Defesa: Curitiba, 26/08/2016 / Inclui referências : f.163-166 / Área de concentração : Estudos literários / Resumo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar três romances do ficcionista e historiador moçambicano João Paulo Borges Coelho: As duas sombras do rio, de 2003, Crónica da rua 513.2, de 2006 e Rainhas da noite, de 2013. As narrativas de Borges Coelho exploram a relação entre realidade e ficção, história e memória, por meio de um mapeamento literário de Moçambique. Em um primeiro momento, este trabalho situa o contexto da literatura moçambicana em sua relação com o panorama político do século XX que, no caso moçambicano, mostrou-se particularmente conturbado pela sequência de eventos ocorridos: domínio colonial, movimentos pró-libertação, independência nacional, guerra civil e o pós-guerra. Em um segundo momento, discute-se a obra ficcional do autor em sua relação com a história, a busca pelo estabelecimento de um sentimento de nacionalidade (moçambicanidade), assim como a recuperação de uma memória histórica apagada pela sucessão de conflitos. Por fim, o que se pretende é analisar os romances citados acima a partir de seus narradores: organizadores das várias linhas narrativas que se desenvolvem nos romances. Falando a partir de uma multiplicidade de posições, os narradores de Borges Coelho estruturam um amplo painel da sociedade moçambicana. Palavras-chave: Literatura moçambicana. João Paulo Borges Coelho. Literatura e história. Narrador. / Abstract:The present work aims at analyzing three novels from Mozambican writer and historian João Paulo Borges Coelho: As duas sombras do rio (2003), Crónica da rua 513.2 (2006) and Rainhas da noite (2013). Borges Coelho's narratives explore the relationship between reality and fiction, history and memory, by drawing a literary map of Mozambique. Firstly, this work locates the context of establishment of Mozambican literature in its close connection to the political scene of the twentieth century, particularly troubled in Mozambique by the sequence of events that took place: the colonial rule, pro-independence movements, the national independence, the civil war and the postwar. Secondly, this work discusses Borges Coelho's fictional work in its relation to History, the search for the Mozambican identity (moçambicanidade), as well as the recovery of the historical memory erased by the succession of conflicts. Finally, this thesis intends to analyze the novels from the perspective of its narrators, taken as organizers of the many narrative lines that are developed in the novels. Speaking from multiple perspectives, Borges Coelho's narrators structure a wide panel of the Mozambican society. Key words: Mozambican literature. João Paulo Borges Coelho. Literature and History. Narrator.

This thesis argues that all literature is subject to ‘afterlife,’ a continual process of translation. From this starting point, this thesis seeks to answer two questions. Firstly, how texts demonstrate this continual translation; secondly, how texts should be read if they are understood as constantly within translation. To answer these questions, this thesis seeks to develop a model of textuality that holds afterlife as central, and a model of reading based on this concept of textuality. Chapter One explores how following through the implications of Walter Benjamin’s and Jacques Derrida’s usages of the term ‘afterlife’ in their writings on translation, language and history necessarily implies a model of textuality. The model of reading that this thesis seeks to develop focuses on language and history, as Benjamin and Derrida define these as the parameters within which translation takes place. This study emphasises textuality itself as a third parameter. Chapter One also describes how, following Benjamin and Derrida, language and history are conceived as inescapable, repressive systems. This, paradoxically, allows for the concept of ‘messianicity’ – the idea that all language, and every historical event, has the potential to herald an escape from language or history. By definition, because language and history are all-encompassing, this potential cannot be enacted, and remains potential. An innovation of this thesis is to understand textuality itself as having ‘messianic potential’; all texts have the potential to escape textuality and afterlife, by reaching a point where they could no longer be translated. Understanding texts as having messianic potential, but always being subject to afterlife, is the basis of the model of reading described at the end of this chapter. Due to the ways Benjamin and Derrida suggest we recognise messianic potential, texts are read with a dual focus on their singularity and their connections to other texts. This is achieved through the ‘text-in-afterlife,’ a concept this thesis develops that understands texts as inextricable from the texts they translate and the texts that translate them. Chapters Two, Three and Four test and complicate this model of reading in response to texts by James Joyce, Aimé Césaire and Jorge Luis Borges. Concepts of textuality and reading are therefore developed throughout the thesis. The three key texts are read with focus on their individual relationships with language, history and textuality, and their connections to the texts they translate. Critics have linked Joyce’s Ulysses to multiple other texts, making it seem exceptional. However, the concept of messianicity shows that Ulysses is important precisely because it is not exceptional. Césaire’s Une Tempête demonstrates how a text can interact with several translations of ‘the same’ text simultaneously, and also that, although language and history are structured by colonialism and are inescapable, there is a huge potential for translation within these terms. Borges’ ‘Pierre Menard, Autor del Quijote’ demonstrates the form of texts’ continual translation in afterlife by describing a text that is verbally identical to the text it ‘translates,’ yet is nevertheless different in ‘meaning’ from its original. Borges’ fiction also highlights the endless potential for translation that is inherent to all texts. Through four chapters, this thesis develops a model of textuality that understands literature as defined by an almost endless potential for translation. The value of reading texts in the terms of ‘afterlife’ is to emphasise literature’s immense potential: all texts are continually translated in relation to language, history and textuality, and continually reveal further texts.

This thesis examines the preoccupation with the relationship between history and fiction present in the work of Leonardo Sciascia and Jorge Luis Borges. By means of different narrative strategies, both authors underscore the narrative elements that underpin any reconstruction of the past, and in this way they link the process of reconstruction of past events to the process of rewriting of a literary work. They emphasise, however, that whereas the literary work can be enriched by multiple rewritings, multiple reconstructions of the same real past event risk threatening its truthfulness. This thesis investigates the different ways in which Borges’s and Sciascia’s works intersect, across three narrative forms: the detective story, the historical essay (inchiesta or ‘enquiry’ for Sciascia) and the historical fiction. The analysis of Sciascia’s texts starts from a focus on the structural similarities with the work of Borges in the detective story, paying particular attention to Il contesto (1971), Todo modo (1974), and Il cavaliere e la morte (1988). It then moves on to Sciascia’s inclusion of fragments of Borges’s texts in two of his inchieste, L’affaire Moro (1978) and Il teatro della memoria (1981). The last chapter of the thesis proposes a metafictional reading of Sciascia’s historical novel Il Consiglio d’Egitto (1963), in the light of the comparisons with Borges’s work undertaken in the previous chapters. The two key aims of this thesis are to show (1) that studying the ways in which Sciascia integrates Borges’s texts in his own writing allows a deeper understanding of Sciascia’s texts, but also underscores traits in Borges’s which might have been downplayed by previous criticism of his work, and (2) that reconsidering in the light of this understanding a number of Sciascia’s other texts where Borges’s influence is not explicit allows us to identify a preoccupation with regards to the relationship between history and fiction shared between both authors.

Con este trabajo, se espera contribuir al estudio, tanto del cuento “El Aleph”, tratando de atar cabos sueltos entre algunas lecturas convencionales, como de la obra de Borges, específicamente la que corresponde al periodo más arduamente estudiado y analizado (1923-1949). Por otra parte, se intenta situar a Borges como un autor sumamente contemporáneo, cuyos temas y asuntos siguen construyendo y a la vez pulverizando buena parte de nuestro vocabulario crítico y lector. En la literatura de Borges hay gran cantidad de conceptos, metáforas, símbolos, figuras y ambiciones que conducen a sus conceptos de lectura y escritura; nunca fijos ni cerrados. Para dos de los escritores citados como fuentes críticas en nuestro trabajo: Alan Pauls y Roberto Bolaño, Borges es una influencia y un precursor teórico, crítico y hasta en cuanto a lecturas se refiere.

Este último, muito importante nas décadas de 1960 e 1970, teve seu eixo na luta de classes e na promoção e defesa de um projeto utópico de sociedade, anulado, em sua maior parte, pelas ditaduras que assolaram o continente nas décadas de 1960 a 1980. Abandonado em meados dos anos de 1980, sua apelação política direta começará a dar lugar a outras nuances artísticas no teatro contemporâneo do continente, operando com óticas mais subjetivas, intimistas e tratando de articular o social, o histórico e o contingente em um âmbito cênico que vai deslocar seu sentido político doutrinário. Surgem espetáculos que dão especial atenção a composição espacial e sonora da cena, à corporeidade dos intérpretes, ao trabalho da imagem no palco, o que vai possibilitar pensar nos alcances poéticos e políticos da sua teatralidade. Um olhar a partir da alegoria permitirá dar visibilidade a esses alcances, a teoria do alegórico de Walter Benjamin se torna chave para pensar na cena e na sua materialidade, sendo a base teórica desta pesquisa. O que se indaga aqui é como o teatro latino-americano contemporâneo ‘da virada’ se lança em uma viagem à teatralidade, gerando cenas cujo status crítico tangencia, sobretudo, nosso tempo democrático neoliberal, radiografando o que nele há de perda. / Universidade Federal da Bahia.

OLivro de Travesseiro (Makura no Sôshi), de Sei Shônagon, escrito entre o fim do século X e o início do XI, possui hoje inegável status canônico no contexto da literatura japonesa. Ao mesmo tempo, é o texto japonês mais traduzido do mundo, ocupando lugar estável na lista de títulos que são considerados como pertencentes à Weltliteratur, com uma adaptação cinematográfica (O Livro de Cabeceira, de Peter Greenaway, 1996) e duas versões para o português do Brasil (2008 e 2013). A posteridade tratou as enumerações presentes no texto como tópicos poéticos, ou mesmo, contemporaneamente, como poesia - principalmente em tradução. As listas revelam uma atitude lúdica com relação à linguagem e àquilo que Foucault chamava de "categorias do pensamento" Nesse sentido, o texto de Sei Shônagon pode ser posto em diálogo com o olhar de estranheza em relação à categorização racionalista, que é a premissa de As Palavras e as Coisas (Michel Foucault, 1966) e com a obra de Jorge Luis Borges. A obra de Sei Shônagon mobiliza diversas camadas de conceitos problemáticos ao mesmo tempo. Por outro lado, nenhuma dessas categorias se aplica a O Livro de Travesseiro sem provocar, por sua vez, desestabilizações conceituais. A questão da autoria feminina e de sua relação com a figura do pai e com a cultura do patriarcado reaparece em O Livro de Cabeceira, na trajetória de liberação pela escrita da personagem principal do filme. Essas possíveis leituras dos textos propostos contribuem para a problematização de questões relacionadas à autoria, ao conhecimento, à tradução e à adaptação. / The Pillow Book (Makura no Sõshi) of Sei Shônagon, written between the end of the tenth and the beginning of the eleventh century, has attained undeniable canonical status in the context o f Japanese Literature. lt also is the most translated ]a panes e text in the world, and occupies a stable place in the list of works that are considered as belonging to the realm of Weltliteratur. It has been adapted to the screen outside Japan (The Pillow Book by Peter Greenaway, 1996) and translated twice to Brazilian Portuguese (in 2008 and 2013). Later generations of readers have treated the text's enumerations as catalogues of poetic topics or even, since the beginning of the twentieth century, and especially in translation, as poetry. The lists show a playful approach to language and to what Foucault has called the "categories of thought". In this sense, Sei Shõnagon's reuvre can be read in resonance with Foucault's Les Mots et les Choses (1966) and its attempt to defamiliarize rational categorization, a conceptual device which can also be found in the work ofJorge Luis Borges. Sei Shõnagon's work simultaneously mobilizes severallayers of problematíc concepts. On the other hand, none of these categories applies to lhe Pillow Book without engendering further conceptual destabilization. The issues of female authorship and woman authors' relationships with their fathers in a patriarchal culture reappear in the film, in the main character's journey towards liberation through writing. Those possible readings of the proposed texts contribute to the problematization of issues related to authorship, knowledge, translation and adaptation.

O julgamento, no qual se reconheceu que o governador não poderia ser preso por ordem da justiça militar, serve como ponto de partida para uma análise das contingências locais e nacionais que podem ter influenciado na formação da opinião expressa no acórdão. Naquele momento, estavam em jogo, de maneira destacada, concepções diversas a respeito do esgotamento do prazo para as punições previstas no Ato Institucional de 9 de abril de 1964. Inserido naquele contexto tumultuado, o julgamento do habeas corpus de Mauro Borges permite observar o papel desempenhado pelo STF no processo político da época, bem como ajuda a compreender leituras e concepções jurídicas relacionadas à interpretação da Constituição de 1946. Mais do que simples argumento extraído da jurisprudência da corte, a tese propõe que a leitura da função política do governador realizada no caso Mauro Borges foi marcada pela ameaça latente de uma nova medida excepcional, ao final adotada em outubro de 1965, por meio do Ato Institucional nº 2. / The doctoral thesis focuses on the ruling of the Supreme Court of Brazil on a writ of habeas corpus brought before that court by the governor of the state of Goiás, Mauro Borges. Issued in November, 1964, the opinion of the Brazilian Supreme Court asserted that a state governor could not be brought to trial before a federal military court. At that moment there were different and sometimes opposing views at stake, specially concerning the deadline for political sanctions established in Institutional Act of April 9th, 1964. Viewed in the light of that tumultous historical context, the ruling on Mauro Borges' case illustrates the political importance of the Brazilian Supreme Court and provides insight on the purposes which guided that court in the interpretation of the Constitution of 1946. Thus, the doctrine of the political function of the office of state governor expounded in the case can been seen not only as an interpretation of the precedent, but also as a direct effect of the threat of sanctions posed by groups of civilians and the military advocating for a second Institutional Act, a measure which was adopted in October, 1965, less than a year after the habeas corpus was decided by the Supreme Court.
