Além disso, as duas narrativas apresentam indicações de figuras da história oficial assim como a indicação de Instituições históricas. É fundamental destacar que nos dois romances, há acontecimentos insólitos que se referem ao realismo mágico, em Il barone rampante, o protagonista Cosimo vive um estilo de vida incomum sobre as árvores, onde estuda, tem atitudes altruístas e acredita nos ideias revolucionários, enquanto em El Siglo de las Luces, o protagonista é Víctor Hugues que foi inspirado em uma figura da história oficial, um francês que foi comerciante e responsável por disseminar a ideologia revolucionária na região das Antilhas. Sua chegada a Havana, movimenta ativamente a vida dos primos Esteban, Carlos e Sofía, que passam a nutrir interesses pela Revolução, fazem diversos estudos e leituras de autores filosóficos e são moldados pelo pensamento racionalista. No romance carpentiano, Esteban é curado da asma graças a rituais curandeiros fator que pode ser associado ao realismo maravilhoso. Em outros momentos, buscamos evidenciar alguns aspectos fabulistas em Il barone rampante e do barroquismo latino americano em El Siglo de las Luces. No final da tese, apontamos certas características que aproximam ainda mais Il barone rampante de El Siglo de las Luces, visto que são abordadas temáticas em comum nos dois romances, como, por exemplo, a busca pelo conhecimento, a solidão, a frustração, os avanços tecnológicos e a esperança em um mundo melhor por meio do incentivo à educação, ao conhecimento e através de movimentos revolucionários. Em outras palavras, há o tratamento de temas importantíssimos como esses, por meio de uma revisitação ao passado, no caso, à Revolução Francesa serve para levar o leitor à reflexão sobre os contextos que os autores viveram no século XX, a exemplo do fascismo e dos movimentos de resistência na Itália; da ditadura em Cuba bem como o triunfo da Revolução Cubana, ou seja, movimentos de resistência que necessitaram da união coletiva para que houvesse de fato mudanças benéficas para população, condição fundamental que permeia o modo de agir dos personagens das obras analisadas. Esses movimentos até os dias atuais são imprescindíveis para que haja transformações concretas na sociedade em torno da igualdade, do respeito e da aplicação dos direitos humanos para todos. / This thesis aims at the comparison of the novels Il barone rampante (1957), by Italo Calvino and El Siglo de las Luces (1962), by Alejo Carpentier, since both have confluences regarding the existence of historical references, since the entanglements both of which take place in the eighteenth century, amidst the French Revolution and the Enlightenment ideals. In addition, the two narratives present indications of figures of the official history as well as the indication of Historical Institutions. It is important to note that in the two novels, there are unusual events that refer to magical realism, in Il barone rampante, the protagonist Cosimo lives an unusual lifestyle on the trees, where he studies, has altruistic attitudes and believes in revolutionary ideas, while in El Siglo de las Luces, the protagonist is Víctor Hugues who was inspired by an official history figure, a french who was a merchant and responsible for spreading the revolutionary ideology in the Antilles region. His arrival in Havana actively moves the lives of the cousins Esteban, Carlos and Sofía, who begin to nurture interests for the Revolution, do various studies and readings of philosophical authors and are shaped by rationalist thinking. In the Carpentian novel, Esteban is cured of asthma thanks to ritual healers, factor that can be associated with magical realism. At other times, we tried to evidence some fabulous aspects in Il barone rampante and the Latin American baroque in El Siglo de las Luces. At the end of the thesis, we point out certain characteristics that approach even more the Il barone rampante to El Siglo de las Luces, since themes are discussed in common in both novels, such as the search for knowledge, loneliness, frustration, technological advances and hope for a better world by encouraging education, knowledge and revolutionary movements. In other words, there is the treatment of such important subjects as a revision of the past, in this case the French Revolution, serves to lead the reader to reflect on the contexts that the authors lived in the twentieth century, such as fascism and Resistance movements in Italy; of the dictatorship in Cuba, as well as the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, that is, resistance movements that necessitated a collective union so that there was indeed beneficial changes for the population, a fundamental condition that permeates the behavior of the characters in the analyzed literary works. These movements until nowadays are essentials for concrete transformations in society around equality, respect and the application of human rights for all.

O único enfrentamento seria com a própria história tida, até o momento, como hegemônica, característica que encontra na diegese, condições para proliferar a ideologia americanista, relacionada à formação da identidade no discurso literário hispano-americano, que está no cerne das discussões a respeito do subgênero. A partir da constatação de tais mecanismos narrativos típicos do realismo maravilhoso, propomos avançar para o campo analítico pragmático e fenomenológico, tendo como referencial teórico, em especial, os postulados de Irlemar Chiampi (1980), Alejo Carpentier (1949), William Spindler (1993) e David Roas (2001), aplicados na estrutura da narrativa do romance carpentieriano Concierto barroco, de 1974. Para nossa pesquisa, temos como objetivo analisar quais seriam os mecanismos textuais que instauram o subgênero realismo maravilhoso na narrativa do romance supracitado os quais, possivelmente, se articulam, em um segundo momento, com conceitos como a história e a ideologia. Estruturamos o primeiro capítulo da dissertação, como uma averiguação teórica do subgênero, perpassando questões como o realismo maravilhoso e a mimese literária, suas correlações com o surrealismo, e com o mágico sui generis, como também suas feições linguística, pragmática e ideológica. Isto feito, avançamos para a análise do romance, detendo-nos em cinco aspectos básicos de estruturação – fabricação de efeito de encantamento na narrativa (CHIAMPI), ausência de hesitação, cronologia e espaço diegéticos não-lineares, expressão linguística do subgênero e história como articulador textual / El discurso realista maravilloso, por no presentar la disyunción entre lo natural y lo sobrenatural, se convierte en un espacio de convergencia y discusión de los hechos que conocemos sobre América, dando lugar a la transgresión de lo real, sin irrupción. La confrontación sólo se hace con la historia hegemónica: una característica que encuentra en la diégesis, condiciones para proliferar la ideología americana, relacionada con la formación de la identidad en el discurso literario hispanoamericano, que está en el centro de los debates sobre el subgénero. Basados en la observación de estos mecanismos, típicos del realismo maravilloso, nos proponemos a avanzar al campo analítico, pragmático y fenomenológico, en particular, con los estudios de Irlemar Chiampi (1980), Alejo Carpentier (1949), William Spindler (1993) y David Roas (2001), aplicándolos en la narrativa de la novela carpentieriana Concierto barroco, de 1974. Para nuestra investigación, proponemos como objetivo analizar cuáles son los mecanismos textuales que establecen el subgénero realismo maravilloso en la narrativa de dicha novela que, posiblemente se relacionan a los conceptos de historia e ideología americana. Estructuramos el primer capítulo de la disertación, como una investigación teórica sobre el subgénero, los temas que abarca, como el realismo y la mimesis literaria, su correlación con el surrealismo y lo mágico sui generis, así como sus características lingüísticas e ideológicas. Pasamos, en seguida, al análisis de Concierto barroco, centralizado en cinco aspectos básicos de la estructura: el efecto de encantamiento narrativo (CHIAMPI), la ausencia de hesitación por parte del narrador y de los personajes, la cronología y el espacio diegéticos no lineales, la expresión lingüística del subgénero y la historia como articulador textual

The purpose of this dissertation was to analyze the narrative works of Alejo Carpentier and Abel Posse within the context of the new Latin American historical novel that revises the Old World-New World Encounter. Focusing on El arpa y la sombra and Los perros del paraíso, the dissertation studied the particular manner in which Latin American novelists, and particularly Alejo Carpentier and Abel Posse, approach and question traditional historiography. The research also compared different novels to identify various trends within the new historical novel that rewrites the foundational period of Latin American literature. This study considered the theories of the new historical novel as proposed by critics such as Seymour Menton, Fernando de Aínsa, Linda Hutcheon, and Brian MacHale. The new novel was examined within the frameworks of postmodern literary and historiographic theories. The study also contemplated the philosophical views that have influenced postmodern thought, and, especially, the ideas of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Lyotard, Harbermas, and Foucault. Research showed two major trends within the new Latin American historical novel. In the case of the first trend, initiated by Alejo Carpentier in 1949 with El reino de este mundo, the novelist’s approach is founded on historicism and factual rigor. The second trend, initiated by Reinaldo Arenas with El mundo alucinante in 1969, is marked by irreverence, parody, irony, and carnavalization. Characterized by intertextuality, dialogism, and anachronism, novels such as Carpentier´s El arpa y la sombra and Posse´s Los perros del paraíso, undermine the values and beliefs instituted by the traditional historiographic paradigm and the discourse of power.

Depuis la conférence de Hans Robert Jauss intitulée L’histoire littéraire comme provocation à la science littéraire tenue à l’Université de Constance en 1967, de nombreuses études ont été publiées sur la relation communicative entre le texte et ses lecteurs et l’évolution de la critique littéraire. L’herméneutique, base philosophique de l’esthétique de la réception, a été remise à l’ordre du jour au cours des dernières décennies, tandis que l’esthétique de la réception s’est taillée une place non négligeable parmi une panoplie de thèses littéraires. L’objectif général du présent mémoire est d’étayer les thèses fondamentales de l’École de Constance représentée principalement par Hans Robert Jauss et Wolfgang Iser et de tenter de les appliquer à certaines oeuvres de l’auteur cubain Alejo Carpentier et l’écrivain argentin Julio Cortázar, tout en mettant l’accent sur le rôle du lecteur ou récepteur au niveau littéraire et, de façon incidente, historique, artistique et sociologique. Grosso modo, les théoriciens de l’École de Constance prétendent questionner les paradigmes qui concentrent leur attention sur l’écrit sans égard pour le rôle du lecteur dans le processus d’interprétation d’une oeuvre littéraire. Dans un premier temps, il importe de réfléchir sur le contexte académique, théorique et social dans lequel sont apparues les sept thèses de Jauss, soit la crise des conceptions de l’autonomie du texte et de la neutralité idéologique du chercheur en sciences humaines, de même que le contexte social des années soixante et les contestations massives contre la guerre du Vietnam. Ensuite, il convient d’analyser lesdites thèses relatives au rôle actif du lecteur dans le processus de lecture ou de réception qui ont mené les théoriciens de l’École de Constance à la conclusion qu’il n’existe pas d’interprétation définitive d’un texte puisqu’une oeuvre littéraire est non seulement une création ouverte à la critique, mais elle se construit à travers la critique.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the highly moral ethic of social duty and responsibility which animates the work of Alejo Carpentier. In order to examine this theme, I have studied, in particular, the following six novels: ‘El reino de este mundo', Los pasos perdidos', ‘El acoso', El siglo de las luces', ‘El recurso del método', and ‘La consagración de la primavera'. In the Introduction, I have investigated the various philosophical questions raised by the concept of responsibility : the debate about freewill and determinism has been examined, and the Existentialist philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre has been chosen as the most helpful in an investigation of Carpentier's theory of responsibility, due to a great coincidence of thought between the two writers. The protagonists of the novels in question have been grouped according to various distinguishing tendencies or characteristics, and have been analysed in the light of the Sartrian concepts of good and bad faith. These groupings are as follows: “the deluded intellectual”, “two tyrants”, “the lesson of experience”, and “the committed individual”. The success, or failure, of these characters, in matching up to the goals of self-transcendence and responsible commitment posed by Carpentier has been charted throughout Chapters One to Four, and deductions have been made about the various forms of bad faith in which the characters indulge. The conclusions that I have drawn from this detailed investigation of characters in good and bad faith are, firstly, that Carpentier sees man's goal in life as the attainment of self-knowledge and the honest acceptance of responsibility for the self : once this state of good faith has been achieved, man is able to commit himself to the never-ending struggle for the improvement of the social situation. Acceptance of responsibility for the self is vital, in Carpentier's canon, for without such acceptance, positive commitment is impossible. Secondly, I have concluded that, according to Carpentier, commitment is an inevitable part of life, and that Carpentier's goal, then, is that we should actively commit ourselves to a positive cause through recognition of our responsibility for ourselves and our society, rather than tacitly accept the status quo through a passive or deterministic attitude.

À l'horizon de ce travail se trouve la volonté d'affirmer la cohésion et les nuances d'un imaginaire caribéen, construit en dialogue avec tous les substrats culturels et les expériences de l'histoire et du paysage dont il est issu. L'étude se concentre sur les œuvres de trois auteurs qui ont fourni une réflexion critique sur la création littéraire et sur le rôle de l'artiste caribéen ou latino-américain : Alejo Carpentier, Édouard Glissant, Derek Walcott. Ils arpentent le réel caribéen, dans une tension toujours renouvelée entre un canon littéraire inculqué depuis l'autre rive européenne, et la volonté de représenter dans et par le texte littéraire les pratiques vives de l'oralité. Comment concilier les tensions entre médiation (inter)textuelle et immédiateté ou coïncidence rêvée du chant, pour écrire avec justesse l’histoire oblitérée d’un archipel ou d’un continent ? Je développe à partir de leurs usages une conception dynamique de l'intertextualité comme dialogue, confrontation et revitalisation de la mémoire écrite, qui entend dépasser l'axe binaire de la soumission ou la subversion à un canon écrit surtout européen. J'envisage en particulier l'axe Méditerranée-Caraïbe pour penser les phénomènes de transferts et de différenciation et montrer comment l'Antiquité gréco-latine peut servir à articuler le désir de fondation et la rencontre entre performance orale et trace écrite. J'examine enfin comment le désir d'oralité, allié à la notion de communauté, travaille les textes du corpus, à travers un certain nombre de scènes de passage, de scènes rituelles, ou de scènes limites de la représentation. / This work intends to stand for the cohesion and the nuances of a Caribbean imaginary, which is based on a constant dialogue with all the cultural substrates and the experiences of history and landscape. The study focuses on the works of three writers who produced a critical appraisal of literary creation and the role of the Caribbean or Latin-American artist: Alejo Carpentier, Édouard Glissant, Derek Walcott. They keep measuring the Caribbean reality, in a continuous tension between a literary canon often brought and taught from the European shore and view, and the will to represent in and by the literary text the vivid practices of orality. How can we conciliate the tensions between (inter)textual mediation and immediacy or coincidence of the song, in order to write the obliterared history of an archipelago or a continent? Reading their intertextual uses, I develop a dynamic conception of intertextuality as dialogue, confrontation and revitalization of literary memory, which intends to go beyond the binary axis of submission or subversion to European written canon. I study in particular the Mediterranean-Caribbean axis to think about the cultural transfers and differentiation, in order to show how the Greek and Roman tradition can be used to articulate the desire for foundation and the encounters between oral performance and written traces. Finally, I examine how the desire for orality, which seems to traduce a desire of community, influences the textual composition, through the study of scenes of passing, ritual scenes and boundary scenes of representation.

São romances que se aproximam por conciliarem o enfoque da situação do negro no espaço do subdesenvolvimento - tema herdado do regionalismo naturalista com a denúncia do capitalismo e da sociedade de classes. Representariam, portanto, uma linhagem "engajada" da tradição regionalista, que se desenvolve na literatura da América latina, em sintonia com o fenômeno de politização da vida e da cultura desta sociedade a partir dos anos 30, sob a influência da teoria marxista. Às motivações da consciência diante das questões sociais, que justificam o desenvolvimento deste tipo de romance, acrescente-se o impulso legitimador promovido pelo "prestígio" do realismo socialista. A descrição destes romances - numa perspectiva sócio-antropológica, em que tem destaque o delineamento das relações afetivas como sintoma da dominação de classe -- permitiu a identificação de procedimentos que caracterizam as variações desta tendência na obra de cada autor. Neste sentido, procuramos verificar o problema, presente em toda literatura política, da adequação entre a autonomia da forma e as determinações da ideologia. As soluções encontradas por Amado e Carpentier irão dizer da excelência de suas narrativas, enquanto arte revolucionária, segundo os princípios da estética marxista / Abstract: In the field of comparative studies this inquiry aims at analyzing and interpreting the novels Jubiabá, Mar Morto, Terras do sem fim, written by Jorge Amado and Écue-Yamba-Ó and La consagración de la primavera by Alejo Carpentier. The relationship among these novels exists in that there is an attempt to reconcile and focus on the status of blacks in underdeveloped contexts - a theme inherited from regional naturalist movements - which denounces capitalism and the class society. The novels, therefore, are within the naturalist regional literary tradition of commitment to a cause, which developed in Latin American Literature. In addition, they are a reflection of the political consciousness developed during the thirties influenced by the Marxist perspective. A conscious reaction to social problems, and a desire to legitimate the existing social conditions, added to the prestige of socialist realism, justifies the development of this type of novel. Through a description of these novels and from a socio-anthropological perspective in which an outline of affective relationships symptomatic of class domination are highlighted, it was possible to identify the procedures that characterize the various manifestations of this tendency in the work of each author. In this manner, the problems of political literature and the ways in which autonomy of form were adapted to the requirements of ideology are identified. The solutions to these problems found by Amado and Carpentier point out the distictive quality of their narrative as revolutionary art based on Marxist aesthetic theory / Doutorado / Teoria Literaria / Doutor em Letras
