Alvarez / Resumo: A literatura de Murilo Rubião, introdutora do insólito no Brasil, abriga temas essenciais para a compreensão da modernidade brasileira do século XX. Analisar o sobrenatural em sua obra implica ainda examinar temas referentes à condição humana, que envolvem necessariamente a relação texto/contexto e também observar como isso é veiculado na narrativa em termos de representação. Tendo como pressuposto o relevante papel do escritor no seu contexto social e a importância da criação literária quando considerada a partir de certas necessidades de representação do mundo, nosso intuito com a pesquisa é problematizar a construção formal do insólito na ficção do autor, utilizando as acepções do neofantástico, realismo mágico e do absurdo, na direção de um diálogo entre os gêneros. Desta forma, a pesquisa tem por finalidade a análise da estruturação dos elementos insólitos como mecanismo de representação simbólica do homem moderno, em seis contos do autor, observando as especificidades do contexto histórico em que se situam as narrativas. A saber, os contos selecionados para a análise são: "O ex-mágico da Taberna Minhota", "O pirotécnico Zacarias", "Teleco, o coelhinho", "Os dragões", "O edifício" e "A cidade". O embasamento teórico para o trabalho é composto de ensaios críticos sobre o autor como os de Arrigucci Jr, Jorge Schwartz, Nelly Novaes Coelho, José Paulo Paes, entre outros. Também fazem parte do embasamento, estudos sobre o fantástico, o neofantástico, o realismo mágico e o absurdo, como os de Tzvetan Todorov, Jean Paul Sartre, Jaime Alazraki, David Roas, William Spindler e Martin Esslin. Além disso, são utilizadas proposições teóricas sobre as categorias da narrativa como as de Gérard Genette / Abstract: Murilo Rubião's literature, pioneer of the uncommon in Brazil, contain essential themes for understanding the Brazilian modernity of the twentieth century. Analyzing the supernatural in his work also involves examining issues related to the human condition, which necessarily involve the relationship text / context and also observe how it is conveyed in the narrative in terms of representation. Assuming the relevant role of the writer in his social context and the importance of literary creation when seen from certain requirements of representing the world, our aim with the study is to discuss the construction of the formal neofantastic, magical realism and absurd in the author fiction, toward a dialogue between genres. Thus, the research main objective is to analyze the structure of the uncommon elements as mechanisms for symbolic representation of the modern man, in six tales of the author, observing the specificities of the modern context in which the narratives are situated. Namely, the stories selected for analysis are: "O ex-mágico da Taberna Minhota", "O pirotécnico Zacarias", "Teleco, o coelhinho", "Os dragões", "O edifício" e "A cidade". The theoretical basis for the work is composed of critical essays about the author such as Arrigucci Jr, Jorge Schwartz, Nelly Novaes Coelho, José Paulo Paes, among others. Also, part of the fantastic, magical realism and absurd's studies, such as Tzvetan Todorov, Jean Paul Sartre, Jaime Alazraki, David Roas, William Spindler and Martin Esslin. Moreover, theoretical propositions are used on categories of narrative such as Gérard Genette / Mestre

Buscamos analisar num primeiro momento, alguns fatores que influenciaram a escrita calviniana, como os movimentos de Resistência na Itália, que visavam lutar contra as atrocidades da Primeira e da Segunda Guerra Mundial e do fascismo, como também algumas características da estrutura da fábula, que podem ser identificadas no romance estudado, a partir das atitudes de benfeitor de Cosme que o qualificam como um herói, pois passa por diversas dificuldades e lutas em favor do bem comum de todos. Na segunda parte da Dissertação, evidenciamos algumas referências históricas feitas à Revolução Francesa e ao Iluminismo e seus pontos de intersecção com o contexto histórico, em que Calvino viveu período, que envolveu Guerras e movimentos de grande repercussão e repressão como: o fascismo, o nazismo e o socialismo; menções de espaços reais e de Instituições históricas e de referências a figuras históricas como: Napoleão Bonaparte, Rousseau, Diderot, entre outros. No final da Dissertação, apontamos certas características que aproximam Il barone rampante a variedade do realismo mágico metafísico, como, por exemplo, a decisão do protagonista, Cosme de morar sobre as árvores, entre outros eventos. Além disso, comentamos algumas significações alegóricas em relação ao contexto histórico da narrativa, que remete na realidade ao século XX, época em que Calvino viveu e sobre a alegoria do intelectual Cosme a partir da sua mudança de ponto de vista sobre as árvores, que induzem a reflexão pela necessidade da valorização da educação e pela...

In the second part of the dissertation, we noted some historical references made in the novel, about the French Revolution and the Enlightenment and their points of intersection with the historical context in which Calvino lived, involving wars and movements of great impact and repression as fascism, nazism and socialism; terms of actual areas and historical institutions and references to historical figures as Napoleon, Rousseau, Diderot, and others. At the end of the dissertation, we point out certain features that bring Il barone rampante variety of metaphysical magic realism, for example, the decision of the protagonist, Cosme living on trees, and other events. In addition, we discuss some allegorical meanings in relation to the historical context of the narrative which actually refers to the twentieth century, a period in which Calvin lived and about allegory of the intellectual Cosme from his change of view on the trees, which lead to reflection by need for enhancement of education and the maintenance of hope in human progress and technology to living in a more just and egalitarian society. Finally, we comment on symbolic elements such as tree space ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

This mode doesn’t follow a unique standard including even Science-fiction, Gothic and Magic Realism in one work. Since then, twenty years later after his revelation about Slipstream the mode hasn’t become a literary genre yet and littles has been discussed about the present subject. However, there are several questions and suppositions about what it could really be Slipstream and its characteristics to achieve the literary genre title. Although there are few affirmations around the topic, this present work aims to outline the contact point between slipstream and Magic Realism. Genre which shares much in characteristics with the present mode and also to define if Slipstream isn’t another name to Magic Realism. For such proposition, we have taken the literary character undead or nowadays called zombie for analysis. Therefore, we believe that the presence of this literary figure corroborate to the manifestation of the components elements and events of the genres here presented. As subject of analysis, we have taken the works “A case of the stubborns” (1984) by Robert Bloch, “Sea Oak” (1997) by George Saunders and “Incidente em Antares” (1970) by Érico Veríssimo. As theoretical support, Fred Botting (1996), H. P. Lovecraft (2007), Nöel Carroll (1999), about the horror in literature and to connect with the Magic Realism and the Magical Reality, Alejo Carpentier (1987), Irlemar Chiampi and William Spindler (1993) / Em 1989 o norte-americano Bruce Sterling revelou, em entrevista, ter encontrado uma nova categoria de gênero literário que combinava outros gêneros formando, então, o que ele chama de slipstream. Esta modalidade não segue padrão único, podendo até mesmo incluir ficção científica, gótico e realismo mágico em uma só obra. Desde então, mais de vinte anos após sua revelação sobre o slipstream, a modalidade ainda não se transformou em gênero e pouco tem se discutido sobre o presente assunto. No entanto, existem várias perguntas e suposições sobre o que realmente seria slipstream e suas características para alcançar o título de gênero literário. Embora existam poucas afirmações acerca do tema, este presente trabalho visa delinear os pontos de contato entre o slipstream o Realismo Mágico. Gênero este que muito divide em características com a modalidade em questão e também definir se slipstream não seria outro nome para Realismo Mágico. Para tal proposta, tomamos a personagem literário morto-vivo ou atualmente chamado de zumbi para análise. Pois acreditamos que a presença desta figura literária corrobora para a manifestação de elementos e eventos componentes dos gêneros aqui tratados. Como objeto de estudo, tomamos as obras “A case of the stubborns” (1984) de Robert Bloch, “Sea Oak” (1997) de George Saunders e Incidente em Antares (1970) de Érico Veríssimo. Como suporte teórico, utilizaremos as colocações de Fred Botting (1996), H. P. Lovecraft (2007), Nöel Carroll (1999), com o tema do horror na literatura e para a conexão ao Realismo Mágico e o Real Maravilhoso, usaremos as afirmações de Alejo Carpentier (1987), Irlemar Chiampi e William Spindler (1993).

I create spaces, that are presented as sets (scenographies), by working with storytelling, colour, geometry and transitions. By exploring tangible and abstract elements, I compose different atmospheres. Atmosphere is the central aesthetic category in my work, and creating an emotional experience through space is my intention. The spaces are inspired by a magic realist novel. I transpose the text into images, to then sculpt spaces with geometry, colour and light. I write new stories and descriptions about these spaces as I imagine the atmospheres to be experienced. Transitions are fundamental to my project: the transition of Latin-American references within magic realism and emotional architecture, to my own context at this moment in Sweden; the transition from text to space (and vice versa); and the transitions between spaces in my composition. These are my apparatuses in sculpting the emotional and magic space.

This thesis is a collection of nine short stories about real people dealing with unreal problems. In one story, a small-town man answers a knock at his door, only to find three wisemen, who have followed a star and proclaimed him as their new messiah. In another, a reporter travels across the snowy length of Canada looking to interview people who have witnessed the Virgin Mary materialize above Toronto. Deranged Egyptologists, vampires with diseased blood, wacky witches, and unhappy mediums all inhabit tales whose landscapes span the distance between Chattanooga, Tennessee and the afterlife.

This dissertation provides a detailed exploration of my creative process in the development and writing of my original young adult historical novel. Using excerpts from my narrative, I explore elements of craft, giving particular attention to the mining of ideas, the three-act structure, character development, chapter arcs and plot points. These features are discussed in relation to the ways in which they engage the adolescent and enrich the reading experience. Magical realism is investigated with regard to how it is incorporated into my narrative. This writing also includes an overview of how historical fiction is relevant for the modern reader. I outline my classroom strategies for encouraging students to appreciate young adult literature and generate their own creative writing in this genre.

The aim of this thesis is to present the specific notion of feminism and mythopoetics in the selected works of Angela Carter and demonstrate them on two selected works of Carter's, namely on the collection of re-visited traditional fairy tales The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories and the novel Nights at the Circus. The thesis also deals with chosen features of postmodernism these two works contain. In the first, theoretical part the author and her oeuvre is introduced, followed by the concept of postmodernism and its selected features. The second, practical part is focused on both books' analysis which attempts to establish whether and how the selected works show the features of postmodernism and to which extent it is possible to trace the notions of Carter's feminism and mythopoetics in them.
