A contracultura do segundo pós-guerra : um estudo comparativo entre a poesia marginal de Jack Kerouac e Nicolas Behr

Santos, Maria Clara Dunck 16 July 2012 (has links)
Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Letras, Departamento de Teoria Literária e Literaturas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, 2012 / Submitted by Albânia Cézar de Melo (albania@bce.unb.br) on 2013-01-23T15:21:29Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2012_MariaClaraDunckSantos.pdf: 1250114 bytes, checksum: c70afeb1a3da1650be18661c835f0eb8 (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Guimaraes Jacqueline(jacqueline.guimaraes@bce.unb.br) on 2013-01-24T11:42:46Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 2012_MariaClaraDunckSantos.pdf: 1250114 bytes, checksum: c70afeb1a3da1650be18661c835f0eb8 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2013-01-24T11:42:46Z (GMT).

Para a compreensão da literatura produzida nesse período, é necessário tratar da Contracultura, um movimento contestador que faz oposição à cultura dominante. Esta, de caráter conservador e elitista, serve à indústria cultural, como um importante veículo de propagação e manutenção do establishment. Apesar de apoiada por uma minoria, a Contracultura é fundamental para a compreensão da literatura contemporânea, visto que, ao se popularizar, contribuiu para a formação da dominante cultural do século XXI: a pós-modernidade. Este estudo compara duas literaturas contraculturais: uma norte-americana da década de 1950, conhecida como geração beat, e outra brasileira da década de 1970, chamada de geração mimeógrafo. Afirma-se que a brasileira é epígona da norte-americana. E para contrapor tal assertiva, esta pesquisa vale-se da Teoria dos Polissistemas, aliada à análise semiótica da poética de Jack Kerouac, no caso da geração beat, e da poética de Nicolas Behr, da geração mimeógrafo. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The advent of Second World War brought relevant changes in the global art scene. For understanding the literature produced during this period, it is necessary to study the Counterculture, a movement that opposes to the dominant culture, which serves the Culture Industry as an important vehicle for the propagation and maintenance of the conservative and elitist establishment. Although the Counterculture is supported by a minority, it is fundamental to the understanding of contemporary literature because its posterior popularity contributed to the formation of the dominant culture of the twenty-first century: the postmodernity. This study compares two countercultural literatures: an American in the 1950s, known as the Beat Generation, and another, Brazilian, in the 1970s, called geração mimeógrafo. It is said that the Brazilian counterculture literature is an epigone to the U.S. To prove this assertion, this research uses the Theory Polysystem allied to a semiotic analysis of the poetry of Jack Kerouac, in the case of the Beat Generation, and the poetry of Nicolas Behr, of the geração mimeógrafo.

Archival Vagabonds: 20th-Century American Fiction and the Archive in Novelistic Practice

Cloutier, Jean-Christophe January 2013 (has links)
My research explores the interplay between the archival and aesthetic sensibilities of novelists not typically associated with archival practices--Claude McKay, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, and Jack Kerouac. In juxtaposing their dual roles as public novelists and private archivists, I expose how their literary practices echo with core concepts in archival theory and position the novel as an alternative and superior site of historical preservation. Drawing on my experience as an archivist, I argue that the twentieth-century American novel's concern with inclusivity, preservation and posterity parallels archival science's changing approach to ephemera, arrangement, and diversity. The role of the archive in my work is both methodological and thematic: first, my own research incorporates these authors' cache of research materials, correspondence, drafts, diaries, and aborted or unpublished pieces, obtained during my visits to their various repositories. Second, I extricate the role of the archival in their fictions, and trace how their research, documentation, and classification practices inform their experiments with the novel form. I propose that all these vagabond masters of novelistic craft throw into relief the archive's positivist fallibility while also stressing its creative mutability.

Partimos da hipótese que ambos constituem narrativas de resistência inerente à escrita (BOSI, 2012), quando a resistência não é tema da obra, mas manifesta-se na construção das personagens e no desenrolar da trama. Neste caso, o elemento utilizado como meio de manifestar a resistência é a melancolia. Pretendeu-se verificar por meio de um estudo de caso, como ambos os romances trabalham representações do sujeito em sua relação com a morte com base em processos melancólicos e como a melancolia se encontra ligada a uma atitude de resistência predominante na escrita. Assim, examina-se a melancolia enquanto patologia (FREUD, 2005) e elemento estético, assim como o processo da narrativa de resistência ao mesclar ética e estética. Para tanto foram considerados os contextos sociais nos quais as narrativas foram escritas, e como estes indicam que cada romance faz uma crítica social a uma força opressora contemporânea a sua publicação. Durante nosso estudo, por meio de análise comparativa, constatamos que temas com a perda, a morte, a ruína, o afastamento melancólico, a marginalização social e a transitoriedade do real são comuns aos dois romances. / The main object in this study is analyze as narrative of resistance, the novels Tristessa by Jack Kerouac and Nove Noites by Bernardo Carvalho. It hypothesized that both form narratives of resistance innate to writing (BOSI, 2012), when the resistance is not the theme of work, but manifested in the construction of the characters and the unfolding of the plot. In this case, the element used as a way to express resistance is melancholy. It intended to verify through a case study, how both novels work representations of the subject in its relation to death based on melancholic process and how melancholy is connected to an attitude of resistance prevalent in writing. Thus, it examines the melancholy as pathology (FREUD, 2005) and aesthetic element, as well as the process of narrative resistance merges ethics and aesthetics. For this, it considered the social contexts in which narratives were written and how they indicate that each novel does a social criticism to an oppressive force at the time of their publication. During this study, through comparative analysis, it certified that themes as the loss, the death, the melancholy remoteness, the social marginalization and the real transience are common to both novels.

Caution ��� ideological mechanisms at work : interpellation and the melancholic turn in Jack Kerouac's On the Road and Ernest Hemingway's The Garden of Eden

Travers, Jessica D. 03 December 2012 (has links)
In this thesis I examine the ideological mechanisms that work to constitute, construct, and maintain subject identity. Such mechanisms include repetition, performativity, identification, and interpellation. I incorporate structuralist, post-structuralist, and psychoanalytic theories as a means to discuss the ways in which gender, sexuality, and identity are performative masquerades. Furthermore, these ideological mechanisms and heteronormative paradigms have the paradoxical power to produce both incurable melancholia and unrealized possibilities alike. Given this conversation, I turn to theorists such as Louis Althusser, Slavoj ��i��ek, and Judith Butler; these theorists employ different theoretical approaches and consequently their explanations regarding how and why identity is manufactured frequently differ. From this productive point of difference, I apply the theories to a literary analysis of Jack Kerouac's On the Road and Ernest Hemingway's The Garden of Eden. Paired together, the critical theories and literary works act to complicate and nuance each other, and collectively introduce valuable insights regarding who or what is subject. / Graduation date: 2013

Tramping: alternatives to traditional American rites of passage

Unknown Date (has links)
In America today, adolescent boys do not have a structured, ritualized or guided passage From boyhood into manhood. Many young men feel unsure of their manhood even at an age that signifies the transition. This causes young males to need a self--‐created rite of passage. Tramping, the act of travelling by train, hitchhiking or foot, is one way in which young males can independently achieve manhood. This is a literary account of the lives of Jack Kerouac, Chris McCandless, and Zebu Recchia. Their personal stories allow a detailed view of the advantages and disadvantages found in a self--‐created rite of passage. While two of the accounts are successful, in Chris McCandless’s case the rite ends in a transition to death.Tramping as a rite of passage to adulthood seems effective but the danger in self--‐ creation appears to be the lack of guidance that comes in unstructured rites of passage. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2013.

The role of the "flâneur" in Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road

Domingues, Maria Izabel Velazquez January 2004 (has links)
Trata-se de uma leitura crítica do romance On the Road, do escritor norte-americano Jack Kerouac, cujas vida e obra representam a insatisfação social e a manifestação artística de uma geração de poetas e novelistas denominada, nas décadas de 50 e 60, The Beat Generation ou The Beatniks. Esta leitura consiste em uma investigação para estabelecer relações entre a tríade autor-narrador-protagonista na narrativa proposta. Como apoio teórico temos o olhar do filósofo alemão Walter Benjamin. O enfoque escolhido contempla as reflexões de Benjamin sobre autoria, experiência e modernidade; mas, sobretudo, privilegia a sua concepção do flâneur; uma vez que o objetivo do trabalho é mostrar o movimento e o papel exercido pelo mesmo, tanto no corpus literário como na vida do autor Beatnik. Para tanto, esta dissertação está dividida em três partes. A primeira apresenta um breve histórico da situação dos Estados Unidos no pós-guerra, a fim de contextualizar e discutir a criação do movimento Beat como vanguarda artística daquela época. A segunda parte introduz o pensamento de Walter Benjamin acerca do flâneur. Destaca, também, fatos e momentos relevantes de sua vida e obra. Apresenta, ainda, o ponto de vista de Sérgio Rouanet sobre a obra do filósofo. O terceiro momento analisa o romance On the Road em conexão com os movimentos do flâneur e no âmbito da tradição de Literatura de Viagem, dando relevância às questões de autoria. Deste modo, na conclusão, espera-se legitimar o papel do flâneur no espaço narrativo e, também, histórico-social daquela geração. / This is a critical reading of On the Road, a novel by the North American writer Jack Kerouac, whose life and work represent the social dissatisfaction and the artistic manifestation of a generation of poets and novelists denominated, in the decades of 50 and 60, The Beat Generation, or The Beatniks. The work consists of an investigation to establish relationships among the triad author-narrator-protagonist in the proposed narrative. Supported by the theory of Walter Benjamin, the chosen theme contemplates the reflections of Benjamin about authorship, experience and modernity; but, above all, it privileges his conception of the flâneur; once the objective of the work is to show his movement and role in the literary corpus, as well as in the life of the Beatnik author. This thesis is divided in three parts. The first presents a brief historical comment on the situation of the United States in the postwar period, in order to contextualize and discuss the creation of the Beat Movement as an avantgardist manifestation. The second part introduces Kerouac and Benjamin, highlighting facts and important moments of their lives and work through the movements of the flâneur. The third moment analyzes On the Road in connection with Walter Benjamin's thoughts and in the extent of the tradition of Travel Literature, emphasizing the relevance of authorship. In the conclusion, I expect to legitimate the role of the flâneur in the narrative and socio-historical scope of that generation.

Poética beat no cinema: “Howl” e On the road / Beat poetics in film: "Howl" and On the Road

Our goal is to bring forth a dialogue established by these four objective elements, based on the analysis of the congress of their individual poetics, and, in light of this, to contribute to a process that appears to be contemporarily inescapable, the relations between cinema and literature. To this end, the following dissertation will consist of the study of regularities of behavior in the adaptation process presented in the corpus before us as a means of deducing and describing possible systemic norms that underlie and regulate the transpositions between the beat literary system and the contemporary cinematographic system. On the other hand, but not separately, as we understand adaptation as rounded semiotic systems, we must consider the contexts in which they are inserted and what relations they actualize within their arrival system, not only that but investigate possible analogies to the departure system, We hope to demonstrate that these different strands of the problem are intertwined and connected if we create a common filed of tension in which the art-works are able to sustain dialogue – this we endeavored to do with the stablishment of an organizing principle, the common theme of madness. Our goal is, ultimately, to try to equate the importance of the product of adaptation and its counterpart in our analysis, transforming the field of Translation Studies into something closer to Compared Studies – of Literature or Cinema, as if our objects of research were ontologically comparable entities. We base our endeavor to achieve this task in the works of Walter Benjamin (2012), Mikhail Bakhtin (2010), Itamar Even-Zohar (1990), Jacques Derrida (1995), Maurice Blanchot (1987), Michel Foucault (1989), Gideon Toury (1995), Patrick Catrysse (1992), amongst others. / Este trabalho constitui um estudo comparativo entre as produções literárias pinaculares da geração beat americana de meados do século XX (“Howl” de Allen Ginsberg e On the Road de Jack Kerouac) e as suas reescrituras fílmicas produzidas na primeira década do século XXI. Procuramos aqui trazer a diálogo as quatro obras e, fundamentando-nos em uma análise do congresso de suas poéticas, contribuir para o estudo de um processo que nos parece contemporaneamente inescapável, a relação entre cinema e literatura. Para tanto, a presente dissertação consistirá do estudo das regularidades de comportamento do processo tradutor apresentadas no corpus que nos é possível analisar de modo a deduzir e descrever as possíveis normas sistêmicas que subjazem e regulam as transposições entre o sistema literário beat e o sistema cinematográfico contemporâneo. Por outro lado, mas não separadamente, na medida em que enxergamos as adaptações como sistemas semióticos acabados, devemos considerar os contextos em que elas se inserem e que relações elas desenvolvem dentro do sistema de chegada, além de investigarmos possíveis analogias com os contextos e sistemas de partida. Esperamos demonstrar que estes lados do problema se interligam se criarmos um campo tenso comum em que as obras possam dialogar, o que buscamos fazer através do estabelecimento de um princípio organizador, o tema comum da loucura. Nossa proposta é, finalmente, tentar igualar a importância do produto da tradução e do elemento de partida em nossa análise, transformando o campo dos estudos da tradução em algo mais próximo dos Estudos Comparados – de Cinema ou Literatura, como se nossos objetos fossem seres ontologicamente equiparáveis. Pautamo-nos, para realizar esta tarefa, nos trabalhos de Walter Benjamin (2012), Mikhail Bakhtin (2010), Itamar Even-Zohar (1990), Jacques Derrida (1995), Maurice Blanchot (1987), Michel Foucault (1989), Gideon Toury (1995), Patrick Catrysse (1992), entre outros.
