Este trabalho estuda a obra do poeta Murilo Mendes, em especial, o livro Poesia Liberdade. A partir da sua relação com as conquistas de 1922, sua obra é vista como ramificação e continuação do primeiro modernismo, além de ter sofrido as influências da vanguarda surrealista e do cristianismo, ambas criando imagens desconcertantes e, algumas vezes, desconcertadas. Se, como já se afirmou, a imagem conta tanto em Murilo, a leitura de Poesia Liberdade possibilita um estudo de como se desenvolve a arte combinatória na poética muriliana. Estudamos também a experiência artística do poeta de criar um novo mundo dentro do caos, fazendo aquilo que parece fora da ordem revelar justamente uma nova ordenação para as coisas, procurando, no entanto, responder até que ponto isso é possível formalmente no poema e historicamente na práxis vital, abrindo uma reflexão no interior da própria obra. / This study analyzes Murilo Mendes work, particularly the book Poesia Liberdade. Since its relationship to the conquers of 1922, his work has been seen as a ramification and continuation of the first modernism, and has suffered influences from the surrealist vanguard and the christianism, both having created disconcerting and, sometimes, disconcerted images. If, as it has already been affirmed, image is so important in Murilos work, reading Poesia Liberdade enables a study of how the combinatory art in Murilos poetry is developed. We have also studied the artistic experience of the poet in creating a new world among the chaos, making what seems to be disordered reveal just a new order, aiming, however, to answer how far that is possible in the poem and historically in the vital praxis, opening a new reflection in the work itself.

Considering the novel as a socially symbolic narrative, an undeniable characteristic of the book is related to the very unique time in which the story occurs: the end of the millennium. On the eve of the twenty-first century, the society represented by the Portuguese writer has not learned to deal with the remaining problems from the Modern Age. The scientificism inherited from earlier centuries as well as the utopian hope that reason would provide the world with a new meaning, is one of the ways in which the process of disenchantment of the world develops itself in the last centuries. Since we notice that the world is in a heightened stage of this process, possibly without return, we see the novel as a deep Saramago criticism to the social model of capitalism: out of this parameter there is not a possible idea of civilization to the characters and the fear of barbarism practices emerges. Individuals present in Blindness when beset by the white evil do not show humanity and dignity as we see in the current moral social standards. This work aims to analyze, based on the weberian sociology, how the termination of a disenchanted world is constructed in the novel, questioning the possibilities for a re-enchantment through the experience of blindness and inquiring the motivations to the fact that the doctor s wife is the only visionary remaining in a world of blind people. / Ensaio sobre a cegueira, de José Saramago, vem suscitando desde sua publicação em 1995, inúmeros interesses de pesquisa. Tomando a obra como uma narrativa socialmente simbólica, uma das facetas inegáveis está justamente relacionada ao tempo muito singular no qual se insere: o de fim de milênio. Às vésperas do século XXI, a sociedade ainda não aprendeu a lidar com problemas e circunstâncias muito particulares provindos da modernidade. O cientificismo herdado de séculos anteriores, bem como a utópica esperança de que a razão dotaria o mundo de novo sentido, configura uma das vias do processo de desencantamento do mundo em curso há alguns séculos. Mediante a percepção de que o mundo encena uma etapa intensificada deste processo, possivelmente sem volta, percebemos na obra analisada uma profunda crítica saramaguiana ante o agrilhoamento social ao modelo capitalista: fora desse parâmetro não há civilização possível para os personagens e o temor de um barbarismo emerge. Em Ensaio sobre a cegueira, os indivíduos, quando assolados pelo mal-branco, não atestam os caracteres de humanidade e dignidade correntes nos padrões sociais éticos e morais, mas se entregam às situações mais abjectas. Os objetivos da pesquisa se configuram, portanto, em analisar, a partir da vertente sociológica weberiana, de que forma a denúncia deste mundo desencantado é feita na obra, verificando quais as possibilidades de um reencantamento mediante a experiência da cegueira e cogitando respostas ao fato de a mulher do médico permanecer como a única visionária restante.

Se os diários revelam a dimensão mais íntima e pessoal de Lima Barreto, oferecendo um roteiro biográfico para a leitura de sua ficção, os escritos circunstanciais constituem uma espécie de roteiro ideológico em que o Autor, por meio de textos militantes, denuncia as iniqüidades da sociedade brasileira do seu tempo. Assim, alimentada pelas injunções históricas imediatas e pelas circunstâncias biográficas do romancista, a escrita de Lima Barreto dá voz ao protesto mudo dos vencidos, modulada pela revolta do injustiçado e a melancolia do fracassado. / Abstract: Elaborated on the sign of nonconformism and driven by the ideal of a militant literature, Lima Barreto's work depicts at the same time the acute contradictions of Brazilian society in the first years of republic and the adversities of personal life of this author whose biography is a living symptom of those same contradictions that comprise his texts. If diaries reveal a most personal dimension of Lima Barreto offering a biographical outline to a reading of his fiction, circumstantial pieces of writing is seen as a kind of ideological outline in which the author by means of militant texts points the finger at inequalities of Brazilian society at his time. In this way, comprised by immediate historical determinations e by biographical circumstances, Lima Barreto's writing give voice to silent protest of underdogs, modulated by revolt of injustice and by melancholy of unsuccessfulness. / Doutorado / Literatura Brasileira / Doutor em Teoria e História Literária

O romance Budapeste de Chico Buarque é uma narrativa em primeira pessoa que relata de forma não linear a trajetória do ghost-writer José Costa, desde os tempos de faculdade, quando vendia sob encomenda monografias e trabalhos acadêmicos, no Rio de Janeiro, até o seu estabelecimento definitivo na cidade de Budapeste, na Hungria, depois de ser-lhe atribuída a autoria de Budapest, livro que afirma não ter escrito e que relata grande parte de sua vida. Abordando o motivo do duplo, uma vez que o protagonista não se divide somente entre duas cidades, mas também entre duas línguas e duas mulheres, o relato se constrói a partir de um foco não confiável, o que reforça a problemática do logro e do embuste que a narrativa engendra. A associação desses elementos a saber, o foco não confiável, a profissão exercida pelo protagonista e seu deslocamento entre dois países possibilita algumas das questões que se colocam no romance e que selecionamos para análise, tais como a simulação e a abstração, as relações de dependência entre o Brasil e os países economicamente dominantes e a indústria cultural. Assim, partindo-se do pressuposto de que a obra literária recria em seu interior uma realidade ficcional autônoma, o propósito deste trabalho é examinar os temas apontados, verificando em que medida e de que maneira essas questões são captadas e formuladas pela estrutura da obra e assim revelam aspectos próprios da realidade concreta. / The novel Budapeste, by Chico Buarque, is a first-person narrative which relates in a non-linear way the trajectory of the ghost-writer José Costa since he used to sell monographs and academic papers in Rio de Janeiro until his settling in Budapest, the Hungarian capital, when he is pointed as the author of Budapest, a book which he does not recognizes as his and which tells a great part of his life. Dealing with the motif of the double, as the protagonist does not only divide himself between two cities, but also between two languages and two women, the story is told by an unreliable narrator, which reinforces the issue of deceit which the narrative constructs. The association of these elements unreliable narrator, profession of the protagonist and his circulation between two countries creates some of the questions that are present in the novel and herein analyzed, for instance, simulation and abstraction, relations of dependency between Brazil and economically dominant countries and the cultural industry. Therefore, starting from the idea that the literary work recreates an autonomous fictional reality, the aim of this dissertation is to examine the mentioned themes, observing in which ways these questions are grasped and formulated by the structure of the novel and hence can reveal specific aspects of concrete reality.

Na presente Dissertação investigamos como a configuração do narrador em Abdias formaliza, literariamente, a figura do intelectual brasileiro mediano dos anos 1930. Desse modo, propomos a leitura analítica do romance de Cyro dos Anjos numa chave que leve em conta a relação entre a matéria ficcional e os elementos sociais e culturais que ali estão representados. / This dissertation investigates how the configuration of the narrator of Abdias formalaises, literarily, the figure of the brazilian middle-class intelectual of the 1930\'s. In this sense, it proposes an analytical analyses of Cyro dos Anjos\' novel in a perspective that takes into consideration the relation between the fiction and the social and cultural elements that are there represented.

Cette thèse s’attache à étudier les infléchissements du romanesque dans la littérature contemporaine française, à travers un corpus de narrations écrites dans la première décennie du XXIe siècle. Les œuvres de Jean Echenoz, Jean Rolin et Patrick Deville, nourries à leurs débuts des modèles extravagants de la littérature d’action, ouvrent depuis peu l’invention romanesque à d’autres espaces. Elles portent une attention singulière au réel (biographique, historique, social), s’approprient de multiplies dispositifs génériques, en écho aux questionnements qui émergent avec le nouveau siècle. D’un côté, le romanesque souvent considéré comme un rêve, une utopie, est amené à se défaire de sa structure ; de l’autre côté, il subsiste dans le récit à l’état d’impulsions narratives, de fragments, de motifs, capables d’alimenter et de renouveler le roman. On observe ainsi une homologie entre les sujets de prédilection des trois auteurs – l’aventure, l’agir humain, pensés à même le réel – et le traitement générique du roman : loin de se présenter comme un genre codifié, il est plutôt dynamisé par une écriture aventureuse, qui explore les domaines du savoir et les frontières du littéraire. Cette étude entend ainsi montrer comment la déceptivité première de l’aventure permet aux auteurs de réinvestir la puissance exploratoire du romanesque et de questionner le sujet, transformant ses principes en une liberté formelle et intellectuelle. Jean Echenoz, Jean Rolin et Patrick Deville font ainsi écho aux évolutions des discours critiques qui, depuis la fin des années 1990, affichent des formes de résistance à la « fin des idéologies » et à son relativisme supposé. / This thesis sets out to study the evolution of “Romanesque” in contemporary French literature, through a corpus of narratives written in the first decade of the 21st century. The works of Jean Echenoz, Jean Rolin and Patrick Deville first inspired by the extravagant patterns from action literature opened the fictional invention to other places. They particularly focus on (biographical, historical, social) reality, and use various devices of the genre, taking into account interrogations that echo the questionings borne by the new century. On the one hand, the “Romanesque”, often considered as a dream, an utopian ideal, is led to be deprived of its structure; on the other hand, it remains active in the form of fragments, impulses and topics able to boost and regenerate narratives. An homology appears between the favourite subjects of the three authors – stories of adventure, human action, considered as they appear in reality – and the way novel is handled: far from being used as a codified genre, it is rather boosted by an adventurous writing, which explores the field of knowledge and the boundaries of literature. This study aims at showing how the deception of adventurous stories enables the authors to use the power of narrative exploration and to question the subject, turning its principles into a formal and intellectual freedom. Jean Echenoz, Jean Rolin and Patrick Deville echo the evolutions of critics’ discourses, that have put forward some forms of resistance to the « end of ideologies » as well as to its alleged relativism, since the end of the 90’s.

Cette thèse s’efforce d’examiner la représentation que le roman contemporain donne du tourisme. Elle s’appuie sur un corpus de romans parus entre 1990 et 2010 mêlant des auteurs aussi divers qu’Éric Chevillard, Jean Echenoz, Mathias Énard, Michel Houellebecq, Lydie Salvayre, Olivier Rolin ou Jean-Philippe Toussaint. Chacun de ces écrivains s’emploie à déjouer un discours au caractère souvent prescriptif et stéréotypé. Ces auteurs donnent à voir les aspirations contradictoires du touriste et la manière dont interagit ce personnage étonnamment complexe, au comportement hérité de paradigmes historiques et littéraires anciens. Le roman contemporain investit également le tourisme en tant que secteur d’activité– une hétérotopie au sens où l’entendait Michel Foucault – assimilable à un répertoire de formes contribuant à son renouvellement esthétique. Enfin, le roman interroge cette interface touristique, qui, s’intercalant entre le voyageur et le mode extérieur, en hypothèque la compréhension : le retour à une écriture transitive se trouve contrarié par un réel qui se dérobe sous sa propre représentation : paradoxalement, c’est en consentant à affronter ce medium que constitue le tourisme et en jouant ou en déjouant les stéréotypes dont il est porteur que le roman parvient à renouer avec un voyage original. / This thesis endeavours to examine the representation that the contemporary novel imparts to tourism. It draws on a corpus of novels issued between 1990 and 2010, involving writers as diverse as Éric Chevillard, Jean Echenoz, Mathias Énard, Michel Houellebecq, Lydie Salvayre, Olivier Rolin or Jean-Philippe Toussaint. Each of these writers seeks to outwit often prescriptive and stereotyped views. These authors shed light on the tourist’s contradictory aspirations and the way this unexpectedly complex character, whose behaviour has been inherited from ancient historical and literary paradigms, interacts. The contemporary novel also takes over tourism as a line of business– a heterotopia, as Michel Foucault understood it– akin to a repertoire of forms, contributing to its aesthetic renewal. Lastly, the novel interrogates this touristic interface device, which, positioning itself between the traveler and the outer world, jeopardizes the understanding of it. Hence, the return to transitive writing is thwarted by a reality that falls away under its own representation. Paradoxically enough, while consenting to confront that medium which tourism represents, and playing upon and against the stereotypes it conveys, the novel manages to rekindle its ties with an original journey.

Drawing on insights from feminist scholarship and gender studies, this thesis offers a new reading of selected medieval German texts with a special emphasis on the negotiation of gender and power. All three parts of the thesis demonstrate how the use of modern theories helps us to re-examine a medieval text's implications and ethical values, and to reconsider traditional views of the text. Part One focuses on the discussion of gender boundaries. Didactic and fictional texts, such as Thomasin von Zerclaere's Der welsche Gast and Ulrich von Liechtenstein's Frauendienst, show that violations of gender boundaries and the questioning of the traditional power relationship between the genders are crucial to the textual negotiation of masculinity and femininity. As I demonstrate in Part Two, the unequal relationship between men and women is especially important for the system of male homosocial bonding underlying medieval society. Examples of the physical and symbolic exchange of women and their favours are offered by didactic texts, such as Marquard vom Stein's Der Ritter vom Turn, and fictional texts, such as the Nibelungenlied. Aspects of this exchange are not solely related to medieval marriage practices, but are also reflected in courtly rituals, such as "frouwen schouwen" (watching the ladies). The importance of the conventionally beautiful female body as an object of exchange becomes obvious in Part Three, where I examine encounters between Christian knights and women defying the norms of feminine beauty. Here I focus on female figures that are defined as "doubly Other": both in their relationship to the masculine Self, and in their relationship to the ideal of medieval Christian femininity. Texts such as Wolfdietrich B and Der Strieker's Die Konigin vom Mohrenland show how the negotiation of gender and power assumes a new dimension in light male encounters with Wild Women, heathen women, "supernatural" women and old women, where the male partner often has to struggle to uphold his privileged masculine position. / Arts, Faculty of / Central Eastern Northern European Studies, Department of / Graduate

Especialmente no século XX, início do romance, a sociedade brasileira sofreu um processo de industrialização que, aparentemente, separou o Brasil em regiões modernas e atrasadas, dando origem ao assim chamado dualismo brasileiro. A trajetória dos irmãos Yaqub e Omar, oriundos de uma família libanesa em Manaus, exemplifica, de maneira singular, a alegoria do dualismo brasileiro e do desenvolvimento desigual, especialmente a partir da década de 1950. O romance é narrado por Nael, filho da empregada da casa com um dos gêmeos, que reconstrói a história daquela família a partir de suas memórias. Assim, através da mencionada obra de Hatoum propõe-se uma análise da sociedade brasileira a partir de suas características e contradições / Abstract: This research examines the relationships between the brazilian literature and its historical context, from de the book Dois irmãos, by Milton Hatoum, an important contemporary writer. Especially in the twentieth century, beginning of the novel, brazilian society started a process of industrialization which apparently broke the country in modern and archaic regions, giving rise to the brazilian dualism. The trajectory of the twin brothers Yaqub and Omar, from a lebanese family in Manaus, exemplifies the allegory of brazilian dualism and uneven development, especially since the 1950s. The novel is narrated by Nael, son of the servant of the house with one of the brothers, which reconstructs the history of that family from their memories. Through this Hatoum's novel this work proposes an analysis of Brazilian society from its characteristics and contradictions / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestre em Sociologia
