No. of bitstreams: 1 Vanessa Alves Maximo dos Santos.pdf: 1791281 bytes, checksum: f0b2b15003ebd0802aafa8a1bd325c81 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-11-07 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, whose first part came to light in 1605, is one of the best known works in world literature and has received several interpretations. A controversial subject concerns the proposal of Salvador de Madariaga y Rojo, who proposed a slow and persistent process of symbiosis between the characters Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, from the work Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, resulting in the sanchificación of dom Quixote and in Sancho's quixotization. The proposal, made in the first half of the twentieth century, caused great repercussion in the scope of the Cervantine studies. The present work seeks to analyze the speech and the behavior of the characters throughout the narrative, in order to confirm or not Madariaga's proposal and, for that, concentrates on the analysis of two chapters "Moinhos de Vento" (Chapter VIII) and "Cravilenho" (cap.XLI) that make up the first and second part of Quixote, respectively. The research, which is a critical one, has the basic support in the theoretical-methodological proposal of Systemic-Functional Linguistics (LSF), in which the interpersonal metafunction encompasses the notion of modality as welll as the notion of appraisal – subdivided in affection (emotions), judgement (ethic) and appreciation (aesthetics). SFL allows the relation of the lexical-grammatical choices of the microstructure of the text with the macrostructure of the power relations and discourse ideology. The research should answer the following questions: (a) What grammatical choices confirm the sanchification of Don Quixote and the quixotization of Sancho? (b) What role does appraisal play in this process? (c) How is social critique made in this context? The analysis proves that there is in fact a change in the character of both characters, in terms of a mutual influence that happens throughout the narrative, in which a more careful examination discloses the implicit social critique woven by Cervantes / O livro Quixote, de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, cuja primeira parte veio a lume em 1605, é uma das obras mais conhecidas da literatura mundial e tem recebido várias interpretações. Um assunto controvertido, diz respeito à proposta de Salvador de Madariaga y Rojo, que propôs um processo de simbiose, lento e persistente, entre os personagens dom Quixote e Sancho Pança, da obra Quixote, de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, resultando na sanchificação de dom Quixote e na quixotização de Sancho. A proposta, feita na primeira metade do século XX, provocou grande repercussão no âmbito dos estudos cervantinos. O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar a fala e o comportamento das personagens ao longo da narrativa, a fim de confirmar, ou não, a proposta de Madariaga e, para tanto, concentra-se na análise de dois capítulos “Moinhos de Vento” (cap. VIII) e “Cravilenho” (cap.XLI) que compõem a primeira e a segunda parte de Quixote, respectivamente. A pesquisa, de cunho crítico, tem o apoio básico na proposta teórico-metodológica, da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), cuja metafunção interpessoal acolhe a noção de modalidade acrescida da avaliatividade – avaliação de afeto (emoções), julgamento (ética) e apreciação (estética), que inclui a avaliação social (avaliação de fenômenos sociais). A LSF permite relacionar as escolhas léxico-gramaticais da microestrutura do texto com a macroestrutura das relações de poder e de ideologia do discurso. Nesse contexto, incluímos questões referentes ao footing, à ameaça de face e de ironia. A pesquisa deve responder às seguintes perguntas: (a) Que escolhas gramaticais confirmam a sanchificação de dom Quixote e a quixotização de Sancho? (b) Que papel exerce a avaliatividade nesse processo? (c) Como é feita a crítica social nesse contexto? A análise comprova que há de fato uma mudança no caráter das duas personagens, em termos de uma mútua influência que acontece ao longo da narrativa, em que um exame detido capta a crítica social implícita tecida por Cervantes

This dissertation examines representations of legal, theological, and medical modes of case thinking and case narration in the novella collections of four early modern authors: Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549), Matteo Bandello (c.1485-1562), and Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616). It further investigates how these collections perform and problematize practices of narrating and interpreting cases while framing such practices within the context of the navigation of daily news. Indeed, keen observers of the capacity of informal and formal networks to circulate information and opinions in unpredictable ways and on scales unprecedented, these authors also used the novella genre—and the polysemy of the term “novella”—to intervene in contemporary debates on the value of novelty and on the merits of popularizing expert knowledge. I argue that the early modern novella’s role as a literary mediator between professional forms of the case and popular forms of the news report was instrumental to its durable transnational European success. Over the course of this dissertation, I show how these collections depict the art of storytelling qua case narration as an essential ethical component of professional casuistries and of everyday information exchanges. I draw attention to specific professional inflections of the case-novella-news nexus, in order to highlight how each author conceives—and makes the case for—the indispensability of storytelling to spiritual and civic life. I demonstrate that a juridical approach to cases and novelty takes precedence in Boccaccio’s Decameron. I show that, in contrast, Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron relies on distinctly theological conceptions of cases and news. I proceed to compare the type of moral casuistry found in the Heptaméron to that found in Matteo Bandello’s Novelle. Finally, I investigate the consequences of Cervantes’ predilection for a medical approach to case analysis, novelty, and news in his Novelas ejemplares. The broader ambition of this investigation is twofold: first, to contribute a literary and historical perspective to contemporary methodological debates on the value of case thinking in the human sciences and in the liberal professions, and second, to pave the way for an exploration of the casuistical foundations of modern journalism at a time when its epistemological and ethical priorities are sorely in need of being reassessed.

Miguel de Cervantes’s novel El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha Part One (1605) and Part Two (1615) has delighted readers for centuries. The literary criticism analyzing just this one product of Cervantes’s literary genius is voluminous. In particular, the novel’s structure has received significant scrutiny, and discussions regarding its unity, or lack thereof, abound. This debate rages today with Cervantine experts still espousing various theories. Puzzling over this quandary and asking why a truly convincing explanation regarding the structure has not emerged, we arrive at a partial answer. We believe that there is unity in the Quijote and that Cervantes created a unified work by ingeniously taking full advantage of the elements of both the “Byzantine” and the chivalric literary traditions, combining them in a harmonizing synthesis. Moreover, he resolved the problem of unity within variety by establishing thematic consistency throughout. The purpose of our study is to explore the confluence of the “Byzantine” and chivalric literary traditions in works that precede Cervantes and to examine how Cervantes innovatively worked with this element in the Quijote of 1605. We present a panoramic view of works written between the thirteenth and the mid-sixteenth centuries, which reveal writers’ efforts to combine, consciously or unconsciously, the various characteristics of the “Byzantine” and chivalric literary traditions. For this project, we look at six representative works written in Spanish or Italian that represent significant antecedents to the Quijote and Cervantes’s unique method of synthesizing the traditions: Libro de Apolonio, Libro del caballero Zifar, Orlando innamorato, Orlando furioso, Palmerín de Olivia, Los amores de Clareo y Florisea y los trabajos de la sin ventura Isea. We investigate each author’s approach at coupling the two traditions and determine his/her degree of success in merging them artistically to produce a coherent whole. Our analysis reveals that not only does Cervantes systematically integrate the two literary traditions in his parody, but he also skillfully devises a way to unify thematically the delightful variety in his work. To wit, Cervantes embraces the theme of literature (fiction) and life (reality) and explores the need for distinguishing judiciously between them. / text
