Abstract

In this paper we revisit Peirce's concept of icon, which comprehends the metaphors, hipoicons in which the similarities with the object. are established through a paralelism with something that is external to both sign and object. In order to explore the heuristic potential of such definition from the perspective of comprehension as a method, we investigate here the presence of signs that are predominantly metaphorical, which would be responsible for allowing for a dialogical rapprochement between the several different universes of Umbanda, a religion that was created in Brazil and in which christian, african and indigenous traditions interact.
