David, Lucie. "La fortune critique de Paul Morin, 1908-1958 /." Thesis, McGill University, 1992. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=56946.
Full textAbstract:
The poetical works of Paul Morin are not very well known, and are rarely ever read today. And yet, he was the successor of Emile Nelligan and Albert Lozeau. Paul Morin is one of the first French Canadians to publish his works in France and it was said of his collection of poems Le Paon d'email that it was the spark that ignited the famous "Querelle des regionalistes et des exotiques" in French Canada. Unfortunately, the negative reactions of some of his first critics, were to determine for a long time those of future generations.This thesis focuses on the critical reception of Paul Morin's first two published books: Le Paon d'email (1911) and Poemes de cendre et d'or (1922), and attempts as well to retrace their critical fortunes up until the beginning of the sixties.

Fudge, Heather Lynn. "L' autobiographie et le personnage de fiction chez Simone de Beauvoir." Thesis, McGill University, 1995. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=22587.
Full textAbstract:
The corpus of this project consists of the five volumes of Simone de Beauvoir's memoirs: Memoires d'une jeune fille rangee, La force de l'age, La force des choses I, La force des choses II and Tout compte fait. In this study, we have considered the difficulties of self-analysis and examined the limitations and demands of the genre of autobiography.A memoir is not simply the reconstruction of the author's past, but a personal interpretation of this past which often includes discrepancies between the narrative and the reality of his or her life. The autobiographer's primary objective is not to deliver the historical facts of his or her existence, but to show a self beneath the person that appears to the world. In our research, we have found that the value and truth of Simone de Beauvoir's autobiography arise from her creation of a character she sees as embodying her own distinct personality.

Shah, Uttamlal T. "The solo songs of Edward MacDowell : an examination of style and literary influence." Virtual Press, 1987. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/515624.
Full textAbstract:
Edward MacDowell is widely recognized as America's first great native-born composer. His music has come to be characterized as being extremely lyrical and harmonically inventive. Solo songs constitute an overlooked area of MacDowell's output and no serious study has been undertaken of them to date. The goal of this dissertation is to obtain a more complete portrait of MacDowell through a detailed examination of his songs.Previously unstudied manuscripts and sketches from the MacDowell Collection of the Library of Congress provide important insights into his songwriting process. The choice of text proved to be such an important determinant in MacDowell's settings that the author has chosen to divide the songs into three stylistic groupings based primarily on MacDowell's selection of texts rather than on chronology.In MacDowell's first-period songs, he concentrated on setting German texts while living in Germany from 1880 to 1888. Poetry by Heine, Goethe, and Klopstock plays an important role in these songs, which are stylistically similar to the nineteenth-century Lied. Chromatic harmonies, frequent modulations, and active piano accompaniments characterize these songs.MacDowell's second-period songs, written between 1886 and 1890, use English texts and differ markedly from the earlier Lieder. While many of their texts (and consequently, best songs of this group show the development of MacDowell's characteristic harmonic language and lyricism.The second-period songs serve as a transition into MacDowell's final songwriting period (c. 1893-1901), during which he wrote his most successful works. The third-period songs are delineated by the use of original poetry and represent a synthesis of the first two periods. The chromaticism and active piano parts of the lieder are combined with the new lyricism of the second-period songs.Songwriting spans MacDowell's entire career and is evidence of the seriousness with which he viewed the medium. A thorough study of the songs, both published and unpublished, reveals a steady line of development throughout MacDowell's career, with many musical advances predicated by the text. This development, which closely mirrors similar advances in the piano music, is an important factor in MacDowell's entire creative output.

Simpson, Beverly Hurley. "Discovering the heart's truth : female initiation in the novels of Eudora Welty." Virtual Press, 1988. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/546128.
Full textAbstract:
The female characters in four of Eudora Welty's five novels, The Robber Bridegroom (1942), Delta Wedding (1946), Losing Battles (1970), and The Optimist's Daughter (1972), undergo initiation experiences which are significant elements in the content and structure of the novels. Only in The Ponder, Heart (1954) is female initiation notably missing. This study identifies and interprets the patterns of female initiation in these novels, showing Welty's refining of her understanding and presentation of female initiation. While Welty embraces certain traditional elements of initiation, which this study identifies in anthropological, mythological, and psychological studies--the loss of innocence (discovery of evil), crisis and confrontation, the gaining of wisdom however painful, becoming an outcast, yet reuniting with the community--she also adds her own elements regarding female initiation-an underlying tension between males and females or between females and a shadowing of the Demeter/Persephone (Kore) myth. In addition, her female initiates lack the mentor traditionally found in male initiation. Also reflected in Welty's fiction is the separation involved in female initiation in primitive cultures, mythology, and psychology. Not all of Welty's female characters in these novels undergo initiation; someremain static and unchanging, while others are at the threshold, eagerly waiting to cross over. While Welty's initiates make the dark journey alone to gain knowledge of themselves and the world however painful, their initiation does not signify the end of their growth.Department of English

Epstein, Heidi. "The nature of the relationship between music and theology according to Oskar Söhngen and Oliver Messiaen /." Thesis, McGill University, 1990. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=59296.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates a "universal" question--what the exact nature of the relationship between music and theology is--by examining two particulars: (1) the music and thought of the French Roman Catholic composer Olivier Messiaen, and (2) the theology of music of Protestant theologian/musicologist Oskar Sohngen.It should be emphasized, however, that the main focus of the paper is upon the "particulars," since the primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the remarkable similarity of thought which exists between the theory of Sohngen and the musical practice of Messiaen. After an exposition of Sohngen's three categories of relationship between music and theology (music as science, as worship, and as creatura) there is an extensive examination of Messiaen's compositional techniques which reveals the latter's implicit use of these same three categories.
In the final chapter of this work, after a discussion of several problems which are inherent in each of the particular approaches to music and theology, there is a return to the universal question, in response to which a precise, working definition is finally established.

Neithamer, Julie, and Julie Neithamer. "Paul Taffanel: the man and his work." Diss., The University of Arizona, 1989. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/624858.
Full textAbstract:
To most flutists, Paul Taffanel is known for his Method and as the "Father" of the French school of flute playing. Considering the import of this title, little research has been done on him. It is the goal of this researcher to present a more complete picture of Taffanel than has previously been seen.
To understand the significance of some of the things Taffanel did, it is necessary to know what study at the Paris Conservatoire was like. Lessons were given in classes in which all levels of playing were represented. There was no individual study, and until 1945, there was only one flute class. The number in the class was usually 12, and entry into it was by competitive audition. These auditions were held every October, and the Concours (public exam) was held each July. Requirements for the Concours included a set piece for each instrument (called Morceau de Concours) and a piece of accompanied sightreading.
The jury was chaired by the Director of the Conservatoire, with both internal and external jurors. Taffanel sat in on at least two of these juries before he became professor of flute at the Conservatoire. The awards given were First or Second Prize or First or Second Certificate of Merit. A prize means playing against a certain standard, not competition between individual candidates. As a result, more than one First Prize could be awarded, or it could be withheld altogether. A First Prize was really necessary for a successful musical career.
In Paris, there were many theatre and concert orchestras. There were also salons in which to play chamber music, but the best positions available were in the Paris Opéra and Opéra- Comique. These were government subsidised and had full -time employment and state pension on retirement. There was also the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire which gave annual Sunday concerts between November and April. Membership into this orchestra was by election. The most successful flutist therefore was one who had gained a First Prize and held positions at the Paris Opera and Société des Concerts.

Marion, Carol A. v. "Distorted Traditions: the Use of the Grotesque in the Short Fiction of Eudora Welty, Carson Mccullers, Flannery O'connor, and Bobbie Ann Mason." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2004. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4591/.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that the four writers named above use the grotesque to illustrate the increasingly peculiar consequences of the assault of modernity on traditional Southern culture. The basic conflict between the views of Bakhtin and Kayser provides the foundation for defining the grotesque herein, and Geoffrey Harpham's concept of "margins" helps to define interior and exterior areas for the discussion. Chapter 1 lays a foundation for why the South is different from other regions of America, emphasizing the influences of Anglo-Saxon culture and traditions brought to these shores by the English gentlemen who settled the earliest tidewater colonies as well as the later influx of Scots-Irish immigrants (the Celtic-Southern thesis) who settled the Piedmont and mountain regions. This chapter also notes that part of the South's peculiarity derives from the cultural conflicts inherent between these two groups. Chapters 2 through 5 analyze selected short fiction from each of these respective authors and offer readings that explain how the grotesque relates to the drastic social changes taking place over the half-century represented by these authors. Chapter 6 offers an evaluation of how and why such traditions might be preserved. The overall argument suggests that traditional Southern culture grows out of four foundations, i. e., devotion to one's community, devotion to one's family, devotion to God, and love of place. As increasing modernization and homogenization impact the South, these cultural foundations have been systematically replaced by unsatisfactory or confusing substitutes, thereby generating something arguably grotesque. Through this exchange, the grotesque has moved from the observably physical, as shown in the earlier works discussed, to something internalized that is ultimately depicted through a kind of intellectual if not physical stasis, as shown through the later works.

"Meaning, agency, and corporeal identity: "simultaneity" as a condition of Butler's performativity and Merleau-Ponty's bodily interntionality." Awarded by:University of New South Wales. History & Philosophy, 2007. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/40600.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Judith Butler's account of performative agency in relation to its critics, in particular, the question of whether Butler's thesis disavows materiality and thereby agency. These questions are answered by reading Butler's work through the work of Merleau-Ponty, in particular, by comparing Butler's account of performative agency to Merleau-Ponty's account of bodily intentionality. It is argued that a common ground underlies these featured concepts. I identify this common ground through the institution of the concept "simultaneity" to express a relationship of reciprocity between meaning and materiality through which ontological and epistemological significance is, reciprocally, sedimented and transformed; stabilised and destabilised.

Thesis (MA (Afrikaans and Dutch))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.This thesis is a comparative literature study of a Dutch and an Afrikaans novel that can be read by the youth and adults alike and display similarities with regard to genre, content, structure and theme. The novels are Winterijs (2001) by Peter van Gestel and Roepman (2004) by Jan van Tonder. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction. In chapter 2 concepts such as “crossover literature”, “cross publication”, “dual audience authors” and “dual audience literature” are discussed. Chapter 3 presents an overview of the theory that provides a conceptual framework for this study. The method of investigation that is followed by Helma Van Lierop-Debrauwer and Neel Bastiaansen-Harks (2005) in their study of the similarities and differences between an adolescent novel for the youth and an adolescent novel for adults is used, as well as the theory of Victor Turner (1969) on the concept of liminality. As it provides a useful method for approaching and analyzing the two texts, the above mentioned theories are applied to Winterijs and Roepman in Chapters 4 and 5, with specific reference to the representation of a male child narrator with liminal characteristics. In chapter 6 the similarities and differences between the two novels are pointed out and summarized. Conclusions are drawn and possibilities for further research are presented in chapter 7.

This dissertation discusses why and how Machado de Assis, in The Alienist , registers a certain cultural proximity among Carioca Imperial Court, French Court and the English one, between 1881 and 1882. For that, it was considered in our study that some narrative resources showed in this short story are developed into socio-cultural circumstances experienced by the author, between the 1860 s and 1880´s. Actually, it s in the process of his accommodation related to the job opportunities which are offered to him, in a condition of a chronicler and French and English translator, that the irony, the dialogal tone, the imaginary theater and the skepticism, are developed and elaborated by Machado de Assis in The Alienist . From this short story on, Machado de Assis addresses, as madness, the consumption without limit of hand-made products imported from France and England as well as the project of national identity, under influence of the relation between Rousseau s Romanticism and Positivism, of the Historical and Geographical Brazilian Institute (IHGB), and some political propositions made by intellectuals linked to Recife Faculty of Law, supported not only by Evolutionism and Social Darwinism, and from São Paulo Faculty of Law, but also by Positivism and Liberalism, as solution to promote the cultural progress of Brazil. Therefore, it s in the context of the second reign, characterized by a marked triumph of the cosmopolitism in the court, that Machado de Assis organizes characters to do ironies with this feature from a hidden methodology; learnt with Poe (1981), with an engaged posture under Hugo s influence (1982) and with a proposition of reflexion guided by Pirro s skeptical philosophy (2007). To sum up, to dramatize the life of the court from The Alienist , Machado de Assis seems to suggest that the supposed cause of Brazil s cultural backwardness, when compared to France and England, is not racial, but moral and political.
Essa dissertação discute porque e como Machado de Assis, em O Alienista, registra uma certa proximidade cultural da corte carioca com a França e com a Inglaterra, entre 1881 e 1882. Para isso, consideramos, em nosso estudo, que alguns recursos narrativos, trabalhados nesse conto, são desenvolvidos nas circunstâncias socioculturais vivenciadas pelo autor, entre as décadas 1860 e 1880. De fato, é no processo de sua acomodação ás oportunidades de trabalho que lhes são oferecidas, na condição de cronista e de tradutor da literatura francesa e inglesa, que a ironia, o tom dialogal, o teatro imaginário e o ceticismo são desenvolvidos e trabalhados por Machado de Assis, em O Alienista. A partir desse conto, Machado de Assis trata, como loucura, o consumo sem limites de manufaturas importadas da França e da Inglaterra, bem como o projeto de identidade nacional, sob a influência da relação entre o Romantismo rousseauniano e o Positivismo, do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro (IHGB), e algumas propostas políticas de intelectuais ligados a Faculdade de Direito do Recife, apoiado no Evolucionismo e no Darwinismo Social, e da Faculdade de Direito de São Paulo, amparado por idéias oriundas do Positivismo e do Liberalismo, como solução para promover o progresso cultural do Brasil. Desse modo, é no contexto do Segundo Reinado, caracterizado por um triunfo marcante do cosmopolitismo na corte, que Machado de Assis organiza personagens para ironizar com essa característica a partir de uma metodologia velada, aprendida com Poe (1981), com uma postura engajada sob a influência de Hugo (1982), e com uma proposta de reflexão orientada pela filosofia cética de Pirro (2007). Enfim, ao dramatizar a vida da corte a partir de O Alienista, Machado de Assis parece sugerir que a suposta causa do atraso cultural do Brasil, quando comparado com a França e a Inglaterra, não é racial, mas moral e político.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the construction of cultural identity in Mamma Medea by Tom Lanoye (2001) and it’s translation by Antjie Krog (2002) by employing various theories as well as exhausting binary oppositions, and analysing the way it relates to the difference in language use between the conflicting individuals and groups in the drama. Mamma Medea is based predominantly on two versions of the Greek myth of Medea and her shocking tale of infanticide in order to wound her deceitful spouse, Jason. It follows the long tradition in literature and art wherein Medea is used to comment on the subjugation and oppression of women and non-dominant groups, as well as on the formation of the Other. Lanoye uses the details of the Ancient account, but broadens the spectrum to include commentary on contemporary themes in order to seek an alternative motivation for her premeditated infanticide. The drama does not stay within the details of the intertexts, however, and is altered so that both Medea and Jason each kill one of their children. A context-relevant approach is followed to examine how Lanoye’s drama challenges modern myths surrounding cultural identity in the Flemish-Dutch context. The latter interpretation is warranted by linking Flemish en Dutch with the groups in the drama, in accordance with the real language tension between the two language regions. In contrast to this Krog makes use of much more dialectal forms of Afrikaans reflecting the multicultural and multilingual South-African context. Her translation is not studied from a purely translational, theoretical perspective, considering that the focus of the study is on differences in cultural identity and on the differences in context wherein the respective drama and translation is produced.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die konstruksie van kulturele identiteit in Mamma Medea van Tom Lanoye (2001) en in die vertaling daarvan deur Antjie Krog (2002) aan die hand van verskeie teorieë, asook met behulp van binêre opposisies, en analiseer die wyse waarop dit onder meer saamhang met die verskille in taalgebruik tussen konflikterende individue en groepe in die drama. Mamma Medea ontgin veral twee weergawes van Griekse mites oor Medea, wat haar twee seuns op skokkende wyse vermoor om haar verraderlike eggenoot, Jason, leed aan te doen, in aansluiting by ’n lang tradisie in die literatuur en kunste waarin dié figuur veral gebruik is om kommentaar te lewer op die uitbuiting en onderdrukking van vroue en nie-dominante groepe, asook die formasie van die die Ander in verhoudinge. Lanoye verruim in sy drama die onderwerp van die konvensionele huweliksdrama en betrek hedendaagse kwessies ten einde ’n geldige eietydse motivering te verskaf vir Medea se optrede. Hy wyk onder meer doelbewus af van die brontekste deurdat hy Medea en Jason elk ’n seun laat vermoor. ’n Gemeenskapsrelevante benadering word gevolg om na te gaan hoe Lanoye se drama in die proses moderne mites rondom kulturele identiteit uitdaag binne ’n Vlaamse-Nederlandse konteks. Laasgenoemde interpretasie word ondersteun deur onderskeidelik Vlaams en Nederlands te verbind met die hoofgroepe in die drama, in ooreenstemming met reële taalspanninge tussen die twee taalgebiede. Hierteenoor maak Krog van veel meer dialektiese taalvorme gebruik in aansluiting by die multikulturele Suid-Afrikaanse konteks. Haar vertaling word nie soseer vanuit ʼn vertaalwetenskaplike perspektief nagevors nie, aangesien die hooffokus val op sowel die verskille in kulturele identiteit as op verskille rakende die konteks waarin onderskeidelik die drama en die vertaling geproduseer is.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar acerca da recepção do escritor brasileiro Jorge Amado nos Estados Unidos, mais especificamente no jornal norte-americano New York Times. Para tanto, foram levantados cento e cinquenta e um artigos publicados no referido periódico, entre os anos de 1945 e 2001. Para uma melhor compreensão da recepção do autor, primeiramente, apresenta-se um histórico das relações políticas e culturais entre Brasil e Estados Unidos no período que antecede a Segunda Guerra Mundial até o final desta. Com a chamada “política da boa vizinhança”, ambos países se aproximaram. O estreitamento dos laços é um fator que contribuiu para entrada de Jorge Amado no polissistema literário norte-americano, em 1945, com o livro Terras do sem-fim. O livro de estreia foi publicado pela prestigiada editora Alfred Knopf. A trajetória editorial do escritor, que passou pelas editoras Avon Books e Bantam, também é apresentada. A militância comunista de Jorge Amado foi acompanhada e registrada pela CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), fato verificado em vinte e dois relatórios produzidos pelo órgão durante a Guerra Fria. Os documentos corroboram a hipótese de que os laços políticos do escritor fizeram com que ocupasse posição periférica no polissistema durante dezessete anos. Apenas em 1962, um segundo livro do autor, Gabriela, foi publicado nos Estados Unidos, resultando em um sucesso comercial e colocando o escritor em posição de centralidade no polissistema. Dos anos 1960 aos anos 1980, Jorge Amado foi frequentemente associado ao boom da literatura latino-americana. Nesta última década, o escritor foi redescoberto: o livro Tocaia grande recebeu a maior quantia, até então, pelos direitos autorais de um livro estrangeiro. Ao longo de sua recepção, Jorge Amado sempre foi mencionado no New York Times como sinônimo e símbolo de Brasil.Submitted by cmquadros@ucs.br (cmquadros@ucs.br) on 2018-03-16T12:38:58Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Tese Paula Sperb.pdf: 45490182 bytes, checksum: e858e6ae1921aa8d626fd7c7370b637d (MD5)

This work aims to investigate the reception of the brazilian writer Jorge Amado in the United States, more specifically in the north-american newspaper New York Times. For this objective, one hundred and fifty-one articles published in the newspaper were found, between 1945 and 2001. For a better understanding of the author's reception, we presente the history of political and cultural relations between Brazil and United States during the period before World War II until the end of it. With the so-called "good neighbor policy", both countries have approached. The narrowing of ties is a factor that contributed to Jorge Amado's entry into the north-american literary polysystem in 1945, with the book The violent land. The debut book was published by the prestigious publisher Alfred Knopf. The writer's editorial trajectory, which went through Avon Books and Bantam, is also presented. The communist militancy of Jorge Amado was monitored and registered by the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), fact verified in twenty-two reports produced by the organ during the Cold War. The documents corroborate the hypothesis that the writer's political ties caused him to occupy a peripheral position in the polysystem for seventeen years. Only in 1962, a second book by the author, Gabriela, was published in the United States, resulting in a commercial success and placing the writer in a position of centrality in the polysystem. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Jorge Amado was often associated with the boom of latin american literature. In this last decade, the writer was rediscovered: the book Showdown received the largest amount, until then, by the authors rights for a foreign book. Throughout his reception, Jorge Amado has always been mentioned in the New York Times as a synonym and symbol of Brazil.

Resumo: Nesta tese analisamos nove comédias de Artur Azevedo, escritas entre 1897 e 1908: ACapital Federal, O Badejo, O Retrato a Óleo, A Fonte Castália, O Mambembe, O Dote, O Oráculo, O Cordão e Vida e Morte. Estudamos as peças a partir da análise da recepção de crítica e de público obtida por elas em suas primeiras representações, somada às concepções teóricas do autor, a fim de sublinhar sua relevância para o período em que foram escritas e de iluminar o conhecimento sobre a personalidade intelectual de Artur Azevedo. Em especial, nosso trabalho voltou-se para a relação do comediógrafo com os espectadores para os quais elaborou cada comédia, porque constatamos que a compreensão de sua dramaturgia centra-se nesse relacionamento. Refletimos sobre os elementos literários e teatrais (aspectos formais, construção das personagens, linguagem, enredos), a fim de comprovar o valor estético e a perenidade de alguns textos, assim como os problemas estruturais de outros. Verificamos que os elementos textuais também receberam interferência do gosto do público, o que enfatiza o caráter de Artur Azevedo como homem de teatro, não apenas como dramaturgo
Abstract: In this thesis we study nine of Artur Azevedo¿s comedies, written between 1897 and 1908: A Capital Federal, O Badejo, O Retrato a Óleo, A Fonte Castália, O Mambembe, O Dote, O Oráculo, O Cordão and Vida e Morte. We examined the reception of the plays¿ first presentations and Artur Azevedo¿s ideas to base our research, in order to emphasize it¿s importance in the historical period and to enlighten the knowledge about the author¿s intellectual personality. In especial, our work was directed to the relation between the writer and the spectators towards whom he created each comedie, because we ascertained that the comprehension of his dramaturgy is centered in this relationship. We studied the literary and theatrical elements (composition, language, characters, plot) of the plays with the purpose of assuring the esthetical value of some texts, as well as the structural problems of others. We verified that the text elements received interference from the audience¿s taste, which emphasizes the aspect of Artur Azevedo¿s character as a man of theater, not only a playwright

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation I explain the transition from modernism to postmodernism through the study of the French existentialist novel. I follow theories that demonstrate that the latter owes its success to historiographic metafiction. By setting off the aporias that deeply penetrate modern novels, I demonstrate the obsolescence of the prototype of the realist novel and I explain the impasses towards which the project of a committed literature lead, inscribed in the line of realism and aimed at an almost direct relation with society and history through the mediation of art between 1945 and 1955 in France.On one hand I consider literature as an object which can be described by the methodologies of history. On the other hand I suggest an analysis of the historicity of the text that is constituted by the dynamic system generated by the interaction, the interdependence, and the correlation of the poetic and aesthetic parameters and the factors of the historical context. My aim is to set off the poetic and aesthetic mecanism of stability and of transformation of literary creation according to the dynamic relation between the vector of the project associated to realism and the one of the prototype associated to the novel. I think that late modernism produces paradoxical configurations of the novel because it is the period in which the project of realism becomes lapsed and the prototype of the realist novel becomes dilapidated.
Among the works that are exemplary of the tension between fiction and history and between project and prototype in the framework of the representation of reality and of the inscription of history in novels, I identified Albert Camus' La Peste, Simone de Beauvoir's Les Mandarins and Jean-Paul Sartre's Les Chemins de la liberte . I conclude that the enterprise of committed literature was an aporias because it was generated from the impoverishment of the project of realism and the obsolescence of the prototype of the novel. Later literature was extricated, firstly, by the radically and extremely metafictional writing of the Nouveau Roman and, secondly, it was changed by postmodern historiographic metafiction. The crisis of history and of the writing of history was solved by works in which there is the acknowledgement and the use of sophisticated mediations to evoke and inscribe history in different ways.

Full textAbstract:
Through a detailed analysis of a selection of works produced between 1999 and 2003 by the South African artist Berni Searle, this thesis explores the need to theorise a corporeal viewer in the process of interpreting art works. Such an approach is particularly necessary when dealing with an artist such as Searle because her work, which deals predominantly with the theme of identity, appeals not only to conceptual but also to experiential and corporeal understandings of identity. Searle incorporates the viewer into an experience of her own identity through a physical identification that the viewer feels in relation to her work. For viewers this means that they are made aware of how their own identity in the moment of interpretation is contingent on visual, mental and physical components. In order to develop this argument the work of psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and the phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty is drawn on. These two theorists are very useful for an argument of this nature because both interpret identity as a construction involving an enfolding between the mind and, via the act of vision, the body of the subject. Through an inclusion of the corporeal element in interpretation, this thesis also offers a critique of interpretive theories that would reduce analysis to an interaction between eye and mind by analyzing how the viewer's body participates in the act of looking.

Lancaster, Daniel. "A Futile Quest for a Sustainable Relationship in Welty's Short Fiction." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2007. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc3652/.
Full textAbstract:
Eudora Welty is an author concerned with relationships between human beings. Throughout A Curtain of Green and Other Stories, The Wide Net and Other Stories, and The Golden Apples, Welty's characters search for ways in which to establish and sustain viable bonds. Particularly problematic are the relationships between opposite sexes. I argue that Welty uses communication as a tool for sustaining a relationship in her early work. I further argue that when her stories provide mostly negative outcomes, Welty moves on to a illuminate the possibility and subsequent failure of relationships via innocence in the natural world. Finally, Welty explores, through her characters, the attempt at marginalization and the quest for relationships outside the culture of the South.

Full textAbstract:
Martha Gellhorn and Ernest Hemingway met in Key West in 1937, married in 1941, and divorced in 1945. Gellhorn's work exhibits a strong influence from Hemingway's work, including collaboration on her work during their marriage. I will discuss three of her six novels: WMP (1934), Liana (1944), and Point of No Return (1948). The areas of influence that I will rely on in many ways follow the stages Harold Bloom outlines in Anxiety of Influence. Gellhorn's work exposes a stage of influence that Bloom does not describe-which I term collaborative. By looking at Hemingway's influence in Gellhorn's writing the difference between traditional literary influence and collaborative influence can be compared and analyzed, revealing the footprints left in a work by a collaborating author as opposed to simply an influential one.

"The Theme of Isolation in Selected Short Fiction of Kate Chopin, Katherine Anne Porter, and Eudora Welty" examines certain prototypical natures of isolation as recurrent and underlying themes in selected short fiction of Chopin, Porter, and Welty. Despite the differing backgrounds of the three Southern women writers, and despite the variety of issues they treat, the theme of isolation permeates most of their short fiction. I categorize and analyze their short stories by the nature and the treatment of the varieties of isolation. The analysis and comparison of their short stories from this particular perspective enables readers to link the three writers and to acknowledge their artistic talent and grasp of human psychology and situations.

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa enumera os principais jogos encontrados no romance de Machado de Assis, assim como descreve os modos de representação do lúdico na construção de seu imaginário. Na prosa do autor, a sociabilidade da matéria histórica representada é exposta em situações ficcionais que demandam uma interpretação integrativa, incluindo nesta o ponto de vista do lúdico. O jogo participa da ficção machadiana ora como objeto cenográfico, ora como metáfora das relações sociais. Além disso, o jogo pode dinamizar a interação das diversas instâncias ficcionais de produção e recepção. O vocábulo jogo é entendido aqui antes de tudo como um vetor lúdico, isto é, como componente capaz de relacionar elementos textuais com imagens de jogos, metáforas que presidem os modos de construção ficcional. Assim, o conceito alvitrado nesta pesquisa contempla os diversos planos de ficcionalização do texto. Relações lúdicas definem motivações primárias dos personagens, tais como o jogo de sedução, o jogo de empulha, e o jogo de predição; estabelecem parâmetros para a estilização do texto, por meio de artifícios da escrita, como a paródia, pastiche, citação, charada, autorreferenciação, metáfora, iconização tipográfica e jogo do narrador com o leitor. A leitura destas estruturas lúdicas permite a descoberta de novos percursos interpretativos. Deste modo, o corpus selecionado para este trabalho de pesquisa é definido preferencialmente por situações ficcionais lúdicas nos romances machadianos que suscitam comentários relevantes para os diversos sentidos de cada narrativa. No desdobramento destas questões, podem ser desenhados traços formativos da sociedade e do homem representados, assim como se percebe a ironia orientadora do juízo do autor na interação de autores ficcionais, narradores e leitores.This study reveals the main ludic structures found in the novels of Machado de Assis and describes the imaginative modes of representation of playfulness constructed by the novelist. In the authors prose, the sociability of the depicted historical matters is exposed in fictional situations that require an integrative interpretation one that takes into account his playful point of view. The ludic structure in Machados fiction sometimes involves a scenic object and sometimes functions as a metaphor of social relations. Furthermore, the game can boost interaction among several fictional instances of production and reception. The term game is understood here primarily as a vector of playfulness or, in other words, as a component capable of relating textual elements with game images metaphors which underpin the methods of writing invention. Thus, the proposed objective of this study is to contemplate the various strategies of fictionalization in Machados texts. Playful relations define the primary motivations of the characters, such as the game of seduction, the game of trickery, and the game of prediction. Further, they establish parameters for the text style, through literary devices such as parody, pastiche, quotation, charade, self-referencing, metaphor, typographic iconization, and the game between the narrator and reader. The reading of these play structures allows for the discovery of new interpretive paths. Thus, this study focuses on the playful fictional situations in Machados novels that contribute multiple levels of meaning to each narrative. The unfolding of these issues sheds light on formative traits of human beings and of the represented society, as one begins to appreciate the irony guiding the authors judgment in his rendering of the interaction between fictional writers, readers and storytellers.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho analisa os contos de Sagarana, de João Guimarães Rosa, sob a perspectiva da religiosidade e da regionalidade. Pretende-se demonstrar como a religiosidade contribui para a construção dos personagens, do ambiente, do enredo, revelando traços da regionalidade sertaneja. A cultura do sertão rosiano está de tal forma imbricada nos elementos da cultura religiosa, que a religiosidade sertaneja emerge das mais distintas circunstâncias na obra. Seja por nomes de lugares e pessoas, seja por superstições e rituais, festas populares e abundantes menções a Deus e aos santos, a religiosidade irrompe no imaginário coletivo dos nove contos do primeiro livro de Rosa. Assim, a religiosidade torna-se um dos componentes culturais que mais contribuem para a composição da regionalidade ali representada, pois dialoga diretamente com as crenças e tradições locais, recorrendo aos aspectos emocionais que muitas vezes atuam como força motriz dos personagens e mantêm a dinamicidade dos enredos. No decorrer das análises, as observações deste trabalho fundamentam-se nos estudos de literatura, cultura, regionalidade e religiosidade. Sustenta-se que a religiosidade, como manifestação cultural, favorece a estruturação do ambiente sertanejo na ficção de Guimarães Rosa e que o modo característico de o sertanejo lidar com a religiosidade colabora para fundamentar o espaço cultural representado na obra.Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-09-01T14:17:46Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Jorgemar Teixeira.pdf: 941018 bytes, checksum: 9dab50c5f4b0a802b3b8aa2802978eb7 (MD5)

This master’s thesis analyzes short stories of Sagarana, written by João Guimarães Rosa, from the perspective of religiosity and regionality. It aims to demonstrate how religiosity contributes to the construction of the characters, the ambience and the plot, revealing traces of the regionality of the Brazilian countryside known as “sertão”. The culture of the “sertão” imagined by Guimarães Rosa is connected to the elements of the religious culture, so that the religiosity comes out of the most different circumstances in the work. In the nine short stories of Rosa's first book, the religiosity erupts in the collective imaginary. This can be observed in places and people’s names, superstitions, rituals, popular festivals and mentions of God and saints found in Sagarana. Thus, religiosity becomes one of the cultural components that best contributes to the composition of the regionality represented in the work, because it dialogues directly with the local beliefs and traditions, using the emotional aspects that often act as a force of the characters and maintain the dynamicity of the plots. During the analysis, the observations of this research are based on studies of literature, culture, regionality and religiosity. It is believed that religiosity, as a cultural manifestation, favors the structuring of the ambience of the “sertão” in Guimarães Rosa’s fiction and the way in which the characters deal with religiosity collaborates to substantiate the cultural field represented in the work.

This master's thesis analyzes the presence of the popular song in the prose of Sagarana, first book by João Guimarães Rosa. It tries to understand how the song (sung word), hybrid genre, literary and musical, can infect the pen of the author, the voices of characters and narrators, and lead his prose to present special, singular aesthetic matter. The research starts investigating Rosa's biography and the correspondences between him and his translators, literary critics and friends, searching for quotes and access keys that are essentially poetic and musical - Haroldo de Campos, with his concept of transcreation, the German critic Günter Lorenz and Rosa himself emphasize and define theories that enrich the work. The literary product that springs from the "traveling Rosa", from his knowledge of many foreign languages and from the confluence of the Cordisburgo oral tradition, is observed. Paul Zumthor's work "Performance, réception, lecture", marks and guides our research in his second act, which weaves the rapprochement between the song-form and Sagarana. In the final act, the work seeks the "musical score" underlying the prose of Guimarães Rosa, governing the diction of the characters, the narrator, the reader. This research presents possible scores and melodies for excerpts from Sagarana. From this analysis, which constructs and deconstructs the literary-musical discourse of moments of the book, the work reveals the music that possibly precedes and incorporates all work with aesthetic and poetic quality and brings the creative process of the songwriter closer to that of the writers
Esta dissertação é leitura-escuta que analisa a presença da canção no fazer literário da prosa de Sagarana, livro de estreia de João Guimarães Rosa. Procura entender como a canção (palavra cantada), gênero híbrido, literário e musical pode contagiar a pena do autor, as vozes de personagens e narradores, e conduzir o corpo da prosa a apresentar matéria estética especial, singular. Em primeiro momento, a pesquisa investiga a biografia de Rosa e as correspondências entre este e seus tradutores, críticos literários e amigos, em busca de citações, revelações e chaves de leitura que soem essencialmente poéticas e musicais – Haroldo de Campos, sua ideia de transcriação literária, o crítico alemão Günter Lorenz e o próprio Rosa sublinham e definem propostas teórico-críticas que fudamentam o trabalho. O produto literário que brota de Rosa vaqueiro e viajante, de seu domínio de idiomas estrangeiros, da confluência da cultura oral de Cordisburgo, das cantigas e aboios dos vaqueiros, é observado, e é refrão presente, em cada capítulo. O trabalho de Paul Zumthor sobre leitura, performance e recepção marca e orienta a pesquisa em seu segundo ato, que tece a aproximação entre a forma-canção e Sagarana. Em ato final, a dissertação busca a "partitura musical" subjacente à prosa rosiana, a reger a dicção dos personagens, do narrador, do leitor, e cria possíveis melodias para trechos da prosa de Sagarana. O projeto constrói e desconstrói o discursoliterário- musical de momentos da obra, forja a estrutura musical no corpo do texto e revela a música que possivelmente antecede e incorpora toda escrita com qualidade estética e poética, aproximando o processo criativo do compositor de canção popular ao do escritor de literatura

Entendendo que os aspectos culturais e socioeconômicos são partes integrantes de uma configuração histórica regional, a pesquisa busca discutir a forma com que espaços distintos contribuem para a construção ficcional dos coronéis nas regiões de produção do charque e do cacau. Além disso, o estudo analisa como as atividades charqueadora e cacaueira estão relacionadas com as disputas de poder e como a modernidade, tanto em âmbito econômico quanto cultural, consiste em um fator importante na reorganização dos jogos de forças das oligarquias no cenário político regional e nacional. Dessa forma, visa-se contribuir com os estudos sociorregionais que tratam do coronelismo e de suas relações de poder nas áreas da literatura e da história.Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-11-17T15:53:27Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Fernanda Alliatti Masutti.pdf: 1138045 bytes, checksum: 4dcecfbc0bf20e216b7215965dee1ace (MD5)

This work performs a study of the coronelismo representation on the narratives of the Pedro Wayne’s fiction Xarqueada, published in 1937, and Jorge Amado’s Gabriela, cravo e canela, from 1958, settled, respectively, in the south and northeast regions of Brazil. Understanding that the cultural and socioeconomic aspects are inherit parts of a regional historical configuration, the research aims at discussing the way that distinct areas contribute to the coronels fictional construction in the cocoa and charque (jerked meat) production regions. Furthermore, the study proposes to analyze how charque and cocoa activities are related to power disputes and also how the modernity, in both economical and cultural levels, consists in an important factor in the reorganization of the oligarchies game of power in the regional and national scenario. As a result, the present study intends to contribute with the socioregional studies which deal with the coronelismo and its relations of power under the literature and history scope.

Missa do Galo is a tale by Machado de Assis (1893) that deals with the dialogue between Nogueira, a young pensioner, and Conceição, the hostess, on a Christmas night. The focus of the narrative is not on actions, but on an unusual approach, in which a simple conversation can present a sublime and indirect game, apparently banal, but that intrigues Nogueira. It is assumed that nothing happened between the two, but the genius of Machado de Assis invites us to read the text in its underlings. By the way, the search for an implicit meaning in the text, but perhaps present in the discourse, requires the support of theories that make possible this relation, to reveal a camouflaged intention. In this sense, this study has the support of Systemic-Functional Linguistics (SLF), which offers a specific analytical instrument for the systematic examination of the motivations, purposes, assumptions and interest of the text producers. The objective of this dissertation is the critical analysis of the lexicographic choices made in the Missa do Galo tale in order to unravel what underlies the dialogue between Conceição and Nogueira. Guided by proposals from Critical Linguistics and with the support of the analytical context offered by SLF, the research examines two dimensions of the grammar of prayer: transitivity and Appraisal, associated respectively with the ideational and interpersonal functions of language, complemented by frame and intersubjectivity theories. In order to do so, the research tries to answer the following questions: (a) what can the lexicographic choices made by Machado de Assis in Missa do Galo, in terms of ideational and interpersonal metafunctions, reveal about the dialogue between Conceição and Nogueira? (b) what is the role of relational reading and meta-relations in this process? (c) how important is frame theory to explain the behavior of the protagonists? The analysis reveals a problem for the attribution of positive or negative attitude, since the same situation - say a tremor - is interpreted by Conceição as resulting from the physical contact with the boy, while for him, the tremor would be the result of the cold of the environment. And it is precisely this misunderstanding of interpretations that intrigues and arrests the reader
Missa do Galo é um conto de Machado de Assis (1893) que trata do diálogo entre Nogueira, um jovem pensionista, e Conceição, a hospedeira, em uma noite de Natal. O foco da narrativa não está nas ações, mas numa aproximação inusitada, em que uma simples conversa pode apresentar um jogo sublime e indireto, aparentemente banal, mas que intriga Nogueira. Supõe-se que nada aconteceu entre os dois, mas a genialidade de Machado de Assis convida-nos a ler o texto nas suas subjacências. A propósito, a procura de um sentido implícito no texto, mas talvez presente no discurso, exige o apoio de teorias que possibilitem essa relação, para revelar uma camuflada intenção. Nesse sentido, este estudo tem o apoio da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), que oferece um instrumento analítico específico para o exame sistemático das motivações, propósitos, suposições e interesse dos produtores do texto. O objetivo desta dissertação de mestrado é a análise crítica das escolhas lexicogramaticais feitas no conto Missa do Galo com o fim de desvendar o que subjaz ao diálogo entre Conceição e Nogueira. Guiada por propostas da Linguística Crítica e com o apoio do contexto analítico oferecido pela LSF, a pesquisa examina duas dimensões da gramática da oração: transitividade e avaliatividade, associadas respectivamente com as funções ideacional e interpessoal da linguagem, complementadas pelas teorias de frame e de intersubjetividade. Para tanto, a pesquisa procura responder às seguintes perguntas: (a) o que podem as escolhas lexicogramaticais feitas por Machado de Assis em Missa do Galo, em termos das metafunções ideacional e interpessoal, revelar sobre o diálogo entre Conceição e Nogueira? (b) qual é o papel da leitura relacional e das metarrelações nesse processo? (c) que importância tem a teoria do frame para explicar o comportamento dos protagonistas? A análise revela um problema para a atribuição de atitude positiva ou negativa, já que uma mesma situação – digamos um tremor – é interpretada por Conceição como resultante do contato físico com o rapaz, enquanto para ele, o tremor seria resultado do frio do ambiente. E é justamente esse desencontro de interpretações que intriga e prende o leitor

Resumo: Esta tese de doutorado investiga a vocalidade na obra de Guimarães Rosa. O conceito de vocalidade, definido a partir dos trabalhos de Paul Zumthor, considera a voz não apenas como suporte ou veículo sonoro da palavra, mas também como manifestação de sentido que reverbera aquém e além da palavra. No texto literário de Guimarães Rosa, a dimensão da vocalidade é trabalhada no próprio corpo sensório da palavra poética, que produz feixes de sentido que escapam às determinações da linguagem e, dessa maneira, conseguem aludir ao que seria indizível no sertão rosiano. Além disso, as mais variadas e estranhas vozes escutadas nesse sertão ocupam um lugar central no desenvolvimento de algumas narrativas, como "Meu tio o Iauaretê", "Buriti" e "O recado do morro", que são detidamente analisadas. Em "Meu tio o Iauaretê", a vocalidade alia-se à questão da animalidade no decorrer da metamorfose do narrador em onça, cuja fala é continuamente atravessada por ruídos aquém do humano, quando a linguagem corre o risco de ser devorada pela irrupção de uma voz animal. Em "Buriti", a voragem sonora das noites do sertão é apreendida pela escuta hipersensível da personagem Chefe Zequiel, capaz de alcançar um núcleo insondável da noite, uma "voz de criatura" que mal resvala o sentido, mas que será revertida no erotismo pujante dessa novela. Em "O recado do morro", um recado enviado pelo Morro da Garça vai se formulando de modo fragmentado e confuso, à medida que é passado e alterado por sete mensageiros. Essa transmissão depende do entusiasmo (enthousiasmós, em grego = com um deus dentro de si) que se manifesta na voz das personagens para além das palavras do recado, até ele se organizar e se revelar na forma de um poema cantado. Por fim, essas questões são retomadas e expandidas com o objetivo de mostrar como a vocalidade ganha extensão em outras narrativas de Guimarães Rosa e elabora a seu modo importantes eixos temáticos dessa obra ficcional
Abstract: This doctoral thesis investigates the vocality in the work of Guimarães Rosa. The concept of vocality, defined from the works of Paul Zumthor, considers the voice not just as a support or a sonorous vehicle of the word, but also as a manifestation of meaning that reverberates beneath and beyond the word. In Guimarães Rosa¿s literary text, the dimension of vocality is crafted into the sensory body of the poetic word itself, which produces sheafs of meaning that escape the determinations of language and thus can allude to what would be unspeakable in Rosa¿s backlands. Furthermore, the most varied and strange voices heard in this backlands occupy a central place in the development of some narratives, such as "Meu tio o Iauaretê" ["My uncle the Iauaretê"], "Buriti" and "O recado do morro" ["The message of the hill"], which are analyzed in detail here. In "Meu tio o Iauaretê", the vocality blends with the question of animality throughout the metamorphosis of the narrator in a jaguar, whose speech is continually punctuated by noises short of the humanity, when language is in danger of being devoured by the irruption of an animal voice. In "Buriti", the sonorous maelstrom of the nights in the backlands is grasped by the hypersensitive hearing of the character Chefe Zequiel, able to reach an unfathomable core of the night, a "creature¿s voice" that barely brushes meaning but that will be converted in the vigorous eroticism of this novella. In "O recado do morro", a message sent by the Morro da Garça [Heron Hill] formulates itself in a fragmented and confused fashion along the way as it passes through and is altered by seven messengers. This transmission depends on the enthusiasm (in Greek, enthousiasmós = having a god within you) that manifests itself in the voices of the characters beyond the words of the message, until it is organized and unfolds in the form of a sung poem. Finally, these issues are taken up and expanded with the goal of showing how the vocality gains amplitude in other narratives of Guimarães Rosa and elaborates in its own way important thematic axes of this fictional work

This dissertation investigates the presence of the song of the sirens by Homer in "Meu tio o Iauaretê ", by Guimarães Rosa, using as theoretical reference the studies of Blanchot (2005), Oliveira (2008),), Agamben (2014) and Nogueira (2014), among others. In the wake of the interpretation of Blanchot, which traces an analogy between the song of the sirens and the literature making, every writer repeats the deed of Homeric’s character, since the narrative is an unpredictable and infinite searching movement, which makes present the navigation from the actual song to the imaginary song. We question whether there is a resumption of the song of the sirens in the studied narrative, with the goal of specifying how it happens and what its significance is, assuming that the jaguanhenhém song erupts from the threshold experience of metamorphosis between human and inhuman voice/song; portuguese, tupi and animal noise; articulated and unarticulated language. After analysis, we have come to the conclusion that this narrative stages the act of narrating itself, using a language between human-inhuman, in the process of enchantment, seduction and perdition of the triad author-narrator-reader
Esta dissertação investiga a presença do canto das sereias homéricas em “Meu Tio o Iauaretê”, de Guimarães Rosa, tendo como referencial teórico os estudos de Blanchot (2005), Oliveira (2008),), Agamben (2014) e Nogueira (2014), dentre outros. Na esteira da interpretação blanchotiana, que traça uma analogia entre o canto das sereias e o fazer literário, todo escritor repetiria o feito da personagem homérica, uma vez que a narrativa é um movimento imprevisível e infinito de busca, que presentifica a navegação do canto real ao canto imaginário. Questionamos se há uma retomada do canto das sereias na narrativa estudada, com o objetivo de elencar como isto se dá e qual o seu significado, partindo da hipótese de que o canto jaguanhenhém irrompe da experiência liminar de metamorfose entre voz/canto humano e inumano; português, tupi e ruído animal; língua articulada e não articulada. A conclusão a que chegamos, após a análise, é a de que, nesta narrativa roseana, encena-se o gesto do próprio ato de narrar, em uma linguagem entre humano-inumano, no processo de encantamento, sedução e perdição da tríade autor-narrador-leitor

Resumo: Em nossa dissertação sugerimos uma reinterpretação do romance Helena, de Machado de Assis, a partir da leitura em seu formato original de publicação, o folhetim nas páginas do jornal fluminense O Globo no ano 1876. Dessa forma, buscamos ler o romance em interlocução com seu próprio tempo, a fim de reconhecermos possíveis inspirações, diálogos e debates com o meio que envolveu o escritor e a sua obra. Nesse processo, nos debruçamos sobre um discurso jornalístico pretensamente moderno, que de maneira recorrente, abordava a temática das lutas femininas e feministas no Brasil e no mundo. Assim, tendo-se em vista o recorte de gênero, acreditamos na premissa de que o público-leitor da folha se deparava com percepções que dialogavam com o universo fictício proposto por Machado. E em busca dessas interpenetrações entre imprensa e literatura, conduzimos nossa trajetória de pesquisa
Abstract: In our dissertation we suggest a reinterpretation of the novel Helena, by Machado de Assis, from the readout of its original publication format, the feuilleton in the pages of the O Globo journal in the year of 1876. Thus, we sought to read the novel in interlocution with its own time, in order to identify feasible inspirations, dialogues and debates with the environment that involved the writer and his work. In this process, we concentrated in an allegedly modern journalistic discourse, which in a recurrent manner would approach the theme of the feminine and feminist struggles in Brazil and in the world. Therefore, in view of the gender focus, we believe in the premise that the readership would encounter perceptions that dialogued with the fictitious universe proposed by Machado. And searching for these interpenetrations between the press and literature, we lead our research trajectory

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese é uma Análise Dialógica do Discurso (ADD), de perspectiva bakhtiniana, a cerca dos discursos sobre o trabalho, na obra Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, de Machado de Assis, publicada em 1881. A investigação constitui-se como parte integrante do projeto de pesquisa “A formalização discursiva do universo do trabalho e da tecnologia em textos literários” e das discussões do grupo de pesquisa “Discurso sobre Tecnologia, Trabalho e Identidades Nacionais”, inserido na Linha de pesquisa Tecnologia e Trabalho, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Tecnologia e Sociedade, da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, de viés interdisciplinar. Inicialmente apresentamos alguns discursos sobre o trabalho como atividade assalariada ou não, desde o século XIX: as vozes marxianas, de Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels e Paul Lafargue, seguidos de György Lukács, Herbert Marcuse, André Gorz, Richard Sennett, Christophe Dejours, Zigmund Baumann, Ricardo Antunes e Danièle Linhart, autores contemporâneos. A análise dialógica seguiu a linha teórica de Bakhtin e o Círculo: dialogicidade, alteridade, o signo ideológico, a intersubjetividade, o plurilinguismo, o gênero romanesco e a enunciação. Traçamos um perfil das relações de trabalho no Brasil oitocentista, dialogando sobre a História com autores como Boris Fausto, Sidney Chalhoub, Maria Sylvia C. França, Gilberto Freyre, Sergio B. de Holanda entre outros. Quanto ao horizonte social e cultural do autor fluminense, sua biografia e sua fortuna crítica, dialogaram críticos como Antonio Candido, Roberto Schwarz, entre outros. Objetivou-se trazer para análise, a partir da ideologia do cotidiano formalizada no romance, os diálogos, as contradições e os embates que ocorrem entre os discursos, como também perceber a positividade, a danação ou a negação do trabalho a partir da linguagem, na forma arquitetônica irônica do autor e nos elementos composicionais pertinentes ao romance, como as construções híbridas, a alternância de estilos e tons, a resposta antecipada, o riso reduzido e a sátira menipeia. A perspectiva metodológica da ADD conduziu a um corpus composto por três dimensões discursivas, que compõem a enunciação machadiana sobre o trabalho: o discurso do favor representado pela personagem Dona Plácida; o discurso da escravidão representado pela personagem Prudêncio e o discurso do trabalho imaterial ou do não-trabalho, representado pelas personagens Brás Cubas e Quincas Borba. Chegou-se às seguintes conclusões: a linguagem machadiana discursa veementemente sobre o trabalho no século XIX. Sua enunciação transita entre positivá-lo ou negativá-lo, reforçando a distinção entre trabalho material e trabalho imaterial. As atividades imateriais são vistas como positivas pela elite, porque, além de redundarem em não-trabalho, representam prestígio e ascensão. O escravo exercia a maior parte do trabalho e o agregado cumpria um papel de mediador, já que não pertencia a ninguém, mas precisava encontrar formas de sustentar-se. No discurso machadiano, o trabalho não é ontológico; ele é forma de sobrevivência, inclusive de um discurso, que mantém uma ordem social.This thesis is a Dialogical Discourse Analysis (DDA), from Bakhtin’s perspective, about the discourses on work, in Machado de Assis’ work Posthumous Memories of Brás Cubas, published in 1881. The investigation was an integral part of the research project “The discursive formalization of the universe of work and technology in literary texts” and the discussions of the research group “Discourse on Technology, Work and National Identities”, inserted in the research line Technology and Work, of the Post-Graduate Program in Technology and Society, at the Federal University of Technology - Paraná, of an interdisciplinary bias. Initially we presented some discourses about work as an employed activity or not, since the nineteenth century: Marx’s voices, by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Paul Lafargue, followed by György Lukács, Herbert Marcuse, André Gorz, Richard Sennett, Christophe Dejours, Zigmund Baumann, Ricardo Antunes and Danièle Linhart, contemporary authors. The dialogical analysis followed the theoretical line of Bakhtin and the Circle: dialogicity, alterity, ideological sign, intersubjetivity, plurilingualism, romanesque genre and enunciation. We drew a profile of labor relationships in nineteenth-century Brazil, discussing history with authors such as Boris Fausto, Sidney Chalhoub, Maria Sylvia C. França, Gilberto Freyre, Sergio B. de Holanda, among others. As for the social and cultural horizon of the author from Rio de Janeiro, his biography and his critical fortune, there were dialogues among critics such as Antonio Candido, Roberto Schwarz, among others. The objective was to bring for analysis, from the ideology of everyday life formalized in the novel, the dialogues, the contradictions and the clashes that occur among the discourses, as well as to perceive the positivity, the damnation or the denial of the work from the language, in the author’s ironic architectural form and in the compositional elements pertinent to the novel, such as hybrid constructions, alternating styles and tones, the early response, reduced laughter and the menipeaen satire. The methodological perspective of DDA led to a corpus composed by three discursive dimensions, is composed of Machado de Assis´s enunciation on work: the discourse of ‘favor’ represented by the character Dona Plácida; the discourse of ‘slavery’ represented by the character Prudêncio and the discourse of ‘immaterial work’ or ‘non-work’, represented by the characters Brás Cubas and Quincas Borba. The following conclusions were reached: Machado’s language vehemently discourses on work in the nineteenth century. Its enunciation transits between positivizing it or denying it, reinforcing the distinction between material work and immaterial work. The immaterial activities are seen as positive by the elite, because, besides being redundant in non-work, they represent prestige and ascension. The slave practiced most of the work and the aggregate played the role of mediator, since it belonged to no one, but he needed to find ways to support himself. In Machado’s discourse, work is not ontological; it is a form of survival, including a discourse, which maintains a social order.

Resumo: Este texto busca estudar os aspectos políticos, históricos e sociais trabalhados por João Guimarães Rosa em "A estória de Lélio e Lina", texto presente em Corpo de Baile. Para isso, se analisará como as palavras e ações de Lina servem para resgatar a ordem de um mundo em transformação. Ao se perceber em pleno encontro do moderno com o tradicional na zona rural de Minas Gerais no final do século XIX e início do XX, Lélio sente-se perdido. Ele precisa de Lina para se situar em meio ao dinamismo da História e poder formular/reformular seu papel enquanto agente e sujeito de sua vida. As referências que o texto faz aos processos de transformação histórica são o objeto da pesquisa. O que insere este trabalho na linha de análise dos componentes históricos e sociais presentes na obra de Rosa e, sem desprezar os outros enfoques analíticos, busca analisar tal obra em meio à cultura e à época em que ela se desenvolveu e ver o que ela tem a dizer a respeito de seu mundo
Abstract: This text aims to study the political, historical and social aspects worked by João Guimarães Rosa in his novel "A estória de Lélio e Lina", present in the book Corpo de Baile. To achieve this, it going to analyze how the words and actions of Lina serve to rescue the order of a changing world. Finding himself in full meeting of modern and traditional in rural Minas Gerais in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Lelio feels disoriented. He needs Lina to keep strong himself amid the dynamism of the History and can to formulate / reformulate its role as agent and leader of his life. The references that this text makes to the processes of historical transformation are the object of the research. So, this study falls in line with the analysis of social and historical components present in the books of Rosa and, without neglecting the other analytical approaches, this article seeks to analyze these works in the contexts of the Culture and the History in which his Literature developed itself and see what she has to say about their world

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the depictions of technology and scientists in the literature of five writers during the 1960s. Scientists and technology associated with nuclear, computer, and space science are examined, focusing on their respective treatments by the following writers: John Barth, Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke. Despite the close connections between the abovementioned sciences, space science is largely spared from negative critiques during the sixties. Through an analysis of Barth's Giles Goat-boy, Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, Asimov's short stories "Key Item," "The Last Question," "The Machine That Won the War," "My Son, the Physicist," and Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, it is argued that altruistic goals of space science during the 1960s protect it from the satirical treatments that surround the other sciences.

Full textAbstract:
La philosophe feministe Simone de Beauvoir eut une passion et une fascination pour les voyages depuis sa plus tendre enfance. Des son emancipation en 1929, dIe allait se lancer sur les routes de France, d'Europe puis du monde. Si cet aspect primordial de son existence est souvent mentionne, il n'est que rarement analyse et peu de chercheurs ont tente de l'integrer dans le schema plus large de la philosophie existentielle chere al'ecrivaine. Cette etude va s'interesser aux voyages en tant que pierres de fondation de l'existence de Sirnone de Beauvoir, au meme titre que ses ecrits et son engagement politique et feministe. En nous aidant de ses reuvres biographiques, de ses recits de voyages et de ses romans, mais aussi d'etudes reconnues, nous allons essayer de comprendre la problematique du voyage mais surtout de comprendre pourquoi celui-ci fut si important dans la construction de son ersonnage et dans l'edification singuliere et exemplaire de son existence. ien loin du canon feministe qui masque souvent d'autres aspects du parcours extraordinaire e Simone de Beauvoir, notre etude, qui se veut biographique et litteraire et, nous l'esperons, riginale non pas tant dans son approche structurelle, mais dans son analyse critique et dans es theories que nous avons voulu formulees. Il nous a semble necessaire de revoir et de reviser certains points biographiques et de les faire pivoter autour de la notion de voyage et de ecouverte de l' Ailleurs en tant que donnee de transcendance. Le voyage fut bien plus qu'un ivertissement mondain pour Simone de Beauvoir, il fut avant tout une maniere d'acquerir la iberte et de bien souvent la sauvegarder. 11 fut aussi un outil indispensable pour repousser 'eventualite supreme et redoutee : la mort, c'est a dire le neant selon la dialectique xistentialiste. Selon les informations en notre possession, il n' existe pas de theses octorales s'interessant irectement a ce sujet majeur (la plupart des theses beauvoiriennes ont ete soutenues en merique du Nord ou la philosophe est fort etudiee, la France la boude encore comme le emarque justement Toril Moi dans son ouvrage de reference cite dans notre bibliographie : Simone de Beauvoir : The Making of an Intellectual Woman). Nos recherches et nos erifications aupres de plusieurs specialistes et de nombreuses institutions superieures bibliotheques universitaires, nationales, centres de recherches ... ), nous ont convaincus que ce travail etait original dans son essence, bien qu'il suive une approche traditionnelle et ineraire de par son caractere biographique. Comme notre introduction l'indique clairement, notre recherche tente de depasser l'optique lassique d'etude de l'reuvre de Simone de Beauvoir qui est dominee par un ouvrage : Le euxieme sexe et par consequent peut etre consideree comme un travail purement original et otalement personnel malgre l'inclusion de nombreuses citations venant etayer notre propos.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2003.

Full textAbstract:
Guy Butler (1918-2001) was one of South Africa's most prolific English writers. His work extended across several genres. He has hitherto been seen by his critics in terms of neat binaries: Marxists versus liberals, Negritudinists versus 'colonials'. In this study it is argued that a modification of these polarised positions is necessary. Butler's own position is simultaneously one of Oxford scholar and Karoo son, engaged with both the challenges and difficulties of 'local habitation'. By testing these oppositions against the concepts of 'past significance' and 'present praxis' I suggest that Butler is neither simply transcendental nor socially committed, neither simply international nor local. In taking advantage of a 'freer' perspective succeeding the 'struggle' decades in South Africa, I suggest a more inclusive reevaluation of Butler as both artist and public figure serving an inclusive 'imagined community'. Chapter One focuses on Butler's plays, both those published and - for the first time - those unpublished, and examines the texts in the context, locally, of a repressive apartheid regime and, internationally, against the background of the Cold War. What emerges is a writer whose views were neither exclusive nor sectarian, and who was an outspoken critic of injustice, wherever this occurred. Butler's hitherto undervalued contribution to the development of serious drama as an art form in South Africa is given prominence. Chapter Two deals with Butler's poetry. For all his intervention in public debate, it is his poetic expression that reveals his most profound insights. His attempts to "take root" in a local habitation are scrutinised, and it is argued that the poetry has been misunderstood by many of his critics, especially those on the Left. Besides his "compulsion to belong", the study explores the twin search of Butler for an African synthesis through his utilisation of the Apollo-Dionysus paradigm, and his 'eschatological imperative'. While attempting to adapt European forms and sensibilities to African experience his poetry - it is argued - also seeks to heal the divisions of a fragmented South African society. In Chapter Three Butler's cultural projects are examined. It is argued that his cultural narrative is not one of separation but of integration premised (in his own words) on a "common humanity". Several projects are scrutinised in the context of post-1960 Republican South Africa, where National Party policies attempted to impose crushing political and social hegemonies on the English community as well as on all communities of colour. While Butler's immediate aims were to ensure the survival of the English language and English cultural identity, the scope of his cultural projects reveals that his 'imagined community' extended to all South Africans: his vision was not one of elite cultural separation, but of egalitarian integration. Butler's achievements in his many and varied forms of service are considered as having contributed to the formation of a new, democratic society in South Africa.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2003.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses critically theme and character in the fourteen novels of R.K. Narayan, written between 1935 and 1990, and it assesses their importance in Narayan's Indian world view. It evaluates Narayan's depiction of Indian middle class society in the comic-ironic mode. His skills as a narrator who experiments with various narrative techniques are examined. The thesis traces the development of Narayan's fictional town, Malgudi, and illustrates how it reflects changes on the Indian sub-continent and how they impact on the Malgudi character. The themes of parental love, the conflict between orthodoxy and modernity, academic disillusionment, harmony in family relationships and Hindu astrology are examined in Swami and Friends (1935) and The Bachelor of Arts (1946). Narayan's portrayal of orthodox and modern concepts of marriage is appraised in The Dark Room (1938), The English Teacher (1946) and The Painter of Signs (1976). This thesis examines the deterioration of marital harmony and Savitri' s portrayal as the typical Hindu housewife cast in the Pativrata tradition in The Dark Room. In The English Teacher this thesis evaluates Krishnan and Susila's idyllic marriage and the couple's psychic communication when Susila dies. Raman
and Daisy's proposed Gandharva marriaqe is reviewed in The Painter of Signs. This study assesses Narayan's treatment of the themes of religious faith, Hinduism and Gandhian ideology in Waiting for the Mahatma (1955), The Guide (1958) and The Vendor of Sweets (1967). Raju' s transformation from a jailbird to a swami is evaluated in The Guide. The dedication of Gandhists such as Bharati and Sriram in Waiting for the Mahatma, is reviewed. In A Tiger for Malgudi, Narayan's innovative talking tiger, Raja, is examined as well as his treatment of the concepts of reincarnation and the transmigration of souls. The deleterious effects of materialism are highlighted in The Financial Expert in which Margayya is obsessed with accruing large sums of money. Srini vas and Sampath' s desire to achieve fame and fortune is explored in the filming of the Burning of Kama in Mr Sampath. This thesis ends with an exploration of the conflict between orthodoxy and modern lifestyles, and the cyclical nature of life in The World of Nagaraj (1990).Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Durban-Westville, 1995.

Full textAbstract:
This project asserts that male Naturalist authors were not “hypermasculine” acolytes of
strident manhood, but instead offer alternative constructions which they portray as less traumatic
and more cohesive than prevailing social notions of normative male behavior. I maintain that the
rise of the concept of manhood advocated by Theodore Roosevelt in the early decades of the
twentieth century contributed to this misconception, for it generated a discourse of “manly”
individualism which became equated with socially acceptable performances of masculinity for
many Americans. My first chapter illustrates the gradual evolution of an individualistic, violent,
and strident concept of manhood, which I label “strenuous masculinity,” through the rhetoric of
Theodore Roosevelt. The second chapter explores the ways in which Stephen Crane’s fiction
illuminates the trauma and confusion inherent in strenuous concepts of manhood. Many of
Crane’s stories, like “Five White Mice,” demonstrate the failure of individualism, while others,
like “The Open Boat,” document a more positive construction of what I call “homosocial
manhood.” In my third and final chapter, I attempt to prove that Richard Wright’s early texts
showcase a range of possible outcomes of black male attempts to stand up to racial oppression.
I document that Uncle Tom’s Children and Native Son both depict a continuum of confrontation,
with individual violence on one end of the spectrum and non-violent group protest on the other.
Furthermore, because individual resistance is consistently equated with the suffering and death
of the protagonists, my project implies that strenuous manhood also fails to provide a site for
effectual and sustainable opposition to the negating forces of racial oppression.Theodore Roosevelt and the transformation of American masculinity -- "The youth leaned heavily on his friend" : alternative constructions of masculinity in Stephen Crane's fiction -- Richard Wright's early fiction as a rejection of the racial oppression of strenuous manhood.

Full textAbstract:
Whether considering Wilhelm Busch's famous picture-stories of poetic realism, or his prose works with their satiric grotesque and surrealistic elements, Busch's aesthetic views and practices straddle the divide between earlier and contemporaneous forms of art (folk tales, Classicism, Romanticism, Realism) and those akin to late nineteenth and early twentieth century German Moderne. In this thesis, Busch's aesthetic views on art and literature are gleaned from a variety of his writings including his mature prose piece Eduards Traum (1891). This study argues that Busch's aesthetics in this piece anticipated a number of developments associated with the German Moderne, such as complex narrative techniques, distorted states of time and space, ambiguity, fragmentation, and surrealistic modes of expression.

Full textAbstract:
The present research has been aimed at investigating how imperialism and colonialism are located both in the biblical text (cf. Joshua 1-12) and in present day interpretive postcolonial contexts such as that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
An investigation was made of the unequal power dynamics at play between the Israelites who are depicted as mercilessly conquering the indigenous peoples of Canaan in the name of the deity, and the Canaanites. How were/ are such power dynamics played out in the Katangese, Democratic Republic of the Congo’s context in the relations between the then colonizers, that is, the Belgians as well as the neo-colonial African rulers and the Congolese peoples? It is argued that the Belgians assumed the role akin to that of the Israelite invaders as they mercilessly invaded the “promised land”, that is, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, ending with the brutal extermination of African peoples justified on biblical precedents.
A conclusion is made that within the context of postcolonial biblical interpretation, the conquest narrative of Joshua 1-12 is one of the most traumatic stories in which violence is committed by one nation on another in the name of the deity. Postcolonial biblical criticism was found to be an appropriate approach in assisting the researcher to navigate through violent biblical texts with a view to coming up with a transformative reading of the texts in the (Katangese) context of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies
