Estudos teóricos sobre "mescla" ou "cruzamento de gêneros" vêm se desenvolvendo ao menos desde a proposição do conceito de "Kreuzung der Gattungen" por W. Kroll (Studien zum Verständnis der römischen Literatur, 1924). No entanto, estudiosos como A. Barchiesi ("The crossing", 2001) passam a questionar premissas do trabalho do filólogo alemão, que tomava a "miscigenação" como "decadência" da cultura literária helenística e romana. Em nossa pesquisa sobre as mesclas genéricas na comédia plautina, também nos afastamos da perspectiva de W. Kroll e não propomos, como ponto de partida, que as peças que abrigam outros gêneros resultem necessariamente em híbridos. Na verdade, preferimos uma abordagem como a de S. J. Harrison, que lida com a noção de "generic enrichment" (Generic enrichment in Vergil and Horace, 2007). A sistematização da presença de outros gêneros poéticos no corpus de Plauto selecionado (a peça Cativos, bem como passagens de Báquides, O cabo, O soldado fanfarrão, dentre outras) nos interessa no sentido de explorar o quanto a comédia é enriquecida precisamente por meio de elementos perceptíveis pelo público plautino como "alheios" a esse gênero. Assim, nosso método envolve a identificação de aspectos (temáticos e formais) sob os quais esses gêneros aparecem ou transparecem, bem como uma reflexão sobre a possibilidade de, a partir da observação das convenções poéticas com que ele brinca em seus textos, pensar em uma poética imanente em Plauto / Abstract: The presence of the tragic, the epic, and even the lyric genre in the work of the Roman comic poet Titus Maccius Plautus (c. 254 ¿ 184 BC) has been already noted in the field of classical studies. Among the various criteria used in the identification of those poetic genres there is not only direct mention of elements of the works pertaining to them, but also (thematic or formal) allusion to such elements. Theoretical studies about "genres miscellany" or "genres crossing" have been developed at least since the proposition of the concept of "Kreuzung der Gattungen" by W. Kroll (Studien zum Verständnis der römischen Literatur, 1924). However, scholars such as A. Barchiesi ("The crossing", 2001) now question premises from Kroll¿s work, which considered the "miscegenation" as a "decadence" on the Hellenistic and Roman literary cultures. The present research does not assume Kroll¿s perspective, i.e. it does not presuppose that the plays in which the presence of other genres is evinced are necessarily hybrids. Rather, it favors an approach like that of S. J. Harrison, which deals with the notion of "generic enrichment" (Generic enrichment in Vergil and Horace, 2007). While systematizing such a presence of different poetic genres in the selected Plautine corpus (the play Captiui, as well as passages from Bacchides, Miles gloriosus, Rudens, among others) this study intends to appreciate to what extent comedy is enriched precisely by the elements perceived by the plautine public as extraneous to this genre. The method is based on the identification of (thematic and formal) aspects under which such genres emerge as the play goes on. The observation of the poetic conventions with which the Roman dramatist plays in his texts may also provide a reflexion on an imanent poetics in Plautus / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutora em Linguística

Na esteira de pesquisas mais recentes sobre a fabula palliata, não se busca aqui de modo muito imediato um retrato ipsis litteris da mulher na sociedade grega ou romana antiga. Estudos modernos sobre gênero ("gender") apontam para a importância de se considerar a representação do feminino enquanto algo não determinado biologicamente, mas sim construído em suas relações (com o outro gênero, com o contexto) e reversível. A apreciação desses aspectos em Plauto ressalta os efeitos poéticos e dramáticos da construção do feminino no contexto do drama desse comediógrafo. Mais especificamente, serão analisadas em nosso estudo passagens de peças selecionadas (Aululária, Báquides, Cásina, Menecmos, O mercador e O soldado fanfarrão) sob dois modos de representar a relação entre os gêneros em Plauto: de um lado, a caracterização da mulher no quadro do casamento representado na palliata, e, de outro, o uso de imagens de animais para caracterizar o feminino ou masculino. Sob a ótica do casamento, apreciamos o tipo da uxor dotata, observando quer sua representação caricata, quer sutilezas de sua composição a cada comédia plautina avaliada. Além disso, nas peças selecionadas, evidencia-se um bestiário feminino, que se mostra, embora variado, coerente com aspectos que delineiam as mulheres (tanto matronas quanto meretrizes) em Plauto / Abstract: The present study has as its main focus the discourse by and about women in Plautus' comedies. In agreement with recent studies about fabula palliata, the goal is not an immediate portrait of women in Ancient Greek or Roman societies. Contemporary gender studies point to the importance of considering representations of the feminine as something that is not biologically determined, but constructed in its relations (with the other gender, with the context) and reversible. The appreciation of such aspects in Plautus highlights the poetic and dramatic effects in the construction of the feminine in the context of the playwright's drama. More specifically, passages of selected plays (Aulularia, Bacchides, Casina, Menaechmi, Mercator and Miles Gloriosus) will be analyzed in this study under two modes of the representation of the relation between genders in Plautus: on one hand, the characterization of women within the frame of marriage represented in the palliata; on the other hand, the use of images related to animals to characterize feminine or masculine. Under the point of view of marriage, the uxor dotata stock character-type is evaluated, observing both its representation as a caricature and the subtleties of composition in each Plautine comedy under scrutiny. Furthermore, within the selected plays, a feminine bestiary is put in evidence, which seems, albeit varied, coherent in the aspects through which it pictures women (both matrons and prostitutes) in Plautus / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutora em Linguística

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The present thesis deals with the impact of the ancient Greek farce on modem literature with specific reference to the play Kinkels innie Kabel (1971) by the contemporary Afrikaans author André P. Brink. This play is loosely based on Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, which in tum derives from Plautus' Menaechmi. Brink's play thus resonates with an entire European tradition. The relationship between the modem and the ancient farce is studied with reference to the concept of comedy. Comic effects, the difference between comedy and tragedy in respect of the handling of vital issues and the comic vision of the playwright are all taken into account. The analysis of the development of Athenian Old Comedy to the Roman Comedy refers to the contribution of Plautus and Terence to the continuation and revitalisation of Greek New Comedy. A comparison of these two playwrights reveals the characteristics of the farce and the difference between farce and comedy. The modem relevance of the farce is studied on the basis of Brink's text. For this purpose Plautus' original plot, the Shakespearian version and Brink's rendition are discussed and compared. On the basis of the similarities and differences in plot, caricaturisation, misidentifications, politics, fantasy, coincidence, irony, farcical violence, mechanical structure, temporal structure and linguistic register, the influence of the ancient farce on its modem counterpart is demonstrated. In addition to farce, Brink employs the classical devices of satire and parody to drive home his (political) message. Finally it is shown that the farcical in Plautus, Shakespeare and Brink serves a significant and serious thematic purpose. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie verhandeling handel oor die impak van 'n antieke Griekse komedievorm, die klug, op moderne werke en denke. A.P. Brink se verhoogstuk Kinkels innie Kabel (1971) is 'n vrye verwerking van William Shakespeare se The Comedy of Errors. Laasgenoemde werk is weer op sy beurt gebaseer op Plautus se Menaechmi. In sy verwerking van Plautus en Shakespeare laat A.P. Brink die hele Europese tradisie deurklink. Die verhouding tussen die moderne klug en die antieke klug word bestudeer deur te fokus op die term komedie: die verhouding daarvan met lag en hoe die komedie van die tragedie verskil ten opsigte van die hantering van lewensproblematiek en komiese visie van die komedieskrywer, maak deel uit van hierdie bespreking. Die komedie se herkoms en ontwikkeling vanaf die Ou Komedie tot die Romeinse Komedie, val ook onder die soeklig. In aansluiting hiermee word Plautus en Terentius bespreek as twee komedieskrywers wat 'n rol gespeel het in die oorlewering en verlewendiging van die Griekse Nuwe Komedie. Hierdie twee skrywers word ook met mekaar vergelyk sodat die eienskappe van die klug geïllustreer word, en hoe dit in wese verskil van komedie. Die relevansie van die klug in moderne denke word bestudeer aan die hand van Brink se teks. In hierdie verband word daar 'n uiteensetting gegee van die oorspronklike Plautiniese verhaal, die Shakespeariaanse weergawe en die Brinkiaanse teks. Aan die hand van die ooreenkomste en verskille in intrige, karikaturisering, identiteitsvergissings, politiek, die fantasie-element, toeval, ironie, klugtige geweld, die meganiese struktuur, die tydstruktuur en taalregister word die invloed van die antieke klug op die moderne klug geïllustreer. Benewens die klug word Brink se werk ook verder beïnvloed deur twee klassieke middele, met name satire en parodie. Hiermee bring Brink sy (politieke) boodskap tuis. Ten slotte word die dieperliggende temas in Plautus, Shakespeare en Brink se werk bespreek deur aan te toon dat die werk nie net om die klugtige gaan nie, maar ook die meer ernstige.
