Embora o escritor seja considerado um dos mais significativos do período, sua obra não tem sido tão estudada quanto a de outros modernistas estadunidenses do mesmo período, como por exemplo, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway ou Scott Fitzgerald. Após uma breve introdução responsável por apresentar o autor, o primeiro capítulo da dissertação visa investigar as relações entre Manhattan e as principais características literárias modernistas, no intento de compreender o motivo pelo qual a obra tem sido deixada num segundo plano. Sustenta-se aqui a hipótese de que isto se daria devido ao fato de ela não corresponder exatamente ao que tem sido definido como a essência do modernismo, apresentando traços que a aproximariam do realismo. O segundo capítulo propõe uma abordagem cinematográfica de Manhattan, justamente, no sentido de apreender a relação entre características modernistas e realistas. Para isto, parte-se da análise estrutural da obra realizada por Pouillon e Sartre e dos conceitos de montagem de Griffith e Eisenstein. Em seguida, empreende-se uma análise a partir destes referenciais teóricos. O terceiro capítulo, com base nas reflexões estabelecidas no segundo, discorre a respeito do modo como a cidade de Nova York está presente na obra e apresenta a análise das narrativas de três de seus personagens principais. Nas considerações finais, é reconhecida a importância que a noção de simultaneidade - que é somente obtida por meio de uma prosa cinematográfica, visando, justamente, a representação da metrópole - possui na obra e a necessidade de um olhar crítico-reflexivo para a compreensão nas relações expressas em Manhattan / This study aims to present an analysis of the modernist novel Manhattan Transfer (1925), by the writer John Dos Passos. After introducing the author, the first chapter investigates the relations between Manhattan and the main literary modernist characteristics, intending to understand the reason why the work of Dos Passos has been in a second plan by the critics. We endorse the hypothesis that it occurs because Manhattan doesn‟t exactly coincide with what has been considered the essence of the modernism, presenting characteristics that are close to the realism. The second chapter purposes a Manhattan‟s cinematographic approach precisely in the sense of grasping the relation between modernist and realist characteristics. In order to do it, we start with the structural analysis of Dos Passos‟s work made by Pouillon and Sartre; and with the Griffith‟s and Eisentein‟s concept of montage. After that, we perform an analysis according to these theoretical references. The third chapter, based on the ideas of the second, is about New York and its representation in the novel and presents an analysis of three of the most important characters. In the final consideration, it is argued the significance of the idea of simultaneity, obtained thanks to a cinematographic prose with the purpose of depicting the metropolis, and the need of a reflexive and critic view to understand the relations that are presented in Manhattan

No. of bitstreams: 1 raquelsalgadocarneiro.pdf: 9415328 bytes, checksum: a65108f1df042e72df48fb2a04955d06 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-07-09 / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar a pesquisa sobre a dinâmica da inserção do comércio de alimentos nas cidades, sobretudo na cidade de Juiz de Fora/MG, especificamente no Bairro Alto dos Passos e, como a presença massiva deste tipo de comércio pode transformar o espaço urbano, gerando uma centralidade comercial ou mesmo, um centro gastronômico. Como marco teórico, partiu-se da concepção que a atividade comercial é inerente à sociedade e está intrinsecamente ligada à urbanidade e que o comércio de alimentação está presente desde os primórdios da humanidade, em pontos nodais e cruciais na formação das cidades. O processo metodológico compreendeu a revisão bibliográfica, com foco na história da alimentação e na inserção destes estabelecimentos nas cidades, assim como sobre a cidade de Juiz de Fora e o bairro estudado. Além da revisão bibliográfica e documental, foi feito um levantamento de dados através da pesquisa documental e ampliada pelo trabalho de campo, no Alto dos Passos, para identificar os empreendimentos do setor e analisar como se dão suas inserções no bairro. A coleta de dados gerou o georreferenciamento dos pontos encontrados, e mapa da localização dos principais pontos de comércios de alimentação na cidade, o que se fez peça fundamental para a discussão o papel do Bairro Alto dos Passos enquanto centralidade comercial. Pode-se, através desta ferramenta, visualizar as áreas de adensamento do comércio de alimentação e também fazer uma análise comparativa da ocupação deste bairro em relação ao restante do município. Ao final, conclui-se que a dinâmica de inserção dos bares e restaurantes vem transformado a área gradativamente, reforçando a identidade de centro gastronômico e contribuindo para sua relevância na centralidade da cidade. / -

I'm an Alien in New York : How Capitalism Creates Alienation in Dos Passos’ Manhattan Transfer

Thorén, Anna January 2016 (has links)
This essay investigates how capitalism affects the characters in John Dos Passos’ novel Manhattan Transfer. It argues how capitalism in many instances leads to alienation in various ways. In order to understand the historical context of the novel and to perform this character study, the concepts of modernism, modernity, Marxism, capitalism and alienation are put forward in the theoretical framework as the foundation of the essay. The main theories used are Georg Lukács’ definition of heaviness, Ferdinand Tönnies’ discussion on community and society and Melvin Seeman’s presentation of the ways in which the term alienation has been used and explained over the years.

A study of the interrelations between Dos Passos' personal philosophy, objectives, and techniques and the influence of the zeitgeist on them

Wilson, James R. 01 January 1940 (has links)
For several reasons Dos Passos is important to the development of American literature. His novels, with their integrity, breadth, and architectonic form, are painted on a larger canvas than any other American writers. In Manhattan Transfer, his fourth novel, he attempted to portray the greatest metropolis in the world, New York City. He succeeded as well as anyone ever has. Then, refusing to rest on his cars, he went on to the trilogy U. S. A., which takes all of twentieth century American life as its subject. This is Dos Passos' epic of modern Americanlife, the most successful of the many attempts to write the "great American novel". So the vert scope and excellence of Dos Passos' novels demand consideration Then there are technical innovations--tentative in Manhattan Transfer, thoroughgoing in U. S. A.--which have added dimensions to the American novel. Some of these are entirely original, some stem from James Joyce's Ulysses. Yet even the borrowed devices have been completely assimilated. These new techniques arose partly because of the feeling that naturalism gave an inadequate picture of all aspects of humanity. And, as the critic Edmund Wilson has shown, Joyce met this problem by a synthesis of the two French literary methods, symbolism and naturalism. Now Dos Passos has introduced this symbolism-naturalism into American literature. And he has democratized the experimental techniques; Joyce is read mainly by literary experts; Dos Passos can be read by anyone. If, as some believe, the importance of this amalgamation of symbolism and naturalism lies in the future, then Dos Passos will be remembered as the first American writer to use it. While Dos Passos has always been in the vanguard, his relations with his generation have been intimate and pervasive. In many ways he is more typical of his generation than any other significant writer. The Zeitgeist of the War generation is fundamental to all his books. He is both a result and a cause of America's coming of age--and the defeat of neo-Humanism. Even the development of his political ideas has in many ways paralleled the ideas of other writers, For instance, his disillusionment in the radical parties contained in Adventures of a Young (1939) came to nearly all writers later in the same year with the Russian-German pact, Thus, though Dos Passos was an innovator, neither his internal development as an artist nor his contribution to American literature can be understood except in the context of his age. This is to be, then, a study of the interrelations between Dos Passos' personal philosophy, objectives, and techniques and the influence of the Zeitgeist on them.
