Abstract(s)
«Adão e Eva no Paraíso» é um conto de Eça de Queirós. Nele trava-se um interessante diálogo entre duas visões epistemológicas em permanente confronto: por um lado a Bíblica, representante do criacionismo e, por outro, a perspetiva evolucionista. Eça trava, assim, um interessante diálogo entre as duas perspetivas referidas, nunca excluindo uma em detrimento da outra, assumindo uma posição neutra. A tetractis pitagória serve de estrutura formal ao conto. Esta pirâmide é preenchida e ornamentada com os recursos e a força dominadora que os símbolos lhe emprestam: por um lado, os números concorrem para compor as sequências temporais (da criação e da evolução) que compõem o enredo; por outro, a simbologia dos elementos vai fazendo subir, degrau a degrau, o estado de hominização de Adão, na complementaridade de Eva que bate as pedras da civilização, rumo à perfeição que se manifesta na atividade artística.
"Adam and Eve in Paradise" is a short story by Eça de Queirós. It presents an interesting dialogue between two epistemological views in permanent conflict: on one hand the Bible, representative of creationism and on the other, the evolutionary perspective. Thus, Eça faces a dialogue between those two perspectives, never excluding one over the other, assuming a neutral position. The pythagorean tetractis serves as a formal structure to the short story. This pyramid is completed and ornamented with the resources and dominating force that the symbols lend to it: on one hand, the figures compete to compose the temporal sequences (of creation and evolution) that make up the plot; on the other, the symbolism of the elements will lead, step by step, to the humanization state of Adam, within the complementarity of Eve who hits the stones of civilization, toward perfection revealed in artistic activity.
