Full textAbstract:
During the 18th century, the novel was criticized for a lack of representation of reality and in turn a public distrust of fiction was established. The epistolary form addressed these issues by presenting a narrative that was bound by a real-life structure that allowed for the illusion of reality and authenticity. Today, this distrust of fiction is nonexistent but the epistolary form is still present and a frequently used literary device, providing the real-life structure for an escape from reality. However, while commercial fiction has embraced the form and moved past the historical justification of the epistolary novel, most artists’ books have not. This paper will prove how the artist book has struggled to move past the historical epistolary form and what lessons it can take from the world of contemporary commercial fiction.

Miller, Andrew Kei. "Jamaica to the world : a study of Jamaican (and West Indian) epistolary practices." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2012. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3597/.
Full textAbstract:
The Caribbean islands have been distinguished by mass migratory patterns and diasporic communities that have moved into and out of the region; as a consequence, the genre of the letter has been an important one to the culture and has provided a template for many creative works. This dissertation is the first major study on West Indian epistolary practices: personal letters, emails, verse epistles, epistolary novels, letters to editors, etc. It focuses on a contemporary period – from the 1930s to the present, and on examples that have come out of Jamaica. The dissertation offers both close-readings on a range of epistolary texts and theoretical frameworks in which to consider them and some of the ways in which Caribbean people have been addressing themselves to each other, and to the wider world. My first chapter looks at the non-fictional letters of Sir Alexander Bustamante and Sir Vidia Naipaul. It reflects on the ways in which the public personas of these two men had been created and manipulated through their public and private letters. My second chapter tries to expand a critical project which has been satisfied to simply place contemporary epistolary fiction within an eighteenth century genealogy. I propose another conversation which understands recent examples of West Indian epistolary fiction within their contemporary cultures. My third chapter looks at examples of Jamaican verse epistles and considers how three poets – Lorna Goodison, James Berry and Louise Bennett – have attempted, with varying degrees of success, to create an epistolary voice that is both literary and oral. My fourth chapter looks at the popular Jamaican newspaper advice column, Dear Pastor. It considers the ways in which evangelical Christianity has impacted on the construction of a West Indian epistolary voice and consequently the shape of a West Indian public sphere. My final chapter considers how technology has changed epistolography; specifically how the email, Facebook messages, and tweets have both transformed and preserved the letter. I end with a presentation of a personal corpus of emails titled The Cold Onion Chronicles with some reflections on remediation of epistolary forms.

Resumo: No romance epistolar O marido da adúltera, publicado em 1882 pelo escritor e jornalista Lúcio de Mendonça, encontram-se traços marcantes e inequívocos da estética naturalista desenvolvida, sobretudo, por Émile Zola. Neste trabalho, pretende-se verificar de que modo o idealizador da Academia Brasileira de Letras recebeu as ideias do Naturalismo e as inseriu em sua obra, verificando o processo de adaptação executado pelo autor brasileiro, que soube dialogar com a estética naturalista em voga na época, aplicando muitos de seus princípios, discordando de alguns deles. Cabe observar, igualmente, o fato de que Lúcio de Mendonça optou pelo romance epistolar, gênero pouco utilizado no Brasil do século XIX, mas fundamental para a construção desta obra. Esta pesquisa visa, portanto, analisar de que maneira o autor de O marido da adúltera utilizou-se do naturalismo francês para criar um romance epistolar brasileiro, publicado, originalmente, no periódico O Colombo, em forma de folhetim; característica, aliás, que se conserva no momento da publicação do romance em livro, em 1882
Abstract: On the epistolary novel The adulterer's husband, published in 1882 by the writer and journalist Lúcio de Mendonça, it‟s found distinctive features and unequivocal from the naturalist theory developed, especially, by Émile Zola. In the present paper, it‟s intended to verify what way the creator from the Brazilian Academy of Letters received the ideas of Naturalism and put them into his work, checking the adaptation process performed by the Brazilian author, who knew how to dialog with the naturalist aesthetics in common use that time, enforcing lots of his principles, disagreeing with some of them. It must be noted, equally, the fact that Lúcio de Mendonça chose the epistolary novel, a not very used gender in Brazil in XIX century, but something fundamental to this work to be made. Therefore, this research aims to analyze what way The adulterer's husband's author used the French naturalism to create the Brazilian epistolary novel, published, at first, by Colombo journal, as a soap opera; characteristics that, by the way, are preserved at the book‟s publishing moment, in 1882

Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the presence of the epistolary tradition of female complaint in the writings of five late eighteenth-century women writers: Hester Thrale Piozzi, Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Turner Smith, Mary Robinson, and Frances Burney D’Arblay. The epistolary female complaint tradition is premised on the suggestion that readers are permitted, through the literary endeavours of male authors/transcribers, a glimpse into the authentically felt woes of women; the writers in this study both question and exploit this expectation. Often viewed by critics like John Kerrigan as a tradition that stifled female creativity, epistolary female complaint proves, this thesis argues, a lively and enlivening tradition for women writers; it provided opportunities for literary experimentation and enabled them to turn their experiences into artistic form. Five themes central to the epistolary female complaint tradition are considered: betrayal, absence, suicide, falls, and authorship. Each chapter looks at one theme and one author specifically. Chapter 1 examines the narrative of betrayal Hester Thrale Piozzi established in her journals from 1764 to 1784. Chapter 2 turns to Mary Wollstonecraft and her accounts of absence in her private letters to Gilbert Imlay, and her epistolary travel account, A Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark (1796). Chapter 3 discusses Charlotte Turner Smith’s engagement with the theme of suicide in her Elegiac Sonnets (1784) and her epistolary novel, Desmond(1792). Chapter 4 considers the strategies employed in Mary Robinson’s autobiographical, poetic, and fictional writings, which work to move beyond the moral fall the tradition implied. Chapter 5 focuses on the recurrent theme of authorial debt in Frances Burney D’Arblay’s journals, plays, and fiction. I conclude by considering Jane Austen’s appropriation of the tradition in her final novel, Persuasion (1818), and her transformation of the tradition by providing a resolution to the cause of complaint.

Full textAbstract:
My study seeks to explore the interest that Spanish women authors such as Josefina Aldecoa, Carme Riera, Nuria Amat, Esther Tusquets, Marina Mayoral, Carmen Martín Gaite, and Olga Guirao have taken in the revival of epistolary fiction in recent decades. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century epistolary fiction in Spain was conditioned by social practices and by literary conventions that typically confined its heroines to an amorous plot and women authors to anonymity. I contend that if modern tradition of epistolary practices and other male-discriminatory practices kept women writers silenced or invisible in the Spanish literary world, contemporary women writers sketch themselves back into their texts. Fictional letters function as written self-portraits for them to reflect and tell their own stories, thereby creating a playful mirror effect between the fictional epistolographer and the historical author. By pushing the conventional boundaries of letter writing as a sentimental genre, contemporary women authors take liberty to rewrite female representation and to give the fictional protagonists a new voice and visibility. They revisit the theme of love in epistolary literature to explore refashioned—and often transgressive—discourses on gender, sexuality, and subject identity.

Herzhauser, Betty J. "The Role of the Interruption in Young Adult Epistolary Novels." Scholar Commons, 2015. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/5701.
Full textAbstract:
Within the genre of young adult literature, a growing trend is the use of epistolary messages through electronic methods between characters. These messages are set apart from the formal text of the narrative of the novel creating a break in the text features and layout of the page. Epistolary texts require a more sophisticated reading method and level of interpretation because the epistolary style blends multiple voices and points of view into the plot, creating complicated narration. The reader must navigate the narrator’s path in order to extract meaning from the text. In this hermeneutic study, I examined the text structures of three young adult novels that contained epistolary excerpts. I used ethnographic content analysis (Altheide 1987) to isolate, analyze, and then contextualize the different epistolary moments within the narrative of the novel. The study was guided by two research questions: 1. What types of text structures and features did authors of selected young adult literature with epistolary interruptions published since 2008 use across the body of the published work? 2. How did the authors of selected young adult literature situate the different text structures of interruption into the flow of the narrative? What happened after the interruption? I used a coding system that I developed from a case study of the novel Falling for Hamlet by Michelle Ray (2011). Through my analysis I found that the authors used specific verbs to announce an interruption. The interruptions, though few in number, require readers to consider context of the message for event, setting, speaker, purpose and tone as it relates within the message itself and the arc of the plot. In addition, following the interruptions, the reader must decide how to incorporate the epistolary interruption into the narrative as adding to the conflict, adding detail, ending a scene, or simply returning to the narrative. . Therefore, the interruptions in epistolary young adult novels incorporated the text or literacy practices of young adults. Such incorporation reflects the changes in literacy practices in the early 21st century that may render novels of this style a challenge to readers in creating meaning. The study further incorporates Bakhtin’s theory of heteroglossia (1980) that a novel does not contain a single language but a plurality of languages within a single langue and Dresang’s Theory of Radical Change (1999) of connectivity, interactivity, and access. Texts of this nature offer teachers of reading opportunities to guide students through text features to synthesize information in fiction and non-fiction texts.

Hirata, Yoko. "John of Salisbury and his correspondents : a study of the epistolary relationships between John of Salisbury and his correspondents." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1992. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3508/.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation deals with the relationships between John of Salisbury and his correspondents as observed through his letters. As a rule, the letters discussed are those written in John's own name, not those which were written on behalf of others. Most such letters fall into the period between 1164-1170 while he was an exile serving Becket. John's correspondents are divided into sixteen groups according to location and activities. The groupings have been made according to biographical order so that the correspondents whom John encountered in the early part of his life are treated earlier and those whom he encountered later are examined later in the thesis. The dissertation attempts to establish and evaluate the relationships between John and these groups and also between John and each individual correspondent. It aims to show what John meant to his correspondents and what they meant to him, how John adjusted himself to his correspondents, what effects he expected to produce through his letters and how successful he was in this. On account of the period to which most of this correspondence belongs, the dissertation is also much concerned with the Becket dispute and with John's role in it. However, while emphasis is placed on those years, attempts have also been made to trace John's relationships with his correspondents as far back and as far forward as possible. Consequently special attention is paid to chronology in order to depict in full the evolution of the relationships between John and particular groups or individuals over a long period of time whenever possible. The dissertation aims to shed clearer light not only on the activities of John of Salisbury but also on the numerous persons with whom he corresponded.

Full textAbstract:
Although the letter purports to represent fact, it cannot avoid having a partly or potentially fictive status, turning as it does on the complex interplay between the real and the imagined. Consequently, the main critical approach of this paper is to consider the interactions between conflicting modes of expression in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century epistolary fiction. The rhetorical and conceptual contrarieties that I examine are broadly characterized by the contradiction between the implied spontaneity of the familiar letter and the inevitable artifice of its form. Working with familiar letters by four writers between the years 1740 and 1825, I specifically address various narrative patterns by which each turns to the act of communication to draw upon the experience of an isolated self. Against a background which explores the main developments in epistolary fiction and a historical progression of the uses and significance of letter-writing, I investigate epistolary texts by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Lord Byron, John Keats, and William Hazlitt. In turning to letters by each author, I explore the literary, theoretical and especially the psychological implications of the tenuous divisions between fact and fiction. In particular, my analysis stresses that letter-writing is an authorial act in which writing about the self can be understood as a literary form of self-portraiture or creative expression.I examine this claim---and the metaphors defining it---in two ways. First, by focusing on selected letters, I foreground each writer's language as an agent of internal conflict. In so doing, I am able to formulate distinctive questions regarding the potential of epistolary narratives to transform emotional or psychological schisms into fictions which become explicitly creative texts. Secondly, I analyze the changing nature of the fictions which emerge through this process. My findings conclude that authors' letters must be read, at least very often, as a constituent part of their literary work and as interpretive models of a shifting dynamic of psychological expression.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I argue that identity construction is a postal effect: it results from a transmission of some sort, received or sent. I examine three instances of postal effect. In a chapter on Jacques Derrida's "Envois," a collection of fragments presented as if transcribed from a one-way love letter correspondence, I explore the performative force of relayed address. Working from Derrida's account of the literary performative, I point out that the "Envois" letters are addressed to "you" in the singular, which implies an address reserved for a particular subject, but that the postal relay of the collection enacts a repetition of their address. For the reader of the book, this repetition has evocative force which I compare with the force of transference in the context of the psychoanalytic situation. In a second chapter on the "Envois" letters, I examine their haunting effect. The "Envois" letters have an I/we signature that intimates pluralities in the writing subject. I argue that this signature is the effect of a postal relay of another order: a phantom, which Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok define as a gap in the psychic topography of the subject caused by a secret unwittingly received along with a legacy. To a certain extent, the "Envois" letters are written by Plato's "in-voices." In a chapter on J. M. Coetzee's epistolary novel Age of Iron, I explore the gift effects of a posthumous letter. Age of Iron is an epistolary novel consisting exclusively of a single letter written by a dying South African woman, Mrs. Curren, to her daughter, a political objector who has emigrated to the United States. Writing her letter in the knowledge that her death is imminent, Mrs. Curren anticipates her daughter's mourning. Working with J. L. Austin's doctrine of illocutionary forces and Derrida's analysis of the gift event, I postulate two effects of Mrs. Curren's letter, one that annuls the gift in a circular return and another that surpasses this circuit with textual diss

Vincent, Tonja S. "From Epistolary Form to Embedded Narratological Device: Embedded Epistles in Austen and Scott." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2016. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/6444.
Full textAbstract:
The perception that the epistolary form was rejected by novelists during the Romantic Era has largely been accepted by scholars. However, in looking at the period's two most prominent authors, Walter Scott and Jane Austen, we see that the epistolary form remained vibrant long after its supposed demise. Throughout their careers, both Austen and Scott employed embedded letters as a tool to create authenticity. Both Austen and Scott use what I call "literary letters" to create a sense of realism in their novels that contributed to the rise of the novel. Scholars often claim that Austen eschewed the epistolary form with Lady Susan and solidified her rejection by revising both Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice from epistolary novels to third person narration. But a careful examination shows that Austen followed Richardson's tradition with Lady Susan, that Sense and Sensibility was not originally written in epistolary form, and that Austen retained sixteen critical letters in Pride and Prejudice. In fact, Darcy's five-page letter to Elizabeth signals Austen's continued reliance on the form as it completely changes the dynamics of the novel and transforms Elizabeth from a static protagonist to a dynamic heroine. Further indication that Austen found value in the form is seen in her later and often considered more mature novels, Emma and Persuasion, where she found innovate ways to turn the epistolary form into an embedded narratological device. The value of letters in Scott's novels is often overlooked. For instance in Heart of Midlothian, Jeanie Down's claim that letters cannot feel is often cited as an argument that oral testimony is more valuable than written, yet it is a letter that ultimately gets her an audience with the queen. In fact, in both Heart of Midlothian and Redgauntlet, Scott explains the legal implications of the written testimony, its preference over oral testimony, and its power in persuading both in and out of court. And in Guy Mannering, Scott relies on embedded letters to develop important plot points including the identity of the lost heir, create believable characters, and explore the conflict between Scottish traditions and law. And although Redgauntlet is often considered the moment Scott eschewed the epistolary form, the way he employs letters to create the illusion that his characters are authentic historical figures helps him explore notions of national identity.

Full textAbstract:
The inherent flexibility of the letter form or epistolary mode of writing frees the writer within the framework of salutations and closings to use vocabulary and language to create, to omit or to invert conventional constraints imposed on women by a patriarchal society. The letter begins as a blank page but becomes the space for writing one’s personal thoughts and emotions to the absent other in a communicative effort to minimize the separation.
This dissertation examines the female narrator in actual letters written during the Spanish emigration to the New World in the sixteenth century and four epistolary novels written by female authors during the nineteenth- and twentieth centuries. The female “I” emerges in the selected texts and attests to the writer’s ability to inhabit her own writing space. By applying Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism and Janet Altman’s formal approach to the epistolary novel, the epistolary and literary textual creations by women writers challenge the silence and traditional anonymity generally assigned to women. I explore the cultural enculturation of the transgressive female who loses her “self”, her very being because of her inability to conform to societal norms as outlined by Barbara Creed and Elaine Showalter. In addition, I apply ideas from Linda Kauffman’s study on the transformation of the female writer who metamorphoses from victim to artist through the use of pen and paper. The female ‘self’ crafted by each of the letter writers is studied as they narrate their space, exercise agency, and negotiate the conflicts and contradictions of their domestic and public space.
The epistolary, whether actual or fictional, becomes a textual creation challenging the silence and traditional anonymity assigned to women. The letter, when used as a literary device, is the perfect vehicle to create a narrator who controls his or her own life’s narrative. The writer constructs an implicit recipient linking the addressee and engages the reader in an absorbing story.

Full textAbstract:
Pushing the "Scented Envelope": Elisa von der Recke at the Cultural Crossroads Carrie L. Cox Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages, BYU Master of Arts This thesis serves as an introduction to the 5-volume electronic edition of the collected works of the influential German-language author Elisa von der Recke to be published by the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages at Brigham Young University. The compilation presents a modern edition of Recke's published writings and letters in German, with an extensive critical apparatus in English, including introductions to the edition, author and individual sections, biographical information, a complete bibliography of primary and secondary works, a photo/portrait gallery, and critical annotations. During her life as an author, traveler, social luminary, and salonnière, Elisa von der Recke (1754-1833) stood at the crossroads of European history and culture. Born into a German-speaking noble family in the Duchy of Courland (now Lithuania), Recke was positioned between the conflicting intellectual discourses of religion and rational Enlightenment; between intellect and sentiment; between the noble class, to which she belonged, and the bourgeoisie, which she preferred; between traditional views of a woman's role, and her own ceaseless intellectual striving. This essay examines the way Recke creatively asserted herself as an individual in spite of the limitations of her time in three main areas. First, I discuss the way that Elisa writes her memoir in an expertly layered style, utilizing her author's voice alternately as both character and narrator. Second, I examine discusses her unconventional education and why it allowed for exceptional opportunities for a woman at her time, and thirdly, I consider Elisa's lifelong search for affection that led her to uniquely constructive avenues atypical of someone so deprived of consistent affection as Elisa had been in her childhood and marriage. Because of Recke's central position in the culture of her time, her writings provide a wealth of insight relevant to gender roles, political, religious and philosophical history, as well as travel and culture. What was unique about Elisa von der Recke, was her quiet refusal to remain within the borders set for her by society, her social status and her gender. Where many women might never have questioned the role they were assigned and its restrictions, and others never found a way to escape them, against all odds, Elisa burst politely through the "scented envelope" that contained her, and literally created herself, her education, her role in society, and her reputation, becoming in the process a truly remarkable woman.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche étudie les lettres de Paul de Tarse, telles que conservées dans le Nouveau Testament, dans le contexte des pratiques épistolaires antiques, principalement judéennes. L’interrogation initiale est double : d’une part, elle porte sur le potentiel documentaire offert par les sources de type épistolaire et, d’autre part, sur le potentiel pragmatique spécifique du médium épistolaire pour induire des changements chez les destinataires. Les lettres de Paul ont été écrites non pour consigner des réalités ou des vérités d’autrefois en tant que telles, mais pour communiquer efficacement auprès de cercles divers et variés de destinataires. Cette double interrogation est déployée en amont, parmi les pratiques susceptibles d’avoir servi de modèle, comme celle liée à la lettre aux exilés insérée narrativement dans le Livre du prophète Jérémie (chapitre 29). Celle-ci a servi de modèle de communication à distance pendant plusieurs siècles parmi différents milieux de la Diaspora judéenne. Est ensuite interrogée la pratique épistolaire de Paul lui-même, en particulier celle déployée dans sa IIe Lettre aux Corinthiens (chapitres 10-13). Cette séquence, écrite au moment d’une très forte remise en question de son autorité d’apôtre, montre bien le potentiel pragmatique que Paul reconnaissait au médium épistolaire, ceci en convoquant notamment l’autorité de Jérémie. Enfin, en aval, on s’intéresse aux débuts l’histoire de la réception de l’autorité d’épistolier de Paul. Celle-ci montre comment on a reconnu très tôt à l’apôtre Paul une autorité d’épistolier, à l’instar des prophètes écrivains de l’ancien IsraëlThis research examines the letters of Paul of Tarsus, as preserved in the New Testament within the context of letter writing of that time, principally Judean ones. The initial examination questions both the potential of sources such as letters to provide information about an era, and the specific pragmatic potential of the epistolary medium as a means of inducing change in its recipients. As such, the letters of Paul were written not to conserve the historical realities or truths of the past, but to communicate efficiently with diverse circles and various recipients. The two-part examination is used to gain a perspective on the practices of the time, which may have been used as models for epistolary writing. The letter addressing the Judean Diasporas exiles inserted into the narrative of the Book of Jeremy (chapter 29) is such a model, providing a means of communicating over distance and time among the different groups. The epistolary practice of Paul himself is then examined. In particular, his Second letter to Corinthians (chapters 10-13), written in a moment of intense self-examination as his apostolic authority was questioned, is a good example of the pragmatic potential that Paul recognised in the epistolary medium, particularly in light of the prophet Jeremy. Finally, the beginnings of the apostle Paul’s epistolary writing and it’s reception are explored, showing how his credibility as an apostolic authority was quickly and easily recognised as being of the same quality as those of the prophet writers of ancient Israel

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes Ying Chen's Les Lettres Chinoises through the lenses of literary translation, migrant writing and epistolary genres, as well as through critical theory of Chen's poetics in order to inform a translation of said novel from French into English. This theoretical groundwork is accompanied by analysis of the process of the translation, including specifications, methods used, and justifications for translation decisions. Les Lettres Chinoises is Ying Chen's second novel, written in French rather than her native Chinese language. Spanning a fifty-seven letter exchange between Shanghai and Montreal, Chen's choice to write in language other than her first, as well as the themes presented in the novel such as emigration, exile, identity, and Otherness, render Chen's novel ideal for critical discussion in the domain of migrant writing theory. Translating any exophonic text presents particular challenges for the translator and the analysis of these difficulties enrich both the translation as well as an understanding of the migrant writing genre. Inherent in these challenges is negotiating transparency (foreignization versus domestication) in the translation of cultural traces that speak of other traditions and realities. Chen's Les Lettres Chinoises is unique among migrant texts however, because she privileges voice through the use of the epistolary genre, a form that bespeaks a 19th century Western tradition. Her choice of this genre provides insight into the literary and cultural traditions that shaped her writing and encourage the reader as well as the translator to consider, or rather reconsider, the novel's intent. Les Lettres Chinoises contributes to the migrant and epistolary genres, redefining and enhancing each respectively. Chen's prerogatives as viewed through these lenses are varied: through her three letter-writing characters she reenacts literal and existential exile, creates a space of enunciation through letter writing, all while defining her own poetic style in another language. I negotiated these prerogatives in the translation by creating three subtly distinct and evolving voices for each of the characters. I used existing translations of Chen's works to create consistency in style and accuracy. Included as well are excerpts from my final translation.

Full textAbstract:
Grâce aux travaux récents des historiens et des spécialistes de la littérature galante, la promotion théorisée et valorisée de la tendresse est bien connue. En revanche, rares sont les études de cas attentives à ses formes d’expression. Au moment où Mme de Sévigné écrit ses lettres, la tendresse est conçue comme une modulation du lien interpersonnel spécifique, dont les enjeux sont à relier d’une part, à la méfiance envers les passions, et d’autre part, aux raffinements affectifs et sentimentaux de l’esthétique galante.Le terme d’écriture le laisse entrevoir : il ne s’agit pas de traquer d’hypothétiques sentiments intimes, mais bien plutôt d’analyser, au plus près du texte, leurs mises en scène et leurs modalités d’inscription. Loin de donner accès en toute transparence à la vie intérieure de l’épistolière, l’expression des sentiments maternels est informée par des stratégies rhétoriques sous-tendues aussi bien par des contraintes génériques que par des hiérarchies axiologiques. Il convient donc de raisonner en termes de possibles langagiers – indissociables de l’appropriation, pragmatiquement orientée, de modèles culturels.Éclairer une manière de dire par les codes et les valeurs qu’elle cristallise, afin de restituer aux modulations stylistiques du sentiment maternel leur pleine portée, dans le cadre de ses possibilités d’expression et de ses marges d’innovation : tel est l’objectif de ce travailThis thesis analyses the stylistic means by which Mme de Sévigné appropriates the ideal of tenderness and builds an ethical category suited to the particularities of the relationship with her daughter. It emphasizes therefore how historical and ideological circumstances must be taken into account to understand Mme de Sévigné’ s epistolary style in a specific cultural context

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This thesis discusses and analyses a 19th century female author's vanishing from history. The study investigates social relationships as figured and described in the epistolary form, based on letters between the author herself and different members of her family. It also tries to identify the author's position and situation in her time and society according to important themes and motifs in her novels. The main purpose is not to reconstruct history, but rather to show the many complex histories that can also be described, apart from the simplified and generalized one. The aim of this study is to, from a post-structuralist perspective, analyze the position of author Marianne Lundegård-Hagberg, and her role as a performative, discursive person that history forgot.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how the fortunes of poets and the status of poetry were changing at the end of the sixteenth century in Portugal. Centring on the long-neglected verse epistles in Diogo Bernardes's 'O Lima' (1596), I re-evaluate our sense of what it meant to be a poet when writing verse was not a sure-fire way to earn a living and when lyric poetry was regularly lampooned as trifling and immoral. Bernardes's surprisingly forthright cartas, I argue, offer new insights into the protagonists and procedures of literary patronage in Portugal. I use a combination of close readings and sociological methods to illuminate the practical strategies and rhetorical brinkmanship that Bernardes deployed in his quest for favour and highlight the frustrations and moral dilemmas of seeking the support of powerful, but fickle, patrons. Bernardes was a particularly remarkable writer for having printed his verse during his lifetime, and so I also trace how lyric verse was slowly legitimated as a cultural product during the sixteenth century and offer a case study of how an author's reputation was forged in the collaborative enterprise of print, then re-formed by the work of readers, thereby shedding light on the complex mechanisms of early modern canon formation. Paradoxically, I demonstrate that unequivocal praise of a writer's work can harm, rather than help, their chances of remaining in the canon. Although Bernardes's work is an echo chamber for these deep reverberations from the broader history of literature, this thesis also listens closely to Bernardes's distinctive poetic voice and allows it to speak out. Playful, candid, mercurial, it is a poetic voice that here seeks a wider audience.

Trabalho que tem como objetivo apontar a transformação da imagem da mulher através dos tempos, tal como tem sido representada na literatura, desde suas origens bíblicas, até o final do século XX. A análise dessa imagem feminina, em sua trajetória histórico-literária se apoiou em textos de várias épocas, começando pela Bíblia, passando pela Era Medieval (cantigas de amor e cantigas de amigo), Era Clássica (episódio de Inês de Castro, em Os Lusíadas; Carta de Guia de Casados, de Dom Francisco Manuel de Melo; e As Cartas Portuguesas, de Sóror Mariana Alcoforado), Era Romântica (as cartas entre Camilo Castelo Branco e D. Ana Plácido; e as cartas entre Simão e Teresa na obra Amor de Perdição de Camilo Castelo Branco) e Era Contemporânea (Novas Cartas Portuguesas). Através da poesia e do gênero epistolar verifica-se uma linha horizontal a percorrer todos os períodos literários: a linha que registra a permanência da imagem da mulher-mãe e mulher-esposa, consagradas pelo sistema familiar patriarcal. Entretanto, verifica-se que, aqui e ali, surgem cortes verticais nessa linha horizontal, os quais correspondem a questionamentos femininos buscando romper a linha da tradição. A localização dessas "linhas" e "cortes" são os pontos básicos desta dissertação.This work that has as objective to point the transformation of the womans image through the times, just as it has been represented in the literature, from their biblical origins, until the end of the century XX. The analysis of that feminine image, in his historical-literary path, leaned on in texts of several times, beginning for the Bible, going by the Medieval Era (love ballads and friends ballads), going by Classic Era (episode of Inês de Castro - in the Lusíadas; Carta de Guia de Casados, of Dom Francisco Manuel de Melo; and the Portuguese Letters, of Sóror Mariana Alcoforado), going by Romantic Era (the letters between Camilo Castelo Branco and D. Ana Plácido; and the letters between Simão and Teresa in the Amor de Perdição - of Camilo Castelo Branco) and Contemporary Era ( Novas Cartas Portuguesas). Through of the poesy and of the gender letter a horizontal line is verified to travel all of the literary periods - the line that registers the permanence of the woman-mothers image and woman-wife, consecrated by the patriarchal family system. However, it is verified that, here and there, vertical cuts appear in that horizontal line, wich correspond the feminine question looking for to break the line of the tradition. The location of those "lines" and "cuts" are the basic points of that dissertation.

This work aims at presenting the results of our research on point of view and the creation of meanings in the novel Dangerous liaisons, by Choderlos de Laclos, and in two of its film adaptations: Dangerous liaisons 1960 (1959), by Roger Vadim, and Dangerous liaisons (1988), by Stephen Frears. Throughout the work, we try to carry out a comparative analysis between the source text and its two hypertexts, focusing on the question of narrative perspective and the meanings this category produces. We started with a discussion of film adaptation of literary works, so as to confirm that the question of fidelity has long been overcome, having been replaced by a rather more coherent and necessary debate that concerning the sociology of adaptation, that is, the context in which the adaptations are materialized. From this point we try to present a concept and a classification of point of view that enabled us to analyze the selected narratives. The constructed theoretical support was used in the investigation of both the novel by Laclos and the adaptations by Vadim and Frears. Our initial hypothesis is that point of view is the most responsible element, in each work, for the elaboration of different meanings of evil. Taking into account the considerable relevance of narratives in our everyday life, we understand the fundamental role of critical analysis of values conveyed by such stories, from which derives the significance of our research. We hope the research transcends the proposed analysis so as also to contribute with further critical readings of narratives that inhabit our everyday life.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar os resultados da nossa pesquisa sobre o ponto de vista e a criação de sentidos no romance As ligações perigosas, de Choderlos de Laclos, e em duas de suas adaptações fílmicas: Ligações amorosas 1960 (1959), de Roger Vadim, e Ligações perigosas (1988), de Stephen Frears. Nele, tentamos realizar uma análise comparativa entre o hipotexto e seus dois hipertextos, tendo como foco de atenção a questão da perspectiva narrativa e os significados por ela criados. Nosso ponto de partida foi a discussão sobre a adaptação para o cinema de obras literárias, durante a qual procuramos confirmar que a questão da fidelidade de transposição está há muito superada e já foi substituída pelo debate mais coerente e necessário sobre a sociologia da adaptação ou seja, sobre o contexto em que são realizadas as adaptações. A partir daí, procuramos apresentar um conceito e uma classificação da categoria do ponto de vista que nos permitisse realizar a análise das obras narrativas em questão. A base teórica construída foi utilizada na análise do romance de Laclos e das obras de Vadim e de Frears. Partimos da hipótese de que o ponto de vista é o maior responsável pela elaboração, em cada obra, de sentidos diferentes de mal. Levando-se em consideração a importância considerável das narrativas em nossa vida cotidiana, entendemos como é fundamental a análise crítica dos valores transmitidos por essas histórias, de onde a relevância de nossa pesquisa. Esperamos com ela não apenas realizar as análises propostas, mas ainda oferecer uma contribuição para a leitura cada vez mais crítica das narrativas que fazem parte de nosso dia-a-dia.

The "Phenomenon of Juazeiro" has fascinated the academic world as Braga (2008) in anthropology, Araujo (2007) in economics, and della Cava (1970) in history attest. Nevertheless, research from a linguistic and discourse perspective has lagged far behind. To tap this gap, the present work looks at Padre Cícero's epistolary political discourse on the fight for Juazeiro's independence from Crato, by drawing on concepts and categories from systemic-functional grammar (SFG) and critical discourse analysis (CDA) with a view to analyzing power relations among the social actors involved in the fight. From SFG, I utilized the systems of transitivity, speech function, mood, and modality for the descriptive and interpretative stages of analysis; from CDA, I borrowed the concepts of ideology (Fairclough, 1989, 2003) and hegemony (Gramsci, 1971, Fairclough, 2003, Laclau & Mouffe, 1985). Five research questions were posed: The first looks at how Padre Cícero represents himself and the other political actors of the social practice of fighting for Juazeiro's independence. The second asks how he construes, for himself and for the other social actors, their social roles. The third and the fourth questions inquire how the concepts of ideology and hegemony assist in the explanatory analytical stage. The last one looks at the kinds of power relations originated from the previous analyses. To answer the research questions, I analyzed four letters written by Padre Cícero in 1910 and published in O Rebate, with my access to them having been through Guimarães and Dumoulin (1983). The first two ones were addressed to the Governor of Ceará Col. Nogueira Accioly (L1 & L2), and the latter two, to the Mayor of Crato Col. Antônio Luís (L3 & L4). The letters were broken down into clauses, which were analyzed in relation to the categories of transitivity, speech function, mood, and modality. The transitivity results showed that two macro-figures emerged from the data, the first being of Padre Cícero as a powerful political actor as realized by his taking up prominent transitivity roles such as Actor in material processes, for instance, and the second being of him as a conciliatory political player as realized by, for example, his use of relational processes for the purpose of representing his relationship with Col. Antônio Luís as friendly. These macro-figures were reinforced by the results generated from the speech function, mood, and modality analyses. Padre Cícero construes his social role as a powerful politician by engendering his political world as a place of little space for uncertainty by using little modality. Parallel to this, his image of a conciliatory political player emerges as he struggles to reinforce his friendship with the Mayor of Crato and to show a disposition to help with the independence project on many occasions. Additionally, he construes Col. Antônio Luís's social role as equally powerful as the transitivity analysis of L3 and L4 shows. As for Col. Nogueira Accioly and Juazeiro and/or its people, Padre Cícero maintains the same passive pattern that characterized them throughout the analyses. The data were then analyzed for the concepts of ideology and hegemony, giving rise to three hegemonic lines and to three power relations. Next, the limitations of the present study were discussed, which were followed by suggestions for future research. Finally, two pedagogical implications were discussed, and the presentation of a sketchy model for analyzing political discourse proper was put forward
O "Fenômeno de Juazeiro" tem fascinado o mundo acadêmico,como atestam Braga (2008) na antropologia, Araujo (2007) naeconomia e della Cava (1970) na história. Entretanto, a pesquisado ponto de vista linguístico e discursivo não acompanhou asoutras áreas. Para explorar essa lacuna, o presente trabalhoanalisa o discurso político epistolar de Padre Cícero produzido durante a luta de Juazeiro por sua independência em relação a Crato. Vale-se de conceitos e categorias da Gramática Sistêmico-Funcional (GSF) e da Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD), com vista a analisar as relações de poder entre os atores sociais envolvidos na luta. Da GSF, utilizei os sistemas de transitividade, função discursiva, modo e modalidade nas fases descritiva e interpretativa da análise; da ACD, apropriei-me dos conceitos de ideologia (Fairclough, 1989, 2003) e de hegemonia (Gramsci, 1971, Fairclough , 2003, Laclau & Mouffe, 1985). Cinco perguntas de pesquisa foram feitas. A primeira interroga sobre como Padre Cícero representa a si mesmo e aos outros atores sociais da prática social de lutar pela independência de Juazeiro. A segunda indaga como ele constrói, para si e para os outros atores, seus papéis sociais. A terceira e quarta inquirem como os conceitos de ideologia e de hegemonia ajudam na fase explicativa da análise. A última questão aborda os tipos de relações de poder que emergiram das análises anteriores. Para responder as perguntas, analisei quatro cartas, coletadas em Guimarães e Dumoulin (1983), escritas por Padre Cícero em 1910 e publicadas em O Rebate. As duas primeiras foram endereçadas ao Governador do Ceará, Cel. Nogueira Accioly (L1 e L2); e as outras duas, ao Prefeito de Crato, Cel. Antônio Luís (L3 e L4). As cartas foram segmentadas em orações, que foram analisadas em relação às categorias de transitividade, função discursiva, modo e modalidade. Os resultados de transitividade mostraram que duas macro-figuras surgiram a partir dos dados. A primeira é a do Padre Cícero como um ator político poderoso, evidenciada por papéis relevantes de transitividade, tais como Ator em processos materiais, por exemplo. A segunda mostra-o como um político conciliador, o que é percebido, por exemplo, no uso que ele faz de processos relacionais com a finalidade de forjar uma relação amigável com o Cel. Antônio Luís. Essas macrofiguras foram reforçadas pelos resultados oriundos da análise da função discursiva, do modo e da modalidade. Padre Cícero, ao usar pouca modalidade, interpreta seu papel social como um político poderoso, construindo seu mundo político como um lugar com pouco espaço para incertezas. Paralelamente a isso, sua imagem de político conciliador emerge quando ele se empenha para reforçar sua amizade com o Prefeito do Crato e mostrar disposição, em muitas ocasiões, para ajudar com o projeto de independência. Além disso, ele representa o Cel. Antônio Luís como igualmente podero, tal como evidenciado pela análise de transitividade de L3 e L4. Quanto ao Cel. Nogueira Accioly e a Juazeiro e/ou ao seu povo, Padre Cícero mantém o mesmo padrão passivo que os caracterizou ao longo das análises. Esses resultados foram confrontados com os conceitos de ideologia e hegemonia. Como resultado, o confronto mostrou a existência de três linhas hegemônicas e três relações de poder. Em seguida, as limitações do presente estudo foram analisadas e foram dadas sugestões para futuras pesquisas. Finalmente, duas implicações pedagógicas foram discutidas e um modelo esquemático para a análise do discurso político propriamente dito foi apresentado

Esta tese tem como proposta uma leitura de aspiração ensaística da correspondência entre os escritores Carlos Drummond de Andrade e Mário de Andrade durante o Modernismo, entre 1924 e 1929, com destaque para a afirmação da identidade do poeta brasileiro em sua relação com o nacionalismo. A correspondência, abordada como diálogo epistolar, é analisada cronologicamente, relacionando os temas propostos à produção artística dos escritores. A troca de opinião sobre originais dos próprios autores é um dos focos da análise do texto, em especial as cartas que envolvem a gênese do livro Alguma poesia, publicado por Carlos Drummond de Andrade em 1930. As cartas têm como antecedente o cuidado de si, oriundo da cultura greco-romana, exercido pelos antigos filósofos como um exercício espiritual e de reflexão sobre o cotidiano. Desse modo, a partir do convite epistolar de devotar-se ao Brasil feito por Mário, Carlos elabora poemas como respostas, em um diálogo que ganha permanência poéticaThis dissertation presents a reading of the correspondence between the writers Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Mario de Andrade from 1924 to 1929, during the Modernism period, highlighting the identity assertion from the Brazilian poet in relation to nationalism. The mentioned correspondence is approached as an epistolary dialogue and it is chronologically analised relating the topics of literary works of both writers. The exchange of opinions between the writers about their own original texts is one of the focus of the reading presented here, including commentaries about Alguma poesia, published in 1930 by Carlos Drummond de Andrade. The letters are associated by the author of this text to the idea of "the care of the self", proposed by Michel Foucault. The writers epistolary dialogue is determined and associated to their literary production especially considering the poetic work. Therefore from the epistolary invitation done by Mario to devote himself to Brazil, Carlos elaborated poems as answers. These answers remain in his poetry work

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação trata da formação de jovens literatos brasileiros, por meio das cartas trocadas por 42 deles com Machado de Assis e Mário de Andrade, as quais, somadas, compuseram um arquivo de 1444 documentos, cobrindo o período de 82 anos de comunicação epistolar. Valendo-nos das contribuições teóricas de Michel Foucault e de outros pensadores pós-estruturalistas, tomamos a educação operada pelas missivas como ocasião de uma experiência capaz não apenas de ordenar a escrita dos iniciantes conforme critérios literários específicos, mas também de incitar determinados modos de subjetivação atinentes a uma presumida vida literária. Tendo isso em vista, confrontamos diferentes correntes de estudos epistolográficos como os de crítica genética e também os que versam sobre a escrita de si , de modo a estabelecer um procedimento atento não ao processo criativo, este decorrente do par analítico autor/obra, mas às práticas conformadoras da relação entre o sujeito que escreve e os ditames instituintes da escrita literária, tal como esta é aqui compreendida. A análise do material epistolar foi levada a cabo com base em quatro eixos temáticos: 1) a relação entre mestria literária e crítica; 2) a importância dos grupos literários para a formação dos jovens escritores; 3) o embate dos aspirantes com uma suposta vida ideal de literato; 4) os debates em torno das noções de inspiração e de espontaneidade na produção literária. Assim, pudemos configurar um quadro diferencial entre uma mestria oitocentista, direcionada primordialmente ao desenvolvimento de uma técnica e de uma estética literárias específicas, e uma novecentista, para a qual o desenvolvimento técnico-estético dos discípulos não era condição suficiente para sua formação literária, fazendo-se necessária a transformação subjetiva dos escritores. Ademais, pudemos delimitar o papel dos grupos no estabelecimento de elos comuns entre os pares e na consequente divisão de escritores literários e não literários, bem como a constituição, no século XX, de uma relação ética com a escrita pautada na crítica contínua, dando lugar a uma escrita intransitiva, para além da pontualidade da própria obra. Após tal percurso, foinos possível vincular a derrocada do gesto educativo, a cargo da figura do mestre literato e atrelado ao cuidado com o outro, à potencialização de um caráter ensimesmado do trabalho escritural, doravante praticado em termos de uma narrativa de si edificante e sempre por se completar, redundando não somente no apagamento do mestre, mas também na perpetuação de uma formação por toda a vida.This dissertation addresses the apprenticeship of forty-two young Brazilian writers through letters exchanged with the writers Machado de Assis and Mário de Andrade, which, together compose a file of 1444 documents covering over eighty-two years of epistolary communication. Drawing on the theoretical contributions of Michel Foucault and others poststructuralist thinkers, we take the education transmitted through the missives as an occasion for an experience that not only organizes the writing of beginners according to specific literary criteria, but also incites certain forms of subjectivity relating to an alleged literary life. Considering this, we confront different lines of epistolographical studies, such as genetic criticism, and those who deal with self writing, in order to establish a procedure focused not on the creative process the result of the analytical pair author/work but on practices that form the relationship between he who writes and the instituting precepts of literary writing, as it is here understood. The analysis of the epistolary material was carried out based on four themes: 1) the relationship between literary mastery and criticism; 2) the importance of literary groups for the formation of young writers; 3) the struggle of novice writers with an ideal vision of life as a writer; 4) the debates around the notions of inspiration and spontaneity in writing. Thus, we were able to portray a picture that differentiates the eighteenth-century mastery, directed primarily at the development of a technique and a specific literary aesthetics, and a nineteenth-century mastery, for which the technical and aesthetic development of the disciples was not sufficient for their literary basis, without the subjective transformation of the writer. Furthermore, we defined the role of groups in establishing common links among peers and the consequent division between literary and non-literary writers, as well as the constitution, in the twentieth century, of an ethical relationship to writing guided by the continuous criticism, giving way to intransitive writing, beyond the time of the work itself. Following this route, we were able to connect the collapse of the educational gesture, where the literary master is in charge and vested in the care of the other, to the empowerment of a brooding character in the writing process, now practiced in terms of a never ending uplifting narrative of the self, resulting not only in the removal of the master role, but also in the perpetuation of a lifelong education.

Full textAbstract:
Letter to So-and-So from Wherever is a collection of poems, perhaps even a “poem-cycle,” initially inspired by the epistolary poems of Richard Hugo. This dissertation is essentially the author’s second full-length poetry manuscript, and consists of more of a single “project” than the author’s first collection, which was published in 2007. These poems here are rooted in concrete imagery, metaphor, hyperbole, irony, and voice. The style is influenced in part by Beat Generation writers Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, and to some extent Charles Bukowski.

Full textAbstract:
Notre travail décrit le processus de l'interaction épistolaire au XVIIIe siècle à travers l'étude des trois exemples de dialogues épistolaires, à savoir : Voltaire & Mme du Deffand, Rousseau & Malesherbes et enfin Benjamin Constant &Isabelle de Charrière. Nous comprenons par l'interaction épistolaire, le va-et-vient entre les deux correspondants, leur influence mutuelle, leurs échanges de rôles. La question principale qui se pose ici est la suivante : quel est l'intérêt, pour les deux correspondants, de cet échange épistolaire dans la durée? Dans quel objectif les deux épistoliers s'écrivent-ils l'un à l'autre ? Comment un dialogue épistolaire peut-il modifier l'image de l'autre, la structure et les dispositions morales ? Le XVIIIe siècle a connu en fait un foisonnement épistolaire grâce à l'épanouissement de la pensée philosophique et des Lumières. On avait le goût de l'échange épistolaire qui touche tous les sujets de la vie, surtout entreamis. Ainsi se construisent plusieurs commerces épistolaires, dont certains se développent en réseaux. Pour Voltaire et Madame Du Deffand, leur commerce épistolaire suit un rythme binaire, le plus souvent harmonieux, mais parfois" syncopé ", sous la forme d'un dialogue philosophique éblouissant jusqu'à la disparition de Voltaire. Dans ce dialogue,nous découvrons au fil des jours beaucoup d'idées et de thèmes qui nous informent excellemment sur toute une époque.La correspondance de Rousseau et de Malesherbes nous renseigne sur des détails infimes liés aux problèmes de la publication des oeuvres et à la censure, sans oublier le côté personnel de leur amitié, mais elle se fonde plutôt sur une sorte de désir de loyauté et une volonté de clairvoyance dans l'échange des secrets, caractéristiques essentielles desconfessions auxquelles Rousseau nous a habitués. Quant à Benjamin Constant et Isabelle de Charrière, leur dialogue,malgré leur écart d'âge, semble très intéressant dans son contenu. Si Constant se plaît à décrire à Isabelle de Charrière les circonstances de sa vie de façon filiale, un intérêt, une passion soutenue se fait jour dans cette correspondance.

This dissertation comprises two parts: Part I, which discusses use of second person pronoun in contemporary American poetry; and Part II, The Museum of Coming Apart, which is a collection of poems. As confessional verse became a dominant mode in American poetry in the late 1950s and early 60s, so too did the use of the first-person pronoun. Due in part to the excesses of later confessionalism, however, many contemporary poets hesitate to use first person for fear that their work might be read as autobiography. The poetry of the 1990s and early 2000s has thus been characterized by distance, dissociation, and fracture as poets attempt to remove themselves from the overtly emotional and intimate style of the confessionals. However, other contemporary poets have sought to straddle the line between the earnestness and linearity of confessionalism and the intellectually playful yet emotionally detached poetry of the moment. One method for striking this balance is to employ the second person pronoun. Because "you" in English is ambiguous, it allows the poet to toy with the level of distance in a poem and create evolving relationships between the speaker and reader. Through the analysis of poems by C. Dale Young, Paul Guest, Richard Hugo, Nick Flynn, Carrie St. George Comer, and Moira Egan, this essay examines five common ways second person is employed in contemporary American poetry-the use of "you" in reference to a specific individual, the epistolary form, the direct address to the reader, the imperative voice, and the use of "you" as a substitute for "I"-and the ways that the second-person pronoun allows these poems to take the best of both the confessional and dissociative modes.

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise da correspondência de Caio Fernando Abreu pelo viés literário, a partir de um conjunto de 77 missivas reunidas na coletânea Cartas, organizada por Italo Moriconi em 2002. A partir do ponto de vista de alguns teóricos do gênero epistolar, como Jelena Jovicic, Marie-Claire Grassi, Brigitte Diaz, Geneviève Haroche-Bouzinac e Vincent Kaufmann, analisa-se, em algumas cartas endereçadas a uma variedade de destinatários – como familiares e amigos, em sua maioria do universo literário – , de que maneira a experiência pessoal e a experiência literária, nas cartas do escritor gaúcho, realizam-se concomitantemente. A fim de se demonstrar de que forma a correspondência do autor constitui uma faceta de sua produção literária, investiga-se, primeiramente, a construção da identidade de escritor a partir do discurso epistolar, considerado não como locus da verdade, mas como um texto ficcional, no qual o epistológrafo lança mão de estratégias capazes de criar uma “verdade simulada”, conferindo maior verossimilhança a seu discurso. Na sequência, com o respaldo das teorias de Mikhail Bakhtin e José Luiz Fiorin, são analisadas as diferentes personae que o escritor constrói a partir das cartas – do filho, do amigo, do escritor, do amante – , determinadas sobretudo pelo destinatário, que faz com que o epistológrafo apresente variações temáticas e formais, assumindo, assim, diferentes máscaras sociais. Após a análise da constituição da identidade do escritor e de seus diferentes éthe discursivos, analisa-se, com base nas ideias de Vincent Kaufmann, de que maneira as correspondências situam-se num terreno fronteiriço, entre o homem e a obra, priorizando, em vez da comunicação, o afastamento, graças ao qual a obra pode acontecer. Empreende-se, na sequência, uma análise voltada para o conteúdo do discurso das cartas, com o objetivo de demonstrar como o texto epistolar possui grande valor na criação dos parâmetros de uma identidade artística, no acompanhamento de uma obra em suas várias etapas, da ideia à recepção pelo público, na constituição de uma rede epistolar que envolve diferentes figuras do universo literário, de escritores a editores, e no exercício de uma crítica literária, paralela à crítica institucionalizada, como ressalta T. S. Eliot em seus ensaios. Em seguida, tendo como ponto de partida a concepção formalista de literatura, com base sobretudo nas ideias de Roland Barthes e de Roman Jakobson, investiga-se, de um lado, de que forma, em suas cartas, o autor distancia-se do discurso corrente, por meio de operações linguísticas, sintáticas e estilísticas, e, de outro, de que maneira incorpora traços de outros gêneros, como a resenha crítica, a crônica e o monólogo. Por fim, demonstra-se como, articulando elementos aparentemente opostos – da conversação cotidiana e da linguagem literária – , o autor cria uma poética do prosaico epistolar. A partir desses aspectos, este trabalho distancia-se da abordagem desenvolvida com base nos textos epistolares do autor até o momento – centrada, sobretudo, em seu valor histórico, biográfico ou paratextual – e, tratando as cartas com autonomia, demonstra o valor literário, tanto em termos conteudísticos quanto formais, desses documentos tão heterogêneos.
This paper presents an analysis of Caio Fernando Abreu’s correspondence through the literary bias, based on a set of 77 missives gathered in the collection entitled Cartas (Letters), organized by Italo Moriconi in 2002. From the point of view of some theorists of the epistolary genre, such as Jelena Jovicic, Marie-Claire Grassi, Brigitte Diaz, Geneviève Haroche-Bouzinac and Vincent Kaufmann, one analyzes, in some letters addressed to a variety of recipients - such as family and friends, mostly from the literary universe – how both personal and literary experiences, in the letters of the Brazilian writer, take place concomitantly. In order to demonstrate how the correspondence of the author constitutes a facet of his literary production, one first investigates the construction of the writer’s identity from the epistolary discourse, considered not as locus of Truth, but as a fictional text, in which the epistolography writer uses strategies capable of creating a "simulated truth", providing a greater likelihood to his discourse. Next, with the support of the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin and José Luiz Fiorin, the different personae that the writer constructs from the letters are analyzed – the one of the son, the friend, the writer, the lover –, determined mainly by the recipient, who makes the epistolography writer present thematic and formal variations, thus assuming different social masks. After analyzing the constitution of the writer's identity and his different discoursive éthe, one analyzes, based on Vincent Kaufmann's ideas, how the correspondences are located on a frontier ground between the man and the work, prioritizing, instead of communication, distance, thanks to which the work can happen. An analysis of the content in the discourse of the letters is then carried out, with the purpose of demonstrating how the epistolary text has great value in the creation of the parameters of an artistic identity, in the following of a work in its various stages, from the idea to the reception by the public, in the constitution of an epistolary network that involves different figures from the literary universe, from writers to editors, and in the exercise of a literary criticism, parallel to institutionalized criticism, as T.S. Eliot emphasizes in his essays. Then, starting with the formalist conception of literature, based mainly on the ideas of Roland Barthes and Roman Jakobson, one investigates, on the one hand, how, in his letters, the author distances himself from the current discourse, through linguistic, syntactic and stylistic operations, and, on the other hand, how he incorporates traits of other genres, such as critical reviews, chronicles and monologues. Finally, it is shown how, by articulating apparently opposing elements – of everyday conversation and literary language – the author creates a poetics of the epistolary prosaicness. Based on these aspects, this work distances itself from the approach developed from the author’s epistolary texts up to the present – which focuses, above all, on its historical, biographical or paratextual value –, and by treating the letters with autonomy, demonstrates the literary value, both in terms of content and form, of such heterogeneous documents.

Ce travail a le but de discuter et d'analyser les deux textes épistolaires de Nancy Huston: À l'amour comme à la guerre (1984) et Lettres parisiennes (1986). Les deux livres sont écrits dans des moments différents de la vie de l'auteure et présentent des thématiques différenciées. Les deux volumes se constituent en tant qu'un échange de lettres avec deux correspondants: Sam Kinser et Leïla Sebbar, respectivement. L'analyse présente dans ce mémoire est divisée en trois moments. Dans le premier, nous examinons l'évolution de la lettre le long du temps.

Después de haber conocido a un gran número de viajeros del siglo XIX, nos pareció interesante estudiar a Prosper Mérimée, a Joséphine de Brinckmann y a Albert Edelfelt. Al primero, por ser un conocido autor francés, y por ende, sumamente estudiado en varias de las clasificaciones que conocimos; a Mme. de Brinckmann, por pertenecer a una minoría femenina entre la abundante masa de viajeros de la época; y a Albert Edelfelt, por provenir de un país lejano, Finlandia, y porque apenas aparece mencionado en los estudios de viajeros por el sur de España de ese tiempo. Intentamos con esta elección, evitar cualquier tipo de categorización, y comenzar nuestro estudio con un acercamiento individual respecto a cada obra. Aún así, no pudimos desprendernos de algunas coincidencias entre los tres viajeros, como que todos ellos eran franceses o estaban sumamente ligados a Francia, como el caso de Edelfelt; además, los tres vivieron en un período de la historia europea, en que imperaba un cierto “estado de ánimo” que todos compartieron en diferentes grados: el Romanticismo. Por último, estos tres autores expresaron sus ideas en una serie de cartas. Por lo tanto, nuestros viajeros se enfrentarían al mundo, y expresarían éste, desde una perspectiva más o menos común. De allí, entonces, el título de esta investigación, el cual no se pudo librar de una de las tantas clasificaciones; en este caso: la de “Viajeros románticos del siglo XIX”.

Ce travail a pour but de réhabiliter la correspondance du jésuite portugais Antônio Vieira Ravasco, connu dans les annales de la Littérature brésilienne et portugaise comme le Père Antônio Vieira. Figure emblématique de la lusophonie, Vieira vécut en Amérique Portugaise, actuellemente territoire du Brésil, au cours du dix-septième siècle. C’est justement dans cette imprévisible Amérique, le Brésil-colonie, que l’exilé Vieira écrivit la majorité de sa correspondance et de son oeuvre, pratiquant non pas une littérature portugaise ou brésilienne à proprement parler, mais plutôt une littérature déterritorialisée, une littérature luso-brésilienne écrite dans un entre-deux-mondes. La lettre vieirienne est une cartographie du paysage géographique et textuel de l’auteur, d’un Brésil en formation, d’une culture en gestation dont l’unité naît paradoxalemente sous le signe de la diversité. Les lettres se configurent comme textes fondateurs de notre culture même si elles contribuèrent à la formation de l’imaginaire national.Este trabalho tem como objetivo reabilitar a correspondência do jesuíta português Antônio Vieira Ravasco, conhecido nos anais das Literaturas Brasileira e Portuguesa como Padre Antônio Vieira. Figura emblemática da lusofonia, Vieira viveu na América Portuguesa, atual território do Brasil, durante o século XVII. É justamente nessa imprevisível América Portuguesa, nesse Brasil-colônia, que o “exilado” Vieira escreveu grande parte da sua correspondência e da sua obra praticando não uma literatura portuguesa ou brasileira propriamente dita, mas uma literatura portuguesa desterritorializada, uma literatura lusobrasileira escrita no intervalo de dois mundos. A carta vieiriana é uma cartografia da paisagem geográfica e textual do autor, de uma cultura em gestação, cuja unidade nasce, paradoxalmente, sob o signo da diversidade. As cartas configuram-se como textos fundadores da nossa cultura, conquanto tenham contribuído para a formação do imaginário nacional.
This study aims at recovering correspondence written by the Portuguese Jesuit Antônio Vieira Ravasco, known in Brazilian and Portuguese annals as Father Antônio Vieira. An emblematic symbol of the Portuguese language, the priest lived in the Portuguese America, where nowadays lies the territory of Brazil during the seventeenth century .It is precisely in this unpredictable Portuguese America, in this Colonial Brazil where, as an “exile”, Vieira wrote most of his letters and works, producing a literature that was neither Portuguese nor Brazilian, but a deterritorialized Portuguese Literature – a Portuguese-Brazilian literature, written between two worlds. Vieirian epistolography comprises a cartography depicting the author’s geographic and textual scenery, as well as a culture that was still in bloom and whose unity rose paradoxically under the sign of diversity. These letters are the founding texts of the Brazilian culture, once they have contributed to the development of a national imaginary.

El presente informe de seminario de grado se instala en el contexto de la Ilustración europea, específicamente, en Francia. Desde este punto se inicia una travesía, la cual oscila entre dos aspectos esenciales, por un lado, la centralidad y, por otro, la marginalidad para poder dar a conocer que la Ilustración, como un fenómeno histórico cultural, pero por sobre todo discursivo, se erige desde un dialogismo y de la conjugación de las diferentes voces que pululan en dicha sociedad. Ver a la Ilustración europea desde estos parámetros, implica comprenderla desde la inclusión discursiva y esto, a su vez, permite considerar a este proceso de manera integral.

Adapting literature to movies has been constantly studied since the Seventh Art became a forming part of the Western Culture. However, adapting implies choices that may encumber the structures upon which the novel is established. The simple fact that the novel has to be shorten to a limited quantity of minutes presents, on its own, decisions that, most of the times, dissatisfies both audience and critics that await for, while at the film mode, an authentic reproduction of the literary piece. Deeply criticized, the adaptation of The Color Purple is to be studied at this work. Constructed as an epistolary novel, Alice Walker’s best seller was published in 1982 and adapted by Steven Spielberg in 1985. By analyzing these corpora, the main goal here is to unveil the adaptation mechanisms that were used in the transformation process from the book to the movie. In order to study the adaptation, theorists like George Bluestone, Linda Hutcheon, Siobhan O’Flynn, Cristian Metz, Sarah Kozloff are of urgent importance. Elizabeth H. Cook, Amanda Gilroy, W.M. Verhoeven, Linda Kauffman, Mary Favret are taken as essential names in order to comprehend the structure of the epistolary novel.
A adaptação da literatura ao cinema tem sido estudada vigorosamente desde que a Sétima Arte se tornou parte integrante da cultura ocidental. No entanto, adaptar implica escolhas que podem desestabilizar os alicerces sob os quais o romance se estrutura. O simples fato de ter que reduzir um romance a uma quantidade delimitada de minutos já denota decisões que muitas vezes descontentam público e crítica que esperam, na narrativa fílmica, uma reprodução fidedigna da narrativa literária. Tendo essa perspectiva em mente, objetiva-se, aqui, estudar a adaptação de A Cor Púrpura (The Color Purple). Estruturado como um romance epistolar, o best seller de Alice Walker foi publicado em 1982 e adaptado por Steven Spielberg em 1985.Partindo da análise desse corpora, objetiva-se, neste trabalho, desvendar os mecanismos adaptativos que foram empregados no processo de transformação do romance ao filme. Para o estudo da adaptação, teóricos como George Bluestone, Linda Hutcheon, Siobhan O’Flynn, Cristian Metz, Sarah Kozloff são de suma importância Já Elizabeth H. Cook, Amanda Gilroy, W.M.

Previous issue date: 2011Em 1523, somente dos anos depois da conquista de Tenochtitlán, a capital do império Asteca, o Monarca espanhol Carlos V, atendendo aos reiterados pedidos de Fernão Cortés, decide enviar um grupo de Padres Franciscanos para dar início ao processo de evangelização das novas terras do futuro Vice-reino de Nova Espanha. Um ano depois outro grupo se juntará aos anteriores. Estes homens serão considerados os Doze Apóstolos de América e com eles começará um dos momentos mais importantes da colonização do continente americano. A presencia de religiosos servirá de intermediação entre os espanhois e os indígenas dentro do complexo mundo das relações derivadas do Processo de invençâo de América tal e como o denominou Edmundo O Gorman, e da consiguinte Colonização do imaginario nas palavras de Serge Gruzinski, Para os Franciscanos, objeto desta tese, será, ao mesmo tempo, uma oportunidade única de criar na vespera do fim do mundo, um paraíso terrenal onde toda uma classe de homens seria consagrada à pobreza evangélica. (Phelan, p.88) Registro excepcional desta presença, entre os anos 1523 e 1583, são as Cartas que este grupo de religiosos e outros que chegaram ao longo de século XVI enviaram a diferentes destinatários a um lado e ao outro do Atlantico. Esta literatura epistolar, emoldurada no humanismo e no erasmismo, nos permite analisar a historia nas suas entrelinhas dentro deste singular período da história de América sem muita interferência por parte da denominada história oficial . O corpus epistolar, assim como outros registros escritos da época, nos abrem uma porta bastante esclarecedora na nossa tentativa de entender como a sociedade Nova Hispana e como esse Novo Mondo idealizado pelos Franciscanos poderia ter sido erguido com a marca da nova oportunidade para a cristandade, porém foram muitos outros fatores que condicionaram os primeiros momentos da colonização e não permitiram que o sonho se materializasse

Das Buch berichtet von den Erfahrungen Inas in diesem Land, während sie als Hauslehrerin in den Provinzen von São Paulo und Rio de Janeiro arbeitete. Ihr Zeugnis kann als didaktisches Hilfsmittel dienen, indem es uns dabei hilft, die Geschichte der Erziehung in unserem Land zu verstehen. Überdies regt es Reflexionen über unseren heutigen Schulunterricht an. Obwohl ihren Berichten die Details und die Objektivität der Erzählungen männlicher Reisender fehlen, ermöglichen sie uns Einblicke in die soziale, wirtschaftliche und politische Wirklichkeit im Brasilien des späten 19. Jahrhunderts, d.h. in die Epoche der Proklamation der Republik und der Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Nur wenige Jahre vor der endgültigen Abschaffung im Jahre 1888 erkennt Ina von Binzer positive, aber auch negative Aspekte der Beendigung der Sklavenwirtschaft. Die deutsche Erzieherin schildert mit großer Genauigkeit das häusliche Umfeld der brasilianischen Familien und die Gesellschaft des Landes im weiteren Sinne. Dies erlaubt uns die Untersuchung der kulturellen Grenzüberschreitungen, d.h. die Konstruktion von Identitäten und Alteritäten bezüglich der deutschen und der brasilianischen Kultur.A educadora alemã Ina von Binzer emigrou para Brasil e aqui permaneceu entre os anos 1881 e 1884. Usando o pseudônimo de Ulla von Eck, ela escreve cartas que mais tarde são publicadas sob o título Os meus romanos: alegrias e tristezas de uma educadora alemã no Brasil. O livro relata as experiências que Ina viveu enquanto preceptora nos estados de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. Seus depoimentos servem como instrumento didático, possibilitando a compreensão da história da Educação em nosso país, além de trazer à luz reflexões sobre o nosso ensino atual. Embora os relatos da professora não sejam tão específicos e objetivos como os de um viajante, eles nos proporcionam nuançar registros de condições sociais, econômicas e políticas no Brasil do final do século XIX, isto é, no período da Proclamação da República e da Abolição da Escravatura. Em relação à iminente Abolição de 1888, Ina reconhece aspectos não só positivos, mas também negativos. A educadora alemã relata também com bastante precisão o ambiente doméstico das famílias brasileiras e a sociedade como um todo. Tais depoimentos permitem-nos uma investigação do funcionamento das transferências culturais, isto é, a construção de identidades e alteridades entre as culturas alemã e brasileira.

Previous issue date: 2007-10-16This essay is aimed to study Biografema as the only possible and basic element of the traditional biography, defined as a distinct biodiagram feature which is the biography of the Brazilian writer called Monteiro Lobato. The Chapter I deals with the Biografema concept and the biodiagram process since Roland Barthes conception, starting from the difference of the style and the writing of his displacements . It centralizes the subject of the writing that is not shown in the body and it is brought back by the benefit of the language-body. The Chapter II clarifies the Biografemática reading concept and its analogical relations on the textual practice. This feature can be seen in ¨A Barca¨ by Gleyre, and in ¨Memórias da Emília by Monteiro Lobato where the childhood and childlike concept is mentioned. In the Chapter III we discuss the epistolary and literary style for children which has been studied and interpreted by Biodiagramação where the memory and the oral roles emphasize Monteiro Lobato s linguistical work and new style. This new style is shown on metalinguistical references of A Barca by Gleyre, and the memorial references of Memórias da Emília . In the Conclusion we emphasize Lobato s valuable contribution through his work A Barca by Gleyre and Memórias da Emília that send us to the exceptional biographical text, the Creative Biography, developed through the author s life language and world conception which lead to a language and a literature design (view)
Esta dissertação analisa o biografema como um possível elemento unitário e básico da biografia tradicional, definido como traço distinto de um biodiagrama, que é a biografia em si, do escritor brasileiro Monteiro Lobato, apresentado em um córpus único e cronológico onde registra as marcas de sua oralidade, criando um discurso que o próprio autor denominou conversa em mangas de camisa. O Capítulo I trata do conceito de biografema e biodiagramação, a partir da concepção de Roland Barthes, da diferença que entremeia o estilo e a escritura e seus deslocamentos. Centraliza o sujeito da escrita ausente em seu corpo e resgatado pela fruição no corpo-linguagem. O Capítulo II aclara o conceito de leitura biografemática e de suas relações analógicas na prática textual, distinção caracterizada em A Barca de Gleyre e em Memórias da Emília de Monteiro Lobato e, nelas, os conceitos de infância e infantil. No Capítulo III tratamos do gênero epistolar e literário infantil, em estudo interpretativo pela biodiagramação. Nela, o papel da memória e da oralidade destaca o trabalho lingüístico e o ¨novo estilo¨ de Lobato. A prova deste estilo é apresentada nas remissivas metalingüísticas de A Barca de Gleyre e remissivas memorialistas de Memórias da Emília. Na conclusão, destaca-se a valiosa contribuição de Lobato, que por meio das obras A Barca de Gleyre e Memórias da Emília, remete-nos à singularidade do texto biográfico, a Biografia Criativa, revelada pela linguagem da vida do autor e sua concepção de mundo, traçando um panorama da língua e da literatura

Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção
do grau de Mestre em Estudos Portugueses – Estudos Literários.O objectivo principal deste trabalho é desenvolver uma análise comparativa entre três narrativas – uma novela epistolar, Carta de uma Desconhecida (Brief einer Unbekanneten, 1922) de Stefan Zweig, um romance diarístico, A Mulher Destruída (La Femme Rompue, 1967) de Simone de Beauvoir e um romance epistolar, És Meu! (2003) de Rita Ferro. Para tal, após uma introdução ao trabalho irá ser realizada uma contextualização históricoliterária dos autores através da descrição dos aspectos mais importantes da sua vida e criação literária, assim como pela análise da respectiva bibliografia; em seguida será feita uma descrição evolutiva e comparação teórica entre a epístola e o diário, confrontando estes dois géneros nas suas características e especificidades. Depois será realizada a análise dos textos, tendo em conta uma breve estrutura narrativa, a caracterização das personagens, os espaços e os tempos, os modos e as vozes e as marcas dos discursos; serão aprofundados temas comuns abordados nas obras: a morte – suicídio e eutanásia; o amor; o conceito de família. O desenvolvimento da crise das personagens e o modo como estas se expressam na superfície textual servirá para demonstrar a construção da subjectividade nas obras; por outro lado, as marcas emocionais e a forma como as protagonistas as representam, servirá para revelar um sentir feminino em Stefan Zweig, Simone de Beauvoir e Rita Ferro.

O propósito desta dissertação é analisar as várias funções exercidas pelo discurso epistolar, em especial as cartas de amor, nas novelas camilianas do período de 1860 a 1870, de cujo conjunto destacamos Amor de Perdição (1861), Memórias de Guilherme do Amaral (1863), Agulha em Palheiro (1863) e A Sereia (1865). Nestas obras, as cartas têm presença bastante relevante, ligada à forma e, por conseguinte, à elaboração de conceitos e significados de dimensão social e íntima. Muito em voga à época, as cartas se fazem presentes em outros romances oitocentistas: em Eurico, o Presbítero (de Herculano), Viagens na Minha Terra (de Garrett) e O Primo Basílio (de Eça de Queirós). As cartas trocadas pelos casais enamorados revelam muito mais do que uma história de amor contrariado, que seguiria os moldes da escola romântica. Retratam antes de tudo os anseios pessoais, os conflitos e as tensões sociais do Portugal do século XIX. O discurso epistolar acaba sendo um modo de dar dimensão intimista aos dramas maiores da sociedade. Ao olhar perspicaz, inquieto e, até mesmo, desesperançado de Camilo Castelo Branco, que critica os valores da sociedade na qual está inserido, sem muitas das vezes avistar uma saída possível, as cartas tornam-se um modo de trazer novas vozes ao romance. Assim, Camilo fala pelos narradores, pelos seus personagens em diálogo, mas também por aquilo que naquele mundo não se diz, mas se escreve (nas cartas)The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the several functions exercised by the epistolary discourse, specially the love letters, in the camilian novels in the period of 1860 to 1870, from what collection we point out Amor de Perdição (1861), Memórias de Guilherme do Amaral (1863), Agulha em Palheiro (1863) e A Sereia (1865). In these works, the letters have a very strong presence, linked to the shape and, in consequence, the elaboration of concepts and meanings of social and intimate dimension. Very popular in that time, the letters are present at another eighties romances: at Eurico, o Presbítero (de Herculano), Viagens na Minha Terra (de Garrett) and O Primo Basílio (de Eça de Queirós).The letters changed by the couples in love reveals much more than one annoyed love story which would follow the patterns of the romantic school. They portray before all the personal desires, conflicts and social tensions lived in Portugal of 19th century. The epistolary discourse is a manner of giving an intimate dimension for the main dramas of the society. To the perceptive, anxious and, unhopeful look of Camilo Castelo Branco, that criticizes the values of the society in which he is inserted, many times without seeing a possible solution, the letters become a way to bring new voices to the romance. Therefore, Camilo speaks for the narrators, for his characters in dialogue, but also for what in that world is not said, but it is written (in the letters)

Esta dissertação analisa as reflexões sobre tradução de Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837) presentes no Epistolario (1807-1837) e no Zibaldone di Pensieri (1817-1832), no período de 1817 a 1832 por meio de um estudo comparativo. O primeiro capítulo traz uma breve contextualização do cenário histórico-literário do século XIX, que evidencia os acontecimentos que geraram o intenso debate entre Classicistas e Românticos, e contempla o percurso do autor de Recanati nessa discussão. O segundo capítulo aborda o Epistolario e o Zibaldone, à luz dos gêneros literários, e evidencia a importância deles no conjunto da obra do autor de Recanati. O terceiro capítulo apresenta uma análise dos principais aspectos sobre tradução discutidos pelo autor italiano, dos quais destacam-se: a tradução como exercício para se tornar um importante escritor; a importância da retradução dos Clássicos; a questão da (in)intraduzibilidade; a fidelidade ao original e a questão da língua no que diz respeito ao estilo, ao caráter e à adaptabilidade na tradução.
