Full textThis thesis represents an analysis of five plays written by Marcel Dube giving clear indication of the universality of his works, particularly based on unpublished documents. These plays were written almost thirty years ago; nevertheless, they are still alive and applauded nowadays, which corroborates their universality. Also, on the unpublished recording tapes, actress Monique Miller, actor Jean Duceppe and author and critic Jean Ethier-Blais dwell precisely on the universality of Dube's works. Therefore I thought advisable to study this particular topic in the following plays: Zone, Florence, le temps des lilas, Bilan and Au retour des oies blanches.
On these unpublished recording tapes, Marcel Dube talks about himself and his life as a writer. We learn about his childhood, the beginning of his career, the people who surrounded and encouraged him, the social, cultural, and political environment that prevailed at the time he wrote his most famous plays. He also acknowledges his mistakes, his weaknesses, his ambitions and talks about the motives that prompted him to become a writer.
Furthermore, well known author and critic Jean Ethier-Blais expresses his ideas and feelings regarding the author and his works. Actors and personal friends Monique Miller and Jean Duceppe recollect the circumstances and the effect the dramatic art of Marcel Dube has had on French Canadian culture.

Full textThe bookmarket changed rapidly in the years following the war. Its reorganization along industrial lines lead to recurrent periods of crisis. That part of the market consisting of mass produced books came under the influence of American popular fiction. This situation had repurcussions on the literary field. People no longer saw books and authors as special, and the readership of serious literature decreased markedly. The avant garde itself seemed exhausted. Works of paralitterature, on the other hand, entered in a process of legitimation.
The New Novelists, and especially Robbe-Grillet, find in paralitterature expressions of the social discourse more powerful than those available in canonical literature. Popular fictions, rife with violence and agression, capture the worries and pessimism about society and the alienation of the individual. In Robbe-Grillet's work, the world is conceived as containing a cancer, one that threatens the social order. Reality is distorted in his fiction, and the characters are fragmented and lost in their imaginary world. The image of a cancerous society is crystallized in the motif of the ritual sacrifice of a woman. For Robbe-Grillet, though, this motif also suggests the origin of fantasy, and in doing so might rejuvenate the creative impulse. Behind the violence and eroticism of his fiction, then, and behind the anomia contaminating literature, is the desire to retrace the lightening of fantasy in the hope of dealing with both the modern world and the predicament of the novel, and possibly find a catharsis through it.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation examines the idea of apocalypse through the lens of science fiction (sf) written during the current fin de siècle period. I have dated this epoch, known as the information era, as starting in 1980 with the advent of personal computing and ending in approximately 2020 when the functional limits of silicon-based digital manufacturing and production are expected to be reached. By surveying the field of contemporary sf, I identify certain trends and subgenres that relate to particular aspects of apocalyptic thought, namely, conceptions of the ‘terror of history,’ the sublimity of accelerated techno-scientific advance, the ‘affective turn’ in media-culture and posthuman philosophy. My principal method of inquiry into how the apocalypse is imagined or ‘figured’ in sf is the concept of hyperstition – a neologism (combining the words ‘hyper’ and ‘superstition’) coined by the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU). Hyperstition describes an aesthetic response whereby cultural fictions – principally, ideas relating to apocalypse – are imagined as transmuting into material realities. I begin by scrutinizing two posthumanist works of theory-fiction (theory written in the mode of sf) by the CCRU and 0rphan Drift which anticipate immanent human extinction and imagine the inception of a new evolutionary cycle of machine-augmented evolution This sensibility is premised on the sociallydestabilising cycles of exponential growth that characterise information-era technological developments, particularly in the digital industries, as well as the accelerated human impact on the natural environment. Central to my argument is the romantic materialist philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari and their concepts of accelerationism, schizoanalysis and Bodies without Organs (BwO’s). Their ontology is constructed around the idea that exponential rates of development necessitate a new aesthetic paradigm that ventures beyond philosophies of human access. The narrative of apocalypse, approached from this perspective, can be interpreted in catastrophic or anastrophic terms; either as a permanent ending or as the beginning of something radically new. Using hyperstition, I also investigate the sf of Russell Hoban, Michael Swanwick, Brian Stableford, Charles Stross, Dan Simmons, M. John Harrison and Paul McAuley to see not only how these authors interpret the concept of cultural acceleration, but also to identify common threads. Countering the catastrophic ‘death of affect’ postulated by theorists such as Jean Baudrillard and Paul Virilio with the anastrophic rejoinder of cyberdelic information-era countercultures, I conclude by investigating the new ‘affective turn’ in contemporary media theory. The works of theoretical fiction and sf that I investigate are informed, as I demonstrate, by the Situationist techniques of psychogeography, dérive and detournement, as well as by the literary tropes of 18th and 19th century fin de siècle Gothic and dark Romantic fiction.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie proefskrif ondersoek die idee van apokalips deur die oogpunt van wetenskap fiksie (wf) soos geskryf gedurende die huidige ‘fin de siècle’ tydperk. Ek dateer hierdie epog, bekend as die inligtings-era, as die tydperk wat in 1980 begin met die koms van persoonlike rekenaars en nagenoeg eindig in 2020, wanneer die funksionele limiete van silikon gebaseerde digitale vervaardiging en produksie na verwagting bereik sal word. Deur die veld van kontemporêre wf in oënskou te neem, identifiseer ek sekere neigings en sub-genres wat vergelyk met sekere kenmerke van apokaliptiese denke, naamlik: begrippe soos die ‘verskrikking van geskiedenis’, die verhewendheid van versnelde tegno-wetenskaplike vooruitgang, die ‘emosionele omkeer’ in media-kultuur en post-humanistiese filosofie. My primêre metode van ondersoek van hoe die apokalips voorgestel of ‘beskryf’ kan word in wf, is die begrip van hiper-bygelowigheid - ‘n neologisme (samevoeging van die woorde ‘hiper’ en ‘bygeloof’) soos geskep deur die Kubernetiese Kultuur Navorsings-Eenheid (KKNE) en Nick Land, medestigter van die KKNE. Hiper-bygelowigheid beskryf die proses waarvolgens kulturele versinsels - hoofsaaklik opvattings met betrekking tot apokalips – in materiële realiteite omgeskakel kan word. Ek ondersoek ek twee post-humanistiese werke van teorie-fiksie (teorie geskryf volgens die wf metode) deur KKNE en 0rphan Drift, wat inherente menslike uitwissing verwag en die ontstaan van ‘n nuwe evolusionêre siklus van masjien-toename voorstel. Hierdie proses is gebaseer op die sosiaal-destabiliserende siklus van eksponensiële groei wat kenmerkend is van die inligtings-era se tegnologiese ontwikkelinge, veral in die digitale industrie, sowel as versnelde menslike impak op die natuurlike omgewing. Die kern van my beredenering is die goties-materialisties-teoriese standpunt soos deur Land ingeneem, sowel as die romanties-materialistiese filosofie van Deleuze en Guattari. Hierdie gevalle van neo-materialistiese (of objek-georiënteerde) filosofië word toegelig deur ‘n apokalipties-teoretiese basis bekend as akseleerasionisme. Hierdie uitgangspunt is ontwikkel rondom die idee dat die eksponensiële tempo van ontwikkeling ‘n klimaks sal bereik in ‘n evolusionêre ‘wipplank punt’ en dat ‘n nuwe estetiese paradigma nodig is wat dit bokant die filosofie van menslike vermoë kan waag sodat daar oor hierdie waarskynlikheid geteoretiseer kan word. Die beskrywing van apokalips, soos vanuit hierdie oogpunt beskou, kan vertolk word in beide katastrofiese of anastrofiese terme of as ‘n permanente einde of as die begin van iets wat radikaal nuut sal wees. Deur gebruik te maak van die hiperbygelowigheidsteorie, wat ‘n onderafdeling is van akseleerasionisme, ondersoek ek WF van Russell Hoban, Michael Swanwick, Brian Stableford, Charles Stross, Dan Simmons, M. John Harrison and Paul McAuley ten einde vas te stel hoe hierdie skrywers die konsep van kulturele akseleerasie interpreteer, maar ook om gemeenskaplike leidrade te identifiseer. Met teenargumentering ten opsigte van die katastrofiese ‘dood van affek’ gepostuleer deur teoretici soos Jean Baudrillard en Paul Virillio met die anastrofiese samevoeging van kuberdeliese inligtings-era-kontra-kulture, ondersoek ek die nuwe ‘gemoedsomkeer’ in kontemporêre mediateorie. Die werke van teoretiese fiksie, sowel as baie van die ander gevalle van wf wat ek ondersoek en soos deur my gedemonstreer, word toegelig deur Situasienistiese tegnieke van psigo-geografie, dérive en detournement, sowel as deur die literêre menigtes van die 19de eeu ‘fin de siècle’ donker Romantiese en Gotiese fiksie.

Full textThis study tests whether dialogism illuminates the shape of openness in Lawrence. As philosophers of potentiality, both Bakhtin and Lawrence explore the dialogic "between" as a state of being and a condition of meaningful fiction. Dialogism informs Women in Love. It achieves a polyphonic openness which Lawrence in his later fictions cannot sustain. Subsequently, univocal, simplifying organizations supervene. Dialogic process collapses into a stenographic report upon a completed dialogue, over which the travel writer, the poet or the messianic martyr preside.
Nevertheless, the old openness can be discerned in the ambivalent laughter of The Captain's Doll, St. Mawr or "The Man Who Loved Islands." In these retrospective variations on earlier themes, laughing openness of vision takes new, "unfinalizable" shapes.

Resumo: Hilda Hilst (1930-2004) publicou diversos livros de poesia nos anos de 1950 e 1960 e ainda escreveu algumas obras teatrais entre 1967 e 1970. O surgimento em 1970 da sua primeira obra em prosa é um momento importante de construção do seu projeto literário onde os limites entre vida e obra começam a ser cada vez mais estreitados. A pesquisa desta dissertação quer contribuir para a compreensão deste contexto a partir de uma leitura do conto Kadosh, publicado no ano de 1973, na obra de mesmo nome, tendo como foco a questão do sagrado. A metodologia utilizada partiu da leitura desta obra e do conjunto da produção de Hilda Hilst, para em seguida investigar no arquivo, em fotos, cartas, anotações e originais, os rastros da emergência desta problemática na obra da autora. O destaque particular foi dado para o período entre o final dos anos de 1960 e começo dos anos de 1970, relacionados ao contexto específico de produção de Kadosh. O resultado da pesquisa são os quatro ensaios, independentes, mas interconectados que se apresenta neste trabalho: o primeiro abordando como a questão do sagrado emerge enquanto um problema literário para Hilda Hilst, através da análise de algumas correspondências que tratam do ofício da literatura, apontando indiretamente como se configura para a autora uma imagem privada de si, nos anos de 1950 e 1960; o segundo enasio parte de excertos de textos e de originais para mostrar como se configura a problemática do sagrado na sua obra literária até a publicação da coletânea de Kadosh, apontando ao final, através da análise de alguns excertos críticos, como se forma uma imagem pública da autora, à época da publicação do conto, nos anos de 1973-74; o terceiro parte do campo de significações relacionados à religiosidade que estão presentes nos rastros do arquivo, para produzir uma interpretação de Kadosh, do ponto de vista do seu universo referencial e o último ensaio tece considerações sobre a forma como se caracteriza a escritura da autora no texto e que gera contradições com relação ao conjunto de representações religiosas do conto, constituindo-se deste modo a sua aproximação particular ao sagrado. Como subproduto da pesquisa produziu-se ao final uma edição comentada de Kadosh que aponta parte das referências feitas na obra. A conclusão desta pesquisa indica como, no trabalho com o arquivo, a relação vida e obra se constitui como um amálgama indissociável que determina o percurso da interpretação, sendo um lugar de contradição e um desafio para a crítica.
Abstract: Hilda Hilst (1930-2004) published some books of poetry in the 1950's and 1960's and wrote some drama from 1967 to 1970. The appearance of her first book in prose, in 1970, is an important moment in the building of her literary project, when the limits between her personal life and her literary work get closer. The research os this dissertation intends to contribute to the understanding of this context, with an interpretation of the short story Kadosh, published in 1973, in the book with the same name, with a focus in the question of sacrality. The methodology began with the reading of this story and all the published books of Hilda Hilst, after this it was done a research in the archives, working with photos, letters, booknotes and the originals, looking for the signs of the appearance of this question in the work of the writer. The main attention was directed to the period between the end of the 1960's and the begining of the 1970's, more related to the context of Kadosh. The results of all this research are the four related essays, which are presented here: the first one analyses the appearance of the sacrality as a literary question for Hilda Hilst, working with some letters, which have as theme the problem of the writer's work, showing up Hilst's image of her own, in the 1950's and 1960's; the second essay choose some excerpts of Hilst's published books, of her originals and of some articles published in the print about Kadosh, showing up Hilst's public image, in 1973-74; the third one began with an analysis of the religious references, which can be seen in the signs of the archive to produce an interpretation of Kadosh; by the end, the last one is an analisys of the writing of the author in the short story, which produces a contradiction with the religious representations of Kadosh and constitutes the special approach of Hilst to sacrality. As another result of this research, it was organized a commented edition of the short story Kadosh, which indicates part of the references alluded by the text. The conclusion of this work show up how in the work with the archives, the relation between life and literary work as one whole directs the way of interpretation and build a place of contradictions, which plays a role in making the criticism a challenge.

Full textThis thesis offers collocational readings of traditional and postcolonial epics in transcultural frameworks. It investigates the specificities of modern postcolonial epic through a comparative analysis of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, Derek Walcott’s Omeros, and Amitav Ghosh’s Ibis trilogy. It explores how these works emulate, but also rival, the traditional epics of Homer, Virgil, Ariosto, Camões, and Milton. Both traditional and postcolonial epic rely on generic conventions in order to aestheticize collective experience, setting it against the natural world (via epic similes), against history and imperial destiny (via genealogy and prophecy), and against the epic work itself (via ekphrasis). However, traditional epic emphasizes a unified worldview, characterized by harmonious conjunctions between trope and diegesis, genealogical continuities between ancestor and descendant, and self-reflexive ekphrastic associations between imperial history and the epic text commissioned to glorify it. From this perspective, the specificity of postcolonial epic can be formulated in terms of its ambivalent articulation of the postcolonial condition. In the works of Melville, Walcott, and Ghosh, tropes of heroic transfiguration are held in check by the mock-heroic, while empowering self-adopted hybrid affiliations co-exist, but cannot entirely compensate for, discontinuous genealogies marked by displacement, deracination, and colonial violence. This ambivalence finds its most powerful expression in the ekphrastic sequences where the postcolonial texts are most directly confronted with the impossible choice between commemorating experience and being critical of such commemoration

Full textThis thesis consists of a dialogical analysis of the discursive constructions regarding the labor and technology universe in the novel "Sugar Mill" by José Lins do Rego, published in 1936. To conduct the proposed analysis, this research is based on the theoretical assumptions of Mikhail Bakhtin and the circle, language scholars, for whom the novel is a great statement which is born from a social-interactive space. On this same dialogical perspective, in relation to the labor and technology universe, this study seeks reflections of important thinkers, such as: Marx, Engels, Lafargue, Lukács, Sennett and Heidegger. The composition of the discourse presented in this study is structured from the selection of these authors and others, present, mostly in the syllabus of the disciplines of the Postgraduate in Technology Program (PPGTE), more specifically, in the Research Project "The discursive formalization of work and technology universe in Brazilian literary texts" that binds this thesis. The discursive constructions about work and technology are investigated from a circuit of voices present in the novel. This circuit of voices strengthens the key idea, critical synthesis of the author, his reflection on the working life on the plantations and the sugar mills, which in the ingenuity years there were more humane relations between people and between them and nature, pointing to a work as greater socialization factor, thus. The architectural of the novel is constituted by a statement which is established by the repetition of this thesis, guaranteed by the circuit of voices. This multiplicity of voices, represented by the characters and the narrator, is organized by the author so that the tone of the narrative evidences the anthropomorphization of the sugar mill. In resistance to this discourse of technological determinism, in the symbolic field, the author makes use of other discourses, such as the Christian tradition, the voice of the characters, D. Dondon, the sugar mill owner's wife, aggregates and workers from the ingenuity years, to make his thesis prevail. For this reason, the author organizes the narrative events so that the enunciation plan is evident to the reader in two moments: the rise and the decline of modern machinery at the Bom Jesus mill. In the first moment, with the modernization of the machinery of the mill which symbolizes the rise of this system, that is, working under the precepts of capitalism, the nature starts to crumble and human relations and of man with nature become less humanized in a sense of estranged labor. In the second, with business failure at the Bom Jesus sugar mill, the author signals for a humanization process in which, above all, the nature presents in a personified way, as a punitive response to human ambition.

The current research intends to investigate Vince Gilligan’s creation paths during the development of the character Walter White in the series Breaking Bad. A serial work created for the television is an open work, in constant evolution and development and subject to drastic interventions in its narrative path. The author who draws upon an initial proposition to develop such path must consider possible incoherences throughout the story, which could occur due to external interferences and characteristics of the market. Such aspect is not found in the story and this fact instigates is to investigate the paths which were created by the author in order to establish a natural progression for the character, without losing, however, the identity and the coherence of the narrative. Our focus is on the analysis of episodes of the series, as well as interviews given by the author and specific publications on the backstage of the creation processes, aiming to understand the interactions between script creation procedures and choices regarding the audiovisual resources adopted by the author throughout the seasons. We also discuss the series as a genre in the audiovisual context under the perspective of coherence development throughout time. Our theoretical approach is based on the concepts of author from Machado (2011) and Bakhtin (2010) in relation to criticism of creation process and networks of creation (Salles, 2000; 2006; 2008; 2013; 2017) as well as the semiotic signs developed by Charles Peirce
Esta pesquisa pretende investigar os percursos de criação de Vince Gilligan na construção e desenvolvimento do personagem Walter White, na série Breaking Bad. Uma obra seriada feita para a televisão é uma obra aberta, em constante evolução e construção, e sujeita a intervenções drásticas em seu percurso narrativo. O autor que se vale de uma premissa inicial para a construção deste percurso deve atentar-se para a possibilidade de incoerências no decorrer da história, dado as interferências externas e características deste mercado, fato este que não encontramos no decorrer da narrativa da série e que nos instiga a investigar quais foram os percursos criados pelo autor para estabelecer a evolução natural do personagem, sem perder, porém, a identidade e coerência narrativa. O foco do estudo está na análise dos episódios da série, de entrevistas dadas pelo autor e por publicação especifica sobre os bastidores dos processos de criação da série com a intenção de entender as interações entre os procedimentos de construção de roteiros e as escolhas de recursos audiovisuais adotados pelo autor ao longo das temporadas, adotar a perspectiva de processo para discutir a série ao longo das temporadas e fazer uma reflexão sobre o gênero série no contexto do Audiovisual sob o ponto de vista da construção da coerência narrativa ao longo do tempo. Para tal, a fundamentação teórica apoiar-se-á nos conceitos de autor encontrados nos estudos feitos por Machado (2011) e Bakhtin (2010); em interação com os conceitos da crítica de processos e redes de Criação (SALLES, 2000; 2006; 2008; 2013; 2017); e com os conceitos sobre signos semióticos de Charles Peirce

Resumo: Este trabalho de mestrado tem por finalidade mostrar as diferenças encontradas na formação discursiva ¿ por meio da análise de discurso ¿ da produção textual do jornalista e escritor Fausto Wolff durante a sua colaboração no jornal O Pasquim 21. Dividida em dois momentos, a análise terá início com as crônicas produzidas no ano de 2002 e, em seguida, com as de 2003 e 2004 ¿ divididas igualmente em um montante de 13 textos para cada período. As crônicas serão analisadas de acordo com suas condições de produção levando em conta os preceitos da Análise de Discurso Francesa. Por se tratar de um momento histórico, devido a uma sucessão presidencial disputada por dois grandes partidos (PT e PSDB) que se opunham e tentavam demarcar um lugar nas urnas, o que se pretende com os textos analisados, além de definir o lugar da fala do autor e caracterizar a posição de seu discurso, é revelar através das imagens construídas no discurso de FW o político ideal
Abstract: This paper of Master¿s Degree aims to show the differences found at the discursive formation ¿ through the analysis of discourse ¿ of the textual production by the journalist and writer Fausto Wolff during his collaboration on the O Pasquim 21 newspaper. Split in two moments, the analysis will begin with the chronicles produced in 2002 and then with those from 2003 and 2004 ¿ equally split in an amount of 13 texts for each period. The chronicles will be analyzed according to their conditions of production taking into consideration the precepts of the French Analysis of Discourse. As it is a historical moment, due to a presidential succession disputed by two major parties (PT and PSDB) that were antagonists and tried to take their place at the ballot box, the analyzed texts intend, besides defining the place of the author¿s speech and characterizing the position of his discourse, to reveal the ideal politician through the images built in Fausto Wolff¿s discourse

Full textIn 19th and 20th centuries America and West Indies, the national poet’s works lay at the centre of a traffic of images. This traffic feeds the fragile social ties of young collectivities, at a time when communities are bound by imagination rather than by direct contact between their members. Distancing themselves from the representations of the community circulating at that time, like the exotic images of the New World’s nature, the poet offers an ambitious democratic vision for the future which is channeled through images of the territory, the people, slavery and history. The poet’s ethos encourages the reader to appropriate this discourse by presenting the author as a role model. However, it is mainly thanks to his style, at odds with the literary norms of his time, that the poet is able to act upon society. Whitman, Martí and Césaire do not so much contrive to capture their people’s spirit, as they participate through their work on the fragment, on popular poetical forms or on the destabilizing of meaning, in the creation of a common devenir

Full textAlthough initially dismissed as superficial, Harold Pinter’s Betrayal, Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing, and Patrick Marber’s Closer use the theme of marital betrayal as a trope to investigate metatheatrical and epistemological issues. This study aims to demonstrate how these three plays define and explore the concept of authenticity within the fictional as well as the actual world; how arbitrary the construction and mediation of the characters’ identities are, not only from their own perspective, but also from the audience’s; the significance of the audience’s role in these plays and how issues of authenticity, fictionality and dishonesty impact on a genre that depends on illusion. This study intends to provide a new interpretation of these three texts through an analysis drawn from postmodern and poststructuralist theories, concerning the concept of authenticity within art and language. This study finds that the fictional worlds in these plays are created through mediation, which includes everyday language as well as complex works of art. Authenticity is shown to be an elusive concept. Language is either unsuccessfully used to force authentic responses from characters, or as a shield. In Betrayal, language functions as a protective barrier, preventing the characters from knowing one another. The Real Thing suggests that although inauthenticity may be established, the inverse is not necessarily true. In Closer, the characters try in vain to access authenticity through different registers of language. Furthermore, neither the body nor the mind is shown to be the locus of authenticity in Closer. Within the postmodern context where originality is impossible, mimicry is not seen as something external and inauthentic, but as inextricably part of human existence. The audience is drawn into the fictional world of these plays as its members are able to identify with the disillusionment of the characters and their inability to form a definitive view of each other. Simultaneously, the audience is ousted from the fictional world by being reminded of the author’s presence through metatheatrical devices. These plays take advantage of the fictional status of theatre to explore issues of authenticity, positioning them in direct opposition to postdramatic and verbatim plays.
