Abstract:
O romance Tudo se ilumina, de Jonathan Safran Foer, foi publicado originalmente em inglês em 2002 com o título Everything is Illuminated e no Brasil, em português, em 2005. A narrativa evidencia uma forma contemporânea de ficção sobre a Shoah em que ficção e realidade se misturam a partir da recriação de uma viagem em busca da história dos antepassados do escritor para um pequeno shtetl na Ucrânia. Marcada pela fragmentação, pela multiplicidade de estilos de expressão e de pensar, a narrativa apresenta-se de forma lacunar e polissêmica, o que no romance, atinge seu ápice quando da configuração de parte do texto em listas e verbetes.

Abstract:
Tendo em vista a importância da preservação da memória familiar e cultural para a comunidade judaica, este artigo pretende analisar a obra Everything is Illuminated, de Jonathan Safran Foer, a partir da busca pela memória familiar empreendida pelo protagonista. A obra, que traz o autor também como personagem, relata a viagem de Foer até a Ucrânia para resgatar a história de seu avô antes de ele fugir para os EUA durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Visto que a obra utiliza a biografia e diversos discursos (relatos) em sua construção, visa-se desconstruir o binarismo discurso ficcional x não ficcional. Além disso, tendo em vista esses elementos e as fronteiras movediças da identidade que aparecem no livro, pretende-se analisar, por meio do conceito de nomadismo, o resgate da memória como um dos fatores determinantes na construção identitária.

Abstract:
Not long after the release of his first novel, Everything is Illuminated, critics and authors alike began showering Jonathan Safran Foer with both praise and disparagement for his postmodern style. Yet, this large body of criticism ignores the theoretical work taking place within Foer's fiction. This thesis attempts to fill this gap by highlighting specific aspects of Foer's theoretical work as it relates to the creation of meaning in a text and to explore what this work might imply for the broader literary community. Much of Foer's work toys with the capacity of language to express meaning, indulging in the playfulness of language throughout his work to highlight the place where at written language blurs the line between word and flesh, or language and experience. In this playfulness, Foer seems to assert that meaning is created in the space between language and experience through the act of metaphor. This theory of metaphor places the individual, the author, and the critic all in a creative position and the narrative content of Foer's works examines how this creative power is used by individuals to create a world of meaning out of experiences that seem to have none. In this way, Foer argues that the creative act of metaphor is a redemptive act—an act of saving one's self from the void. Such a conclusion can be applied to all who use the word to create, particularly authors and critics, wherein the creative act as well as the interpretive act become acts of redemption.

Resumo: Everything is Illuminated, romance de 2003 de Jonathan Safran Foer, nasce do desejo de construção de uma "verdade experimental" a partir da distância - temporal e geográfica - dos acontecimentos da Segunda Guerra, que se expressa por meio da reconstrução da memória na literatura a partir de fragmentos do passado. Esta tese pretende confirmar a hipótese de que o romance transcende o status de narrativa sobre a Shoá para atingir uma esfera autorreflexiva, pois parte do evento para expandir-se aos efeitos que produz no presente. Revela a reação de Jonathan, um representante da terceira geração de sobreviventes, à perpetuação da memória da Guerra como parte de uma tradição maior, a de registro e manutenção da memória coletiva, novamente lembrando o duplo papel da linguagem, o de alterar a vida e se deixar alterar por ela. Nesse contexto, a escrita prova-se parte de uma ideia de pertencimento, e inscreve-se na vida de Jonathan como o ato que cimenta a conexão, já que a tradição judaica está presente, mas a serviço da cultura das novas gerações, que se negam a esquecer a interrupção da Guerra em suas histórias familiares, mas que não podem nem desejam repeti-la ipsis litteris. Não há mais o mundo judeu que existia antes da Shoá, por isso é imperativo encontrar novas formas para narrar esse passado sob o prisma daqueles que não viveram o evento, mas que herdam sua memória e, por extensão, seus traumas e que vivem, portanto, o passado de Guerra indiretamente. Essa geração, porém, não pretende reconstruir o passado ou representar uma pretensa verdade sobre a Shoá na literatura; quer manter o valor intrínseco da sobrevivência e, principalmente, o da resistência. Resistência da memória e da história sobre a passagem do tempo, do apagamento e do distanciamento. Desta forma, este trabalho propõe uma investigação das ferramentas literárias de que Everything is Illuminated lança mão para colmatar a lacuna temporal e geográfica entre o sujeito que escreve e o objeto de sua escrita. Palavras-chave: memória, Shoá, Literatura do Holocausto, Jonathan Safran Foer.
Abstract: Everything is Illuminated, a 2003 novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, expresses the desire to build an "experiential truth'" from the temporal and geographical distance of the events of World War II, which is expressed through the reconstruction of memory in literature from fragments of the past. This work intends to confirm the hypothesis that the novel transcends narrative status on the Shoah to attain a self-reflexive sphere, since it departs from the event to expand to the effects it produces in the present. It reveals the reaction of Jonathan, a representative of the third generation of survivors, to the perpetuation remembering the War as part of a larger tradition of recording and maintaining collective memory. This process recalls the dual role of language, that is, modifies life and allows it to modify itself. In this context, writing proves to be part of an idea of belonging, and is inscribed in Jonathan's life as the act that cemented the connection. According to this premise, the Jewish tradition is present, but at the service of the culture of the new generations, who refuse to forget the interruption of the War in their family histories - that, on their turn, cannot and do not wish to repeat it ipsis litteris. There is no longer the Jewish world that existed before the Shoah, so it is imperative to find new ways to narrate the past under the prism of those who did not live the event, but have inherited their memory and, by extension, their traumas and who live, therefore, the past of War indirectly. This generation, however, does not intend to reconstruct the past or represent a pretended truth about the Shoah in literature; they want to maintain the intrinsic value of survival, and especially that of resistance. Resistance of memory and history over the passage of time, obliteration and detachment. Therefore, this work proposes an investigation of the literary tools by which Everything is Illuminated aims to bridge the temporal and geographical gap between the subject who writes and the object of his/her writing. Key-words: memory, Shoah, Holocaust Literature, Jonathan Safran Foer.

This thesis studies the works of Brazilian author Valêncio Xavier and North American author Jonathan Safran Foer, both of which, through narratives composed by newspaper articles, drawings, photographs, maps, flip books and by a peculiar textual disposition, transcend the traditional notion of romance mostly by incorporating other artistic manifestations, which allows them to be denominated as hybrid and interartistic narratives. Discussing these authors’ works consists on using alternative and current theories in order to analyze the intersection between word and image. Such contemporary and profane narratives, if they are considered through the concepts of Giorgio Agambem, subvert and illuminate the book as object and support, restoring the playful aspect of reading and the pleasure of the unexpected in each page. Hence, the aforementioned texts are analyzed as representatives of a narrative that is contemporary because it profanes themes and supports and, consequently, analyzed through questions related to visual narratives and interartistic poetics, to fictional games and intertextual collage and still, and through the reflection on the themes shared by them: the re-elaboration of memory as well as the joys and sorrows of childhood and old age. The narratives Minha mãe morrendo e o menino mentido, Meu sétimo dia: uma novella rébus, “Rremembranças de menina de rua morta nua”, “Maciste no inferno” and “Mistério mágico”, written by Valêncio Xavier and the novels Everything is illuminated and Extremely loud & incredibly close, the unclassifiable Tree of Codes and the short story “If the Aging Magician Should Begin to Believe”, by Jonathan Safran Foer are discussed in order to highlight their similarities in terms of formal composition strategies. Just as much as Valêncio Xavier and Jonathan Safran Foer profane themes and supports, the present thesis also aims to subvert the subjectile it deals with in a certain way, playing and interacting with the works and authors, since, as Roland Barthes once said, there’s no other way of dealing with authors and their works other than writing with them.
Esta tese estuda as obras do autor brasileiro Valêncio Xavier e do autor estadunidense Jonathan Safran Foer, que, a partir de narrativas compostas por artigos de jornal, desenhos, fotografias, mapas, flip books e por uma disposição textual peculiar ultrapassam a concepção tradicional do que se entende como romance ao incorporarem, sobretudo, outras manifestações artísticas, o que permite que sejam denominadas como narrativas híbridas e interartísticas. Discutir as obras de Valêncio Xavier e as de Jonathan Safran Foer consiste na utilização de teorias tradicionais e contemporâneas para a análise da intersecção entre palavra e imagem. Tais narrativas contemporâneas e profanadoras, se pensadas a partir de conceitos de Giorgio Agamben, subvertem e iluminam o livro enquanto objeto e suporte, restituindo o aspecto lúdico à leitura e o prazer do inesperado a cada página. Desse modo, os textos desses escritores são analisados aqui como representantes de uma literatura que é contemporânea por ser profanadora de temas e de suportes e, consequentemente, analisadas a partir de questões relacionadas às narrativas visuais e às poéticas interartísticas, aos jogos ficcionais e da colagem intertextual e, ainda, a partir da reflexão sobre os temas que compartilham: a reelaboração da memória, as alegrias e tristezas infantis e senis. As narrativas Minha mãe morrendo e o menino mentido, Meu sétimo dia: uma novella rébus, “Rremembranças de menina de rua morta nua”, “Maciste no inferno” e “Mistério mágico”, de Valêncio Xavier, e os romances Everything is illuminated e Extremely loud & incredibly close, o inclassificável Tree of Codes e o conto “If the Aging Magician Should Begin to Believe”, de Jonathan Safran Foer, são discutidos a fim de se evidenciar as suas semelhanças nas estratégias formais de composição. Assim como Valêncio Xavier e Jonathan Safran Foer profanam temas e suportes, esta tese também objetiva subverter em certa medida o subjétil com que lida, jogando e dialogando com as obras e os autores estudados, pois, como afirma Roland Barthes, não há como se tratar de obras e de autores sem escrever com eles.

Abstract:
Cette étude propose d’explorer les œuvres de Jonathan Safran Foer, Daniel Mendelsohn, et Art Spiegelman, à travers la notion de trace, principe fondateur de l’esthétique et de l’éthique des écritures de l’après-Shoah. L’expérience lacunaire de ces « générations d’après » implique la présence d’une « postmémoire », dont le caractère « différé » sollicite le travail de l’imagination et informe la démarche créatrice de ces artistes et écrivains de l’après, qui reconstruisent le passé de leurs familles. Ces récits de la hantise sont marqués par une « mémoire trouée », et découlent souvent d’une rupture de la filiation, donc d’une défaillance de la transmission. Engagés dans une quête de savoir, narrateurs et protagonistes interrogent l’événement à partir de traces matérielles, ainsi qu’au travers de retours, réels et imaginaires, sur les lieux de l’origine. Ces récits sont composés de matériaux hétérogènes qui créent des ruptures visuelles, et sont informés par divers dérèglements temporels : désordres, disruptions chronologiques, latence et répétition – tous symptomatiques de l’après-coup du trauma. Ces textes postmémoriels posent enfin la question de l’éthique de la représentation. Performativité de la langue, fictionnalisation de l’Histoire, et enjeux de la transmission sont au cœur de ces œuvres en devenir, et interrogent l’éthique de la responsabilité de leurs auteurs, entre passation et travail de deuil
This study explores the works of Jonathan Safran Foer, Daniel Mendelsohn, and Art Spiegelman through the notion of trace, the founding principle of the aesthetics and ethics of post-Holocaust writing. The incomplete knowledge of these “post-Holocaust generations” implies the presence of a “postmemory”, the “deferred” nature of which requires the imagination to be put to work and informs the creative approach of these post-Holocaust artists and writers, reconstructing their family’s past. These haunting narratives are marked by a “memory shot through with holes” and are often the result of a break in the bond of filiation, and therefore a hiatus of transmission. Having embarked on a quest for knowledge, narrators and protagonists examine the event through material traces, as well as real or imaginary returns to their places of origin. These narratives are made up of heterogeneous elements which create visual ruptures and are informed by various temporal disruptions: disorders, chronological breaks, latency and repetition – all symptomatic of the deferred action of trauma. Finally, these postmemorial texts raise the issue of the ethics of representation. The performativity of language, the fictionalization of History, and the issue of transmission are at the heart of these works in the making, and ethically question their authors’ responsibility, between transfer and the work of mourning

Full text
Abstract:
Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close stands out from the nationalistic-toned American “9/11 novels”. It depicts the story of a young boy and his grandparents who are left with the aftermath of losing a loved one in the attack on the twin towers. However, the complexity of the three main characters and the depth of their individual and common traumas make the novel go beyond the usual nationalistic 9/11 narrative and focus on the personal and, consequently, the national trauma.  This essay analyses the possibility of coping with and recovering from trauma through communication. Dominick LaCapra’s trauma theory notions of “working through” and “acting out”, as well as other traumatic memory research highlight the necessity of utterance in order to overcome trauma and to attempt an existence beyond it. In the instance of the three traumatized characters of the novel, the confessional language is entangled, broken and sometimes muted. This makes the recovery difficult in the case of the grandparents, almost impossible for the character of Grandpa. When it comes to the young boy, Oskar Schell, a more successful communication seems to open up the possibility of mental healing. These personal traumas are a reflection of a broader American trauma where an obsessive “rememoration” of the September 11 events and one-sided, revenge loaded public discourse do not seem to facilitate the national healing process. On all these levels, personal and community, the need and the difficult attempt to communicate the trauma of 9/11 does not necessarily grant recovery from it, but it facilitates a desired “working though” process.

Este trabalho investiga as estratégias narrativas utilizadas por Jonathan Safran Foer no romance Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2005), a fim de verificar como o autor avalia o episódio dos ataques terroristas de 11 de setembro. A tragédia representa o início de um novo período da História dos Estados Unidos e tem sido tema de publicações em diversas áreas. Este estudo examina, por meio da jornada empreendida pelo menino Oskar, de apenas nove anos, cujo pai foi vítima dos atentados, a forma como os acontecimentos do passado são transformados em fatos históricos relevantes, os sistemas que permitem a abordagem da História por meio de várias perspectivas, e a presença do trauma como elemento de ligação entre História e Literatura. Focalizando primordialmente o narrador, o pequeno Oskar, a análise perseguirá sua jornada em Nova York à procura de respostas para a morte de seu pai naquele dia catastrófico, tratado por Oskar como the worst day. Serão também analisados os usos de imagens, espaços em branco, as escritas com sobreposição e o diálogo com a tecnologia e mensagens codificadas, como SMS, que estão presentes no romance. A fundamentação teórica desta discussão será baseada em textos de McHale (1992), Lyotard (1990), Jameson (2007), Santiago (2002), Connor (2000), White (1994), Le Goff (2003), e Hutcheon (1991)
This thesis investigates the narrative strategies used by Jonathan Safran Foer in Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2005) in order to verify how the author evaluates the episode of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The tragedy is the beginning of a new period in the history of the United States and has been the subject of publications in several fields. This study examines, through the journey taken by the nine-year-old boy Oskar, whose father was a victim of the 9/11 attacks, how the events of the past are transformed into relevant historical facts, systems that allow the treatment of History through multiple perspectives, and the presence of trauma as a conection between History and Literature. Primarily focusing on the narrator, little Oskar, the analysis will pursue his journey in New York looking for answers to the death of his father on that catastrophic day, treated by Oskar as “the worst day”. The use of images, blanks, written with overlapping and dialogue with technology and coded messages such as SMS, which are present in the novel, will also be analyzed. The theoretical basis of this discussion includes texts by McHale (1992), Lyotard (1990), Jameson (2007), Santiago (2002), Connor (2000), White (1994), Le Goff (2003) and Hutcheon (1991)
