Cui Bono? — To Whom Is It a Benefit? : Edgar Allan Poe’s Critique of Emerson’s Transcendentalism

Lavikkala, Albin January 2023 (has links)
This essay is a contribution to literary history that explores Edgar Allan Poe’s criticism of the transcendentalist movement and its key figure Ralph Waldo Emerson through an analysis of the short stories “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “Never Bet the Devil Your Head.” By using genre criticism to define aspects of the Gothic genre, Poe’s criticism through Gothic tropes is studied together with an intertextual reading of the short stories and historical literary objects such as letters, magazines and literary reviews that details his views on transcendentalism. The purpose of this is to see if Poe used his fictional work to criticize his contemporaries. The analysis finds that “Never Bet the Devil Your Head” includes satirical comments on transcendentalist beliefs, as well one instance of specific criticism that targets Ralph Waldo Emerson as a writer - all of which can be connected to Poe’s non-fictional correspondence with fellow literati. In “The Fall of the House of Usher” Poe utilizes aspects of the Gothic genre that function as opposites to common transcendental beliefs.

Poe’s Theory of the Short Story and Hybridity in East Asian Short Fiction: Considering Mori Ogai’s “Maihime” and Su Manshu’s “Suizanji”

Wood, Anthony Michael 22 April 2024 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis considers how Mori Ōgai’s “Maihime” (1890) and Su Manshu’s “Suizanji” (1916) conform and differ from Edgar Allen Poe’s theory of the short story. It then considers Ōgai’s and Su’s reading of the short stories and East Asian short fiction as well as Ōgai’s definition of the short story to consider why these works of short fiction differ from Poe’s definition, concluding that they are hybrid works, which seek to combine the short story and East Asian short fiction.

L'effacement langagier : l'influence de la langue anglaise et d'Edgar Poe sur l'œuvre de Stéphane Mallarmé

Lamarre, Sébastien 16 April 2018 (has links)
Ce mémoire analyse les différentes formes d'anglophilie que l'on retrouve chez Stéphane Mallarmé. Edgar Poe est grandement responsable de l'attachement du poète français pour la langue anglaise. En effet, celui-ci affirme dans sa correspondance avoir appris cette langue afin de "mieux lire Poe". Cette étude le mène à devenir professeur d'anglais à Tournon où il connaît en 1866 sa "crise". À ce moment-là, le poète voit sa conception de la poésie se transformer radicalement. Durant la décennie suivante, il entreprend des travaux philologiques ainsi que des traductions. La "décennie anglaise" voit Mallarmé se doter d'outils scientifiques afin de résoudre la crise déclenchée quelques années plus tôt. Cette démarche participe à l'œuvre poétique qu'il produira par la suite puisqu'elle replie le langage sur lui-même, séparant ainsi le signifiant de son référant. L'effacement langagier, qu'il met alors sur pied, permet au poète de préserver l'Idéal du grand Œuvre tout en admettant l'impossibilité de sa réalisation. Notre travail étudie d'abord les textes que Mallarmé consacre à Poe. Le sonnet "Tombeau d'Edgar Poe" écrit en 1877, le texte en prose paru dans Divagations en 1897 et les quelques références qui apparaissent dans les Vers de circonstance, publication posthume, dessinent une image héroïque du poète tout en redéfinissant son rôle. Synthèse des mythes grecs et chrétiens, le poète conçu par Mallarmé lutte avec son verbe contre les effets du temps. Les traductions que Mallarmé fait des poèmes de Poe entre 1862 et 1889 permettent à l'auteur français de manipuler la matière sonore d'une façon nouvelle. Sacrifiant le critère de fidélité au profit de la mélodie, le poète essuiera les reproches de critiques du XIXe et du XXe siècle avant de trouver des appuis chez certains traducteurs de poésie dont Yves Bonnefoy. Les ouvrages philologiques de Mallarmé, quant à eux, étudient la langue anglaise comme une langue étrangère. À partir de ces textes, le poète développera le mythe d'une langue autre qui donnerait accès à un monde jusqu'ici inaccessible. De plus, le travail de réécriture qui se fait dans ces ouvrages annonce la "disparition élocutoire du poète" que nous retrouverons plus tard dans "Crise de ver". Finalement, la lecture que Mallarmé fait de Poe l'aide à concevoir l'Œuvre pure ainsi que l'effacement langagier. En mettant la mort au centre de son œuvre, le poète américain prépare la voie à l'écriture hermétique de Mallarmé.

Em busca de uma antropologia fundamental: diálogos com Edgar Morin e Michel Serres

Where did we come from? Where are we going? Those are old questions that have incited me toward a complex anthropological knowledge, detached from the imprintings of the official anthropocentric narrative, related to hominization, which irreversibly separated us from the natural world. We took it as an object, domesticated and subdued Nature, creating the Anthropocene. It is in this scenario that we find humankind; thus, Anthropology cannot be unaware of the main occurrences of the Grand Narrative. In search of a Fundamental Anthropology creates a dialog between the works of Edgar Morin and Michel Serres, two incandescent and marginal thinkers who stepped out from the crowd of current scholarship thinkers. Authors of polyphonic ideas, they had produced open and unfinished knowledge, breaking through disciplinary barriers; smuggling concepts; crossbreeding ideas, inventing by thinking. To walk on their shoes, dialog with their narrative and unfold new horizons is to follow them along their path of anthropological knowledge, which reintroduces man into nature; restoring our animality; which contextualizes us into the ecosystem-world that recognizes our biocultural, planetary and cosmic-earthly ascendance, as well as our, at the same time, one and multiple identity, which also contributes to ecologize ideas and actions; which also invests in the ethical rearrangement of the human subject, comprehensively responsible for society and for the Biogea. A well thinking process ecologically intertwined upon the struggles of the Homo complexus universalis oecologicus with himself, the human community and all living things / Quem somos? De onde viemos? Para onde vamos? São antigas questões que me instigam a um saber antropológico complexo desvencilhado dos imprintings da velha narrativa antropocêntrica do processo de hominização que apartou, irremediavelmente, o homem do mundo natural. Tomamos o mundo como objeto, domesticamos e dominamos a natureza, fabricamos o Antropoceno. É nesse contexto que a humanidade se insere, e a Antropologia não pode ficar alheia aos acontecimentos da Grande Narrativa. Em busca de uma Antropologia Fundamental tece um diálogo com as obras de Edgar Morin e de Michel Serres, pensadores incandescentes e desviantes das autoestradas do conhecimento disciplinar. Autores de polifônicas ideias, produziram um conhecimento aberto e inacabado, romperam fronteiras disciplinares, contrabandearam conceitos, mestiçaram saberes, inventaram pensando. Percorrer os seus caminhos, dialogar com suas narrativas, ramificar novos horizontes é prosseguir com ambos nas vias de um saber antropológico que reintroduz o homem na natureza; que restaura sua animalidade; que o contextualiza no ecossistema-mundo; que reconhece sua ascendência cósmica-terrestre, sua identidade una e múltipla, biocultural, planetária; e que também contribui para ecologizar ideias e ações; que investe na recomposição ética do sujeito-humano responsável consigo, com a sociedade, com a Biogea. Um bem-pensar tecido ecologicamente no corpo a corpo do Homo complexus universalis oecologicus consigo, com os outros, com a totalidade dos seres vivos, com a natureza inteira, com o mundo

Fotografia da metrópole: fotogenia e aura

Name, José João 06 December 2010 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T20:19:59Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Jose Joao Name.pdf: 43545230 bytes, checksum: 93f414005c68b2c4bc1d2e5f02c05515 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-12-06 / Street photography or urban photography, in terms of photographic style, historically results not only from a new instrumentalization made available by technological progress in the first half of the XIXth century, but also, and above all, from social and psychological conditions which started to reign in that period. This new way of representing the objective world brought innovative particularities like the combination of elements such as mental image, double, objective traces and aura in one perception object: photography. Such particularities are found in the concept of photogeny, one of the denominations given to the charm of photographic images, which is examined here based on Edgar Morin s studies. The analysis of the concept of photogeny leads us, in search of precursors, to the idea of aura in Walter Benjamin s writings, showing intersections which are particularly interesting and elucidative of both concepts. In Walter Benjamin s reflections are included phenomena such as crowd, shock and flâneur upon which are based our own reflections on the conditions which caused changes in the perception, receptiveness and response of the growing stimuli resulting from new ways of coexistence and mobility in the metropolis. Another approach related to the charm, the aura and the temporality of the photography, such as the temporal punctum, is integrated into these previous concepts and analyzed with the concept of photogeny. Thus, the purpose of this dissertation is the constitution of a more embracing corpus enabling the understanding of the complexity of the photographic phenomenon. The metropolis, object of the urban photographer, through its physiognomy, plays a major role in this dissertation, showing itself, like on a photograph, as a psychophysical mechanism whose charm dwells in the indistinguishable relation between the objective world and the imaginary / A fotografia de rua ou fotografia urbana, enquanto estilo fotográfico, decorre historicamente não apenas de uma nova instrumentalização proporcionada pelos avanços tecnológicos que se iniciaram na primeira metade do século XIX, mas, sobretudo, das condições sociais que vigoraram a partir desse período. Esse novo meio de representação do mundo objetivo trouxe consigo particularidades inovadoras, como a combinação de imagem mental, duplo, vestígios e aura em um objeto de percepção: a fotografia. Essas particularidades encontram uma confluência no conceito de fotogenia, uma das denominações atribuídas ao encanto das imagens fotográficas, que, aqui, é trabalhado tomando por base a trabalho de Edgar Morin. A análise do conceito de fotogenia remete-nos, na busca por precursores, à noção de aura em Walter Benjamin e apresenta interseções particularmente interessantes e elucidativas para ambos os conceitos. Nas reflexões deste último autor, que incluem os fenômenos da multidão, do choque, do flâneur, baseiam-se nossas análises sobre as condições que provocaram alterações na percepção, receptividade e resposta aos estímulos crescentes originados pelas novas formas de convivência e mobilidade na metrópole. Outra abordagem relacionada ao encanto, a aura e a temporalidade na fotografia, como o punctum temporal, é integrada às concepções anteriores e analisada em conjunto com a concepção de fotogenia. Dessa forma, o objetivo desta dissertação é constituir um corpus mais abrangente que dê conta da complexidade do fenômeno fotográfico. A metrópole, objeto do fotógrafo urbano, através da sua fisionomia e fisiognomia, ocupa um papel central nesta dissertação, revelando-se, como em uma fotografia, um mecanismo psicofísico, cujo encanto possui a sua base na relação indistinguível entre o mundo objetivo e o imaginário
