Este estudo propõe-se a analisar aspectos da obra do escritor mineiro Murilo Rubião (1916 - 1991), composta de 33 contos e de alguns textos esparsos. Após uma revisão bibliográfica da crítica sobre a trajetória de sua produção, pretende-se aprofundar e dar novas perspectivas à investigação da ocorrência da metamorfose, figura presente em quase todas as suas narrativas e essencial para entender a particularidade da \"literatura fantástica\", tal como aparece no trabalho do escritor. Como a metamorfose é recorrente nesse gênero e em suas variantes, este trabalho buscará mostrar suas singularidades na literatura de Murilo Rubião e rastrear as características que a definem. Além disso, também será feito um exercício comparativo entre a obra do escritor brasileiro e de outros escritores. Por fim, ao longo de todo o estudo, será analisada a discrepância que existe entre as duas linhas de força mais marcantes da metamorfose nos contos de Rubião - sua potência simbolizadora e sua tendência ao mero artifício. / The present material aims to analyze some aspects about the work of the writer Murilo Rubião (Minas Gerais, 1916 - 1991), which is comprised by 33 short stories and some scattered pieces. After providing a bibliographic review of the critics on the trajectory of his production, it is intended to deepen and to give new perspectives on investigating the occurrence of metamorphosis, a frequent feature in almost all his narratives and essential to understand the particularity of the \"fantastic literature\", such as it appears in his creations. Since the metamorphosis is recurrent in that genre and its variants, this study seeks to exhibit its singularities in Murilo Rubião\'s writing and to track its defining characteristics. Furthermore, a comparative exercise is to be done between the most remarkable power lines of the metamorphosis in Rubião\'s works - its symbolizing strength and its tendency to be mere artifice.

The study emphasis was the textual architecture that promotes text and reader interaction, text effect and reception, as a contemporaneity conjunction: genre hybridization and verify the tension actions in narrative linear and non-linear discourse in focus. In way to accomplish the general and specifics objectives of this research, some Miguel Jorge’s narrative texts was used in a way to analyze the theory and analytic fundamentals. From Miguel Jorge’s works, it was observed the construction process adopted by the author on the character’s constructions as a way to capture and silence them. Between a variety of theory authors used in this study, Alfredo Bosi, Aguinaldo J. Gonçalves, Boris A. Uspênski, Eleazar M. Meletínski, Gerard Genette, Robert Humphrey, Roland Barthes and Tzvetan Todorov had an effective influence on the critical thinking. / O objetivo desta pesquisa é desenvolver estudos teóricos e análise de narrativas curtas, destacando as instâncias produtoras de significação do discurso narrativo, observando o constructo textual de contos da obra Lacraus, de Miguel Jorge, perpassado por linguagens de outras artes, destacando o processo de emolduragem e montagem. A ênfase de nosso estudo incidirá sobre a arquitetura textual em que se institui a interação entre texto e leitor, efeitos de sentido, numa conjunção de ingredientes da contemporaneidade: hibridização de gêneros; ações tensivas entre linearidade/não linearidade no discurso em questão. Para que cumpríssemos os objetivos gerais e específicos deste estudo, selecionamos textos narrativos do escritor goiano Miguel Jorge e, por meio deles, aplicamos os conceitos acima destacados. Da obra de Miguel Jorge são extraídos os procedimentos construtivos adotados pelo autor na constituição das personagens inscritas em situações que, ora as aprisionam, ora as silenciam. Dentre os vários teóricos utilizados neste trabalho, destacamos os que tiveram uma influência efetiva em nosso pensamento crítico: Alfredo Bosi, Aguinaldo J. Gonçalves, Boris A. Uspênski, Eleazar M.

Cette étude a pour objectif d’éclairer la notion d’ensemble de nouvelles au sein de l’œuvre de Marcel Arland. Couronné par le prix Goncourt pour son roman L’Ordre, cet auteur a abandonné ce genre pour choisir la nouvelle puis a revendiqué le recueil ensemble. En nous appuyant sur un corpus qu’il a lui même considéré comme un triptyque composant un vitrail : Les plus beaux de nos Jours, Il faut de tout pour faire un Monde et Les Vivants, nouscroiserons approches narratologique, onomastique et réceptive pour mettre à jour les récurrences qui se tissent de nouvelles en nouvelles.Celles cisont discrètes et ne s’appuient pas sur le retour d’un personnage principal identifiable. Entremêlant traumas biographiques et récit fictionnel, Arland invite le lecteur à découvrir les instants de grâce que connaissent d’humbles personnages aux existences souvent morbides. Sous une plume au classicisme impeccable, Arland instille ironie et tragédie au sein de ses nouvelles pour laisser entrevoir au lecteur attentif un monde que le temps apaise enfin. Le recueil ensemble permet à Arland de construire un monde au sein duquel morts et vivants s’unissent en un chant commun. / The aim of this study is to enlighten the topic of «  Whole  of  short  stories  »  within  the  Marcel Arland’s works. Awarded with the « Prix Goncourt » thanks to his novel L’Ordre,  this author abandoned this literary genre, chose instead of it the «  short­story » one and finally claimed the « collection­whole ». Using  a corpus which he himself considered as a triptych composing a  stained glass­window : ʺLes plus beaux de nos Joursʺ, ʺIl faut de tout  pour  faire  un  Mondeʺ  et  ʺLes  Vivantsʺ,  we  will  intertwine  the  narratological,  onomastic  and  receptive  approaches  in  order  to  uncover the recurrences which are forged from short-story to shortstory. These are unobtrusive and they don’t use the return of an  identifiable  main  character.  Intermingling  biographical  traumas  and fictional narrative, Arland invites his reader to discover the moments of grace that humble characters, with, often, morbid existences, are living. Under a faultless classical quill, Arland instils  irony  and  tragedy  within  his  short­stories  in  order to let the attentive reader glimpse a world that time at last soothes. The «  collection­whole » allows Arland to build a world in which the living and the dead become united in a common singing.

This is a book of short stories with a critical introduction. In theme, the stories seek to find the border between the Midwest and the Southwest of America by focusing on Ohio and Arizona. Some of the stories seek to exemplify “experimental” fiction, while the critical introduction seeks to define “experimental.” In addition, the introduction theorizes about the role of setting in linking collections and characterization.

Si la littérature centraméricaine semble sortir du ghetto auquel elle a été cantonnée jusqu’à il y a peu, les écrivain·e·s ne bénéficient pas à égalité de cette amélioration de la visibilité des pratiques culturelles de l’isthme, qui tend à renforcer la marginalisation de certain·e·s au profit d’une minorité. À partir de l’étude du genre de la nouvelle, particulièrement développé en Amérique Centrale, notre travail cherche à identifier les divers procédés intra et extratextuels qui permettent d’entrevoir un ensemble cohérent au sein de productions diverses émanant d’écrivain·e·s marginalisé·e·s, ensemble qui pourrait être qualifié de littérature des marges. À travers une approche régionale et transnationale, nous analysons la marginalisation historique des populations autochtones et afro-descendantes ainsi que des femmes, avant d’observer le déplacement de cette marginalisation de la réalité à la fiction dans les textes littéraires. Nous nous intéressons ensuite à l’évolution des représentations littéraires de ces groupes marginalisés, permises par les (r)évolutions des sociétés centraméricaines, en nous appuyant sur la confrontation entre un pré-corpus de nouvelles retraçant les représentations de l’altérité d’un point de vue extérieur, et un corpus de huit recueils de nouvelles d’écrivain·e·s issu·e·s de ces groupes marginalisés. Enfin, nous observons à travers ces recueils de Moravia Ochoa, Quince Duncan, Luis de Lión, Zoila Ellis, Jacinta Escudos, Marisela Quintana, Lety Elvir, et Humberto Ak’abal, comment cet ensemble cohérent d’écritures des marges provoque une déstabilisation du canon littéraire par le moyen d’un ébranlement de ses valeurs hégémoniques. / If Central American literature seems to be emerging from the ghetto it has been confined to until recently, its writers don’t equally benefit from this improvement of the isthmus’ cultural practices’ visibility. Starting from the study of the short-story or cuento, a literary genre widely developed in Central America, our research seeks to identify the multiple intra and extratextual processes which allow discerning a coherent whole inside different productions from marginalized writers, a whole that could be identified as a writing of the margins. Through a regional and transnational approach, we analyse the historical marginalization of indigenous and afro-descendant populations as well a women, before gazing at the transfer of this marginalization from reality to fiction in the literary texts. Afterwards, we take an interest in the evolution of the literary representations of these marginalized groups, allowed by the (r)evolutions of the Central American societies, relying on the confrontation between a pre-corpus of short-stories that recount the representations of the alterity from the outside, and a corpus made of eight collections of short-stories by writers coming from these marginalized groups. Finally, we observe through these collections by the Panamanian Moravia Ochoa, the Afro-Costa-Rican Quince Duncan, the Guatemalan Kaqchikel Luis de Lión, the Belizean Garifuna Zoila Ellis, the Salvadoran Jacinta Escudos, the Nicaraguan Marisela Quintana, the Honduran Lety Elvir, and the Guatemalan K’iche’ Humberto Ak’abal, how this coherent whole of writings of the margins causes a destabilization of the literary canon by trembling or even inverting its hegemonic values.

With its perennial interest in the seemingly ordinary lives of small-town people, Alice Munro’s fiction displays a deceptively simple surface reality that on closer scrutiny reveals intricate levels of unexpected complexity about the fundamentals of human experience: love, choice, mortality, faith and the force of language. This study takes as its main purpose the exploration of Munro’s stories in terms of the intricacy of emotions in the face of commonplace events of life and their emerging possibilities. I argue that the ontological levels of fiction and reality remain in the realm of the real; these levels exist and merge as the possibilities of each other. Munro’s realism is explored in terms of its connection to possibilities that arise out of a particular type of fatality. The phenomenon of possibility permeates Munro’s stories. An investigation of this phenomenon shows a curious paradox between possibility and necessity. In order to discuss the complexity of this paradox I introduce the temporal/spatial concept of possibility-space and notions of the fatal. I describe the space that materializes in the phenomenal field between text and reader, and where the constitution of possibility becomes visible. This is typically seen in the rupture that is the event, where the event in itself offers a moment of release and epistemic certainty to the characters. I argue that through this release and certainty the characters obtain a radical, audacious sense of freedom and intensity of life. The stories examined have been grouped in a conceptual order that brings into view the central qualities of Munro’s fiction such as lightness, newness and sameness. These qualities are related to the act of recognition; they are elaborated through readings of a large number of stories from all the collections, including three stories published recently in The New Yorker. The dissertation concludes by highlighting these qualities in the tour de force “Post and Beam.” I argue finally that Alice Munro’s fiction recognizes life as possibility in a moment when it shows itself in its own remarkable sameness.

This thesis works towards establishing a legacy of influence between George Eliot’s “The Lifted Veil” and Henry James’ “The Beast in the Jungle.” Through an exploration of James’ relationship to Eliot’s oeuvre and a close study of the two works in tandem, it will become apparent the influence Eliot’s slight Gothic story held on James’ celebrated short story. Furthermore, this thesis will introduce another chapter of the growing critical tradition of studying the relationship between George Eliot and Henry James.

Orientador: Antônio Donozeti Pires / Banca: Márcia Valéria Zamboni Gobbi / Banca: Tânia Pellegrini / Resumo: Nossa pesquisa de mestrado procura apontar as relações entre a literatura e o seu condicionamento social em À sombra do cipreste (1999) e A coleira no pescoço (2006), livros de contos de Menalton Braff, autor brasileiro contemporâneo. A análise de orientação sociológica surgiu porque os contos de Menalton, ao mesmo tempo em que proporcionam uma leitura de cunho intimista pelas crises das personagens, linguagem poética, fluxo de consciência, emprego da técnica impressionista e expressionista, entre outros aspectos, integram em sua estrutura as formas com que as relações sociais, valores e orientações ideológicas interferem nas personagens e contribuem para a economia do texto. Para mostrar as imbricações entre texto e contexto, recorremos ao método analítico de Antonio Candido, a crítica sociológica, baseado nas obras Literatura e Sociedade (1965) e Formação da literatura brasileira (1997). Além disso, nosso embasamento teórico está centrado em outros autores que dialogam, direta ou indiretamente, com a crítica sociológica de Candido, como João Alexandre Barbosa, (A leitura do intervalo. Ensaios de crítica, 1990, e Alguma crítica, 2002), René Wellek e Austin Warren, (Teoria da literatura, 1965), Luiz Costa Lima (Teoria da literatura em suas fontes, 2002) e Octavio Paz, (O arco e a lira, 1982). Propusemos uma divisão do corpus em quatro frentes temáticas, Morte/Memória, Relações familiares, Abandono/Solidão e Embate social como método que auxiliasse a leitura dos contos analisados (treze no total). Essa divisão, contudo, buscou apontar o tema sobressalente em cada conto e não propor uma leitura estanque das temáticas, uma vez que, de modo geral, cada narrativa transita entre os quatro grupos. Para essa divisão utilizamos Tomachevski ("Temática", 1973) e o Dicionário de termos literários, de Massaud Moisés, 1974...

The sociological reading arose because Menalton's short stories, while providing an intimate reading because of the characters' crises, poetic language, stream of consciousness, use of impressionist and expressionist technique in writing, among others characteristics, also make implicit the ways in which social relations, values and ideological orientations interfere with the characters and contribute to the economy of the text. To show the connections between text and context, we've used the analytical method of Antonio Candido, the sociological critic, based on the books Literatura e sociedade (1965) and Formação da literature brasileira (1997). Our theoretical framework also focuses on other authors that interact, directly or indirectly, with Candido's sociological critic, as João Alexandre Barbosa (A leitura do intervalo. Ensaios de crítica, 1990, e Alguma crítica, 2002), René Wellek and Austin Warren, (Teoria da literatura, 1965), Luiz Costa Lima (Teoria da literatura em suas fontes, 2002) and Octavio Paz, (O arco e a lira, 1982). We have also proposed a division of the corpus into four thematic fronts, Death/Memory, Family Relationship, Abandonment/Loneliness and Social strike, as method which would help the reading of the short stories (thirteen in total). This division, however, sought to point the main theme in each story, but did not propose a reading of each theme tight, because each narrative moves among the four groups. To accomplish this division we've used Tomachevski ("Temática", 1973) and the Dicionário de termos literários, by Massaud Moisés, 1974. From these theoretical assumptions, we sought to ascertain which social... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Orientador: Arnaldo Franco Júnior / Banca: Maria Lucia Outeiro Fernandes / Banca: Lúcia Granja / Resumo: Neste trabalho, estudamos a presença e as modalidades da ironia em alguns dos contos de A morte de D. J. em Paris (1975), livro de estréia do escritor Roberto Drummond. Valemo-nos, para tanto, de três estudos teóricos sobre a ironia: Ironia e irônico (1995), de Muecke, Teoria e política da ironia (2000), de Linda Hutcheon e Ironia em perspectiva polifônica (2008), de Beth Brait. Também foram utilizados os seguintes aportes teóricos sobre paródia e riso, Uma teoria da paródia (1995), de Linda Hutcheon, e O riso: ensaio sobre a significação do cômico (1987), Henri Bergson. Nos contos selecionados como objeto de estudo "Rosa, Rosa, Rosae"; "Um homem de cabelos cinza"; "Dôia na janela"; "Os sete palmos do paraíso", identificamos uma utilização diferenciada da ironia, que, deste modo, vai do cômico ao dramático, passando, também, pelo absurdo na construção de uma perspectiva crítica instalada entre o texto literário e a realidade à qual ele remete / Abstract: This work presents a study on irony's presence and modalities in four short-stories of A morte de D. J. em Paris (1975), Roberto Drummond's first published book. The research is based on three theories about irony: Muecke's Irony and the Ironic (1995), Linda Hutcheon's Irony's Edge: The Theory and Politics of Irony (2000), and Beth Brait's Ironia em perspectiva polifônica (2008). The following theories about parody and laughter were also studied: Linda Hutcheon's A Theory of Parody (1995), and Henri Bergson's Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic (1987). The short-stories "Rosa, Rosa, Rosae", "Um homem de cabelos cinza", "Dôia na janela", and "Os sete palmos do paraíso" present a different use of irony, ranging from humorous to dramatic through the absurd to construct a critical perspective between the literary text and the reality to which it refers / Mestre

Dans les trois recueils de nouvelles publiés par Marios Hakkas (1931-1972) entre 1966 et 1972, la disparité entre les textes est manifeste. Trop souvent ignorée des critiques, elle s’explique par une diversité des approches énonciatives : les nouvelles-discours s’imposent au détriment des nouvelles-récits. Formellement construite comme un récit, la nouvelle prend de plus en plus la forme d’un discours à la première personne. L’objectif de la thèse a dès lors été d’étudier ce qui détermine une évolution faisant passer de la forme narrative, parfois convenue et idéologiquement marquée, à un type de discours non dogmatique, centré sur le sujet et libéré des contraintes formelles du récit.L’hétérogénéité des formes narratives est liée tant à la mutation des acteurs du récit que sont le narrateur et les personnages qu’au recentrage de la nouvelle sur la quête d’un savoir. Car c’est un énonciateur-sujet qui prend la relève du narrateur sans qu’on sache toujours très bien s’il s’agit de l’auteur lui-même, atteint d’un cancer, ou d’un être de fiction. Menant un travail d’interprétation dans le chaos des signes où il manque de disparaître, il tente de saisir sa propre identité, contribuant ainsi à refonder la nouvelle. Ce genre finit par s’enraciner dans une matière et sur une structure mobiles, se détournant de toute forme prédéterminée et univoque, privilégiant en tout cas une organisation ouverte aux affects et aux possibles. La nouvelle reprend vie et devient un énoncé vivant. / In the three collections of short stories published by Marios Hakkas (1931-1972) between 1966 and 1972, the discrepancy between the texts is obvious. Too often overlooked by critics, it can be explained by a wide range of enunciative approaches: discourse-short stories establish themselves at the expense of narrative-short stories. Formally built as a narrative, the short story looks more and more like a first-person speech. The aim of the thesis has been from then on to study what determines the evolution from the narrative form, sometimes conventional and ideologically committed, to a non-dogmatic speech, focused on the subject and relieved from the narrative’s formal constraints. The heterogeneity of narrative forms is related to both the transformation of story actors, namely the narrator and the characters, and to the short story being focused on a search of knowledge. For it is a subject-enunciator who takes over from the narrator without being clearly known whether he is the author himself, affected by a cancer, or a fictional being. Engaging in an interpretation through the chaos of signs where he nearly disappears, he tries to grasp his own identity, thus contributing to the short story’s rebuilding. This genre ends up taking root in a material and on a structure, that are both mobile, turning away from any predetermined and unequivocal form, privileging in any case an organization which is open to affects and to the possible. The short story comes back to life and becomes a living utterance.
