LITURATERRA [Resenha: 2018, 4] O Jardim Secreto

Abstract

The reviews, literary passages and esthetic passages in Passagens: International Journal of Political History and Legal Culture are published in a section entitled LITURATERRA [Lituraterre]. This neologism was created by Jacques Lacan, to refer to the multiple effects present in semantic slips and word plays, taking James Joyce’s slip in using letter for litter as a starting point, not to mention the references to Lino, litura and liturarius in referring to political history, to the Pope to have succeeded the first (Peter); the culture of the terra [earth], aesthetics, law, literature, as well as the legal references – both canonical and non-canonical – when such expressions are distanced from those which are religious, dogmatic or fundamentalist, merely meaning ‘dominant’ or ‘hegemonic’.
