O tema central desse estudo é a abordagem de cada uma das representações que o romancista fez: o senso de moralidade; a degradação do herói; deslocamentos (exílios), papel da mulher na sociedade e a representação da realidade. O levantamento desses níveis de realidade na obra foi pertinente, já que todas as representações indicam não apenas um retrato da sociedade aracajuense, mas também porque depreendem um momento histórico de uma sociedade em transformação econômica e cultural. E toda essa transformação é delineada na narrativa por meio da família Corumba, protagonistas do enredo, família que tem sua degradação familiar a partir do momento que se auto- exilaram na cidade de Aracaju em busca de um ascensão social, o que nunca aconteceu / It was made in this work a survey of the representations contained in the novel The Corumbas (1933), by Amando Fontes. The central theme of this study is to approach each of the representations that the novelist did: the sense of morality; the hero's degradation; displacements (exiles), women's role in society and the representation of reality. The survey of these levels of reality in this study was relevant, because all representations indicate not only a portrait of aracajuense society, but also because infer a historic moment of economic and cultural transformation of the society. And all this change is outlined in the narrative through the Corumba family, the protagonists of the plot, family that has its degradation from the moment that they exile themselves in the city of Aracaju looking for a social mobility, which never happened

Orientadora: Sandra Aparecida Ferreira / Banca: Edvaldo Aparecido Bergamo / Banca: Márcio Roberto Pereira / Resumo: O presente estudo analisa duas obras saramaguianas, a fim de confrontar o estilo presente nas mesmas, sendo elas Memorial do Convento (1982) e Todos os Nomes (1997). É feito um trabalho comparativo entre essas produções artísticas, por meio da atenção aos traços estruturais e estilísticos, procurando destacar semelhanças e diferenças. Cabe ressaltar que a pesquisa está embasada na Estilística, destacando-se os estudos ligados à Estilística Idealista, como os de Leo Spitzer e Dámaso Alonso. O objetivo desta dissertação é focalizar os recursos estruturais e estilísticos empregados na composição textual de categorias como foco narrativo, espaço, tempo, personagens e figuras de linguagem das obras mencionadas. A partir das análises realizadas, são verificados quais torneios Saramago empregou naqueles romances e o efeito produzido, enfatizando-se, por meio da comparação, os traços estilísticos presentes, com vistas a sondar como ocorre a ressimplificação de seu estilo ao longo dos anos, sugerida nos estudos críticos de Ana Paula Arnaut / Abstract: The present essay analyses two Saramago's literary work, in order to confront the style presented in both, Memorial do Convento (1982) and Todos os Nomes (1997). It is done a comparative essay between these two artistic productions, through the attention of structural and stylistic traits, trying to stand out similarities and differences. It is important to highlight that the research is based on Stylistics, emphasizing the studies linked to Idealistic Stylistics, like the ones from Leo Spitzer and Dámaso Alonso. The aim of this dissertation is to focus the structural and stylistic resources used in textual composition of categories like narrative mode, place, time, characters and figures of speech from the books mentioned. From the carried out analyses, are verified which resources Saramago used in those romances and the effect produced, emphasizing through the comparison, the stylistic traits, with views to evaluate how it occurs the re-simplification in his style throughout the years, suggested in the critical studies of Ana Paula Arnaut / Mestre

É por meio da relação do indivíduo com o tempo que ele constrói a memória, possibilitando a preservação da sua identidade e a constituição da sabedoria. No romance Grande sertão: veredas de Guimarães Rosa, essa experiência temporal humana é-nos apresentada e veiculada por meio da rememoração do protagonista. No livro, verifica-se que a relação entre memória e tempo é indispensável para a construção da identidade da personagem que relata e para o desenrolar da narrativa. A viagem ao passado realizada por Riobaldo constitui a tentativa de encontrar a si mesmo por meio do que decorreu e ela apenas se torna possível com o uso da memória. O trabalho desenvolvido tem como objetivo examinar como ocorre a relação entre tempo e memória em Grande sertão: veredas e qual a sua importância para a narrativa, para o processo de reconstrução do vivido e para a constituição da identidade do narrador-protagonista, Riobaldo. Para alcançar tais objetivos, a metodologia adotada baseou-se no levantamento, na seleção, na leitura e no fichamento de dois tipos de textos: a obra de Guimarães Rosa, em especial o romance escolhido, e estudos que compõem o embasamento teórico da pesquisa, agrupados em três dimensões: a) ensaios críticos sobre a obra rosiana em geral e sobre o tema em pauta; b) proposições sobre as categorias narrativas, especialmente sobre o tempo; c) proposições filosóficas e/ou psicológicas sobre a memória e o tempo / Memory relies directly on time for its constitution and time relies on memory for its permanency. It is through the relationship between the individual and time that the first builds memory, enabling his identity preservation and the wisdom constitution. In the novel Grande sertão: veredas by Guimarães Rosa, this human and temporal experience is presented and transmitted through the main character’s process of recalling. In the book, the relation between memory and time is pivotal for the character’s identity construction and for the narrative’s development. The voyage to the past accomplished by Riobaldo constitutes the search to find his really self through the occurred facts and this trip is only possible due to the use of memory. The current research aims at examining how this relation between time and memory takes place in Grande sertão: veredas and what its importance for the narrative, for the reconstruction process of the occurred facts and for the main character’s and narrator’s identity constitution, Riobaldo. In order to reach these goals, the adopted methodology was based on the research, selection, reading and writing of two kinds of texts: Guimarães Rosa’s works, especially the chosen novel, and the studies based on the theoretical framework of this research, clustered in three dimensions: a) critical essays about Rosa’s works in general and about the specified topic; b) approaches about the narrative categories, especially about the time; c) philosophical and/or psychological approaches about memory and time

This dissertation discusses and analyses Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin's conscious strategy of self-fashioning and reinvention, which is realised in his life and supported by the theoretical constructs contained in his Collected Works. It addresses the ambiguities and uncertainties in Bakhtin's life and work and uses two aspects of his philosophical approach and constructs to explicate these inconsistencies: his theory of identity and his theory of language. The analytical tools used to arrive at this conclusion include the notion of reflexivity (using Bakhtin's own theoretical constructs to analyse incidents in his life, and in turn, using those incidents to illustrate the concepts he developed). Theoretical support for Bakhtin's self-fashioning is provided by Fitzpatrick's theory of reinvention through impersonation and imposture in Revolutionary Russia. Bakhtin's theory of identity (expressed in his Nietzsche-influenced concept of the mask and its associated concept of travesty) supports this reinvention. Bakhtin's notion of double-voicedness, supported by his linguistic theories of interdiscursivity, heteroglossia and the utterance reinforce these two lines of thought. Bakhtin's two figures of speech: the word with a 'backward glance' and the word with a 'loophole' encapsulate this convergence of theory and life. These two constructs are brought into sharp relief when illuminated by Wittgenstein's theory of language-games, Austin's concept of performativity and Benveniste's formulation of deixis. The overarching metaphor for this dissertation is the Classical Greek concept of metis, or 'cunning intelligence', a concept that is instantiated in the way in which Bakhtin framed the narrative of his life and the manner in which he performed his work. The dissertation concludes that Bakhtin evolved a multi-threaded philosophy which was self-consistent in the way in which it addressed the creation of identity, the expression of language and the performance of life and work through the metaphor of metis.

The present work deals with the literary-theoretical work of the Petrograd Formalists - those who participated in the OPOiaZ in the 1910s and early 1920s - with a focus on that oflurii Tynianov. It attempts to unpack the representation of their literary-theoretical work as 'science' [nauka] by exploring how that category was constructed in dialogue with their evolving conception of literature. It is argued in the first chapter that, for the duration of their project, they conceptualized the 'language of nauka' - and their own prose by association - in accordance with the laws of their theory of language. It is argued in the second chapter that, as the Formalists developed a theory of literary history as an endless succession of 'revolutions' in the period 1919- 24, they tried to make their theorization of that process take a correspondingly revolutionary form, one in which the sciences of nature and those of history would become one. It is argued in the third chapter that, as the Formalists came to theorize the connection between literature and life in the period 1924-30, they practised a new 'type' of nauka in the form of the authorial collection of articles, one in which their own work was historicized in a 'literary' manner. It is concluded that, for the OPOiaZ, nauka came into being as a function of its object: as the Formalists transformed their conception of literature, their realization of nauka was correspondingly transformed. The conclusion then problematizes the categorization of Formalism as a purely 'scientific', extra-'literary' movement, since emphasis is placed on their authorship of that categorization, and raises broader questions about the origin of modem 'literary theory'.

This study constitutes a single strand of a wider argument for a thorough-going reassessment of the place of fantasy literature within the canon. In particular, it aims to redress a marked lack of critical attention paid to the distinct movement towards fantastic modes of representation in the mid-twentieth century.

This dissertation comprises a historical survey and thematic analysis of the various regional and temporal expressions of Chinese and Taiwanese xiangtu wenxue (“nativism” or “homeland literature”). Chapter One traces Chinese xiangtu wenxue from the rural stories of Lu Xun through the 1920s generation of writers of xiangtu wenxue (xiangtu zuojia f’g). These writers used two different narrative modes to analyze China’s deepening rural crisis. One of these was the antitraditionalist mode inspired by Lu Xun; the other was a positivist mode formulated from new concepts and intellectual thought prevalent in China at the time of May Fourth (1919). The narrative configuration established by this decade of xiangtu writers is characterized by nostalgia and is based on the migration of the Chinese village intellectual to large urban centres. This configuration set the standard for subsequent generations of writers of xiangtu wenxue who used an urban narrator to describe a rural area which was either the author’s native home, an area he/she knew well or one which was idealized. Chapters Two and Five discuss Taiwanese xiangtu wenxue from the 1920s to the 1970s. The emergence of this fiction is linked with Taiwan’s insecure status in the forum of international relations. In Taiwanese xiangtu wenxue, the countryside is a refuge from the forces of modernization; it is also a storehouse nurturing ancient traditions which are threatened by new and modern ways. Taiwan’s xiangtu writers valorize traditional culture and seek in rural Taiwan a transcendent China predating Taiwan’s invasion by the West. These works are all narrated by an urban narrator who rejects modernity and desires to counteract foreign influences. The focus of Chapter Three is China’s rural regional xiangtu wenxue of the 1930s. In this decade, rural fiction became a general trend in China with the rise of the Chinese Communist Party, Japanese aggression and China’s increasing urbanization. The shift away from China’s urban-based fiction is characterized by an increasing concern for the peasants, regional decay under the onslaught of Westernization and the life, customs and lore of China’s hinterland. In many of these regional works, concern for the nation is interwoven with non-nationalistic interests. Chinese xiangtu wenxue of the 1940s and 1950s is discussed in Chapter Four. The xiangtu wenxue of this period took on a distinctly Communist guise in the wake of Mao Zedong’s 1942 Talks at the Yan’an Forum on Literature and Art. Chinese Communist xiangtu wenxue is primarily defined as revolutionary realism and is concerned with the construction of Chinese socialism which takes place in the countryside through the forced implementation of draconian Party policies. The peasants in this fiction often attempt to evade these policies. Occasionally, these stories and novels slip into a hardcore realistic mode conveying a peasant reality which strongly dissents from the orthodox Party view. At least one writer of this period was persecuted and killed for his putatively disloyal beliefs. Finally, with the passing of Maoism in China, a new form of xiangtu wenxue emerged in the mid-1980s. This is the subject of Chapter Six. In these works, traditional Chinese culture supercedes Maoism as the basic fabric unifying Chinese life. Many of the writers in this period evince a psychological bifurcation arising from their conflicting views about the value of traditional Chinese culture. This bifurcation stems from the narrator in this fiction who is caught up in the process of urbanization and is unable to fully integrate his vision of the countryside into a larger vision of modernity. The ambivalence about Chinese culture in xiangtu wenxue is a leitmotif which underlies xiangtu wenxue’s many, disparate forms. / Arts, Faculty of / Asian Studies, Department of / Graduate

In modern times German authors have made ample use of the Job-theme. The study examines the transformations that the story of Job has undergone in German narrative and dramatic works from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's Der neue Hiob (1878) to Fritz Zorn's Mars (1977). The most striking feature of these works lies in their diverse characterization of the Job-figure. As a mythical figure he remains synonymous with the sufferer, but he may be characterized as patient or impatient, humble or arrogant, innocent or guilty, rich or poor, courageous or cowardly; he may be a Jew or a Christian, a Nazi or an anti-Nazi, a believer or an agnostic. The authors have retained most of the characters included in the Old Testament story. The Job-figure usually has a wife (who doubts and despises God), a number of children (who die in an impending disaster), and several friends (who accuse him of wrong-doing). Concerning the plot, most writers have excluded any prologue in heaven. The suffering of the Job-figure (usually brought on by the loss of loved ones, by physical pain and by mental agony) is always central to the story. More often than not, however, the modern Job-figure exhibits a form of impatience and impiety once misfortune has struck. A theophany (literal confrontation with God) does not occur, but a divine agent may be provided in the form of a dream or a vision, or indirectly by nature. An epilogue (the restoration of Job's health, possessions and children) is usually omitted, but some authors imply a renewal of Job, so as to suggest a purpose for and a hope after his arduous trials. / Arts, Faculty of / Central Eastern Northern European Studies, Department of / Graduate
