Resumo: Current essay, based on the concept of epic theater and on the relationship between literature and the process of historicity, studies the play Auto dos bons tratos (2002), by the Brazilian theater company Cia do Latão. The company is a representative group of a specific social-historic context, or rather, the renewal of the epic theater in Brazil. The theme of the play is the Brazilian Native's enslavement process in 1546 by the first grantee of Porto Seguro, who is characterized by the ethics of capitalist labor and becomes involved in an ideological dispute with the Church because he is against the Holy Days of Obligation. While in prison, he has a vision concerning cordiality that shows him the proper way to deal with his slaves and workers. By mentioning a real historic fact reported in the lawsuit filed by the Catholic Church against the grantee of the lands, the play revisits critically a significant event of Brazilian official history in such a way that it may be linked to Walter Benjamin´s historical materialism. In fact, the play reveals a specific historical moment within the implantation process of capitalism in Brazil and its consequences. Moreover, the theme is formally expressed by a critical appropriation of the ‘auto’ which also leads us to studies on the epic forms.

A peça tematiza o processo de escravização dos índios, em 1546, pelo primeiro donatário da capitania de Porto Seguro que, marcado pela ética do trabalho capitalista, entra em uma disputa ideológica com a Igreja por ser contrário aos feriados de dia santo. Na prisão, tem uma visão a respeito da cordialidade, que indica a ele o modo ideal de se relacionar com os seus escravos e funcionários. Ao fazer menção a um fato histórico real relatado no processo movido pela Igreja Católica contra o donatário de terras, a peça revisita criticamente um acontecimento representativo da história oficial, em uma perspectiva que pode ser aproximada do materialismo histórico de Walter Benjamin. É, assim, reveladora de um momento histórico específico do processo de implantação do capitalismo em solo brasileiro e de suas consequências. Além disso, este tema é expresso formalmente por meio da apropriação crítica do auto, o que direciona também a um estudo das formas épicas. Universidade Estadual De Maringá2015-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionmaterialismo históricoapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/2737610.4025/actascilangcult.v37i3.27376Acta Scientiarum.
