Esta dissertação tenciona fazer uma leitura da obra Il Canzoniere, de Umberto Saba, com base na linha tensiva descendente que se inicia na coletânea Trieste e una donna (1910-1912), e cujo ponto de menor temperatura é Cose leggere e vaganti (1920). Procuramos focar nossa leitura nas tensões e ambivalências que perpassam a produção poética do triestino nesse período. Desse modo, o trabalho está estruturado em três capítulos: no primeiro, centramos atenção em Trieste e una donna e tentamos compreender como se estabelece a relação de confluencia entre o eu-lírico e o sensível, como busca de apreensão da elementaridade das coisas e conseqüente aceitação da vida em toda sua variedade; no segundo, tratamos de La serena disperazione(1913-1915) e Poesie scritte durante la guerra (1917), mantendo o foco na dinâmica entre permanência e ruptura, e tendo como base os motivos da tentativa de recuperação de recursos usados em coletâneas anteriores; no terceiro, abordamos Cose leggere e vaganti, com vistas a tentar entender a aparente leveza que perpassa a coletânea, e mostrar como, em última instância, subjaz nela a oposição entre peso e leveza. Com o presente trabalho, procuramos evidenciar, assim, que a linha descendente de tensão estaria, em última instância, associada à tentativa de fuga da dor e do sofrimento. / This dissertation intends to read the work Il Canzoniere, by Umberto Saba, based on the tensed descendent line which begins with the collection Trieste e una donna, and which point of lower temperature is Cose leggere e vaganti. We sought to focus our reading in the tensions and the ambivalence that go across the poetic production of the Triestian in such period. So, this work is structured in three chapters: on the first one, we centered the attention in Trieste e una donna and tried to understand how the confluent relation between the lyric-self and the sensory is established, as we seek to seize the elementary things and its consequent acceptance of life in all its variety; on the second one, we approached La serena disperazione and Poesie scritte durante la guerra, keeping the focus on the dynamics between permanence and rupture, being based on the motives to attempt the recall of the resources used in previous collections; on the third one, we approached Cose leggere e vaganti, in order to attempt to understand the apparent lightness which goes along the collection, and to show how, in a last stage, it is underlain the opposition between weight and lightness. Within this work, we seek to emphasize that the descendent tension line would be, in a last level, associated to the scape of pain and suffering.

abstract: The following thesis tries to rescue the novels Sab and Dos mujeres, written by the XIX century writer Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, from the hegemonic discourse offered by the contemporary critics. This is possible by comparing the Epistolar novel Tu amante ultrajada no puede ser tu amiga with the two novels analyzed. Also, this thesis examines the epistolary novel as a set of documents that creates a literary work on their own. That is to say, it studies how these letters, written to her lovers during the years 1839 to 1854, create an autobiographical fiction, a novel of the romantic period, and a character that makes a myth out of the writer and poet Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Spanish 2016

Vad denna utvärdering försökt få svar på är hur tillgängligheten för HBT-litteratur ser ut i de system som används hos privata och offentliga aktörer – internetbokhandlar och bibliotekskataloger tillgängliga via internet. Detta medförde ett antal mer praktiskta underliggande frågor om hur trädstrukturen är designad, vilket typ av språk som används och hur lätt det är att förstå, huruvida det finns särskilda kategorier för litteratur med HBT-innehåll och huruvida det finns direktlänkar mellan litteratur med HBT- innehåll. De system som testades var internetbokhandlarna Amazon (både den amerikanska versionen och det brittiska dotterbolaget), The Book Depository och Adlibris samt de klassificeringssystem som används av nationalbiblioteken i de länder där dessa bokhandlar har sitt säte (USA, Storbritannien och Sverige): Library of Congress Classification, Dewey Decimal Classification och Klassifikationssystem för svenska bibliotek. Två av bibliotekssystemen (LC och DDC) hade inte en trädstruktur som var tillgänglig för kunderna att se och navigera igenom, medan den tredje (SAB) erbjöd en struktur med både klassifikationskoden och svenska ord, även om det inte var optimalt konstruerade kategorier och förgreningar. Ingen av dem hade gott om länkar, om ens några, till annan litteratur med liknande innehåll. Internetbokhandlarna hade välutvecklade men inte för specifika trädstrukturer med lättförstådda namn och gott om länkar till annan litteratur. Två av dem (The Book Depository och Adlibris) hade inga huvudkategorier tillägnade HBT-material vilket däremot Amazon UK och Amazon US hade. Alla bibliotekssystemen skulle behöva omarbetas för att tillgängligheten för litteratur, och i synnerhet HBT-litteratur som var fokus i denna utvärdering, ska bli god. Library of Congress och British Library skulle behöva upprätta trädstrukturer för kunderna att använda sig av och alla tre behöver se till att en kategori där all HBT- litteratur samlas finns på den högsta nivån. Internetbokhandlarna å andra sidan behöver inte göra mycket för att tillgängligheten i deras system ska bli god: Adlibris och The Book Depository behöver precis som bibliotekssystemen upprätta en HBT-kategori i trädstrukturen men i övrigt är de privata aktörerna fullt godkända. De båda Amazon- filialerna var de aktörer visade sig ha den bästa tillgängligheten av alla. / What this investigation has tried to find out is how easily availabie LGBT literature is in the systems that are used by private companies and the public sector - online book shops and library catalogues available online (OPACs). This entailed a number of more practical underlying factors regarding the design of the tree structure, what kind of language is used and how easy it is to understand, whether or not there are special categories for LGBT-related literature and whether or not there are direct links between literature with LGBT content. The systems investigated were the online book shops Amazon (both the American version and the British subsidiary), The Book Depository and Adlibris along with the classification systems used by the national libraries in the countries where these book shops reside (the US, the UK and Sweden): Library of Congress Classification (LC), Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) and Klassifikationssystem för svenska bibliotek (SAB). Two of the library systems (LC and DDC) did not have a tree structure available for the customers to see and navigate through, while the third one (SAB) offered a structure with both the classification code and Swedish words explaining what the codes meant, even if the categories and subdivisions were not optimally constructed. None of them had very many links to other literature. Two of them (The Book Depository and Adlibris) did not have main categories specifically for LGBT content which both Amazon US and Amazon UK did. All the library systems could use a revision to ensure that literature, and particularly LGBT literature as that was the focal point of this investigation, is easily available. The Library of Congress and the British Library need to establish a tree structure their clients could use and all three need to make sure they have a category where LGBT literature is collected and available at the root. The online book shops on the other hand do not need to do much to improve the availability of their systems: like the library systems, Adlibris and The Book Shop need to create a category of LGBT literature in the tree structure but besides that the private companies pass with credit. The systems used by the Amazon branches proved to have the greatest availability of all the systems investigated.

The current work aims at comparing two abolitionist novels written by women in the XIX century, one is Úrsula by the Brazilian writer Maria Firmina dos Reis and the other is Sab by the Cuban writer Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda. This work aims at verifying how the feminine authorship became a political place to denounce the slave regime in Brazil and in Cuba in the XIX century. Regarding the comparative literature theories and applying the intertextuality and interdisciplinary comparative presuppositions, it was carried out an analytical study about the corpus. The relevance of this research lies on rethinking the feminine authorship role in the Brazilian and Cuban literature, as well as revisiting the political, social and cultural factors that guided each one of the authors during the production of their abolitionist works. The work analysis allowed us to identify that both writers had an important role in their national literature. Both Maria Firmina dos Reis as Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda were women who dared to make use of the pen and ink in a time that such practice was exclusive for men. Concerning the critics about the feminine condition, in Brazil and in Cuba, both writers raised their voices and made their writing a space to denounce the injustices lived by the eighteenth-century women in their countries. However, when referring to the racial issue, it was found that the abolitionist position in Úrsula is more connected to the defense of racial equality and altruistic issues, while in Sab, through the representation of a gentle slave, it is observed that the defense of the abolition is more connected to the criollo reformism ideals. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo comparar os romances abolicionistas de duas autoras do século XIX, a saber, Úrsula, da brasileira Maria Firmina dos Reis e Sab, da cubana Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, a fim de verificar como a autoria feminina constituiu-se como lugar político de denúncia do regime escravocrata, no Brasil e em Cuba, no século XIX. Para que tais objetivos fossem alcançados, realizou-se um estudo analítico do corpus, à luz das teorias da literatura comparada, utilizando-se os pressupostos comparatistas de intertextualidade e interdisciplinaridade. Esta pesquisa justifica-se pela relevância de se repensar o papel da autoria feminina nas literaturas brasileira e cubana, bem como revisitar os fatores políticos, sociais e culturais que levaram cada uma das autoras a produzir uma obra de cunho abolicionista. A análise das obras permitiu identificar que ambas as autoras exerceram um importante papel em suas literaturas nacionais. Tanto Maria Firmina dos Reis quanto Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda foram mulheres que ousaram fazer uso da pena em uma época em que esta prática era quase que uma exclusividade masculina. No que diz respeito às críticas à condição feminina, tanto no Brasil quanto em Cuba, as duas autoras levantaram suas vozes e fizeram de sua escrita um espaço de denúncia para injustiças vivenciadas pelas mulheres oitocentistas nos seus países. Entretanto, no que se refere à questão racial, constatou-se que o posicionamento abolicionista em Úrsula está mais alinhado à defesa da igualdade racial e a questões altruístas, enquanto que em Sab, por meio da representação de um escravo dócil, observa-se uma defesa do abolicionismo mais alinhada aos ideais do reformismo criollo.
