“É TUDO PELA PALAVRA”: O IMAGINÁRIO RELIGIOSO-PENTECOSTAL DE CARLOS NEJAR NO ESTADO DO ESPÍRITO SANTO

Abstract

The present work seeks to present a clipping of the life and work of Carlos Nejar, poet of the Brazilian Academy of letters, in his period of operation in the state of Espírito Santo. His vast work has essential traces of the sacred, especially whitin the religious-pentecostal spectrum, generating images and symbols that dialogue deeply with the religious imaginary. To carry out the reserch, we sought to analyse seven works by Nejar produced or reissued in the period of Nejar’s performance in the state of Espírito Santo, a period between the years 1987-2009. From the bibliographic research and interviews with Nejar, under the auspices of Discourse Analysis, especially the contribution of Bakhtin, we seek to make an analysis in three chapters, investigating some biographical aspects of Nejar through the Nejar transit, whitch goes from the Pampa, the source of the poet, passing throught Espírito Santo and arriving in Rio de Janeiro. We seek to make an analysis of the Nejarian discourse, emphasizing the religious-pentecostal imaginary and the presence of the sacred in the seven outstanding works, as well as some notes on the Bible in the works of Nejar, the place of the feminine and a small Nejarian glossary of the ideas and expressions of the Nejar universe, to serve. The present work sought to show the presence of the sacred pentecostal in the Nejarian language in its period of operation in the state of Espírito Santo. It was possible to see that the Nejarian performance in Espírito Santo deepned its Pentecostal language and symbolic, generating texts that contribute a lot to the reserch of religion as a text of culure, especially the religious-pentecostal imaginary in the symbols and languages.
