Visiting the classic narratives, the intertextual dialogue is established between the oral tradition and modern and contemporary texts based in building procedures that bring to evidence the humor and the parody. The adopted methodology used for reading the corpus is descriptive-analytical. The theoretical support that backgrounds the identification of the intertextuality and parody in the selected writings are referred in the authors Mikhail Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva, Linda Hutcheon e Affonso Romano de Sant Anna. In the study of fairy tales André Jolles e Nelly Novaes Coelho deserve to be emphasized. Monteiro Lobato innovates children s literature inserting criticism and freedom of expression, disrupting the traditional pattern. In the specific case of the recovery of fairy tales, Monteiro Lobato institutes the dialogical scene, modifying the narrator s status now less authoritative and closer to the reader. Through intertextuality, the author revisits the traditional narratives, creating a new way of telling these stories giving bigger dynamicity to the text, due to the colloquialism adopted in the language, in addition to the active participation of several characters, specially the childish ones. Pedro Bandeira takes the same direction intensifying the parodistic effect building the narrative, what leads to the supposition of his affiliation to Monteiro Lobato when you verifies that to build the dialogue with oral tradition in O Fantástico Mistério de Feiurinha, firstly, the author revisits the episodes of Reinações de Narizinho / Este trabalho analisa as obras Reinações de Narizinho, especificamente, o recorte Cara de Coruja , de Monteiro Lobato e O Fantástico Mistério de Feiurinha, de Pedro Bandeira a partir do resgate dos contos de fadas. Na visita às narrativas clássicas, estabelece-se o diálogo intertextual entre a tradição oral e os textos moderno e contemporâneo, alicerçados em procedimentos construtivos que evidenciam o humor e a paródia. A metodologia adotada para a leitura do corpus é a descritivo-analítica. O suporte teórico que respalda a identificação da intertextualidade e da paródia nas obras selecionadas tem nos autores Mikhail Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva, Linda Hutcheon e Affonso Romano de Sant Anna seus principais referentes. No estudo dos contos de fadas merecem destaque André Jolles e Nelly Novaes Coelho. Monteiro Lobato inova na literatura infantil inserindo nela criticidade e liberdade de expressão, rompendo com o modelo tradicional. No caso específico do resgate dos contos de fadas, Monteiro Lobato instaura a cena dialógica, modificando o status do narrador, agora menos autoritário e mais próximo do leitor. Por intermédio da intertextualidade, o autor revisita as narrativas tradicionais, criando uma nova forma de contar essas histórias, conferindo maior dinamicidade ao texto, pelo grau de coloquialismo adotado pela linguagem, além da participação ativa das diversas personagens, especialmente as infantis. Pedro Bandeira procede na mesma direção, potencializando o efeito parodístico na construção da narrativa, o que leva a supor sua filiação a Monteiro Lobato, principalmente quando se verifica que, para construir o diálogo com a tradição oral em O Fantástico Mistério de Feiurinha, primeiramente, o autor revisita os episódios de Reinações de Narizinho

By revisiting the wonderful tales, reinterpreted and violates some elements of tradition in the light of contemporary, among them the metamorphosis, the journey and the fairies. Note also through writing Colasantiana, especially in the book 23 histórias de um viajante, this attempt to rescue the traditional root, because the stories are connected to a frame story, which leads to the classic example of construction of the As Mil e uma Noites but that story frame is frequent dialogue with the reader, and it is as if the twenty-fourth story in the book, because it depends on the other 23 stories, moreover all the stories are interrelated, allowing the book to be read in sequence or random. The author also innovates to try to put the existential dilemma of his characters in the service of the dilemma of literary construction. The theoretical framework that supports the reading of the wonderful is Todorov, Marino, Chiampi, Rodrigues and Le Goff, and as for fairy tales has Propp and Jolles as main theoretical. The methodology used for the reading of the corpus is the descriptive and analytical / Este trabalho analisa dez contos do livro 23 histórias de um viajante, de Marina Colasanti, a partir do resgate e revisitação do gênero maravilhoso e da tradição realizados pela autora ao compor seus mundos ficcionais. Ao revisitar os contos maravilhosos, reinterpreta e transgride alguns elementos da tradição sob a luz da contemporaneidade, dentre eles a metamorfose, a viagem e a figura da fada. Nota-se também por meio da escritura Colasantiana, especialmente em 23 histórias de um viajante, o resgate da raiz tradicional realizado pela própria composição do livro: os contos são interligados por um conto moldura, o que remete ao exemplo clássico de construção das Mil e Uma Noites. Na obra analisada nesta dissertação, o conto moldura estabelece diálogos freqüentes com o leitor, configurando-se como a vigésima quarta história do livro. A autora inova ainda ao associar o dilema existencial de suas personagens ao da própria construção literária. O suporte teórico que respalda a leitura do maravilhoso é composto por autores como Todorov, Marinho, Chiampi, Rodrigues e Le Goff, e, quanto à reflexão sobre os contos maravilhosos, têm-se Propp e Jolles como principais suportes teóricos. A metodologia utilizada para a leitura do corpus é a descritivo-analítica

O objetivo da pesquisa foi verificar o impacto da realização de oficina terapêutica de contos de fadas, com crianças, no fluxo de atendimento e na vivência dos participantes, no contexto da clínica-escola, além de avaliar se o instrumento projetivo CAT-A contribui como uma das formas de mensurar resultados de intervenção e, em caso positivo, de que forma. Pretende-se contribuir para o desenvolvimento do campo do saber ético-teórico-prático relativo a uma modalidade específica de atendimento psicológico que proporcione maior quantidade de vagas às crianças que procuram a clínica. Foi realizada uma oficina terapêutica, onde foram utilizados contos de fadas com cinco crianças de 6 e 7 anos que estavam aguardando atendimento psicológico na clínica-escola. Inicialmente foi realizada uma entrevista com os pais, na qual investigou-se o motivo da consulta e aspectos gerais da criança e suas relações. No primeiro encontro individual com cada criança, foi aplicado o CAT-A. Após esse encontro, deu-se início à oficina, que se constituiu de onze encontros semanais, utilizando-se nove contos de fadas. Em cada encontro foi narrado um desses contos, dividido em três fragmentos. Solicitou-se às crianças que desenhassem o que mais gostaram de cada fragmento e que falassem sobre os respectivos desenhos. Os contos escolhidos abarcaram diferentes fases do desenvolvimento. Após a realização da oficina, o CAT-A foi reaplicado individualmente nas crianças, seguindo-se uma breve devolutiva sobre a oficina. Os pais também passaram por uma entrevista devolutiva a respeito dos resultados da oficina, podendo esclarecer dúvidas. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram a ampliação da queixa trazida pelos pais e pôde-se perceber, através de seus relatos, que a proposta contribuiu para incrementar os recursos das crianças, para manejar os conflitos vivenciados. Foi possível atender maior número de clientes, repercutindo no fluxo da fila de espera. O CAT-A auxiliou no esclarecimento da queixa pelo acesso a conteúdos latentes, que refletem o funcionamento e a vivência da criança, objetivando uma compreensão mais global do problema apresentado. Os resultados apontaram que esse tipo de trabalho poderia ser adotado pelas instituições com maior frequência, visando a seu próprio benefício, dos alunos, e, principalmente, da comunidade carente de instituições de acolhimento e cuidado. Destaca-se a importância da realização de outros estudos como este, com grupos maiores, que venham a corroborar, ou não, os resultados aqui obtidos / The objective of this research was to verify the impact of therapeutic fairytale workshops with children in the service flow and in the lives of the participants in the context of the teaching clinics as well as evaluating if the projective instrument CAT-A contributes as a way to measure intervention results and if so, in which way. The intention is to contribute to the development of the ethical-theoretical-practical knowledge in relation to a specific type of psychological service that allows for a larger amount of spots for the children who seek the clinic. A therapeutic workshop with the use of fairytales was conduced with 5 children between the ages of 6 and 7 that were waiting for their psychological appointment in the teaching clinic. An interview with the parents was done initially to investigate the reasons of the appointment, general aspects of the children and their relationships. In the first individual session with each child the CAT-A was applied. Then the 11 weekly workshops were done, using 9 different fairytales. In each session one of the tales was read in three fragments. The children were asked to draw their favourite thing form each fragment and explain it. The chosen tales comprehended different development stages. After the conclusion of the workshop, the CAT-A was reapplied individually, followed by a quick feedback on the workshop. The parents also had a feedback session, clarifying doubts. The results show an amplification of the initial complaint brought by the parents and it was clear, through their reports, that the initiative contributed to the enhancement of the childrens resources to handle their conflicts. It was possible to handle a larger number of clients, which in turn had a positive impact on the waiting line. The CAT-A helped in the clarification of the complaint through the access of latent content that reflect the childs experience and functioning, allowing for a more global approach of the presented problem. The results indicate this kind of work could be adopted more frequently by institutions for the benefit of their own service, of the students and especially of the community in need of care institutions. It is important to mention the need of other studies like this one, with larger groups to verify the application of the obtained results

La presente tesis aborda el tema de la identidad femenina y las relaciones de poder que la determinan en los relatos de Luisa Valenzuela. Se analizan dos grupos de relatos de la autora que subvierten los modelos dominantes y opresivos de la feminidad. El primer grupo abarca las reescrituras de los cuentos de hadas, mientras el segundo trata la construcción de la feminidad en el ambiente de la última dictadura militar argentina. Los dos grupos de relatos presentan una suerte de crítica respecto a la formación discursiva de la mujer como sujeto. La tesis presenta en los capítulos introductorios varios problemas teóricos que se reflejan en la obra ensayística y narrativa de Valenzuela. Se analizan las relaciones entre el posmodernismo, el posestructuralismo y el feminismo, especialmente en lo que concierne al problema del sujeto femenino. También se presentan las teorías de Luce Irigaray y Hélène Cixous sobre la escritura femenina que guardan muchas similitudes con las de Valenzuela. Estas autoras realizan ante todo el análisis deconstructivo del discurso psicoanalítico sobre la sexualidad femenina y la señalan como el lugar de la represión discursiva falocéntrica, pero también como el instrumento de la conquista de la libertad. Las dos teorizan sobre un lenguaje femenino, a veces fundándose en ciertas ideas esencialistas sobre la identidad femenina. El concepto clave en la poética de Valenzuela es el de “escribir con el cuerpo”. Valenzuela se reafirma en la existencia de una escritura específicamente femenina, que tiene su origen en una sexualidad y experiencia históricas únicas de la mujer. Escribir con el cuerpo significa oponerse a la unión del logos con la cultura falocéntrica, hablar desde una posición de marginalización de las mujeres en la cultura y la sociedad patriarcales. Los cuentos de hadas de Perrault y de los hermanos Grimm representan un tipo de discurso marcadamente falocéntrico y las reescrituras de la autora sirven para deconstruir la arbitrariedad sociocultural que está en base de los textos que pretenden presentarse como transcendentales y cercanos a la mitología, el folklore y los contenidos universales de la psique humana. Se trata de la crítica de los modos más sutiles de la normativización del sujeto femenino a través de las ideas de la belleza, la virtud, la humildad y la pasividad de las heroínas, en contraste con las brujas y las madrastras. Las rescrituras de Valenzuela devuelven la voz narrativa a las heroínas y subvierten las dicotomías entre las construcciones normativas y estigmatizadas de la feminidad. Los relatos que tratan la vida de las mujeres bajo la dictadura militar argentina comparten algunas características importantes con las reescrituras de los cuentos de hadas, pero también presentan diferencias importantes que exigen otro tipo de análisis y una contextualización sociohistórica adicional. El libro de Diane Taylor, Disappearing Acts: Spectacles of Gender and Nationalism in Argentina’s “Dirty War”, analiza las estrategias discursivas y performativas de la propaganda oficial del régimen dictatorial a partir de las ideas posestructuralistas y proporciona instrumentos críticos muy importantes para acercarse a este grupo de relatos. Taylor demuestra de qué manera los discursos y las prácticas autoritarias militares participaron en la construcción simbólica de la feminidad. El “relato maestro” de la dictadura argentina exhibe características más siniestras que los cuentos de hadas, puesto que presenta a las mujeres no sumisas como un Otro deshumanizado, lo que justifica los castigos más brutales. Los dos grupos de relatos analizados en la tesis expanden la idea de la identidad femenina más allá de su construcción dominante. La liberación femenina se persigue principalmente a través de la reapropiación del lenguaje; las heroínas toman la voz narrativa para oponerse a las narraciones canónicas que crean y oprimen a los sujetos femeninos. Valenzuela no propone ningún modelo hegemónico de la feminidad, más bien quiere ampliar el horizonte de las posibilidades para la mujer a través de la subversión de los discursos y las estructuras sociales dominantes. / This thesis attempts to analyze from a feminist perspective the concept of female identity and the depiction of power relations in selected stories of the Argentinian writer Luisa Valenzuela. The study aims to show in which ways the author subverts oppressive models of femininity created in canonical fairy tales which she is rewriting, as well as the manner in which some of her stories denounce the construction of femininity during the last Argentinian dictatorship. In her essays, Luisa Valenzuela has developed a theory about the specificity of women’s writing and the role of a woman in subversion of existing social, cultural and political orders. I tried to establish a theoretical framework about female identity with regard to poststructuralist theories of the subject and their relations to feminism. I also presented the ideas of French feminists, Luce Irigaray and Helene Cixous, about women’s writing and female desire which bear a strong resemblance to the ideas developed by Valenzuela. Moving between poststructuralism and essentialism, Valenzuela’s poetics and politics propose the idea of a woman as a privileged subject of social change, deriving the strength from her historical oppression. She is thus able to reinvent her identity in a freer manner than a man, and even able to access the obscure knowledge, suppressed by the dominant, falogocentric culture. In her rewritings of fairy tales, Valenzuela tries to subvert the traditional discourse about femininity. The tales of Perrault and Grimm created the normative model of femininity, in accordance with the social conception of appropriate women’s behavior of their time. As such, this literary tradition is reflecting and further establishing the patriarchal oppression of women. The traditional heroines of fairy tales have no voice of their own, are submissive, passive and obedient, their primary ambition being to get married. The narrative voice is omniscient, and the very specific, falocentric view is presented as a universal, objective truth. Valenzuela’s rewritings give voice back to women, subvert the dichotomies between normative and stigmatized constructions of femininity, and give agency and autonomy to the heroines who take charge of their destinies. Valenzuela also subverts dominant discourses of femininity in her stories about the ultimate Argentinian dictatorship. The grand narrative of the dictatorial regime constructs femininity as fragile and submissive. These stories describe physical abuse in conjunction with symbolic acts of gendered oppression and as such exhibit more obvious modes of control of women and their bodies and identities, but also denounce the more subtle, discursive and performative ways by which the regime enforces femininity to their political enemies as a means of degrading them. The question of female sexuality and of writing with the body obtains special meaning in this sociohistorical context. The bodies that write are to be interpreted as tortured, abused and stigmatized bodies and are conceptualized as parts of discursive and performative reality rather than natural bodies who try to subvert the system by their connection with mythical or ahistorical essence. The two groups of stories analyzed in the thesis subvert the dominant, falogocentric discourses of femininity and expand the idea of a female identity beyond its canonical production. The main proposition of Valenzuela’s stories is reappropriation of female language, primarily by giving the narrative voice to the heroines who challenge the traditional and dominant narratives by which the female subjects are constructed and subjugated. She does not aim to create any hegemonic model of femininity but rather to question the existing social structures and discourses which stand on a woman’s way to liberation.

En este estudio comparamos dos novelas españolas del género fantástico – Aranmanoth de Ana María Matute y La Emperatriz de los etéreos de Laura Gallego García. Ambas obras tienen tramas parecidas pero están dirigidas a dos grupos diferentes de lectores – jóvenes y adultos. Aplicamos el método comparativo, es decir, identificamos y analizamos las similitudes y las diferencias en cuanto a los elementos fantásticos presentes en ambas novelas con el propósito de analizar las consecuencias en la literatura para estos dos grupos de lectores. Asimismo nos interesan las razones de las similitudes y las diferencias, las cuales buscamos sobre todo, en los antecedentes de las autoras, los diferentes grupos de lectores y la gran influencia de los cuentos de hadas en este género fantástico.   Los elementos fantásticos que analizamos se encuentran en las categorías del motivo, el entorno y los personajes. Algunos de los ejemplos más conocidos de estas categorías son el viaje de aventura, la presencia de la magia y el mundo de imaginación pero asimismo se presentan elementos menos esperados como la importancia de los cuentos y las apariencias de los personajes. Dado que el lenguaje es un elemento diferenciador muy evidente cuando se compara la literatura juvenil con la de adultos, lo excluimos de la investigación.   Concluimos que existe una concordancia clara entre muchos elementos fantásticos en las dos novelas. A pesar de esto, las historias no dan la impresión de ser iguales. En la novela para adultos, por ejemplo, el elemento mágico es más complejo debido en parte a la gran cantidad de símbolos utilizados lo cual hace más difícil su comprensión. Además las autoras tienen objetivos diferentes con respecto a lo fantástico y este hecho afecta en gran medida la narración de las historias. Por consiguiente, los jóvenes posiblemente no entiendan toda la magnitud del elemento mágico intrincado en el libro para adultos y los adultos por su parte encuentren los elementos mágicos un poco simples en el libro juvenil. Sin embargo, es probable que los dos grupos distintos de lectores, puedan disfrutar la lectura de ambas novelas siempre y cuando tengan interés por el género.

This dissertation investigates the phenomenon of the reworking of children's narrative, generally termed "fairy tales," within the framework of Spanish post-Civil War fiction. It is focused on selected novels by four contemporary women writers whose works are representative of the phenomenon under study. They are: Carmen Laforet (Nada 1944), Ana Maria Matute (Primera memoria 1959), Esther Tusquets ( El mismo mar de todos los veranos 1979) and Carmen Martin Gaite (Caperucita en Manhattan 1990 and La reina de las nieves 1994). / The first three chapters examine generic issues as a preliminary step towards the explanation of the significance of fairy tales to novelists today. To this end, the first chapter tackles the ambiguities surrounding current definitions of the fairy-tale genre to establish dearly the nature of the narrative substructure of the novels of the study. It proposes an alternative approach which lends a chronological dimension to present definitions that are based on stylistic and structural analysis alone. This is followed by a second chapter which explains the recurrence of fairy tales and fairy-tale motifs in the novels by underlining the structural and conceptual similarities between the two genres. The third chapter is devoted to a comparative analysis of the genres under study as a means of isolating minimal recurrent units of the children's narratives and explaining their transformation in the novels. / The last three chapters, based primarily on the findings of the comparative analysis of the fairy tales and their novelistic versions, focus on two important fairy-tale motifs that appear to hold the key to the importance of fairy tales in the novels: The marginalization of the fairy-tale hero and the ambiguous image of the mother-figure as at once evil and benevolent. The fourth chapter therefore concentrates on the various conventions of marginality in the novels and the fifth is dedicated to a study of the structure of the contemporary novel against the backdrop of its transformation of the basic fairy-tale paradigm that traces the development of the hero from a marginalized position to his/her integration into society. The sixth chapter concludes the question of transformations by analyzing the image of the woman in the contemporary novel on the basis of the reworking of the evil stepmother/fairy godmother motif.

Les formes personnelles du récit (roman à la première personne et roman épistolaire) se sont imposées comme des formes privilégiées de la narration romanesque depuis la fin du dix-septième siècle jusqu'aux années 1760. L’étude a porté sur ce qui a pu inciter les auteurs, féminins ou masculins, à adopter très fréquemment une voix féminine dans ces narrations à la première personne. Qu'autorise cette voix féminine ? Cette adoption implique-t-elle une identification possible au féminin ? S'agit-il au contraire de mieux « construire » une représentation du féminin auquel d'ailleurs, en retour, les femmes peuvent finir par s'identifier ? L’étude a d'abord porté sur l'héritage des voix féminines en revenant à la situation de ce qu'on peut qualifier de « genres féminins » au dix-septième siècle : l’écriture épistolaire et mondaine pratiquée par Madame de Sévigné, les contes de fée, et le genre du roman-mémoires qui se développe sous la plume de romancières comme Mme de Villedieu ou Mme de Murat. Tous ces genres mettent en place certaines images de la féminité et de la narration féminine marquées par l’audace, l’humour, le badin et parfois la mise à mal des modèles héroïques. Ceci nous a menée à la voix de la Marianne de Marivaux qui est le pivot de cette réflexion, en ce qu’elle a incarné le féminin dans le roman-mémoires pendant plusieurs décennies. En amont, il s’agissait de voir en quoi la voix imaginée par Marivaux n’avait pas surgi ex nihilo, mais comment elle avait été préparée par les romancières et écrivaines de la seconde moitié du XVIIe siècle, et de quelle manière les conditions étaient réunies pour qu’émerge cette voix véritablement fondatrice. En aval, l’étude nous a permis de voir en quoi cette voix a influencé et inspiré les auteurs contemporains de Marivaux ou ceux qui l’ont suivi. L’étude se poursuit par une confrontation entre La Religieuse de Diderot et la Nouvelle Héloïse Rousseau afin d’observer la manière très différente mais en écho dont les deux romanciers faisaient parler des personnages de femmes et ramenaient dans le champ du romanesque une forme de tragique ou de pathétique qui semblait éteindre la voix de Marianne et donc avec elle les voix des romancières et conteuses de la fin du XVIIe siècle. / The personal narrative forms (novels written in the first person and epistolary novels) are among the most commonly used narrative forms in novels written between the end of the seventieth century and the period circa 1760. This research aims to identify the motivations of many male as well as female authors to use very frequently a woman’s voice in their first person narration. What does this woman’s voice allow? Does it mean the author identifies himself with a woman ? Or is it a way to shape a woman’s representation, to which the women, in return, might identify themselves ? This research studies the legacy of women’s voices, through what we may call the feminine narrative forms in the 17th century : the epistolary and mundane writtings of Madame de Sévigné, the fairy tales and the memoir-novels from Mme de Villedieu or Mme de Murat. All these narrative forms convey an image of feminity and feminine narrative forms full of audacity, humour, « badin » and also a certain undermining of the heroic role model. “The voice of Marivaux’s Marianne” is at the center of this reflexion, as she embodied the feminine in the memoir-novels for several decades. A feminine voice who did not appear ex-nihilo but whose emergence was fully prepared by the female novelists and writters of the second half of the 17th century. And a feminine voice who did not disappear with her author, as many Marivaux’s contemporaries and authors in the following years gave new inspirations to this voice. This study also confronted La Religieuse de Diderot and La Nouvelle Héloïse de Rousseau in order to identify the very different, although mirroring ways in which the two authors have the women characters express themselves and bring forward a form of tragedy and pathetic that seems to silence Marianne’s voice and close the era of the female authors and storytellers of the end of the 17th century.

The purpose of the study was to identify the gender-related themes from a cultural discourse in order to determine how gender is constructed in African society. The study specifically examines the Maragoli Folktale. The Maragoli people mainly inhabit the western part of Kenya and are a sub-tribe of the larger Luhyia community. The Luhyia community is the second largest community in Kenya. The study attempts to uncover how gender is constructed through the examination of dominant themes, characterization, images, symbols, formulaic patterns and formalities of composition and performance in the Maragoli folktales at the time of performance. Based on an eclectic conceptual framework, the study takes into consideration gender theories, feminist literary perspectives, psychoanalysis and discourse analysis paradigms to critically examine the tales as a semiotic system of signification grounded within an African social cultural milieu. The folktales are analysed as a symbolic and ideological discourse of signs encoded by the performer and decoded by the audience at the time of performance. The study therefore situates the tale firmly at the time of performance, taking into consideration the interaction between the performer and the audience in the dissemination and internalization of gender ideology. While establishing that patriarchal structures and values are transmitted through the tales, the study also reveals the methods and interventions that the mainly female performers advance as active agents in their struggle for space within the culture. Women are, therefore, perceived as active agents of change and the folktale as a site from which gender ideology is discussed, contested and subverted. The study is based on a corpus of twenty (20) folktales collected from the Maragoli country in Western Province of Kenya (See maps, Appendix B.) The English versions of the tales appear in appendix A. / English Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (English)
