%0 Journal Article %T UM TEMPO M¨ªTICO EM GUIMAR ES ROSA %A Betina Ribeiro Rodrigues da Cunha %J Macab¨¦a : Revista Eletr£¿nica do Netlli %D 2012 %I Universidade Regional do Cariri %X This article analyses how narrative time is organized in Guimar es Rosa's short story "Um mo o muito branco" that belongs to his book Primeiras est¨®rias. It validates the hypothesis according to which time in "Um mo o muito branco" updates a mythical time in which rituals and rites of passage, mystical patterns and different symbolical archetypes mean. The analysis shows that the construction of narrative time in "Um mo o muito branco" highlights a fictional plot that keeps meaning and discursive relations with both the myth and the folktale models. And that, consequently, constitutes and resonates the polysemic strength of Rosa's word and writing. %K Guimar es Rosa %K Time %K Myth Short Story %K Brazilian Literature %U http://periodicos.urca.br/ojs/index.php/MacREN/article/view/322/240
