ABSTRACT
This essay addresses the theme of the formation of the archetype and its
relationship to the Brazilian Indian, using as a mechanism of adaptation an
archetypal model already consolidated in the popular imagination, namely Adam
and Eve and their short existence in the Garden of Paradise, in which the
comparison becomes a target of indignation when it is assumed that the two
characters were expelled from their land because of a crime and the Brazilian
natives are expelled because of the greed of the white man. Thus, this
archetype of a good individual, but wronged, gains strength through the
literature that claims to be specialized. This is a bibliographical essay.
Traditionally, an archetype does not intend to represent a bizarre objective
about some target object and, if this happens in the case of the indigenous
people, it is precisely because Brazil, after centuries, is still a European
colony, enslaved by the pathetic sense of believing that it is a representation
of the old world and, under a spirit of overprotection of its native peoples,
in which the opulence of laws aimed at the full protection of someone so
harmless disguises its true intentions of keeping them as something rare, a
symbol of the virtuousness of the land, creating a contrast with the people who
originated from the mixture of others, as if the admission that they were all
natural Brazilians represented a cause for disturbance, violating the natural
right of the indigenous people and provoking divine wrath because of the
hybridization that all Brazilian people represent; Thus, reality is denied,
adopting an extra semantic condition, in which the native remains pure and the
European does not recognize himself as contaminated through consanguineous
crossing. The interpretation that is projected onto the psychology of the
object, in this case, is controversial in itself, because it is based on
information that is produced and disseminated for ideological purposes of
maintaining a vision created many centuries ago, as if the full impact of technological
development and national thought could not affect indigenous people. Social
indignation is evident when Brazilian aborigines present themselves using
modern cars and communication devices, using machines for planting and
harvesting, as if they were obliged to persist in their traditional methods.
Keywords: Indigenous. Archetype. Jungian Psychology. Social constructs.
