Previous issue date: 2017-03-03 / Sem bolsa / A presente pesquisa resulta da comparação entre as obras Cemitério dos Vivos
e Diário do Hospício, de Lima Barreto, e Um Estranho no Ninho, de Ken Kesey.
Verifica-se de que forma são representados a loucura, os alienados e as
instituições manicomiais nestes textos literários. Trata-se, aqui, da investigação
referente ao modo como é narrada a experiência vivida pelos autores em relação
ao sistema imposto pela Ciência, e isso se faz a partir da leitura de textos
ficcionais e de testemunho. No decorrer dos tempos, o assunto em questão
rumou em diferentes caminhos e tratar de aspectos sociais como a loucura,
objeto de estudo deste trabalho, se faz necessário para o questionamento da
história, do sistema e do reflexo de ambos no comportamento humano na
sociedade. O estudo aqui presente demonstra de que modo a loucura serve
como ponto em comum para entender as diferentes culturas dos autores
escolhidos, bem como sinaliza primordialmente a modificação do homem pelo
meio em que vive. Tal constatação será o fio condutor da discussão proposta,
bem como a averiguação de que, apesar da ausência de um conceito concreto
acerca da loucura, este assunto é de grande relevância para o entendimento do
homem e seu papel e lugar social. / The following work is a result of the comparison between Lima Barreto’s
Cemitério dos Vivos [Graveyard of the Living] and Diário do Hospício [Journal of
the Asylum], and Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The focus is
on the ways madness, the insane, and the mental institutions are represented in
such books. The investigation stems from the narrative of the author’s living
experiences in regard to the system imposed by science, through literary and
testimonial texts. Throughout the years, the topic of madness has trailed different
paths, and discussing it is necessary to question history, the system, and how
both reflect upon human social behavior. This study demonstrates how madness
serves as a common ground to understand different cultures and how it signals
the imposition of the environment upon humans. This point is what leads this
discussion, as well as the investigation around madness which, despite not
having one concrete definition, is highly relevant to understand humans and their
social place.

Reporting Live From Edge City: The Dynamic "Statuspheres" of Tom Wolfe's AmericaJanuary 2014 (has links)
abstract: During the 1960s, American youth were coming of age in a post–war period marked by an unprecedented availability of both money and leisure time. These conditions afforded young people new opportunities for exploring fresh ways of thinking and living, beyond the traditional norms of their parents' generation. Tom Wolfe recognized that a revolution was taking place, in terms of manners and morals, spearheaded by this latest generation. He built a career for himself reporting on the diverse groups that were developing on the periphery of the mainstream society and the various ways they were creating social spaces, what he termed “statuspheres,” for themselves, in which to live by their own terms. Using the techniques of the New Journalism—“immersion” reporting that incorporated literary devices traditionally reserved for writers of fiction—Wolfe crafted creative non–fiction pieces that attempted not only to offer a glimpse into the lives of these fringe groups, but also to place the reader within their subjective experiences. This thesis positions Wolfe as a sort of liminal trickster figure, who is able to bridge the gap between disparate worlds, both physical and figurative. Analyzing several of Wolfe's works from the time period, it works to demonstrate the almost magical way in which Wolfe infiltrates various radical, counterculture and otherwise “fringe” groups, while borrowing freely from elements across lines of literary genre, in order to make his subjects' experiences come alive on the page. This work attempts to shed light on his special ability to occupy multiple spaces and perspectives simultaneously, to offer the reader a multidimensional look into the lives of cultural outsiders and the impact that they had and continue to have on the overarching discussion of the American Experience. Ultimately, this paper argues that by exposing these various outlying facets of American culture to the mainstream readership, Wolfe acts as a catalyst to reincorporate these fringe elements within the larger conversation of what it means to be American, thereby spurring a greater cultural awareness and an expansion of the collective American consciousness. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. English 2014
