Habemus Natália Correia: spiritual unity, in a world in demand

Abstract

We aim with our work to demonstrate that the literary work of Natália Correia is oriented towards a world of ecumenism, where, without concrete religious concerns, spiritual unity can develop. This idea of spirituality permeates a set of strategies, of literary traits, that summon the narrowness between reality and imagination. From this healthy confrontation between the elements, once expressed, results the aesthetics and the art of Natália Correia, for that reason, we express that Habemus Natalia, because the originality of the author lies in the fact of potentiating a progressive world, where the return to the edenic representation, projects the construction of a different space, unique and simultaneously original.

Natália Correia does not deny religiosity, even if she does not directly express the acceptance of one or other religion, since she understands that all are derived from the same origin, so it does not make sense to speak of divergence, but rather of its opposite. For this reason, we reveal that Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity and other religions are studied and projected in the literary work of Natália Correia. We will illustrate, in our work, the reuniting contact of the author with the various religions.

The natalian writing prefigures the harmonization of the opposing elements, of the non-consonant parts, with the intention of deepening the margin of freedom that men and women can have, in a refusal to the masculine superiority. Natália Correia seeks essentially to expose the sensitive man, which encompasses feminine sensibility and masculine virility.

We reveal how all the literary modes, in which Natalia Correia original and unpublished literary work extends (Narrative, Dramatic and Lyric), converge towards the unity of meaning. At this confluence there is an “almost utopian” exhibition, which provides for the conception, although not expressed in a single work, of a new world, where everyone can feel free and salvation is configured.
