This master's thesis in creative writing is composed of two parts: a critical study and a journal. The critical study, L'Exil romanesque, attempts to define and illustrate the nature of exile. More precisely, it analyses exile as a theme and structure of the novel, as studied in essays and greatly developed by works of fiction. / The creative work, entitled La Sainte-Victoire, delineates the sojourn in Aix-en-Provence of a portuguese student born in Angola. This experience, marked by loneliness and failure, gradually reveals to him what drives him apart from himself.

A massiva emigração resultou no estabelecimento de círculos de exilados em vários países do mundo. Forçados a deixar sua pátria para fugir das perseguições e mesmo do risco à própria vida que o nazismo lhes impunha, esses cidadãos enfrentaram toda sorte de dificuldades atreladas ao exílio; ainda assim, muitos deles usaram os recursos possíveis para engajar-se em um movimento de oposição ao fascismo, que se formou no meio intelectual e procurou atingir um público maior através de publicações. Partindo de algumas reflexões acerca do exílio e representações suas em algumas obras clássicas da literatura universal, voltamo-nos para o caso específico do exílio alemão, procurando melhor compreender os desdobramentos históricos, políticos, sociais e culturais que resultaram na diáspora dos maiores expoentes da arte alemã. A literatura produzida pelos alemães em terras estrangeiras, conhecida como Literatura de Exílio, é objeto de estudo deste trabalho em uma de suas mais relevantes manifestações: a publicação de periódicos, revistas sobre literatura e política, por meio das quais eram debatidas importantes questões da época, tanto de âmbito estético quanto ideológico. Procuramos mostrar a relevância desses periódicos para a Literatura de Exílio de modo geral e para a constituição de um movimento de oposição ao nacional-socialismo. Dentre os mais atuantes escritores envolvidos nesses projetos está Anna Seghers, judia e comunista, e, portanto, forçada ao exílio. Os romances e contos escritos pela autora no período em questão são considerados os mais relevantes de sua... / Abstract: During the 1930's and the 1940's, as national-socialism raised its domain and made profound changes in German society - especially about liberty -, Germany's boundaries were crossed by an enormous number of intellectuals, oppositional politicians, artists and Jews. This massive emigration had as a result the establishment of groups of exiled people in several countries. Compelled to leave their country to escape persecution and even risk to their own lives, these men and women faced all sorts of difficulties related to exile; nevertheless, many of them used every possible resource to engage themselves into an opposition movement against fascism, which was formed among the intellectuals and tried to reach a wider circle through publications. Starting with some reflections about exile and its representations in some classic universal literature pieces, we focus on the specific German case, aiming to better understand the historical - political, social and cultural - conditions that caused the diaspora of the most important names of German arts. The literature produced by the Germans living in foreign countries, named Exilliteratur, is the object of this study through one of its most relevant manifestations: the periodicals, magazines about literature and politics, on whose pages some of the most important issues of that time have been discussed, aesthetical and ideological. We aim to expose the importance of these periodicals to the Exilliteratur in general and to the constitution of a movement against Nazism. Amongst the main names of this movement is Anna Seghers', a Jew and communist writer forced to exile. Novels and short stories written by Seghers during her exile years are the highest renowned of her vast bibliography. As we present some of these texts, we aim to point to the ways the engagement and problems of that historical moment are transformed into literary art pieces / Doutor
