Pierre Reverdy (1889-1960) é considerado um dos principais poetas franceses do século XX, apesar de ser pouco estudado no Brasil. O poeta idealizou e criou a revista literária Nord-Sud (1917-1918), publicando os artigos Sur le Cubisme, LImage, LÉmotion e Essai desthétique littéraire com os principais conceitos de sua reflexão estética. Neste trabalho, analisaremos alguns poemas em prosa da obra Poèmes en Prose (1915), buscando compreender a relação entre os conceitos estudados por Reverdy (imagem, criação, emoção) e a construção dos poemas, destacando os elementos que atormentam e aprisionam o sujeito, assim como as contradições e oposições semânticas e estruturais. Dessa forma, verificaremos também a contribuição de Pierre Reverdy para o gênero poema em prosa. / Pierre Reverdy (1889-1960) is consedered one of the most important French poets of the 20 century, although in Brazil, he is little studied.

In this paper, we will analyze some poems in prose of his work Poèmes en Prose (1915), trying to understand the relationship between the concepts studied by the poet (image, creation, emotion), and the construction of the poems. We will detach the elements and images which contribute to the themes tantalizing and imprisionment of the subject, in addiction to the semantics and structural contractidions and oppositions. In this way, we will also check Pierre Reverdys contribution to the poem in prose genre.

Édouard Dujardin (1861-1949), fondateur de la Revue wagnérienne et de la Revue Indépendante de littérature et d’art, n’a pas été seulement un théoricien du symbolisme, il en a été le praticien. Son œuvre littéraire entre 1885 et 1893 explore aussi bien le vers que la prose, en retrace les questionnements. Résolument engagée dans l’avant-Garde, elle ne s’attaque pas seulement à l’édifice du réalisme, elle remet en cause le modèle de la mimèsis dans une recherche formelle intense. Ainsi l’œuvre de Dujardin se fait-Elle, de manière exemplaire, témoin de cette crise du vers que traversait l’univers des lettres. Genres, formes et confrontation entre les arts délimitent ce parcours en trois parties, qui ne suit pas un plan linéaire ou chronologique, mais un questionnement spécifique déterminé par chaque ouvrage. Pour cette raison, nous avons commencé par son théâtre, qui soulevait la question de l’identité du personnage. Le prénom Antonia nous a ainsi servi de fil conducteur pour aborder la relation vers et prose, telle qu’elle se manifeste soit dans le poème en prose soit dans le vers libre. Dans une seconde partie, nous avons interrogé les formes, la prose poétique de ses nouvelles et de son roman, qui répondent partiellement aux critères définissant le poème en prose. Enfin, dans le cadre de la confrontation entre les arts, nous nous sommes intéressés au phénomène textuel Les Lauriers sont coupés, considéré par la critique comme un procédé de « monologue intérieur », puis au rapport entre poésie et musique par l’étude de l’ouvrage Litanies mélopées pour chant et piano, qui met en vis-À-Vis poème et musique. / Edouard Dujardin (1861-1949), the founder of Revue wagnérienne (the Wagnerian Journal) and Revue Indépendante de littérature et d’art (the independent journal of literature and art) has not only been a theoretician on symbolism but also a practitioner. His literary work between 1885 and 1893 explores verse as well as prose and traces back its questionings. Being resolutely engaged in the avant-Garde, it does not only tackle the structure of realism but also questions the model of mimesis in a sort of formal and intense research. It thus happens that Dujardin’s literary work testifies, in an exemplary way for that matter, to the crisis in verse that the literary universe was undergoing. Genres, forms and confrontations of different forms of arts define this course in three parts which does not follow a linear plan nor a chronological one but rather a specific questioning determined by each literary work. This is the reason why we started by studying his drama which raised the question of the character’s identity. The name of Antonia was thus used as a thread to tackle the relationship between prose and verse, as shown in the poem in prose or in free verse.In a second part, we questioned the forms-The poetic prose of his short stories and of his novel- which partly fulfil the criteria of the poem in verse. Lastly, in the context of the confrontation between the different types of arts, we focused on the text viewed as a phenomenon- Les Lauriers sont coupes- considered by critics as a form of “stream of consciousness” then on the connection between poetry and music through the study of the work Litanies, “mélopées” for piano and song, which confronts poem and music.

Cette thèse porte sur les codes sémantiques chez Ounsi el-Hajj et Georges Jurdaq en comparant leurs écrits entre le journalisme et la littérature. La thèse traite le rôle de la presse dans la propagation du symbole et du symbolisme dans le mouvement de la littérature. Ounsi el-Hajj et Georges Jurdaq se sont servi et ont profité de la presse pour pouvoir investir les symboles dans leurs essais. Ces symboles deviennent des moyens pour exprimer des intentions de traiter l’histoire, la religion, le mythe et le patrimoine. La thèse aborde les symboles et leurs significations chez les deux écrivains-journalistes ; le symbolisme ne se limite plus à la poésie uniquement en raison de l'ambiguïté qu’il entretient mais il la dépasse pour atteindre la littérature et en particulier la littérature de l’essai. / This thesis deals with the semantic codes used by Ounsi el-Hajj and Georges Jurdaq and it compares their writings between journalism and literature. The thesis deals with the influence of the press in the propagation of symbolism in the movement of literature. Ounsi el-Hajj and Goerges Jurdaq took advantage of the press to be able to invest symbols in their essays. These symbols become means of expressing intentions to deal with history, religion, myth and heritage. The thesis deals with the symbols and their meanings used by the two writers-journalists; symbolism is no longer restricted to poetry solely because of the ambiguity it maintains but it goes beyond it to reach literature and especially the literature of the essay.

This master's thesis deals with the analyse the poem in prose "Walled-in" by Brazilian black symbolist poet João da Cruz e Sousa. At the beginning it outlines the author's life and work. An insight into the starting points of Symbolism follows, accompanied by a detailed characterization of the essential features of its poetics as represented in the works by Cruz e Sousa. The analysis itself begins with the definition of the poem genre in prose and a brief outline of the content of the "Walled-in", which is a synthesis of the poet's artistic and life options resulting from being a black man. On this basis, I have determined the fundamental themes (Night, Art, Pain and Blackness), in which the poet's exclusion as an artist and as a negro. The initial intimate confession turns into a fiery speech that fights back narrow- minded artistic production of the period and the Negro discrimination.
