Resumo
Teologia e literatura, cujas relações durante séculos se alternaram entre aproximações e distanciamentos, serão vistas nesta pesquisa inseridas no campo da teopoética. Essa, fora estabelecida com a finalidade de que as duas áreas de conhecimento pudessem ter suas relações estreitadas pela perspectiva teológica. A investigação, cujo objeto é o romance Ensaio sobre a cegueira, contará com uma revisão bibliográfica contendo obras que tratam a relação entre literatura e teologia e a presença da metáfora na obra. Escrito em forma de um ensaio, o objeto tem ainda um espaço tímido nesse campo de estudos. Embora sua investigação ocorra em diferentes áreas de conhecimento devido à crítica social tecida na narrativa. Desse modo, sua pesquisa na área se faz relevante, diante do fato de tratar-se de uma obra, cuja possiblidade teológica não é percebida em um primeiro olhar. Nessa perspectiva, o objetivo é identificar e refletir sobre a ligação entre os dois saberes no objeto. Mais especificamente apontar as descrições da teopoética para indicar as possibilidades de abordagens teológicas da obra; indicar a importância da obra no campo da teopoética com vistas a identificá-la como metáfora da vida; e por fim, relatar sua proximidade com a teologia por meio da metáfora. Para a abordagem metafórica, será utilizada a conceituação de Ricoeur com sua proposta de uma metáfora viva. Diante desse desafio, a obra será investigada como possibilidade de leitura social numa interpretação da vida, mediante o seu caráter metafórico. A rede de metáforas que a norteia, poderá sugerir que a cegueira branca metaforize a condição humana na sociedade hodierna. Sendo assim, as suspeitas recaem sobre qual atitude pode provocar as mudanças necessárias para o restabelecimento social. Caso seja possível encontrar vestígios dessa ação na obra, a alteridade que no ensaio é metaforizada pela mulher do médico, será considerada o caminho a ser trilhado. O Método da Analogia Estrutural de Karl-Josef Kuschel norteará o percurso dessa pesquisa.
Theology and literature, whose relationships for centuries alternated between approximations and distances, will be seen in this research as part of the field of theopoetics. This one was established with the purpose that the two areas of knowledge could have their relations narrowed by the theological perspective. The investigation, whose object is the novel Essay on blindness, will feature a bibliographical review containing works that deal with the relationship between literature and theology and the presence of metaphor in the work. Written in the form of an essay, the object still has a timid space in this field of studies. Although his investigation takes place in different areas of knowledge due to the social criticism woven into the narrative. In this way, his research in the area becomes relevant, given the fact that it is a work, whose theological possibility is not perceived at first glance. From this perspective, the objective is to identify and reflect on the connection between the two knowledges in the object. More specifically, to point out descriptions of theopoetics to indicate the possibilities of theological approaches to the work; indicate the importance of the work in the field of theopoetics with a view to identifying it as a metaphor for life; and finally, to report its proximity to theology through metaphor. For the metaphorical approach, Ricoeur's conceptualization will be used with his proposal of a living metaphor. Faced with this challenge, the work will be investigated as a possibility of social reading in an interpretation of life, through its metaphorical character. The network of metaphors that guides it may suggest that white blindness metaphorizes the human condition in today's society. Thus, suspicions fall on which attitude can bring about the necessary changes for social re-establishment. If it is possible to find traces of this action in the work, the alterity that is metaphorized in the essay by the doctor's wife will be considered the path to be followed. Karl-Josef Kuschel's Structural Analogy Method will guide the course of this research.
