| Summary: | Written literature has become a privileged space for performance and, conse- quently, for recording and fostering of values and practices of various groups and social segments. In the short story analyzed in this essay - "Eguns" - João Antônio (1937-1996), a writer from São Paulo, presents a narrator who describes in detail an unusual religious celebration held in Bahia, meant for the cult of ances- tors. Contemplative and respectful, it sticks to tell what is allowed by the religious tradition. Contact with alterity achieves the status of initiation rite and the experi- ence - in a strong sense - is transferred to the reader. |
