Edição e heresia: o livro de Daniel

Abstract

Edition and Heresy: The book of Daniel is a work that studies and analyzes the Book of Daniel in its oral and written communication since the first centuries b.a.c. (before age commom). Being an apocalyptic gender, it s important to consider the main characteristics of the apocaliptic literature. Starting from the social origin of this literature and from a supposed historical-cultural context, I start the apocalyptic matrix of Daniel and its interactions with myths and magic from the world at that time. Firstly, this work will start with the approximation and study of the text that has been transmitted, communicated and rebuilt in new situations. In the first part of this research, my intention consists of studying the entire symbolism of the Book of Daniel which leads us to the imaginary and daisly life of its authors and to their different social and cultural contexts. In such perspective, I with point and the mixture of the oral, voicing and writing in the text. Secondly, I will follow the steps of the communication of the Book od Daniel in the Christianity context, asking for the circulations of the images and symbols at the Christian imaginary in its origins. So, in the third part, I will look for the reception of this book (Daniel) in colonized America through the reading and interpretations of the priest Antonio Vieira, among others
