DA TERRA DAS SOMBRAS À TERRA DOS SONHOS: O SAGRADO EM O BEIJO DA PALAVRINHA DE MIA COUTO

Abstract

IN THIS PAPER WE AIM TO ANALYZE THE PRESENCE OF THE SACRED IN THE WORK O BEIJO DA PALAVRINHA, BY MIA COUTO. AS A BASIS FOR MYTHS, RITES AND MODELS, THE SACRED HAS BEEN USED IN THE LITERATURE, BY REVEALING THE MANKIND AND ITS RELATION WITH ITS BELIEFS. IN SEVERAL LITERARY WORKS THE SACRED HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED AS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT AND A GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO ACCEPT IT. ACCORDING TO OUR ANALYSIS, WE ASK TO REALIZE THE SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE WITH SACRED IS NOT STRICTLY LINKED TO RELIGIOUS QUESTIONS, BUT IT REFERS TO THE MANKIND AND ITS LIFE.
