Thesis (MA (Afrikaans and Dutch))—University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between eroticism, violence and death as it occurs in Jeanne Goosen's short story collection, ' n Gelyke kans. The research is based upon the hypothesis that these stories express in a particular manner the transgressive role of eroticism in breaking through social conventions and barriers. As a possible framework for discussion reference is made in the first place to George Bataille's theories on the subversive nature of eroticism, Julia Kristeva's semiotic and pre-Oedipal theories, and Mikhail Bakhtin's notion of the carnivalesque. Subsequently a reading strategy was designed by means of an in-depth analysis of ten stories from the collection in accordance with general formalistic principles. The conclusion is reached that Goosen with non-judgmental sympathy exposes man's inborn, continuous search for the illusion of perfect happiness. This state of bliss is sometimes achieved by the violent "incorporation" of the beloved/desired “other", and the final outcome is a concomitant and inevitable decline into an unwholesome, destructive, and fatal erotic power play.

We also analyze the approaching between the lyrical and the divine being, as well as the importance of eroticism for the construction of a religious metaphysical image. The contents of the corpus are composed by eight hilstian poems, four poems of each work, and one of the results suggests that the humanization of the divine is done mainly through the word and human attributes bestowed upon God. In Poemas malditos, gozosos e devotos (1984) the sacred appears in many ways, through apostrophes to God, for example, but mainly through the revelation of the divine being as a sacred entity, sovereign on humans. The theoretical approach is based on the studies developed by Mircea Eliade (2010), Suzi Frankl Sperber (2011) and Rudolf Otto (2007) concerning the Sacred; studies related to spirituality by José Carlos Barcellos (2001) and Hilstian lyrical studies by Alcir Pécora (2005, 2010) and Nelly Novaes Coelho (1993). / No presente trabalho, estudamos as relações entre a literatura e o sagrado, analisando esta interlocução em Poemas malditos, gozosos e devotos (1984) e Sobre a tua grande face (1986), de Hilda Hilst, e verificando como se dá o processo de humanização do divino nas obras em questão. Analisamos também as formas de aproximação do eu lírico para com o ser divino, bem como a importância do erotismo para a construção de uma imagem metafísico-religiosa. Como corpus, analisamos oito poemas hilstianos sendo quatro de cada obra e como resultado, constatamos que a humanização do divino se faz, sobretudo, através da palavra e da caracterização humana conferida a Deus. Em Poemas malditos, gozosos e devotos (1984), o sagrado aparece, dentre outras formas, através de apóstrofes a Deus, mas se mostra, principalmente, pela revelação do ser divino enquanto uma entidade sagrada, soberana aos seres humanos. Para a realização desta pesquisa, utilizamos como aparato teórico as teorias de Mircea Eliade (2010), Suzi Frankl Sperber (2011) e Rudolf Otto (2007) acerca do sagrado; a teorização de José Carlos Barcellos (2001) sobre a espiritualidade e os estudos de Alcir Pécora (2005, 2010) e Nelly Novaes Coelho (1993) acerca da lírica hilstiana.

Buscar-se-á analisar os pontos de contato entre a crueldade e o erotismo no interior desta obra. Cabe assinalar que Coxas é uma obra erótica, que tem por tema o erotismo, e não uma obra com passagens eróticas. Por isso o que se busca fundamentalmente neste trabalho é analisar como erotismo e a crueldade são trabalhados pelo poeta. Para isso se desenvolveu dois pontos principais na pesquisa. O primeiro é exatamente o que diz respeito ao erotismo, porque a crueldade que se busca analisar provém deste aspecto e ele se mostra bastante relevante na obra em questão. O segundo é uma análise formal, pois há nitidamente em Coxas certa hibridização dos gêneros poesia e prosa. Para cumprir estas tarefas buscou-se primeiramente compreender como se compunha o quadro poético da época em que Roberto Piva inicia sua trajetória nas letras e como se configura o erotismo em sua obra. Em seguida se procurou alguns parâmetros especulativos que servissem de apoio à análises da obra nos aspectos apontados, por fim o problema formal se mostrou também de grande relevância, por isso há um capítulo destinado a expor os traços formais de Coxas / Abstract: This dissertation aims to develop a study about the book "Coxas" ¿ sex fiction & delirious, by Roberto Piva. We intend to analyze the points of contact between cruelty and eroticism within this work. It is worth highlighting that "Coxas" is an erotic literary work, whose theme is eroticism, and not an erotic passages book. That is why we seek primarily to investigate how eroticism and cruelty were used by the poet. In this regard we had developed two main points in the research. The first is exactly what concerns the eroticism, because the idea of cruelty that we seek to analyze comes from this aspect and it shows high relevance in the mentioned work. The second one is a formal analysis because it is possible to notice that there is poetry and prose genre hybridization into "Coxas". In order to accomplish this goal we sought to understand firstly on how the poetic scenario was composed from the time that Roberto Piva had begun his career in the poetic world and how eroticism had been configured in his work. And then, we tried some speculative parameters that work in order to give us support in the work analysis on what concerns the highlighted aspects. Finally, the formal point had also been showed highly relevant, so there is a chapter that intends to expose the formal features in "Coxas" / Mestrado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária
