O poema Batucajé das Iaras: uma análise literária sobre os elementos culturais africanos presentes na Literatura itapecuruense, traduzidos na obra do poeta Theotonio Fonseca

Abstract

This monograph has as main objective to analyze the poem Batucajé das Iaras, focusing on its contribution to the return of the history of black enslavement in Brazil, from the cruel and ruthless diaspora that occurred in the last century, that ended up forming culture, mysticism and the Brazilian miscegenation. Thus, in this monograph will be analyzed the African cultural and religious elements present in the poem "Batucajé das Iaras", which is part of the second poetic work of the professor and poet Theotonio Fonseca. In this sense, this monograph is configured as the first fundamental work of critical analysis from a book by one of the living itapecuruenses authors, making it important for itapecuruenses productions (including the author himself) to know their limitations in the field in and where their strength is. Thus, Theotonio Fonseca - who contributes so much to the history of itapecuruense Literature, from the adolescence - has its poetry judged according to what governs the literary criticism, that is, with impartiality and smoothness, detaching itself from the ties of the friendship, based only on scientific-academic judgment. Under this aegis, important theorists such as Sergio and Mundicarmo Ferretti, José Neres, Sandra Grahm, Dunshe de Abranches, Wlamyra Albuquerque and Walter Fraga Filho, from the Itapecuruense teacher and writer Samira Fonseca, also from the Itapecuruense writer and researcher Jucey Santana, among many other theorists who talk about the moment of the African diaspora in Brazil or African Literature. Thus, it is believed that this work may in the future be used as a study for other scholars who wish to focus on the production of Itapecuruense authors or even from Theotonio Fonseca himself for other literary analyzes, adding to the sources of research on this subject, reducing the difficulties of theoretical foundation that refer to this type of production, project or research.
