Trata-se de uma das realizações mais originais da prosa surrealista, celebrizada principalmente pelo capítulo "A Passagem da Ópera", devido à riqueza e espontaneidade de suas imagens. A tradução é acompanhada por notas de rodapé da tradutora que esclarecem para o leitor certos problemas colocados pelo texto, ora de natureza lingüística, ora referentes a questões ligadas à própria história do movimento surrealista. Além disso, dois textos curtos da autora acompanham a obra traduzida. O primeiro deles é um prefácio que faz um breve apanhado do nascimento do Surrealismo na França, das relações de Aragon com o movimento e do significado dessa tradução, no Brasil, 65 anos após a edição original; esse prefácio aponta também para alguns temas fundamentais d¿O Camponês, relacionando o flâneur surrealista com a flânerie baudelairiana. Finalmente, o texto que encerra o trabalho é um relato resumido de como foram resolvidas certas dificuldades impostas por essa tradução. / Abstract: Not informed. / Mestrado / Teoria Literaria / Mestre em Letras

"Variation is one of the oldest and most elemental types of music, beloved and practised by all musicians since the early lute and keyboard composers." The principle of the variation is that of "variety within unity, secured by the reproduction of limited musical material in changing aspects and is fundamental to composition." Typical instances are the use of fugal themes in changing combinations and with changing counter-material; continuous sequential expansion of a single motif in the baroque sonata or suite; the symphonic development in classical sonata form; ornamentation, compression, extension or elaboration of recapitulated sections. Intro., p. 1.

The influence of the pre-Civil War Southwestern humorists on the work of William Faulkner has long been hypothesized. But it has received scant critical attention, much of it erroneous or so general as to be almost meaningless. While Faulkner's total vision is more than merely humorous, humor is a significant part of that vision. And the importance of frontier humor to Faulkner's art is further substantiated by the fact that many of his grotesque passages derive from elements of this humor. Frontier humor flourished from I830 to I860, and while a large group of men then flooded American newspapers with contributions, it now survives in anthologies and the book-length collections of its most prominent writers — Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, Joseph Glover Baldwin, Johnson Jones Hooper, William Tappan Thompson, Thomas Bangs Thorpe, and George Washington Harris. Their writings illustrate the genre's growth from mere regionalism in eighteenth century diction to the robust and masculine humor in the frontiersman's own language. Harris is the best of these humorists because he has a better sense of incongruity and consistently tells his stories in the earthy vernacular of the frontiersman; and Faulkner himself admires Sut Lovingood, principle character-cum-raconteur of Harris's best work. Therefore, in this thesis I focus on Harris's Sut Lovingood in relation to the Snopes trilogy of Faulkner — his longest unified work and a "chronicle” of Yoknapatawpha County with much frontier humor in it. A major parallel between Faulkner and Harris is their similar use of the story-within-a-story device and their similar technical rendering of the highly figurative and even in Harris's time somewhat stylized language of the frontier. Their common Southern heritage and the lack of change in the post-bellum Southern backwoodsman conduces to a similar milieu. Harris's and Faulkner's recurrent theme of retribution derives from the frontiersman's individualism and from his concern for at least the rudiments of society. Both authors create a large number of frontier characters at and their principal frontier characters are at once superb story tellers and epitomize the best ideals of the American frontier. The purpose of this thesis, then, is to examine the ways in which Faulkner parallels Harris's frontier humor. Having established Harris as the best writer in his group, I discuss the two authors' structures and techniques, their milieus and themes, and their characters. The trilogy's similarities with and deviations from Harris's Sut Lovingood help to illuminate Faulkner's artistry as well as to suggest the strength of Harris's influence on Faulkner. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

Though Kenneth Burke has often been dismissed as a brilliant but idiosyncratic thinker, this dissertation will argue that he is actually a precocious systems theorist. The systemic and systematic aspects of Burke’s work will be demonstrated by comparing it to the General Systems Theory (GST) of biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy. Though beginning from very different starting points, Bertalanffy and Burke develop similar aims, methods, and come to remarkably similar conclusions about the nature and function of language. The systemic nature of Burke’s language philosophy will also become evident through an analysis of the Burkean corpus. Burke’s first book contains several breakthrough ideas that set him irrevocably upon the path of a systemic theory of symbolic action. Burke’s next book, influenced by GST-inspired biology, seeks to understand the nature of associative networks by employing an organic metaphor. Burke’s interest in systems comes from his desire to repair the cultural system crumbling around him as a result of the Depression. Consequently his next book, Attitudes Toward History, studies what happens to such “orientations” (i.e., the systems by which humans classify and evaluate the world) during epistemological crises. The Philosophy of Literary Form is concerned primarily with the function of these orientations. In A Grammar of Motives Burke seeks to understand the basis for transformation of these evaluative systems, and in A Rhetoric of Motives he demonstrates how these transformations are used to persuade. Burke next turns his attention to understanding a small part of the system, a theological doctrine, in The Rhetoric of Religion. Burke’s theory appears plausible when compared to and supplemented by GST and the related self-organizing system theory. Furthermore, a paradigm shift to non-mechanistic cognitive theory allows us to refine and extend Burke’s intuitive theory of symbolic action. The final chapter will argue that symbolic action is the manipulation of the quality space, which is a multi-dimensional model for the super-system composed of mental, linguistic and cultural sub-systems. In mental systems, skeletal information structures called schemas combine to form simple models, which in turn combine to form a model of the world. Similarly, a culture can be seen as a system of schemas held in common by the group. The linguistic system labels, transmits and thus evokes these schemas. The primary means by which the quality space becomes reconfigured is through metaphor, which creates new schemas, and modifies the connections between schemas (and thus the position and relative value of a schema). Metaphor, therefore, is the basis of symbolic action. This systemic theory of symbolic action may be modeled by Connectionist networks. These analogical neural networks provide a model for how brains form and associate categories and support Burke’s assertion that thought is primarily analogical and categorical, thus affording the means for refining Burke’s theory of symbolic action. Ultimately, such a theory may provide a unified field theory for rhetoric, showing how various symbolic action strategies work and interrelate. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

The aim of this paper is not to disprove previous interpretations of Wilder's work, but to enlarge on them. The problem is not that the opinions of the early critics and many of the later ones were incorrect; the were merely incomplete. This paper shall attempt to show that Wilder's major thematic material falls into two interlocking and overlapping groups. Repeatedly Wilder deals with the relationship of man to something beyond himself, and the relationship of man to individual man and to mankind.

This study analyzes these stories in their original and later forms, both to discover the types of changes Faulkner made and to determine whether or not he followed any pattern in the revisions.

A perspectiva trazida pelos poemas de Cardozo recoloca a questão da modernidade no país, vista não apenas do ângulo de um autor local/regional, mas sobretudo de uma das muitas modernidades propicia das pelo projeto de expansão do capitalismo intersocietário. É nesse entendimento que a Cidade Poética de Cardozo possui um subtítulo mais restritivo: "elegia uma modernidade". Os poemas analisados se situam, prioritariamente, entre as décadas de 20 e 40, em função do resgate poético da cidade do Recife, elaborado por Cardozo. Assim, um capítulo destinado ao resgate da memória cultural pernambucana, intitulado "A visão poética da paisagem urbana" enfeixa os poemas que tematizam a paisagem cultural, abalada pelo desintegração dos monumentos artísticos e dos espaços antigos. Um outro capítulo intitulado "O clima saturnino da cidade poética: entre o heroísmo do passado e o do presente" organiza e dá voz aos poemas que liberam o mito do heroísmo pernambucano, resultante das lutas autonomistas de 1917 e 1924. O terceiro e último capítulo é uma conclusão das leituras anteriores, definindo a lírica de Cardozo como uma via alternativa entre o Regionalismo nordestino e o Modernismo da década de 20. / Abstract: Not informed. / Doutorado / Teoria Literaria / Doutor em Letras
