A Livraria Bertrand (Lisboa) solicitou a contribuição de seis autores portugueses para que realizassem uma leitura de La Dame à la Licorne (séc. XV), série de seis tapeçarias francesas encontrada no século XIX no castelo de Boussac, e exposta no Musée National du Moyen Age - Thermes et Hôtel de Cluny (Paris) desde 1882. Os painéis, reproduzidos junto aos textos do volume, sugerem representar a alegoria dos sentidos humanos, e cada autor solicitado abordou, de forma particular, uma das peças. Assim, consecutivamente, Maria Velho da Costa escreveu sobre a visão em A Vista; José Saramago, a audição em O Ouvido; Augusto Abelaira o olfato em O Olfacto; Nuno Bragança o paladar em O Gosto; Ana Hatherly o tato em O Tacto; e, por sua vez, Isabel da Nóbrega, em A sexta, tratou sobre À Mon Seul Désir, título dado à tapeçaria que realiza o fechamento da série e ilustra a capa do livro. Diante desse contexto, passamos a investigar inicialmente a origem das questões interartísticas nas poéticas da Antiguidade Clássica, bem como o contiuum desses pressupostos teóricos nas reflexões e gêneros artísticos na Idade Média, na Idade Moderna e na Contemporaneidade. Em seguida, delineamos como a herança da tradição especulativa em torno da fraternidade entre as artes incide na arte decorativa da tapeçaria, e, posteriormente, refletimos sobre a tessitura poética dos painéis... / Taking into consideration the homological perspective that involves the different artistic representations in Poética dos Cinco Sentidos / La Dame à La Licorne (1979), in this study we aim to deal with the interartistic correspondences in the text production process O Ouvido, by José Saramago. The Livraria Bertrand (Lisboa) requested the contribution of six Portuguese writers to perform a reading of La Dame à la Licorne (Sec. XV), a series of six French tapestries found in Boussac castle in the nineteenth century, and exposed in Musée National du Moyen Age - Thermes et Hôtel de Cluny (Paris) since 1882. The panels, reproduced along with the texts of the volume, suggest to represent the allegory of human senses, and each author invited approached, in his particularly way, one of the tapestries. Thus, consecutively, Maria Velho da Costa wrote about the sight in A Vista; José Saramago, the hearing in O Ouvido; Augusto Abelaira, the smell in O Olfacto; Nuno Bragança, the taste in O Gosto; Ana Hatherly, the touch in O Tacto; and Isabel da Nóbrega, in A sexta, wrote about À Mon Seul Désir, title given to the tapestry that ends the series and illustrates the cover of the book. In this context, we started by investigating the origin of interartistic matters in poetry of Classical Antiquity, as well as the continuum of these theoretical purposes in the reflection and artistic genres in Middle Age, Modern Age and Contemporaneity. Then, we outlined how the heritage of speculative tradition around fraternity among arts falls on tapestry decorative art. Later, we pondered over the poetical tessitura of La Dame à La Licorne’s panels... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

This dissertation presents as its principal objective an analysis of the work As intermitências da morte, by the Portuguese author José Saramago. There are few studies about this theme and, therefore, in the intention of adding bibliography to the studies about death on Saramago, we decided to increase the debate about that subject. This dissertation search to read and interpret this novel by the view of the circularity between erudite and popular cultures. Our studies are based both on Câmara Cascudo s studies, with his tales of the Portuguese- Brazilian folklore, and on the analysis made by Carlo Ginzburg and Bakhtin, about the intertextual dialogue between academy and folk. About the questions that concerns the myth, our studies are supported by Eliade, the Bible and the anthropological and philosophical studies about the death and the institutions that drill it, such as the Church, the government, the politics. This work also search to analyze the structure and the composition of the novel As intermitências da morte, by José Saramago. Our view touches the folkloric tales and myths that treat the theme of death and also touches works considered erudite in the academic sphere, such as The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dante s Divine Comedy, among others. / Esta dissertação apresenta como principal objetivo uma análise da obra As intermitências da morte, do autor português José Saramago. Há poucos estudos sobre essa temática e, portanto, no intuito de acrescentar bibliografia aos estudos sobre a morte em Saramago, resolvemos ampliar o debate sobre tal assunto. Esta dissertação procura ler e interpretar este romance pelo viés da circularidade entre as culturas eruditas e populares. Nossos estudos estão embasados tanto nos estudos de Câmara Cascudo, com seus contos do folclore luso-brasileiro, como também nas análises estabelecidas por Carlo Ginzburg e Bakhtin sobre o diálogo intertextual entre a academia e o povo. Já no que concerne às questões do mito, nossos estudos se apoiam em Eliade, na Bíblia e nos estudos antropológicos e filosóficos sobre a morte e as instituições que a adestram, como a Igreja, o governo, a política. Este trabalho procura ainda analisar a estrutura e a composição do romance As intermitências da morte, de José Saramago. Nosso olhar perpassa tanto os contos folclóricos e os mitos que tratam do tema da morte como também obras consideradas eruditas no meio universitário, como O Retrato de Dorian Gray, A Divina Comédia de Dante, dentre outros. / Mestre em Teoria Literária

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / O romance Ensaio sobre a cegueira, do escritor português José Saramago, publicado em 1995, revela profundas críticas à estrutura da sociedade hodierna, bem como sua política. Em vistas desse fato, a presente dissertação investiga as relações políticas e filosóficas presentes no romance, estabelecendo como arcabouço teórico as pesquisas do filósofi italiano Giorgio Agamben sobre o estado de exceção na série de volumes Homo Sacer, que segue a trilha deixada por Michel Foucault sobre os dispositivos de poder e saber na sociedade contemporânea. A pesquisa ora apresentada revela uma leitura do estado de exceção enquanto uma estrutura de exclusão da vida nuaatravés de uma via biopolítica que encontra no romance do escritor português um intenso questionamento sobre o homem moderno descolado de si mesmo / The presente study of the literary work of José Saramago, a portuguese writer, reveals a profound criticism to the structure of power in modern society, as well as, its politics. The hereby presented reading of the novel Ensaio sobre a cegueira, which was published in 1995, intends to perform an interpretative approach based on the studies of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben Reading of the state of emergency. His work follows the studies of the French philosopher Michel Foucault regarding the power devices used by society to create a specific sort of life which is designed according to political purposes. The main thesis over which the presente work is constructed reveals that the bare life can be excluded when na emergency state is declared, and as a resoult, life can be killed

This analysis promotes a dialogue between Literature, Cultural Studies and Cultural Geography Humanist. To this end, the research points to the need to reflect on the concepts of identity, space, place and landscape, from the contributions of cultural studies and geography Cultural Humanist, respectively, which allows to analyze how the constitution of identities takes place in geographical space, according to the experience and perception of the characters, and understand the representations of the landscape by the author and his relationship with the dilemmas in contemporary man. It is in this light it is intended to situate the work of José Saramago, Portuguese writer who seeks consistency with the reality of his country and of the contemporary world, which depicts a man in search of finding a world that often does not allow the meeting can not even same. / Estudo das identidades das personagens a partir das configurações de espaço e da percepção da paisagem no conto intitulado O conto da ilha desconhecida (1998) e no romance Ensaio sobre a cegueira (1995), de José Saramago. Tal análise promove um diálogo entre a Literatura, os Estudos Culturais e a Geografia Humanista Cultural. Para tanto, a pesquisa aponta para a necessidade de se refletir sobre os conceitos de identidade, espaço, lugar e paisagem, a partir das contribuições da Geografia Humanista Cultural e dos Estudos Culturais, respectivamente, o que possibilita analisar como a constituição das identidades se processa no espaço geográfico, segundo a experiência e percepção das personagens, além de compreender as representações da paisagem construídas pelo autor e sua relação com os dilemas vividos pelo homem na contemporaneidade. É sob essa ótica que se pretende situar a obra de José Saramago, escritor português que busca compreender a realidade de seu país e do mundo contemporâneo, que retrata um sujeito na busca de se encontrar num mundo que muitas vezes não permite o encontro nem consigo mesmo.

The comparative method was used to promoving a dialogue between brazilian and portuguese literature. The authors made a History s critical revision, when through fiction, anonymous and stranger people had opportunity to show a new version of facts. In this way, the forgetful people and everyone who were quiet or had kept in silence by oficial history for years earned voice. The fictional procedures and organization of narratives reveal ideological marks of past that contrast with present, we have the time of history in direct confront with time of writing. Feminine characters are agents of social transformation, too. They keep themselves an ideological speech which approach them to the present. They look into their reality, and thought acute sense show us aspects of nature and human relationship had never seen before. The sensibility, capacity to appreciate the world and years of repression make the feminine characters a spokeswomen of excluded people such as poors, women and jewish beyond all persons who had an inadequate behaviour to pattern of period. Therefore, our purpose was reveal the manner as writters articulated literature elements mixing ideological aspects of present and past, history and fiction to build a ficcional universe which destroy the dominant ideology / Neste trabalho fizemos uma análise da estrutura narrativa dos romances Desmundo de Ana Miranda e Memorial do Convento de José Saramago e das respectivas personagens Oribela e Blimunda. Utilizamos o método comparativo como instrumento de análise com o propósito de promover o diálogo entre as literaturas brasileira e portuguesa. Os romances fazem uma revisão crítica da história ao dar voz aos esquecidos, àqueles que foram calados pela História oficial. A organização estética, os procedimentos literários comuns ao corpus evidenciam marcas ideológicas de um tempo histórico que se contrapõem ao tempo da escritura. Por outro lado, a construção de personagens femininas que se destacam pelas atitudes e pela forma diferente de pensar e enfrentar a realidade, tornam-nas agentes de transformação social, portadoras de um discurso ideológico que as aproximam da contemporaneidade. É por meio da agudeza do olhar que essas personagens conseguem apreender o real em todas as suas nuanças e perceber aspectos da natureza e das relações humanas, impossíveis de serem captadas por indivíduos cuja visão é embotada pelo processo de automatização social. A sensibilidade, a capacidade de apreensão do mundo e o fato de ter sido calada durante tanto tempo, faz da personagem feminina uma espécie de porta-voz dos excluídos, seu discurso ganha uma dimensão que extrapola os limites do próprio romance. Sua perspicácia e agudeza, assim como a forma como penetra e revela a natureza e as relações humanas materializam-se esteticamente na narrativa. Nosso objetivo, portanto, foi mostrar como os escritores articularam os elementos literários absorvendo traços ideológicos do presente e do passado e revelar de que maneira as protagonistas femininas se desenvolveram como agentes de transgressão social por meio de um discurso literário que esfacela a ideologia dominante

Scénarios d’aveuglement dans la littérature d’Orhan Pamuk, d’Ernesto Sábato, et de José Saramago analyse trois œuvres importantes de trois auteurs contemporains : Mon nom est Rouge d’Orhan Pamuk ; « Rapport sur les aveugles » du roman Héros et tombes d’Ernesto Sábato ; et L’aveuglement de José Saramago. Malgré leurs différences, ces romans ont des points communs évidents, synthétisés dans la figure de l’aveuglement. Cette figure signale l’avènement, dans les textes, d’un régime de connaissance alternatif, centré moins sur le primat de la raison et du visuel que sur une nouvelle capacité cognitive, basée sur une logique spéciale du destin. L’aveuglement s’ouvre également sur une nouvelle compréhension de l’histoire, grâce à une capacité du récit de fiction qui passe par le point de fuite de la cécité. Pour Pamuk, l’aveuglement est le couronnement paradoxal d’une vision du monde, gravement mise en crise à la fin du XVIe siècle par le perspectivisme et le réalisme de la Renaissance, la voie d’entrée vers un monde imaginal qui n’est plus accessible à l’imaginaire occidental. Pour Sábato, il représente la variante renversée d’une quête de l’absolu qui passe par les antres de l’inceste, de l’enfer et du crime, tandis que le monde décrit par Saramago est un monde qui sombre sur la pente de la déchéance, en suivant une logique implacable. Il est l’équivalent de plusieurs formes de cécité qui menacent le monde contemporain, comme le fondamentalisme religieux, l’homogénéité préconisée par la société de masse, l’exclusion raciale, l’oppression idéologique. La thèse se divise en trois parties, La violente beauté du monde, Un mythe hérétique de la caverne et Une épidémie à cause inconnue, chacune d’entre elles analysant l’œuvre d’un auteur, mais établissant également des liens avec les autres chapitres. L’approche adoptée est interdisciplinaire, un croisement entre études littéraires, philosophie et histoire de l’art. Dans leur quête de nouveaux concepts et de nouvelles formes de pensée qui s’écartent du modèle rationnel dominant de la modernité, les trois auteurs partent de la présupposition que regarder les choses n’est pas du tout l’équivalent de voir les choses. Ils tentent d’articuler une logique du voir qui ressemble plutôt à la vision et à la clairvoyance qu’à la conformité logique. La figure de l’aveuglement sert de tremplin vers le monde imaginal (Pamuk), la pensée magique (Sábato) et la vision dystopique (Saramago) – des espaces ontologiquement différents où les auteurs mènent leurs attaques contre la rationnalité à tout prix. C’est précisément ces espaces que nous avons choisi d’explorer dans les trois romans. Nous soutenons également que ces trois textes proposent un nouveau régime de « connaissance » qui met en question les règles de pensée héritées de la Renaissance et surtout des Lumières, qui constituent un discours dominant dans la culture visuelle et philosophique moderne. / Blindness in the Literature of Orhan Pamuk, Ernesto Sábato, José Saramago examines three important texts by three well-known contemporary authors: My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk; the chapter « Report on the Blind » from the novel On Heroes and Tombs by Ernesto Sábato; and Blindness by José Saramago. The trope of blindness is a common theme in these novels, despite their significant differences. Blindness introduces an alternative regime of knowledge, centered less on the primacy of the rational and the visual than on a new cognitive capacity, grounded in a specific logic of destiny. It proposes new understandings of history, due to a fictionalizing capacity, which passes through the fault lines of blindness. For Pamuk, blindness represents the paradoxical culmination of a traditional, Islamic world view, which was challenged in the 16th century by the perspectivism and the realism of Renaissance. This conception is regarded as the royal road to an imaginal world that remains inaccessible to the western imaginary. In Sábato’s novel, blindness prompts the reversed version of a quest for absolute, which passes through incest, hell and crime. In the dystopic world depicted by Saramago, this trope is symptomatic of a continuous decay, which follows an implacable logic. It also points to the many forms of blindness that threaten the contemporary world, such as religious fundamentalism, the leveling produced by mass culture and mass society, racial exclusion, ideological oppression. The thesis is divided in three chapters: The Violent Beauty of the World, A Heretical Myth of the Cave and An Epidemic with an Unknown Reason. Each chapter examines one of the three novels, but connections and cross-links among the individual chapters are also established. My investigation provides an interdisciplinary approach, which relies on paradigms from literary studies, philosophy and art history. All three authors examined in the dissertation start from the assumption that looking is not equivalent to seeing. Their texts attempt to formulate a logic of seeing indebted to vision rather than to logical accuracy. The figure of blindness serves as a springboard towards the imaginal world (Pamuk), magical thought (Sábato) and dystopia (Saramago) – ontologically different spaces where the authors counter rationality with new modes of vision. The dissertation explores the articulation of these spaces in the three novels. It argues that these texts on blindness propose a regime of « knowledge » that challenges the dominant discourses on vision, rationality, and the mind – the legacy of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment – in modern visual culture and modern philosophy.

A declaração foi feita quando se referia ao romance A caverna, pertencente ao que denominou como fase da Pedra em sua produção. Nessa mesma conferência, o autor assegura ter levantado algumas pistas em seus romances que ensejam uma reflexão sobre um novo momento social ali transfigurado. No encalço dessa afirmação, elegemos, portanto, a referida fase em nossa tese tanto por situar o contexto de sua fala quanto por ser nesta que o autor declara verter-se ao núcleo de suas reflexões ou, como prefere metaforicamente dizer, à matéria (pedra) de que é feita a Estátua. Dessa forma, pretendemos perceber como a organização social ficcionalizada nos romances da Pedra de José Saramago aponta indícios do surgimento de um novo modelo societário naquele universo narrativo. De modo mais específico, analisaremos a presença dessa sociedade em transformação construída nos enredos sob o viés de três facetas, a saber: o Estado, a Economia e o Sujeito. Dentre os romances da fase da Pedra estabelecemos um recorte que inclui Ensaio sobre a cegueira (1995), Ensaio sobre a lucidez (2004) e As intermitências da morte (2005), para percepcionarmos as relações estatais; A caverna (2000) e Alabardas, alabardas, espingardas, espingardas (2014), para pensarmos as contingências do setor econômico, e, por último, Todos os nomes (1997) e O homem duplicado (2002), para compor os inquéritos acerca do sujeito. Para identificarmos as pistas das possíveis alterações ocorridas nessas facetas sociais, mediante o avançar da modernidade, utilizaremos como aporte teórico que transversaliza nossas discussões o conceito de desencantamento do mundo, de Max Weber, observando como ele pode criar inteligibilidade e auxiliar na compreensão daquilo que, no texto de Saramago, se deseja como leitura social de um mundo em transformação / Portuguese writer José Saramago stated, during a Conference held in the city of Turin, that the identity of modern Western society has been changing in contemporary times. The statement was made when referring to the romance The Cave, belonging to what he called the Stone phase of his production. At the same Conference, the author ensures to have raised some clues in his novels that lead to a reflection on a new social moment transfigured in it. In the wake of such statement, we have chosen, therefore, the referred phase in our thesis both for placing the context of his speech and as for being where the author declares to shed to the core of his reflections or, as he prefers to metaphorically say, the matter (stone) the Statue is made of. Accordingly, we want to understand how the social organization that is fictionalized in the novels by José Saramago points out evidence of the emergence of a new corporate model in such narrative universe. Specifically, we will examine the presence of this changing society built on the plots under the bias from three facets, namely: the State, the Economy and the Individual. Among the novels of the Stone phase we have established a window that includes Blindness (1995), Seeing (2004) and Death with Interruptions (2005), to perceive State relations; The Cave (2000) and The Halberds (2014), to reason the unpredictability of the economic sector, and, finally, All the Names (1997) and The Double (2002), to enquire about the individual. In order to identify the leads of possible changes in these social facets, by the advance of modernity, we will use as a theoretical contribution that cuts across our discussion the concept of Max Weber's disenchantment of the world, observing how it can create intelligibility and assist in understanding what, in Saramago's text, is desired as a social reading of a world under transformation
