To do that, I take Michel Foucault’s concept of apparatus, and its development by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht and Giorgio Agamben, and describe the apparatus of engagement. The apparatus is described genealogically, through readings of Jean-Paul Sartre and Theodor Adorno. I show that the concept of engagement has three different meanings, which I describe as three levels. The novels Zero, by Ignácio de Loyola Brandão, and El otoño del patriarca, by Gabriel García Márquez, both published in 1975, are analyzed in what pertains to their narrators and protagonists, and the results are compared to the described levels of engagement. The conclusion shows that there is a presence of the apparatus of engagement in these novels. In the concluding remarks, the historical inscription of the novels is discussed, both relating to Latin American general history and to cultural and literary history. / Esta tese se inscreve dentro do projeto contemporâneo de escrever a história da literatura de um só ano, no caso o ano de 1975. Para tanto, toma-se o conceito de dispositivo, de Michel Foucault, e seus desenvolvimentos por Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht e Giorgio Agamben, e se descreve o dispositivo engajamento. O dispositivo é descrito de maneira genealógica, a partir de leituras de Jean-Paul Sartre e Theodor Adorno. É mostrado que o conceito de engajamento apresenta três acepções, descritas como três níveis. A seguir se analisam os romances Zero, de Ignácio de Loyola Brandão, e El otoño del patriarca, de Gabriel García Márquez, ambos publicados em 1975, no que se refere aos seus narradores e protagonistas, e se comparam os resultados da análise aos níveis do engajamento descritos anteriormente. Conclui-se que há a presença do dispositivo engajamento nas obras analisadas. Nas considerações finais, discute-se a inscrição histórica dos romances, tanto na história geral da América Latina quanto em relação à história literária e cultural.

Volume I. Part I describes the known versions of the Erec/Gereint story, giving whatever information is available about the circumstances of their composition. Particular attention is paid to the manuscript tradition of Erec et Enide by Chrétien de Troyes, to the place occupied in that tradition by the exemplar which was available to Hartmann von Aue, and to the two manuscripts of the French prose adaptation (showing the significance of the text contained in the unpublished Paris MS.). Part II is concerned with the highly problematical relationship between Erec et Enide and the Welsh story of Gereint fab Erbin. It is argued that the author of Gereint must have used a written source that was in a language other than Welsh. However, an important feature of Gereint is the technique of using formulas which, being Welsh, cannot have been taken from the (foreign) narrative source. There is evidence also of borrowing from a passage in the Historia Regum Britanniae, combined with material from Welsh tradition. Since the Welsh author used a technique of composition that will account for the differences between Gereint and Erec there is no advantage in supposing a lost common source. The disadvantages of such a supposition are that Chrétien's source may not have been a written text, and that it requires a belief in a whole series of coincidences to account for the total disappearance of the manuscripts. A final argument is available from the fact that Gereint incorporates information contained in a couplet which seems to be a later interpolation into the Erec text. Volume II contains the material (mainly text) which is to be read in parallel with the main discussion. The major item is an edition of Gereint fab Erbin (with English translation) marked in such a way as to show the different elements of its composition, and with corresponding passages from Erec et Enide set in parallel.
