Comunicação, mito e sincronicidade: um olhar sobre a obra de Mircea Eliade

Abstract

This is a comprehensive gaze upon mythologist Mircea Eliade’s works The myth of the eternal return and The sacred and the profane. Mythical narratives originated in different cultures are more connected by meaning than by cause and effect logics. Thus, in this paper we understand myth and communication as two ways of guidance in the world, also adding Carl  Gustav  Jung’s  and  Wolfgang  Pauli’s  notion  of  synchronicity  as  a  possible  key  for  connections  between  myths.  In  the  comprehension  as  a  method’s  process  of  “weaving  together”,  we  establish  dialogues  with different forms of knowledge in our route – myth, communication, psychiatry  and  modern  physics.  Cremilda  Medina,  Joseph  Campbell  and Dimas Künsch lend us their perceptions in this work.
