- Title
O ESPAÇO DOS HOMENS NA FEITIÇARIA: FEITICEIROS NA LITERATURA BRASILEIRA DO SÉCULO XIX.

Imbroisi, Waldyr; Carrizo, Silvina Liliana
- Abstract
This work aims at analyzing two male witch characters: the 'pai' (father) Benedito, from O Tronco do Ipê, and the negro Cambinda, from A Carne. As they are the only two men considered bearers of magical powers in our nineteenth century literature, this study sums to the efforts to understand, in a global way, how witchcraft is represented in Brazilian literature. We seek to base our reflections on the popular and erudite ideas of witches, as in relevant historical data, in order to try to understand the meaning of these characters inside the narrative.
