Grande Sertão: Veredas’ (The Devil to Pay in the Backlands) transforms an apparently local and commonplace setting into a labyrinth of heterogeneous languages. The present article is a systematic reading of Rosa's particular elaboration of a decisive problem in western rational culture—of the question how to articulate ancient mythical languages with conceptual (philosophical and theological) thinking. The seemingly "dialectal," "regional" and "primitive" distortions of lexical, grammatical and syntactical structures are here interpreted as the formal reality of an oblique poetical interrogation which undercuts basic concepts of western tradition, like "human nature," "being" or "teleology."
Abstract (lang="por")
Como o "Ulysses" de Joyce, o "Grande Sertão: Veredas" de J. G. Rosa transforma o ambiente aparentemente local e cotidiano num labirinto de linguagens heterogêneas. O presente artigo é uma leitura sistemática da elaboração particular de Rosa de um problema crucial na cultura racional ocidental: a questão de como articular antigas linguagens míticas com o pensamento conceitual (filosófico e teológico). As distorções aparentemente "dialetais", "regionais" e "primitivas" das estruturas lexicais, gramaticais e sintáticas são aqui interpretadas como a realidade formal de uma interrogação poética oblíqua que enfraquece os conceitos básicos da tradição ocidental como "natureza humana", "ser", ou "teleologia".
