O presente estudo teve como intuito o rastreamento desta transformação cultural, especialmente no que se refere ao universo da leitura, ocorrida nos arredores dos anos 70 do século XIX. Tendo os jornais mato-grossenses daquela época como ponto de partida, foi constatada a presença de notícias sobre a existência de uma rede de associações culturais ligadas ao teatro e à literatura/leitura, de informações sobre a comercialização de livros em livrarias e sobre a atuação de casas-editoras nacionais e estrangeiras do Rio de Janeiro presentes em Mato Grosso. Foram encontrados também vários textos sobre teoria e crítica literárias, com especial atenção para duas obras de Visconde de Taunay: Inocência e Histórias brasileiras. A análise do material levantado resultou na escrita de parte relevante da história da leitura em Mato Grosso na segunda metade do século XIX / Abstract: The Mato Grosso, since 1870, has started a cycle of big changes in politics, economics, social and cultural areas, especially due to the opening of navigation through the Paraguay River, with direct connection with the Plate Republics and the coast of Brazil. The aim of this study is to find the register of these cultural modifications, especially about the reading universe, which has happened around 1870. It has been checked, based on ¿mato ¿grossenses¿ newspapers from that period of time, news about the existence of cultural associations connected to the theater and to literature/reading, as well as information about commercialization of books, at bookstores, and the action of Brazilian and foreigner publisher houses from Rio de Janeiro in Mato Grosso. Several texts about literary theory and criticism, especially Taunay¿s two books, Inocência and Histórias brasileiras, have been found. The analysis of this material resulted in the presentation of part of reading history in Mato Grosso, of the second part of the XIX century / Doutorado / Historia e Historiografia Literaria / Doutor em Teoria e História Literária

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os contos do livro Laços de Família, de Clarice Lispector, partindo de um estudo da linguagem, nos textos, e de um olhar sobre o elemento melancólico, fator constitutivo das personagens. A partir deste levantamento, propomos uma análise através da sociologia da literatura, tendo como fundamentação teórica inicial textos de Theodor Adorno e Walter Benjamin, utilizando a riqueza do objeto para estudar a sociedade brasileira dos anos 1950-60. Através da obra de Lispector, surgem elementos fundamentais da sociedade, negligenciados pelo discurso hegemônico e pelos registros de historicidade mais convencionais, como o preconceito de raça e gênero, a submissão do país a ditames estrangeiros e as profundas desigualdades sociais que caracterizam o Brasil. / The present study intends to analyze the short stories from the book Family Ties (Laços de Família), by Clarice Lispector, starting with a language analysis, in the texts, and a general view over the melancholic element, that is an important aspect of the characters construction. After that, an analysis based on literature sociology, including texts by Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin, to develop the argumentation, is performed, considering the richness of the studied object, to read Brazilian society in 1950-60. Throught Lispector\'s work, some fundamental social aspects, that had been neglected by hegemonic speech come forth, elements not considered by conventional historical reports, as gender and race prejudice, submission to foreign political influences and the deep social disparities that characterizes the country.

Currently, in the period of Poststructualism literature is widely approached as a cultural and social phenomenon and the aims of literary studies as the illuminating of social codes, ideology etc. embedded in literature. This study evaluates the contribution of specific critics working within the so-called "New paradigm". The concept "New paradigm" is used as an umbrella term covering a number of distinct developments, referring to literature as a system of literary "actions" rather than as a canon of books. In recent years several Afrikaans critics have embraced or adapted current theories in the domains of Deconstruction, Ideology Criticism, Literary, Sociology, Recepticm Aesthetics, Semiotics and Feminism. This study explores and evaluates the application of such theoretical paradigms to their work in the field of practical criticism. This study also explores the relationship between current theories of literature and their antecedents. The notion of current literary theory and practice not only as a broadening of scope and content of the notion of the "literary" but on the other hand as a liberation of theory and practice from an over-deterministic thrust (i.e. the approach of literature as no more than a set of social documents) is also evaluated in this study. A twofold aim of this study can thus be defined: a. to determine the extent to which the shift from the "old" to "new" theories was made necessary by the developing literary and social scene; b. to examine the links beween theory and practice in the work of specific, key figures in Afrikaans. Is it possible for theory and practice to be separated? Is there an important consistence in the relationship between the two in the work of the figures chosen?

The scope of our examination of the ideas and beliefs of the Qumran sect and the Church of the New Testament is limited to what contributes to our understanding of the nature of the respective communities. No attempt is made to present a full theological examination of the concepts which arise. The aim is not an exhaustive treatment, but rather to suggest areas where the beliefs of the communities throw light on each other. Our method is to begin by establishing the beliefs of the Qumran sect in each case, with particular reference to the Manual of Discipline, and then comparing this with the corresponding concept in the New Testament. This avoids the danger of reading back later Christian ideas into our treatment of the Scrolls. In our examination of the New Testament texts, we shall not assume that they constitute a unity nor that they can be taken at face value, but that they bear the marks of the interests of the early Church and of the conflicting tendencies and practices which marked its development. Consequently the tools of Form, Source and Redaction Criticism are utilized where they can contribute to our purpose. Chapter 1, p. vi.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine those works of Maurice Constantin-Weyer and of Georges Bugnet set in the Canadian West. Because both writers were fascinated by the exotic challenge of the western wilderness, it seems appropriate to apply to their works the myth of Antaeus, this giant representing, in his apparent invulnerability, the primeval forest and, by extension, the aborigine who inhabits it; the intruder who learns to master them both is therefore Hercules. The main theme of the novels is thus seen as one of struggle. Historically, we are also concerned with delimiting the Canadian West and explaining the rise of the Metis, a people whose very existence created problems which both authors set out to interpret. Constantin-Weyer’s avowed purpose in the Epopée canadienne is to paint a vast fresco of the Canadian West. The works of the series falls into two categories: novels allegedly based on history and novels of adventure, his essays being classified with the latter. In the first chapter his two historical novels are examined and evaluated. Vers l'Ouest meets with Walter Scott's standards for the historical novel, but it might also be classified as a roman de moeurs because of the predominance of exotic -description. La Bourrasque, on the other hand, is an anomaly in the ensemble of the Epopée canadienne. Louis Riel, its chief protagonist, had been dead only thirty-nine years when the book was published, yet Constantin-Weyer did not hesitate to present the participants in the Rebellion in an outrageous and shocking fashion, naming them by name. Hence, chapter two is devoted to an investigation of the problem of the author's misanthropy. In the light of historical scrutiny, the outrageous portraits are indeed found to be defamatory. Moreover, the novel often twists or suppresses the facts for sensational effect -- a clear violation of the basic rule governing the historical novel. Nor can the work be justified as a roman de moeurs, since descriptive passages and local color are almost totally absent. The novel's violence of tone can, in some measure, be traced to the influence of Naturalism, and its misanthropy to the hardships of the author's ten years in Canada. We contend that the hatred and bitterness of this novel was a catharsis for the writer, a conclusion supported by the fact that no subsequent work of his displays the vindictive tone of La Bourrasque. In chapter three, Constantin-Weyer’s novels of adventure are examined with particular attention given to the exoticism of his teeming and colorful panorama of the Canadian West, and to the Life-Love-Death theme which unifies the Epopée. Perusal of these novels uncovers two main facts: that Constantin-Weyer was an incorrigible braggart and that an aura of eroticism permeates his writing. His perception of the hundred intimate dramas of the forest and his flair for depicting the wild animal in its daily Life-Love-Death struggle make him one of the best animaliers in Canadian letters. His anthropomorphism transfigures not only the animals of the forest but inanimate natural forces as well, and it is this capacity for erotic empathy which constitutes a novel and heretofore unknown quantity in the Canadian literature of French expression. Georges Bugnet is in many ways the antithesis of Constantin-Weyer. Though a teacher and journalist, he shunned the more populated areas of his adopted country to settle in the very heart of the forest. To him, nature in Canada was a goddess to whom sacrifice was due. Chapter four explores his literary and philosophical views, especially his concept, --amounting to an original myth in Malinowski's sense, -- of nature in Western Canada. Bugnet was in temperament a classicist, by design a realist, and an avowed anti-romantic, yet elements of Romanticism pervade his verse which is essentially a vehicle for his metaphysical ideas. The latter part of this chapter assesses his prose poem Le Pin du maskeg, a synthesis of his literary and metaphysical creeds. Chapter five evaluates his two chief novels. Nipsya, an early work on the problem of the Metis and the relationship of man with Nature, is essentially à roman à thèse, the life of its characters being continually sacrificed to an abstract scheme. His last novel, La Forêt, one of the four or five best French-Canadian novels, triumphs over his earlier didactic tendencies. Its characters spring to life and dictate their own destiny, portraying the presumptuous Europeans who try to master an impassive land by brute strength rather than awe and understanding. Within this struggle, a lesser takes place: that between man and wife as they become aware of their innate incompatibility. To these and others of Bugnet's characters, Antaeus' flaw remains hidden. Constantin-Weyer and Bugnet are alike in their strong attraction to a pristine land, their predilection for Naturalism and their preoccupation with the theme of struggle -- that of man with nature and of man within himself. But the similarities are far outweighed by their differences. Constantin-Weyer, following in Cooper's tradition of exoticism, adds to it verve, humor, color and passion, qualities which won for Canada an enthusiastic audience in France. The underlying eroticism we detect is his original contribution to French-Canadian literature. Bugnet, on the other hand, deficient in these qualities, more than redeems himself by an uncompromising discipline, a sincerity and a certain mystic perception which brought forth a work of lasting value — La Forêt. / Arts, Faculty of / Central Eastern Northern European Studies, Department of / Graduate
