In view of crisis lived by the human community, mainly from the mid-twentieth century onwards, solidarity emerged as a theme of fundamental importance both from an ethical and anthropological point of view. In this way, it received different interpretations by the most varied fields of knowledge. In christian theology, it gains relevance both in magisterial documents and in the reflection of different theological lines. Thus, its specificity and importance in J.B. Metz can be understood, for whom the term becomes a category of great relevance in the development of his ideas, associating it with two other key concepts for the theologian: memory and narration. With that in mind, this dissertation seeks to promote an approximation between the theological sense of solidarity, emphasizing Metz s thought, but expanding the issue to other theological spaces, such as the Latin American context and the current appeal of Pope Francis in the direction of of a rescue on the deepest sense of solidarity. In addition, it seeks to expand the horizon of reflection from the proposition of a possible dialogue between the work of the German theologian and the literary wealth expressed by the literature of João Guimarães Rosa, recognized as one of the greatest poets in Brazilian literature. From Rosiano s corpus, the richness of his short stories stands out in the research, with the main accent being placed on the short story Sorôco, sua Mãe, sua daughter, where the author provides his readers with a sensitive reflection on suffering and solidarity. Thus, the research highlights the importance of the two fields of knowledge, their specificities and meeting points, seeks to present the sense of solidarity expressed in each of the authors and, finally, recognize spaces for possible dialogues between the writers, and also in relation to Latin American theological thought and the convictions expressed by the current pontiff.
