Identidades barrocas : visões da América em Alejo Carpentier e Severo Sarduy

Alves, Luciane da Silva January 2014 (has links)
Durante o inicio do século XX, se intensifica na literatura latino-americana o interesse pela expressão e formação de identidades. Os escritores procuram os elementos mais adequados para descrever as particularidades e contradições dessa região, ainda bastante influenciada pela cultura europeia, na qual os resquícios de colonialismo se misturam com os elementos regionais. Nessa perspectiva, surge o que CHIAMPI (1994) chama de “síndrome do barroco”, o reaparecimento desta arte, reinventada e contextualizada no período contemporâneo, como forma de descrição da realidade americana e de suas contradições. Essa nova onda barroca revela o mal estar da cultura, suas crises e sua desordem, e a necessidade de representação deste contexto. O neobarroco procura enfatizar o desequilíbrio, a tensão e a fragmentação e diversidade da sociedade, criticando valores e concepções tradicionais como forma de “desmascarar” os ritos sociais e a cultura. Com base nestas ideias, a análise presente neste texto privilegia as concepções identitárias das propostas literárias de Alejo Carpentier e Severo Sarduy, mostrando as diferentes formas de pensamento a respeito da realidade americana nestes autores cubanos que expressam, através do barroco, suas visões de América. / Durante el siglo XX, se intensifica en la literatura latinoamericana el interés por la expresión y la formación de identidades.

The Hostile Tropics: Towards a Postcolonial Discourse of Climate

Banful, Akua A. January 2022 (has links)
This dissertation argues that climate is both a meteorological reality and an ideological term that operates in the discursive matrix of empire. Nowhere was this more perceptible than the tropics, which were the most prolific theater for conquest and colonization, generating discourses that traveled across empires, constructing the tropics as a region of untold wealth that was hostile to European health. This dissertation considers how figurations of the climate in works set across the tropics from 1899 to 1992 negotiated the ideological paradoxes that surrounded the end of empire, the political and aesthetic project of decolonization, and a postcolonial reckoning with Atlantic World Slavery. Through readings of works by Joseph Conrad, E.M. Forster, Alejo Carpentier, Pepetela, and Caryl Phillips, I show how colonial theorizations of the tropics as a counter-civilizational force resonated across British, Spanish, and Portuguese discourses of the tropics that cut across Africa, South Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. This shared theorization, which imagines tropical climates as destructive to the trappings of European colonial modernity, interrogates the stability of empire and becomes a means to imagine alternate political realities.

Deseo mimético y contemplación estética en El siglo de las luces de Alejo Carpentier

Zeballos Rebaza, Roberto 01 September 2022 (has links)
La presente investigación tiene como objeto de estudio la novela El siglo de las luces de Alejo Carpentier. Su punto de partida es una lectura centrada no tanto en los asuntos específicamente históricos que propone la novela, sino en aquellos aspectos de su escritura que la vinculan con otras grandes novelas europeas producidas dentro del moderno paradigma de “literatura” que, de acuerdo con Jacques Rancière, tomó el lugar de la antigua poética de la representación como concepción de la creación o el quehacer poéticos. Partiendo de las propuestas teóricas de Erich Auerbach, Jacques Rancière y René Girard, he llevado a cabo un análisis de la escritura literaria en El siglo de las luces, y de la manera en que dicha escritura representa la acción y el discurso de los personajes, que ha tenido como finalidad establecer hasta qué punto los desafíos y las paradojas, formales y temáticos, que caracterizan al moderno paradigma de “literatura” influyen en el tratamiento ficcional de los acontecimientos históricos en los que se enmarca el relato de las trayectorias de los protagonistas, Sofía y Esteban.

El imaginario colombino : egoescritura, creación y memoria histórica en Carpentier, Posse y Roa Bastos

Houde, Caroline 20 April 2018 (has links)
La présente thèse de doctorat vise l’étude de trois romans hispano-américains contemporains consacrés à la représentation de l’imaginaire suscité autour de la figure de Christophe Colomb et de son projet : L’Harpe et l’ombre (1979) d’Alejo Carpentier, Les chiens du paradis (1983) d’Abel Posse et Veille de l’amiral (1992) d’Augusto Roa Bastos. Rattachée aux réflexions sur le « Nouveau roman hispano-américain » et à la notion de postmodernité, mon étude prétend offrir une approche originale aux trois fictions, en démontrant la particularité de choisir Christophe Colomb à ce moment précis de l’Histoire, c’est-à-dire, aux alentours de la date symbolique de 1992 et des commémorations du Cinquième Centenaire de la « Découverte ». À partir d’une perspective sociocritique — basée sur les écrits de Pierre Bourdieu, Pierre. V. Zima, Claude Duchet et Edmond Cros — mon travail démontre comment le personnage de Christophe Colomb ainsi que son entreprise de découverte agissent comme catalyseurs chez les trois romanciers, qui réélaborent les voyages et la vie de l’Amiral avec l’intention de transposer dans leurs récits leurs propres existences, leurs conjectures sur l’écriture de la fiction en Amérique hispanique ainsi que leurs versions historiques originales. Mon approche critique se justifie par le désir d’offrir une analyse textuelle détaillée des trois œuvres intégrantes de mon corpus —qui a été escamotée par plusieurs chercheurs, dû à un consensus implicite chez eux de définir les caractéristiques du «nouveau» phénomène du roman historique hispano-américain de la fin du XXe siècle, et à la nécessité de souligner la perspective postmoderne des dites fictions. / This dissertation reviews imaginary representations in three Spanish American novels dedicated to the figure of Christopher Colombus and his travel project: Alejo Carpentier’s The Harp and the Shadow (1979), Abel Posse’s The Dogs of Paradise (1983) and Augusto Roa Bastos’s Vigil of the Admiral (1992). Pertaining to the reflections on the New Historical Novel in Spanish America and the notion of postmodernism, my work aims to offer an original way to approach these works, one which is more centred on demonstrating the particular task of choosing Colombus at that specific time of History, that is, near the symbolic year 1992 and the “Discovery of America” 500 years’ commemoration. From a sociocritical approach —based on works of Pierre Bourdieu, Pierre V. Zima, Claude Duchet, and Edmond Cros— my analysis demonstrates how Columbus and his enterprise of discovery act as catalysts on the three writers, who reproduce their own version of the Admiral’s travels and life, with the intention of transposing the tales of their individual existences in the plot, of speculating about writing fiction in Hispanic America, and of reinventing original historiographies. My analytical orientation is due to the desire for a larger dissection of the three texts that constitute my corpus, which had been put aside by researchers, due to a consensus on defining the common characteristics of the “new” phenomena of the historical novel at the end of twentieth century and on underlining the postmodern angle of those fictions. / La presente tesis de doctorado realiza el estudio de tres novelas hispanoamericanas contemporáneas dedicadas a la representación del imaginario colombino: El arpa y la sombra (1979) de Alejo Carpentier, Los perros del paraíso (1983) de Abel Posse y Vigilia del Almirante (1992) de Augusto Roa Bastos. Vinculado a las reflexiones sobre la “Nueva novela histórica hispanoamericana” y a la noción de posmodernidad, mi estudio pretende ofrecer una aproximación original a esas tres ficciones, al demostrar la particularidad de elegir a Cristóbal Colón en este momento específico de la Historia, esto es, alrededor de la fecha simbólica de 1992 y la conmemoración del Quinto Centenario del “Descubrimiento”. A partir de una perspectiva sociocrítica —basada en obras de Pierre Bourdieu, Pierre V. Zima, Claude Duchet y Edmond Cros— mi trabajo demuestra cómo la figura de Cristóbal Colón y su empresa descubridora actúan como catalizadores en los tres novelistas, que reelaboran los viajes y la vida del Almirante con la intención de plasmar en sus narraciones sus propias existencias, sus conjeturas sobre el acto de escribir ficción en Hispanoamérica y sus versiones históricas originales. Mi metodología crítica se debe al deseo de ofrecer un análisis textual detallado de las tres obras integrantes de mi corpus —el cual ha sido escamoteado por muchos investigadores, debido a un consenso implícito en ellos de definir las características del “nuevo” fenómeno de la novela histórica hispanoamericana hacia finales del siglo XX y de subrayar la perspectiva posmoderna de esas ficciones—.

Le "réel merveilleux" chez Alejo Carpentier, René Depestre et Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Fauchier, Joël 01 October 2002 (has links) (PDF)
Notre travail naît d'une ambition : proposer une définition du réel merveilleux, et déterminer à cette fin s'il s'agit d'un genre littéraire, ou plutôt d'un ensemble de textes unis par un mode de rapport au monde. A cet effet, nous interrogeons les textes de trois auteurs majeurs du réel merveilleux caraïbe : du cubain Alejo Carpentier, de l'Haïtien René Depestre et du Colombien Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Notre démarche s'intéresse à la visée littéraire du réel merveilleux comme à sa visée anthropologique. Nous cherchons à déterminer chez ces trois auteurs la part du fantastique et la part du merveilleux, souvent en conflit dans leurs textes. Mais nous mettons aussi en lumière les enjeux historiques et culturels de leur écriture. De notre étude, il ressort que le réel merveilleux exprime, à travers des conflits narratifs, les contradictions qui parcourent le monde caraïbe, partagé entre les déchirures de l'Histoire, et l'utopie du Mythe. D'une part il ouvre sur un monde terrifiant : chaos tellurique où se désagrègent les repères spatio-temporels, hantise de la figure du métis, perception enfin d'une histoire pressentie comme un monstre. D'autre part, il ouvre sur ses propres mythes, qui sont souvent des mythes européens revisités : perception cosmique de l'univers, mythologie euphorique du métissage, réconciliation de l'homme avec le monde par une écriture qui conjugue poésie et carnavalesque. Qu'est-ce que donc que le réel merveilleux ? Non pas un genre littéraire ni une esthétique qui se confinerait dans "un réalisme magique" empreint d'artifice, mais plutôt une expression littéraire propre à l'Amérique latine et notamment aux Caraïbes, qui traduit les terreurs comme les aspirations d'une culture et développe sa quête identitaire aux confins de l'Histoire et du Mythe.

Cuba and the neobaroque: twentieth-century reformations of Cuban identity

Cruikshank, Stephen 27 June 2013 (has links)
This thesis project explores the connection between Cuban identity and the twentieth-century Neobaroque. The paper approaches the Neobaroque as a concept that reoriginates or "refracts" culture, implying a relationship between Baroque forms and post-colonial Latin America that creates a transformation of cultural expression. Furthermore, the Neobaroque is seen relating to questions of cultural identity, post-colonialism, transculturation, mestizaje, and Latin American modernity. The Neobaroque's relevancy with Cuba is stipulated in twentieth-century writings of three Cuban authors known as the Cuban triumvirate: José Lezama Lima, Alejo Carpentier, and Severo Sarduy. Similar themes of these writers concerning the Neobaroque's connection with the urban environment of Havana as well as connections to José Martí's writing Nuestra América are highlighted as key components connecting the Neobaroque with Cuban culture. / Graduate / 0336 / 0626 / scruiksh@uvic.ca

Téma zkázy světů v hispanoamerické literatuře / The Theme of the Destruction of a World in the Hispanic American Literature

Flanderka, Milan January 2016 (has links)
(in English) This thesis focuses on the theme of the destruction of a world in the Hispanic American literature. Its principal part is a detailed analysis of the novels The Villagers, written by the Ecuadorian author Jorge Icaza, and The Kingdom of this World, written by the Cuban novelist Alejo Carpentier. Additional parts of the thesis are a concise outline of significant literary works which include the theme of the destruction of a world and a brief corpus analysis. The analysis compares the frequency of the usage of several words which are connected with the theme in the Hispanic American and Spanish literature. The thesis aims to answer the following questions: Is the theme of the destruction of a world characteristic for the Hispanic American literature? In which forms does it occur? How is the theme demonstrated in the literary works, and what are its features? The thesis also examines the relation between the Hispanic American reality and the presence of the theme in the writings of the authors born in that part of the World. The relation between the analysed literary works and the historical background of the period in which it was written is important for the theses as well as selected facts of the life stories of the authors. To a certain extent, it determined their literary output.

Návrat baroka v hispanoamerickém románu 20. století - Asturias, Carpentier, Roa Bastos / The Return of the Baroque in Hispano-American Novel of the 20th Century - Asturias, Carpentier, Roa Bastos

Doležalová, Barbora January 2015 (has links)
The diploma thesis "The Return of the Baroque in Hispano-American Novel of the 20th Century - Asturias, Carpentier, Roa Bastos" examines Baroque motifs and principles in the modern 20th century Hispanic-American novel. It explains how these traits alter in contrast to the historical Baroque, how they are modified or what other functions they acquire. An attempt was made to critically rethink and re-evaluate the literary theories dealing with the reappearance of the Baroque in Hispanic America, as we consider their approach to be generalising and reductive. The interpretative method is based on Josef Vojvodík's Povrch, skrytost a ambivalence and namely how it addresses the manner in which the Baroque, Mannerism and avant-garde relate to one another. A characterisation of the American Baroque as such has been drafted and an attempt to capture the differences between the European Baroque has been made. The essayistic work of Alejo Carpentier is treated with an emphasis on the relationship of the (Neo)Baroque and magic realism. Carpentier wrongly attributes to the continent what he installs through his own optics without realising that such an approach might be itself described as being Baroque. The interpretative part provides a linguistic, thematic and motivic analysis of Baroque traits in a choice...

The nature of the marvelous in René Depestre’s Hadriana dans tous mes rêves

Belleroche, Jean Élie, 1968- 26 July 2011 (has links)
My goal is to study the nature of the Marvelous in René Depestre's Hadriana dans tous mes rêves. I want to demonstrate that René Depestre, in his novel, combines a number of surrealist or neo-surrealist premises that have influenced him as a Haitian writer. This goes beyond differences that can be discerned between the "Surrealist marvelous" endorsed by André Breton and the surrealists, and Alejo Capentier's "marvelous real"later proposed by Jacques Stephen Alexis as "marvelous realism" Depestre adapts Haitian natives' perceptions deep-rooted in their historical and social, cultural and religious past and ever-existing political and economical struggle. Taking into account both the surrealist perspective and the Haitian context, I shall address the complexity of the concept of the Marvelous and discuss Depestre's use of "zombification"as a form of metamorphosis, which preserves the mystical nature of Vodou as a religion that syncretizes the Roman Catholic ritual of exorcism of the Christian West and the animist and magical practices inherited from Africa. Scholars have explored the Marvelous and marvelous realism in Depestre's works as a whole, but not in Hadriana dans tous mes rêves specifically. The exclusive nature of this study will show that Depestre draws from Haiti's complex cultural ethos as well as from surrealism'es key principles, to create a hybrid Marvelous typical of Haiti and Depestre'es aesthetic as a writer. / text
