Resumo: In this article, I discuss the concept of allegory, as well as the related terms ‘type’ and ‘figure’ amid the Christian hermeneutical tradition, in order to understand their use in Father Antonio Vieira’s sermons. Stemming from the assumption that the terminology may be insufficient to comprehend the multifarious use implied by these concepts, we opt tosubsidiarily employ the notion of “reading strategies”, based on Young (1997), as a tool to map the various uses of allegory as a means of interpretation. Through a qualitative sampling of Vieira’s sermons,  we show the varied use of this terms and the pertinence of comprehending the allegorical strategies employed by the Jesuit to rhetorically and theologically compose his sermons.

Partindo-se então da constatação de que a terminologia pode ser insuficiente para compreender os diversos usos implicados pelos conceitos, na esteira de Young (1997), optamos por empregar subsidiariamente a noção de “estratégias de leitura” como ferramenta para mapear os diversos usos da alegoria como forma de interpretação. Por meio de uma amostragem qualitativa dos sermões de Vieira, constata-se o uso variado desses termos pelo jesuíta e a pertinência de compreender as estratégias alegóricas empregadas por ele para construir retórica e teologicamente seus sermões.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2019-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/letras/article/view/3827210.5902/2176148538272Letras; Edição Especial - 1/2019: Estudos poéticos e retóricos: novas perspectivas; 89-1202176-14851519-3985reponame:Letras (Santa Maria.
