A Morte e o morrer dos homens santos, dos amantes e dos políticos nos folhetos de literatura de Cordel

Abstract

The review presents the work entitled Loas que carpem: a morte na literatura de cordel, by Marinalva Vilar de Lima. This work deals with the theme of death and dying, holy men, lovers and politicians from a wide corpus of cordels that were analyzed in order to identify how death and dying are perceived in these literary works. Some conclusions stand out, but two of them are quite important. The first is that the mentality of cordel producers is influenced by a conservative Catholicism, and the second is that death and dying are part of the life of the communities that consume the cordels, who live it in a communal way, and experience it. in their daily lives, and consume them in literary works.
