Full textMusic has always been an essential part of the African American experience and takes center stage in Ralph Ellison?s Invisible Man. Musicality flows through every line of the novel and the impact the jazz aesthetic has on the text is undeniable. This project seeks to examine the various ways in which specific elements of the jazz aesthetic appear in the text and represent the emotional journey of the novel?s narrator. Focusing specifically on the techniques of vamping, call and response, and improvisation, this project will trace the ways in which these techniques assist the narrator in overcoming the trauma he has suffered as an African American man in a bigoted American society.

Full textThesis advisor: Brian J. Braman
Drawing different people with unique tastes into relationships with one another, the dinner table acts as an anchor for the human community. Though a daily practice for most, can we mark one meal as being more significant, or more influential, or more artistic than another? While we may not consciously realize the forces at work while attending a dinner ourselves, examining the retelling of the shared human experience with meals and meal preparation allow us to analyze more objectively the multi-faceted meanings behind the event. One way in which to do this is through examining the role that mealtime has played in literature. Virginia Woolf's novel, To the Lighthouse, Isak Dinesen's short story Babette's Feast, and Frances Osbourne's biography Lilla's Feast explore the unique human transformation present as their heroine hostesses go beyond simply feeding to truly cater to their guests. Although three very different narratives, the works share the same heart as their presentation of grandiose meals, creative spirit, mystical energy, and ultimate human transcendence express the unique power each hostess has to create warmth in even the coldest of homes.Yet, what about each hostess' artistic, culinary masterpieces, their mode of self-expression, allow those who partake in their creations to better themselves? Can the meal, like art, do anything for the soul? Our psyches can be affected by the ritual act of dining. Through reflection on the communal culinary experience, as presented to us in ready-to-analyze literature, we may almost spiritually experience the art and its encouragement of the perfectibility of our own human natures

Resistance to live: the strategies of the human condition in Vidas Secas , within its horizons of transcendence is a work based on the drama Vidas Secas , by Graciliano Ramos. It caught our attention for showing some tension between the attachment to life and the difficulties to obtain the primary resources for maintenance. The organization of societies and the élan that moves men toward intellectual development cause resistance to live. On the literary analysis of the book we shall emphasize the characteristics of each character and the close relations among Fabiano s family members, who present identical signs of social retreat, boldly shown by the difficulty of verbal expression. The content of the novel sends these characters to the big city, a place where they expose their inadequacy. This reality becomes cruel when Fabiano, the cowboy, suffers material harm due to hi9s lack of argument, not because of intellectual inability, but mainly because of the subordinate position demanded by his living situation, settled in his boss land. Through the analysis of the structures of Christian anthropology, it is possible to understand the strategies of men s spirit to keep living. The flow that connects human life to outer world and the transcendence give us examples of hope coming from our comprehension about what the mankind is. Supported by Henrique C. L. Vaz theory of Philosophical Anthropology, by Alfredo Bosi s notions of resistance literature, and still some knowledge about metaphor philosophy from Franklin Leopoldo e Silva s study of Bergonian thought, the notion of irony in Graciliano s book is understood. This resistant porture links the text Vidas Secas to Socrates dialectic. This opposition between life and death, dryness and flood, understanding and alienation, enhances human communication capability with the exterior and with the transcendental life. It identifies the natural mysticism and the Christian mysticism, which are different but progressive stages in human clarification.
Resistência para viver: as estratégias da condição humana a partir de Vidas Secas , em seus horizontes de transcendência é um trabalho que nasceu inspirado no drama Vidas Secas, de Graciliano Ramos. Despertou-nos a atenção por apresentar certa tensão entre o apego à vida e as dificuldades de obtenção de recursos primordiais para sua manutenção. As causas decorrentes da organização das sociedades e o elã que predispõe o homem à intelectualidade produzem resistência para viver. Na análise literária da obra destacamos as características de cada personagem e a relação estreita dos membros da família de Fabiano que apresentam traços idênticos de retração social, marcadamente destacada pela dificuldade de expressão verbal. O teor do romance remete esses personagens à cidade, local onde expõem sua inadaptação. Essa realidade torna-se cruel quando o vaqueiro Fabiano sofre prejuízo material em virtude de sua falta de argumentação, nem tanto por impossibilidade intelectual, mas principalmente pela subserviência exigida por sua situação de assentamento em terras do patrão. É nesse contexto que, por meio da análise das estruturas da antropologia cristã, conseguimos compreender as estratégias do espírito na manutenção da vida. O fluxo que liga a vida humana ao mundo exterior e à transcendência nos confere exemplo de esperança provinda da compreensão do que é o homem. Respaldados pela teoria da Antropologia Filosófica de Henrique C. L. Vaz, pela noção de literatura de resistência de Alfredo Bosi e ainda algumas noções da filosofia da metáfora, estudo de Franklin Leopoldo e Silva do pensamento bergsoniano, atingimos a noção de ironia na obra graciliana. Essa postura resistente aproxima o texto de Vidas Secas da dialética socrática. É essa oposição entre a vida e a morte, entre a seca e a cheia, entre a compreensão e a alienação que ressalta a capacidade de comunicação humana com o exterior e o transcendente , identificando a mística natural e a mística cristã, estágios diferentes, mas progressivos na iluminação dita humana.

Cecília Meireles é escritora da vida, procurando descrever, de modo poético, a existência humana. No jogo de palavras-cifras, a autora busca encontrar respostas ou apontar caminhos às suas próprias indagações, que no fundo, são universais. Solombra é um dos veículos eleitos pela poetisa para esse desvelamento do ser. Desvelamento que é a ―síntese final e plena de toda a trajetória filosófica e mística idealizada muito antes de Viagem‖ pela autora, segundo Boberg (1989). Última obra ceciliana (1963) publicada em vida torna-se peculiar mesmo ao tratar de temas já caros à autora: estar-no-mundo, efemeridade, ser-para-amorte e angústia diante da vida. Solombra mostra o ser em conflito que, em oposição às situações concretas e angustiantes em que vive, vê a possibilidade de transcendência. Estes traços ―existenciais‖ são o que permeiam os objetivos desse estudo, uma vez que a poesia ceciliana possui a capacidade de colocar o ser em relação direta com o Ser, posição que outrora já fora privilegiada pelo Simbolismo, e que também está no filósofo Heidegger, que nos dá uma nova chave de leitura para os poemas. Preocupação é tirar da sombra à claridade os segredos. Isso se dá implicitamente, nos símbolos e enigmas que a escritora nos lança a todo o momento. Filosofia é apenas suporte teórico. A intenção primeira é fazer um estudo literário, ou seja, o suporte reflexivo do existencialismo é útil na medida em que amplia o horizonte do leitor e as possibilidades de leitura, além de mostrar um traço da modernidade de Cecília. Heidegger admite que a completa alétheia do ser se dá na linguagem poética, única autêntica para ele, por ser a ―casa do ser‖, ponto de partida para iluminação de toda existência e verdade. E a poesia ceciliana colabora nesse desvelamento
Cecília Meireles is a writer of life, who wants to describe, in a poetic way, the human existence. In her code words play, she search find answers or show ways to her own indagations, which are, actually, universal questions. Solombra is one of the vehicles elect by the poetess to that alétheia of being. That is ―the final and complete synthesis of the entire mystic and philosophical trajectory which was idealized by her still before Viagem‖, according Boberg (1989). Last cecilian work (1963) published in life, it becomes peculiar even when it treats beloved themes to her: being-in-the-world, ephemerality, being-to-thedeath and aguish in front of life. Solombra shows the being in conflict that, in opposition to the concrete and anguish situations in what it lives, sees the transcendence possibility. Those ―existential‖ treats are what permeate the objectives of this work, since poetry has the capacity of put the being in direct relation to the Being, position that in former times was privileged by Symbolism and that are also into Heidegger´s thoughts, who give us a new reading key to her poems. A preoccupation is bring out by shadows to the clarity the secrets. This is given implicitly, in symbols and enigmas that the writer cast to us all moments. The philosophy is just a theorical instrument. The first intention is realize a literary study, or better, the existentialism reflexive support is useful when amplify the reader horizon and the possibilities of reading, besides to show a Cecilia Meireles modern treat. Heidegger admits that the complete being alétheia happens in the poetry language, unique and authentic to him, because it the ―being house‖, start point to the illumination of all existence and truth. And the cecilian poetry collaborates in that clarification

Full textThis work analyses the Brazilian Children s Literature in between 1950 and 1985, and has as main objective to identify in which authors whose works are still published we can find references to the Sacred, whether in poetry or prose. The methodology used was a research in publications of Children s Literature and hermeneutics from the works of the selected authors. The hypothesis is that the Sacred s marks left by the authors never should be seen like evangelization and catechesis, but like a childish and loving engagement with the Transcendent. And also, it can be used as an orientation to the new authors and to the editorial business, that there is no problem in publishing texts that contains representations, symbols or Sacred manifestations to children, on the contrary, it helps them to see the experience with the Sacred as an integral part of their formation and it can follow them, with no problems, throughout life, contributing to the individual and collective formation, and the search for understanding of great questions of humanity
Este trabalho analisa a Literatura Infantil brasileira no período de 1950 a 1985 e tem como objetivo principal identificar em quais autores, cujas obras estão publicadas até hoje, se encontram referenciais ao Sagrado, seja em poesia ou prosa. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa em publicações de Literatura Infantil e a hermenêutica das obras dos autores selecionados. A hipótese é que as marcas do Sagrado deixadas pelos autores em nenhum momento devem ser vistas como evangelização e catequese, mas como encontro lúdico e amoroso com o Transcendente. E, também, podem servir de orientação para os novos autores e para o mercado editorial que não há problema algum em publicar textos que contenham representações, símbolos ou manifestações do Sagrado para crianças, pelo contrário, ajudaas a vivenciarem a experiência com o Sagrado como parte integrante de sua formação e que pode acompanhá-las, sem nenhum problema, pela vida afora, contribuindo à formação individual e coletiva e a busca de compreensão para os grandes questionamentos existenciais da humanidade

Resumo: O livro de poemas mediúnicos Parnaso de além-túmulo, do médium mineiro Francisco Cândido Xavier (Chico Xavier), composto por 259 poemas atribuídos a 56 poetas brasileiros e portugueses, é o objeto de estudo desta dissertação. A intenção do trabalho é levantar algumas questões, do interesse da teoria literária, suscitadas por esse tipo de literatura, como a autoria, o pastiche, o estilo, os limites do literário. A dissertação é formada por três capítulos. O primeiro trata do histórico das edições de Parnaso; dos poetas apresentados como os autores espirituais; dos conteúdos da antologia e das repercussões de Parnaso no meio espírita e na imprensa em geral. O segundo capítulo é formado por cinco estudos que procuram verificar, a partir de algumas referências críticas, que tipos de pontos em comum existem entre poemas de Parnaso e a obra de autores a quem são atribuídos. Para essa análise, selecionei um corpus de cinco poetas: três portugueses, João de Deus, Antero de Quental e Guerra Junqueiro, e dois brasileiros, Cruz e Sousa e Augusto dos Anjos. Os resultados desses cotejos sugerem que os poemas de Parnaso não seriam o produto de uma simples imitação literária. O último capítulo, à guisa de conclusão, é um desdobramento dos resultados obtidos nas duas primeiras partes do trabalho. Intitulado "O contexto literário de Parnaso", estudam-se neste capítulo os seguintes temas: a configuração autoral e a intenção probatória da antologia; alguns pressupostos do entendimento espírita de arte; a inspiração literária e o espiritismo; Chico Xavier e a psicografia e, por fim, os propósitos persuasivos da literatura espírita
Abstract: Francisco Cândido Xavier's book of mediumistic poems, Parnaso de além-túmulo [Parnassus Beyond the Tomb], containing 259 works attributed to 56 Brazilian and Portuguese poets, is discussed in this dissertation within such categories relevant to Literary Theory as authorship, pastiche, style and the limits of literary geme. The first chapter of three that make up the dissertation analyzes the publication history of Parnaso and the content of the various editions, the poets represented in the anthology as spiritual authors, in addition to the repercussions of publication within the Spiritist community and the press in general. The second chapter consists of five studies that on the basis of the critical bibliografy attempt to ascertain the commonalities between the works of the poets and the poems of Parnaso. A corpus was selected ftom the works of three Portuguese poets (João de Deus, Antero de Quental e Guerra Junqueiro) and two Brazilians (Cruz e Sousa e Augusto dos Anjos). The analysis suggests that the poems of the anthology are not a product of simple literary imitation. The final chapter presents certain implications of the analysis. Entitled, "The Literary Context of Pamassus," the following questions are taken up: configurational aspects of authorship and the probative intentions of the anthology; presuppositions for a Spiritist understanding of art; literary inspiration and Spiritism; Chico Xavier and psychography; and, to conclude, persuasive elements in Spiritist literature

A presente dissertação realiza uma trajetória pela narrativa de el Llano en Llamas (1953) e Pedro Páramo (1955) de Juan Rulfo. Nessas obras, a morte - grande conflito humano - aparece como tema recorrente. Os personagens de el Llano en Llamas "vivem"ensimesmados na solidão do campo, enquanto os personagens de Pedro Páramo sofrem coletivamente sob o domínio do cacique Pedro Páramo. A proposta literária dessas narrativas possibilita ao leitor engendrar uma nova e insólita visão de mundo, pois nelas o autor reflete as frustrações coletivas do homem. Por viverem esse context de morte-vida, os personagens recorrem a esperança cristã, apresentada pela Igreja Católica. Portanto, nesta dissertação, primeiramente apresenta-se uma visão filosófico/teológica - que é a base da pesquisa. Posteriormente, apresenta-se o tema da morte na arte em geral e na literatura. E, por ultimo, apresentam-se a "vivência" da morte na obra rulfiana e uma possível saída do mundo mesquinho de Comala, como expressão de libertação de conflito maior que é a morte. This dissertation deals with Juan Rulfo´s book of short stories El llano en llamas (1953) and the novel Pedro Páramo (1955). The point at issue of the writings is the predicament of death which epitomizes all other conflicts. The campesinos of the stories live in the loneliness of the wasteland, whereas the dwellers of Comala meet a common fate under the merciless grasp of Don Pedro. A fresh approach to the writings that lay bare human frustrations brings about a new insight. Entangled in a life steadily threatened by death the characters appeal to christian hope, to no avail. The research focuses on the "living" death of Rulfo´s fiction, first by means of a theo-philosophical approach. Then comes death in art, specifically in literature. Lastly we look into death in both Rulfo´s masterpieces, venturing eventually a possible escape from Comala, that is, from the grip of death.

Full textThe research conducted in this work focuses on the intertextuality between German literary and philosophical works, notably those of Novalis and Rilke, and the sonnet collection of the modern Chinese scholar and writer Feng Zhi. This study analyses the extent to which transtextual elements travel between the primary literature, the author’s own German doctoral dissertation, which ultimately played a vital role in the development of his lyrical voice, and his sonnets. Moreover, the texts analysed in this study attempt to demonstrate how given transcultural elements in Feng Zhi’s poetry define the writer’s apparent poetic tendency as a post-Romantic and metaphysical lyricist, whereas other closer transtextual investigations place his work among the first examples of Chinese modernist writings. The profound and enigmatic contemplative reflections of the sonnets make Feng Zhi a metaphysical poet. The lyrical self engages with the surrounding world and gains new aesthetic experiences through the power of imagination, the meditation on spatial and temporal infinity, the recognition of the changeable and permanent state of matter, and a final existential realisation of man’s self-completion through his state of isolation. This study finally also analyses the conceptualised idea of infinity and transcendence evoked by Orphic mysticism. This approach redefines the poetic subject’s relationship with the outer world, and the subject’s final perception of his position within the community, nature and the cosmos as a whole

Resumo: Benedito Nunes, em "A Visão Romântica" (1993, p. 58), afirma que na poesia romântica, "O Eu transcende a Natureza física [...]", pois estabelece com ela um entendimento interno. Sob esse ponto de vista, a Natureza romântica é reveladora, pois exprime a experiência subjetiva do sujeito lírico e contribui para o alcance de uma consciência demiúrgica. Essa poesia referta de analogias será o ponto de partida para a abordagem de um universo onde cada elemento natural seja visto como metáfora de outra realidade superior, intuível pelo projeto poético. Álvares de Azevedo, em Lira dos vinte anos, desenvolve tal intuição panteística, especialmente na Primeira e na Terceira Parte, provocando contraponto em muitos poemas da Segunda Parte, quando substitui a intuição pela dedução irônica do mundo e dos homens. As outras obras do autor nos interessam na medida em que exploram as metáforas do anoitecer, como Macário, Noite na taverna e O Conde Lopo. Porém, entendemos que na Lira, a transcendência pela natureza se realiza mais plenamente, permitindo-nos uma leitura de seus versos por via dessa visada crítica. A intenção da tese é, dessa forma, entender a poética da natureza no jovem autor, de modo que possamos dialogar com a experiência transcendente do sujeito romântico e com os pressupostos da filosofia romântica disseminados a partir do Pré-Romantismo alemão
Abstract: Benedito Nunes, in "A Visão Romântica" (1993, p. 58), claims that in romantic poetry, "o Eu transcende a Natureza física" (the 'I' transcends physical Nature) [...]", for it establishes within itself inner understanding. Under this point of view, romantic Nature is revealing for it expresses the biased experience of the lyrical subject, and contributes to reaching a demiurgic awareness. Such poetry fulfilled with analogies shall be the start point for the approach of a universe where each natural element is seen as a metaphor of another superior reality, intuitable by the poetic project. Álvares de Azevedo, in Lira dos vinte anos, develops such pantheistic intuition, especially in the First and in the Third Part, causing a counterpoint in many poems from the Second Part, when he replaces intuition by the ironic deduction of the world and men. The other works by this author interest to us in what they concern the exploitation of the dusk metaphor, as in Macário, Noite na taverna and O Conde Lopo. Nevertheless, one understands that in Lira, the transcendence over nature is lived to its fullest, allowing us the reading of its verses through this critic look. The aim of this thesis is, thus, understand the poetics of nature in the young author in such a way one can dialog with the romantic subject's transcendent experience and also the assumptions of the romantic philosophy spread since German Pre-Romantism

A intenção primeira é fazer um estudo literário, ou seja, o suporte reflexivo do existencialismo é útil na medida em que amplia o horizonte do leitor e as possibilidades de leitura, além de mostrar um traço da modernidade de Cecília. Heidegger admite que a completa alétheia do ser se dá na linguagem poética, única autêntica para ele, por ser a ―casa do ser‖, ponto de partida para iluminação de toda existência e verdade. E a poesia ceciliana colabora nesse desvelamento
Abstract: Cecília Meireles is a writer of life, who wants to describe, in a poetic way, the human existence. In her code words play, she search find answers or show ways to her own indagations, which are, actually, universal questions. Solombra is one of the vehicles elect by the poetess to that alétheia of being. That is ―the final and complete synthesis of the entire mystic and philosophical trajectory which was idealized by her still before Viagem‖, according Boberg (1989). Last cecilian work (1963) published in life, it becomes peculiar even when it treats beloved themes to her: being-in-the-world, ephemerality, being-to-thedeath and aguish in front of life. Solombra shows the being in conflict that, in opposition to the concrete and anguish situations in what it lives, sees the transcendence possibility. Those ―existential‖ treats are what permeate the objectives of this work, since poetry has the capacity of put the being in direct relation to the Being, position that in former times was privileged by Symbolism and that are also into Heidegger's thoughts, who give us a new reading key to her poems. A preoccupation is bring out by shadows to the clarity the secrets. This is given implicitly, in symbols and enigmas that the writer cast to us all moments. The philosophy is just a theorical instrument. The first intention is realize a literary study, or better, the existentialism reflexive support is useful when amplify the reader horizon and the possibilities of reading, besides to show a Cecilia Meireles modern treat. Heidegger admits that the complete being alétheia happens in the poetry language, unique and authentic to him, because it the ―being house‖, start point to the illumination of all existence and truth. And the cecilian poetry collaborates in that clarification

Benedito Nunes, em “A Visão Romântica” (1993, p. 58), afirma que na poesia romântica, “O Eu transcende a Natureza física [...]”, pois estabelece com ela um entendimento interno. Sob esse ponto de vista, a Natureza romântica é reveladora, pois exprime a experiência subjetiva do sujeito lírico e contribui para o alcance de uma consciência demiúrgica. Essa poesia referta de analogias será o ponto de partida para a abordagem de um universo onde cada elemento natural seja visto como metáfora de outra realidade superior, intuível pelo projeto poético. Álvares de Azevedo, em Lira dos vinte anos, desenvolve tal intuição panteística, especialmente na Primeira e na Terceira Parte, provocando contraponto em muitos poemas da Segunda Parte, quando substitui a intuição pela dedução irônica do mundo e dos homens. As outras obras do autor nos interessam na medida em que exploram as metáforas do anoitecer, como Macário, Noite na taverna e O Conde Lopo. Porém, entendemos que na Lira, a transcendência pela natureza se realiza mais plenamente, permitindo-nos uma leitura de seus versos por via dessa visada crítica. A intenção da tese é, dessa forma, entender a poética da natureza no jovem autor, de modo que possamos dialogar com a experiência transcendente do sujeito romântico e com os pressupostos da filosofia romântica disseminados a partir do Pré-Romantismo alemão
Benedito Nunes, in “A Visão Romântica” (1993, p. 58), claims that in romantic poetry, “o Eu transcende a Natureza física” (the ‘I’ transcends physical Nature) [...]”, for it establishes within itself inner understanding. Under this point of view, romantic Nature is revealing for it expresses the biased experience of the lyrical subject, and contributes to reaching a demiurgic awareness. Such poetry fulfilled with analogies shall be the start point for the approach of a universe where each natural element is seen as a metaphor of another superior reality, intuitable by the poetic project. Álvares de Azevedo, in Lira dos vinte anos, develops such pantheistic intuition, especially in the First and in the Third Part, causing a counterpoint in many poems from the Second Part, when he replaces intuition by the ironic deduction of the world and men. The other works by this author interest to us in what they concern the exploitation of the dusk metaphor, as in Macário, Noite na taverna and O Conde Lopo. Nevertheless, one understands that in Lira, the transcendence over nature is lived to its fullest, allowing us the reading of its verses through this critic look. The aim of this thesis is, thus, understand the poetics of nature in the young author in such a way one can dialog with the romantic subject’s transcendent experience and also the assumptions of the romantic philosophy spread since German Pre-Romantism

Esta pesquisa investiga as máscaras de Deus na obra de Fernando Pessoa e, especialmente, suas diferentes manifestações no âmbito heteronímico e politônico da poética pessoana. O corpus adotado é o Livro do Desassossego, escrito ao longo da vida de Pessoa, assinado pelo semi-heterônimo Bernardo Soares, e que dialoga com as personalidades de seus principais heterônimos: Alberto Caeiro, o poeta objetivista; Álvaro de Campos, o poeta subjetivista; e Ricardo Reis, o poeta clássico. Dialogam ainda com o Livro, não apenas os caracteres dos heterônimos, mas também os principais poemas de Alberto Caeiro, dentre os quais se destaca o poema VIII, de O Guardador de Rebanhos. A Ode Triunfal de Álvaro de Campos e as odes clássicas de Ricardo Reis também sustentam o diálogo com o Livrodo Desassossego. Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos e Ricardo Reis têm uma concepção imanente da divihdade; ao passo que o olhar de Bernardo Soares e o do próprio Fernando Pessoa é, predominantemente, místico e transce~dentalista. Nesse teatro estático, as personagens heteronímicas, desfuncionalizadas, a narrativa onírica fragmentada, bem como o processo de produção literária de Fernando Pessoa, alimentam um jogo de máscaras múltiplas que apontam para a polifonia e as diferentes faces da divindade na obra pessoana

Full textThis study explores the tension between politics and ethics in selected novels by J.M Coetzee. It contends that, in this writer's fiction, ethics is conceived of in Levinasian terms as a relation of responsibility for the other which is grounded in an acknowledgement of the other's radical difference to the same. The thesis examines Coetzee's self-reflexive investigation of the problem for novelistic representation posed by this conception of ethics. In order to contextualise this examination, the first chapter of the study establishes that the form and medium of the novel install a relation of correlation between same and other, and that the novel-as-genre therefore routinely forecloses on, rather than maintains a relation of difference to, alterity. Chapter One also traces the various strategies through which Coetzee's novels attempt not only to prevent the medium and form of the novel-as-genre from reducing the other to an object and thereby violating it, but also to impart a sense of that which inevitably exceeds, and so transcends, this genre's representational protocols. By means of such strategies of excession, the study contends, Coetzee's texts endeavour to inscribe a responsible relation to the other. The four remaining chapters of the thesis trace Coetzee's installation of strategies of excession, and therefore of an ethical aesthetic, in Dusklands, Life and Times of Michael K, Foe, Age of Iron and The Master of Petersburg. They also consider these novels' self-conscious articulation of the ethical implications of such strategies. Chapter Four and Chapter Five pay special attention to the inscription in Coetzee's later fiction of a debate on the possible effect on the reader of the individual text's ethical relation to the other. In this regard, the thesis argues that the ultimate purpose of Coetzee's attempt to respond responsibly to alterity in his writing is to enable the other to approach the reader in the course of the literary encounter. It thereby demonstrates that Coetzee's concern with ethics is deeply political: in attempting to contrive an ethical relation between the reader and the other, the individual text seeks to secure a mediation of the political by the ethical.

Full textThe present thesis seeks to address, in a reading of the text Le bain de Diane by Pierre Klossowski, the specific modalities through which literature aims to understand the complex ties between concepts of 'immanence' and 'transcendence'. To do so, I begin by introducing the concepts necessary for such an undertaking ⎯ reading authors such as Plato, Apuleius, Pierre Hadot, Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, all of whom have contributed to the concept of the 'demon' as described in Klossowski’s work ⎯ and by introducing the concept of 'simulacrum', a key concept in Klossowsi’s writing. By tracing the creation and representation of these concepts in various texts and then identifying them in Le bain de Diane, I attempt to demonstrate the importance of literary figuration in our complex relationship with concepts of the 'sensitive' and the 'suprasensitive'.

Full textThis master thesis considers how the literary practice of Ralph Waldo Emerson might help us rethink the modern heritage in the tradition of spiritual exercises. The nineteenth century American writer followed the path of this antique tradition that was uncovered by the philosophy historian Pierre Hadot, allowing us to consider anew this tradition within the framework of modernity. It is thus possible to access an unexpected modernity of spiritual exercises, unknown to Hadot himself, characterized by the production of literary texts that convey what Emerson calls, “an original relation to the universe.” The first chapter explains the specificity of traditional spirituality, where writing serves to incorporate traditional text into oneself. It considers the literary practice of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Saint Augustine, who all attempted to live according to their conception of transcendence: personal under stoicism, institutional within Christianity. Chapter two illustrates how Emerson overturns the traditional way of behaving with a spiritual text. His critique of Christian theology shows that the revelation of Christ is, in its origin, a personal experience of transcendence that cannot be instituted. From this romantic dissension with Christianity emerges a theory of literature related to mysticism and in close ties with an “expressivist” conception of language (Charles Taylor). The final chapter examines Emerson’s literary askesis. First explained is the antischolastic conception of the scholar, subsequently showing how his way of thinking is interrelated to a fluxional conception of the universe. Lastly demonstrated is how his experimental way of life relies on a conception of literature as process.

Full textDie bydrae van die lsraelitiese wysheidsliteratuur word in die teologiese nadenke oor die wese sowel as die regverdigheid van God in 'n groot mate onderbenut gelaat. Dit hoef egter nie so te wees nie. lndien die wysheid van Israel teen die agtergrond of breer konteks van die ontwikkeling in die konvensionele oud-Oosterse wysheid en vanuit 'n toepaslike orienteringspunt benader word, kan die betekenis daarvan histories en eksegeties op so 'n wyse ontsluit word dat die relevansie met betrekking tot die teologiese gesprek oor God en die teodisee aangetoon kan word. In die lig hiervan word die kritiese wysheid van Israel aan die hand van 'n elliptiese ordeningsbeginsel, wat enersyds die heerskappy van God en andersyds die moontlikheid van gemeenskap tussen God en mens as wentelpunte het, histories en eksegeties ondersoek. Verskillende reaksies op 'n gemeenskaplike ervaring van God se transendensie word in die lsraelitiese wysheid gehandhaaf en ontwikkel. Al word die terme 'transendensie', 'immanensie' en 'teodisee' nerens in die wysheidstekste van Israel gebruik nie, kom die motiewe nogtans voor. Die alternatiewe wat gehandhaaf en uitgewerk word, beklemtoon die verband tussen godsbeskouing en die ervaring van God as of verwyderd of immanent. Op soek na die balans tussen die transendensie en immanensie van God, bied die kritiese wysheid van Israel wel 'n perspektief waarin so 'n omvangryke ervaring van die wese van God moontlik is dat die beperkinge van rasionaliteit, en daarom ook vrae wat uit die teodisee-vraagstuk voortvloei, oorkom kan word.
The contribution of the sapiential literature of ancient Israel to theological reflection on both the essence and the justice of God is to a large extent neglected. This need not be the case. If Israelite wisdom is approached from a suitable vantage point and against the background or in the wider context of the sapiential movement in the ancient Near East, it becomes possible to historically and exegetically unravel the meaning and relevance of Old Testament wisdom in theological discussion of God and theodicy. In this light a historical and exegetical exploration of Israel's critical wisdom is undertaken with the aid of an elliptical guiding principle in which the supreme lordship of God is the one focal point, and the possibility of intimate communion between God and humans the other. Different reactions to a common experience of the transcendence of God are maintained and developed in the wisdom of ancient Israel. Although the terms 'transcendence', 'immanence' and 'theodicy' are never used in their wisdom texts, the motifs themselves did occur. The connection between the God concept and the experience of God as either remote or immanent, is emphasized by the alternatives which are developed in both the conventional and critical wisdom. In search of balance between the transcendence and immanence of God, the critical wisdom of Israel does offer a perspective within which comprehensive experience of the essence of God is possible to such an extent that the limitations of rationality, and therefore also the questions emanating from the riddle of theodicy, can be exceeded.

Klossowski’s work exemplifies, both concretely and abstractly, a particular economy of the literary which is the epistemocritical basis of this thesis, for it crosses the boundaries between genres, medias and techniques of the 20th century. Articulating a conception of the literary as an encounter that refuses to be confined to simple duality, the thesis proposes an epistemological reflection on the literary phenomenon and on the exemplarity of Klossowski’s figure in such a context, a figure whose formation and the way in which it acts on the literary itself are also deployed in the thesis. By taking into consideration the historically late formation of current knowledge institutions and their effect on the modern conception of disciplines, the thesis breaks down the current schemas of disciplinary categorizations and rethinks the epistemological power of the literary according to an economy of the encounter that is analyzed through Pierre Klossowski’s transdisciplinary productions.

Full textThis study investigates the literary and poetic transformations set in motion by the Beat Generation literary movement in mid-twentieth-century North America. In focusing on "Howl and Other Poems" by the poet Allen Ginsberg, the iconic text of this literary revolution, I show how the Beats represent a transformation in the American and Western literary and poetic tradition, with regard to form, theme and writing practice. In the first place, I study the history of these changes by examining the reception of "Howl," which upset the expectations of the literary establishment of the time because of its approach that includes everything, without distinction, in the representation. My second chapter focuses on the poet’s point of view, the poetic vision. I show how the poet’s perspective vis-à-vis the world changes with Ginsberg and the Beats. Instead of conceiving transcendence, the universal, as something far-removed from the particular, as presupposed by the Western poetic tradition, the Beats see transcendence everywhere, in everything. Ultimately, I turn to the place of language in expressing this new vision. I observe how Ginsberg and the Beats, inspired by the poetry of Walt Whitman, develop a spontaneous language no longer emanating from self-mastery.
