| Resumo: | This paper explores the complex and intrinsic relationship between literature and spirituality,
focusing on the intersection between shamanism and Native American Literature. The main
objective is to understand the role of indigenous cosmology, that is, shamanism in Native
American literature and to examine how shamanic elements are portrayed in Paula Gunn
Allen's novel, The Woman who Owned the Shadows (1983). Through bibliographical research
and literary analysis based on the fundamental concepts of theoliterature (BOAS, 2011), this
research analyzes how shamanism interacts with both the content and the form of the novel.
The results reveal that shamanism permeates the entire work, shaping its narrative structure
and thematic content and contributing to the novel's density as a tool for survival,
transmission, and cultural preservation. By delving into the representation of shamanistic
elements in The Woman who Owned the Shadows (1983), this study sheds light on the
importance of indigenous perspectives, contributing to the discussion about Native American
Literature in the Brazilian academic scenario. |
