Resumo: A história da literatura é também a história de autores e obras outsiders, ocultadas que estão em plano secundário ou pouco visível. No Brasil, Walter Campos de Carvalho (1916-1998) é um desses autores. Seus livros movimentaram a cena literária brasileira de meados do século XX, principalmente pela oferta de uma dicção polêmica e algo incendiária. Humor, iconoclastia, ateísmo, sexualidade problemática e espírito anarquista consagram-no como uma das vozes mais inquietas da moderna ficção brasileira. Seu espírito contestador mobilizou um fiel público de admiradores - público que o colocou em uma posição que bem poderíamos nomear Cult -, mas também contribuiu para o isolamento que o teria levado a romper com a literatura. Recolhido ao silêncio por mais de trinta anos, o escritor ficou na gangorra que ora o eleva, prometendo-lhe o ressurgimento, ora o despreza fazendo com que volte ao olvido. Neste trabalho, busco novos aspectos do autor e de sua trajetória, explorando textos no geral desconhecidos e rigorosamente preservados de qualquer trabalho de análise. Igualmente procurei ângulos recônditos de obras mais visitadas como A lua vem da Ásia e A Chuva Imóvel, não porque almejasse a crítica do ineditismo, mas simplesmente por não assentir com todas as formas pelas quais o autor é visto e com os estereótipos usualmente ofertados pela crítica que o alcançou
Abstract: The history of literature is also the literary history of outside writers and work, hidden like they are in a second level, lacking visibility. In Brazil, Walter Campos de Carvalho (1916-1998) is one of these writers. His books showed up the Brazilian literary scene in the middle of the 20th century, mainly due to the polemic and some incendiary diction it had to offer. Humor, iconoclasm, atheism, problematic sexuality and anarchist spirit consecrated him like as one of the most outspoken voices of the Brazilian modern fiction. His refutable mind mobilized a faithful public of admirers - such a public that put him in a position we might well call Cult -, but also contributed to the isolation that would lead to a break with the literature. Withdrawn in silence for over thirty years, the writer was in a see-saw that would raise him, promising him resurgence, then despise him making him return to oblivion. In this work I seek new aspects of Campos literature and its history, exploring texts in general unknown and strictly preserved of any analytical work. I also tried recondite angles on two of his more popular books A lua vem da Ásia and A Chuva Imóvel, not because I craved a critique of originality, but simply for not assenting to all the ways in which the author is seen an the stereotypes usually offered by critics that attained him

Resumo: Esta tese tem como objeto a obra romanesca de João Gilberto Noll, que é composta de doze romances publicados até o presente momento. A ideia que alimentou nosso ímpeto inicial foi surpreender na heterogeneidade dos diversos romances uma certa unidade que poderia ser o princípio estruturante dos romances de Noll. Correndo o risco de sermos demasiado sistemáticos, empreendemos tal trabalho. Divide-se esta tese em dois momentos distintos e complementares, a saber: primeiramente traçamos, um tanto quanto abstratamente, o que há de constante, o traço comum entre os doze heróis (que, em certo sentido, são o mesmo) que falam nos romances. Destacamos, neste primeiro momento da tese, a importância que a análise temporal teve, fornecendo talvez a chave interpretativa mais importante para se compreender as questões identitárias que os romances em questão evocam. Neste sentido, teóricos como Paul Ricoeur e Jean Pouillon forneceram a base teórica para se estabelecer uma visão substancial do fazer narrativo no tempo. Na segunda parte, cada romance é compulsado de maneira a concretizar os corolários produzidos na primeira parte da tese. Buscamos evitar o périplo teleológico, no qual estaria dado já no início o fim em direção ao qual conduziríamos nossa exposição. Sendo assim, a hipótese que se transformou em tese sustenta que todos estes romances são, na sua essência mesma, dramas identitários nos quais seus heróis deliberadamente buscam o não-ser, aquilo que não são, mas que anelam profunda e angustiadamente. Não se trata de uma carência de ser, mas de uma busca consciente pelos limites do eu diante do não-eu. As análises de cada romance nos permitiram demonstrar sobejamente que esta hipótese se confirma tout court e nos conduzem a reflexões que são de teor filosófico - uma vez que dizem respeito aos nossos dramas existenciais -, às quais buscamos encontrar respectivos filósofos para nos auxiliar
Abstract: This thesis focuses on the novelistic work by João Gilberto Noll, which comprises twelve published novels until the present moment. The idea that nurtured our initial impetus was to come upon, at the diversity of the various novels, a certain unit that could be the structuring principle of the novels by Noll. At the risk of being too systematic, we undertake such work. This thesis is divided into two distinct and complementary moments, namely: first we trace, somewhat abstractly, what is constant, the common thread among the twelve heroes (which, in a sense, are the same) who speak in the novels. In this first moment of the thesis, we emphasize, the importance of the temporal analysis, perhaps providing the most important interpretative key to understand the identity issues that the novels in question evoke. In this sense, theorists such as Paul Ricoeur and Jean Pouillon provided the theoretical basis for establishing a substantial vision of the narrative in time. In the second part, each novel is examined in order to achieve the corollaries produced in the first part of the thesis. We seek to avoid the teleological periplus, in which the end would be already given at the beginning of the way of our exposition. Thus, the hypothesis that turned into thesis argues that all these novels are, in their essence, identity dramas in which their heroes deliberately seek the non-being, what they are not, but what they wish to be deep and anxiously. It is not a lack of being, but it is a percipient search for the limits of the self before the not-self. The analysis of each novel allowed us to widely demonstrate that this hypothesis is confirmed tout court and they lead us to philosophical reflections - once they are related to our existential dramas - to which we seek to find respective philosophers to help us

Resumo: Neste trabalho, apresenta-se uma leitura da ficção de Cornélio Penna que privilegia a articulação entre as dimensões religiosa e social, aproximando assim os dois extremos em que grande parte da crítica tem localizado a obra do autor. Trata-se de um percurso de análise em que a noção de Itabirismo, conforme a concebe Cornélio Penna, ilumina o mergulho do romancista no universo de nossa formação social e cultural, como também o diálogo entre sua ficção e o grande romance católico do início do século XX.
Abstract: The present study consists of an analysis of Cornélio Penna's fiction focusing on the intersection between both religious and social dimensions in his work. In its analytical path, the notion of Itabirismo, conceived by the novelist, highlights his journey into the Brazilian cultural background, as well as the dialogue between his fiction and the Catholic novel from the beginning of the 20th century.

In the whole of Brazilian literature, Osman Lins is a name that stands out for the quality and diversity of his production. Novelist, playwright, essayist, among other attributions, the writer has an aesthetic refinement as well as a reflexive posture in face of the cultural, social and political obstacles of the country. The osmanianos studies often highlight the author's romanesque experiments in his so-called maturity phase. Not exclusively, the prior creation to this period still lacks major critical exams, such as the novel debut, The Visitor (1955) corpus of this research. Besides the interesting textual warp, this work presents a humble fortune review, which gives rise to this work. It should be added that on several occasions the writer affirms that the cosmogonical attitude along with the preoccupations with the national ills and the reflection on the creative process, guide his life and the literary work. That said, one wonders how this worldview is presented in The Visitor. Taking into account the traced interdiscurssive of the narrative and the novelist’s social-critcism and point of view. The proposed analysis considers the mythological, biblical, and liturgical inscriptions as well as the development of his story in the plot. In the face of it, there’s a hypothesis is that Lins, in a subversive modulation brings to the scene elements of the Eden myth and Christian liturgy but he also highlights the contradictions of a society that privileges appearances, victimizing the woman mainly. In the theoretical-critical articulation a review of the analytical itinerary of the corpus is done, with the help of Nitrini (1987, 2001, 2003, 2004), Andrade (2001, 2004, 2014) and Ribeiro (2016), among others. The concepts of threshold — Benjamin (1987), Gagnebin (2010); Devices and profanation, according to Agamben (2009, 2010, respectively), also guide this research. The theoretical-critical complete this framework itself, brings reflections on the poetic–myth creation according to the thinking of Mielietinski (1987), Eliade (2010), Perrone-Moisés (1998), Benjamin (2013), Derrida (2005) and Bastazin (2006). The methodological course, starting from the narrative structure and the critical fortune of the work, examines the aesthetic inversions operationalized by osmanian writing. The visitor, Osman Lins' first creative gesture despite his myth-poetic features presents through an introspective plot a sharp vision of the manipulation game that sustains the society, a principle that distorts the essence of the being and search to conceal the contradictory nature of power
No conjunto da literatura brasileira, Osman Lins é um nome que se destaca pela qualidade e pela diversidade de sua produção. Romancista, dramaturgo, ensaísta, dentre outras atribuições, o escritor possui um requinte estético bem como uma postura reflexiva em face dos entraves culturais, sociais e políticos do país. Os estudos osmanianos, com frequência, destacam os experimentos romanescos do autor em sua chamada fase de maturidade. Não exclusivamente, a criação anterior a esse período ainda carece de maiores exames críticos, a exemplo do romance de estreia, O visitante (1955), corpus desta pesquisa. Além da interessante urdidura textual, essa obra apresenta uma fortuna crítica modesta, o que enseja este trabalho. Acrescente-se que, em várias ocasiões, o escritor afirma que a atitude cosmogônica, aliada às preocupações com as mazelas nacionais e à reflexão sobre o processo criativo, orientam sua vida e o ofício literário. Isso posto, pergunta-se como essa cosmovisão se presentifica em O visitante. Levando em conta o traçado interdiscursivo da narrativa e a postura crítico-social do romancista, a análise proposta considera as inscrições mitológicas, bíblicas e litúrgicas, bem como seus desdobramentos escriturais no enredo. Diante disso, a hipótese é que Lins, numa modulação subversiva, traz à cena elementos do mito edênico e da liturgia cristã, como também expõe as contradições de uma sociedade que privilegia as aparências, vitimando, principalmente, a mulher. Na articulação crítico-teórica, faz-se uma revisão do itinerário analítico do corpus, ao que se conta com o auxílio de Nitrini (1987; 2001; 2003; 2004), Andrade (2001; 2004; 2014) e Ribeiro (2014), dentre outros. Os conceitos de limiar — Benjamin (1987), Gagnebin (2010); dispositivos e profanação, segundo Agamben (2009; 2010, respectivamente), também orientam a pesquisa. Completam o quadro teórico-crítico da mesma, as reflexões em torno da criação mito-poética conforme o pensamento de Mielietinski (1987), Eliade (2010), Perrone-Moisés (1998), Benjamin (2013), Derrida (2005) e Bastazin (2006). O percurso metodológico, partindo da estrutura narrativa e da fortuna crítica da obra, examina as inversões estéticas operacionalizadas pela escritura osmaniana. Portanto, O visitante, primeiro gesto criativo de Osman Lins, não obstante seus traços mito-poéticos, apresenta, por meio de uma trama introspectiva, uma arguta visão do jogo de manipulação que sustenta a sociedade, princípio que desvirtua a essência do ser e busca ocultar a natureza contraditória do poder

Lack of understanding regarding the role that temporality-pathos plays in Asian American literature leads scholars to misread many textual passages as deviations from the implied authors’ political critiques. This dissertation invites scholars to recognize temporality-focused passages in Younghill Kang’s East Goes West, Carlos Bulosan’s America is in the Heart, and John Okada’s No-No Boy, as part of a pathos formula developed by avant-garde Asian American writers to resist systemic alienations experienced by Asian Americans by diagnosing and treating America’s empathy gap. I find that each of pathae examined – the pathos of finitude, the pathos of idealism, and the pathos of confusion – appears in each of the major primary texts discussed, and that these pathae not only invite similitude-based empathy from a wide readership, but also prompt, via multiple methods, the expansion of empathy. First, the authors use these pathae diagnostically: the pathos of finitude makes visible American imperialism’s destruction of prior ways of life; the pathos of idealism exposes the falsity of the futures promised by liberalism; and the pathos of confusion counters the destructive nationalisms that fractured the era. Second, the authors use these temporality pathae to identify the instrumentalist reasoning underlying these capitalist ideologies and to show how they stunt American empathy. Third, the authors deploy formal and thematic complexities that cultivate empathy-generating faculties of mind and cultivate alternative forms of reasoning.

Texto completo da fonteA first part explores the organisation of the topics and the main genre of the mundane society in the press, applying the social discourse theory. The analysis is based on the perusal of a set of representative daily newspapers (Le Gaulois, Le Figaro) and of weekly and monthly publications (Le Grand monde, La Vie parisienne, Femina notably, as well as around thirty other titles). It shows that the mundane society in the newspaper is constrained by a poetics stemming from the characteristics of press writing: collective writing, periodicity of the publication, text length limitation and reference to reality. Some texts are tempted by fiction, even though they keep a reality-based referential, whereas other texts that are openly fictitious, fit the mundane fiction into the newspaper.
The second part is based on the general conclusion of the first part: the mundane society in the newspaper is a represented society, made of for a distant and anonymous public. With the advent of the medias in the 19th century, the mundane society has entered into the era of mediations and "industrial writing". Some writers, from Bourget to Proust, take these upheavals into account and present the mundane society as a metaphor of the mass media society. This is done following three main axes: the temptation of withdrawal of the fiction into a closed world (psychological and mundane movement impulsed by Goncourt with Cherie, prolonged by Bourget and Hervieux notably); the games of exchange between the novel and the newspaper (Maupassant, Toulet, Legrand, amongst others); and finally, the isolation of the mundane world and the aesthetic work on mediations (Rolland, Colette, Mirbeau, Lorrain et Gide notably). All these writings address the question of sociability at the era of the triumph of mediations: what room is left for the mundane society, for direct encounter, for exchange, in a world of mediation and mass media coverage? for immediate connections in a society of mediated ties? The epilogue proposes a journalistic reading of A la recherche du temps perdu, synthesis-work which inaugurates a modern and sociological perception: it is in the world of the imagined mundane society, distant and represented in the mass media, that the narrator draws the resources for his observation of the world.

Texto completo da fonteAlthough I provide a concise definition of the term "grotesque," my focus is on feminist theoretical approaches to the grotesque. However, whereas feminist theory on the grotesque examines the binary opposition of woman to man, this study shows that the grotesque bypasses the "male/female" dichotomy in the representation of fictional characters. Instead, the sustained contradiction of the central opposition "woman/monster" works to undermine the notion of fictional characterization.
Specifically, this study focuses on the grotesque as a narrative strategy and examines the use of the grotesque in the portrayal of female narrators. The prevalence of female grotesque characters in recent Canadian fiction combined with the rapid growth of interest in the critical concept of the "female grotesque" requires a theoretical analysis of the literature.
In the fiction I examine by Canadian authors Margaret Atwood, Lynn Coady, Barbara Gowdy, Alice Munro, and Miriam Toews, narrators are contradictory. As subjects, they have doubled identities. Authors situate identity ("subjectivity") in the realm of paradox, rather than in the realm of clarity and resolution. As a result, readers and critics must rely on ambiguity and subversion as guides when posing the ultimately irresolvable question "who is speaking?" Through analysis of this fiction, then, I argue for nothing short of a new conceptualization of subjectivity.

Texto completo da fonteENGLISH ABSTRACT: This work investigates characterisation in four modern Zulu novels. The objective of the study is to examine whether or not there is development in the portrayal of characters in recently published Zulu novels. The study is prompted by the view that a high number of novels in African languages have inadequate portrayal of characters (Zulu 1998). Focus has been placed on the following four Zulu novels: Izibiba Ziyeqana, Asikho Ndawo 8akithi, Isidleke Samanqe, and Itshwele Lempangele. The novels were published between 1995 and 1998 and all have won literary prizes in recognition of their high literary qualities. It has been found in the study that the way characters are portrayed in the four novels shows some signs of development. All the chief characters are 'round' in the sense that they change and adapt to changes and circumstances. Even though there are serious problems, the characters are seen to be fighting like ordinary human beings to better their lives. It is also found in the study that antagonists in some novels are round characters. It is concluded that this study identifies positive properties about the development of characterisation in the Zulu novel of the late 1990's.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek karakterisering in vier moderne Zulu novelles. Die hoofdoelstelling van die studie is om vas te stel of daar 'n ontwikkeling in die voorstelling van karakters in onlangs-gepubliseerde Zulu novelles is. Die studie is gemotiveer deur die siening wat bestaan dat 'n groot aantal novelles in Afrikatale 'n onvoldoende voorstelling van karakters toon (Zulu, 1998). Die fokus van die studie val op die volgende vier Zulu novelles: Izibiba Ziyeqana, Asikho Ndawo Bakithi, Isidleke Samanqe en Itshwele Lempangele. Hierdie novelles is gepubliseer tussen 1995 en 1998 en het almal literere pryse gewen ter erkenning van hulle uitstaande letterkundige meriete. Die studie het bevind dat die wyse waarop die karakters voorgestel is in al vier novelles verskeie tekens van ontwikkeling ten opsigte van die Zulu letterkunde toon. AI die hoofkarakters is "rond" in die sin dat hulle verander en aanpas na gelang van veranderinge en omstandighede. Selfs onder ernstige omstandighede, veg die karakters soos gewone mense om hulle lewens te verbeter. Daar is ook in die studie bevind dat die antagoniste in sommige novelies ronde karakters is. Die studie identifiseer positiewe kenmerke t.o.v. die ontwikkeling van karakterisering in die Zulu novelle in die laat 1990's.

Texto completo da fonteThis dissertation inspects how Jonathan Franzen, Don DeLillo, and Jane Smiley present the inconsistencies of the law. These American novelists emplot global escapes into their work as a means to inform notions of liberty and jurisprudence. For these writers, freedom requires the recognition of contradictory---and unanticipated---narratives. "Justice Theory" emerges where media, gambling, performance, and suburban studies intersect with ethics, globalism, and narratology. In Franzen's novel The Corrections and essay collection How to Be Alone, self-validation requires the appreciation of the stories of others. In DeLillo's later works, particularly the plays The Day Room and Valparaiso, justice materializes in terms of isolation and the will to alter personal stories. For Smiley, as construed in her long novels The Greenlanders and Horse Heaven, dynamic responsive actions attend risky, unpredictable encounters in competitive milieus like the racetrack. These authors reveal that executions of justice and the perpetration of injustice involve varied consequences. The law is not only about punishment and recompense. Rather, legality directs the consequences of its applications toward the ideal of justice, which evolves alongside the subjects that it serves and the stories that they relate.

Texto completo da fonteFocussing on selected novels of five post-war English novelists--B. S. Johnson, Doris Lessing, John Berger, Iris Murdoch, and Angus Wilson--I argue that their different responses to the crisis of representation show that it is not a crisis of liberalism alone. Johnson rejects realism for epistemological reasons; Lessing and Berger question it on political grounds; Murdoch and Wilson combine its strengths with a self-reflexive awareness of its weaknesses. I suggest that Murdoch's and Wilson's novels, which argue that fiction does not reflect reality but endows it with meaning and which are at once representational and metafictional, offer the most fruitful ways of acknowledging the crisis of representation while refusing to be paralyzed by it.
