| Resumo: | This dissertation aims to analyze the representations of Cleopatra and the Egypt created
by Plutarch in his book Life of Antony. In the Roman general biography, Plutarch registers
his vision of the queen of Egypt and the East. From an ideologically marked point of view
of a citizen from a Greek polis (Chaeronea) who lived under Roman control, Plutarch
narrates his vision of the East, (re)configures facts, data, in short, his own history with a
biographical, documentary and historical writing but strategically, at the same time,
dramatic, theatrical, emotional and moralizing. This research intends to show that
Plutarch, by composing the image of Cleopatra and the representation of Egypt, does so
from an imperialistic and orientalist perspective, in conformity with the Roman version
of the facts. The main analytical categories used to achieve this dissertation are, mainly,
imperialism, orientalism, romanization and representation/identity. The theoretical tools,
as well as the selected authors and texts, offer the necessary epistemological basis to
support the analytical procedures and allow to develop some points of view on the
chosen corpus. The methodology used to develop the analysis is based on the traditional
form of historiographer work, that is, the internal and external critiques of the sources,
combined with the contents analysis. Plutarch, from the stereotypical oppositional
dichotomies sustained by the moralistic and moralizing ideologies, subdues the Queen of
Egypt and the East, in favor of a supposed superiority based on a cultural and moral
hierarchy, in agreement with Roman propaganda. |
