2	"The primacy of discourse" : language lessons in Samuel Delany's Hogg Dechavez, Yvette Marie 10 August 2011 (has links) In this Master’s Report, I examine Samuel R. Delany’s use of language in his pornographic novel, Hogg. Through a postcolonial lens, I investigate the ways Delany employs white colonizers’ language to subvert white dominant patriarchal and heteronormative ideologies. As theorists Frantz Fanon and Hortense J. Spillers posit, language is essential to black identity. The arrival of Europeans on the African continent and the subsequent enslavement of blacks resulted in the loss of an indigenous African name. For blacks, the loss of this name serves as a larger metaphor by which one can uncover various wrongdoings committed by white colonizers, such as forcing Africans to learn a foreign language, refusing to acknowledge and respect an established African culture, and the physical violence enacted upon black bodies during slavery. In Hogg, the eleven-year-old black narrator negotiates his existence as a voiceless object and sex slave. I argue that through this narrator, one can see the devastating effects of colonization. Further, by creating a fictional world--the Pornotopia--Delany temporarily creates a space in which patriarchal boundaries no longer exist. Thus, the narrator challenges patriarchal, heteronormative discourse by taking advantage of the assumption that the narrator lacks the ability to master language. / text Delany, Samuel R.

3	Homoerotismo em questão na literatura brasileira A condição homoafetiva nas obras Stella Manhattan e Keith Jarret no Blue Note: Improvisos de Jazz de Silviano Santiago Alves, Alisson de Albuquerque 12 May 2010 (has links) Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T12:23:43Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Alisson_Albuquerque_MLI.pdf: 758891 bytes, checksum: 1629753424d51f48bde9712e04df3834 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-05-12 / The literature is a propitiate way so that several speeches, beyond what is said about the own literary phenomenon, be presented/recreated in the sense of envision possibilities of reconstruction/reframing of the subjects in the cultural space, once these ones can, on one side, make part and/or to understand the status quo hegemonic, as well as they can, on the other hand, accomplish, with effect, the (re)appearance of new "individual" subjects - ethnic minorities and class, nationals and gender -, which insist in a fight -demarcate territories and to look for the recognition of cultural values that should be given. For this optics, we left from the literary production of representation homoerotic that, as the feminine representation, it works a speech appraiser of the condition of the gay subjects in the sociocultural context, mainly when it is taken into consideration that these suffer, as it discusses Silva (2007), the prejudice, the homophobia or intolerance. Then, with base in what seems be the most important criterion to consider the existence of a literature of gay expression - the homoerotic thematic, we had the objective, in that master's degree dissertation, to observe and to discuss the representations homoerotic, analyzing the condition homoaffective in the novel "Stella Manhattan" (1991) and the book of short stories "Keith Jarret no blue note" (1996), both by Silvano Santiago, with the intention of verifying the representations of the homoerotic desire, as well the aspects that, hypothetically, could make possible the constitution of a "gay aesthetics", according to the thought of some theoretical as Wilton Garcia (2000, 2004), for example, have been enough to deconstruct the duality homoaffective that ranging from the practice of homosexual and heterosexual and homophobic and makes the expression of gay desire a possibility of institutionalization of the gay in the context sociocultural and construction of "identity". So, I intend this work to establish a link between what is conventionally known as gay literature, considering its existence, and how the homoerotic themes and recurring elements of this literature are approached in works that we proposed to examine. For this, we will take as reference some texts that talk about the aspects of the conceptual issues and historical notions of gender, sexuality and homoeroticism, the questions surrounding the relationship between literature and homoeroticism, considering the erotic aspect of the term. Finally, the identity / sexual homoerotic through a wide study on the expression of gay literature, and later through the works that are part of our corpus analysis Stella Manhattan (1991) and book of short stories "Keith Jarrett on Blue Note" (1993), both of Silvano Santiago. / A literatura é um meio propício para que diversos discursos, além dos que já dizem respeito ao próprio fenômeno literário, sejam representados/recriados no sentido de vislumbrar possibilidades de reconstrução/ressignificação dos sujeitos no espaço cultural, uma vez que estes tanto podem, por um lado, fazer parte de um status quo hegemônico, como também podem, por outro lado, cumprir, com efeito, o (re)surgimento de novos sujeitos individuais minorias étnicas e de classe, nacionais e de gênero , os quais se empenham numa luta demarcar territórios e buscar o reconhecimento de valores culturais que lhes deveriam ser conferidos. Por essa ótica, partimos da produção literária de representação homoerótica que, como a de representação feminina, aciona um discurso avaliador da condição dos sujeitos (nesse caso, os gays) no contexto sociocultural, principalmente quando se leva em consideração que estes sofrem, como discute Silva (2007), o preconceito, a homofobia ou a intolerância. Então, com base no que parece ser o critério mais importante para considerar a existência de uma literatura de expressão gay a temática homoerótica, tivemos o objetivo, nessa dissertação, de observar e questionar as representações homoeróticas, analisando a condição homoafetiva no romance Stella Manhattan (1991) e no livro de contos Keith Jarret no blue note (1996), ambos de Silviano Santiago, com o intuito de verificar se as representações do desejo homoerótico, bem como os aspectos que, hipoteticamente, poderiam possibilitar a constituição de uma estética gay ou da literatura gay como um gênero, segundo o pensamento de alguns teóricos como Wilton Garcia (2000, 2004), por exemplo, têm desconstruído a dualidade homoafetiva entre a prática homo e heterossexual homofóbica e denotam o desejo como uma possibilidade de institucionalização do gay no contexto sociocultural e de construção de identidade sexual e/ou de gênero. Assim, busca-se, com este trabalho, estabelecer uma relação entre o que se convencionou chamar de literatura gay, considerando a sua existência, e a temática homoerótica somada aos recursos imagéticos nas obras que propusemos analisar. Para tanto, tomamos como referência alguns textos em torno dos aspectos relacionados às questões conceituais e históricas das noções de gênero, sexualidade e homoerotismo; às questões que envolvem as relações entre literatura e homoerotismo, considerando o aspecto erótico do termo; por último, às identidades sexuais homoeróticas através de um estudo panorâmico acerca da literatura de expressão gay, e, posteriormente, através das representações do desejo gay nas obras que fazem parte do nosso corpus de análise.

6	Pier Vittorio Tondelli: Letteratura Minore e Scrittura dell'Impegno Sociale Gastaldi, Sciltian 20 March 2014 (has links) Abstract This thesis illustrates the social engagement in the literary writings of Pier Vittorio Tondelli, an Italian gay author whose works have been described by many Catholic, Materialists, and gay critics as frivolous and disengaged. The dissertation summarizes the mutation of the Italian literary concept of impegno from Neorealism to Postmodernism, through a selection of the texts of Elio Vittorini, Italo Calvino, Franco Fortini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Leonardo Sciascia, and Umberto Eco. It shows how Tondelli’s interpretation of the role of the writer falls within the definitions given by Calvino and Eco. Moreover, the thesis demonstrates that Altri libertini and Pao Pao satisfy the characteristics of littérature mineure established by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, though Tondelli’s oeuvre is socially engaged instead of being politically engaged because of his lack of a political ideology. The dissertation highlights the core of Tondelli’s social commitment in his passionate defense of the outcasts in: Altri libertini where drug addicts, homosexuals, transsexuals, and bums are the protagonists; Pao Pao where a group of gay soldiers is described in its grotesque and camp attempt to “homosexualize” their barrack; Rimini where the Riviera Adriatica is portrayed as a place where everyone passes by and no one belongs; Camere separate through the love story of a gay couple in which one partner has to survive his lover’s death, due to an illness that is demonstrated in this thesis to be AIDS, while fighting against the homophobia of their families, institutions, society, and religion. Most of Tondelli’s socially excluded characters are introduced to the reader through an internal homodiegetic point of view. Another important component of Tondelli’s impegno is his open defense of both pop-culture and counter-cultures: gay, hippies, rockers, experimental theatre, street artists and alternative radio, which are central in all his writings.
