The construction of the indigenous ethos by José de Alencar

SILVEIRA, Marcelo; SILVA, Vinicius Pimenta;

Resumo:

José Martiniano de Alencar, writer and politician, was born in Messejana-CE, on May 1, 1829, and died on December 12, 1877, in Rio de Janeiro (MARTINS, 2000). Of all his works, we have chosen to analyze those whose theme is the indigenous because of our general objective: the construction of the indigenous ethos by literature, by the media and by indigenous people. The goal of this paper is analyzing the construction of the ethos of Brazilian Indians in the works of José de Alencar, more precisely in Iracema and O guarani. The analysis of the construction of the ethos in Ubirajara, also by Alencar, will take place at another time. For now, our work will be on the period when the writer sought the construction of nationality.
