[pt] Em Estudos em vermelho: caminhos do enigma, estabelecemos um diálogo entre o romance policial em sua configuração clássica e narrativas contemporâneas que se apropriam de elementos estruturantes fundadores, reinventando um novo estatuto e novas funções para a figura do narrador, do personagem do detetive e o seu objeto de investigação, o enigma. Neste diálogo são aprofundados os pressupostos que sustentam as motivações e os caminhos privilegiados na busca de soluções para desvendar enigmas em analogia à função do cientista, comprometido com diversas formas de construção de conhecimento. / [en] In Studies in scarlet: roads to the enigma, our aim is to propose a dialogue between the Poesque detective story and its elaborations and the subversion of the classical genre by a contemporary form that reshapes the seeeming dead-end racionality and its basic elements, such as the narrator, the detective and his object of investigation, the enigma. Throughout this dialogue the basic motivations and means privileged in the search for solutions to the enigma are paralleled to that of the cientist´s in his commitment to the distinct modes of construction of knowledge.

[pt] Esta tese consiste na abordagem crítica de narrativas literárias que performam uma dicção autobiográfica afeta ao modo ficcional, através do qual são rescindidos os tradicionais pactos em torno da identidade escritor-narrador e os pressupostos de autenticidade e sinceridade subjacentes a processos de comunicação que envolvem as memórias narradas. Trata-se dos ego-escritos ficcionais, cujo investimento estético se evidencia na simultânea afirmação e oscilação na construção identitária da primeira pessoa do singular, fundada numa discursividade que se vale de dispositivos do simulado e do falso para desestabilizar os limites tradicionais entre os universos intra e extra diegéticos tradicionais sem apagá-los, mas, ao contrário, acentuar sua diferença. Os egoescritos comparecem, assim, na cena literária contemporânea como um espaço narrativo questionador do estatuto do autobiográfico, não só pela refutação do seu modelo representativo, mas pelo seu devir-cartografia, ou seja, sua atualização escritural como sistema autopoiético aberto a experimentações e intervenções discursivas diversas. Para efetuar uma investigação consistente dos ego-escritos ficcionais esta tese se apropria de contribuições conceituais emigradas da Geofilosofia de Gilles Deleuze e Felix Guattari e da vertente da Sociologia capitaneada por Niklas Luhmann, apresentando uma rentabilidade que estende seu alcance desde o plano da análise literária - em particular nas produções recentes dos escritores John Barth, Silviano Santiago e Rosa Montero - até outras manifestações estéticas, como a cinematográfica e a as artes plásticas, que nesta tese figuram como suporte para melhor visibilidade da dinâmica nomadológica da primeira pessoa. / [en] This thesis investigates literary narratives wherein autobiographical diction allows itself to be affected by fictional elements. These fictional ego-writings stand upon a breach of traditional autobiographical pact as well as the claims of authenticity and honesty which underlie processes of communication entailing narrated memories. Fictional ego-writings`s decisive aesthetic investment becomes evident in the simultaneous affirmation and oscillation of difference within identity constructions of the first person of singular - its discursivity relying upon fakery and simulation. These proceedings destabilize traditional borders between inter and extra diegetic universes - albeit without effacing them - but rather by emphasizing their difference. Fictional ego-writings come upon contemporary literary scene as provocative narrative spaces, questioning the very claims upon which autobiographical writings are founded. This accomplishment is not a mere refutation of their model, but indeed the narrative`s space of becomingcartography. In this sense, fictional ego-writings operate as open Autopoietic systems, susceptible to discursive experimentations and interventions. These investigations rely upon concepts borrowed from Gilles Deleuze`s and Felix Guattari`s Geophilosophy as well as certain notions derived from Niklas Luhmann`s sociological theories, the goal being not only to utilize them in a context of literary studies - i.e. readings of particular works of such authors as John Barth, Silviano Santiago and Rosa Montero - but also to expand the grasp of these theorizations by applying them to other forms of artistic manifestations, such as cinema and contemporary arts, in which the nomadological dynamics of the first person is prominent.

O propósito desta dissertação consiste em analisar o livro Antonio, de Beatriz Bracher, à luz do trágico. A história é uma saga familiar transgeracional que registra a decadência de uma família da burguesia paulistana durante o século XX. A hipótese que orienta a análise é a de que algo inconciliável se manifesta na vida de um de seus membros que ao viajar, rumo ao sertão mineiro, sucumbe às próprias escolhas, marcando negativamente a vida de todos à sua volta. O sujeito contemporâneo vive a falência das grandes narrativas do século XX, como a frustração das ideias libertárias da década de 60 e 70 e, de alguma maneira, sente-se desamparado, perdido diante de um futuro incerto. Esse cenário de crise existencial seria fértil para ressurgimento da tragédia por meio de traços ou escombros trágicos na ficção contemporânea. Por último, a partir do conceito de literatura política, pretende-se verificar se Antonio concentra questões relevantes sobre o Brasil contemporâneo sem apelar para visão conciliadora no âmbito da ficção, ou seja, problematizando a modernidade à brasileira ou as suas ideias modernizantes e modernizadoras / The purpose of this study it to analyze the book Antonio, by Beatriz Bracher, on the tragic aspect. The story is a transgenerational family saga about the decline of a bourgeois family in São Paulo during the 20th century. The hypothesis that guides this analysis is that something irreconcilable happens in the life of one of its members, while he is traveling to a very arid region in the state of Minas Gerais, he has succumbed to his own choices changing negatively the lives of everyone around him. The contemporary individual lives the ruin of the great narratives of the 20th century, such as the frustration of the libertarian ideas of the 60s and 70s, and somehow feels helpless and lost about an uncertain future. This existential crisis scenario could be fertile for the revival of the tragedy with vestige or \"tragic wreckage\" in contemporary fiction. Finally, from the concept of political literature, this study aims to verify if Antonio concentrates relevant questions about the contemporary Brazil without resorting to a conciliatory view within fiction, which is, questioning Brazilian modernity - or its modernizing ideas

O livro de contos Il gioco del rovescio, do escritor italiano Antonio Tabucchi, publicado em 1981, marca o início de uma poética, segundo o autor. Com o título de poetica dei buchi, Tabucchi propõe uma literatura fragmentária, com uma predileção pelos vazios, pela construção narrativa a partir destes buracos e fissuras, por histórias incompletas. Esta poética é reafirmada e acrescida de pequenas nuances em Piccoli equivoci senza importanza e LAngelo Nero, coletâneas de contos publicadas respectivamente em 1985 e 1991. Neste trabalho, procuramos analisar estas obras discutindo alguns de seus temas e procedimentos estruturais, verificando sua recorrência e procurando dialogar com concepções teóricas ligadas à pós-modernidade literária. / The collection Il gioco del rovescio, of the italian writer Antonio Tabucchi, published in 1981, marks, according to the author, the beginning of a poetics. With the title poetica dei buchi, Tabucchi suggests a fragmented literature, that shows a preference for empty, for narrative constructions starting from these buchi and fissures, for incompleted stories. That poetics is reaffirmed and strengthened by subtle nuances in Piccoli equivoci senza importanza and LAngelo Nero, collections of stories published in 1985 and in 1991. In this work, we try to analyze these collections, discussing some of their themes and structural processes, verifying their recurrence and trying to dialogue with the theoretical conceptions related to postmodernity in literature.

This dissertation examines contemporary American novelists whose depictions of how humans relate to the natural world challenge dominant Western cultural assumptions about human autonomy. My analysis centers on Marilynne Robinson, Louise Erdrich, and Richard Powers. Scholarship has largely understood these writers to be undertaking human-centered, social projects related to gender, ethnicity, and technology. However, in my reading, their works demonstrate how the formal elements of fiction—character and plot development, narrative voice and perspective, and recurring imagery—can be used to develop what I call a coextensive vision of the environment, one which shifts emphasis from the autonomous human self to a perception of how embodied individuals are embedded in larger networks and interchanges. In developing this claim, I suggest the environmental potential of the novel, a genre that has received short shrift in ecocriticism. Chapter One considers the novels of Marilynne Robinson, focusing on Housekeeping. Robinson’s nature imagery is highly metaphorical, but I argue that her writing also works on what we might call a material register: it persistently gestures toward an external world that resists enclosure through language, a natural world with which the human body is entangled. Accordingly, I argue, Robinson’s work develops an ecological vision wherein humans are coextensive with the environment. Chapter Two centers on Louise Erdrich’s boundary imagery. I first explore the recurrence of imagery of harmful divisions across Erdrich’s whole body of work. This is, I contend, a pattern that Erdrich uses to critique radical individualism. I further argue that Erdrich draws on the traditional trickster of Anishinaabe storytelling to reinvigorate coextensive connections through pleasure and humor, generating a tribal kincentric ecology emphasizing reciprocity between interrelated beings. Chapter Three closes the project by reading Richard Powers, whose work offers a more frightening vision of what it means to be inseparable from nature compared with Robinson and Erdrich: in Gain, the primary link between humans and environment involves shared toxicity. I explore how Powers’s preferred two-stranded narrative structure develops the reader’s ecological awareness. However, I propose, Gain ultimately problematizes the ethical promise of interconnection, suggesting that knowledge of coextension spurs negative affect and disengagement. / 2020-02-14T00:00:00Z

This study examines the use of the fairy tale intertext in contemporary Canadian womens fiction. In using specific fairy tale plots, themes, motifs, and/or characters within their works of fiction, women writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries purposefully express their goal for the revival and continuity of the female narrative voice and sense of agency. To explore the fairy tale-fiction relationship, Margaret Atwoods Alias Grace and Anne Hberts Kamouraska are approached from what fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes has constructed as the theory of contamination of the fairy tale genre. The fairy tale genres integration into contemporary fiction represents an important development where fairy tale narratives are critically reread so as to bring out deeper meanings for the contemporary audience. / Comparative Literature
