Abstract

In this article we intend to examine the book Correspondências, by Péricles Prade, to show how the author dialogues with other authors, thus expressing dialogism, with a view to revisiting the past by parody. On the other hand, this intertextual dialogue is at the service of an analogical understanding of the world that is governed by correspondences between everything that exists. This analogical understanding of things makes the author based on a non-Cartesian logic, nourished by daydreaming, madness, delirium.
