Tais obras, quando observadas pela ótica do simbolismo, abrem uma gama de possibilidades analíticas que são ampliadas quando contrastadas com as fontes jornalísticas – principalmente O Pirralho, semanário irreverente de Oswald de Andrade e que contava com publicações de Guilherme de Almeida. Esta pesquisa buscou comprovar a hipótese de que, ao contrário do que acreditam diversos críticos contemporâneos de renome, tais obras não se resumem a uma arte mundana e de entretenimento burguês, mas apresentam críticas sociais muito bem definidas, embora não explícitas, por trás de citações de autores europeus, músicas, óperas, quadros, etc. Com esta intenção, foi possível reconstruir um panorama das transformações pelas quais passavam São Paulo da virada do século XIX ao século XX, tanto nos aspectos físicos da cidade quanto nos psicológicos da população. Seguindo por essa linha, são analisados os sentidos que o nacionalismo assume em diversos setores sociais e literários, assim como quais deles os autores carregam ao longo de suas carreiras, em geral, e nas duas peças, especificamente, como é o caso da paulistanidade. Este sentimento de pertencimento nacional paulista está incutido em uma sociedade já afrancesada desde os tempos coloniais e cuja valorização do cosmopolitismo ajuda a completar o quadro que se compõem as teias intelectuais paulistanas do início do século XIX. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa remonta, desde os tempos coloniais, a presença francesa no Brasil, identifica quais obras e quais autores foram importantes para a construção... / This dissertation aims to analyze historically Mon coeur balance and Leur âme, two plays written in French by Oswald de Andrade and Guilherme de Almeida in 1916 looking political, social and cultural relations in São Paulo at the time. These plays, when viewed from the perspective of symbolism, open a range of analytical possibilities that are magnified when contrasted with journalistic sources - mainly O Pirralho, irreverent periodical by Oswald de Andrade that had Guilherme de Almeida’s publications. This research sought to prove the hypothesis that unlike of what many renowned contemporary critics believe such plays are not limited to a worldly art and bourgeois entertainment but they show very well defined social criticism behind European authors’ mentions, songs, operas, paintings, etc., though they are not explicit. With this intention, it was possible to reconstruct a picture of the transformations São Paulo was passing in the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century, both in the physical aspects of the city as the psychological aspects of the population. Following this line, the ways that nationalism takes in various literary and social sectors are analyzed, as well as what the authors carry from them throughout their careers, in general, and in the two plays, specifically, as in the case of paulistanidade. This feeling of São Paulo’s national belonging is instilled in a society already Frenchified since colonial times and whose appreciation of cosmopolitanism helps to complete the picture that make up the São Paulo’s intellectual webs in the early nineteenth century. In this sense, this research dates from colonial times the French presence in Brazil, identifies what works and authors were important for the construction of the plays, how Guilherme and Oswald and used them to recreate and criticize...

This dissertation studies the use of the epic genre to legitimize totalitarian power. It focuses on the writings of a group of Dominican authors who worked at the service of the dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. Most specialists of the period agree that the wealth of texts produced by these men of letters articulated an ideological system that allowed General Trujillo's brutal regime to remain in power for three decades (1930-1961). Their governmental positions, as well as their prestige as writers and orators, granted them unrestricted access to the public school system and to the means of mass communication. They used this access to promote their notions of national identity, while naturalizing Trujillo's totalitarian power by building consensus in favor of what came to be known as "The New Fatherland." Their work in this respect was so effective that almost fifty years after the fall of the dictatorship their ideas about what it meant to be Dominican still plays a significant role in the anti-Haitian sentiment that fills the editorial pages of Dominican newspapers. These Trujillista authors and public servants, however, did not constitute a homogeneous front. An underlying current of texts produced by some them effectively departed from the main tenets of the official ideology, questioning the basic assumptions upon which lay its definition of dominicanidad. However, far from generating a unified discourse, they expressed divergent views on the Dominican racial and national identity. This fissure in the inner circle of power took the shape of a struggle between two generic forms in the field of cultural production. Whereas the dominant discourse followed the linear structure of the "epic of the victors," identifying the Dominican identity with Spanish culture and the Catholic faith, the oppositional texts incorporated the digressive form of an "epic of the vanquished," highlighting the contributions of the African diaspora to the emergence of a Caribbean consciousness. / text
