Resumo: |
The present dissertation aims to analyze the narratives present in the Apocryphal Acts of Paul, Christian text of the second century CE, from the prism of narrative folklore. The analysis rests on the structural relation that the narratives of martyrdom contained in the Acts represent literary forms originating from the orality, from its narrative structure and functions of personages. The narratives in question, the martyrdoms of Paul in Ephesus and of Tecla in Iconium, present his characters incarnating the heroic archetype, overcoming difficulties and being aided by animals that present fantastic characteristics. Such materials are similar to other materials of the popular tradition of the Greco-Roman world, supporting our hypothesis that primitive Christianity integrates a network of oral traditions linked to the genres of the archaic folklore of the ancient Mediterranean world. In this analysis will be used, above all, the theories of Vladimir I. Propp and Eleazar M. Mieletinski as references for analysis of the genesis and transmission of narrative folklore, as well as the modes as different narratives are presented as variations of a same chain of popular tales, modified according to aspirations of the different social groups where they circulate. In using the memory of figures of authority as Paul and Thecla, we access through these narratives a subtext of conflicts and disputes of authority and social roles within the Mediterranean Christian communities. In addition, these narratives are privileged access points to an effervescent imaginary Christian animal and frank development from the first century CE. This imaginary is related to representations of animals in the spectacles in the Roman arenas, besides being answers to the debates on the animal nature in free development in the period. Animal nature that also works as device of identity construction and positioning of subaltern groups before asymmetric social relations. |
