GEOGRAFIA MÍTICA EM TORTO ARADO

UM DIÁLOGO COM DARDEL PARA UMA INTERPRETAÇÃO MÍTICA DA FAZENDA ÁGUA NEGRA

Abstract

This article brings Dardel's Mythical Geography into dialogue with the Água Negra farm, the place where the plot of Itamar Vieira Junior's book Torto Arado takes place. Ironically, those who inhabited the farm were not its owners, but men, women and children who were not only on it, but were the Água Negra farm itself, even though they had no rights over it. In a recent report on the region in which Torto Arado takes place, it can be seen that today much more scientific geography is practiced. Thus, for its inhabitants, the Earth is no longer a power, they are just on it, no longer part of it.
