No. of bitstreams: 1 paulorobertocardinelliwebler.pdf: 834209 bytes, checksum: 4a5a59e290ed8cc0d4d8dc1016d75547 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-07-30 / FAPEMIG - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais / Este estudo procura evidenciar o sentimento religioso que atravessa o universo ficcional de Saul Bellow. Nessa perspectiva, foi feita a seleção de quatro expressivos romances de Bellow para uma análise mais detalhada. Uma escolha que permite a observação de diferentes formas de abertura para o âmbito do transcendente, visto que cada um dos protagonistas de Bellow faz isso de modo muito próprio. Mais precisamente, a partir das suas circunstâncias, das suas vivências, dos seus pensamentos e ainda das suas intuições. Ocorre que esses personagens empreendem, invariavelmente, uma jornada ao conhecimento de si mesmo. Quanto à análise desses textos, ela gira em torno de dois eixos. O primeiro deles é o tema da morte, ou da mortalidade, certamente o tema que é mais fundamental nas criações literárias de Bellow. A respeito do segundo eixo, este é o tema do espírito, ou da alma, também fundamental, e que aparece geralmente vinculado ou subordinado ao tema da morte. Para subsidiar essas análises, não se abre mão de utilizar referências biográficas de Bellow e comentários da crítica literária sobre a sua produção textual. Recursos que se apresentam convenientes para este trabalho de aproximação do complexo e refratário estro bellowiano. / This study attempts to show the religious feeling that permeates the fictional universe of Saul Bellow. To this end, four expressive novels by Bellow were selected for more detailed analysis. This choice enables us to observe different forms of opening for the field of the transcendental, since each of Bellow’s protagonists does this in a particular way, or, more precisely, according to their circumstances, to their experiences, to their thoughts, and also to their intuitions. It happens that these characters invariably undertake a journey in search of self-knowledge. As to the analysis of these texts, it is carried out around two central themes. The first is that of death, or mortality, undoubtedly the most fundamental theme in the literary works of Bellow. The second is that of the spirit, or soul, which is also fundamental and generally linked or subordinated to the theme of death. To substantiate this analysis, we have used bibliographical references of Bellow and comments by literary critics on his writing, which are appropriate resources for this work which attempts to come to grips with the complex and intractable inspiration of Bellow.

Aproximações de Dangling Man (um homen involuntariamente inoportuno) de Saul Bellow: literatura, filosofia, história e judaísmo / Approaches of Dangling Man (a man involuntary inappropriate) by Saul Bellow: literature, philosophy, history and judaism

Vaidergorn, Ricardo 30 November 2009 (has links)
A pesquisa sintetiza as diversas linguagens promovidas por Saul Bellow, escritor judeu norte-americano, Prêmio Nobel de Literatura (1976) em seu primeiro romance, Dangling Man. A narrativa é redigida em forma de diário, onde Joseph, o herói, reinterpreta o seu cotidiano em Chicago, enquanto aguarda o desenlace burocrático relativo ao seu engajamento militar. O momento histórico da Segunda Grande Guerra transparece como cenário de fundo e permeia o clima dos relatos de Joseph. A abordagem proposta incursiona no panorama da crítica norte-americana a partir do lançamento do romance em 1944 até o presente, esmiuçando o que veio a se constituir uma nova perspectiva literária e um novo movimento de vanguarda intelectual. Finalmente, o trabalho reflete sobre as diferentes manifestações do judaico ao longo do romance de Bellow. / The research synthesizes the different language styles promoted by Saul Bellow, the American Jewish writer and winner of the Nobel Prize (1976) in his first novel, Dangling Man. The narrative is written in a daily record form, where Joseph, the hero, interprets his daily life in Chicago, while awaiting the outcome of the long bureaucratic process of his enrollment in the army. The historical moment of the II Word War appears as the back scenario, imprinting an atmosphere of suspense in Josephs reports. The research analyses the extensive gamut of American Literary criticism, from the very moment of the publication of the novel in 1944 until nowadays, trying to illuminate what has become a new literary perspective and vanguard trend. Finally, the exposition reflects on the different manifestation of Judaism throughout Bellows novel.

Saul Bellow's Creation of Ambiguity and Deception in Herzog and The Dean's December

Banks, Paul J. (Paul Jerome) 08 1900 (has links)
Argues that Bellow purposefully creates ambiguity and deception using impersonal narration and free indirect discourse in order to present Herzog and The Dean's December as reflections of an ambiguous and deceptive world. The discussion of impersonal narration is based on Wayne Booth's theories about the confusion of distance resulting from impersonal narration; the discussion of free indirect discourse is drawn from a number of definitions. Utilizes a number of specific references to the texts and to criticisms of the texts to demonstrate the absence of norms and the effect that the ambiguity and deception may have on readers.

The provocation of Saul Bellow : perfectionism and travel in The adventures of Augie March and Herzog

Atkinson, Adam, Humanities & Social Sciences, Australian Defence Force Academy, UNSW January 2007 (has links)
A consistent feature of Saul Bellow???s fiction is the protagonist???s encounter with one or more teaching figures. Dialogue with such individuals prompts the Bellovian protagonist to reject his current state of selfhood as inadequate and provokes him to re-form as a new person. The teacher figure offers a better self to which the protagonist is attracted; or, more frequently in Bellow, the protagonist is repelled by both his teacher and his own current state to form a new, previously unrepresented self. This thesis argues that Bellow???s self inherits and modifies the perfectionist philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, in a literary reinterpretation that parallels Stanley Cavell???s philosophical revaluation of the American Transcendentalists. In Emerson and Thoreau, and in Cavell???s reading of perfectionism, the self is attracted onward only by a better representation of selfhood in another, while Bellow???s self may also be, and often is, provoked by a repellent other to inhabit a new form of selfhood. This thesis takes the evolution of selfhood in Bellow to be structured by travel. In The Adventures of Augie March, Augie???s movement between selves is impelled by conversation with teacher figures and paralleled by his unending journeys. In Herzog, Herzog???s self-transformations and travels are provoked by reading and writing, and by the ecstasy of loss revealed to him through apostrophic conversations with the dead and absent in a series of unsent and mental letters. Letter-writing, the provocation for Herzog???s self-perfection, becomes a form of travel in Herzog. This thesis further argues that Bellow???s travelling self is a critical response to two poles of modern subjectivity, structured by European mythologies of travel: Bellow???s fiction is critical, first, of a Hegelian, egoist mode of selfhood structured after the Odyssey; but equally critical of examples of Levinasian openness to the Other, patterned on Abraham???s exile. Bellow does not accept either the Odyssean or the Abrahamic mode of selfhood on its own, recognizing oppressive possibilities in both. Travelling selfhood in Bellow, initiated by conversation with others, both fuses and rereads Odyssean and Abrahamic constructs within a new, but perpetually unfinished American mode of selfperfection.
