Busca-se explorar os contornos da figura do escritor que marca essas narrativas, com base em uma leitura atenta tanto aos eventuais traços autobiográficos emprestados pelos autores a seus personagens-escritores quanto ao tom ensaístico e ao retrato do campo literário esboçado a partir desse veemente destaque dado ao ofício de escritor. O objetivo principal desta Dissertação é observar quais são as posturas literárias desses personagens, o que eles pensam e/ou têm a declarar sobre a literatura, e de que modo eles encaram e exercem a atividade de escrita e de leitura. Vale mencionar, por fim, que se dá também atenção ao longo deste trabalho à atual e recorrente associação das poéticas de Bolaño e de Vila-Matas à denominada «autoficção», tendo em vista que classificar um texto como autoficcional significa atribuir, muitas vezes, um papel de destaque à função e ao lugar ocupado pelo personagem-escritor no que tange à presença da autobiografia do autor dentro da ficção / Abstract: This thesis aims to analyze the role played by the figure of the author in two novels of the Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño (Estrella Distante, 1996, and Los Detectives Salvajes, 1998) and in two books of the Spanish author Enrique Vila-Matas (El mal de Montano, 2002, and Doctor Pasavento, 2005). It attempts to observe the importance of the profile of this type of character as regards the traces of autobiography and the essayistic tone which mark the stories of these two writers. In order to do that, it discusses the possible relation between their Poetics and «autofiction» (a device directly linked to the role played by the characters who represent the figure of the author), and what the contours of the critical portrait of the literary field developed within their fictions are. The main objective is to observe the literary postures of these characters, in other words, how they deal with the writing activity and with the activity of reading as well, and what they think and say about literature / Mestrado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária

Além do estudo de obras autobiográficas em quadrinhos e as implicações desta combinação de meio e gênero, visamos observar a maneira como Bechdel estrutura suas narrativas através da intertextualidade com outras produções, sejam elas literárias, psicanalíticas, ou imagéticas. Nossa atenção será voltada para o uso que Bechdel faz de tais obras e qual a relação desta construção de paralelos com a sua criação autobiográfica, na qual articula obras e biografias (das personagens relacionadas à sua história e experiência de vida) em diversos níveis, bem como a maneira como a autora reflete sobre o próprio ato de autobiografar-se ao longo de suas obras / Abstract: The aim of this work is the analysis of the autobiographical work of American cartoonist Alison Bechdel, published in book form, composed, so far, of two comics: Fun Home ¿ A Family Tragicomic (2006) and Are you my mother? ¿ A Comic Drama (2012). Apart from the study of autobiographical works in comics and the implications of this specific media and genre combination, we aim to observe how Bechdel structures her narratives through intertextuality with other productions, such as literary, psychoanalytic, or imagery. Our attention will be focused on the use that Bechdel makes of such works and what is the connection between the building of parallels with the author's autobiographical production in which she articulates the works and biographies (of the characters related to her history and life experience) at various levels, as well as the way the author critically thinks, while constructing her autobiographies, of the act of autobiography itself / Mestrado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária

Thesis (MA (Afrikaans and Dutch))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Autobiography is a growing, but elusive literary genre. However, when texts are read as autobiographical – and thus as a form of self-representation – the theme of identity provides the reader with an interesting and useful method by which to approach it. In this study, two Afrikaans autobiographical texts are approached in a comparative manner, with the aim being to examine the writers’ representations of themselves. The texts studied are ’n Wonderlike geweld (2005) by Elsa Joubert, and ’n Ander tongval (2005) by Antjie Krog. Besides the autobiographical nature of these texts, the comparison is also based on: the writers’ status in the Afrikaans literary system, similarities beween them and their backgrounds, and the corresponding publication dates. The theoretical basis from where the concepts autobiography and identity are viewed is explained briefly. The emphasis falls on autobiography as a hybrid genre, that is defined mainly by how it is read. The use of identity as a reading strategy is suggested, with identity being understood as an unstable construction that changes constantly, depending on the context in which it is constructed. Consequently, the different identities according to which Joubert and Krog reveal themselves to the reader and the autobiographical forms through which they achieve this, are examined and discussed in separate chapters. Specific emphasis is placed on how they convey the spirit of the time and on the influence of the context in which the texts are published. Finally, the differences and similarities in the writers’ representation of themselves are summarised. In the end it emerges that the reading strategy focused on identity provides the reader with a useful approach to the study of texts in the autobiographical genre, since it is possible to successfully apply it to two texts with diverse autobiographical qualities. Furthermore, it becomes clear that the structure and style of these texts mirror the writer’s approach to identity to a great extent. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Outobiografie is ’n groeiende, maar onpeilbare literêre genre. Wanneer tekste as outobiografies – en dus as ’n vorm van self-representasie – benader word, bied die tema van identiteit egter ’n interessante en nuttige invalshoek. In hierdie studie word twee Afrikaanse outobiografiese tekste vergelykend benader, met die doel om die skrywers se voorstellings van hul identiteit daarin te ondersoek. Die twee tekste wat gebruik word, is ’n Wonderlike geweld (2005) van Elsa Joubert, en ’n Ander tongval (2005) van Antjie Krog. Benewens die outobiografiese aard van die tekste, sluit die basis vir vergelyking ook die skrywers se status binne die Afrikaanse literêre sisteem, ooreenkomste tussen hulle en hul agtergronde, en die ooreenstemmende publikasiedatums in. Die teoretiese basis vanwaar die begrippe outobiografie en identiteit beskou word, word kortliks uiteengesit. Die klem val op outobiografie as ’n hibridiese genre wat veral gedefinieer word op grond van hoe ’n mens dit lees. Die gebruik van identiteit word dan as ’n lees-strategie voorgestel, met identiteit wat verstaan word as ’n onstabiele konstruksie wat konstant verander op grond van die konteks waarbinne dit gekonstrueer word. Die verskillende identiteite waarvolgens Joubert en Krog hulself aan die leser openbaar en die outobiografiese vorme wat hulle hiervoor gebruik, word dan ondersoek en bespreek in twee afsonderlike hoofstukke. Spesifieke klem word gelê op die tydsgees wat vasgevang word en die invloed wat die konteks waarbinne die tekste gepubliseer word, het. Uiteindelik word die verskille en ooreenkomste in die skrywers se voorstellings van hulself saamgevat. Ten slotte blyk dit dat die lees-strategie wat fokus op identiteit ’n nuttige invalshoek bied vir die studie van tekste binne die outobiografiese genre, aangesien dit met vrug op twee tekste met uiteenlopende outobiografiese eienskappe toegepas kan word. Verder word dit ook duidelik dat die struktuur en styl van die tekste in ’n groot mate die skrywer daarvan se benadering tot identiteit weerspieël.
