The author assume is informed through the guidance of Romanian mythologist Mircea Eliade, and French anthropologist Gilbert Durand. The study is divided into three parts; the first examines the wilderness myth, beginning with the first attempts to characterize it, and later through the authors who ascribe a multiplicity of meanings expressed through the speech of his characters. The second part analyzes the city of Juazeiro do Norte as the mythical city; starting with the beginning of the origin myths that involved the popular figure of Padre Cicero in the Cariri region, which includes the city of Juazeiro. The third part analyzes the contradictory images of the figure of Padre Cicero, mythologized and demythologized, being recognized as a mythic follower of Padre Ibiapina and Antonio Conselheiro. Every movement in Canudos was impacted by social protest. Their leader, died tragically with his followers. The resulting of Juazeiro violence was primarily symbolic, occurring only within church and religious artifacts , and more concretely through the suspension of the orders priesthood of Padre Cicero / Este trabalho propõe um estudo sobre imagens contraditórias da figura popular de Padre Cícero Romão Batista como matéria mítica. Assumimos, com o auxílio das teorizações do mitólogo romeno Mircea Eliade e do antropólogo francês Gilbert Durand, a perspectiva de que o mito permanece e se atualiza infinitamente por meio de imagens e simbolismos arquetípicos. Dividida em três partes, sendo na primeira analisado o sertão mítico, desde suas primeiras tentativas de caracterizá-lo, passando pelo estudo de autores que atribuem uma multiplicidade de significados expressa no discurso de seus personagens; na segunda parte, analisa-se a cidade de Juazeiro do Norte como a cidade mítica, a começar pelos mitos iniciáticos desde o seu tempo inaugural até surgir o mito o qual envolveu a figura popular de Padre Cícero na região do Cariri, onde se situa a cidade de Juazeiro; na terceira parte, analisa-se a imagem contraditória da figura de Padre Cícero, em autores que o mitificam e o desmitificam, reconhecendo na sua figura um messiânico seguidor de Padre Ibiapina e Antônio Conselheiro. Em relação aos protestos sociais, com a diferença de como se deu cada movimento, em Canudos, seu líder morreu tragicamente com seus seguidores e, em Juazeiro do Norte, a violência foi simbólica, transcorrendo exclusivamente dentro dos quadros eclesiais e religiosos: a suspensão das ordens sacerdotais de Padre Cícero

AFRIKAANS : In die studie word gepoog om aan te dui op watter ingrypende maniere die Afrikaner se problematiese verlede altyd weer opduik in die hede, en op watter maniere hierdie verlede die groei en ontwikkeling van ’n nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse identiteit kan verhinder, of andersins, hoe ’n grondige en bewuste Auseinandersetzung met die verlede kan lei tot beter begrip, nie alleenlik van die verlede nie, maar ook van die hede en (ideaalgesproke) van die toekoms. Daar word geredeneer word dat ’n proses van bewuste konfrontasie met die verlede noodsaaklik is vir die ontwikkeling van ’n lewensvatbare identiteit. Hierdie proses sluit in ’n bewuswording en ontleding van die houdings van skuld (ook kollektiewe skuld), verlies en melancholie jeens die verlede. ’n Belangrike newe-komponent van die verhandeling is om hierdie proses te koppel aan verhaaltegniese middele wat aangewend word in die bundel vertellings onder bespreking. Daar word gepoog om ’n noodwendige verband te lê tussen tematiek en narratiewe tegnieke. In die verhandeling word aandag gegee aan die temas van skuld en verlies in die verhale, asook die vele motiewe wat gekoppel kan word aan hierdie twee temas. Daar word ook aandag gegee aan verteltegnieke soos tydsvorme, assosiatiewe skryfwyse, vertellingstrant en die stem van die verteller, wat aangewend word om die konfrontasie met en houdings jeens die verlede uit te beeld. Daar word geargumenteer in die verhandeling dat die prosa in hierdie bundel as vertellings gereken moet word, eerder as kortverhale (of meer spesifiek, short stories), en wel omdat die temas en die verteltegnieke bymekaar aansluit met die oog op ’n spesifieke leserrespons wat ’n grondige konfrontasie met en bestekopname van die verlede behels. ENLISH : The study focuses on the inescapable presence of a problematic past in contemporary South Africa, and the ways in which this past prevents the development of a new South African identity. It argues that a fundamental reckoning with the past will lead to a better understanding of the present and the future, and is essential to the development of a viable South African identity. This process of reckoning with the past involves an awareness and analysis of attitudes towards the past, which includes guilt (also collective guilt), loss and melancholy. The process of Auseinandersetzung with the past is then linked to specific narrative techniques which are employed in the collection of short prose under discussion. It is argued that there exists a connection between theme and narrative technique. Narrative techniques under discussion include tense (past and present tense), associative writing, narration and voice. It is argued that the short prose in the collection under discussion should be defined as (oral) narratives (vertellings), rather than Short Stories. The reader response towards an (oral) narrative differs from the response towards a Short Story, and the difference is essential in the process of confrontation with the problematic past/history.
