SUMMARY:

This research is about orality, indigenous writing, myth and literature, theater and also about ancestry and how a female element, the “Uncreated”, the one that creates itself and that after creating itself, initiates the creation of the world and of all things. She invokes five thunderbolts; the "Grandfathers of the World" together with the "Great-Grandson of the Universe" or Umukonehkü, who has no physical body, created by her sludge later and gives the order for them to board a great Thunder-Snake-Canoe and travel across the Lake of Milk and into the river, creating the world and all the things that inhabit it. This creative force, which is initially feminine, loses its power to the masculine and matriarchy gives way to patriarchy, themes contained in the work analyzed here and which was passed through the ancestral orality of this nation from the father, Umusi Parõkumu (Firmiano Arantes Lana) to the son, Tõrãmu Kehíri (Luiz Gomes Lana), with illustrations made by the latter and his cousin Feliciano Lana. Luiz Lana was willing to transcribe to paper the stories of this nation through the bias of one of its four clans: the Desana-Kehiriporã (the children (of the drawings) of the dream). These stories were narrated by his father in the early 1960s, and the work resulting from these writings was published in two versions; one in 1980, for the external public, and another in 1995, aimed exclusively at the indigenous public, as part of the collection entitled Narrators of River Black, initially composed of eight works, of which the one analyzed here is number 1. This dialogue between myth and literature will be done through the work resulting from the narrative: Before the world did not exist-Mythology of the ancients Desana-Kêhíripõrã (1995) published with the help of a Catholic priest, Casimiro Beksta, who for many years lived with the Desana and with the peoples of the Alto Rio Negro, in the municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira. with the play. Dessana Desana (Teatro I, 1997), written by Marcio Souza, who also helped in the publication of this indigenous work and also in its dissemination. A qualitative approach of an exploratory nature was used with technical procedures of documentary and bibliographical research. The theorists chosen to base the research were mainly those who dialogue with its theme, namely: Mircea Eliade, with Myth and reality (2019) among other works of his cited here that deal with the subject in question; Bronislaw Malinowski, who wrote Argonauts of the Western Pacific: an account of the enterprise and adventure of the natives in the archipelagos of Melanesian New Guinea (1976), a theoretical treatise that laid the foundations of the participant-observer, who, in order to understand the culture of a people, needs to establish a relationship of conviviality with it; Marcos Frederico Kruger, with his work Amazonia: myth and reality (2005), will establish a dialogue between myth and literature, also analyzing the myths of the Desana.
