A pesquisa consiste em aproximações aos Sonâmbulos, de Hermann Broch, e privilegia aspectos históricos e construtivos dessa trilogia composta de Pasenow ou o romantismo, Esch ou a anarquia e Huguenau ou a objetividade. Está dividida em duas partes. Na primeira, predomina a discussão do contexto literário e histórico, do pensamento do autor e de questões teóricas do romance como gênero. Aqui, tomamos a trilogia por um comentário sem igual à crise do romance de seu tempo, as ideias de Broch por uma ética da totalidade, e propomos uma retórica realista e metafísica como recurso-base do texto dos Sonâmbulos. Na segunda parte, prevalecem observações sobre a configuração da narrativa e investimos no jogo das semelhanças e diferenças dos três títulos. O objetivo é organizar um quadro para o entendimento do lugar dos Sonâmbulos e de sua especificidade literária. Impaciência do conhecimento, em Broch, significa poesia apta a se adiantar à ciência, romance capaz de se adiantar à filosofia. / This research is devoted to Herman Brochs trilogy The sleepwalkers. The focus of our interest lies on the historical and constructive aspects of the novels Pasenow the romantic, Esch the anarchist and Huguenau the realist. The study is divided in two parts. The first one contains a discussion on the literary and historical context, on the authors thought and on theoretical questions about the novel as a genre. In our view, the trilogy offers a unique commentary upon the crisis of the novel around 1930. Moreover, we take Brochs ideas as an ethics of totality and we propose a realist and metaphysical rhetoric as a key device of the text of The sleepwalkers. The second part consists of observations on the narrative composition, in which we analyze the dynamics of similarities and differences among the three titles. Our aim is to provide a framework for the understanding of the trilogys literary place and specificity. Impatience of knowledge in Broch means poetry capable of anticipating science, novel being able to anticipate philosophy.

Esta dissertação promove uma leitura da obra Nadie nada nunca (1980), do escritor argentino Juan José Saer, em função das hipóteses sobre a morte do romance e a impossibilidade de narrar. Tomando o paradoxo como elemento fundamental de qualquer romance contemporâneo, identifica o paradoxo específico dessa obra na alternância entre impossibilidade de movimento e revolução contínua da matéria. Cada um desses preceitos assumidos pelo livro resulta em uma poética própria poética da imobilidade e poética da mobilidade ambas aliando-se para converter a obra em uma seqüência de enigmas e interrogações, prenhe de auto-referências e ambigüidades. Um universo próprio que se basta em sua infinidade complexa e obscura, e que desse modo ganha status de objeto autônomo do mundo, propondo uma possível resposta ao impasse em que se encontram a narrativa e a representação / This dissertation suggests an interpretation of the novel Nadie nada nunca (1980), written by the Argentine Juan José Saer, according to the multiple hypotheses about the death of the novel and the impossibility of narrative. Taking paradox as an essential element of any contemporary novel, the dissertation identifies the specific paradox of this work in the alternation between the impossibility of movement and the continuous revolution of matter. Each of these precepts assumed by the book results in a poetics a poetics of immobility and a poetics of mobility both of which combine in order to convert the novel into a sequence of enigmas and inquisitions, filled with selfreferences and ambiguities. A universe of its own that is self-sufficient in its complex and obscure infinity, and therefore achieves a status of an autonomous object of the world, offering a possible answer to the impasse confronted by narrative and representation

Estudo da crise do narrador onisciente nos romances Malone meurt (1951), de Samuel Beckett, e A hora da estrela (1977), de Clarice Lispector. Atravessados pela memória textual de seus autores implícitos, os narradores-escritores Malone e Rodrigo S. M. fracassam ao criar histórias aos moldes do realismo formal. Malgrado seus esforços para estabelecer uma distância segura em relação à matéria narrada, acabam por replicar nela não apenas a si próprios, mas sobretudo motivos, episódios e até mesmo falas de personagens de obras anteriores. Paradoxalmente, a busca por firmarem-se como senhores absolutos do processo ficcional apenas sublinha o quanto são objetos desse processo. / A study about the crisis of the omniscient third-person narrator in the novels Malone meurt (1951), from Samuel Beckett, and A hora da estrela (1977), from Clarice Lispector. Laced by textual memory of their implied authors, the narrators-writers Malone and Rodrigo S. M. fail to tell stories according to the formal realism molds. Despite their efforts to create a safe distance between them and the narratives, they end up not only mirroring themselves in it but mainly mirroring several subjects, episodes, and even phrases from previous work. Paradoxically, their search to be the absolute subject of the creation process only emphasizes how they are objects of this process.

In order to do so, it will scrutinize the concepts of novel, experience, montage, choc and epic thought by both authors, and also by their main influences, namely, Lukács and Brecht. The aspects of the montage on the actual novel will be deeply considered, mainly because Benjamin points out in an essay about Döblin's novel, named Krisis des Romans that the montage is one of the most relevant aspects the novel delivers to German literature on the Weimar republic period. It will also be presented the changes the Grosstadt shapes into the 20th century subjects and therefore into the novels they write and read, in particular, Berlin Alexanderplatz. And finally, an investigation regarding the political relations between both authors / Esta dissertação de mestrado pretende compreender o romance de Alfred Döblin, Berlin Alexanderplatz, através da análise crítica de Walter Benjamin. Para tanto, serão escrutinados os conceitos de romance, experiência, montagem, choque e épica elaborados por ambos os autores e também por suas principais influências, nomeadamente, Lukács e Brecht. Os aspectos da montagem no romance Berlin Alexanderplatz serão considerados em pormenores, principalmente por que Benjamin indica, em um ensaio sobre o romance de Döblin chamado Krisis des Romans , que a montagem é um dos aspectos mais relevantes que o romance à literatura alemã no período que compreende a República de Weimar. Também serão apresentadas a mudanças que a Grosstadt traz aos sujeitos do século XX e por consequência às novelas que estes leem e escrevem, em especial, Berlin Alexanderplatz. E finalmente, será feita uma investigação acerca das relações políticas de ambos autores

This study is a thematic-descriptive investigation of the reproduction and transformation of norms in the theoretical discourse on the novel during the 1960s. Primary literature consists of articles and essays published in West German literary and cultural journals 1959-1967. The term ‘discourse’ is applied partly in accordance with Busse/Hermanns/Teubert (1994), the term ‘theory of the novel’ chiefly in accordance with Lämmert (ed. 1984). ‘Ideology’ is not used in the sense of ‘false ideology’ but rather as an umbrella term for various types of value-related statements. From this, the theory-of-the-novel discourse is perceived as an aesthetic-ideological discourse, containing statements directed at the contemporary novel which have clear programmatic function and significant thematic width. The objective of the investigation is to show that specific comprehensive thematic fields – Werteverlust (breakdown and loss of values), Subjektproblematik (‘problematisation of the concept of the subject’), Sprachproblematik (language related problems) and Realitätszerfall (reality loss, breakdown of the reality concept) – bear discursive significance as regards the discussion of literary norms during the 1960s, and that this discussion realises itself as two aesthetic-ideological discourses competing for interpretative precedence. The major issues are: Which reiterated patterns of argumentation, i.e. norm-related categories, concepts and rhetorical patterns, are used in the discourses for diagnoses and programmatic imperatives? How are the comprehensive thematic fields accentuated? What is treated, postulated or set aside as ‘truth’? How - based on the above – is the novel formulated as a ‘problem’ (‘crisis of the novel’)? The investigation confirms that the comprehensive thematic fields are particularly central to the theoretical discussion of literature in the 1960s. This manifests itself as a discursive re-evaluation process which may be characterised as a conflict between an ‘aesthetic-conservative discourse’ and a ‘discourse of change’ (‘Veränderungsdiskurs’) where the right to define and evaluate the novel in terms of literature is at stake. It is in the collision between these two discourses and their largely incompatible concepts of literature that the novel discursively becomes a ‘problem’. The discourses are maintained by specific reiterated patterns of argumentation which in the investigation are subsumed under the following headings: die negative Modernität (negative modernity), das bloß Moderne (phenomena of ‘fashionable character’, simply expressing trends) and das Überzeitliche und das Ganze (the timeless and the totality); respectively die traditionelle, bürgerliche Gesellschaft (traditional bourgeois society), die technisch-sprachliche Realität (technolinguistic reality) and der subjektive, sprachliche Realitätsausschnitt (‘subjective language based slice of reality’). The first group of argumentation patterns is linked to universal, ‘eternal’ and essential categories and inherited norms, ethical-aesthetical educational grounding and a ‘rhetoric of the spirit’ or of ‘mankind’, oriented around a specific reception of German Classicism and Idealism, a downgrading of the present and an upgrading of the past. The other group embraces an incipient constructivism, contextually bound and societal categories and norms as well as implicitly critical programmes of enlightenment, devaluing the past and ‘acknowledging’ rather than criticising the present. In doing so they tend rather to realise a rhetoric of the linguistic and political reality and of more modest programmatic proposals.
