O brasileiro e o francês procedem à fusão de discurso da obra e discurso sobre a obra num movimento em que sujeito lírico e crítico (eles mesmos ficcionais) se encontram em permanente tensão. Entendendo poesia e crítica como atividades reflexivas fundamentadas na linguagem, as questões principais às quais pretendemos nos lançar são: a) Como se configura e opera pendularidade e indistinção entre discurso poético e crítico em Murilo Mendes e Francis Ponge? b) Como se configura a voz poético-crítica para se adequar a um ato de dupla face como esse? c) O que se depreende da aproximação ou do distanciamento da conduta lírico-crítica, levando-se em consideração subjetividade e objetividade? Nesse sentido, esta Tese busca ler comparativamente os dois poetas tendo por horizonte poesia e crítica enquanto atos indistintos, de caráter inacabado, em que autor e leitor participam ativamente. Assim, os poemas aparecem como atos que configuram uma prática literária, que é lírica, crítica e criativa, a um só tempo. No centro dessa prática, os sujeitos lírico-críticos manipulam a criação partindo de um corpo-a-corpo com o texto, como fica claro com as obras que selecionamos para este estudo: de Murilo Mendes, O discípulo de Emaús (1945), Convergência (1970), Poliedro (1972) e Retratos-relâmpago (1973); de Francis Ponge, Pro...

The Brazilian and the French merge the work's speech and the speech about the work into a movement in which the lyrical and the critical subject (fictional themselves) find each other in constant tension. Having the understanding of poetry and criticism as reflective activities based in language, the main questions we intend to present are: a) How is the pendularity and indistinctness between poetic and critical speech designed and operated for Murilo Mendes and Francis Ponge? b) How is the poetical and critical voice designed to fit a double-sided act as this one? c) What is interpreted from the approach and distancing from the critical and lyrical behavior, taking into consideration subjectivity and objectivity? On this regard, this Thesis seeks a comparative reading of both poets, having as an outlook, poetry and criticism as indistinct acts of unfinished character in which author and reader are active participants. Thus, the poems are shown as acts that design a literary practice which is lyrical, critical and creative, all at the same time. At the center of this practice, the lyrical and critical subjects manipulate the creation by jostling with the text, as seen in the pieces we have selected for this study: Murilo Mendes' O discípulo de Emaús (1945), Convergência (1970), Poliedro (1972) and Retratos-relâmpago (1973); and Francis Ponge's Proêmes (1948), Méthodes (1961), Pour un Malherbe (1965) and La table (1981). Therefore, poetry and criticism can be understood in the same meaning as poiesis, a construction that sets into crisis (whose etymological root is the same as the critical word) the lyrical, the critical, the prose, the poetry as well as an idea of closed literature and literary genders / Rèsumè: Ce travail a pour objectif d'observer comment opère le pendule entre poésie et critique de poésie dans l'œuvre de Murilo Mendes (1901-1975) et Francis Ponge (1899-1988). Le Brésilien et le Français procèdent à la fusion de discours de l'œuvre et discours sur l'œuvre dans un mouvement dans lequel le sujet lyrique et le critique (eux-mêmes fictionnels) se trouvent en une permanente tension. En comprenant poésie et critique comme des activités réflexives fondées sur le langage, voici les questions principales auxquelles nous prétendons nous lancer : a) Comment se configure et opère le pendule et l'indistinction entre discours poétique et critique chez Murilo Mendes et Francis Ponge ? b) Comment se configure la voix poétique-critique pour s'adapter à cet acte à double-face ? c) Qu'est-ce qu'on peut conclure de l'approximation ou du recul de la démarche lyrico-critique, quand on considère subjectivité et objectivité ? À cet égard, cette Thèse cherche une lecture comparative de poètes, en ayant pour horizon la poésie et la critique comme des actes indistincts, de nature inachevée, dans lesquels auteur et lecteur participent activement. Ainsi, les poèmes apparaissent comme des actes qui configurent une pratique littéraire critique, lyrique et créative en même temps. Au centre de cette pratique, les sujets lyrico-critiques manipulent la création par un corps à corps avec le texte, comme nous pouvons le voir nettement dans le corpus de ce travail : de Murilo Mendes, O discípulo de Emaús (1945), Convergência (1970), Poliedro (1972) et Retratos-relâmpago (1973) ; de Francis Ponge, Proêmes (1948), Méthodes (1961), Pour un Malherbe (1965) et La table (1981). De cette manière, la poésie et la critique peuvent être comprises au sens de la poiesis, d'une construction qui porte la crise (dont la racine étymologique est la même que celle de critique) du lyrique, du critique, de la prose.. / Doutor

I d.C.), fundamentado no objetivo de manifestar, em português, as peculiaridades da poesia estaciana. Para isso, a tradução foi precedida por uma análise das principais características do texto e por uma discussão sobre a natureza e o próprio papel da tradução, feita a partir de concepções contemporâneas desenvolvidas no âmbito dos Estudos da Tradução. Após a tradução, são apresentados comentários críticos e explicativos para cada um dos cinco cantos com vistas a discutir, destacar e esclarecer passagens mais obscuras, referências sutis e questões relevantes para a construção de sentidos no poema. / Abstract: This thesis proposes a poetic translation project for the first five books of the epic poem Thebais, by the Roman author Publius Papinius Statius (1st century AD), based on the objec- tive of expressing in Portuguese the peculiarities of Statian poetry. For this, the translation was preceded by an analysis of the main characteristics of the text and a by a discussion about the nature and the proper role of the translation, based on contemporary conceptions developed within the framework of the Translation Studies. After the translation, critical and explanatory comments were presented for each of the five books in order to discuss, highlight and clarify more obscure passages, subtle references and issues relevant to the construction of meanings in the poem. / Doutor

“Novel Conversations” examines how and why eighteenth-century novelists came to represent people interacting in ways that registered as lively and real. Speech had long been crucial in literary genres as varied as drama, philosophical dialogue, romance and narrative poetry; but techniques for representing speech would proliferate in the eighteenth century as writers gave conversation a new centrality in the novel, seeking to capture the manner of speech over and above its basic matter. “Novel Conversations” explores this literary-historical development with chapters on four writers who were especially interested in the technical challenge of recording vocal effects: Samuel Richardson, James Boswell, Frances Burney and Jane Austen. They developed a set of tools for rendering in prose the auditory and social nuances of conversation, including tone and emphasis, pacing and pausing, gesture and movement. I argue that their experiments resulted in a new “transcriptional realism” in the novel. This term describes the range of techniques used to craft dialogue that faithfully approximates the features of real speech, while remaining meaningful and effectual as an element of prose narrative. In developing methods to this end, eighteenth-century writers borrowed techniques from other genres, combined them, and invented new ones. One rich source was life writing, the broad category of documentary prose genres that both absorbed and influenced the novel form in its early stages. Writers also sought complementary techniques in drama, whose stage directions, tonal notations and cues about who is speaking to whom at what point in time could be readily adapted for prose narrative. The task at hand was to calibrate two often opposing styles: the empirically driven, transcriptional mode of life writing and the more overtly stylized mode of drama. Writers did so by developing two resources within the novel form: the narrator, who occupies a flexible platform from which to elaborate conversational dynamics with description; and print itself, with all of its graphic and spatial possibilities for shaping speech on the page, including accidentals, line breaks, and typography. What are in one sense formalist readings are complemented by a careful attention to the materiality of the manuscript page and the printed page. In approaching my primary authors’ texts from a technical perspective, I do justice to their experimental efforts to use writing as a technology for capturing voice: a recording device avant la lettre. This approach in turn gives me critical purchase to analyze the effect that this technology serves: detailed representations of characters operating in a lively, familiar social world.

The image of the Camorra in contemporary Neapolitan prose The Camorra or "the System", as lots of residents of Naples call it, is a criminal organization that has intensified its activities since the 1980s and today it affects all aspects of lives of people living in Campania. This thesis focuses on the impact of the Camorra on lives and work of contemporary Neapolitan writers, or more precisely, it describes the way the theme of the Neapolitan mafia is represented in their books. The authors of the analyzed texts are Peppe Lanzetta, Giuseppe Ferrandino, Andrej Longo, Giuseppe Montesano, Simone Di Meo, Roberto Saviano and Valeria Parrella. For the purpose of this thesis, we have chosen the works that are interesting in terms of genre adaptation of the topic and in terms of the characteristics of the main characters of each story. Following the behaviour of the main characters, we observe the direct impact of the Camorra on life in Naples and its influence on the mentality of its inhabitants. We aim to define the conditions under which the people ruled by the Camorra are forced to live and at the same time, we analyze how they face up to this destiny: whether they persist and hope for change or resign and leave their hometown to try their luck elsewhere, mostly in northern Italy.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a configuração de uma visão trágica do mundo na obra do escritor Rubem Fonseca. Para isso, em cada um de seus quatro capítulos é analisado um conto considerado exemplar no que diz respeito a essa configuração. São eles Madona (de A coleira do cão, 1965), O pedido (de Feliz ano novo, 1975), Mandrake (de O cobrador, 1979) e Meu avô (de Pequenas criaturas, 2002). O título da dissertação foi escolhido com base nos três principais fatores dessa configuração que são encontrados nos contos e que, combinados, dão a esses textos sua dimensão trágica. / This study aims to investigate the configuration of a \"tragic perception of the world\" in the work of the writer Rubem Fonseca. To do so, in each of its four chapters a short story considered exemplar regarding this configuration is examined. They are Madona (from A coleira do cão, 1965), O pedido (from Feliz ano novo, 1975), Mandrake (from O cobrador, 1979) e Meu avô (from Pequenas criaturas, 2002). The title of this dissertation was chosen based on the three main aspects of this setting that are found in the short stories and that, combined, give these texts its tragic dimension.

“Cerebral Imaginaries” examines the intersections between anatomically justified theories of brain function and the literature of Great Britain and the United States from the 1800s to the 1880s. The years that followed the heyday of philosophical mind materialism (in the late 1700s) but preceded the dawn of modern psychology (around 1880), saw the appearance of neuroscience as a discipline. This dissertation traces the literary impact and cultural constructedness of new theories of mindedness and human cognition that came in its wake. What anatomists, alienists, and amateur scientists hypothesized about the brain in these years served to unsettle many assumptions about the thinking self that underpinned Anglo-American culture: be it the idea of having a single, coherent mind, or notions of free will and rationality. In tandem with early neurologists, contemporary writers interrogated what having (or perhaps: being) a brain really entailed, leading to a highly creative cross-insemination between science and literature. From the British Romantics to the American Gothic and from early Realism to technophile periodical fiction, this dissertation demonstrates that literature not only reacted to the science of its day, but, in turn, directly influenced it by providing structuring metaphors, cognitive frameworks, and epistemologies.

O Rotting Sun is a pair of long narrative poems that leap, spanning over an epic-length manuscript—175 pages of prose block, lyrical verse, and projective verse. Its chief poetic-operational modes are: inclusion, fragmentation, textual destructions, intentional omissions, intentional misspelling, large narrative leaps; all of which engage a poetics of doubt and multiplicity. O Rotting Sun is a jarring and jangly poem of resistance, intended if possible, for being read aloud and argued with: a provocation of intense meditation, reflection, and when successful, disintegration of anger & agonism—followed by a reintegration of the reader back into a community of change and hope. These poems are an invitation to that hero’s journey which is sometimes painful, sometimes beautiful, sometimes both. I wish to welcome my heroic, wonderful, deep reader into this new world of O Rotting Sun.
