La littérature est une source d’où jaillissent les flots intarissables du paradoxe ; c’est dans cet entrelacement de dichotomies que nous nous sommes immergées pour percevoir l’unité sous-jacente derrière l’oxymore que constitue le titre de notre thèse : « une poétique de l’abjection dans la littérature gothique américaine postmoderne. » Si nous nous sommes tournées vers Stephen King, Peter Straub et Chuck Palahniuk et avons mis l’accent sur trois de leurs œuvres précises, notre démonstration se veut être transposable à l’ensemble de leurs écrits. Nous nous sommes interrogées sur la nature de l’abjection et sur sa prééminence dans une société américaine portant le sceau du puritanisme. Marqués par le Romantisme et le Gothique anglais, nos auteurs ont su donner aux thématiques caractérisant ces mouvements une voie nouvelle. Situer nos œuvres dans la lignée du gothique postmoderne nous permet d’osciller sur le paradigme de l’excès et de l’incomplétude, de la déconstruction et de l’unité. Le thème de la fragmentation apparaît comme l’un des fils d’Ariane permettant aux auteurs de tisser autour des lecteurs leur toile arachnéenne. Ce démantèlement qui affecte à la fois la dimension narrative et thématique des récits contribue à leur effet patchwork et subversif, nous liant à notre problématique postmoderne. Les paradoxes engendrés par nos récits leur donnent leur force et expliquent leur fascination sur le public. Nos pérégrinations menant à l’ouverture des différentes portes de l’interprétation révèlent que l’abjection devient source d’une nouvelle esthétique. Le laid peut véhiculer de la beauté et du sublime. L’harmonie qui existe dans le monde de la déchéance qui nous est dépeint explique l’emprise hypnotique de la littérature de l’abjection sur le lecteur. Source de poétique, celle-ci procure un plaisir de la lecture quasi jouissif pour ceux qui se laissent transporter par la magie créatrice de nos auteurs. / Literature is a stream from which gush forth the inexhausting flows of paradoxes; we have immersed ourselves in this entertwining of dichotomies to perceive the underlying unity behind the oxymoron constituting the title of our thesis: “a poetics of the abjection in American postmodern gothic literature.” If we have chosen Stephen King, Peter Straub and Chuck Palahniuk and have focused on three specific novels, our demonstration intends to be transposed to the whole range of their works. We wondered about the nature of abjection and its pre-eminence in an American society bearing the seal of Puritanism. Marked by Romanticism and the English gothic, our authors have been able to convey to the themes characterizing those movements a new direction. Setting our novels in the wake of postmodern gothic is a way for us to oscillate on the paradigm of excess and incompleteness, deconstruction and unity. The theme of fragmentation appears as one of Ariadne’s clues allowing the authors to weave their gossamery web around the readers. This dismantling which both affects the narrative and thematic dimension of the novels contributes to the patchwork and subversive effect engendered, linking us to our postmodern problematic. The paradoxes engendered by our novels give them their strength and account for their fascination on the audience. Our peregrinations leading to the opening of the various interpretative doors reveal that abjection becomes the source of a new aesthetics. Ugliness can convey beauty and sublime. The harmony which exists in the world of discrepancy depicted to us explains the hypnotic ascendancy of the literature of abjection on the reader. Source of poetry, it brings about a pleasure of reading verging on climax for those who let themselves be carried away by the creative magic of our authors.

A fortuna crítica de À la recherche du temps perdu sempre teve como um dos seus principais motes a relação da obra com outras artes, ou seja, uma construção estética baseada em uma relação de homologia estrutural com outros sistemas artísticos, dentre eles a música, a arquitetura, a própria literatura e a pintura. Essa construção faz com que a obra venha constantemente acompanhada do epíteto de museu imaginário. Especificamente, o nome do pintor holandês Johannes Ver Meer tem um lugar privilegiado na estética proustiana. Entretanto, nem todas as telas são mencionadas ao longo da narrativa. Somada a isso, a tessitura da escritura de Marcel Proust revela-se como um saber fortemente indiciário. Assim, a partir de índices que percorrem epístolas de Proust, textos críticos e a própria narrativa de À la recherche du temps perdu, esta tese cujo recorte de leitura é especificamente o episódio da lanterna mágica e seus desdobramentos defende que uma das telas de Ver Meer, a saber, A arte da pintura, é uma ausência epistêmica que, no entanto, faz-se presente, deixando inscritos na obra seus efeitos de significação. A fim de compreendermos essa presença-ausente, esta tese recorre ao conceito de letra, conforme o ensino de Jacques Lacan, os textos freudianos nos quais esse conceito estava em latência e os esclarecimentos e avanços feitos por Jacques Derrida, especificamente em seus textos da década de sessenta do século passado. Por efeitos de significação, concebe-se a ideia de que A arte da pintura realiza-se como uma ideia ausente, mas pungente no que tange aos efeitos estéticos de esmero do detalhe e dos processos descritivos, implicando uma relação de similitude entre o narrador em seu quarto, em lincipit de À la recherche du temps perdu e no episódio da lanterna mágica, e um artista em seu ateliê, presente na tela de Ver Meer, que incidirá em uma poética do detalhe. / The critical fortune of À la Recherche du Temps Perdu has always had, as one of its main threads, the relationship of work with other art forms, in other words, an aesthetic construction based on a relationship of structural homology with other Arts, including music, architecture, literature itself and painting. This ensures that the work is constantly accompanied by the epithet of the imaginary museum. Specifically, the name of the Dutch painter Johannes Ver Meer has a privileged place in the Proustian aesthetic. Nevertheless, not all canvases are mentioned during the narrative. Added to this, the tone of the Marcel Proust text reveals itself as a clear, evidentiary wisdom. Therefore, from indices that permeate the Proust missives, critical texts and the narrative of À la Recherche du Temps Perdu, this thesis, the scope of which is limited specifically to the episode of the Magic Lantern and its ramifications, argues that one of Ver Meers canvases, namely that of the Art of Painting, is epistemically absent, however it makes its presence felt through its effects of significance on the piece. In order to understand this absent-presence, this thesis uses the concept of the letter, according to the teachings of Jacques Lacan, Freudian texts in which this concept was latent, and in the clarifications and advances made by Jacques Derrida in his writings of the 1960s. For purpose of meaning, one has conceived the idea that The Art of Painting be like a missing yet poignant idea touching the aesthetic effects of minute detail and of the descriptive processes, implying an affinity in relationship between the narrator in his chamber, in l\'incipit of la Recherche du Temps Perdu and the episode of the Magic Lantern, and the artist in his studio, present on Ver Meers canvas, reflected in a poetic detail.

To open a different perspective on the still-discussed difference between Christian religion and magic is the task of this work. In order to reach the end successfully, that is, the fourth part of this thesis, which deals with the principle of sanctity in the Catholic Church, it was necessary to first develop the following three blocks. 1) Religious-anthropological analysis of magic ? in this part we summarize basic anthropological views on magic according to the individual researchers J.G. Frazer, E.B. Taylor, R.R. Marett, B. Malinowski, and E. de Martino. The subject of this section was the analysis of animism and the inner power of creation. 2) Magic as a part of religion ? in which we analysed the content of the concept of magic, the area where it came from, and how it was perceived in the environment of the Mediterranean European culture of ancient Rome, and how magic was discredited in the ancient "pagan" and Christian environment. 3) The interest of the sages in the phenomenon of magic ? has created a space for the issue of the magic of "barbaric" tribes, whose faith traditions have become a legitimate part of the Catholic faith. This section has also developed a "story of overly" peculiar magic adepts of the "restored" Renaissance Platonic Academy, in which M. Ficino and P. della Mirandola worked. We paid more attention to their life stories and work, for they themselves stood at the birth of an "institutional" association in the area of a sort of "applied" magism in the form of esoteric neoplatonism, hermetism, and theururgy. At this point we also found the historical model of the later Czech hermetic society Universalia, which we mentioned at the end of the work. 4) Ex opere operato et ex opere operantis ? it represents the peak of our work, opening a whole new discussion in the critique of magic and religion. Magic and Christian religion have a common root, they co-exist side by side, complement each other, and even blend in some areas of universal piety as conditions of one and the same Catholic faith.

A coletânea Contos populares russos, lançada de 1855 a 1863 em oito volumes, foi resultado do cuidadoso trabalho de Aleksandr N. Afanássiev (1826-1871), responsável pela reunião e publicação de cerca de 600 textos presentes nessa obra, que ganhou destaque por ser a primeira coletânea de contos populares russos de caráter científico, tornando-se assim um importante material de estudo, além de apresentar a poesia e o humor inerentes aos contos. Esta dissertação tem o objetivo de apresentar a trajetória desse pesquisador, que se dedicou não somente ao conto mas também a outras manifestações folclóricas, assim como traçar a evolução da presença do conto popular na vida literária e científica russa, fato que proporcionou o surgimento de diversos estudos folclorísticos, e apresentar alguns traços recorrentes do conto de magia. Para tanto, as pesquisas de Vladímir Propp, que muito se dedicou à cultura popular, em especial ao conto de magia, foram de extrema importância. Esta dissertação apresenta ainda a tradução de onze contos de magia, cujo critério de seleção foi a presença das diferentes representações do personagem folclórico Baba-Iagá, e um breve estudo dos seus traços de acordo com as teorias proppianas. / The collection Russian folktales, brought out from 1855 to 1863 in eight volumes, was the result of the careful work by Aleksandr N. Afanássiev (1826-1871), responsible for the gathering and publishing of around 600 texts in this work. Afanássiev´s work was the first Russian folktales collection with a scientific approach, it became a fundamental study material, besides presenting the tales inherent poetry and humour. This dissertation has the objective to introduce Afanássiev´s path, who devoted himself not only to the tale but also to other folklorist expressions, as well as to outline the evolution of the folktale presence in the literary and scientific Russian life, making possible the appearance of many folklorist studies. Another purpose of this work is to present some recurring traits from the tales of magic. For this intention, Vladimir Propp´s works, who dedicated a lot of his time to the popular culture, and in particular, to the tales of magic, were extremely important to us. This dissertation also presents the translation into Portuguese of eleven tales of magic, in which the selection criteria was the presence of different representations of the folktale character Baba-Iagá, of which a short assessment is made of its traits, in accordance with Propp´s theories.

In the hypothesis proposed, the proverbs function as sample of the composition method by author, which comes from popular elements, such as proverbs, to submit them to the method of magic algebra, which will extract from its conventional and generalizing form that singularizes like poetics cells, which are updated each time in different contexts. This dual structure - fixed and moving - of proverbial expressions, keep inside the "counsel" of the narrator from oral traditions, and the anonymity that makes them a land of moving frontiers between orality and writing, the literary and non-literary. The proverbs are, therefore, cells of the critical short story of Rosa, that is, one that transcends the tradition of short story genre to introduce as hybrid narrative between fiction and metafiction; the poetic and scientific; the literary and essayistic - philosophical. The methodology of analysis focused the four prefaces - "Aletria e Hermenêutica", "Hipotrélico", "Nós, os temulentos" and "Sobre a escova e a dúvida" - as a sample of the functions of proverbs as structures that lead to metaficcional reflections on the working method practiced by Rosa in Tutaméia, in addition to two short stories - "Arroio-das-Antas" and "- Uai, eu?" in which proverbs work as fictional experimentation exerted by the narrators, in a frontier area with the character and the figure of the author. In conclusion, it was observed that the update of proverbs in Tutaméia restored them the latent poetry, darkened by the repetition and the use of that automated sentences / Este trabalho investigativo tem por objeto o questionamento do papel exercido pelas sentenças proverbiais na construção poética de Tutaméia-Terceiras Estórias, última obra publicada em vida por Guimarães Rosa. Na hipótese levantada, os provérbios funcionam como amostra do método de composição autoral, que parte de elementos populares, como os provérbios, para submetê-los ao método da álgebra mágica, que vai extrair da sua forma convencional e generalizante aquilo que os singulariza como células poéticas cada vez que são atualizados em contextos diferentes. Essa estrutura dúplice - fixa e movente - das expressões proverbiais, guarda em seu interior o conselho do narrador das tradições orais, bem como o anonimato que faz delas um terreno de fronteiras movediças entre a oralidade e a escritura; o literário e o não literário. Os provérbios constituem-se, assim, células do conto crítico roseano, isto é, aquele que transcende a tradição do gênero conto para se instaurar enquanto narrativa híbrida entre a ficção e a metaficção; o poético e o científico; o literário e o ensaístico - filosófico. A metodologia de análise privilegiou como corpus os quatro prefácios - Aletria e Hermenêutica , Hipotrélico , Nós, os temulentos e Sobre a escova e a dúvida - como amostra das funções dos provérbios como estruturas que conduzem à reflexão metaficcional sobre o próprio método de trabalho praticado por Rosa em Tutaméia, além de dois contos - Arroiodas- Antas e - Uai, eu? nos quais os provérbios funcionam como experimentação ficcional exercida pelos próprios narradores, numa zona fronteiriça com a personagem e a própria figura autoral. Como conclusão, observou-se que a atualização dos provérbios em Tutaméia restaurou-lhes a poesia latente, obscurecida pela repetição e pelo uso automatizado de tais sentenças

The intention in this work is to reveal the poetic to Mario Quintana, seeking to understand and explain how the poet manipulates the imagery of incitement and as evidenced by his poetic concepts. To this end, the work The Anthropological Structures of the Imaginary (2001), and the imaginary, of Gilbert Durand (1994), will provide the theoretical basis and the poetics of reverie, of Gaston Bachelard (2009). Therefore, consider the style and the plurality of styles in Quintana, making a foray into the poetic to prove that the author is not attached to any literary style, though, has it left contaminated by the surreal beauty as a means to seek the freedom of creation, escaping the limitations imposed by so-called literary schools, because the author walked against material society. Thus, his poems explore dreams, fantasies, visions and hallucinations. This dissertational work will be guided by a simple language, even in the case of the theories explored here, since another goal that will guide is to make it work in a research material for teachers and high school students. Therefore, the didactic character will be a goal to be achieved at the end. Thus, it is expected to instigate the reader of this work to pursue the work of Mario Quintana and her make object pleasant and constant reading. / Este estudo objetiva analisar as obras O Aprendiz de Feiticeiro e Espelho Mágico para apresentar Mario Quintana como um feiticeiro aprendiz de mágico capaz de transformar imagens em conceitos e o cotidiano em linguagem. A pretensão nesse trabalho é desvendar o fazer poético de Mário Quintana, buscando entender e explicitar a forma como o poeta manipula a incitação do imaginário e como evidencia seus conceitos poéticos. Para atingir essa finalidade, as obras As estruturas Antropológicas do Imaginário (2001), e O imaginário, de Gilbert Durand (1994), servirão de aporte teórico, bem como A poética do devaneio, de Gaston Bachelard (2009). Para tanto, consideraremos o estilo e a pluralidade de estilos em Quintana, fazendo uma incursão pelo poético para comprovar que o autor não se prendeu a nenhum estilo literário, muito embora, tenha se deixado contaminar pela beleza surreal como meio de buscar a liberdade da criação, fugindo das limitações impostas pelas chamadas escolas literárias, pois o autor caminhou na contramão da sociedade material. Assim, seus poemas exploram sonhos, fantasias, visões e alucinações. Este trabalho dissertativo será pautado por uma linguagem simples, mesmo em se tratando das teorias aqui exploradas, uma vez que outro objetivo que o norteará é fazer com que resulte num material de pesquisa para professores e estudantes do Ensino Médio. Para tanto, o caráter didático será uma meta a ser conquistada ao final. Dessa forma, espera-se instigar o leitor desta dissertação a buscar a obra de Mario Quintana e dela fazer objeto de leitura prazerosa e constante.

Este trabalho visa abordar conceitos estéticos, musicais e históricos (relacionados à época do Iluminismo) que envolvem as transcrições para violão \"Six Airs Choisis de l\'Opéra de Mozart: \"Il flauto magico, arrangés pour guitare\" Op. 19 do compositor e violonista espanhol Fernando Sor (1778-1839), publicadas entre os anos de 1823 a 1825, em Londres, e baseadas em árias de A flauta mágica k620 (1791) de Mozart. O processo de transcrição empreendido por Fernando Sor exigiu, inclusive por necessidades históricas (aproximadamente 35 anos separam essas obras), uma mudança de concepção da escritura instrumental, pois, para Sor, tratava-se de verter a essência de um pensamento musical concebido no meio operático e apresentá-lo sob o conceito sonoro de um instrumento solo emergente, como foi o caso do violão no final do século XVIII e primeiras décadas do século XIX. Assim, do ponto de vista instrumental, elementos como textura, estilo de acompanhamento e conceito de condução de vozes, para citar apenas alguns aspectos, sofreram mudanças de concepção, resultando muitas vezes quase em uma nova composição e, até mesmo, outra percepção da forma musical, porque, acima de tudo, o elemento dramáticoliterário está ausente. / This paper aims at addressing the aesthetic, musical and historical concepts (related to the Enlightenment) that involve the guitar transcriptions \"Six Airs Choisis de l\'Opéra de Mozart: \"Il flauto magico, arrangés pour guitare\" Op. 19 by Spanish composer and guitarist Fernando Sor (1778-1839), published between the years 1823 to 1825, in London, and based in Mozart\'s Die Zauberflöte k620 (The Magic Flute). The transcription\'s process undertaken by Fernando Sor required, even for historical purposes (the compositions were created 35 years apart), a change in the concept of instrumental writing. For Sor, it was a question of translating the essence of the musical thought conceived in an operatic way and presenting it under a sonorous concept of an emerging, solo instrument as had been the case of the guitar in the late 18th century and in the first decades of the 19th century. From the instrumental perspective, therefore, elements such as texture, style of accompaniment and the voice leading concept, to name but a few, have undergone conceptual changes, often resulting almost in a new composition and even a different perception of the musical form since, above all, the elements of drama and literature are absent.

Exploramos aspectos da espacialidade nos videogames, aplicando o conceito de círculo mágico como abordado por Johan Huizinga, refletindo sobre a experiência da imersão e da observação externa. Empregamos, como objeto do pensamento, ferramentas provenientes da teoria dos games, geometria, semiótica, fenomenologia, psicologia, informática e pós-estruturalismo. Observamos a estrutura triádica na percepção do jogador alicerçada sobre três categorias espaciais: físico-tátil, imagético- narrativa e intencional. Levantamos informações relativas aos sistemas de objetos próprios dos jogos eletrônicos. Classificamos esquemas espaciais utilizados para a apresentação do espaço diegético na tela. Aplicamos o conceito de flow, criado por Csikszentmihalyi, para avaliar a imersão e o engajamento do jogador. Investigamos possíveis extrapolações do círculo mágico formado pelo jogar. Observamos modos de virtualização e atualização na interface dos games. Abstraímos o jogo como obra de metadesign, considerando modos de autoria pelo interator. Verificamos processos de embodiment através do agenciamento via avatar. Contemplamos aspectos topológicos de rede e estruturas labirínticas. Ponderamos sobre as possibilidades abertas pelo game thinking, como processos de ludificação e simulação. Por fim, divisamos as circunstâncias de transcendência do espaço do jogo por meio da alteridade e da expansão do círculo mágico. / We explored aspects of video game spatiality, using the magic circle concept, as approached by Johan Huizinga, pondering upon the experience of immersion and external observation. We applied, as object of thought, tools originated from the theory of gaming, geometry, semiotics, phenomenology, psychology, computing and post-structuralism. We observed the triadic structure of the player\'s perception based on three spatial categories: physical-tactile, imagery-narrative and intentional. We collected data related to the system of objects used in electronic games. We classified spatial diagrams utilized in the presentation of diegetic space on screen. We applied the flow concept, created by Csikszentmihalyi, to valuate immersion and engagement of players. We explored possible surpassing of the magic circle created by the act of playing. We observed modes of virtualization and updating of the gaming interfaces. We abstracted gaming as a work of metadesign, considering means of authorship by the interactor. We verify embodiment processes via avatar agency. We observed topological aspects of network and labyrinth structures. We pondered the possibilities opened by game thinking, like processes of gamification and simulation. Finally we glimpsed the circumstances of gaming space transcendence by the means of alterity and the expansion of the magic circle.

Listening to Birth asserts that structures of power reproduce themselves by instituting particular modes of listening and sound production. Situating my research within feminist sound studies, I argue that meanings conjured around the audible, material bodies of women were carefully crafted by elites in antiquity, in order to construct gendered ideologies of kingship, civilisation, and nature. I examine these power dynamics as expressed in mythic and magical texts and iconographies, dating from the Bronze Age to later Roman antiquity. Throughout the thesis, I examine the development of symbolic systems and narrative tropes that linked mining and metallurgy with reproduction and vocality. My analysis emphasises how the invention of nature was accomplished, in part, through a metallurgical reclassification of the voices and sexualities of women as indiscrete phenomena: womb, mouth, and voice were elided with mining and smelting to form a unified semantic realm. I argue that this invention of ‘vulvar vocality’ reclassified female sounds as illicit, providing a plaform for the removal of women from the public sphere. I attempt to connect the gendered discourse found in myths and magical rituals to the political and economic domain of state-craft, to demonstrate the importance of hegemonic mythopoeic control of audible female reproduction for establishing ideologies of colonisation and extraction. I link analyses of texts and iconographies from the Bronze Age Mesopotamians, Hittites, Canaanites, Minoans, and Egyptians to later materials from the Iron Age Greeks, Israelites, and Romans—my goal is to demonstrate both the ubiquity and the continual reproduction of metallurgical ideology across the ancient world. I also present my preliminary research into the lasting impact that antique notions of vulvar vocality had on later state-craft. I begin to trace the preservation and elaboration of antique metallurgical literature by Byzantine and Islamic scholars, who in turn exerted strong influence on the Ottomans and late medieval and early modern Europeans. I outline future work to investigate the exponential rise of entrepreneurial metallurgy in late medieval and early modern Europe, arguing that this metallurgical discourse provided symbolic re-enforcement for the rapidly-accelerating mining and metal trade that formed the core of European colonial expansion. I suggest that vulvar vocality was central to early modern metallurgical, demonological, and colonial discourse, and that specific female vocalities and silences were purposefully crafted into the colonial project in order to forcibly redefine women, along with the lands and children stolen from them, as mere natural resources.

It points out to factors that made of the telescope a natural magic device, by approaching to the design of Galileo Galilei s instrument. Analysis is centered on De telescopio, De refractione optices parte libri novem and Magiae naturalis libri XX by Della Porta and Sidereus nuncius by Galileu, as primary sources. This study allowed to realize that the expansion of the visual capacity achieved through instruments and devices was not merely related to philosophical strategies that would lead to mistrust naked-eye observation or mathematization of seeing by 15th century linear perspective. Among other features involved in the change of views regarding the observation of nature, the recognition of the sharper visual perception achieved through instruments was also associated to natural magic s manipulation of seeing / Este estudo discute a relação do instrumento com a experiência sensória ou perceptiva sob a perspectiva da magia natural de Giambattista della Porta e da filosofia natural do século XVII. Aponta-se, desse modo, para os indícios que fizeram do telescópio um aparato de magia natural, dialogando com a concepção do instrumento de Galileu Galilei. Foram selecionados para análise o De telescopio, o De refractione optices parte libri novem e a Magiae naturalis libri XX de Della Porta e o Sidereus nuncius de Galileu, como fontes primárias. Por meio deste estudo, observou-se que a ampliação da capacidade visual, por meio de aparatos e instrumentos, não estava apenas relacionada a certas estratégias de natureza filosófica, que fizeram desacreditar na observação a olho nu, nem à matematização do olhar proposta pela perspectiva linear do século XV. Além de outros aspectos relacionados à mudança de atitude em relação à observação da natureza, o reconhecimento de uma percepção visual mais aguda, por meio de instrumentos, estava também relacionado com a proposta da magia natural de manipular o olhar
