Des romans néoréalistes aux récits fantastiques, des fables modernes aux essais engagés, Italo Calvino (1923-1985) fut un auteur très fécond. Ses écrits forment un parcours où se mêlent réel et imaginaire, visible et invisible, dicible et indicible, présence et absence. Au centre de ce parcours : des personnages souvent pourfendus en quête de vérité, d’harmonie, de complétude. La ville, espace humain par excellence, constitue un terrain d’observation privilégié pour révéler ces différents thèmes. Plus qu’un décor ou un lieu d’habitation, elle se fait miroir des personnages. Qu’elle soit réelle, imaginaire ou utopique, la ville semble cacher un secret. La présente étude propose de retracer et de suivre en parallèle l’évolution de l’espace urbain et celle de l’espace humain pour voir si ces paysages extérieur et intérieur sont à même de vivre ensemble. La ville, dans le corpus calvinien étudié, change sans cesse de visage : de la ville provinciale et balnéaire à la métropole industrielle, de la ville-encyclopédie à la ville sans racines. Souvent considérée comme un monstre en puissance, une maladie de l’époque moderne, un espace stérile et anonyme, la ville s’apparente alors à une cage « dorée » dans laquelle l’homme s’égare toujours plus. Pour sortir de ce labyrinthe, nous envisagerons l’espace urbain autrement afin de lui redonner son véritable sens. Nous voyagerons ainsi avec Marco Polo et remonterons aux origines de la ville pour nous diriger vers ce continent de l’Ailleurs où les cités seront suspendues dans les airs, où elles auront perdu le poids du réel et où peut-être, l’homme sera à même de retrouver sa place et son identité d’être humain et de citoyen des Villes. / From neo-realist novels to fantastic narratives, and from modern fables to committed essays, Italo Calvino (1923-1985) was a prolific author. His writings all weave together the real and imaginary, the visible and invisible, the said and unsaid, the present and absent. At the centre of this pattern are often cloven characters in search of truth, harmony and completeness. The city, the archetypal human space, constitutes a privileged observation point from which these different themes can be observed. More than just a setting or a living space, it acts as a mirror for its characters. Whether the city is real, invisible, imaginary or utopian, it seems to hide a secret. The present study offers to simultaneously recount and follow the evolution of urban and human space in order to see if these outer and inner landscapes can actually live together. If we take into account the Calvinian corpus, we see that the city continually changes its face : from the small provincial and seaside town to the industrial metropolis, from the encyclopaedia city to the rootless one. Often considered to be a powerful monster, a disease of modern times, a sterile and anonymous space, the city resembles something more like a gilded cage in which men are always led astray. In order to escape this labyrinth, we must reimagine urban space in order for it to reclaim its true meaning. Thus, we will travel side-by-side with Marco Polo : we will retrace the history of the city in order to travel the continent of Elsewhere, one in which cities will be suspended in the air, unburdened by reality, and where – perhaps – we will be able to recover our humanity and our citizenship of Cities.

Para o escritor “a relação de quem narra com a matéria narrada e com o leitor” é a “problemática mais árdua da narrativa contemporânea” (CALVINO, 2009, p. 199). Como fundamentação teórica para esta temática utilizamos alguns textos fomentadores destas discussões: Roger Chartier (1998) e seu estudo sobre autor e editor, Compagnon sobre estilo, autor e leitor (2001), Michel Foucault (2009) sobre o que é um autor, a “morte do autor” prenunciada por Roland Barthes (2004), Umberto Eco (1994) e a questão do leitor, entre outros. A respeito da categoria “autor”, entendemos ser este uma figura que Umberto Eco renomeou em “autor-modelo”, “autor-empírico”, entendemos que a “voz narrativa” criada por Italo Calvino no romance e as estratégias narrativas utilizadas pelo escritor ecoam este viés. Destas duas categorias, “autor” e “voz narrativa”, relacionamos à teoria que fala a respeito de “estilo”, reconhecendo as estratégias de Italo Calvino como um “tom” que dificilmente poderíamos desvincular da figura histórica do autor ao compararmos com seu experimentalismo em outros livros como Cidades Invisíveis (CALVINO, 2003). Este estudo nos possibilitou compreender, também, que o “Editor” faz parte da autoria no sentido de que a Casa Editorial é o local em que são aceitos para publicação textos que passam pelo crivo de estéticas estabelecidas por um Editor que circunscreve, delimita e corrige o que será publicado. Por último, estudar a morte do autor anuncia que o Leitor deve ser enfatizado em sua atividade de leitura. A conclusão a que chegamos é que em Se um viajante numa noite de inverno Italo Calvino criou um romance armadilha, tanto do leitor-médio, como dos demais leitores. / This paper is about our reading of If on a traveler on a winter’s night, book was wrote by Italo Calvino (1979), and the aim is to analyze three characters from the book: the editor, the author and the reader, as well as we study the book “narrative voice”. To the writer “a relação de quem narra com a matéria narrada e com o leitor” is the “problemática mais árdua da narrativa contemporânea” (CALVINO, 2009, p. 199). This discussions in this text is based on Roger Chartier about author and editor (1998), Antoine Compagnon (2001) about author, reader and style, the “author’s dead” by Roland Barthes (2004), Michel Foucault and what is an author? (2009), Umberto Eco (1994) and the reader, among others. We understand the author is a figure divided by Umberto Eco in autor-modelo and autor-empírico and the narrative strategies used by the writer talks with these categories – and these categories are very hard to separate on historical author figure. The Editor is part of the authorship in the sense that the Editorial House is the place where texts that pass through the aesthetic list established by an Editor are accepted for publication. Studying the death of the author announces that the reader should be emphasized in his reading activity. The conclusion we reach is that in If a traveler on a winter's night Italo Calvino created a trappings romance, be it the average reader or the other readers.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo destacar a importância da presença do personagem de cavalaria Orlando nas relações intertextuais que existem entre a obra de Italo Calvino e os clássicos da literatura italiana. Para tanto elaborou-se um histórico do personagem ao longo dessa tradição literária desde as canções de gesta até O Castelo dos Destinos Cruzados, tendo em vista o levantamento de características comuns entre as obras e os temas do amor e da loucura, que demonstram como tais variantes são retomadas ou modificadas ao longo do tempo, ou seja, a seleção dos elementos que apontam para uma reescritura da tradição literária cavaleiresca italiana. Mais especificamente foram analisados três poemas: La Chanson de Roland (1100), Orlando innamorato (1483) e Orlando furioso (1516), e duas narrativas escritas por Italo Calvino, La pazzia dOrlando, publicada no livro Orlando Furioso raccontato da Italo Calvino (1970), e História de Orlando louco de amor, em O castelo dos Destinos Cruzados (1973). / This study aims to show the importance of the presence of the cavalry character Orlando in an intertextual relation between Italo Calvinos literary work and the Italian literary classics. In order to reach this goal we elaborate the character history through out this literary tradition from the chanson de geste to The Castle of Crossed Destinies, regarding to mapping common features between the literary works and the literary topic of love and madness, that demonstrate how those variants are resumed or modify over time, in other words, the selection of elements that point to a rewriting of the Italian cavalry literary tradition. More specifically we analyzed three poems from the literary tradition: La Chanson de Roland (1100), Orlando innamorato (1483), Orlando furioso (1516), and two narratives written by Italo Calvino, La pazzia dOrlando, published in Orlando Furioso raccontato da Italo Calvino (1970), and Storia dellOrlando pazzo per amore, in the book The Castle of Crossed Destinies (1973).

Le modèle formel de la variation sur thème, qui est célèbre surtout à cause de son emploi en tant que principe de composition musical – notamment pour les développements que y ont apporté des artistes comme Bach, Beethoven ou Schönberg -, toutefois n’épuise pas ses potentialités expressives exclusivement dans le cadre de cet art.Dans le roman, notamment, l’adoption du principe de composition nommé variation sur thème, qui implique la présentation du même thème (ou motif) par de perspectives différentes (que peuvent correspondre au point de vue des diverses personnages ou à la distance temporelle différente prise en rapport à la narration du même événement), semble se présenter comme un expédient idéalement fonctionnel à l’obtention de l’objectif cognitif le principal de cet art, qui concerne le dévoilement de la substantielle relativité de toutes les vérités apparentes. Alors que de romanciers tel que Milan Kundera ou Danilo Kiš, dans leurs œuvres, semblent avoir interprété le modèle des variations comme un principe fonctionnel à la réalisation d’une structure organique et unitaire, parfaitement concentrée autour du thème, dans d’autres romans contemporains, par exemple dans Si une nuit d’hiver un voyageur (1979) de Italo Calvino o dans Les variations Goldberg (1981) di Nancy Huston, les variations assument une disposition de type sériel.Dans ces derniers cas, la forme de la variation sur thème est utilisée, plutôt que comme un modèle de composition, comme un principe de désagrégation de la matière romanesque. / Theme and variation, a formal technique that is popular mainly through its applications within music, in particular thanks to contributions by artists such as Bach, Beethoven or Schönberg, nevertheless has expressive potentials that go beyond the boundaries of this art. In particular, it is in the novel that the use of variation as a composing principle, implying the presentation of a single central theme or motif by different perspectives (that may correspond to the point of view of different characters, or to different amounts of time elapsed from the actual happening of an event to its narration), seems to lend itself as the ideal device to achieve the main cognitive objective of this art, that is the unveiling of the substantial relativity of all things.While novelists such has Milan Kundera or Danilo Kiš seem to have developed, in their work, the theme and variation technique as a principle that is functional to an organic and uniform form of composition, ideally focused on a single theme, in other novels, such as If on a winter's night a traveler (1979) by Italo Calvino or Variations Goldberg (1981) by Nancy Huston, the variations are disposed so as to acquire a serial connotation. In those latter cases, the theme and variation technique is used as a functional principle for the disaggregation of the matter of the novel, rather than as a composition technique.

It has as intention to present an introduction to the Calvin s hermeneutics. It calls attention for the fact of that although the great contribution of Calvin, its hermeneutics still is, in many aspects, stranger in Brazil. The author makes an attempt to establish the influences on Calvin s thought that had contributed for his hermeneutics. It continues demonstrating the importance of the authority of the Bible for Calvin. After that he presents the main points of Calvin s hermeneutics and for a better understanding, he divides them in presuppositions, principles and approaches. In the last chapter the focus is in an analysis of Calvin s hermeneutics, having the modern study of Psalms as aid. Finally, it presents an attempt of dialogue between Calvin s hermeneutics and contemporary Brazilian Protestantism. This dialogue is presented in the form of some challenges. / Neste trabalho, o autor procura resgatar a leitura que Calvino fez dos Salmos de lamento.

O autor faz uma tentativa de estabelecer as influências sobre o pensamento de Calvino que contribuíram para a sua hermenêutica. Ele prossegue demonstrando a importância da autoridade da Bíblia para Calvino, em seguida, apresenta os pontos principais da hermenêutica de Calvino e, para uma melhor compreensão, divide-os em pressupostos, princípios e enfoques. No último capítulo, se propõe a fazer uma análise da hermenêutica de Calvino de forma mais focada, tendo o estudo moderno dos Salmos como ajuda. Finalmente, ele apresenta uma tentativa de diálogo entre a hermenêutica de Calvino e o protestantismo brasileiro, diálogo este apresentado em forma de alguns desafios.
