Diálogos entre História e Literatura: Representações dos povos tradicionais Amazônicos à luz da Obra "A Selva"

Abstract

This monograph seeks to conduct a dialogue between history and literature with the objective of discussing the way the Amazonian characters are treated in the work "The Jungle", authored by the Portuguese Ferreira de Castro. The work is justified both in the academic and social scenarios. First in the intellectual sense: it's important because it sheds light on a theme that has long been the cause of debate: the meeting between history and literature. A discussion that can present us with important fruits for the study of man in time. The second is the social: here it finds importance a since both areas of study are part of people's day-to-day lives, especially when it is a theme that addresses such a remarkable period of the Amazon, which is rubber period. The work divided into two chapters. We chose as methodology the bibliographic review and analysis of the book "The Jungle." The first one cares to present a discussion about what is historical narrative, literary narrative and the concept of representation. The second part will address the concept of peoples as well as the visibility of this group. It will also discuss the context in which the target work of this research was written. Finally, it will be analyzed how the characters are represented in the book studied.
