Abstract

The novel Lavoura Arcaica , by Raduan Nassar, presents in its narrative structure, a series of symbols that refer to the universe of tradition and its collapse. Thus, it builds two semantic sets according to the establishment of semantic distinctions between the values of family and the feelings of the individual protagonist. This article examines the meaning of the symbols evoked by the narrator, setting pairs of opposition and networks of relationships in order to understand the cultural renewal from a symbolic subversion.
