No. of bitstreams: 1 Raquel Andrade Machado.pdf: 1088720 bytes, checksum: 5c9a5a05c3beee108a259b651669d1f1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-22 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The present research aims at analyzing the role of the narrator in Iaiá Garcia (1878), by Machado de Assis, on the threshold between reliability and unreliability, aspiring to ambivalence and irony. Pointed by the critical tradition as an in-between novel from the author’s romantic and realist phases, the question that guides this research is that of investigating whether, and to which extent, it would be possible to detect in the narrative structure, especially in the narrator’s point of view, this transitional place between the two aesthetic-literary paradigms by observing the characters Iaiá Garcia, Estela and Jorge – which form the amorous triangle in the plot. We assumed the hypothesis that the narrator has a preponderant role in the construction of the narrative by positioning itself halfway between omniscience and loss of control over the characters, by conveying a dialogic discourse that highlights irony. Furthermore, this is what we could call a chess-player narrator, one who condones the female characters’ – Estela and Iaiá – moves in the chess game; one who detaches itself from the enunciation to the enunciated – chapter XII –, and one whose focus is on the amorous triangle Estela-Jorge-Iaiá – the chess piece used by the ironist narrator to criticize romantic love, with its excesses and fanciful idealizations, and to project another sort of love, driven by reason and logic. As theoretical underpinning, we used Wayne C. Booth (1964) on the telling-showing distinction and on the types of narration; Mikhail Bakhtin (2011) on polyphony, alterity and dialogism, as well as Linda Hutcheon (2000) and her studies on irony. The analysis of the narrative discourse showed that the narrator’s detachment lies upon strategies of telling and showing, applied to interval tones whether of free indirect discourse or irony. Thus, it is possible to observe the existence of a literary project thought by Machado de Assis, which sets new paradigms regarding the narrator’s position, often distrusted in the omniscient mode; the creation of characters, made more autonomous and responsible for their viewpoints; and finally, the reader, from whom the reading will require more than fondness for Romanesque adventures, typical of feuilleton novels / O objetivo deste trabalho é o de analisar o movimento do narrador de Iaiá Garcia (1878), de Machado de Assis, no limiar entre a confiabilidade e a não confiabilidade, investindo na ambivalência e na ironia. Tido pela tradição crítica como um romance de passagem entre a fase romântica e a realista do escritor, a questão motivadora desta pesquisa foi a de investigar em que medida seria possível detectar na estrutura da narrativa, especialmente no ponto de vista do narrador, esse lugar cambiante entre esses dois paradigmas estético-literários na relação com as personagens Iaiá Garcia, Estela e Jorge, que configuram o triângulo amoroso da trama. Partimos da hipótese de que o narrador assume um papel preponderante na construção da narrativa posicionando-se a meio caminho entre a onisciência e a perda desse controle sobre as personagens por meio de um discurso dialógico no qual a ironia se destaca. Além disso, é este um narrador enxadrista, que compactua com as personagens femininas – Estela e Iaiá – os lances de um jogo de xadrez, que se desloca da enunciação para o enunciado – o capítulo XII –, e cujo foco é o triângulo amoroso Estela-Jorge-Iaiá. Este é um núcleo importante para o narrador ironista posicionar-se criticamente sobre o amor romântico, com seus excessos e idealizações fantasiosas, para projetar um outro tipo de amor, fruto da razão e do cálculo. Como embasamento teórico, utilizamos Wayne C. Booth (1964) sobre o par contar-mostrar e as estratégias do narrador, Mikhail Bakhtin (2011) com os conceitos sobre plurilinguismo, alteridade e dialogia, e também Linda Hutcheon (2000), no seu estudo sobre a ironia. A análise do discurso narrativo demonstrou que o deslocamento do narrador se faz entre estratégias de contar e mostrar, investindo em tons intervalares seja do discurso indireto livre, seja da ironia. A partir daí, é possível perceber a presença de um projeto literário de Machado de Assis, que lança novos parâmetros para o posicionamento do narrador, questionado em seu modelo de onisciência; para a construção das personagens, mais autônomas e responsáveis por sua visão de mundo e para o leitor (a) do qual se exige mais do que identificação com aventuras romanescas, próprias dos romances folhetins

Les études consacrées à la représentation du mariage dans les textes narratifs au XVIe siècle cherchent le plus souvent à mettre en rapport l’image du lien conjugal construite par les récits avec les débats de l’époque. Nous avons voulu combiner cette approche, relevant davantage de l’histoire des idées, à une analyse des formes littéraires en nous interrogeant sur le rôle joué par le thème du mariage dans les évolutions du genre narratif à la Renaissance.Nous menons notre enquête sur un ensemble de douze fictions narratives en prose, de composition française, écrites entre 1515 et 1559. Durant cette période, le mariage se trouve au cœur de nombreuses controverses théologico-politiques et les regards portés sur la vie conjugale se modifient. En nous appuyant sur un travail de contextualisation historique, nous croisons une approche thématique avec une réflexion sur la poétique narrative pour étudier la structuration des intrigues, la construction des personnages et les dispositifs didactiques et herméneutiques des textes. La comparaison de nos récits à d’autres œuvres – contemporaines ou antérieures, françaises ou étrangères – fait apparaître, au cours de notre période, un renouvellement de la matière narrative autour du mariage. L’accent mis sur certaines situations matrimoniales et les enjeux spécifiques qui leur sont associés à l’époque se révèlent être un ferment favorable à l’apparition de structures narratives innovantes. Le mariage joue en particulier un rôle déterminant dans l’orientation des récits brefs vers le genre de l’histoire tragique et dans l’apparition de formes romanesques originales à travers lesquelles on voit s’élaborer le genre du roman sentimental. / In most cases, studies devoted to the representation of marriage in narrative texts of the 16th century aim to link the image of the marriage bond as elaborated in the narratives to the controversies of the time. In order to show how the theme of marriage has played a part in the development of the narrative genre in the French Renaissance, we have decided to combine such an approach, which is rather based on the history of ideas, with an analysis of literary styles.We have conducted our survey on a set of twelve prose narrative fictions written in French between 1515 and 1559. Marriage was then at the heart of many theological-political controversies and married life started to be seen in a new light. Basing our work on historical contextualization, we have intertwined a thematic approach with a reflection on narrative poetics so as to study the plot structure and characterization as well as the didactic and hermeneutic systems of the texts. Comparing these narratives with other literary works – contemporary or prior, French or foreign – has enabled us to highlight a renewal of the narrative matter related to marriage themes during that period. The emphasis put on certain matrimonial situations and the related specific challenges in those days created favourable grounds for the advent of innovative narrative structures. Marriage stories have particularly contributed to orienting short stories towards the style of tragic stories and to giving birth to original novelistic forms in which the early stirrings of the style of the sentimental novel can be seen.
