Ao procurar refletir sobre uma visão pluridimensional do mundo, será desenvolvida uma abordagem no contexto de expressão cultural Índia Americana, ou Ameríndia, particularmente a poesia contemporânea de Joy Harjo. A poetisa de ascendência Muskogee-Creek sugere que, pela dialética de espiritualidade, os seres humanos encontrem caminhos para resolver questões e dilemas das comunidades Índias Americanas e da comunidade humana multicultural global. Seguindo este processo, vai dar relevância à dinâmica das interrelações que inclui intervenção pessoal e coletiva. Na partilha de ideias e, também, de atitudes, as pessoas podem conhecer como cultivar e educar uma consciência de responsabilidade pela dignificação e valorização da diversidade. Finalmente, concordando que a literatura tem um papel crucial no desenvolvimento de interrelações humanas com menos tensão e menos conflitos sociais, pondo em prática a cultura dialética de espiritualidade exposta por Joy Harjo, a humanidade pode viver em comum com harmonia e justiça, em equilíbrio com todos os outros elementos e seres vivos que existem à nossa volta. Esta dissertação é composta por uma contextualização teórica do tema e introdução, a Parte I, um estudo interpretativo da poesia de Joy Harjo, a Parte II, e pela conclusão, a Parte III.Universidade de Aveiro2014-03-07T16:05:17Z2013-01-01T00:00:00Z2013info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/11944TID:201584891engGuedes, Maria Helena de Sousainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T11:21:36Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/11944Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:48:13.608722Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
