BORGES JUNIOR, Dorivaldo Pantoja; GONCALVES, Ricardo César  e  CECCARELLI, Paulo Roberto. Sexuality and mythology in the amazonian enchantment of the legend of the Boto: a psychoanalytic essay. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2021, n.55, pp.79-90. ISSN 0100-3437.

This essay aims to present introductory reflections on the relations between sexuality and mythological, more specifically in the Amazonian enchantment of the legend of Boto. The legend in question is one of the most famous narratives of the folklore of the region. Thus, a brief theoretical explanation was made about the legend and the symbolic aspects inherent to it to, finally, hallucinate them through fragments of the film He, the Boto (1987), directed by Walter Lima Jr. The discussion present in these writings presents aspects such as the return of archaic sexuality present in the boto figure, as well as the breaking of paradigms of Western cultural sexual morals. Thus, it was evidenced the richness of contents that the analysis of mythical constructions provides to the work of investigation of subjective and cultural processes.

Palavras-chave : Psychoanalysis; Sexuality; Mythology; Legend of the Boto; Amazon.
