Oráculos da cidade do Natal: uma tradução da fala popular

Abstract

This work of Conclusion of Course II sought to gather, understand and analyze stories of the city of Natal for the creation of a system of esoteric cards In order to cross the two universes, it was necessary to read the book of the potiguar historian Luís da Câmara Cascudo, History of the City of Natal, where the "causos" reported come from official records from the time of colonization and mainly from popular speech, his understanding, also interspersed with Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth, can be decoded in the light of the intersemiotic conceptualized with the understanding of Santaella, in such a way that it was possible, after analyzing the types of esoteric card games, to relate these causes to its symbology. These cards ultimately do not symbolize only archetypes, they carry with them the culture of the city, facts, often forgotten, that have helped in their identity construction, and still carry the word of Câmara Cascudo with them.
