Mitos em tradução: intertextualidade e conversão semiótica entre Amazônia e tradição clássica

Abstract

This volume brings together research on intersemiotic translation and intertextuality between Amazonian myths and legends and the classical Greco-Roman tradition. Organized around the research project “Language and Symbolism in the Poetics of Amazonian Myths and Legends,” the collection analyzes mythical figures such as Icamiabas, Jurupari, Vitória-Régia, Uirapuru, and Boiúna, establishing symbolic dialogues with deities and narratives from Greek mythology, such as Eros, Pan, Narcissus, and the tragedies of Aeschylus and Euripides. Grounded in the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce, the work explores how signs are transformed and given new meaning in the Amazonian imagination, highlighting the region’s vitality and cultural plasticity.
