Full textWhether it deals with paintings and etchings or hieroglyphics, the novel is marked by a multiplicity of representations. Literary representation turns out to be under the rule of the principle of narcissism, which governs all the duplicates and mirroring effects in Melville fiction. The play of the writing allows the representation of the self according to a process which destroys the narcissistic plenitude of the "infans" subject but contributes at the same time to constitute the subject. But as a written mark, the letter is far from establishing a pre-determined relation with the object it refers to, and allows a fundamental indeterminacy. Such a conception contributes to the deconstruction of a traditional and theological vision of the production of the writing. The problem of representation cannot be separated from that of meaning and of the deciphering of sings. Moby-dick shows the process of the interpretation of an image or a text : meaning is not given, but has to be constructed by the interpret. In this sense Melville text can be considered as the representation of a linguistic system, in this case culioli's enunciative theory

Full textI skrivandet av Moby Dick eller valen så kom Herman Melville att både inspireras av och motsätta sig Ralph Waldo Emersons idéer. Genom en analys av huvudkaraktärerna i Moby Dick samt Emersons texter så är det tydligt att transcendentalism finns förkroppsligad i karaktäriseringen av romanens huvudkaraktärer. Jag argumenterar för att karaktärernas slutgiltiga öden i romanen uttrycker Melvilles kritik av Emersons idéer. Vidare så är skildringen av hav och land som en symbol för själen i Moby Dick en spegling av Emersons idealiserade förhållande mellan människa och natur. Emellertid den tvetydiga och fruktansvärda natur Melville skapar visar på bristfälligheten i Emersons romantiska ideal.

Full textThrough an analytical and interpretative study of Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick I intend to formulate and clarify the historical turning point of the American novel, specifically what is deemed the most radical effort of an American writer to bring a comprehensive study on society into novelistic form. In order to accomplish that, I reconsider some of the features of Moby-Dick that strongly appealed to the times. First the ideological crisis of the 1840s, when the equalitarian revolutionary ideals of the Independence were finally confronted by the consequences of the U.S. being fully compromised to the Industrial Revolution and the capitalistic worldwide system. This is a central issue in Redburn (1849) and White-Jacket (1850), both novels where some major features of Moby-Dick are anticipated and firstly tested. Second, I scrutinize the concept of frontier -- a national identity issue that can be traced back to the Puritan 17th century errand into the wilderness that is strongly attached in the age of Melville to the ideological making of American imperialism. Besides, it also has had a major role in the crystallization of culturally specific perspectives on property and the establishment of social classes. Finally, I reconsider the notions of technique and labor, directly implied in the whaling industry and in a more general way in the marching of American civilization towards the West, which has had a strong impact on the understanding of the social significance of free labor and its coexistence with slavery. With those things under consideration, and through the surmises of the Critical Theory and the Brazilian tradition of social and literary criticism as well, it is my aim to shed light on some esthetical features of the novel, particularly on the tragic structure (as opposed to the epic) that defines the career of Pequods Captain Ahab and his obsessive chasing of Moby Dick, and the constitution of a self-reflexive narrator, the survivor Ishmael, who recalls the past of the catastrophe in order to attack the social reproduction of its conditions in the present.

Full textA presente dissertação procura analisar Moby-Dick, de Herman Melville, e Walden, de Henry David Thoreau, narrativas que, em meados do século XIX, alertavam para a necessidade de preservar a natureza, num tempo em que os Estados Unidos da América começavam a explorar as potencialidades da revolução industrial. Afirmando-se, de certo modo, como profetas dos excessos que o homem viria a cometer na era pós-industrial, prenunciavam já os desastres ecológicos que atualmente conhecemos e que têm sido praticamente ignorados. Assim sendo, há todo o interesse em revisitar estes textos, visto terem teorizado, de uma forma literária, mas simples, muitos dos aspetos presentes no discurso da ecocrítica atual. Além disso, este estudo pretende demonstrar que é urgente o homem compreender que é moralmente inaceitável violar as leis da natureza. Para o seu próprio bem e de todo o universo, é imperioso que a respeite, tal como Melville e Thoreau prudentemente preconizaram.
This dissertation aims at analyzing Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick and Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, mid-nineteenth-century American narratives where both authors called attention to the need to preserve nature, at a time when the United States of America was beginning to explore – and possibly exploit – the potential promised by the industrial revolution. To a certain extent, they stood out as prophets of the excesses that man would commit in the post-industrial era, hence foreshadowing the ecological disasters that we have witnessed of late but, unfortunately, have practically ignored. Thus, there is much to be gained when revisiting these texts, since both voices theorized, in a literary, but simple way, many of the issues present in current environmental discourse. Furthermore, this study aims at demonstrating that it is urgent man finally realizes that it is morally unacceptable to violate the laws of nature. For both his own and the universe’s sake, it is imperative that human beings respect nature, as Melville and Thoreau wisely advocated.

Full textThis is a theoretical work on Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick and its relation with the anti-metaphysical philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche as found especially in Twilight of the Idols and On Truth and Lie in an Extramoral Sense. It is shown that the ontological nature of Moby-Dick, the novel, finds a partial answer in the notion of metaphysical impossibility developed by the German philosopher. In order to accomplish this goal, a systematization of Nietzsche’s thought was made, so that an interpretative approach of the literary text could be carried out emphasizing a dialogue with his philosophy, and, alternatively, Heidegger’s. In compliance with Iser, this study takes into consideration the fact that comprehension is achieved through interpretation and what the reader is able to perceive in the literary text, either reinforcing what is already given there, or searching for what is unformulated and non-verbalized in it.

Full textThis dissertation is a comparative study of the three french translations of moby-dick by melville: that by jean giono, lucien jacques and joan smith (1941), that by armel guerne (1954), and that by henriette guex-rolle (1970). The study of many examples is carried out from the point of view of both the english-speaking and the french-speaking reader. The aim is to show the general tendency of each text, to point out some processes significantly changing the experience of the reader of the translation and to assess the passages where translating becomes creative writing in its own way. The style of the novel makes the translator's task challenging as he has to find a way out of numerous conflicting priorities. The abundance of the language and its apparent disorder enable melville to transcend its limitations and express what is beyond the power of words. The main four lines of comparison are four aspects of that attempt, but each raises specific problems for the translator. 1) voices: the quakers, the uneducated people, the exotic characters and the sailors. 2) words for what is beyond words: negative affixes and double negative forms which blur the frontier between a word and its contrary. 3) adjectives: reflecting the narrator's voice piling up words and connotations. 4) creating images and music: through metaphors, repetitions of words and sounds, word order and sentence patterns

Full textIn Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, written by Herman Melville, in 1851, the pequod meets nine other ships at sea. The meetings, supposed to be "gams", do not correspond to Melville's definition of the word. Through a detailed study of the text, i try to show that the gams are to be viewed beyond the narrative frame properly speaking, that they are very well structured, and that they represent the book in miniature. They are closely related to the problems of language and writing, which constitute the main part of my introduction. The meaning of the white whale is their main objective, and through that quest, the narrator questions whiteness, creation, transcendence, life and death, absence and nothingness. Both narrator and reader are involved in the initiatic path imposed by the gams. Through the play atmosphere that pervades the gam-chapters, the narrator topples judeo-christian values to build a world of his own in which he rehabilitates whatever is rejected by western traditions, e. G. Castaways and faeces. At the heart of the symbolic web of the gams, is the digestive process, which melville elaborates fully, and, through cross-checkings with gnosis, alchemy and digestion myths, as well as through the christ image, he attempts at abolishing any dichotomy between the human and the divine, matter and spirit etc. In his search for the transcendent, the narrator will discover his own unity and identity within the limits of human experience and of matter. If the nine meetings of the pequod are characterized by the absence of any communication, the word "gam", different in meaning, symbolizes coincidentia oppositorum and initiatic communication between opposite poles

Full textIn 1942, Algerian writer Albert Camus published a philosophical essay called The Myth of Sisyphus along with a fictional counterpart, The Stranger, wherein he presumed the human condition to be an absurd one. This, Camus claimed, was the result of the absence of a god, and consequently of any meaning beyond life itself. Without a god, without an entity greater than man, man has no higher purpose than himself and he himself is inevitably transient. As such, man, so long as he lives, is cursed with the inability to create or partake in anything lasting. The absurd is life without a tomorrow, a life of futility. As one of the main precursors of this view of life and of the human experience, Camus mentioned Herman Melville and Captain Ahab’s chase for the white whale - Moby Dick.
Now, as will be indicated in the following, the most common critical position holds that the white whale of Moby-Dick, Melville’s magnum opus, is to be interpreted as a symbol of God, and thus Ahab’s chase is tragic by virtue of its impossibility for success. As such, the tragedy is entailed by the futility vis-à-vis its impermanence. However, the ambiguity of Moby-Dick allows for the possibility of several alternative interpretations as to the role of the whale: for instance that of the devil, evil incarnate or merely a "dumb brute". As such, Ahab’s quest might as well be the pursuit of a creature which understands nothing of vengeance, thus rendering his objective equally, if not more fruitless, than the pursuit of a god.

Full textWorks focusing on the taphonomy of fossil concentrations generated in glacial or periglacial environment are rare. In this context, the present dissertation carried out the taphonomic characterization of the fossil concentrations of the Cape Melville Formation, Moby Dick Group (Lower Miocene), King George Island, Antarctica, in order to elucidate the genesis of these deposits. To this end, data relative to a total of 534 specimens were obtained in the richly fossil layers of the four sections, called Pingüineira (PRS), Hard Ground (HGS), Chaminé (CS) and Lava Crag (LCS), investigated at the top of the Melville Peninsula between January and February of 2003. Of these, only the PRS Section presents two distinct fossil layers (PRS-C1 and PRS-C2). The studied fauna is mainly composed of remains of bivalve clams. Less abundant remains of corals, crabs, gastropods and brachiopods, as well as trace fossils, also are present. Taxonomic, ecological and taphonomic analyses allowed similarities to be identified between PRS and HGS and CS and LCS. PRS and HGS Sections are dominantly composed by shallow infaunal deposit-feeding bivalves (Ennucula frigida, Enncula musculosa Yoldia peninsularis), preserved preferentially with closed articulated valves, however out of life position, indicating remobilized fauna; the absence of signs of spalling, abrasion and incrustation indicates that the bioclasts were not affected by intense chemical, physical or biological bioestratinomic processes. The occurrence of pyritized bioclasts in HGS is interpreted as the result of decomposition of the entombed organisms, still alive, in an anoxic environment. The assemblages of CS and LCS Sections are dominantly constituted by deep infaunal suspension-feeding bivalves (Neilo (N.) rongelii), preserved preferentially with disarticulated valves, indicating that the physical biostratinomic processes were more operative; however there are few signs of spalling or other taphonomic signatures such as incrustation and bioerosion. Disarticulated valves are preferentially preserved convex down indicating that bioclasts were placed in suspension and redeposited in a position other than that of greatest hydrodynamic stability; the orientation of these bioclasts in plan view shows a preferential direction, indicating weak currents and a longer time of exposition at the water/sediment interface; the occurrence of rare remains of deep infaunal suspension-feeding bivalves (Panopea (P.) cf. P. regularis) and crabs (Antarctidromia inflata) preserved in life position is indicative that this community was entombed in situ by sediments in suspension that brought the thanatocenosis of disarticulated valves. The results obtained in the present study reiterate the importance of taphonomic and paleoecological studies for the understanding of the depositional dynamics of the past and contribute a great number of data useful in the characterization of glacial and periglacial environments.

Full textAlthough written more than a century apart, American Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick (1851) and Brazilian João Guimarães Rosas The Devil do Pay in the Backlands (1956) sharewhether in format, content, and even in their allegorical significancemany common traits. As products of peripheral literatures of countries undergoing a formative process, both are hybrid narratives that do not fit into the original concept of the European novel; their authors resort to, and transform, the so-called high genres, the epic and the tragedy, to give voice to an individual who, at the margin of the society of his time, wanders through a vast and hostile space whilst engaged in lethal combats. In telling his memories, that individual also outlines a survey of the society from which he is excluded, mixing his history with that of his country. The purpose of this study is to examine and compare extracts from Moby-Dick and The Devil to Pay in the Backlands, divided according to the literary genres that both used and transformed, and, by highlighting similarities and differences, identify Moby-Dick, a book that Rosa had in his personal library, as one of the literary sources for The Devil to Pay in the Backlands.
