This thesis studies The Silmarillion, a work by J. R. R. Tolkien, in order to identify the mythic structure that underlies the fantasy literature. Myths reveal the sacred and the actions of the heroes and gods in illo tempore and, when taken to the literary work of J.R.R. Tolkien, they allow some thinking about the diferente aspects that are part of the fantasy literature. The Silmarillion can be understood both as a mythological compendium of myths and narratives, and as na expression of fantasy as a genre, what composes the foundation to the thought concerning the the creation of the Secondary World known, in the scope of Tolkien’s work, as Arda. The theoretical studies by Norhtrop Frye regarding the mythological structure presented in literature and the meaning and purport of myths, as well as the theoretical perspectives on fantasy literature as developed by Rosemary Jackson, Lucie Armitt and Farah Mendlesohn, provide the toolsto this study along with the essay by Tolkien known as On fairy stories, that delas with the functions of fairy stories, which can be harmonized with fantasy literature in this study. It is possible, thus, to verify that not only does Tolkien create a World which is the stage to the events in his Works, but also creates, even more specifically, a way to think and write myths in literature aiming to think about importante aspects of the Primary World, that is, the World understood as real. In order to understand the relationship established between the Primary and the Secondary Worlds, three categories which are based on the narrative are presented: the fall, the redemption, and the hope. When considered in the light of the mythological themes and the biblical narrative, they allow the understanding about the dianoia that underlies Tolkien’s narrative, mainly in The Silmarillion.

O presente texto apresenta os relatos de uma experiência que teve como objetivo analisar as implicações de uma intervenção voltada a compreender a busca pela autonomia do sujeito, junto a usuários de um Centro Temporário de Acolhimento da região central do município de São Paulo. Para tanto, escolhemos a cartografia como método. Foram realizadas estratégias de vinculação, rodas de conversa e ações de apropriação da cidade, acompanhadas de observação participante por, aproximadamente, um ano. A análise aponta que esse serviço, disposto a reinserir socialmente a partir da autonomia individual, acaba fabricando sujeitos desamparados, no sentido de pessoas dependentes da instituição e sem qualquer favorecimento para emancipação pessoal. Essa prática institucional favorece a passividade, a obediência, a dependência de forças extrínsecas que fogem ao controle, impossibilitando quaisquer condições do indivíduo enveredar por um processo de autonomia: gerir seu cotidiano com suas próprias ações e construir sua história. O trabalho evidencia a necessidade de se construir debates e proposições acerca do processo de desinstitucionalização para que essas pessoas possam, de fato, ter condições de se emanciparem.

This work aims to establish a theoretical and practical reflection between Anthropology and Art. Under the approach of the Anthropology of Performance, we delve into the experience of the huni kuin people, who inhabit Acre, in the Huwã Karu Yuxibu village. From the field research, materials were collected in the form of poetic writing, which was registered in a logbook to support the construction of an artistic process. Focusing on the memories of the journey and how they affect and permeate the artist-body, the research analyzes the Nixi Pae ritual to understand the relationship between ritual and performance. Based on these investigations, we develop the concept of a body as inscription of the experience in time. The concepts of memory, forgetfulness, territoriality and ethnic transfiguration permeate and weave theories on the indigenous culture and unfold into the artistic work. The space, figured in the poetics of the forest and the city, is traveled, revealing a performatic score and a practical process proposal of a moving body.
