Abstract
RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é analisar como agiu o colonizador ibérico quando chegou ao Novo Mundo e se deparou com povos nativos de culturas muito diversas e como ignorou totalmente os costumes e tentou invisibilizar o outro. Além do mais, o texto em questão visa discutir e examinar como elementos da cultura popular portuguesa foram infiltrados e ressignificados no Brasil e como os “restos ou rejeitados” fizeram para manter viva a sua base cultural. Para fazermos tal percurso apresentaremos a lenda da Moura Encantada e a da Moura Torta, ambas europeias, e as analisaremos tendo como contraponto as narrativas de mitos indígenas, dentre eles o da Iara, de forma a demonstrar que o caldeirão cultural não foi e não é uma via de mão única e que muitos de nossos personagens mitológicos encontrados, principalmente, nas florestas do Brasil e de outros países da América do Sul, renderam histórias e aguçaram o imaginário europeu, especialmente, sobre a Amazônia e tudo que nela pode ser reinventado. Para referendar nossas análises nos valeremos dos autores Walter Mignollo, Aníbal Quijano, Edgardo Lander e Frantz Fanon.
