THE REPRESENTATION OF PERSON IN JESUS’ PARABLE “THE GOOD SAMARITAN”

The research presented in this paper aims to analyze the representation in the Jesus’ parable The Good Samaritan, specifically, their persons, questioning the character “amimético”/mimetic that narrative category. With brief descriptions of the person of Sophocles' tragedy - Oedipus, the survey highlights the main features of the narratives Greek and Judeo-Christian, to submit their respective characters based on assumptions about mimesis and metaphor. The study indicates an eminently bibliographic research, based on the poetics of Aristotle (1973), assumptions about mimesis, metaphor and parable, studies guided by Costa (1992), Le Guern (1976), Lockyer (2006), Lopes (1987), Sant'anna (2010) and Spina (1967). The survey allowed the perception of speech introduced by literary art, through the representation, so that the parable study demonstrates that the author used a narrative language appropriate to his interlocutors, with daily themes, and therefore constructed a strategy to achieve their educational goals. This art of narrating stories also indicates knowledge moral, philosophical or religious, but this is, in general, unveiled by the representation of social types. In the parable analyzed, the character “metaphored” the moral sense that the narrator pointed, confronting concepts that your listener defended, showing him his "mistake" in the interpretation of Jewish Moral Law.

Language and Labour Centrality in Quarto de Despejo

Language is essential to mankind and it is a means to interact with nature. Another important element in the discursive constitution of the subject is labour; through it men transform themselves and the surrounding society and this is one of the most ontologically salient features of it. In this sense, this article analysis the literary representation of language and labor world in Quarto de despejo, by Carolina Maria de Jesus. As a theoretical framework to discuss concepts of labour it is adopted Marx (1996); Engels (1990) and Lukács (2004) whose works investigate that universe.  Bakhtin/Volochínov (1986), to reflect on language; Bosi (2002), to analyze literature as a field of resistance and Candido (1976), to consider the interactions between text and context. As a result of this investigation, it was concluded that language, represented by the work of a writer, has a central role in the life of Carolina, because it is through language that the author develops a social critique of the oppressive scenario in which she lives, transcending it in a certain measure. Carolina's work, garbage collector, is not an element of satisfaction in her life, but a meaningless activity and worthless human. However it is through the precarious work universe that language constitutes itself, unfolding as a hybrid between the material world and literary expedients.
