As três faces do destino : castigo, transcendência e redenção em Guimarães Rosa /

Vital, Luisa Fernandes. January 2017 (has links)
Orientador: Maria Celia de Moraes Leonel / Banca: João Batista Toledo Prado / Banca: Vanessa Liporaci Chiconeli de Castro / Resumo: A necessidade de explicação sobre o mundo e sobre si próprio é algo que sempre estimulou a sede de conhecimento do homem e o impulsionou em busca de respostas para sua realidade. Sendo assim, os mitos, narrativas indispensáveis com alto teor simbólico, foram criados na tentativa de interpretar os desejos e terrores humanos. Estando arraigados em nós, os mitos e seu teor simbólico, apresentados através de mitemas, ecoam nas mais diversas formas de produção artística. A dissertação tem como objetivo tecer uma mitocrítica de três contos de Guimarães Rosa - "Conversa de bois", "A hora e vez de Augusto Matraga", ambos publicados em Sagarana, no ano de 1946, e "A menina de lá" de 1962, publicado em Primeiras estórias - a partir do mito de Er, explicitado por Platão, no "livro X" d'A república. A escolha desses contos e desse mito se deve ao fato de que em ambos estão presentes dois mitemas: o destino e o julgamento final sob o motivo simbólico da viagem e da morte, respectivamente. O destino, na obra rosiana, desenvolve-se no cenário da viagem e culmina na morte prematura das personagens Agenor Soronho, Augusto Matraga e Nhinhinha. Esse fim abrupto representa uma espécie de julgamento final, realizado pelo destino. Pretende-se mostrar que cada morte tem um valor simbólico diferente, a saber: castigo, redenção e transcendência. Por meio da pesquisa centrada na fortuna crítica de Guimarães Rosa, sobretudo os estudos de Benedito Nunes e Suzy Sperber, e com o apoio teórico da concepçã...

Ainsi, les mythes, des récits indispensables avec un contenu hautement symbolique, ont été crées dans le but d'expliquer les désirs humains et ses terreurs. Les mythes et son contenu symbolique, exprimé par des mythèmes, étant enraciné en nous, se montrent comme un écho dans la plupart des productions artistiques. Le présent travail vise à tisser une mythocritique entre les récits de Guimarães Rosa - «Conversa de bois», «A hora e vez de Augusto Matraga», tous deux publiés en Sagarana, dans l'année 1946, et «A menina de lá», publié en 1962 das le livre Primeiras estórias - et le mythe d'Er, décrit par Platon dans « Le livre X» de La république. Le choix de ces histoires et de ce mythe est dû au fait d'une analyse de deux mythèmes: le destin et le jugement final sous les motifs symbolique du voyage et de la mort, respectivement. Le destin, dans les écrits de Rosa se développe dans la scène du voyage et culmine dans la mort prématurée des personnages Agenor Soronho, Augusto Matraga et Nhinhinha. Cette fin abrupte des personnages en question est une sorte de jugement final prononcé par le destin. Il dévoile que chaque mort a une valeur symbolique différente, à savoir, la punition, la rédemption et la transcendance. Grâce à la recherche axée sur la fortune critique de Guimarães Rosa, en particulier les études de Benedito Nunes et Suzy Sperber, et le support théorique offert pour une conception anthropologique du mythe défendue par Mircea Eliade et Gilbert Durand, cette recherche vise à localiser et à identifier ces mythèmes dans le texte... / Mestre

Propertius’ use of myth in 1.20

Rae, A. Lyn January 1983 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to attempt to demonstrate the function of the Hylas myth in Propertius 1.20. The first chapter consists of a text and translation of the poem. Chapter 2 introduces the question of the role of mythological exempla in Propertius' poetry. It is found that while scholars recognize the relevance and importance of mythological material in other elegies they deny that the Hylas tale bears more than a superficial relevance to its context. Chapter 3 considers the poetry of the Monobiblos, to which 1.20 belongs. Three elegies are analysed so as to illustrate Propertius' purpose and methods in adducing mythological material in his poems. It is concluded from these analyses that mythological exempla not only illustrate the poet's portrayal of contemporary figures and situations but also contribute new elements that suggest or develop aspects of his theme not otherwise made explicit. Four general means by which Propertius adapts traditional mythology for his own purposes are noted. A study of 1.20, to which Chapter 4 is devoted, begins with a brief discussion of the Hylas myth as it was known in Propertius' day. Texts of Apollonius Rhodius' and Theocritus' versions of the tale, the two most important extant literary accounts, and several illustrations of the myth in art are provided. The main component of the chapter, however, is an analysis of 1.20 that attempts to reveal the skilful manner in which Propertius narrates the tale of Hylas, adapting traditional material with a purpose and method similar to that observed in his other elegies, and presenting it as a relevant and integral part of his portrayal of the contemporary figures and situation with which the poem is concerned. There follow an appendix and a bibliography. / Arts, Faculty of / Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies, Department of / Graduate
