Clarice Lispector, uma plagiadora de si mesma: republicação nas crônicas do Jornal do Brasil (1967-1973) / Clarice Lispector, a self-plagiarist: republications in Jornal do Brasil (1967 - 1973)

Thais Torres de Souza 19 September 2008 (has links)
During the seven years when Clarice Lispector published her chronicles in the newspaper Jornal do Brasil (1967 1973), she republished several novels from books which had been put into print prior to her work in the newspaper, as well as first versions of texts that would be later re-edited in other communication vehicles. This aim of this paper is to outline those publications and analyze the effects from this constant self-plagiarism on Lispectors work in the newspapers and books. We establish that these repetitions are due, on one hand, to the authors negligence regarding her activities in the newspaper, once we assume that there is no effort from Clarice to produce original chronicles. On the other hand, she seemed to be more interested on publishing some texts than others, what would point some kind of explicit literary choice and a need for reaffirming and re-reading her own texts by republishing them. The analysis of the changes performed between the publications reveals what reformulations were made and, in the case of the texts which had suffered almost no changes, how does this fact establish an interest on reaffirming their importance, by exposing them to different audiences. We believe that the \"self-plagiarism\", by revealing the author\'s quest for the comprehension of her own work, points out to the major problematics of Clarician\'s creative processes. / During the seven years when Clarice Lispector published her chronicles in the newspaper Jornal do Brasil (1967 1973), she republished several novels from books which had been put into print prior to her work in the newspaper, as well as first versions of texts that would be later re-edited in other communication vehicles.

Prosper's Chronicle: A Critical Edition and Translation of the Edition of 445

Brook's, Deanna January 2014 (has links)
This thesis seeks to further research into Prosper’s chronicle and to counter Theodor Mommsen’s conclusions that Prosper made no editorial changes between the 445 and 455 editions of his chronicle. The ultimate result will be to prove that there were significant and deliberate alterations made by Prosper and to create a critical edition and translation of the chronicle of 445. The methodology includes establishing Prosper’s place in the Latin chronicle tradition, his alleged role as secretary to Pope Leo, his supposed residence in Rome and his theological views. Mommsen’s edition will then be used to compare the manuscripts of the 445 and 455 editions and to determine what differences exist. This comparison will show that Prosper not only continued his own chronicle but also edited it between 445 and 455. We will then fill the void left by Mommsen when he created only one edition by providing a critical edition and translation of the 445 chronicle for the first time.

A opinião do cronista se constrói através da Cognição Social seja pelo cotidiano ou pelo fato noticiado; 3. As categorias textuais estabelecem uma relação entre o inusitado da notícia, o conhecido da notícia já publicada e o Marco das Cognições Sociais

Obraz města Českých Budějovic v historiografických narativních pramenech raného novověku / The burgher chronicle of České Budějovice of the Early Modern Period

KVĚTOVÁ, Miroslava January 2019 (has links)
This thesis deals with the study of historiographical narrative sources of České Budějovice from the early modern period. Research is set in a European context. Especially in the German-speaking countries, a number of challenging studies have already emerged from which it is possible to draw suggestions and comparisons. Methodologically, the work is focused on the research of historical-anthropological issues, which could reveal the thought-world of burghers in the early modern period. However, the basis of the dissertation is a codicological analysis of the external and internal features of the manuscripts and their comparison. First, the thesis introduces individual sources, including biographies of scribes overlapping into the 19th century, then the research interest of historians in these sources is presented up to the present day. It is essential to identify the types of sources in which chronicle or memorial records can be found, and to determine the forms of their preservation. Emphasis is also placed on the authors and motivations that led them to create the chronicles. The aim of the analysis of thematic areas of records and their mutual comparison is to find out whether urban historiographical narrative sources could create urban identity and could form the image of the city. The main contribution of this work is to deepen the understanding of historiographical narrative sources of cities and to research of the thinking and action of early modern urban inhabitants. The work also deals with the comparison with other important writing centres in the 16th to 18th century and examines the impact of historical events and artistic and cultural directions on the form of these sources. Part of this work is a list of narrative sources for the history of České Budějovice from the early modern period, which can be used for better understanding the issue and could support further research on the city's history.

O reflexo do cotidiano nas crônicas de Raul Pompéia: um olhar sobre a crônica jornalística-literária / The reflection of daily life in Raul Pompéia\'s chronicles: a look at the jornalistic-literary chronicle

Morato, Mirian Cristina Fernandes Bailo 23 March 2010 (has links)
Este trabalho acadêmico pretende demonstrar que a produção cronística de Raul Pompéia está centrada em uma relação da linguagem jornalística com a literária, com imbricações entre essas duas vertentes. A metáfora é de um serpentear que desliza entre as mesmas. O subjetivismo de Pompéia campeia tanto em uma ética jornalística compromissada com a transformação e aprimoramento da sociedade. O corpus selecionado para demonstrar o objetivo acima são as crônicas jornalísticas desse autor, publicadas no jornal O Estado de São Paulo, no período de 1890 a 1893 e compiladas por Afrânio Coutinho no vol VIII, Crônicas 3, das páginas 39 a 317. Desse corpus foram selecionadas 06 delas. A esse recorte, em alguns momentos, foram acrescidos excertos de outras crônicas, a medida do necessário para fazer a demonstração do que se pretendia. Alguns teóricos básicos foram selecionados para sedimentar cientificamente essas idéias: Teun A. van Dijk, Gonzalo Martin Vivaldi, Vitor Manuel de Aguiar e Silva, Emil Staiger, entre outros. Percebeu-se que Pompéia adiantava alguns conceitos do newsmaking (gatekeeper e agenda setting). Além disso, as marcas de enunciação dessas crônicas evidenciaram uma preocupação do autor com o público leitor em busca de um feedback. |Assim sendo, percebeu-se a importância desse estudo para o jornalismo, a crônica jornalística, a literatura do séc. XIX, entre outros. / This project work intends to show that the production of chronicles of Raul Pompéia is centered between on a relationship of the journalism language with literary , with ovelaps between both.

Rubem Braga e o semanário Comício: cidade, política e imprensa no segundo governo Vargas / Rubem Braga and the Comício newspaper: city, politics and the press in the second Vargas government

Gaspar, Samantha dos Santos 10 January 2012 (has links)
Neste trabalho analiso o semanário antigetulista Comício, fundado por Rubem Braga, Joel Silveira e Rafael Corrêa de Oliveira e que circulou entre maio e outubro de 1952. Debruço-me sobre o periódico tendo como arcabouço teórico-metodológico o triângulo autor-obra-público formulado por Antonio Candido. Assim, discorro sobre os colaboradores (autor), sobre a estrutura, o estilo e o conteúdo (obra) e sobre os anúncios publicitários e a seção O leitor escreve, indicadores que permitem recompor a sua recepção (público). No quadro de colaboradores, além dos próprios fundadores, estavam nomes de dois campos, o literário e o jornalístico: Fernando Sabino, Otto Lara Resende, Paulo Mendes Campos, Carlos Castello Branco, Clarice Lispector, Sérgio Porto, Millôr Fernandes, Antônio Maria, Lúcio Rangel, Eneida entre outros. Localizo essa experiência literário-jornalística no interior das transformações pelas quais a imprensa passava na década de 1950, enfatizando a sua posição no interior da imprensa nacionalista. O conteúdo do semanário é analisado a partir de três eixos: os editoriais, as reportagens sobre o povo e os textos de Rubem Braga. Partindo dos editoriais, apreendo de que forma o cenário, os atores e os acontecimentos políticos eram retratados e interpretados. Dentre as questões candentes no período e que foram por eles debatidas, destaco o temor sobre a possibilidade de instauração de mais um regime ditatorial por parte de Getúlio Vargas e a questão da liberdade de imprensa no Brasil. A economia do país também é discutida, tendo como foco a questão da exploração do petróleo nacional. Outro assunto muito presente em Comício é o que diz respeito à classe trabalhadora e ao que é definido como povo. São muitas as reportagens que apresentam o universo do trabalhador ao leitor do semanário. Por meio delas é possível ter acesso a uma percepção específica sobre a cidade do Rio de Janeiro no período. Por fim, debruço-me sobre a seção Os dias do Presidido e sobre as crônicas de Rubem Braga, com o intuito de apreender a forma como o autor se posicionava em relação aos assuntos cruciais da época. Nas páginas de Comício, encontramos um testemunho crítico e reflexivo a respeito de um período conturbado da história nacional, que foi o segundo governo Vargas. / This dissertation analyses the weekly Getúlio Vargas opposition newspaper called Comício (Rally), released by Rubem Braga, Joel Silveira and Rafael Corrêa de Oliveira and published from March to October, 1952. My approach to the newspaper is informed by the theoretical and methodological framework proposed by Antonio Candido, based on the author - literary work - audience triangle. Thus, in what refers to the authorship I deal with the writers whose articles were published on Comícios pages; regarding the literary work, I discuss the structure, style and contents of Comício; simultaneously, I analyze the reception by way of indicators such as advertisement and readers letters. Besides the founders of the newspaper, others writers from the literary and journalist fields contributed with articles and writings, for instance Fernando Sabino, Otto Lara Resende, Paulo Mendes Campos, Carlos Castello Branco, Clarice Lispector, Sérgio Porto, Millôr Fernandes, Antônio Maria, Lúcio Rangel, and Eneida. For this reason, I consider this journalistic and literary experience as part of the transformations faced by the Brazilian press in the 1950s, by emphasizing its position within the nationalist press. My interpretation of Comicios contents follows three analytical axes: the editorials, the issues focused on the people; and the texts wrote by Rubem Braga. The editorials shed light into the ways in which the political scene, actors and events were portrayed and interpreted. Among the main concerns from the period, which became a topic in their debates, I highlight the fear of a new dictatorship by Getúlio Vargas and the struggle to preserve the freedom of press in Brazil. Brazilian economy was also a topic of discussion, especially the exploration of national petroleum. A lot of reports focused the working class, its reality and what was defined as the people. By way of that news it is possible to access a specific view of the city of Rio de Janeiro at that time. Finally, I focus on the section named The days of the Presided (Os dias do Presidido) and other Rubem Bragas chronicles, seeking to understand how the author positioned himself regarding crucial issues of his time. Through the pages of Comício, we find a critical and reflexive testimonial about a turbulent period of the Brazilian History, represented by Getúlio Vargas second mandate.

Natureza peregrina: a fauna e a flora das índias ocidentais nas crônicas oficiais hispânicas (1570-1620) / Pilgrim nature: the new worlds fauna and flora in the Hispanic Official Chronicles (1570-1620)

Oliveira, Flavia Preto de Godoy 11 March 2016 (has links)
Esta tese apresenta uma reflexão acerca dos conhecimentos sobre a fauna e a flora do Novo Mundo produzidos pelas instituições vinculadas à Coroa espanhola entre os anos de 1570 e 1620. Para tanto, optou-se pela análise das crônicas oficiais e dos documentos expedidos pelo Consejo de Indias que demandavam informações sobre o mundo natural americano. As configurações e as funções que assumiam os saberes sobre os animais e as plantas nas estruturas burocráticas e no espaço discursivo das crônicas oficiais são elementos analisados ao longo dos quatro capítulos que compõem a tese. No primeiro apartado, além de discussões teóricas e historiográficas sobre as relações entre império, conhecimento e ciência, foram examinadas algumas das cédulas e instruções enviadas pelo Consejo de Indias a diferentes partes do continente no período anterior a 1570. O segundo capítulo foi dedicado à análise da reforma empreendida por Juan de Ovando no Consejo de Indias, sobretudo, em relação às leis e demandas relativas à coleta de dados e construção de conhecimentos sobre o continente americano, também foram discutidos aspectos relacionados à criação do cargo de cosmógrafo o cronista maior das Índias. O terceiro capítulo está dedicado ao exame das obras do primeiro cosmógrafo e cronista maior das Índias, Juan López de Velasco. O último capítulo está centrado no estudo dos dois cronistas oficiais das Índias que atuaram durante o reinado de Felipe III: Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas e Pedro de Valencia. Com a análise desse conjunto documental, pretendemos evidenciar a configuração de uma cultura epistêmica no seio das instituições oficiais, a qual estava em diálogo com tradições letradas e científicas do período, bem como com os anseios de constituição de uma ideia de império para a Monarquia Hispânica. / This thesis presents a reflection about the knowledge of the New Worlds fauna and flora, generated by the institutions linked to the Spanish Crown between the years of 1570 and 1620. For this, it was opted for the analysis of the official chronicles and documents issued by Consejo de Indias that demanded information about the American natural world. The configurations and the functions that took on the knowledge about animals and plants in the bureaucratic structures and in the discursive space of the official chronicles are analyzed elements during the four chapters that compound the thesis. In the first part, beyond the theoretical and historiographical discussions about the relationships among the empire, knowledge and science, were examined some of the documents and instructions sent by Consejo de Indias to different parts of the continent in the period before 1570. The second chapter was dedicated to the analysis of the reform made by Juan de Ovando in Consejo de Indias, mainly with regard to laws and demands linked to data gathering and knowledge building about the American continent and also were discussed aspects related to the creation of the cosmographer-chronicler major of Indies position. The third chapter is dedicated to the examination of the first cosmographer-chronicler major of Indies Juan Lopez de Velascos work. The last chapter is focused on the analysis of two Indies official chroniclers that acted during Felipe IIIs reign: Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas and Pedro de Valencia. With the analysis of this documentation, it is intended to emphasize the configuration of an epistemic culture within the official institutions, culture related to literate and scientific traditions of that period as well as to the desire to establish an idea of empire for the Hispanic monarchy.
