O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar as conformações discursivas polêmicas presentes na obra Levantado do Chão, de José Saramago. Tendo por formulação teórica inicial o processo dialógico da linguagem, contata-se que, a partir de diferentes vozes sociais apresentadas pelo romance, acaba o autor por apresentar a partir do campo ficcional as tensões sociais que se desenvolvem ao longo do século XX em Portugal, na região de Monte Lavre. Comparativamente, a partir destas construções discursivas problematizamos os enunciados dos camponeses e dos proprietários rurais que, ao longo da narrativa, acabam por nos apresentar sob a perspectiva dialética um quadro concreto da dimensão histórica do período retratado. / The objective of this work is to study the conformations present in the work discursive polemics Levantado do chão by José Saramago.

To carry out this purpose, the research is organized into three chapters. In the first, entitled "Contemporary Tendencies in Portuguese Literature", we present a brief overview of contemporary Portuguese romance and its main tendencies, as well as the literary journey undertaken by Saramago. Considerations of Miguel Real and Alvaro Cardoso Gomes in the reconstruction of this Portuguese literary scene, and interviews and critical comments about his own work, made by Saramago, were essential in this chapter. In "Discourses on the threshold: between (re)affirmation and the (re)formulation," the second chapter of the study, we discuss the concept of metafiction proposed by Linda Hutcheon and commented by Gustavo Bernardo and present the metafictional strategies employed by the author in the construction of the studied novel and the effects of meaning generated by such employment. The intertextuality the resumption of popular sayings, the Bible discourse or the dialog with other unrelated texts the intratextuality and metalanguage were evidenced here. In the last chapter, "Dialogues between Saramago and Platonic caves", it s investigated the intertextual dialogue established between the novel of Saramago and the myth of Plato's cave, suggested from the very title of the work. The objective was to thus display as through the resumption of foreign texts, the Portuguese author moves between the (des)construction and (re)construction of the speeches, creating a threshold text and requiring the reader his effective participation in the creation of new meanings. The concepts of Kristeva and Jenny, regarding the intertextuality, already employed in chapter two, were quite relevant / O presente estudo tem como proposta investigar as estratégias metaficcionais presentes no romance A Caverna, de José Saramago, bem como demonstrar de que forma o autor, recorrendo à intertextualidade, propõe ora a (re)formulação, ora a (re)afirmação dos discursos alheios, construindo e desnudando um texto que permanece no limiar. Para a realização deste intento, a pesquisa está organizada em três capítulos. No primeiro, intitulado As Tendências Contemporâneas da Literatura Portuguesa , apresentamos um breve panorama do romance contemporâneo português e suas principais tendências, bem como a trajetória literária empreendida por Saramago. As considerações de Miguel Real e Álvaro Cardoso Gomes na reconstituição deste panorama literário português, e as entrevistas e comentários críticos acerca da própria obra feitos por Saramago foram essenciais na construção deste capítulo. Em Discursos no Limiar: entre a (re)Afirmação e a (re)Formulação , segundo capítulo da dissertação, discutimos o conceito de metaficção proposto por Linda Hutcheon e comentado por Gustavo Bernardo e apresentamos as estratégias metaficcionais empregadas pelo autor na construção do romance em estudo e os efeitos de sentido gerados por tal emprego. A intertextualidade seja na retomada de ditos populares, no discurso bíblico ou ainda outros textos alheios , a intratextualidade e a metalinguagem foram aqui evidenciadas. No último capítulo, Diálogos entre as Cavernas Saramaguiana e Platônica , investigamos o diálogo intertextual estabelecido entre o romance de Saramago e o mito da caverna de Platão, sugerido desde o próprio título da obra. Objetivou-se, assim, apresentar como por meio da retomada de textos alheios, o autor português transita entre a (des)construção e a (re)construção dos discursos, criando um texto do limiar, e exigindo do leitor sua participação efetiva na criação de novos sentidos. Os conceitos de Kristeva e Jenny, no tocante à intertextualidade, já empregados também no capítulo dois, foram bastante relevantes

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.

Jesus' story has been retold in various forms and fashions for centuries. Jesus novels, a subset of the historical fiction genre, are one of the latest means of not only re-imagining the man from Galilee but also of rewriting the canonical Gospels. This thesis explores the Christological portraits constructed in four of those novels while also using the novels to examine the intertextual play of these Gospel rewrites with their Gospel progenitors. Chapter 1 offers a prolegomenon to the act of fictionalizing Jesus that discusses the relationship between the person and his portraits and the hermeneutical circle created by these texts as they both rewrite the Gospels and stimulate a rereading of them. It also establishes the "preposterous" methodology that will be used when reexamining the Gospels "post" reading the novels. Chapters 2 to 5 offer four case studies of "complementing" and "competing" novels and the techniques they use to achieve these aims: Anne Rice's Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt; Neil Boyd's The Hidden Years; Nino Ricci's Testament; and José Saramago's The Gospel according to Jesus Christ. Chapter 6 begins an examination of a specific interpretive circle based upon Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. Beginning with the synoptic accounts of that event, the chapter then turns to how Jesus' testing has been reinterpreted and presented in two of the novels. Returning to the Gospel of Matthew's version of the Temptation, chapter 7 offers a "preposterous" examination of that pericope, which asks novel questions of the text and its role with Matthew's narrative context based on issues raised by the Gospel rewrites. The thesis concludes by suggesting that Jesus novels, already important examples of the reception history of the Gospels, can also play a helpful role in re-interpreting the Gospels themselves.
