This thesis deals with an analysis of chosen books written by a famous German writer Thedor Fontane. Particularly, there are three main books I have chosen for my analysis ? Desire, Torment, Effie Briest and L?Adultera. There is a theoretical part at the beginning of my thesis. I have focused on dealing with specialized foundation. This represents later a basic part for a following analysis in the second, practical part. The second part, the analysis of books, includes general information about the book, brief content of a book and attributes of main characters. It is followed by comparison of historical reality with reality shown in the book. At the end of the whole thesis, there is the third part ? comparison of all three novels, generally as well as from the point of view of the main characters and the historical fidelity of books.

This thesis contributes to existing discussions of Soviet subjectivity by considering how the efforts of the Party leadership and state agencies to shape personal and collective identities were mediated by the teaching of Russian classics to teenagers. It concentrates in particular on the history of literature course provided by Soviet schools for the upper years. The study addresses the following questions: (1) How was literary expression employed to instigate children's emotions and create interpretive habits as a way of inculcating a Soviet worldview? (2) What immediate effects did the methods have on teenagers? (3) What were the long-term effects of this type of indoctrination? Answering these questions required close reading of material produced by official authorities, such as methodological programmes, teachers' aids, professional journals, and textbooks for class instruction, and also of material produced by those at the receiving end of Stalinist literary instruction, including both sources contemporary to the period under scrutiny (i.e. diaries written between 1936-1941), and later autobiographical material (memoirs, oral history). I argue that for many teenagers growing up during this period, indoctrination in the classroom blurred the boundary between reality and fiction, and provided a moral compass to navigate their social environment, to judge others as well as themselves along prescribed lines, and model their lives on the precepts and slogans of the characters and authors they encountered, particularly the 19th-century radical democrats. Retrospective accounts - interviews, memoirs, and written responses to questions - expose the durability of the moral and ethical lessons derived from Russian classics and reveal the enduring Soviet emotional complex formed by this literary instruction. Investigating the impacts of the study of Russian classics on Soviet recipients, particularly from elite groups such as the city intelligentsia, my discussion highlights the political traction of the literary in, for instance, forming feelings of group belonging and strong emotional responses to differing views. I conclude with a discussion of the relation of this to long-term political effects, including the re-appraisal, in the twenty-first century, of Stalin-era teaching methodology as an effective way of instilling patriotic sentiments in students, and the legacy of Soviet perceptions and practices in the expression of personal and collective identities in the post-Soviet period.

By tracking the intersection of contemporary fiction and the information technologies of the digital age, this thesis argues that the narratives being produced over the past ten years have evolved into a distinct genre of literature, one where the aesthetics of fragmentation and postmodern uncertainty must confront the new realities of a digitally saturated culture and society. In order to demonstrate this alteration in contemporary fiction, this thesis considers novels written within the past ten years that reflect on this new form of textuality, namely Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis (2003) and David Eggers’ The Circle (2013). These texts demonstrate a paradigm shift in contemporary literature, a new kind of fiction in which American society, culture, economics, and politics, are all directly affected by various forms of digital mediatisation. These authors reflect an altered cultural zeitgeist within their fiction—writings which can be differentiated from the postmodern literary aesthetic—prompted by neoteric digital technologies coupled with the ubiquitous nature of the Internet. Although this topic is broad and covers multiple fields of scholarly interests, my thesis nonetheless concerns itself with a very specific line of questioning: will our authors have the imaginative wherewithal and social sensitivity to keep pace with changes brought forth by the explosion of information technologies? If so, what type of fiction is likely to emerge from this new digital environment? By taking a focused approach and using contemporary literature as representative of these massive social, economic, and political transformations, my research recalls Kurt Vonnegut’s “Canary in the Coal Mine” dictum: the writer has always been the first to notice the dramatic effects of technology on the individual and the culture at large.

In view of this finding, this research was developed with the objective of investigating the circulation and dissemination of prose fiction in the newspapers of São Luís and de Caxias, in the First Cycle of Literature in Maranhão (1832-1868), considering the Maranhão political-social context and the possibility of the formation of a Literary System of Maranhão, in this textual form, in order to know better the History of Reading and Literature, in this state, in the nineteenth century. It is a study in primary source, since newspapers were used; As well as bibliographical, since books, journals, theses, dissertations and articles were also searched, involving qualitative and critical-analytical procedures. The theoretical foundation is based on Cultural History, History of Brazilian Literature, History of Maranhão Literature, History of Reading and History of Newspapers. As for Cultural History, the notions of practice, appropriation and representation, studied by Roger Chartier (2001; 2002; 2004, 2005; 2011), were followed, according to which literary objects are studied as a result of the cultural practices of an era. For the History of Brazilian Literature, we take as reference the texts of Antonio Candido (2012), regarding the Brazilian literary context, in the nineteenth century. In relation to the History of Maranhão Literature, the main basis was the essay by Antônio dos Reis Carvalho (1912), who presents this literature by canonical bias; Followed by the study of Ricardo André Ferreira Martins (2009), about newspapers as sources of this literature, but also valuing the canon. On the History of Reading and the Newspapers, the ideas of Socorro de Fátima Pacífico Barbosa (2007, 2005, 2013), Márcia Abreu (2007), Marisa Lajolo and Regina Zilberman (1996) and Marlyse Meyer (2005) were used. Specifically, regarding the Maranhão newspapers, the main references were the studies of Joaquim Serra (2001) and Quincas Vilaneto (2008). / O jornal era o principal suporte de circulação do escrito e de divulgação do trabalho literário no Brasil do século XIX, em vista dessa constatação, foi desenvolvida esta pesquisa, com o objetivo de investigar a circulação e a divulgação da prosa de ficção, nos jornais de São Luís e de Caxias, no Primeiro Ciclo da Literatura no Maranhão (1832-1868), considerando o contexto político-social maranhense e a possibilidade da formação de um Sistema Literário do Maranhão, nessa forma textual, a fim de que se conheça melhor a História de Leitura e da Literatura, nesse estado, no século XIX. Trata-se de um estudo em fonte primária, visto que foram utilizados jornais; bem como bibliográfico, uma vez que foram também pesquisados livros, revistas, teses, dissertações e artigos, envolvendo os procedimentos qualitativos e crítico-analítico. A fundamentação teórica é pautada na História Cultural, História da Literatura Brasileira, História da Literatura Maranhense, História da Leitura e História dos Jornais. Quanto à História Cultural, foram seguidas as noções de prática, apropriação e representação, estudadas por Roger Chartier (2001; 2002; 2004, 2005; 2011), segundo as quais os objetos literários são estudados como resultado das práticas culturais de uma época. Para a História da Literatura Brasileira, tomamos como referencial os textos de Antonio Candido (2012), a respeito do contexto literário brasileiro, no século XIX. Em relação à História da Literatura Maranhense, a principal base foi o ensaio de Antônio dos Reis Carvalho (1912), que apresenta essa literatura pelo viés canônico; seguido pelo estudo de Ricardo André Ferreira Martins (2009), a respeito dos jornais como fontes dessa literatura, mas também valorizando o cânone. Sobre a História da Leitura e dos Jornais serviram de apoio as ideias de Socorro de Fátima Pacífico Barbosa (2007, 2005, 2013), Márcia Abreu (2007), Marisa Lajolo e Regina Zilberman (1996) e Marlyse Meyer (2005). Especificamente, a respeito dos jornais maranhenses, as principais referências foram os estudos de Joaquim Serra (2001) e de Quincas Vilaneto (2008).

Both the Historical and the Literary knowledge relates to group and individual experiences from the present and the past. Since they reflect upon the past, they contribute to the construction of historical cultures. The extension, the length and the brutality of the First World War, characterized as a paradigmatic moment in the 20th century, has contributed for the construction of historical cultures that, aside their ifferences, question and search for a comprehension of the historical moment. / Este trabalho consiste em uma reflexão sobre a Grande Guerra (1914-1918), a partir da historiografia, dos romances Nada de Novo no Front, de Erich Maria Remarque e Adeus às Armas, de Ernest Hemingway e, conseqüentemente, das memórias engendradas por eles. Tanto o conhecimento histórico quanto o literário se relaciona com experiências individuais e coletivas do presente e do passado. Na medida em que ambos refletem sobre o passado, contribuem para a construção de culturas históricas. A Primeira Guerra Mundial se caracteriza como um momento paradigmático, do século XX, no qual a extensão, a duração e a brutalidade do conflito colaboraram para a construção de culturas históricas, que independentemente dos caminhos percorridos, questionam e procuram compreender este momento.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / A obra de Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953) constitui um rico e variado material para a pesquisa em histÃria, enveredando pela relaÃÃo com a fonte literÃria. Neste trabalho, foco minhas atenÃÃes para o interior do nordeste brasileiro retratado pelo escritor alagoano, tomando dois de seus romances de ficÃÃo, SÃo Bernardo(1934) e Vidas Secas(1938), pilares de sua obra, para analisar as questÃes conflitantes entre o homem Graciliano e as transformaÃÃes sociais que o envolvem, o registro da aÃÃo desse homem enquanto à observada sua prÃpria aÃÃo como literato engajado e, por fim, o poder que acompanha o saber e o contato com a produÃÃo literÃria, tambÃm verificado nessa arma que à a escrita. Dessa forma, o trabalho se divide em capÃtulos que tratam de cada uma dessas questÃes: tempo, fome e fala, a fim de tentar compreender o registro literÃrio da realidade do interior nordestino dos anos 30 do sÃculo passado. / The books by Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953) form a rich and varied subject for researching History, heading for the relation with the literary source. In this work, I focus on the interior of the northeast of Brazil depicted by that writer, starting from two of his novels â in fact, his masterpieces â âSÃo Bernardoâ (1934) and âBarren Livesâ (1938), in order to analyse questions about the conflict between Graciliano Ramos and social transformations which embrace him, the registration by him on his own action as a committed man of letters and, finally, the power which accompanies the knowledge and the contact with the literary production â this weapon, the writing. In this way, this work is divided in chapters which deal with this subjects: time, hunger and speech, trying to understand the literary register on reality of northeastern interior of Brazil in the thirties last century.

Este trabalho procura ler o Naturalismo brasileiro como parte importante de um movimento internacional e analisa algumas das adequações estéticas, temáticas e de método pelo qual passou. Considera que, a partir do modelo de romance experimental proposto por Émile Zola, autores como Aluísio Azevedo, Júlio Ribeiro e Adolfo Caminha, entre outros, escreveram romances que transformaram em matéria literária o processo de modernização econômica conservadora do Brasil no final do século 19, construindo personagens e tramas que deixaram marcas mais profundas na literatura brasileira do que tradicionalmente é reconhecido. Romances como O cortiço, A carne e Bom-Crioulo tocaram em questões traumáticas para o país, como a escravidão e o controle da sexualidade dos indivíduos, numa sociedade que se aburguesava em vários sentidos, e significaram uma modernização nas letras e nas mentalidades do país. / This work attempts to read the Brazilian Naturalism as an important fact of this international movement and examines some of aesthetic, thematic and methodological adjustments it has been passed in Brazil. It considers that the model proposed by Emile Zola was adapted in Brazil by authors such as Aluisio Azevedo, Julio Ribeiro and Adolfo Caminha, among others. The novels written by these authors expressed the conservative economic modernization of Brazil in the late 19th century, building characters and plots that have left marks in the Brazilian literature that are deeper than is used to recognize. Novels like O cortiço, A carne e Bom-Crioulo touched on traumatic issues, such as slavery and sexuality of individuals, in a progressively bourgeois society, and meant an expressive modernization in Brazilian letters and mentalities.

Dessa forma, construiu uma carreira extensa e movimentada, pois, além dos romances, escreveu em jornais do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo, também dirigiu órgãos de destaque ligados à cultura e à sociedade civil, especialmente durante o regime militar instaurado em 1964. Apesar desse percurso, críticos literários e historiadores da literatura e da história da região do cacau predeterminaram àquele autor, lugar e perfil imóveis na história intelectual brasileira - a de escritor "metafísico" e "apolítico" - verdadeiro contraponto ao seu conterrâneo, o "comunista" Jorge Amado. A despeito dessa imagem cristalizada no tempo, procuro demonstrar o quanto Adonias Filho atuou na construção de sua própria figura como escritor, assim como nas ocorrências de sua época e região; ainda, o quanto a sua argumentação foi moldada por elas. O estudo evidencia também como arte, história e política sempre formaram as vigas mestras de sua produção intelectual e literária, questão particularmente flagrada no longo debate literário e político ocorrido entre o autor e seu constante "adversário" Jorge Amado. / Abstract: This study deals with the political and intellectual journey curriculum of the writer Adonias Aguiar Filho, author of important works such as The servants of the Dead, Lázaro's Memories and The alive body. These books subject analyze the society of Ilhéus area of cocoa production. Adonias Aguiar Filho was significant author of critical Brazilian literary and history between 1930 and 1980. Thus, he has a long and very busy career, because in addition to novels, he wrote Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo newspapers; he also directed relevant organizations related to culture and society, especially during the military regime in 1964. Although this curriculum, literary critics, historians of literature and Historians criticize the author, as immobile or inert profile in the Brazilian intellectual history. They called Adonias Aguiar Filho the "metaphysical" and "apolitical" writer true counterpoint to his countryman, the "Communist" Jorge Amado. In spite of this image crystallized in time, we focus on how Adonias energetically build up his own image as a writer, as well as he was very interested in the events of his time and region. We will analyze how his novel?s argument has been shaped by his time events. The study also try to demonstrate how art, history and politics have always formed the girders of Adonias intellectual and literary production, an issue particularly exposed on the long literary and political debate between the author and his constant "adversary" Jorge Amado. / Doutorado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Doutor em História
