Resumo
O padre Antônio Vieira, grande escritor português da época do Barroco, mestre da oratória, filósofo, foi um dos personagens mais influentes do século XVII. Defensor dos indígenas e dos cristãos-novos, Vieira é autor de muitos sermões, por meio dos quais pregava ao povo, conseguindo, por sua oratória, unir pessoas de diferentes origens sociais. O poder da sua argumentação era algo divino e, até nos dias de hoje, suas obras são lidas e lembradas. Essa foi uma das razões que motivaram a proposta desta nossa pesquisa. Nosso foco foi analisar a questão da coerência, segundo a metarregra de relação, proposta por Charolles (2002), aplicando-a em uma de suas Cartas do Brasil, a Carta Ânua. Motivou-nos a isso a quase certeza de que, para o entendimento do leitor moderno, especialmente dos jovens, a relação entre o texto e os estados de coisas narrados poderia oferecer obstáculos consideráveis, uma vez que essa relação é necessariamente mediada por fatores históricos e culturais, envolvendo valores da época em que foram escritos. Em outras palavras, é necessário que ações, estados ou eventos narrados em um texto sejam percebidos como congruentes dentro do mundo reconhecido por quem o avalia. A escolha da Carta Ânua deveu-se ao fato de Vieira narrar, segundo seu ponto de vista, os acontecimentos da primeira invasão holandesa no Brasil. Além do trabalho de Charolles (op. cit.), usamos também, como ferramenta teórica, a teoria dos frames, de acordo com a ótica de Kövecses (2006)
Father Antonio Vieira, great Portuguese writer of the Baroque period, master in oratory, philosopher, was one of the most influent people in the XVII century. Protector of Indians and new-Christians, Vieira is the author of many sermons, by which he preached to people, achieving by his oratory to connect people from different social origins. The power of his rhetoric was divine and, until nowadays, his works are read and remembered. That was one of the reasons that induced the proposal of our research. Our focus was to analyze the issue of coherence, according to the relation rule proposed by Charolles (2002), applying it to one of Vieira’s Brazilian Letters, Carta Anua. This choice was motivated by the fact that, to the reader’s modern understanding, especially the young ones, the relationship between the text and the related state of affairs could impose considerable barriers, because that relationship is necessarily mediated by historic and cultural reasons, encompassing values from the time they were written in. In other words, it is necessary that actions, states, or narrated events in a text be understood as congruent to the accepted world belonging to whom measures it. The choice of Carta Anua is also due to the fact that Vieira narrates, according to his viewpoint, the events of the first Dutch invasion in Brazil. Besides using Charolles’ theory, we have also used the frame theory, according to the Kovecses (2006)
