Abstract(s)
Não sendo o mito uma realidade petrificada no tempo, a plasticidade que o
caracteriza permite que ele seja reaproveitado para se defenderem ou criticarem
novos valores.
Com a presente dissertação pretendemos mostrar como, nomeadamente a
partir da peça Kassandra de Hans Schwarz, assistimos a uma reconfiguração do mito
de Cassandra transformando o poder do seu conhecimento superior num importante
veículo de uma ideologia, o nacional-socialismo. Mediante uma interacção entre o
tempo mítico e o tempo presente, encontramos uma Cassandra que defende e
reproduz valores absolutamente essenciais para o regime do III Reich e para a sua
fundamentação ideológica, entre os quais a exaltação do nacionalismo exacerbado, a
justificação da guerra contra os inimigos da Pátria e a proclamação da necessária
sujeição e sacrifício do indivíduo às exigências da Nação.
ABSTRACT: Since the myth is not a reality petrified in time, the plasticity that characterizes it allows it to be reused to defend or criticize new values. With this dissertation, one wants to demonstrate that, particularly from the play Kassandra written by Hans Schwarz, one witnesses a reconfiguration of Cassandra’s myth, based on the power of her superior knowledge, which is transformed into an important vehicle for an ideology – the National Socialism. Via an equivalence of the mythical time with the current time, one finds a Cassandra that defends and reproduces values absolutely essential for the Third Reich and its ideological framework, including the exaltation of extreme nationalism, the justification of war against Motherland’s enemies and the proclamation of the necessary submission and sacrifice of the individual to the Nation’s demands.
