Por essa razão, para preservar o que na obra literária faz dela sobrevivente, o objetivo de nosso estudo não é de forma alguma esgotar as visões que as obras permitem; pelo contrário, pretendemos contribuir para a abertura de mais possibilidades de questionamentos e de verdades acerca do dito e do não-dito intrínseco às obras do escritor estadunidense, no que concerne ao estudo de Bartleby, o escrivão, Benito Cereno e Billy Budd. Objetivamos em nossa dissertação investigar na escrita de Herman Melville os aspectos relacionados às personagens, as quais possuem destaque no título de cada obra, mas nunca são narradoras de sua história, de modo que são incapazes de ter domínio sobre ela. Nesse sentido, as personagens mais insinuam do que realmente dizem, estão no limite entre o dito e o não-dito. / L’écriture de Melville, même après tout le temps passé et avec diverses interprétations, alaissé inquiets les lecteurs et la critique. Pour cela, afin de préserver ce qui la permet survivre, nous n’avons pas comme but épuiser les visions possibles de l’oeuvre, bien au contraire, on prétend contribuer à l’overture des possibilités et des vérités à propos du dit e du non-dit présent chez l’oeuvre de l’écrivain américain, en ce que concerne les livres Bartleby, l’écrivain, Benito Cereno et Billy Budd. Dans notre étude, le but central est penser les trois écritures de Herman Melville à partir de leurs personnages-titres, mais qui ne sont pas les narrateurs de l’histoire, de façon à perdre le pouvoir de dominer le destin de l’écriture. De telle façon, les personnages donnent plutôt des indices que des paroles concrètes et sont entre le dit et le non-dit

My project examines the phenomenon of the hazy spaces on the periphery of the antebellum imagination that, while existing geographically at the very fringes of daily American life, are nonetheless active in the conceptualization, production, and representation of an idiosyncratic American sense of space: an anxiety of spatial fragmentation, formlessness, and modulation. In particular I am interested in Poe's “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym” and Melville's “Benito Cereno,” both of which deal with American transoceanic travel to the proximity of Antarctica and its surrounding seas. These gothicized nautical fictions demonstrate an important dialectic playing out in these extreme spaces: the oscillating experience of external and closed space. What becomes detectable in antebellum literature in which spaces of enclosure interrupt expansiveness are far-reaching, deeply-rooted anxieties of an ever-transforming American space at risk of fragmenting and necessitating reorientation via the sort of imaginary travel texts being examined.
