RESUMO

The main hypothesis that conducts this analysis assumes that a myth plays a ro11 of a founder discourse. However, it is not enough just to assume this statement, it is necessary to demonstra te the operating discoursive mechanisms of the myth, as well as to show in which circumstances and in which ways its character of foünding discourse is manifested in the discoursive practices of an oral tradition society, as is the case of the mbyá guarani indians. Considering that, the analysis is structered in form of argumentative movements, whose aim is to support the initial hypothesis, and to demonstrate, using both native texts and those of the specialists, as the different forros of discoursive acts of that indigenous nation are saturated by the myth. Thus, if in mythic narratives it is possible to detect refletions of the states of the social relations development, according to the processes of self-image formation and projection, then the organization and social functioning likewise reflect the founding principIes established by this narrative structure, considering that between myth and society a double mirror reflection play takes place. It s in the effects produced by this double mirroring play that the Discourse Analysis operates. The analysis consists, then, in pointing the forms and levels inlby which the founding myth supports the nets of meanings that, in turn, inform and saturate the mbyá instituent imaginary. A methodological path like that implies, firstly, to consider the discoursive nature of the myth and to relate it to bistoricity and verbal art. Secondly, it leads to the demonstrarion of its omnipresence in whatever is said or even when silenced is signifying manifestation; in the peoplets juridic-historical structuring, what includes, regarding the mbyá indians, the development of an order of rarionality based in the religious reason, responsible for one of their most outstanding characteristics: the messianic prophetism and the search for the Yvy Marã Ey (Land Without Evil). The study of the mbyá foundind discourse, considering the complexity of relations and implications which are established between mythic and social orders, envolved for its analytical fTaming, besides the AD s theoretical concepts, the use of notions such as magma of significances, radical instituent imaginary, ideological image andJor form and mechanisms of psicologicaI validity of ideology. They operate as methodological investment to reach the heterogeneous layers and manifestations of the mbyá society which are impregnated by the foundational mythic discourse, that reciprocaly manifests that people s historical-ideological formation, which constitutes the hard core of its radical instituent imaginary. The comprehension of the myth as a magma of significances is correlated to its understanding as constituent of what in it is represented: the imaginary reason that maintains the society. Therefore, its necessary to understand that the society signifying foundation, viewed as a historical and social process, reports to the myth. lts this correlation that allows to state that ali the streams of meanings, the said and unsaid and the interdict of the mbyá discoursive order make sensc because the myth is meaningful
