Examinamos la trayectoria de las protagonistas y sus relaciones amorosas, el desarrollo de lo insólito como rastro de desequilibrio en los textos y el conflicto entre lo natural y lo sobrenatural, aflojando los límites entre lo real y lo irreal, llegando a su límite con el extraño. Basándonos en las teorías de autores consagrados, como Todorov y Filipe Furtado, estudiamos cómo ellos definen lo insólito y analizamos cómo él se establece en las narraciones. Hicimos una comparación entre los cuentos, reflexionamos y tratamos de encontrar explicaciones para esos eventos. De esta manera creemos cooperar para la aclaración de lo insólito como rasgo estético presente en el corpus de análisis. / Este trabalho propõe o estudo do insólito em dois contos de autores hispano-americanos: El almohadón de pluma (1907), do escritor Horacio Quiroga, e ¿Una mariposa? (1906), de Leopoldo Lugones. Examinamos a trajetória das protagonistas e suas relações amorosas, o percurso do insólito como traço de desequilíbrio nos textos e o conflito entre o natural e o sobrenatural, afrouxando as barreiras entre o real e o irreal, chegando ao limite com o estranho. Baseando-nos nas teorias de renomados autores, como Todorov e Filipe Furtado, estudamos de que maneira eles definem o aspecto insólito e analisamos de que forma ele se institui nas narrativas. Estabelecemos uma comparação entre os contos, refletimos e tentamos encontrar explicações para esses eventos. Desta forma acreditamos colaborar para o esclarecimento do insólito como um traço estético presente no corpus de análise.

A partir de ese movimiento, la literatura brasileña es constituida, a través de los años, por una serie de corrientes ecléticas: generación de 45, concretismo, poesía marginal, regionalismo, nouveau roman, entre otros. Es en esta atmosfera contemporánea que surge en el âmbito ficcional el escritor originario de Minas Gerais, Murilo Rubião. Su obra intimista parte de una literatura fantástica humanizada para representar la angustia del hombre moderno frente a los problemas sociales y sicológicos. Para mejor entender la obra de Murilo Rubião, recorremos varios caminos. Para el estúdio de la literatura fantástica, investigamos sus vertientes entre extraño, maravilloso, mágico, sobrenatural y humanístico, así como innúmeras obras independientes de su estructura desde los textos de la Antigüedad Clásica hasta la actualidad, siempre buscando encontrar en el fantástico contemporáneo las respuestas para el universo muriliano: lo insólito, lo supra-real, lo no-real, lo irreal que aparece sin sorpresas, con el fin de representar el absurdo de la condición humana en confronto con la realidad represora. / Sabe-se que o Modernismo inicia em 1922, com a Semana de Arte Moderna.

Embora a quantidade de publicações que trazem à capa a denominação contos fantásticos ou, ainda, que tratem do insólito como temática tenha crescido nos últimos anos na literatura brasileira, nota-se que há muito que se definir para que se chegue a uma classificação que evite generalizações simplificadoras. Portanto, esta dissertação pretende discutir e apontar alguns elementos que, de acordo com o arcabouço teórico-metodológico de Tzvetan Todorov e de Filipe Furtado, se configuram como estratégias de construção do discurso literário de narrativas do gênero Fantástico. Para isso, foram trazidos os estudos de Sigmund Freud e de Jean Paul Sartre para problematizar os conceitos e visões que se têm do gênero e, em seguida, selecionaram-se cinco antologias que discorrem sobre a temática do insólito e, após minuciosa e atenta leitura crítico-interpretativa de cada prefácio e/ou introdução, foram confrontadas as ideias, ali expostas, com a que se adotou nesta pesquisa como norte. Em seguida, fez-se a apreciação dos contos de literatura brasileira e ficou constatado que o conteúdo das antologias selecionadas não condiz com a nomenclatura sustentada na capa dos volumes / Aunque la cantidad de publicaciones que aportan la piel a la designación de cuentos fantásticos , o incluso tratar de inusual como temática ha crecido en los últimos años en la literatura brasileña, se establece una clasificación que evitar generalizaciones de simplificación. Por lo tanto, este documento pretende discutir y señalar algunos elementos que, de conformidad con el marco teórico-metodológico de Tzvetan Todorov y Filipe Furtado, configurar como estrategias de construcción de relatos de discurso literario de género de la fantasía. Para ello, fueron llevados a los estudios de Sigmund Freud y Jean Paul Sartre para cualquier problema puede ser conceptos elevados y visiones que tienen género y, a continuación, seleccionan cinco antologías que abordan el tema de inusual y, después de que completa y cuidadosa lectura crítica-interpretativa cada prefacio o la introducción, fueron enfrentados ideas, expresadas con la que adoptó esta búsqueda como norte. Luego hubo el aprecio de los cuentos de la literatura brasileña, y se encontró que el contenido de las antologías seleccionadas encaja con la nomenclatura sostenida en la portada de volúmenes

My research deals with fantasy and the fantastic as genres, as well as with their subgenres. I propose a new genology for fantasy and fantastic literature and their subgenres in which they are part of a continuum, with fantasy standing on one end and mimetic literature standing on the other, the fantastic being their middle ground. Within this continuum, the subgenres – which I call fantasy marvel-fiction and fantastic marvel-fiction, fantasy science-fiction and fantastic science-fiction, fantasy surrealism and fantastic surrealism – are distinguished among themselves according to two axes, namely: a) the inner coherence or incoherence of the world the text presents – their being subjected or not to the laws of that world –; b) the nature, and the appropriate explanation – marvelous or scientific –, of the phenomenon that breaks the natural laws of the reader’s known real world. This relationship between reality and fantasy has been essential to my investigation. More specifically, what I have named “the scientific urban gaze” of reality has been the touch-stone to establish what is fantasy and what is not and to create the consequent genology. The genology I propose must therefore be pragmatic: the reader’s view of reality must be taken into account in the process of placing a text within this continuum and the proper genre and subgenre. Once the genology is fully explained, I compare it to the work of some of the most prominent critics on the field of fantasy and the fantastic in order to see similitudes and differences between their research and mine. For the validity of my genology to be demonstrated, I apply it in the analysis of some Mexican narrative works and show how the genre and subgenre of a text – in interaction with the text’s archetypes and narrative components – can be an effective means to convey ideology or worldview. The genological approach, therefore, integrated with an archetypal and a narratological one, constitutes an efficient tool for a holistic semiotic analysis. Notwithstanding that in my thesis I apply it to literary works, it can also be applied to cinema and theatre.
