Abstract

One of the predominant themes in José Saramago 's work is the re - reading and intertextuality with the history and the founding myths of the Western ideology. This practice is constructed from a deconstruction of the texts with which the works dialogue, through the use of parody, historiographic metafiction, and allegory. In these texts, Saramago, while questioning unshakeable beliefs, presents us with the demystification of official History, thus giving the emanation of silenced histories, from what could have been. This article intends to analyze the process of rereading the author in The Gospel according to Jesus Christ (year), when using as a source the historical ruins left by the dogmatic reading of the New Testament of Christian Judaism. To do so, we will use the modern theory of allegory developed by Walter Benjamin, based on the precepts of Comparative Literature, from the Bakhtinian dialogism that Saramago's text constructs not only with the canonical versions of the biblical texts but also with the apocryphal writings , as well as data from history and modern culture.
