Abstract

Luís Gonzaga Gomes (1907-1976) is one of the most relevant sinologists that write in Portuguese. Born Macanese, he contributed not only on historiographic matters, but also on philology, popular culture, language and music subjects. His rigorous action as a scholar helped Macanese to found their identity through documental and scientific means. He also collected some current legends and mythical narratives at that time. In this paper we intend to reveal how myth, here shown by these narratives, could have aided this effort to develop an identity fixation.
