Distantes dos deuses erramos pela Rayuela : verdade, mímesis e literatura

Abstract

The novel Rayuela, from Julio Cortázar, has enabled the rise of a chain of concepts and events surrounding the poetic, literary and mimetic expressions by claiming for itself the status of truth. The character and writer Morelli, on which we will focus on more carefully, develops an understanding of literature which reveals the role played by the everyday human language as it grants it also a role of destroyer of commonplaces that distorts life and reality, making us more sad and discredited. Therefore, the literature must extrapolate its own borders, established primarily by other speeches that, not coincidentally, its fundamentals remains veiled. From the thinking of Luiz Costa Lima, Marcel Detienne and Martin Heidegger, this paperwork will evidence how the history, philosophy, religion and science speeches attempt to silence the voices originated in art, making sterile its attemps to comprehend mankind.
