Do romantismo à contemporaneidade: o herói em O guarani e em “O roubo do fogo”

problematizar para não reproduzir a história única

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the process of construction of heroism in Peri and Nhanderequeí, protagonist characters, respectively, in the novel O guarani (1857), by José de Alencar, and in the indigenous tale “O roubo do fogo” (2005), by Daniel Munduruku. In both narratives, the protagonism is centered on the figure of the Indian/Indian. However, the texts start from different points of view, since O guarani comes from a white and hegemonic writing by Alencar; while “O roubo do fogo” is written from the point of view of the indigenous community and in the written form of indigenous authorship. As a theoretical contribution, we use authors such as Kothe (2000), Munduruku (2017), Wapichana (2018), Adichie (2019), among others.
