Abstract(s)
Este estudo pretende evidenciar as características específicas e originais da fábula
enquanto género literário. Apresentamos a evolução do conceito referindo alguns dos
períodos mais significativos da nossa cultura ocidental, o período clássico, a idade
média e o renascimento. A reflexão de La Fontaine e o intenso debate posterior contribuíram
para a emergência de uma consciência cultural comum. Apresentamos também
uma análise e uma interpretação mitocrítica das características formais e ideológicas da
fábula enquanto género alegórico. Referimos algumas das fábulas mais conhecidas e
recorrentes em Portugal, as suas morais e as conotações culturais dos seus principais
protagonistas. A investigação relaciona a fábula com outros géneros alegóricos e com a
forma mais tradicional da cultura popular: o provérbio.
The purpose of this paper is to outline the original and distinctive characteristics of the fable as a literary genre. We review the development of the fable concept, referring to some fundamental stages in Western culture, specifically focussing on the Greek, Medieval and Renaissance periods. La Fontaine’s interpretation of the fable and the ensuing intense literary debate contributed to the emergence of a common European cultural consciousness. We develop here an analysis and interpretation of the formal and ideological specificity of the fable as an allegorical genre, using critical myth analysis and interpretation methods. This study also presents some of the most popular fables in Portugal, their moral lessons and the cultural connotations of their main characters. The research connects the fable with other allegorical genres and the most traditional and popular form: the proverb.
