As the central hypothesis for studying the dialectics of cordiality, we find that the use of allegories, metaphors, and dialectical images, among other important matrixes which are present in several Walter Benjamin's writings, convenes for existing issues in Sérgio Buarque de Holanda's Raízes do Brasil and Visão do Paraíso, allowing it to detect major elective affinities between both authors. Those go from a narrative, fragmentary style to the criticism and overcoming necessity both of historical versions and domination forms and practices present in the Brazilian social and political trajectory. When taken in its dialectical sense, cordiality may be read as an existing powerful allegory in SBH's thinking, once it points out the understanding of the Brazilian societal configuration's political and cultural features / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo principal investigar e reconstruir algumas das principais reflexões de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e Walter Benjamin, buscando afinidades eletivas (sinônimo de transversalidades ou convergências teóricas), que encontram sua correspondência maior no tema da cordialidade. Como hipótese central para o estudo da dialética da cordialidade, consideramos que o emprego de alegorias, metáforas e imagens dialéticas, dentre outras matrizes importantes presentes em vários escritos de Walter Benjamin convergem para questões presentes em Raízes do Brasil e Visão do Paraíso de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, permitindo detectar afinidades eletivas importantes entre esses os dois autores. Essas vão desde um estilo narrativo e fragmentário e alcançam a crítica e necessidade de superação das versões históricas difundidas pelas classes dominantes como meio de estabelecer a sua hegemonia sobre os oprimidos. Quando tomada em seu sentido dialético, a cordialidade pode ser lida como uma poderosa alegoria presente no pensamento de SBH, pois aponta para a compreensão das especificidades políticas e culturais da configuração societária brasileira

English: In this thesis I examine the concept of satirical silence as the compositional principle of Karl Kraus’s drama Die letzten Tage der Menschheit to demonstrate the ways in which the features of modern satire introduce the recipient to the construction of its critique. In Kraus’s drama, silence manifests itself twofold: as a reaction to the First World War and as the only remaining form of satire in the context of public war-euphoria and the widespread use of the press and war-coverage as propaganda tools. From the interruption of Kraus’s periodical Die Fackel at the beginning of the war to the satirical treatment of the homefront in his drama, Kraus’s silence represents a performance of imposed powerlessness. By approaching Kraus’s drama with Walter Benjamin’s concept of storytelling, I analyze satirical silence as an appropriate aesthetic response to the prevailing social conditions and thus to the changing character of the public sphere in modern society. Benjamin’s concept of storytelling and his description of incommunicability as a characteristic of post-war society are at the center of my analysis of modern satire as a reception-based literary practice. Given that satire is a social conversation practice between satirist and recipient, I argue that Kraus’s use of drama as a medium for reprocessing the First World War is built upon the ability of the dramatic form to show how silence emerges as the result of a break between the conversation partners of satire. German: In dieser Arbeit beschreibe ich das Konzept des satirischen Schweigens als Gestaltungsform von Karl Kraus’ Drama Die letzten Tage der Menschheit, um hierin die Züge der modernen Satire in der Hinwendung zum Rezipienten zur Formulierung der satirischen Kritik zu erweisen. Das Schweigen manifestiert sich in Kraus’ Drama sowohl als Reaktion gegenüber dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges, wie auch als die einzig verbleibende Gestaltungsform der Satire angesichts des Verlusts ihres Publikums an den Kriegsenthusiasmus und die propagandistisch gestimmte mediale Berichterstattung. Von der Unterbrechung der Publikation seiner Zeitschrift Die Fackel zu Beginn des Krieges hin zur Dokumentation der Heimatfront in seinem Drama bekundet das Schweigen des Satirikers eine Ausdruckskraft in der erzwungenen Ausdruckslosigkeit. Mit Walter Benjamins Konzept des Erzählens analysiere ich das satirische Schweigen als angemessene ästhetische Reaktion auf die gesellschaftlichen Gegebenheiten und somit veränderten Umstände der öffentlichen Rezeption in der modernen Gesellschaft. Benjamins Konzept des Erzählens sowie seine Beschreibung der Unmitteilbarkeit der Nachkriegsgesellschaft bilden die theoretische Fundierung meiner Analyse der modernen Satire als rezeptionsästhetische Kategorie. Ausgehend von dem Verständnis der Satire als ein soziales Gespräch zwischen Satiriker und Rezipient, sehe ich Kraus’ Zuwendung zum Drama als Medium der Aufarbeitung des Ersten Weltkrieges in dem dramatischen Vermögen begründet, das Schweigen als Bruch der Gesprächsteilnehmer, als Bruch der Beziehung von Satire und Öffentlichkeit zu dialogisieren. / Graduate / 2020-09-25

Persistent Pasts: Historical Palimpsests in Nineteenth-Century Prose traces Victorian historical discourse with specific attention to the works of Thomas Carlyle and George Eliot and their relation to historicism in earlier works by Sir Walter Scott and James Hogg. I argue that the Victorian response to the tense relation between the materialist Enlightenment and the idealist rhetoric of Romanticism marks a decidedly ethical turn in Victorian historical discourse. The writers introduce the dialectic of enlightened empiricism and romantic idealism to invoke the historical imagination as an ethical response to the call of the past. I read the dialectic and its invitation to ethics through the figure of the palimpsest. Drawing upon theoretical work on the palimpsest from Carlyle and de Quincey through Gérard Genette and Sarah Dillon, I analyze ways in which the materialist and idealist discourses interrupt each other and persist in one another. Central to my argument are concepts drawn from Walter Benjamin, Emmanuel Levinas, Richard Rorty, and Frank Ankersmit that challenge and / or affirm historical materiality.

L’histoire du concept d’idéologie est riche des différentes définitions qui ont tenté de le circonscrire, en tension entre la description de visions du monde et la dénonciation de la « fausse conscience ». Chez les penseurs regroupés sous le nom d’ « École de Francfort », l’idéologie en vient à équivaloir au phénomène de l’industrie culturelle, c’est-à-dire la mise au service de la raison technique dans la production de la culture. Le statut du cinéma est intéressant à cet égard : non seulement est-ce un art né à l’époque industrielle et indissociable des possibilités techniques offertes par celle-ci, mais il a été mobilisé pour de nombreuses entreprises propagandistes, plus ou moins subtiles. La question directrice de l’interrogation est donc la suivante : selon la théorie critique de l’École de Francfort, le cinéma peut-il être considéré comme de l’art ou est-il confiné au domaine de l’idéologie ? Autrement dit, le cinéma peut-il revendiquer un statut qui ne ferait pas de lui qu’un support de la domination de l’humain par l’humain ? / The history of the concept of ideology is rich in different definitions that have attempted to circumscribe it, in a tension between the description of different worldviews and the denunciation of “false consciousness.” For the thinkers grouped under the name “Frankfurt School” ideology comes to equate the phenomenon of the Culture industry, that is to say, technical reason put at the service of the production of culture. The status of film in interesting in this regard: not only is it an art born in the industrial age and inseparable from the technical possibilities offered by the industry, but it has also been used for numerous, more or less subtle, propagandist undertakings. The leading question of our inquiry is thus the following: according to the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, can film be considered as a genuine form of art or is it confined to the realm of ideology? In other words, can film claim a status which would not make it solely a support of human-over-human domination?

O presente trabalho caracteriza-se por apresentar, pela primeira vez, uma vertente pouco conhecida do escritor gaúcho Caio Fernando Abreu: a poesia. Essa pesquisa participa das discussões levantadas pela Crítica Genética, centrando-se na organização dos manuscritos dos 116 poemas, praticamente todos inéditos, visando a uma publicação, e no acompanhamento do percurso criativo do poeta. Para tanto, essa tese se estrutura em três etapas: fixação dos poemas; estudo das campanhas de escritura através de poemas representativos; análise dos temas da falta, do olhar e da memória, fundamentada nas reflexões de Walter Benjamin, principalmente em Sobre alguns temas em Baudelaire. Nossa proposta é articular a poesia de Caio F. e as discussões acerca de seu processo de escritura, ampliando o olhar da Crítica Genética sobre a produção poética e as possibilidades de abordagens da obra do escritor gaúcho. / This work is characterized by the presentation, for the first time, of an unknown ability of the brazilian writer Caio Fernando Abreu: the poetry. This research considers the discussions raised by Genetic Criticism, focusing on the organization of the manuscripts of the 116 poems, which most of them are unpublished poems, leading to an organized publication of them and to the creative course of the poet. For such, this work is organized in three steps: i) setting of poems; ii) study of the movements of writing considering representative poems and iii) the analysis of the themes: the absence, the view and the memory, based on the reflections of Walter Benjamin, mainly in On Some Motifs of Baudelaire. This proposal is to articulate the poetry of Caio F. and the discussions concerning his writing process, enlarging the view of the Genetic Criticism about his poetical work and the possibilities of considering the legacy of this writer from south Brazil.
