Para além de Penélope: a tessitura mítica e intertextual em contos da literatura brasileira / Beyond Penelope: the mythical and intertextual web in Brazilian short novelManesco, Lara Maria Arrigoni 04 October 2017 (has links)
O trabalho investiga o tema da criação artística em contos brasileiros do século XX por meio da retomada da figura mítica da fiandeira e também indaga de que maneira tal diálogo intertextual com o mito pode ampliar as possibilidades de leitura dos textos em análise. Para tratar tal questão, o recorte apoia-se em narrativas em que a imagem mítica da tecelã é reelaborada como criadora de textos, de receitas culinárias, de tecidos artísticos urdidos em teares modernos, ainda que em constante diálogo com o mito. A pesquisa busca revelar, em um primeiro momento, uma reatualização do mito das tecedeiras em narrativas específicas da literatura brasileira, a saber: A Moça Tecelã (2009), de Marina Colasanti, Desenredo e A vela ao diabo (2001), de Guimarães Rosa, Colheita (1997), de Nélida Pinõn, Penélope (1998) e Ponto de Crochê (2009), de Dalton Trevisan. Por meio da análise comparativa, pretendemos mapear os ecos míticos e intertextuais que dispõem esses textos numa expressiva teia (temático-formal), pois todas as narrativas selecionadas discutem o ato criativo e as referências à tecelagem, embora respondam de maneiras diferentes a essas questões. / This work analyzes the theme of artistic creation in Brazilian short novel in the 20th century through the resumption of the weaver mythical figure and also inquires how this intertextual dialogue with the myth can increase the reading possibilities of the text analyzed. The research seeks to reveal, in the first moment, a revision of the myth of the weavers in specific narratives of Brazilian literature: A Moça Tecelã (2009), of Marina Colasanti, Desenredo and A vela ao diabo (2001), of Guimarães Rosa, Colheita (1997), of Nélida Pinõn, Penélope (1998) and Ponto de Crochê (2009), of Dalton Trevisan. In order to develop this question, the corpus chosen discusses the mythical image of the weaver as breeder of texts, recipes and artistic tissues weaved in modern looms, even if still keeps constant dialogue with the mythical sources. Through de comparative analyses, we intend to map the mythical and intertextual echoes that order these texts in an expressive web (thematic and formal), because all the selected narratives discuss the creative act and the weaving process, although reply in different ways to those questions.

Die aanwending van die vier skeppingselemente as tiperend van die novelle / M.E. du PlessisDu Plessis, Maria Engela January 2008 (has links)
This study attempts to highlight the novella from a practical Creative Writing point of view. The establishment of Creative Writing as a teachable university discipline in South Africa is characterised by Creative Writing tutoring in various genres. However, there are voids to be filled in tutoring the nature of a novella and the writing thereof. The objective of this investigation into the novella is to propose a practical writing and theoretical novella approach for application in tutoring Creative Writing. The concept of a genre is investigated to place the novella within the genre categorisation, followed by research of literary sources to determine the origins, nature and historical development of the novella. This background information is essential for Creative Writing students (particularly on tertiary level) to gain knowledge of the literary tradition of the novella. The classical and modern novellas enjoy attention, while confusing terminology for the novella is placed in perspective as far as possible. Some novella definitions from different periods are presented to determine the common characteristics of the novella. These characteristics are important to describe the novella as part of my novella approach. It is essential to look at densification techniques that a writer may apply in order to highlight the novella with its concentrated structure as a particular genre. The four creative elements, event, character, time and space indicated in the title of the thesis, serve as point of departure as these elements are essential in all prose types. Based on this, the creative elements cannot define the novella specifically in their own right. A deeper insight into the writing techniques that the writer may use in the application of the creative elements to obtain the compressed structure of the novella is essential.
The densification techniques are discussed based on the deduced techniques in Veldslag (1965)
by Karel Schoeman. A personally created new millennium novella, Die Here III, is contained in Chapter 6 as a practical application of the densification techniques and a discussion thereof. As a time and culturally bound genre the prominence of event, character, time and space are subject to changes. Some of these changes revealed in the creative elements of Veldslag and Die Here III, are shown individually according to a sliding scale for each novella. The conclusion in Chapter 7 contains a proposed practical approach to the novella that the tutor in Creative Writing may apply. The approach to the novella involves three components: densification techniques for aspirant writers, possible shifts in the prominence of the creative elements and a description of a novella that also relates to the new millennium novella. It is important to emphasise that the approach to the novella does not contain fixed rules for the writing of a successful novella. The term novel approach hopefully disbands the idea of a fixed recipe. The same applies to the description of a novella in stead of a more closed novella definition by Karel Schoeman.

La ilustración como componente semiótico-discursivo de la novela corta (1900-1925). Análisis sociológico, artístico y literario.García Mínguez, Sebastiana 20 March 2007 (has links)
La tesis que presentamos se centra en la importancia que la ilustración como categoría semiótico-discursiva establece en las colecciones literarias de novela corta, que triunfan en España en los años iniciales del siglo XX. En los cinco primeros capítulos, se plantean aspectos significativos del mundo de la imagen ilustrada: una aproximación al decurso histórico de la ilustración, a su consideración como medio de comunicación de masas, y a su relación con las disciplinas artísticas clásicas como pintura y la literatura. También se realiza un análisis generalizado del ámbito y el mercado en que tiene lugar el auge de las colecciones de novela corta en sus diferentes variantes. El capítulo VI se dedica a un estudio semiótico centrado en las consideradas siete grandes colecciones de novela corta: El Cuento Semanal, Los Contemporáneos, La Novela Corta, El Libro Popular, La Novela Semanal, La Novela de Hoy y La Novela Mundial. / The thesis that we defend is focused on the importance of the illustration, considered as a semiotic-discursive category, within the literary collections of short novel, those who had triumphed in Spain at the beginning of the twentieth century. In the first five chapters, we propose some significant aspects regarding the world of the illustrated image: an approach to the historic course of illustration, to its consideration as one form of mass media, and to its connection with the classic artistic disciplines such as painting and literature. Moreover, we carry out a general analysis of the cultural realm and market in which the different varieties of short novel collections reach their peak. Chapter VI is devoted to a semiotic study that is focused on the seven greatest short novel collections: The Weekly Tale, The Contemporaries, The Short Novel, The Popular Story Book, The Weekly Novel, Today's Novel and The Worldly Novel.
