Resumo: Este ensaio prioriza uma leitura da poetica do escritor norte-americano William Faulkner (1897-1962) articulada a teorias culturais e filosoficas sobre o mito e busca compreender as relacoes que se estabelecem entre a estetica faulkneriana e a (re)criacao da tradicao sulista, que pode ser interpretada como um discurso mitico. O artigo reflete sobre a relacao do escritor com o mito sulista e sobre o tratamento literario que e conferido a tematica em seus romances. A investigacao proposta torna evidente que Faulkner se situa em uma encruzilhada existencial, bifurcada entre a defesa e a denuncia da tradicao de sua terra natal. A (re)criacao literaria do universo mitico sulista permite, ao escritor, problematizar a narrativa mitica em que se converteu a tradicao, questionando sobretudo suas limitacoes ideologicas. O esforco em narrar a cronica do Sul tambem e uma tentativa possivel de reconstrucao do sentido existencial de uma comunidade esfacelada pela Guerra de Secessao e pelas vertiginosas mudancas historico-economicas. Palavras-chave: William Faulkner; mito; tradicao; gotico do Sul. Abstract: This essay proposes a reading of the poetics of William Faulkner, by linking it to cultural and philosophical theories about myth, and it intends to understand the established relations between Faulkner’s aesthetics and his creative review of the Southern tradition, read as a mythical discourse. This paper reflects about the relation between the writer and the Southern myth and it speculates about the literary handling consecrated to such theme in his novels. The research brings to light that Faulkner faces an existential forked crossroad that encourages him to defense and denouncement of his homeland tradition. The literary (re)creation of the Southern mythical universe allows the writer to problematize the mythical narrative the tradition evolved into and to question its ideological boundaries. The effort into narrating the Southern chronicle is also a possible attempt to rebuild the existential meaning of a community shattered by American Civil War and by vertiginous historical and economical changes. Keywords: William Faulkner; myth; tradition; Southern Gothic.
