Fazendo retratos e experimentos : a performance da linguagem em Lygia Bojunga /

Ando, Marta Yumi. January 2011 (has links)
Orientador: Maria Heloísa Martins Dias / Banca: Sérgio Vicente Motta / Banca: Susanna Busato / Banca: Maria Zaira Turchi / Banca: Maria do Rosário Longo Mortatti / Resumo: Na presente pesquisa, realizamos uma leitura de duas narrativas ficcionais de Lygia Bojunga Nunes: Fazendo Ana Paz (1991) e Retratos de Carolina (2002). Na análise empreendida, verificamos alguns procedimentos experimentais relacionados ao fazer metalinguístico, operacionalizados pela autora em seu laboratório poético, a saber: a corporalidade verbovisual, a manipulação da linguagem poética e a construção do foco narrativo. Antes, porém, de nos determos em tais procedimentos, apresentamos dados sobre a autora e sua obra e colocamos em evidência a fábula das narrativas selecionadas e suas respectivas temáticas. Para a análise dos recursos experimentais mencionados, tomamos como fio condutor a noção de performance, em função da natureza metalinguística agenciada nessas narrativas, em que o dizer constantemente coincide com o fazer. É tendo isso em vista que analisamos o fazer escritural lygiano, considerando os seguintes aspectos: performance gráfica, performance linguística e performance enunciativa. Dando início ao exame desses recursos, detivemo-nos na estruturação verbo-visual, por meio da qual o texto, literalmente, se mostra, configurando inusitadas formas de interação entre texto e leitor. Em seguida, examinamos a manipulação da linguagem poética, levando em consideração a noção de jogo e os efeitos produzidos no leitor. Finalmente, analisamos a enunciação narrativa, em seus aspectos relacionados à articulação das vozes discursivas e à dramatização. Em relação ao primeiro aspecto, verificamos os modos como se opera a fusão e alternância de vozes no discurso; quanto ao segundo, em um primeiro momento, voltamos a atenção para a presentificação dos eventos narrativos e, a seguir, analisamos o caráter mostrativo dos signos em sua construção dêitica, em que se privilegia, no processo compositivo, o aqui-e-agora da enunciação / Abstract: Current research analyzes two fictional narratives by Lygia Bojunga Nunes, namely, Fazendo Ana Paz [Making Ana Paz, 1991] and Retratos de Carolina [Portraits of Caroline, 2002]. The experimental procedures with regard to metalinguistic resources, such as the verbal-visual configuration, the handling of the poetic language and the construction of narration point of view, used by the authoress in her poetic laboratory, are verified. Prior to such procedures, data about the authoress and her literary work are provided and the story of the selected narratives and their respective themes are given. The concept of performance, highlighted for the analysis of experimental resources, is analyzed owing to the metalinguistic nature materialized in these narratives in which narration often coincides with doing. Within the above point of view, Lygia Bojunga‟s writings are analyzed according to the graphic, linguistic and discursive performance aspects. Investigation of these resources is undertaken by studying the verbal-visual structure by means of which the text literally manifests itself and configures uncannily the interaction between text and reader. Further, the handling of the poetic language is examined, taking into account playfulness and its effects on the reader. Finally, the narrative enunciation is analyzed with regard to the articulation and the dramatization of discursive voices. Whereas in the first aspect, fusion and alternation of voices in the discourse are investigated, in the second, the presentification of narrative events and the demonstrative character of signs in their deictic construction are analyzed. Within the composition process the here-and-now of the enunciation is consequently enhanced / Doutor

Fagunwa in translation: aesthetic and ethics in the translation of African language literature

Adebawo, Modupe Oluwayomi January 2016 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of Witwatersrand Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts, 2016 / This study focuses on the aesthetics and ethics of translating African literature, using a case of two of D.O. Fagunwa’s Yoruba novels, namely; Igbo Olodumare (1949) translated by Wole Soyinka as In the Forest of Olodumare (2010) and Adiitu Olodumare (1961) translated by Olu Obafemi as The Mysteries of God (2012). More specifically, the overall aim of this study is to determine the positions of these target texts on the domestication and foreignization continuum. The study of these texts is carried out using a descriptive and systemic theoretical framework, based on Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS), Polysystem theory and the notion of norms of translational behaviour. The descriptive approach is extended by drawing on ideological and ethical approaches to translating postcolonial and marginalized literature. Lambert and Van Gorp’s model for the description of translation products is used in exploring the position of Fagunwa’s translated novels in the target literary system. A close comparative analysis of a number of extracts from the two target texts and their corresponding source texts is conducted in order to determine the approaches taken by both translators in their translation of the distinctive stylistic features of Fagunwa’s prose. Building on the work of Christopher Fotheringham (2015) in the field of stylistic analysis of translated African prose, this study describes and analyses the occurrence of shifts of formal literary features between these target texts and their corresponding source texts. This is done by employing Antoine Berman’s scheme of deforming tendencies and Anton Popovič’s scheme of stylistic shifts as the basis for the translational shift analysis. / GR2017
