Esta dissertação aborda questões em torno da escritura joyceana. Stephen Dedalus, personagem-conceito assume a escrita do texto e brinca de artífice, dando margem para que o texto trabalhe questões como aspectos de sua criação, uma certa característica de hospitalidade, seus desdobramentos e a reflexão acerca do gênero textual. A hospitalidade derridiana é discutida também sob os olhares da tradução, que se revela enquanto abertura infinda. Nesse ponto o trabalho também discute a relação cíclica texto-leitor-texto e suas leis. A discussão acerca do gênero textual envolve Biografia, Autobiografia, Retrato, Confissão, Diário, Ensaio. Os pactos leitorautor-texto, o pacto e o espaço biográfico. Por fim, as questões da criação conversam com Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari sobre o plano da imanência, o da composição e o que mais nos importa do personagem-conceitual que é Stephen Dedalus. _______________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
This dissertation addresses issues concerning Joyce’s writing. The conceptual persona Stephen Dedalus undertakes the writing of the text and acts as an artificer, letting the text work issues such as aspects of its creation, a certain trait of hospitality, its consequences and reflections on genre. Derrida’s hospitality, which is also discussed from the standpoint of translation, is revealed as a conceptual opening up. At this point the cyclical text-reader-text relationship and the laws governing it are then discussed. The discussion on genre involves Biography, Autobiography, Portrait, Confession, Diary, Essay; all the possible pacts readerauthor- text, and then the biographical pact and biographical space. Finally, the issues of criation converse with Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari on the plane of immanence, composition and what matters most importantly, Stephen Dedalus as a conceptual persona.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the use of folktales in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's 1987 award-winning musical Into the Woods. In doing so, I hope to accomplish several directives. First, to enrich understanding of the musical for all audience members, especially those with a folklore or theater background. I feel that understanding the underlying goals and standards that Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine used in creating the musical will provide a much deeper understanding of the genius of their work. I also aim clearly elucidate the merger of folk narrative and popular musical theater form in this innovative musical. My hope is that analyses such as this will encourage a greater exploration of the strong reciprocal relationship between folklore and theater. Into the Woods is based upon four traditional folktales: Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and the Beanstalk. A very brief synopsis of the plot runs as follows: Cinderella, Jack, and Little Red all wish for something, and must go into the woods to get it. Rapunzel, heroine of the fourth tale, already lives in the woods with the Witch, though she wishes to see the world. Added to these tales is the central tale created by Lapine, based on the first section of Rapunzel's tale—the Baker turns out to be Rapunzel's older brother, whom their parents had before the Witch acquired Rapunzel. The Baker and his Wife wish to have a child; only when the Witch visits them do they learn that they have not been able to have a child because when the Witch came to collect Rapunzel, she also curse the Baker's family. When the Witch appears she explains to the Baker how to reverse the curse. The Baker must collect: 1) the cow as white as milk; 2) the cape as red as blood; 3) the hair as yellow as corn; 4) the slipper as pure as gold, all of which belong to one of the traditional folktale characters, before the end of the third midnight. Act One is comprised of the Baker and his wife searching for these items as the other four tales play themselves out according to Grimms' version they are based upon. Act Two begins after "Happily Ever After" and attempts to bring the characters back into real life. Rapunzel has psychological problems; the Princes' eyes stray elsewhere; Jack is bored; and Little Red Riding Hood has become violent. By the end of Act Two, almost every character besides Jack, Little Red, Cinderella, and the Baker have died, due to the fact that the wife of Jack's Giant has come to seek revenge for her husband's death. In Act Two, these four main characters learn to take responsibility for the selfish actions they committed while pursuing their wish in Act One. In the process, they mature psychologically and become part of a cohesive group, learning to work together for a common cause and realizing that everything everyone does effects everyone else in some way. No one is alone. My thesis begins with a chapter on the history of folktale scholarship. Chapter Two gives biographies of Sondheim and Lapine, and discusses the history of the American musical comedy in order to put them and this musical into a theater context as well. Chapter Three summarizes the plot in detail and compares the Broadway and London productions of the show, including reviews of the musical soon after it came out. Chapter Four analyzes Into The Woods in terms of the theories of Vladimir Propp, and compares Sondheim and Lapine's versions of the stories to the Grimms versions (using Jack Zipes' translation) and Joseph Jacobs, from whom they drew their version of Jack and the Beanstalk. Chapter Five does the same thing using the scholarship of Axel Olrik and Max Luthi. Chapter Six explores Sondheim and Lapine's intentions behind the themes in the musical, focusing on the works of Bruno Bettelheim and Erich Fromm. In researching fairy tales for their musical, Sondheim and Lapine read several analyses by folklorists and psychologists. They drew mainly from non-folkloristic sources in creating their interpretations. They critiqued Bettelheim's as well as the Jungians' interpretations of the tales. As Lapine states, "Once we decided on choosing the stories, then the obvious thing was to have a point of view about them" (1991:3). They also drew from the works of Erich Fromm, a Neo-Freudian who primarily focused on the relationship between society and the individual and between individuals.

Abstract:

The major characteristics of Joyce's stylistic achievement in the organic unity of contents and expressions are, firstlyp the 'style* is not intended to reveal the author but the whatness, of his characters and subjects described and secondly Joyce's 'style' contains in itself particular meanings beyond the limits of the semantic and lexical contents of words. These features are more specifically defined as his use of the language for mimetic purposes to revealp suggest and represent consciousness (sometimes even unconscious and subconscious) mood, emotion mental patterns thought processes physical movement situation impression and sound effects through his command of the rhythmical syntactical and other grammatical, and phonological possibilities of his medium. In his earlier worksp Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man(and Stephen Hero for comparison with the Portrait) examination of the variety of his mimetic devices and their purposes contributes to the better comprehension of his works where each stylistic pattern, whether occurring in limited locality or throughout is woven into the whole design of the works. The main recurrent devices can roughly be distinguished as follows andt accordingly, Joyce's mimetic creative ability and variety in his earlier works are to be examined under the following classification: 1. Rhythmic (defined as 'repetition with variations') devices to represent and reveal certain concealed aspects and qualities of his characters; firstly, for characterization by means of special devices of appellations and secondly for revealing the preoccupations and concerns. II. Syntactical grammatical and rhythmic devices to represent, reflect and suggest firstly, his characters thought processes mental patterns emotion, mood and other psychological aspects, and secondly physical movement situation, atmosphere and impression. III. Phonological devices to imitate and suggest actual and imaginary sounds.

Abstract:

L’objectif central de cette thèse est d’observer et de décrire le processus de naissance et d’institutionnalisation d’une nouvelle théorie de la peine : la théorie de la dénonciation. Cette théorie de la peine va naître à l’intérieur d’un système d’idées formé par d’autres théories de la peine déjà institutionnalisées. Ce système d’idées a été identifié et appelé par Alvaro Pires la « rationalité pénale moderne ». Notre contribution visera, elle, à observer d’une part le processus de naissance d’une autre théorie de la peine à l’intérieur de ce système d’idées et, d’autre part, la naissance et l’institutionnalisation de cette théorie dans divers discours : la philosophie et la doctrine juridique, les rapports des commissions de réforme du droit ou encore dans la jurisprudence (canadienne). Au cours de cette observation, nous aurons également la possibilité de voir comment une conception alternative de la dénonciation est apparue, mais sans réussir à prendre la forme stricte d’une « théorie de la peine » ni à s’institutionnaliser de façon stable et visible. Il s’agit de la dénonciation telle que l’a conçue la Commission de réforme du droit du Canada dans les années 1970. Cette manière de concevoir la dénonciation se situait à l’extérieur du système d’idées formé par la rationalité pénale moderne. Cette thèse fait plusieurs contributions à la fois, et de différents genres. Elle prétend contribuer entre autres à la description du processus de naissance et d’institutionnalisation d’une théorie (de la peine) du système de droit criminel en mettant en évidence comment cette théorie va s’opposer à une conception alternative portant le même nom et prédominer sur cette dernière. De plus, cette thèse va construire trois niveaux parallèles d’observation empirique. En effet, nous allons observer la naissance de cette théorie sur trois trames discursives distinctes et bien différenciées : (i) le discours de la philosophie, de la théorie du droit et de la sociologie (ou criminologie) ; (ii) le discours des commissions de réforme (« étatiques » et « non étatiques ») ; (iii) le discours de la jurisprudence.

Abstract:

Ce travail s'intéresse aux états dont les personnages joyciens font l'expérience. Il vise à rendre compte des fluctuations de présence au monde par le repérage et l'analyse de tout un éventail d'états cliniques, mystiques et cognitifs dans les premières œuvres de James Joyce : Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, et Stephen Hero.Si nous replaçons la notion d'état dans le contexte historique des textes de Joyce à travers l'influence combinée de Walter Pater, William James et Friedrich Nietzsche, nous l'utilisons également dans une acception très contemporaine en nous appuyant sur les neurosciences.L'état joycien est envisagé dans sa dimension pathologique par le biais, sur un plan médical,d'Hippocrate et de William Harvey, entre autres, et par l'intermédiaire, sur un plan littéraire, de Gerard Manley Hopkins et Thomas Stearns Eliot. Les notions de tempérament et d'état sont ensuite repensées à l'aune du mysticisme par le relais de Denys l'Aréopagite (Pseudo-), Thérèse d'Avila et Marguerite-Marie Alacoque. La cognition permet de mettre en valeur les processus mentaux à l'origine de ces états.Cette réflexion sur la notion d'état se double d'une approche linguistique du texte. Il s'agit de formaliser le passage d'états spirituels à des états grammaticaux. Les adverbes d'intensité et de manière, ainsi que leur combinaison, peuvent être indicateurs de dispositions mentales et physiologiques.L'éclairage linguistique corrobore notre représentation de l'état joycien comme un réceptacle qui oscille entre la saturation et la disponibilité, de même qu'il permet de saisir la contiguïté poreuse qui existe entre l'état et l'événement dans le texte joycien.

Abstract:

James Joyce é um dos escritores mais famosos do século 20, sendo sua obra muito comentada por leitores e acadêmicos, especialmente devido ao alto nível de complexidade de Ulisses e Finnegans Wake, os romances da fase madura. O foco da presente dissertação, todavia, são os primeiros livros de Joyce que, apesar de serem mais acessíveis ao público em geral, também contêm toda a elaboração linguística e simbólica que caracteriza o autor. Trato especificamente do volume de contos Dublinenses e do romance Um Retrato do Artista Quando Jovem, utilizando para análise deste o suporte oferecido pelo outro romance anterior, não publicado em vida, Stephen Hero. O objetivo da pesquisa é investigar aspectos presentes na prosa de Joyce que revelem a formulação e a aplicação de sua teoria estética. Como a cidade de Dublin surge como uma metáfora sobre as circunstâncias de ser irlandês, interessa ao leitor adquirir alguma familiaridade com a cultura e a história daquele país e com as relações existentes entre os irlandeses e sua terra natal, especialmente no que tange às questões sobre religiosidade e sobre a dominação inglesa. A dissertação vem estruturada em quatro capítulos. O primeiro apresenta James Joyce tanto como pessoa quanto como escritor em formação, nascendo e crescendo em Dublin na virada dos séculos XIX e XX. São analisadas as influências exercidas pelo contexto católico de sua criação e pela crise social e econômica enfrentadas tanto pelo país quanto pela família do autor. O segundo capítulo lida com Dublinenses, o conjunto de contos que apresenta a visão de Joyce sobre a cidade de Dublin. Esses contos podem ser lidos individualmente, mas a obra assume um significado maior quando considerada de forma unificada em termos de linguagem, simbologia, estratégias narrativas e objetivos, em um plano de evolução que abrange fases da infância, da adolescência, da maturidade e da vida pública. As personagens compartilham características comuns: paralisia, falta de perspectivas e incapacidade de entender ou de reagir aos fatores históricos e sociais que os colocam naquela posição. Entre tais fatores predominam três, a cultura católica, a dominação inglesa e a inabilidade das pessoas para reagir de maneira criativa e produtiva aos problemas que se apresentam. O terceiro capítulo analisa a evolução do fazer artístico de Joyce a partir do binômio Stephen Hero e Um Retrato do Artista Quando Jovem, tendo como elemento comum a ideia do Künstlerroman. No quarto e último capítulo, apresento um comentário sobre as marcas de individuação de Joyce em relação a alguns de seus contemporâneos que também tratam sobre questões envolvendo arte, história e tradição. Ao término do trabalho, espero que a minha percepção sobre o conjunto de fatores que propiciaram o surgimento de um autor como Joyce possa ser de utilidade para pessoas que, como eu, acreditam tanto na importância estética quanto na relevância política e social desses três primeiros livros, os primeiros retratos de Dublin que James Joyce produziu.
James Joyce is one of the most famous writers in the 20th century, whose work is very commented both by readers and scholars, especially because of the high level of complexity of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, the two mature masterpieces. The focus of the present thesis, however, lies on the first books written by Joyce, because they are more manageable for reading, and yet bear all the linguistic and symbolic sophistication that marks Joyce’s production. The corpus of the research comprises the book of short stories Dubliners and the novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, using as support to the analysis of the latter, the previous novel, never published in life, Stephen Hero. The aim of this thesis is to investigate aspects of Joyce’s prose that expose the stages of construction and application of his aesthetic theory. The city of Dublin comes as a metaphor about the condition of being Irish. As a consequence, some familiarity with Irish history and culture is relevant for a better understanding of the books, and of the complex relations involving the Irish and their land, especially in matters concerning Catholicism and English domination. The thesis is divided in four chapters. The first draws on James Joyce, considered both as a person and as a writer in progress, born and raised in Dublin in the turn of the 19th into the 20th centuries. The chapter centres on the relations involving the influence of the Catholic context of his formation and the economic and social crises experienced by Ireland and by the Joyce family at the time. Chapter two is about Dubliners, the collection of short stories that presents Joyce’s view about the city of Dublin. These stories can be read independently from one another, but they acquire a finer meaning if considered as a unit in terms of language, symbolism, narrative strategies and goals, besides following a plan of evolution from childhood to adolescence, and to maturity, and public life. The characters share common characteristics: paralysis, lack of perspective, incapacity to understand or to react to the historical and social factors that put them in that position. Among those factors we have the Catholic tradition, the English domination and the inability of the people to react to circumstantial problems in a creative and productive way. Chapter three analyses the evolution of Joyce’s craftsmanship through the duo Stephen Hero/A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, using the notion of Künstlerroman as a starting point. In the last chapter I deal with the peculiarities in Joyce’s style, contrasting them to the practice of some other contemporary authors who also state their views about art, history and tradition. As an aftermath to this thesis, I hope that my comments about the body of elements that propitiated the rise of Joyce as the author he is may prove useful to other people like me, who believe in the relevance of his contribution to the aesthetics of literature and to the discussion about political and social issues related to Ireland, in the first portraits of Dublin displayed in Joyce’s three first books.

Abstract:

The evidence of these diaries, all written in the nineteenth century, reveals the heterogeneous nature of early settler society in the Eastern Cape. Generalizations can only be of the most tenuous kind in such a small sample; but women tend to dwell on the domestic, the men on their public lives, the most reticent about their private lives are the soldiers. There is one diary which can be described as personal; the diarists did not regard their diaries as appropriate repositories of their personal triumphs and failures. The perceptions formed in Britain about the land and people of Africa are not drastically modified upon arrival unless the diarist experiences a prolongued contact with either.

Abstract:

This thesis argues that there is an enigma at the heart of Webster's The Duchess of Malfi; a disjunction between the critical history of the play and its reception in performance. Historical disquiet about the status of the play among academics and cultural commentators has not prevented its popularity with audiences. It has, however, affected some of the staging decisions made by theatre companies mounting productions. Allied to other practical factors, these have impacted significantly – and occasionally disastrously – upon performances. It is argued that Webster conceived the play as a meditation on degree and, in aiming to draw out the maximum relevance from the social satire, deliberately created the multi-faceted performative role of Bosola to work his audience in a complex and subversive manner. The role's purpose was determined in response to the structural discontinuity imposed upon the play by the physical realities of staging within the Blackfriars' auditorium. But Webster also needed an agent to serve the plot's development and, in creating the role he also invented a character, developed way beyond the material of his sources. This character proved as trapped as any other in the play by the consequences of his own moral choices. Hovering between role and character, Webster's creation remains liminally poised on ‘the dangerous edge of things.' Part One explores the contexts in which Webster created one of the most ambiguous figures in early modern drama - subverting stock malcontent, villain and revenger - and speculates on the importance of the actor, John Lowin in its genesis. It includes a subsequent performance history of the role. Part Two presents the detailed analysis of a range of professional performances from the past four decades, attempting to demonstrate how the meaning of the play has been altered by decisions made regarding the part of Bosola.

James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man makes a number of consultations on politics, religion and identity of early-twentieth-century Ireland. It is an autobiographical novel which depicts the childhood and adolescence of the protagonist Stephen Dedalus and his growing process. In this period, it is fulfilled with Stephen’s inner thoughts and interior monologue which reveal Stephen’s self-contradiction toward identity, religion and relation. Stephen demonstrates his way of being by presenting his way of observing and perceiving surroundings as well as his view on religion, family and identity. These elements become conflicts during his growing. As a result, Stephen feels distanced from the outside world, and goes far from reality. His feeling of isolation increases in his growth and forms a painful alienation. The thesis is divided into two chapters. In the first chapter, Stephen Dedalus’s voluntary self-alienation helps him to locate himself and get a sense of desired identity. Readers can get inside Stephen’s mind to know how he records and responds to reality. In the process of self-alienation, Stephen begins to identify himself with the secular world. In the second chapter, Stephen’s profound fantasy and its functions will be discussed. Although Stephen feels depressed by the reality, fantasy comforts him and gives him another exit. However, fantasy is still fantasy. The joy of fantasy is collapsed and Stephen has no choice but to face reality again. Therefore, after having disappointment in fantasy, Stephen needs to find another way to leave reality behind, or he has to go back to face the original family and country problems.

Abstract:

In James Joyce’s Ulysses, I believe that Stephen Dedalus enacts a heteroglossic discourse in episode 15, “Circe,” that critiques both English imperialism and the nationalist bourgeois of Ireland. Moreover, Stephen engages not only in an aesthetic and political rebellion through the style of his discourse, but he also engages in the only anticolonial violence in Ulysses against the British soldier Private Carr. Thus, I believe that Stephen separates himself from the ideology of the colonizer and from the bourgeois nationalists through aesthetic, political, and violent means. I will conduct my examination of Stephen as a revolutionary colonial intellectual in three parts using the work of three respective theorists: Mikhail Bakhtin, Frantz Fanon, and Benedict Anderson. Ultimately, I intend to show that Stephen can be read as a gateway through which Joyce represents a new heterogeneous, anticolonial, and antinational community in Ireland.
