Full textThis dissertation inspects how Jonathan Franzen, Don DeLillo, and Jane Smiley present the inconsistencies of the law. These American novelists emplot global escapes into their work as a means to inform notions of liberty and jurisprudence. For these writers, freedom requires the recognition of contradictory---and unanticipated---narratives. "Justice Theory" emerges where media, gambling, performance, and suburban studies intersect with ethics, globalism, and narratology. In Franzen's novel The Corrections and essay collection How to Be Alone, self-validation requires the appreciation of the stories of others. In DeLillo's later works, particularly the plays The Day Room and Valparaiso, justice materializes in terms of isolation and the will to alter personal stories. For Smiley, as construed in her long novels The Greenlanders and Horse Heaven, dynamic responsive actions attend risky, unpredictable encounters in competitive milieus like the racetrack. These authors reveal that executions of justice and the perpetration of injustice involve varied consequences. The law is not only about punishment and recompense. Rather, legality directs the consequences of its applications toward the ideal of justice, which evolves alongside the subjects that it serves and the stories that they relate.

Resumo: Em 1789 um novo século se impôs ao mundo. Das Luzes à Escuridão, o homem francês tornou-se apenas homem. O medo, o silêncio e o tédio invadiam o coração de uma sociedade. O sublime, ou o grotesco, como diria Victor Hugo, inevitavelmente levaria a outra revolução. Na política, nos costumes, nas artes, o novo urgia por eclodir. Nesse cenário, Stendhal, homem, crítico e escritor de seu tempo, quer-se portador de uma reviravolta nunca antes concebida. Quer, assim, olhar para sua nação e refletir através do reino das palavras o que nela encontrava. Quer, da mesma maneira, retratar a alma de seus contemporâneos, ávida de emoções e de algo que há muito a França desconhecia, o amor-paixão. Para tanto, decide exumar como herói o demônio das terras do midi, o transgressor por natureza, o amante indomável, Don Juan. A presente dissertação, diante desse fato, tem por escopo a análise dessa figura que se torna central na produção romanesca do autor ao se transfigurar em miroir de um século e de uma nação pós-revolucionários. E nesse percurso, passando pelos diversos modelos de Don Juan da história literária pelo próprio Stendhal relembrados e criticados, observaremos de que maneira se constituiu seu ideal de Romantismo, o Beau moderne, em meio à incessante busca por um herói verdadeiro
Abstract: In 1789, a new century imposed itself on the world. From Light to Darkness, the French man became just a man. Fear, silence and boredom invaded the heart of a society. The sublime, or the grotesque, as would say Victor Hugo, nothing else could provoke but the revolution. In politics, in mores, in arts, the new urged to hatch. In this scenario, Stendhal, man, critic and writer of his time, wants to hold a twist never before conceived. He wants, then, to look to his nation and reflect through the realm of words that which he could find in it. He wants, in the same way, to portray the soul of his contemporaries, eager for emotions and of something that remained unknown to France for a long time, love-passion. Therefore, Stendhal decides to exhume as hero the devil of midi's land, the transgressor by nature, the untamed lover, Don Juan. This thesis, in the face of this fact, has as its goal the analysis of this figure that became central in Stendhal's novelistic work as he is transfigured in miroir of a century and of a post-revolutionary nation. And along this path, passing through many different Don Juans of literary history, remembered and criticized by Stendhal, we will observe how it has constituted his ideal of Romanticism, the Beau moderne, amid the ceaseless quest for a true hero
