Iauaretê, mais além: novas relações entre a cultura dos povos originários e “Meu tio o Iauaretê”, de João Guimarães Rosa

ABSTRACT This article proposes a stylistic analysis of João Guimarães Rosa’s “My uncle, the Iauaretê”, while seeking data in the culture of native peoples to establish nexus of meaning with the short story. Having as paradigm Walnice Galvão’s pioneer study “O impossível retorno” (The impossible return), in which she carries out a comprehensive survey of the presence of the jaguar in Amerindian culture and its relationship with Rosa’s text, we investigate other aspects of the mythology and life of some ethnicities, in the attempt to widen the interpretive horizon of the fictional text. To mediate and develop the discussion between the mythical and the literary, we use some points from the critical fortune of the short story, anthropology, the history of Brazil, literary theory and Freudian psychoanalysis.

摘要 本文针对若昂·吉马良斯·罗萨（João Guimarães Rosa）的短篇小说《我的舅舅亚瓦雷特》（My uncle, the Iauaretê）展开文体学分析，同时从原住民文化中搜集相关资料，以构建该作品的意义关联。本研究以瓦尔尼斯·加尔旺（Walnice Galvão）的开创性研究《不可能的回归》（O impossível retorno / The Impossible Return）为研究范式，该研究全面考察了美洲原住民文化中美洲虎的形象及其与罗萨文本的关联；在此基础上，我们进一步探究了部分原住民族群的神话与生活的其他维度，以期拓展该虚构文本的阐释视野。为衔接并深化神话与文学之间的讨论，本文借鉴了该短篇小说的批评接受史、人类学、巴西史、文学理论以及弗洛伊德精神分析学的相关视角。
