The following thesis investigates the role of hindsight and sexuality in The French Lieutenant’s Woman by John Fowles. In this instance I look closely at the two main characters of the novel, namely Charles Smithson and Sarah Woodruff, and I show the varying levels of freedom that each character displays in a Victorian world.

Resumo: O escritor francês Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) é comumente associado às Escolas realista e naturalista. Acreditamos, todavia, diante de sua abertura para todas as formas de fazer poético, que seu romance Bel-Ami (1885) apresenta características que permitem uma aproximação com a estética impressionista. Tal relação pode ser pensada a partir de alguns aspectos caros aos impressionistas, como o olhar e o ponto de vista subjetivo, os quais são projetados em um momento e de um determinado lugar. Nessa perspectiva, a ideia do movimento torna-se relevante, tendo em vista que as coisas mudam, transformam-se com o tempo e, por conseguinte, o modo de olhá-las. Como se trata de pontos de vista subjetivos, o que vemos é a apresentação de sensações e impressões, as quais monstram-se insuficientes para expressar o todo complexo que é o objeto, aliás, inapreensível. Na construção desse objeto, sua relação com as coisas que o circundam também deve ser levada em consideração, pois evidencia ainda mais sua complexidade. As cores, igualmente, correspondem a outra característica impressionista relevante. Acreditamos, pois, que é possível observar o mundo em Bel-Ami, a partir dessas questões, embora seja necessário o distanciamente para que se possa reconstruí-lo
Résumé: L'écrivain français Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) est généralement associé aux Ecoles réalistes et naturalistes. Nous croyons, cependant, devant son ouverture à toutes les formes du faire poétique, que son roman Bel-Ami (1885) présente des caractéristiques qui permettent de l'approcher de l'esthétique impressionniste. Cette relation peut être considérée par certains aspects chers aux impressionnistes comme le regard et le point de vue subjectif. De ce point de vue, l'idée de mouvement devient importante, em gardant à l'esprit que les choses changent et se transforment avec le temps et, par conséquent, la façon de les regarder. Comme ce sont des points de vue subjectifs, ce que nous voyons, c'est le résultat de sensations et d'impressions qui se révèlent insuffisantes pour exprimer la complexité de l'objet, en effet, insaisissable. Dans la construction de cet objet, sa relation avec les choses qui l'entourent doivent également être prise en considération, parce qu'elle manifeste encore plus sa complexité. Les couleurs correspondent aussi à une autre caractérististique impressionniste pertinente. Nous croyons donc qu'il est possible d'observer le monde dans Bel-Ami à partir de ces questions, malgré la nécessité d'une distance qui permette de le reconstruire

Resumo: Voyage à Rodrigues, Onitsha, L'Africain e Ritournelle de la faim são textos que acompanham as mutações da literatura francesa contemporânea, seguindo as tendências da escrita de si, mas, ao mesmo tempo, distanciando-se da linha tradicional da biografia e da autobiografia e assemelhando-se à nova forma recentemente surgida no universo autobiográfico, identificada como autoficção. Tendo em vista que a necessidade de compreensão de si mesmo exige uma interrogação concernente ao passado e à origem, nessas obras, os protagonistas empreendem uma viagem no tempo e no espaço rumo ao passado, a fim de narrar fatos da infância, da vida dos pais e antepassados ou de alguma pessoa que tenha importância em suas histórias de vida. Traduzindo um desejo geral da própria época corrente, a obra de Le Clézio confirma a obstinação dos escritores contemporâneos em encontrar a herança perdida e evitar a irremediável passagem do tempo. Esse retorno ao passado constitui uma partida cujo fim é a busca de si mesmo, uma vez que, no esforço de descobrir as origens, os heróis manifestam o desejo de recuperar a identidade perdida, de suprir uma falta e/ou de restituir a dignidade roubada a um dos membros de suas famílias. A viagem (real ou figurada) e a escrita tomam, por conseguinte, uma dimensão iniciática, já que se desvelam como produtos de uma busca identitária, assumindo o papel de mediadoras do autoconhecimento e de preservação da memória, devido à capacidade de resistir à passagem do tempo, fazend...

Résumé: Voyage à Rodrigues, Onitsha, L‟Africain et Ritournelle de la faim sont des récits qui accompagnent les mutations de la littérature française contemporaine en suivant les tendances de l'écriture de soi, mais en même temps s' éloignent de la voie traditionnelle de la biographie et de l'autobiographie et se rassemblent à la nouvelle forme née récemment dans l'univers autobiographique, identifiées comme «autofiction ». Étant donné que le besoin de la compréhension de soi-même exige une interrogation concernant le passé et l'origine, dans ces oeuvres les protagonistes entreprennent un voyage vers le passé dans le temps et dans l'espace, afin de raconter des faits de leur enfance, de la vie de leurs parents, de leurs ancêtres ou de n'importe quelle personne qui a de l'importance dans leurs histoires de vie. En traduisant une envie générale à la propre époque actuelle, l'oeuvre leclézienne va attester l'obstination des écrivains contemporains de retrouver l'héritage perdu et d'éviter l'irrémédiable passage du temps. Ce retour au passé va constituer un départ dont le but est la quête de soi-même, car dans l'effort de découvrir les origines, les héros expriment le désir de retrouver l'identité perdue, de pallier un manque ou de restituer la dignité enlevée à un des membres de leurs familles. Le voyage (réelle ou figurée) et l'écriture prennent, par conséquent, une dimension initiatique, puisqu'ils se montrent comme des produits d'une quête identitaire en jouant le rôle de médiateurs d...
