Ο Αριστοτέλης ως λογοτεχνικός κριτικός του αρχαϊκού έπους και της λυρικής ποίησης / Aristotle as literary critic on epic and lyric poetry

Σαραντοπούλου, Φωτεινή 02 February 2011 (has links)
Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή κινήθηκε γύρω από έναν κεντρικό άξονα: την ιστορία και την κριτική της λογοτεχνίας στα δύο μεγάλα γένη της αρχαίας ελληνικής γραμματείας (επική και λυρική ποίηση). Στόχος της είναι η εξέταση της αρχαίας λογοτεχνικής κριτικής στο αριστοτελικό corpus με βάση το στερεότυπο κείμενο, προκειμένου να μελετηθούν αναλυτικά η λειτουργία, η σπουδαιότητα και τα όριά της. Μπορεί ο Αριστοτέλης να ασκεί αμιγώς λογοτεχνική κριτική στο Περὶ ποιητικῆς, στα κεφ. 1-12 του τρίτου βιβλίου του Περὶ ῥητορικῆς, στα βιβλία Α, α, Λ του Μετὰ τὰ Φυσικὰ και ενίοτε σε κάποια άλλα συγγράμματά του, αλλά η παρούσα εργασία στοχεύει στην περαιτέρω ανάλυση, στο μέτρο του δυνατού, όλων των αναφορών του σε κάποιον επικό ή λυρικό ποιητή και στην εξαγωγή χρήσιμων συμπερασμάτων. Η εργασία διαρθρώνεται σε επτά κεφάλαια, ακολουθούν τα συμπεράσματα (8ο κεφάλαιο), έπεται η βιβλιογραφία (πρωτογενής και δευτερογενής) και δύο ευρετήρια παραθεμάτων (αρχαίων και νεότερων κύριων ονομάτων) που βοηθούν στην ανάγνωσή της. / The present doctoral thesis was motivated by a central axis: the history and the criticism of literature in the two big genres of ancient Greek literature (epic and lyric poetry). The main objective of this dissertation is the examination of ancient literary criticism of the corpus of Aristotle which is based on the stereotyped text, so that the function, the importance and its limits are studied analytically. Aristotle exerts constructive literary criticism in the Poetics, in third book of Rhetoric (chapters 1-12), in the books A, a, L of Metaphysics and occasionally in some of his other works, however, the present approach aims at the further analysis, as much as possible, of all reports on an epic or lyric poet and the inference of useful conclusions. The research is divided into seven chapters, the conclusions (ch. 8), the bibliography (primary and secondary) and two indeces passages (ancient and new principal names) that help the interpretation.

Analisamos tanto os textos publicados em jornais, revistas e livros, quanto as teses e dissertações acadêmicas cujo conteúdo revela as várias faces do trabalho jornalístico-literário do escritor paulista. A leitura desses textos permite investigar como o escritor é representado no atual cenário da literatura brasileira e de que modo o seu reaparecimento no mercado literário está sendo tratado pela crítica. Nesse sentido, destacamos a maneira como a crítica de periódicos lida com a memória da obra joãoantoniana e em que medida a crítica universitária contribui para seu estudo. Assim, levantamos alguns aspectos ressaltados pelos estudiosos que ajudam a compreender a obra de João Antônio, adicionando novos elementos a sua fortuna crítica, que se encontra em plena construção no período estudado. Veremos, então, em que momento os críticos dialogam e quais as novas propostas de abordagem do texto joãoantoniano. / This work has for purpose the study and systematization of the pertanining texts to the critical richness for João Antônio, in the period from 1996 to 2006.

The reading of these texts allows to investigate as the writer is represented in the current scene of Brazilian literature and that way as the critical college student contributes for its study.

Além disso, traça-se um panorama analítico das histórias de literatura brasileira publicadas antes e depois d'A Literatura no Brasil, com considerações a respeito de seus autores. Motivou a realização do trabalho, a necessidade sentida de uma releitura da obra de Afrânio Coutinho, salientando que A Literatura no Brasil, sua principal obra, é um projeto escrito a várias mãos, o que faz dela um vasto painel de múltiplas visões, que leva o leitor à absorção de um número maior de pontos-de-vista a respeito do fato literário. / The present dissertation has the work of the literary critic and history scholar Afrânio Coutinho (1911-2000) as its central point, as well as the presentations of his critical method, emphasizing his thoughts about literature as an esthetic phenomenum, leaving behind the positivist approach which studied the literary work from extrinsic values like the author's biography, the historical context in which the work was inserted, among other values, without taking its intrinsic values into account. Besides this, an analytical map of the histories of the Brazilian literature published before and after. A Literatura no Brasil is done, with considerations about its authors. The need to reread the work of Afrânio Coutinho motivated the accomplishment of the dissertation, emphasizing the A Literatura no Brasil, his main work, is a project written by many hands, which makes it a vast panel of multiple visions, that leads the reader to the absorption of a larger number of point-of-view concerning the literary act.

A Queer and Crip Grotesque: Katherine Dunn's

Wiedeman, Megan 22 March 2018 (has links)
The grotesque has long been utilized in literature as a means for subverting societal constraints and inverting constructions of normalcy. Unfortunately, in many instances, it has been constructed at the expense of disabled characters using their embodiment as metaphorical plot devices rather than social and political agents. Criticism of the grotesque’s use of bodily difference has prompted this analytical project in order to rethink disability as socially and politically positioned within texts, rather than simply aesthetics for symbolic means. The aim of this paper is to explore the ways the literary grotesque can be reread using queer theory and crip theory as frameworks for constructing agential disabled embodiments in Katherine Dunn’s Geek Love. Ultimately, the potential of queer and crip interventions necessitates an examination of the systems of power disabled subjects operate within in these narratives.

Literature at the cosmopolitan crossroads : Anis Shivani

Eizerik, Silvia January 2015 (has links)
O momento histórico em que vivemos nos convida a discutir questões sobre o fim das grandes meta-narrativas da modernidade, a economia de mercado e os direitos humanos. Vários autores, no campo literário, têm contribuído para a intensificação desses debates de forma aberta e comprometida. Entre eles está Anis Shivani, escritor paquistanês/estadunidense que atua como poeta lírico, romancista, contista, ensaísta e crítico literário. Avesso a rotulações, ele é um cidadão do mundo com opiniões contundentes sobre as formas de distribuição de poder em nossa época. O corpus de aplicação desta dissertação é seu livro de contos Anatolia e Outras Histórias (2009), onde encontramos um elenco de protagonistas representativos do que Frantz Fanon classifica como "os miseráveis do mundo", pessoas marginalizadas devido a suas crenças, ou à cor de suas peles, os pobres, os imigrantes, trabalhadores ilegais, refugiados, anarquistas, povos indígenas. O objetivo do trabalho é alimentar a discussão sobre este assunto. A dissertação se articula em três capítulos. Os dois primeiros apresentam uma visão panorâmica da problemática social e política ligada ao questionamento acerca da legitimidade do mainstream. O Capítulo Um trata sobre colonialismo, discurso pós-colonial, resistência anticolonial e descolonização; o Capítulo Dois apresenta os pensadores que teorizam sobre essas questões. Como se trata de um estudo com raízes na área de Letras, eu considerei pertinente abrir também um breve espaço para apresentar ideias sobre uma pedagogia cosmopolita. No Capítulo Três faço a crítica aplicada, com foco voltado para Anatólia e Outras Histórias. Após uma apresentação e comentários sobre a estrutura e o âmbito do livro, ofereço minha leitura de três contos, a saber, “Dubai”, “Repatriação” e “Anatólia”. Trata-se de um trabalho politicamente engajado, pois acredito na função social da literatura e no poder que ela tem para modificar o mundo. Encaro a obra de Shivani como única e transgressora, com suas personagens provenientes de culturas distintas e de diferentes épocas, compondo histórias de vida que ilustram a tendência contemporânea de busca por uma literatura mundial, que se pretende cosmopolita, onde percebemos inovações estilísticas como a mistura livre entre inglês e outros idiomas, reversões de narrativa, o uso inteligente de metáforas e a apresentação de pontos de vista aparentemente conflitantes. A pesquisa se volta para o estudo da dissidência, da transgressão, do não conformismo, convidando para o diálogo global. Ela investiga os temas que permeiam as narrativas, como a alienação, os sentimentos sobre estar em um entre-lugar, ou de falta de pertencimento, ou de não se enquadrar, a sensação de estar sendo perseguido, sentida pela maioria das personagens, cuja expectativa é serem aceitos e se sentirem integrados ao ambiente em que residem. Ao término desta pesquisa, espero haver demonstrado o valor da contribuição do universo ficcional criado por Anis Shivani como sendo um pleito cultural caleidoscópico e humano em favor da necessidade de alcançarmos formas mais eficientes de entendimento entre os países e as civilizações de nossa época. Acredito que se existe alguma força capaz de realizar tal façanha, ela vem a partir do canal aberto pela troca de ideias que a Literatura proporciona. / The historical moment we are living in invites us to discuss issues such as the end of the grand meta-narratives of modernity, market economy, and human rights. There are a number of authors, in the literary realm, who trigger this debate in an intense and committed way. One of them is Anis Shivani, a Pakistani-American author who is a lyrical poet, novel and short-story writer, essayist and literary critic. Shivani shuns labels, yet he is a citizen of the world with strong positions about the distribution of power in our time. The corpus of this thesis is Shivani’s short story book Anatolia and Other Stories (2009), in which we meet a cast of protagonists that are representative of what Frantz Fanon calls the “wretched of the earth”, people who do not fit because of their sets of beliefs, or the color of their skins: poor people, immigrants, undocumented workers, refugees, anarchists, indigenous people. The thesis aims at discussing such topics. For that reason, the first two chapters offer a panoramic view of the social and political processes that challenge the legitimacy of the mainstream. Chapter One comments on the issues of Colonialism; Post-Colonial discourse, Anti-Colonial resistance and Decolonialization. Chapter Two presents the thinkers who theorize upon such questions. As this thesis is written from within the realm of a Letters graduate course, I considered it important to open a space, in Chapter Two, for the discussion of a Cosmopolitan pedagogy. Chapter Three, the second section of the work, closes the focus of the research on Anatolia and Other Stories. After the presentation of the author and a comment on the structure and scope of the book, I offer my analysis of three of the short-stories, namely “Dubai”, “Repatriation” and “Anatolia.” This reading is politically committed, because I believe in the social role of literature and in its power to change the world. I see Shivani’s as a unique and transgressive kind of literature. Anatolia and Other Stories introduces characters coming from a variety of cultures and time periods, whose life stories emphasize the contemporary trend towards a world literature, which intends to be cosmopolitan, through the use of stylistic innovations, such as the free mixture between English and other languages, narrative reversals, a clever use of metaphors and apparently opposing points of view. This thesis focuses on the elements of dissent, transgression, and non-conformism, which call for the globalization of dialogue. It investigates the discussion of themes that permeate the narratives, such as alienation, the sense of in-betweenness, of belonging, of outsiderness, the reality of persecution experienced by most of the characters, who long for integration. At the end of the work, I hope to have substantiated the importance of Anis Shivani’s contribution in providing a kaleidoscopic, humanistic, cultural and artistic plea for the urgency and necessity of a better understanding among countries and civilizations.I believe in the power of Art to fulfill such a delicate task.
