Como objetos de análise, foram selecionados a telenovela O Clone, de Glória Perez (transmitida entre os meses de outubro de 2001 e junho de 2002, no horário das 20 horas, pela Rede Globo de Televisão) e o Jornal Nacional, exibido diariamente pela mesma emissora. No corpus selecionado, foram identificados para análise três trajetos temáticos - falsificação e contrabando de mercadorias, uso e tráfico de drogas e clonagem. Com o emprego do método lingüístico e histórico, que busca descrever as sistematicidades lingüísticas e as regularidades discursivas no corpus selecionado, estabelecendo as relações entre a língua, a história, o sujeito e o dizer, a análise identifica como se constituem sentidos para a realidade e a ficção nesses discursos televisivos. A análise do processo discursivo dos três trajetos temáticos permite afirmar que telejornal e telenovela, embora tenham objetivos distintos e estruturas diferenciadas, constituem discursos complementares, por meio da atualização de uma memória comum e da formulação em mesmas formações discursivas. No discurso que reúne realidade e ficção, os programas analisados buscam o sentido único com o predomínio da paráfrase sobre a polissemia, o emprego de mesmas designações e formações imaginárias comuns sobre os sujeitos do discurso. / This dissertation aims at carrying out a discourse analysis based on the theory and the methodology of the French School of Discourse Analysis, with the same theme present in news programs and soap operas that are intended to show reality and fiction on television, respectively. O Clone soap opera, written by Glória Perez (broadcasted from October/2001 to June/2002 at 8 o'clock p.m. by Rede Globo de Televisão) and Jornal Nacional news program, broadcasted daily by the same channel, were selected to be analyzed. In the selected corpus, three themes were identified goods falsification and smuggling, drug use and traffic, and cloning. The analysis identifies how reality and fiction are constituted in these programs by making use of linguistics and historical methods, which aims to describe the linguistics systematicities and the discursive regularities in the selected corpus establishing the relationship among language, history, subject and the telling. The analysis of the discursive process of the three themes allows us to state that news programs and soap operas, although having distinct objectives and differentiated structures, constitute complementary discourses through the common memory updating and the formulation in the same discursive formations. In the discourse that is comprised of reality and fiction, the analyzed programs search for the unique sense with the predominance of paraphrases over polysemy. They also employ the same designations and ordinary imaginary formations on the discourses subjects.

Fictional characters who mistake reality for fiction can be considered as parodies, beings invented by the author to denounce the illusions of which they are victims. But this viewpoint is not valid if the novels in which those "mistaken readers" exist suggest, to the contrary, that reality is problematic; it is therefore impossible to judge the characters without "afterthoughts", since these characters, in a way, are pointing to the fact that the reality they live in is "unreal". / Such is the case with Madame Bovary and Don Quijote. These two novels, as a result of different "techniques", essentially tell their readers to be suspicious about what is "true" and what is "false". These are novels without a strong authorial voice, novels that speak more about how characters conceive reality than about reality itself, which remains in both cases a complete mystery. / This viewpoint can be extended into a definition of the novel, in terms of what it says (or doesn't say) about the world. And in fact, a novel doesn't say anything about the world, at least not directly. It could be described as "a machine" made from what the characters say. Obviously, such a machine cannot be taken too seriously, since nobody (that is to say no real person) is actually saying what is being said in its pages. But at the same time, by refusing to show the fictional world in itself, (by always showing it through the eyes of fictional characters), the novelist reminds his reader that the real world itself is inescapably ambiguous.

This investigation of Miss Porter's short fiction demonstrates that reality and revelation are predominant ideas in most of her writing. Reality for most of the characters differs from reality as the protagonist eventually perceives it. Through revelation of delusions-- both his own and others'--the protagonist may better deal with life's difficulties. These difficulties are represented, as secondary themes in the stores, by three repeated human experiences: initiation, subjugation, and alienation. Subsequent chapters of this investigation explore reality and revelation in relation to each secondary theme. Discussion follows the development of increasing extremity in one's difficulties in life, from the initiatory childhood encounters with human nature and society, to the subjugating troubles incurred through continuing maturity, to alienation and the encounter of death's possibility and actuality.

Neal Stephenson's 1992 novel Snow Crash depicts a world in which the more freedom the characters believe they have, the more control is actually being exerted upon them. I argue that Snow Crash parallels the world in which we are beginning to find ourselves today. In the modern world, we have the convenience of the Internet, which gives us the belief that we have a great deal of control over our environment. However, my argument stems from the idea that the freedom the characters believe that they are afforded in such a universe is actually another level of control being exercised upon them. I argue that our world is mimicked by the world of Snow Crash in a way that shows how truly little freedom we are given in our posthuman society. / by Monica Sedore. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2012. / Includes bibliography. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / System requirements: Adobe Reader.

This study is, by its intention at any rate, an attempt at assembling the scattered fragments of Can Themba’s life to make a composite being out of the various existing phenomena that shaped the contours of his life in both literary and literal senses. Given the disjunctive manner in which Can Themba and his work have been represented thus far, a combination of Historical and Biographical research methods will underpin the approach of this study. The resultant approach is the Historical-Biographical method of research. According to Guerin et al (2005, 22) the Historical-Biographical approach “sees the work chiefly, if not exclusively, as the reflection of author’s life and times or the life and times of the characters in the work.” This research is premised on the conviction that an individual is a constellation of multiple factors that play a pivotal role in the construction of their persona. These factors will be traced from his family background, early schooling, tertiary education, socio-economic conditions as well as his contribution to various newspapers and journals. While so much has been written about Themba and his work, there is no comprehensive biography of Can Themba as a person. Most importantly, the factors that contributed to his making as well as his breaking, or destruction, have not been interrogated in a form of comprehensive academic research. Rightly or wrongly, Themba’s meteoric rise into the South African literary canon is often traced from the moment he won the inaugural Drum Magazine short story competition. Themba became one of the most popular journalists and rose within the ranks of Drum to become the Assistant Editor. However, my research demonstrates that winning the Drum short story competition was the culmination of a literary talent that was developed and had been simmering for a number of years. Themba studied at the University of Fort Hare between 1945 and 1951 alongside the likes of Dennis Brutus, Ntsu Mokhehle, Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe, Mangosuthu Buthelezi, and many other prominent individuals. He was a regular contributor to The Fortharian, a university publication that published opinion pieces, poems and short stories. This is a vital component of Themba’s intellectual growth and it remains the least explored aspect of his life. As a result, what has been discursively documented by various scholars, writers and journalists, thus far, is a very parochial representation of Can Themba’s oeuvre. / English Studies / D.
