Com o propósito de entender o fenômeno da circulação de suas obras entre o público leitor daquela época, apresentaremos os dados relativos ao fluxo dos livros, utilizando, como fontes primárias, os catálogos de livrarias e os periódicos de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro, e também os catálogos de bibliotecas e gabinetes de leitura da Corte Imperial. Faremos uma reflexão sobre a recepção crítica das obras de Cooper a partir de resenhas que acompanham os anúncios de venda de livros e de textos críticos que, naquela época, citam a obra do escritor de maneira comparada a obra de José de Alencar. Consideramos que foi possível compreender como se deu a circulação e recepção crítica de Cooper, além de entender, com mais detalhes, aspectos sobre o gosto pela leitura de seus romances no século XIX / Abstract: This work aims to map and analyze both circulation and critical reception of James Fenimore Cooper's novels in Brazil in the 19th century, especially considering the movement of books in Rio de Janeiro, extending to São Paulo. In order to understand the phenomenon of the circulation of his works among the readership of that time, we will present data related to the flow of books and feuilletons, using, as primary sources, catalogs of bookstores and periodicals from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as the catalogs of libraries and reading rooms of the Imperial Court. We will reflect on the critical reception of Cooper's works based on reviews that where attached to the book sale advertisements, as well as on the critical texts that, at that time, cite the work of the writer in a way compared to the work of José de Alencar. We considered that it was possible to understand how Cooper's circulation and critical reception occurred, in addition to understanding, in more detail, aspects about the taste for reading of his novels in the 19th century / Mestre

Orientador: Flávia Cristina de Sousa Nascimento Falleiros / Banca: Karina Chianca Venâncio / Banca: Márcio Thamos / Resumo: Denis Diderot, autor de uma obra vasta e multifacetada, é tido como uma personalidade muito importante para as ciências humanas. La Promenade Vernet, trecho integrante do Salão de 1767, reflete bem a complexidade da obra do filósofo como um todo, pois é nele em que se observam traços de diferentes gêneros como ficção, ensaio e crítica. Esse curto texto é um "passeio" em que Diderot descreve com maestria uma série de sete "sítios", com o pretexto de discutir diversas questões de natureza filosófica e estética. O que o leitor não sabe - e só vem a saber no final - é que as descrições dos elementos das paisagens não fazem referência a sete campanhas, mas sim a sete quadros de um famoso paisagista francês, Joseph Vernet. No "Passeio", Diderot e o Abade, seu interlocutor e personagem fictício, discutem, dialogicamente, em longas jornadas, sobre suas convicções quanto à arte, ao lugar do homem no mundo e a questões morais. Esta pesquisa visa colocar em foco os dispositivos retóricos utilizados pelo autor, especialmente a ekphrasis e o hieróglifo, ambos associados, direta ou indiretamente, à relação entre o verbal e o imagético (ut pictura poesis). Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, são utilizados autores de variadas épocas, como Horácio (18 a.C.), que cunhou o termo ut pictura poesis; Lessing (1768), que foi determinante para o desenvolvimento da retórica; e Lichtenstein (1994), cuja obra traça um percurso aprofundado da história da retórica pictórica e na qual esta dissertação se apoia com certo destaque. No texto de Diderot, nota-se significativa importância de referências clássicas, portanto, alguns artigos que esclarecem a obra de Diderot por esse olhar também foram elencados para a constituição da pesquisa. Além desse aparato teórico, recorre-se a alguns textos da obra de Diderot que não são especificamente o Salão... / Abstract: Denis Diderot, the author of a vast and multidimensional work, is a renowned personality to the Human Sciences. Promenade Vernet, an integral part of the 1767 Salon, reflects the complexity of the work of the philosopher in its entirety as we can observe some traces of genres such as fiction, essay, and criticism. The short text is a "walk" in which Diderot masterfully describes a series of seven "sites" under the pretext of questioning various subjects of a philosophical and aesthetic nature. What the reader does not have access to - and only learns at the end - is that descriptions of landscape elements do not refer to seven campaigns, but to seven paintings by the famous French landscape artist, Joseph Vernet. During the "Walk", Diderot and the abbé, his interlocutor and fictitious character, discuss dramatically, in long journeys, the beliefs about art, the position of man in the world and morality. This research aims to highlight the rhetorical devices used by the author, especially ekphrasis and hieroglyph, both associated, directly or indirectly, with the relationship between verbal and imagery (ut pictura poesis). For the development of the research, authors from different periods are used, such as Horace (18 b.C.), who coined the term ut pictura poesis; Lessing (1768), which was fundamental to the development of rhetoric; and Lichtenstein (1994), whose work traces an in-depth journey into the history of rhetoric of figures and on which this memoir is based with a ... / Resumé: Denis Diderot, auteur d'une œuvre vaste et pluridimensionnelle, est une personnalité très reconnue et importante aux Sciences Humaines. La Promenade Vernet, partie intégrante du Salon de 1767, reflète bien la complexité de l'œuvre du philosophe dans son intégralité car on peut observer des traits caractéristiques à plusieurs genres de texte tel que la fiction, l'essai et la critique. Le court texte est une « promenade » dans laquelle Diderot décrit avec maîtrise une série de sept « sites » sous prétexte de mettre en cause diverses sujets de nature philosophique et esthétique. Ce que le lecteur n'a pas d'accès - et arrive à apprendre seulement à la fin - est au fait que les descriptions des éléments des paysages ne font pas référence à sept campagnes, mais à sept tableaux d'un célèbre paysagiste français, Joseph Vernet. Pendant la « Promenade », Diderot et l'abbé, son interlocuteur et personnage fictif, débattent, dramatiquement, en longues journées, les convictions quant à l'art, à la position de l'homme dans le monde et aux mœurs. Cette recherche vise mettre en évidence les dispositifs rhétoriques utilisés par l'auteur, spécialement l'ekphrasis et le hiéroglyphe, tous les deux associés, directe ou indirectement, au rapport entre le verbal et l'imagerie (ut pictura poesis). Pour le développement de la recherche, des auteurs des époques variés sont utilisés, tel que Horace (18 a.C.), qui a inventé le terme ut pictura poesis ; Lessing (1768), qui a été fondamental au développement de la rhétorique ; et Lichtenstein (1994), dont l'œuvre trace un parcours approfondi de l'histoire de la rhétorique visuelle et sur laquelle ce mémoire se base avec un certain accent. Dans le texte de Diderot, on remarque une importance significative de références classiques, ainsi, des articles qui éclairent-ils l'œuvre de Diderot par ... / Mestre

This thesis maps a marriage of postcolonial theory and folklore studies. The progeny of this marriage is an analytic tool which can suitably and effectively tackle the subject of written folktale texts, whether they be part of a nineteenth century colonialist discourse, or a twenty-first century nationalist discourse. First, GM Theal's collection of folktale texts, Kaffir Folklore (1882), is analysed as part of his specific colonialist discourse. Theal formulated for himself, and for the Xhosa peoples, identities which consolidated the colonialisms he supported. I argue that these folktale texts, although a part of Theal's colonialist discourse, are hybrid, containing the voices of both coloniser and colonised. Second, the position of contemporary written folktales in a neo-colonialist and >new nationalist discourse=, is examined. The optimistic belief of scholars and authors, that folktales are a means of bridging cultural gaps, is questioned. Finally, it is shown that authors of folktale texts can synthesise diverse literary traditions in a hybrid artform. This synthesis, to some extent, embodies the >new nationalist= aim of a unified national cultural identity in South Africa. The central value of recognising the role of folktale texts in colonialist and nationalist discourses lies in the awareness that this type of literary activity in South Africa is a cross-cultural practice. The confluence of voices which constitutes these folktale texts, reveals that our stories are intertwined. In the past, the discourses of colonialism and apartheid controlled the formation of the diverse and hierarchised cultural identities of South Africa. But this is not to say that alternative stories of self-fashioning and cultural self-determination did not exist. In the folktale texts of writers such as Mhlope, Jordan, and even in Theal's colonial collection, different mediums, literary heritages and styles converge to create narratives which speak of cross-cultural interaction and the empowerment of the black voice. In post-apartheid South Africa, there is even greater opportunity to reshape stories, to recreate selves, and to redefine intercultural relations. This thesis has outlined how some of those stories, which use folktale texts as their central trope, are constructed and commodified. Not only do these reinvented folktale texts embody the heterogeneous cultural influences of South Africa, they also have the potential to promote, first, the understanding of cultural differences, and second, the acceptance of the notion of cultural hybridity in our society.

The argument of the thesis is that the literary forms of Thomas Merton's prose writings embody theological claims he makes elsewhere at the level of content. Specifically, the five chapters of the thesis show that Merton not only writes about the themes of self-denial, simplification, observing the 'thereness' of the world, and (in two distinct ways) apprehending God in darkness and obscurity, but that he also enacts those themes in the way he writes prose. The thesis offers an original and significant contribution to three main fields of enquiry. Firstly, when analysing Merton's prose I employ methods espoused by New Formalist literary critics, but I apply their reading strategies to the theological dimensions of literary form. Secondly, my work builds upon claims made by theologians of form about the link between literary genres or forms and issues surrounding, for instance, the character of God, but it does so in a novel way, by employing New Formalist close reading strategies. Thirdly, the thesis offers a new method of enquiry for Thomas Merton Studies, by performing the first extended literary-critical account of his prose. In sum, the thesis opens up new theoretical territory for Formalism, new specific material for the theology of form, and a new methodology for Merton Studies. Besides the introductory and concluding chapters, all of the chapters of the thesis are structured in the same way. Each includes an expositional section in which I quote from Merton's thoughts on, for example, self-denial, and a literary-critical section, in which I read the forms of Merton's prose in terms of the content-claims already outlined. The goal of this methodology is, at every stage, to show that Merton enacts his own theologically-rooted content claims in the forms of his prose.

Chamamos de bagatelização a maneira como o escritor juntou os textos do livro Bagatelas, publicado em 1923, modelo que plasmou as edições póstumas organizadas por Francisco de Assis Barbosa. Analisamos o processo de bagatelização da literatura de Lima Barreto por dois vieses: a) o desenvolvido por Lima Barreto, resultado da veia satírica do escritor; e b) a bagatelização realizada por Francisco de Assis Barbosa, motivada pelas exigências inerentes do mercado editorial. Assim, há pelos quatro capítulos que compõem a tese o fio condutor da discussão do processo bagatelizador da obra de Lima Barreto, embasado pela descrição da evolução do mercado editorial brasileiro. No primeiro capítulo, tomamos o espaço temporal de 1909 a 1923, momento da constituição do legado editorial do escritor, com sete obras publicadas. O segundo capítulo compreende o intervalo temporal de 1923 a 1956, quando o legado editorial do escritor é, por um lado, mantido pelas editoras, e por outro sofre alterações e ampliações, atingindo um total de dez volumes. O terceiro capítulo tem por objetivo exclusivo a tentativa de se oferecer ao mercado as obras completas de Lima Barreto, executada por Francisco de Assis Barbosa, com o legado editorial limabarretiano atingindo o total de dezessete volumes...

We call bagattelization the way the writer joined the texts of Bagatelas, published in 1923, a model that has shaped the posthumous editions organized by Francisco de Assis Barbosa reflected in the publications of other publishers,subsequent to their work. We examine the process of bagatellization of Lima Barreto literature by two biases: a) developed by Lima Barreto, a result of the satirical vein of thewriter; and b) the bagatellization performed by Francisco de Assis Barbosa, resulted by the demands inherent in the publishing market, described in its main trends throughout its evolution until almost our time. The conducting wire of the thesis summarized the discussion of bagatellement's process of Lima Barreto work was distributed by four chapters. At first, we'll approach the time interval between 1909-1923, when the editorial writer's legacy constitute oneself, composed by the publication of seven works. The second comprehends the interval 1923-1956, when the editorial writer's legacy is on the one hand, maintained by publishers, and on the other, undergoes changes and expansions, reaching production of the writer a total of ten volumes.The third has the exclusive purpose of trying to treat Francisco de Assis Barbosa to offer in 1956...

O presente trabalho constitui um estudo sobre um conjunto de obras pertencentes ao gênero japonês de cunho autobiográfico denominado Romance do Eu, com o intuito de traçar características comuns a essas obras que sirvam como apontamentos para uma morfologia desse gênero surgido no início do século XX. Num primeiro momento, situamos o Romance do Eu no contexto histórico-literário do Japão e apresentamos as discussões de estudiosos japoneses na fase inicial de desenvolvimento dessa forma literária, além da visão de dois estudiosos estrangeiros sobre o gênero. Nesse percurso, traçamos ligações entre as obras estudadas com a repressão ideológica e o exercício da liberdade de expressão na postura acuada e resignada dos protagonistas, encontradas num conjunto de obras analisadas num segundo momento, que vão desde 1906, com a obra Futon (Acolchoado), de Tayama Katai, até o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Tais obras revelaram uma sensível e rica diversidade quando analisadas pelos elementos da narrativa que estruturam o texto, mas não foi possível encontrar textualmente aspectos que identificassem o protagonista da obra com seu autor. Na realidade, elas se mostraram uma forma velada de contestação ao sistema autoritário do Japão ao centrarem seu conteúdo em fatos da vida pessoal do autor e parodiarem os romances europeus introduzidos na época. Esse dialogismo do Romance do Eu desenvolve-se também no nível textual da obra de Dazai Osamu, intitulada Pôr-do-Sol, escrita em 1947, logo após a rendição do Japão e ainda sob a ocupação das tropas norte-americanas, incumbidas de iniciar a democratização do país. O estudo desenvolvido nesse terceiro momento mostra que o autor utiliza, ainda, outras formas literárias que privilegiaram a ficção na literatura japonesa, elabora personagens que são desdobramentos de si mesmo e que dialogam entre si e faz uso de diferentes formas narrativas, que se mesclam à intertextualidade de obras japonesas e ocidentais, criando, assim, uma obra que dispensa o rótulo de Romance do Eu e assegura a sobrevivência dessa forma narrativa na prosa moderna do Japão. / ABSTRACT From Katai to Dazai: Notes for Morphology of the Novel of the Self consists of a study on a set of literary works belonging to the autobiographical character Japanese genre denominated Novel of the Self, aiming at outlining common characteristics to these works that serve as notes for a morphology of this genre started in the beginning of the XX century. In a first instance the Novel of the Self is placed in the Japanese historical-literary context and the discussions of Japanese scholars in the initial development phase of this literary form are presented, as well as the vision of two foreign scholars about the genre. In this trajectory are outlined connections of the works studied with the ideological repression and the exercise of the freedom of expression in the cornered and acquiescent posture of protagonists, being these connections found in a set of works analyzed in a second instance, comprehending 1906 with the work of Futon (Quilt) by Tayama Katai, up to the end of the Second World War. Such works have revealed an insightful and rich diversity when analyzed by the elements of the narrative which structure the text, but aspects that could identify the work?s protagonist with its author have not been possible to find textually. As a matter of fact, they have revealed a veiled way of contest to the Japan?s authoritative way as they have focused their content on facts of the author?s personal life and parodied the European novels introduced at that time. This dialogism in the Novel of the Self is also developed on the textual level of the work of Dazai Osamu entitled Sunset, written in 1947, right after the surrender of Japan while under the occupation of the American troops charged with the task of beginning the country?s democratization. The study developed in this third instance reveals that the author uses, in addition, other literary forms that benefit the fiction in the Japanese literature, makes up characters that are developments of himself and that also talk among themselves, and makes use of different forms of narratives that merge to the intertextuality of Japanese and Western works, creating, as a result, a work that excuses the label of Novel of the Self and, assures the endurance of this narrative form in the Japans modern prose.

D.Litt. et Phil. / The demolition of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the unification of the two Germanies less than a year later led to a search for a new national identity - a process in which German history was reconsidered. This initiated a number of debates about how the German past, especially the atrocities that had been committed during the fascist era, should be remembered. There was a strong tendency to downplay guilt and to consider this chapter of German history closed. Eventually, however, the opposite tendency gained prominence in public discourse. Particularly around 1995, the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II, and in subsequent years German society appears to be more interested in history than before. This thesis examines the role that novels and short stories, which were published in Germany during the nineties, played in the process of re-evaluating the German past. Taking into account that the telling of stories is a crucial element of remembrance, authors of fictional works that deal with the past, in whatever way, contribute to the collective memory of a nation. The seven chapters of this thesis examine different aspects of redefining the past. Attacks on authors like Christa Wolf and Giinter Grass and other intellectuals, especially by the conservative media, demonstrated that traditional perspectives were reconsidered. The ensuing debate, and how authors responded in their works, is examined in the first two chapters. The third chapter traces the effects that unification had particularly for those who had lived in the GDR and who were now struggling to reposition themselves in the historic process. The novels analysed reveal that unification affected West Germans to a much lesser extent. The following three chapters deal with the huge impact that a guilt-ridden past had and still has on the lives of Germans. A number of novels show that family life was severely affected by the historical burden which older generations were carrying, and that the silence which surrounded this burden was an irritating factor for younger generations. Authors of all ages try to come to terms with this issue in various ways, especially in autobiographical works. One dominant insight arises from most of the texts: the German language is often regarded as contaminated, and German daily life - in both the GDR and the FRG - was strongly influenced by the lack of communication between the generations. In this context those works that deal with the relationship between Jews and others are of particular interest. The final chapter discusses works published in 1997 and 1998

M.A. / The aim of this study is to endeavour to analyse the language and style in M.T. Mmileng's novels. The study will focus on how the writer uses language to convey his thoughts, emotions and feelings communicable. The first chapter of this study takes the form of an introduction, providing the background, aims and the scope of the study. Chapter two develops the framework of stylistics which forms the foundation of our analysis. In chapter three an analysis of Mmileng's prose fiction will be undertaken. The choice of words, sentences and paragraphs will be analysed. Chapter four looks at how Mmileng has used imagery, proverbs and idioms in his texts. Chapter five looks back on what we have dealt with in the first four chapters and gives concluding statements.
