Ao ficcionalizar o Outro e a questão da alteridade, Darcy Ribeiro faz predominar, no romance indigenista Maíra, imagens e recursos narrativos característicos do imaginário antropológico feminino e alusivos a uma cosmovisão prépatriarcal. Por meio da tese de Humberto Maturana, sobre a existência de culturas matrilineares ou matrísticas antes do patriarcado, e da divisão do imaginário em dois regimes, nas teorias de Gilbert Durand, procura-se demonstrar como a ficção de Darcy Ribeiro inverte paradigmas da narrativa tradicionalmente elaborada pelo ocidente patriarcal. Apoiando-se numa poética que gravita em torno de símbolos e imagens do corpo, da morte pacificada e do caos, Maíra positiva valores que o patriarcado sempre negou. Para apoiar esta análise, recorre-se ainda a outros autores da crítica mítica e da abordagem antropológica, como E. M. Meletínski, Mircea Eliade, Joseph Campbell e Erich Neumann, bem como à abordagem temática desenvolvida nos trabalhos de Gaston Bachelard. / El tema de esta pesquisa es la primacía del principio arquetipico femenino en la novela Maíra, del antropólogo y romancista minero Darcy Ribeiro.

RADKA SOTÁKOVÁ: CIENCIA Y MITOLOGÍA EN LOS CUENTOS DE LEOPOLDO LUGONES (Science and mythology in the short stories by Leopoldo Lugones) ABSTRACT The fantasy short stories by Argentinian Leopoldo Lugones are traditionally divided in two mutually exclusive and opposite groups: the mythological and the science based ones. In this paper, we analyze the short stories from the author's collection Las fuerzas extrañas and the critical papers on fantasy literature and Leopoldo Lugones to study the possible division. We base our study on three aspects: the distribution of characters throughout the book; the description of the forces that create the supernatural element; and finally on the references that appear abundantly in the collection. We observe the correlation of the three aspects with the traditionally delimited types and try to establish whether this division can be considered suitable and exact enough to capture the spirit of the short stories.

In Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles a relationship exists between the symbolical sacrifice of Tess at Stonehenge and her association with fertility, ritual, and mythic cycles of seasonal death and rebirth. Because Hardy associates Tess with fertility, reproductive power, and seasonal change, she personifies nature and closely resembles the earth mother goddess Demeter. Ritual is evident in her participation in the May-Day club revel, in her intended suicide under the mistletoe, and in her manner of killing Alec d1Urberville. Myth cycle culminates with a fertility ritual in the powerful sacrificial incident at Stonehenge, for, although Tess physically dies at Wintoncester, she symbolically dies at Stonehenge. Following her execution, the significance of her symbolic death at Stonehenge becomes apparent in her rebirth in 'Liza-Lu, In the Demeter-Persephone myth, two anthropomorphic entities, the mother and the maiden, enact the single phenomenon of organic nature--the principle of life seen in the seasonal growth of vegetation. Tess, then, as mother symbolizes the end of the old year's crops, while 'Liza-Lu as maiden signifies the fructification of Tess's seed in the burgeoning fertility of the new year. By being reborn in 'Liza-Lu, Tess thus completes the mythic pattern of seasonal changes.
