Abstract

From the analysis of a malê writing, it is intended here to apprehend the discursive structure that underlies any community project and to reveal the narrative dimension that "models" its ethos and inscribes it in the founding myth responsible for its rootedness in the past and its projection for the future. One of the theses defended in this work concerns the double virtuality of every community project: on the one hand, in the sense of the precedence of its pregnancy and discursive potentiality over its concrete material manifestation and, on the other, precisely in the religious case, as "praxis" and A-space and atemporal "poiesis" instituted in an original speech and a primordial, eternal and omnipresent narrativity.
