"Little Things": Chekhov's Children and Discourse in the Comic Short StoryGoode, Rich W, IV 17 May 2013 (has links)
While most critics agree that Anton Chekhov is a funny writer and much critical commentary about his comedic techniques identifies how Chekhov is humorous, none examines why readers find him so. Using the tools of cognitive science, this paper explores the cognitive processes behind humor and narrative, as well as Chekhov’s exploitation of them for comical effect in his early short stories – namely the very concise and blatantly humorous “Kids,” “Grisha,” “Vanka,” and “At Home” – and uncovers, in these early writings, the origins of his celebrated and oft-imitated authorial legacy.

A tragédia na ficção de Mário de Andrade /Gatto, Dante. January 2004 (has links)
Resumo: Combinou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentada na teoria literária, privilegiando o encontro da tragédia com a narrativa ficcional do século XX, no caso, a ficção de Mário de Andrade até, e inclusive, Amar, verbo intransitivo. Examinando-a diacronicamente (contos e romance), discerniu-se dedutivamente os componentes trágicos e nacionalistas que compõe sua estética e, por fim, indutivamente, aproximou-se esses elementos para configurar tal estética. Em 1923, Mário de Andrade dividiu-se em dois caminhos, esteticamente falando. Um deles resultou em Amar, verbo intransitivo, em que a reflexão racional e a selvagem e apaixonada manifestação dos afetos aparecem separados por limites formais bem precisos - como acontece na própria tragédia grega - e com uma personagem (Fräulein Elza), digamos assim, de desempenho trágico clássico, em que arroubos dionisíacos e sonhos apolíneos tiveram lugar no plano da narrativa. Este processo veio sendo contemplado nos contos de Primeiro andar com menos ênfase. O romance significou um aprofundamento dos ganhos obtidos anteriormente, neste sentido. O outro caminho estético teve como produto inicial Os Contos de Belazarte em que o sentimento trágico da vida se dilui no cotidiano das vidas sem relevo, sem aquela saliente separação entre razão e paixão. No plano da narrativa (enunciado) encontrou-se apoio fundamentalmente na filosofia de Nietzsche, privilegiando suas reflexões em torno da tragédia, desenvolvidas principalmente em O Nascimento da tragédia, do qual se buscou uma teoria organizada no sentido de configurar uma atitude trágica como experiência do cotidiano, adequada à modernidade... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: Agreed a bibliographical research based on the literary theory, privileging the meeting of the tragedy with the ficcional narrative of century XX, in the case, the fiction of Mário de Andrade until, and also, Amar, verbo intransitivo. Examining it diacronicamente (shorts stories and romance), one deductive discerned the tragic components and nationalistic that its aesthetic e composes, finally, inductively, one came close these elements to configure such aesthetic one. In 1923, Mário de Andrade was divided in two aesthetic ways. One of them resulted in Amar, verbo intransitivo, where the reflection rational and the savage and gotten passionate manifestation of the affection appear separate for well necessary formal limits - as greek happens in the proper tragedy - e with a personage (Fräulein Elza), let us say thus, of classic tragic performance, where dionisiacs ecstasies and apollonian dreams had had place in the plan of the narrative. This process came being contemplated in shorts stories of Primeiro andar with little emphasis. The romance meant a deepening of the gotten profits previously, in this direction. The other aesthetic way had as initial product Os contos de Belazarte where the tragic feeling of the life if dilutes in the daily one of the lives without relief, without that salient separation between reason and passion. In the plan of the narrative (statement) support in the philosophy of Nietzsche met, privileging basically its reflections around the tragedy, developed mainly in The Birth of the tragedy, of which if it searched a theory organized in the direction to configure a tragic attitude as experience of the daily one, adjusted to modernity, where the hero arrives exactly at a clear conscience of itself promoting a harmony between life and thought...

Estórias da subjetividade pós-moderna: configurações identitárias na prosa de ficção de João Melo / Stories of post-modern subjectivity: Identity configurations in prose fiction of João MeloSantos, Emanuelle Rodrigues dos 11 August 2010 (has links)
Frente à importância do papel conferido a literatura no processo de formação nacional desse país, o presente trabalho investiga que tipo de sujeito é representado pelas personagens da ficção em prosa publicada pelo do escritor angolano João Melo entre os anos de 1999 e 2009. Através da análise dos contos que compõe todo o corpo de prosa de ficção produzido por Melo, conclui-se, que as configurações identitárias presentes ao longo de suas obras constituem aquilo que o teórico britânico Stuart Hall chama de sujeito pós-moderno, cuja subjetividade é moldada pela dominante histórica e cultural da pósmodernidade, fruto do desenvolvimento do capitalismo tardio em Angola. / Given the importance of the role of literature for the process of national formation of this country, the present work investigates what kind of subject is represented by the characters of the prose fiction published by the Angolan writer João Melo between 1999 and 2009. Through the analysis of the short stories that compose the whole of the prose fiction produced by Melo, it is concluded that the identity configurations found in his works constitute what the British theorist Stuart Hall calls post-modern subject, whose subjectivity is formed by the historical and cultural dominant of post-modernity, result of the development of the late capitalism in Angola.

Julio Ramón Ribeyro: a tentação da palavra / Julio Ramon Ribeyro: the temptation of the wordJutgla, Ana Cristina 11 April 2012 (has links)
O trabalho Julio Ramón Ribeyro: a tentação da palavra tem por objetivo analisar cinco contos do autor peruano (1929-1994), cuja obra se destaca entre os narradores da Geração de 50 daquele país andino, estendendo-se até meados dos anos 90. Nossa hipótese entende que o caráter ambíguo de seus contos, clássico na exposição da matéria literária, mas moderno pelas tensões da trama, dialoga com o conservador processo de modernização peruano. Nesse sentido, sua literatura abrange, entre outras questões, a preocupação do autor com respeito às contradições da cidade de Lima, e seus personagens, espectadores desse processo, trazem como marca recorrente a frustração e o fracasso de suas expectativas. / The study \"Julio Ramon Ribeyro: the temptation of the word\" aims to examine five short stories of this Peruvian author (1929-1994), whose work stands out among the narrators of the 50s generation of that Andean country, extending to the mid 90s. Our hypothesis considers the ambiguous nature of his short stories, its classic way of work, but it brings tensions of the modern plot and dialogues with the conservative modernization process in Peru. In this sense, his literature includes, among other issues, the author\'s concern with respect to the contradictions of the city of Lima, and its characters which are viewers of this process, carrying the frustration and failure of their expectations as marks.

As infâncias de Clarice Lispector: estudo da construção literária da infância em contos adultos e infantis / Clarice Lispectors childhoods: study of the literary construction of childhood in adults and childrens short storiesGuimarães, Mell Sauter Brites 23 October 2017 (has links)
Este projeto propõe o estudo da construção literária da infância nos contos Os desastres de Sofia, Felicidade clandestina, Restos do Carnaval e Cem anos de perdão e nos livros infantis O mistério do coelho pensante, A mulher que matou os peixes, A vida íntima de Laura, Como nasceram as estrelas e Quase de verdade. A partir da investigação das imagens de infância que se formam nos quatro contos memorialísticos e nos cinco livros infantis de Clarice Lispector, será possível comparar os dois blocos de estudo e assim reconstituir, pela singularidade das vozes narrativas, as diferentes visões desse período da vida em sua produção. Dessa forma, pretendemos compor um panorama abrangente desse tema e entender de que forma a infância se relaciona a outros aspectos de grande relevância nos textos da autora, contribuindo para a compreensão de um viés importante e ainda pouco estudado da obra clariciana. / The present work proposes the study of the literary construction of childhood in the short stories Os desastres de Sofia, Felicidade clandestina, Restos do Carnaval and Cem anos de perdão and children\'s books O mistério do coelho pensante, A mulher que matou os peixes, A vida íntima de Laura, Como nasceram as estrelas and Quase de verdade. From the investigation of the childhood images that form in Clarice Lispector\'s four memoir short stories and five children\'s books, it will be possible to compare the two blocks of study and thus reconstitute, by the singularity of the narrative voices, the different visions of this period of life in her production. Thus, we intend to compose a comprehensive panorama of this theme and to understand how childhood relates to other aspects of great relevance in the author\'s texts, contributing to the understanding of an important and still little studied bias of the Clarician\'s work.
