Tnugdalus, Hell, CarnivalAbstract
This article contains an introductory presentation of the medieval text Vision of Tnugdalus, a description of the context of its emergence and its discursive genre, and a theoretical reflection on its content from the Bakhtinian concept of carnivalization and other concepts of historical approach that are part of the reflection of scholars who describe medieval popular culture and the phenomena correlated with this text. The part of the Vision of Tnugdalus that narrates the visionary's passage through hell is exclusively delimited. In this study, the synchronic aspect stands out and the proposed discussion applies to the depth of the imaginary, to the cultural phenomenon that manifests itself in the narrative. From the Cassirerian cultural point of view, on which Bakhtin is based, texts of this kind, very common in the Middle Ages, represent a symbolic resource to overcome the fear of death, which is intrinsically part of the cosmovision of the human being endowed with culture.
