          Abstract

          Analisa-se na obra de Josué de Castro a eclosão da metáfora 'homem-caranguejo', criada para designar uma nova espécie de homem que habitava os mangues do Recife. Procede-se a uma releitura do texto de onde provém a metáfora com o propósito de revelar a existência subjacente de outras figuras, como a sinédoque e a metonímia. O olhar recaiu fundamentalmente sobre três obras: Documentário do Nordeste, onde o autor descreve o 'ciclo do caranguejo'; Fatores de localização da cidade do Recife e Homens e caranguejos, romance autobiográfico. Busca-se ainda compreender duas recentes atualizações da metáfora original, a partir da hipérbole homem-gabiru e da personificação caranguejo-com-cérebro.

          Translated abstract

          This article analyzes the creation of the metaphor 'crab man' in the works of Josué de Castro to designate the kind of men that lived in Recife swamps. The text where the metaphor was first used is analyzed in the attempt to detect the existence of other figures of speech, such as synecdoche and metonymy. Three of Castro's texts have been analyzed: Documentário do Nordeste, where the author describes the 'crab cycle'; Fatores de localização da cidade do Recife and Homens e caranguejos an autobiographical novel. The present article also tries to understand two recent updated forms of the original metaphor - gabiru men and crabs-with-brains.
