Sêneca Velho, nas suas Controuersiae (em especial, II 2, 8), revela-nos os possíveis influxos da retórica escolar na obra do poeta. Em nossa análise, demonstramos que a retórica está presente como uma forma de estruturar certas elegias (como as suasoriae) e que também é uma ferramenta útil para nos ajudar a compreender a obra (sobretudo, a relação construída entre auctor/opus/lector). Indicamos a presença de elementos típicos de diversos gêneros como a épica, a comédia, a tragédia e mesmo a poesia jâmbica: Ovídio parece deixar claro que essa "presença" é um fator constitutivo de sua obra. A confluência genérica resultante dessas relações discursivas está mais evidente em poemas programáticos, de cunho metapoético (através do topos da recusatio, por exemplo), mas também não se ausenta por completo das demais elegias. No constructum elegíaco elaborado por Ovídio nos Amores, a persona de seu poetaamante discute poesia enquanto narra as aventuras amorosas com a persona da puella, que se identifica com a própria Elegia (cf. Am. III 1). Nesse sentido, Ovídio nos mostra que, em sua obra de estreia, seu protagonista vive em um universo discursivo construído na pluralidade, no qual experimentar amores (as relações amorosas) proporciona a composição dos Amores (as elegias de temática erótica) / Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to show how, in Loves, Ovid retook and reworked material from several sources to constitute his work. Older Seneca, in his Controuersiae (specially in II 2, 8) reveals the possibility of some influxes from school rethoric on the Ovid's poetry. In our analysis, we indicated that rhetoric is present like a mean of structure some elegies (like suasoriae) and also like a useful tool that helps us to understand the whole work (mainly, the constructed relation among auctor/opus/lector). We also demonstrate the presence of tipicals elements from other genres like epic, commedy, tragedy and even iambic poetry: Ovid seems to reveal that this "presence" is a factor that openly constitute his poetic labour. The generic confluence that results from these discursives relationships is more manifest in programmatic poems, with metapoetical character (through the topos of recusatio, for exemple), but is not missing at all from the others elegies. In this discursive elegiac constructum elaborated by Ovid in the Amores, the poet-lover persona considers about poetry while tell us about his amorous adventures with the puella persona who identify herserf with Elegy (cf. Am. III 1). In this sense, Ovid show us that, in his first work, his protagonist lives in a discursive world based on plurality, in wich experiences in loves (relationships) provides the composition of The Loves (Latin erotic elegy) / Doutorado / Linguistica / Doutor em Linguística

This thesis examines the hair imagery that runs through the works of Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid. Comparative analysis of the elegists’ approaches to the motif, with particular emphasis on determining where and how each deviates from the cultural assumptions and literary tradition attached to each image, sheds light on the character and purposes of elegy as a genre, as well as on the individual aims and innovations of each poet. The Introduction provides some background on sociological approaches to the study of hair, and considers the reasons why hair imagery should have such a prominent presence in elegy. Chapter 1 focuses on the elegists’ engagement with the idea of cultus (‘cultivation’), and their manipulation of the connotations traditionally attached to elaborate hairstyles, of sophistication on the one hand, and immorality on the other, to suit an elegiac context. Chapter 2 looks at how the complexities of the power relationship between the lover and his mistress play out in references to violent hair-pulling. Chapter 3 focuses on the sometimes positively and sometimes negatively spun image of grey-haired lovers, as a reflection of the lover-poet’s own contradictory wishes for his relationship with his mistress; it also considers grey hair as a symbol of physical mortality, as contrasted with poetic immortality. Chapter 4 examines the use of images of loose hair (especially images of dishevelled mourning) to suggest connotations ranging from the erotic to the pathetic, and focuses on the effects the elegists achieve by using a single image to communicate multiple implications. The Conclusion considers the ‘afterlife’ of elegiac hair imagery: the influence that their approaches had on later authors’ handling of similar images.
