Resumo
As Obras do Diabinho da Mão Furada têm sido um texto polêmico, pela suspeita de que transmite, sob a forma de novela doutrinária católica, uma mensagem contrária a essa mesma doutrina e suas práticas. Escrita em Portugal, no início do século XVIII, mas publicada, no Brasil, apenas em 1861-1862, a novela é atribuída a Antonio José da Silva (1705-1739), autor conhecido por suas peças para teatro de bonecos, nas quais usava satirizar as instituições e os valores morais e sociais de sua época. Cristão-novo, mais conhecido pelo apelido O Judeu, Antonio José foi preso e torturado, em 1726, por crime de judaísmo. Foi depois dessa primeira prisão que Antonio José passou a escrever e fazer representarem suas peças, como forma disfarçada de agressão e resistência ao Tribunal da Inquisição, até ser preso novamente e executado em auto-de-fé, em 1739. Esta dissertação de mestrado se propõe a investigar a mensagem camuflada das Obras do Diabinho da Mão Furada, e interpretar a crítica ao Tribunal da Inquisição, disfarçada, textualmente, em apologia da doutrina católica.
Obras do Diabinho da Mão Furada is a controversial text, because it seems that, under a catholic and doctrinal shape, it transmits a message against that same doctrine and against its practices. The story was written in Portugal, in the beginning of the XVIIIth century, but it was published in Brazil in 1861-1862. Its authorship is imputed to Antonio José da Silva (1705-1739), an author known by his puppet plays, which he used to satirize the institutions, the moral and the social values of his age. Antonio José, better known as The Jew, was arrested and tortured in 1726, because of jewish practices. After that, he began to write and perform his plays, as a disguised form of agression and resistence to the Inquisition, and done it until his last imprisonment and death (1739). The motion of this present work is an investigation of the disguised message of the story Obras do Diabinho da Mão Furada, in order to decode the assaults against the Inquisition - assaults textually disguised beneath an eulogy of the catholic doctrine.
