Ce mémoire porte sur la poétique du fragmentaire dans trois ouvrages de Pierre Michon, soit "Trois auteurs", "Maîtres et serviteurs" et "Corps du roi". Plus qu’une préoccupation d’ordre formel, le fragmentaire y apparaît avant tout comme un champ de tensions, qui se manifeste à la fois sur le plan narratif, discursif et énonciatif. Une approche essentiellement poétique, à la jonction de la linguistique, de la rhétorique et de la narratologie, permet de réfléchir au fragmentaire dans ses effets, mais aussi dans ses affects. La recherche s’articule autour de trois grands axes : la généricité, la discontinuité et la représentation. Dans un premier temps, le fragmentaire est abordé par le prisme de la généricité, qui se traduit, dans l’œuvre de Michon, par une oscillation constante entre le biographique et le romanesque. La tension entre continuité et discontinuité est ensuite étudiée : marquée par les répétitions et variations, elle se manifeste à la fois sur le plan formel (le recueil) et stylistique (la syntaxe, les figures de style). Cette tension est également à comprendre sur le plan temporel, par une prédilection pour l’instant plutôt que pour la durée. Finalement, ce mémoire interroge la répercussion du fragmentaire sur la notion de représentation, qui subit alors un infléchissement : le récit n’est plus envisagé comme représentation, mais comme figuration, cette notion étant à comprendre à la fois comme posture énonciative et dans son rapport à l’image. La figuration est étudiée à partir des scènes romanesques essaimées dans les récits du corpus. / This thesis focuses on the poetics of the fragmentary in the work of Pierre Michon ("Trois auteurs", "Maîtres et serviteurs" and "Corps du roi"). More than a concern of a formal nature, the fragmentariness is first and foremost an area of tensions, revealed through narrative, discursive and enunciative schemes. A poetic approach, at the junction of linguistic, rhetoric and narratology, enables to reflect on the fragmentariness in its effects, but also in its affects. The research is structured around three axes : genericity, discontinuity and representation. The fragmentariness is first discussed through the lens of the genericity which, in the work of Michon, constantly oscillate between the biographical and the novelistic. The tension between continuity and discontinuity is then studied. Marked by repetitions and variations, this tension presents itself in the formal and stylistic forms. It is also to be understood on a temporal level, with a preference for instantaneity rather than for continuity. Finally, this thesis questions the impact of the fragmentariness on the notion of representation, which undergoes a reorientation : the story is no longer considered as a representation, but as a figuration, which is to be understood both as an enunciative position and in its relation to image. The figuration will be studied from the scenes punctuating Michon’s work.

By setting the writings of Etel Adnan, Annie Dillard, Marilynne Robinson and Rebecca Solnit into dialogue with those of the New England Transcendentalists, this thesis proposes a New Transcendentalism that both reinvigorates and reimagines Transcendentalist thought for our increasingly intersectional and deterritorialized contemporary context. Drawing on key re-readings by Stanley Cavell, George Kateb and Branka Arsić, the project contributes towards the twenty-first-century shift in Transcendentalist scholarship which seeks to challenge the popular image of New England Transcendentalism as uncompromisingly individualist, abstract and ultimately the preserve of white male privilege. Moreover, in its identification and examination of an interrelated poetics and politics of liminality across these old and new Transcendentalist writings, the project also extends the scope of a more recent strain of Transcendentalist scholarship which emphasises the dialogical underpinnings of the nineteenth-century movement. The project comprises three central chapters, each of which situates New Transcendentalism within a series of vertical and lateral dialogues. The trajectory of my chapters follows the logic of Emerson s ever-widening circles , in that each takes a wider critical lens through which to explore the dialogical relationship between my four writers and the New England Transcendentalists. In Chapter 1 the focus is upon anthropological theories of liminality; in Chapter 2 upon feminist interventions within psychoanalysis; and in Chapter 3 upon the revisionary work of Post-West criticism. In keeping with the dialogical analogies that inform this project throughout, the relationship examined within this thesis between Adnan, Dillard, Robinson and Solnit and the nineteenth-century Transcendentalists is understood as itself reciprocal, in that it not only demonstrates how my four contemporary writers may be read productively in the light of their New England forebears, but also how those readings in turn invite us to reconsider our understanding of those earlier thinkers.

Cette thèse a pour but l’analyse du discours de l’essai poétique et des moyens qui permettent sa traduction du français à l’italien. Elle s’articule en trois phases: - étude de l’essai poétique dans une perspective diachronique (son histoire et sa constitution en genre littéraire) et synchronique (sa forme) ;- analyse de ce qui rend l’essai poétique, tant du point de vue de l’auteur que du point de vue du lecteur ;- examen de la notion de traduction pragmatique et de traduction littéraire telles qu’elles sont proposées par la Théorie Interprétative de la traduction et l‘application de cette dernière aux traductions de deux essais de Predrag Matvejevitch. La démarche est moins prescriptive que descriptive : c’est la compréhension des mécanismes qui président à la construction et à la communication du sens qui est privilégiée. C’est de cette manière que l’on pourra percevoir les possibilités expressives du discours de l’essai et pénétrer un peu dans ce prodige qu’est la communication interlinguistique réalisée par le traducteur. / The purpose of my research is to study the poetical essay and the processes and conceptual tools specifically involved in the translation from French to Italian. The dissertation consists of three parts:- A study of the “poetical essay” from both a diachronic perspective (its historical emergence and success as an autonomous literary genre) and a synchronic standpoint (its form); - An analysis of what makes the essay “poetical” both from the author’s and the reader’s viewpoint.- An examination of the notions of “pragmatic translation” and “literary translation” as formulated in the Interpretive Theory of Translation and the application of the latter to the study of two selected poetical essays by Predrag Matvejević.My research is more concerned with description than with prescription. It primarily aims at understanding the mechanisms of construction and transmission of meaning. Hence it will be possible to grasp the expressive potentialities of the poetical essay, and to delve into the quintessence of inter-linguistic communication, as it takes place in translation.

O presente trabalho se propõe a analisar a leitura sociocultural do Brasil pós-64 feita por Edilberto Coutinho através das narrativas do livro Maracanã, Adeus e, tendo como base os postulados mais recentes da Teoria da Literatura, procurar identificar as contribuições literárias, históricas, sociológicas e antropológicas deixadas pelo autor em sua narrativa. O estudo procurará demonstrar determinadas minúcias do comportamento do brasileiro e de sua sociedade pelo viés futebolístico, pensando o futebol como Esporte Nacional e elemento dessa cultura. Procurará também apresentar mecanismos de controle social e cultural exercidos durante esse período pelos governos militares e, principalmente, a maneira escolhida pelo escritor para apresentar esse poder.

A análise de orientação sociológica surgiu porque os contos de Menalton, ao mesmo tempo em que proporcionam uma leitura de cunho intimista pelas crises das personagens, linguagem poética, fluxo de consciência, emprego da técnica impressionista e expressionista, entre outros aspectos, integram em sua estrutura as formas com que as relações sociais, valores e orientações ideológicas interferem nas personagens e contribuem para a economia do texto. Para mostrar as imbricações entre texto e contexto, recorremos ao método analítico de Antonio Candido, a crítica sociológica, baseado nas obras Literatura e Sociedade (1965) e Formação da literatura brasileira (1997). Além disso, nosso embasamento teórico está centrado em outros autores que dialogam, direta ou indiretamente, com a crítica sociológica de Candido, como João Alexandre Barbosa, (A leitura do intervalo. Ensaios de crítica, 1990, e Alguma crítica, 2002), René Wellek e Austin Warren, (Teoria da literatura, 1965), Luiz Costa Lima (Teoria da literatura em suas fontes, 2002) e Octavio Paz, (O arco e a lira, 1982). Propusemos uma divisão do corpus em quatro frentes temáticas, Morte/Memória, Relações familiares, Abandono/Solidão e Embate social como método que auxiliasse a leitura dos contos analisados (treze no total). Essa divisão, contudo, buscou apontar o tema sobressalente em cada conto e não propor uma leitura estanque das temáticas, uma vez que, de modo geral, cada narrativa transita entre os quatro grupos. Para essa divisão utilizamos Tomachevski (“Temática”, 1973) e o Dicionário de termos literários, de Massaud Moisés, 1974... / Our research tries to indicate the relationship between literature and society in the short stories of À sombra do cipreste (1999) and A coleira no pescoço (2006) by Menalton Braff, contemporary Brazilian author. The sociological reading arose because Menalton’s short stories, while providing an intimate reading because of the characters’ crises, poetic language, stream of consciousness, use of impressionist and expressionist technique in writing, among others characteristics, also make implicit the ways in which social relations, values and ideological orientations interfere with the characters and contribute to the economy of the text. To show the connections between text and context, we’ve used the analytical method of Antonio Candido, the sociological critic, based on the books Literatura e sociedade (1965) and Formação da literature brasileira (1997). Our theoretical framework also focuses on other authors that interact, directly or indirectly, with Candido’s sociological critic, as João Alexandre Barbosa (A leitura do intervalo. Ensaios de crítica, 1990, e Alguma crítica, 2002), René Wellek and Austin Warren, (Teoria da literatura, 1965), Luiz Costa Lima (Teoria da literatura em suas fontes, 2002) and Octavio Paz, (O arco e a lira, 1982). We have also proposed a division of the corpus into four thematic fronts, Death/Memory, Family Relationship, Abandonment/Loneliness and Social strike, as method which would help the reading of the short stories (thirteen in total). This division, however, sought to point the main theme in each story, but did not propose a reading of each theme tight, because each narrative moves among the four groups. To accomplish this division we’ve used Tomachevski (“Temática”, 1973) and the Dicionário de termos literários, by Massaud Moisés, 1974. From these theoretical assumptions, we sought to ascertain which social... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Dentre os inúmeros recursos que engendram esse desafio, destaca-se aqui a gaucherie, procedimento discutido pelo crítico Roland Barthes e que atua com um viés crítico e irônico, atribuindo ao objeto artístico um proposital aspecto de “rebaixamento”, ou, como o prório nome sugere, um caráter de “desvio” por ser “canhoto”, “torto”, e, por extensão, aparentemente “desajustado”, “mal feito”. Nesse sentido, esta tese discute especificamente o funcionamento da gaucherie na literatura, buscando evidenciar que essa sensação de “desvio” ou “rebaixamento” é atingida a partir de um trabalho com a linguagem calcado na exploração da fala coloquial, do discurso do senso comum, de imagens que assimilam as categorias contra-sublimes, como o grotesco, o kitsch, o mau gosto e as manifestações do riso (comicidade, paródia, carnavalização), dentre outros recursos. Para tanto, são analisados textos dos autores brasileiros Dalton Trevisan e Hilda Hilst, e dos portugueses José Cardoso Pires e Adília Lopes. Tais obras revelam tratar-se de um procedimento marcado pela extrema consciência na inserção desses aspectos, o que culmina em um movimento autorreferencial, pois a obra expõe à discussão o seus próprios mecanismos de construção. Com isso, são gerados curiosos efeitos de ironia, visto que o texto convida o leitor a lançar um olhar crítico e sintonizado com o modo peculiar como essas produções leem a própria arte, relativizando as noções pré-concebidas acerca do fazer literário / Comtenporary Art presents itself as a stage for experimentations and intensification of strategies of aesthetic elaboration that promote the questioning of artistic manifestation and make it problematic. Among the innumerable resources that engender this challenge, here we emphasize gaucherie, a procedure that is discussed by the critic Roland Barthes and acts as a critical and ironic bias, attributing to the artistic object an intentional aspect of “lowering”, or, as the name itself suggests, a character of “deviation” because it is “left-handed”, “crooked”, and, by extension, apparently “maladjusted”, “rough”. Accordingly, this thesis specifically discusses how gaucherie works in literature, trying to make evident that this sensation of “deviation” or “lowering” is achieved as a result of a work with language based on the exploration of colloquial speech, the common sense discourse, images that assimilate the counter-sublime categories, such as the grotesque, kitsch, bad taste and the manifestations of laughter (comicality, parody, carnivalization), among other resources. In order to do so, texts written by the Brazilian authors Dalton Trevisan and Hilda Hilst and by the Portuguese authors José Cardoso Pires and Adília Lopes are analyzed. Such literary works reveal it is a process marked by the extreme awareness in the insertion of these aspects, which culminates in a self-referential movement, for the literary work introduces to discussion its own construction mechanisms. Thus, curious effects of irony are created, given that the text invites the reader to cast a critical eye to it, a critical look that is in tune with the peculiar way in which these productions read their own art, making relative the preconceived notions about literary manifestation

As obras do escritor norte-americano Edgar Lawrence Doctorow aqui estudadas desenham um panorama criticamente iluminador da história dos Estados Unidos no século XX. Em The Book of Daniel, acompanhamos a trajetória da Esquerda americana dos anos 30 aos anos 60. Em Ragtime, o cenário histórico é a Belle Époque e a era do ragtime, do começo do século XX até a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Em Homer & Langley, o arco temporal se expande para abrigar grande parte do século da Primeira Guerra aos anos 80. Nos três romances há uma dialética entre o impulso de suscitar conexões e de figurar um quadro histórico e social mais amplo e a dificuldade de se realizar esse projeto por meio da própria linguagem e lógica da fragmentação, que impedem as articulações e emperram a representação. Nessa tese, procuro ler as ambiguidades e hesitações da forma nesses três romances como incertezas produtivas potenciais lições para o pensamento crítico contemporâneo, o qual tateia certezas num mundo em crise. Romances como Ragtime, The Book of Daniel e Homer & Langley são animados mais por uma hermenêutica da concretude do que por uma poética da relativização. A análise das estratégias de figuração do material histórico que compõe essas obras mostra como essas três narrativas revigoram o romance histórico na contemporaneidade / The novels by E. L. Doctorow studied here draw a critically illuminating panorama of American History in the 20th century. In The Book of Daniel, we follow the trajectory of the American Left from the thirties up to the sixties. In Ragtime, the historical scenery is the Belle Époque and the ragtime era, from the beginning of the century up to World War I. In Homer & Langley, the time frame is broadened to include almost the entire century from World War I up to de eighties. In those novels, we find a dialectical relationship between the impulse to bring forth connections and represent a larger social and historical picture, and the difficulty of achieving such a project through the very language and logic of fragmentation which obstructs the making of articulations and renders representation difficult. In this work, I try to read the ambiguities and hesitations of the form in those three novels as productive uncertainties potential lessons to contemporary critical thinking. Novels such as Ragtime, The Book of Daniel e Homer & Langley are animated more by a hermeneutics of the concrete than by a poetics of relativity. The analysis of the representational strategies those novels employ to depict the historical material from which they are made shows how those narratives reinvigorate the historical novel today

Este trabalho objetiva percorrer a partir de El río sin orillas os núcleos irradiadores fundamentais da poética do escritor argentino Juan José Saer (1937-2005), procurando analisar a matéria comum e as especificidades entre a escrita do ensaio e a prosa ficcional do autor. Publicado originalmente em 1991, El río sin orillas indaga sobre a história, a literatura e o imaginário cultural da sociedade argentina a partir de sua relação com o Rio da Prata. Ao longo da leitura de El río sin orillas, propõe-se ainda promover um diálogo do texto com a tradição do ensaísmo hispano-americano e, mais precisamente, com uma tradição de textos que o próprio Saer põe em evidência ao valorizar o caráter inclassificável de algumas obras. A partir destes objetivos principais, foram selecionados temas e questões que permitem analisar em El río sín orillas o deslocamento em dupla mão entre a escrita ensaística e a ficcional, bem como a tênue linha de fronteira que persiste entre os dois campos discursivos: o problema dos gêneros literários e a tradição das obras inclassificáveis; o entre-lugar estrangeiro; a literatura pensada pelo autor como uma antropologia especulativa; a invenção do passado; a violência e a política; a criação da geografia singular da zona saeriana. / This thesis explores the fundamental irradiating nuclei of the poetics of the Argentine writer Juan José Saer (1937-2005) in the essay El río sin orillas, aiming to analyze the the common aspects and specificities between the essay writing and fictional prose of the author. Originally published in 1991, El río sin orillas probes the history, literature and cultural imagination of Argentinian society through their relation with the River Plate. Along our reading of El río sin orillas, we also propose to promote a dialogue with the Hispanic- American tradition of essay writing and, more precisely, with the tradition of writing that Saer himself reveals through his valorization of the unclassifiable character of certain texts. In addition to these main goals, some themes and issues that allow us to analyze the two-way traffic between the authors essays and fictional prose as well as the blurry boundary between these two discursive fields have been selected: the problem of literary genres and the tradition of unclassifiable works; the in between space of the foreigner; the notion of literature in Saer as speculative anthropology; the invention of the past; violence and politics; and the creation of a singular geography of Saerian zone.

Esta dissertação propõe uma leitura da chamada ficção australiana de J. M. Coetzee composta por Elizabeth Costello (2003), Homem lento (2005) e Diário de um ano ruim (2007). Esses romances da fase madura do autor compartilham um núcleo de questões estéticas e éticas, configurando um conjunto significativo marcado pela inflexão autorreflexiva. O trabalho acompanha a constituição e a trajetória dos escritores-personagens Elizabeth Costello e Señor C, discutindo como a inserção do recurso do duplo do escritor desestabiliza as noções de autor, personagem e narrador, além de borrar os limites entre ficção e não ficção. A dramatização do processo criativo no centro das obras é outro foco da análise, com o objetivo de entender a encenação da impossibilidade do romance nos moldes do realismo formal. O estudo ainda tenta sugerir a resposta de Coetzee sobre a validade do romance no mundo contemporâneo. / This dissertation presents a reading of J. M. Coetzees so-called Australian fiction comprising the works Elizabeth Costello (2003), Slow Man (2005), and Diary of a Bad Year (2007). These novels, belonging to the authors late prose, share core aesthetic and ethical issues. They are meaningful works characterized by self-reflexive inflection. This study follows Elizabeth Costello and Señor C in their writer-characters constitution and journey to discuss how the presence of the writers double, as literary device, destabilizes the notions of author, character, and narrator, as well as it blurs the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction. The dramatization of the creative process in the center of Coetzees works is another focus of analysis aiming to understand the impossibility of staging the novel in formal realism patterns. This work also attempts to suggest Coetzees response on the validity of the novel in the contemporary world.
