MR.LULA AS MYTH,TOTEM AND TABU

In this article I intend to demonstrate that Mr. Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, president of Brazil, gained the MYTH dimensions, TOTEM and TABOO. Myth is defined by the Houaiss as “mental construction of something idealized, without practical evidence,  as the myth it good savage or (I add) the myth of the president of the poor persons. I believe, however, that Lula surpasses the classification of being a myth and for its long career politics, that strong was supported by the media and the bishops of the Church Catholic, it if it became a TOTEM and a TABU  for great part of its voters who had never heard to speak of left or marxism. In this last four year it got rid itself, also, of any dependence of the PT and as it analyzed very well the magazine VEJA what it exists today is the Lulismo as we had, in the past the Getulismo. Voters of  Lula are found in part of the middle class, the great entrepreneurs, industrials and bankers, evangélicos and bishops and cardinals of the Church Catholic. I leave, as analysis hypothesis, that Lula, for the poor persons in all the directions, if became a myth, a taboo and one totem.  I  will make a reflection that is not “politically correct” on this electorate. Research carried through in certain regions northeast  had disclosed that the illiteracy is very high and that adult they had not arrived at a level of logical reasoning. For these Brazilians the president gains the dimension of totem, of a protector, in the direction that it creates a new law and until a moral and that he leaves its mouth, pointing who is the culprits, that is, “they, the elite, the politicians of the PSDB and the PFL”.  Lula as TABOO, gains the prohibition of being touched, and of this form it places yourself above of any law and the excessively mortal ones. Now, after the last  election and declaring that it will make a government for the poor persons, it if became a TOTEM, a protector, as they were totens of the islands of the Pacific or the indians of the North America. One remembers that word “TOTEM” comes of the tribe of the Algokians and means it “is its brother and its sister”. I doubt that in next the four years – 2007 the 2010 – will be enough so that Lula  loses this almost religious dimension of being “TOTEM and TABU for millions of Brazilians. If it not to lose is well posssível who will make its successor or successor and the pectoris name that it brings “in” is Dilma Rousseff that will come with the powerful argument of being the first woman to preside over Brazil.
