Abstract

In this essay, we examine the representational images in the short-story “Boi da Cara Preta”, from Carlos Carvalho’s Calendário do Medo. The initial hypothesis is that the character’s images are implicit to an unconscious concept of the subjectprovoking in the reader an unsettling strangeness as well as a familiar yet repressed feeling. This study has the theoretical support of Jean Piaget, Sigmund Freud, Todorov, Dilthey and Harry Garuba. Before being characterized as an antagonistic process regarding the rational and scientific thought, the unusual element is associated to it as one of the different ways of thinking and representing reality.
