Karina Carvalho de Matos Marques, « From The Epic Poem Chapbook To The Comics: Walking Through The Raymond Cantel Collection », HAL-SHS : littérature, ID : 10670/1.p39ntt
Our article offers a comparative analysis of two epic cordel poems belonging to the Raymon Cantel Cordel Literature Fund: A História do valente João Acaba-Mundo e a serpente negra by Minelvino Francisco Silva and A Chegada de Lampião no inferno by José Pacheco, in their reissues in comics published by the publishing house Prelúdio in 1971. Our objective is to analyze the conservation of some structural aspects of the traditional epic poem and how the classical, biblical and medieval epos were recast in these cordéis for the construction of a sertanejo/nordestino epos, presenting two distinct epic heroes: the retirante and the cangaceiro. For this, we will rely, among other things, on the concepts of “triple conflict” (GOYET, 2021) and “hybrid cultural subject” (RAMALHO, 2022). Finally, we will analyze the relationship between the editorial format of the cordel in comics and the identification of a regional or national epos
