A partir da análise dos textos, o trabalho mostra como essas narrativas são exemplos do narcisismo literário, em que o artifício utilizado para fazer Literatura se torna a própria matéria narrada. Além disso, o estudo mostra a evidente evolução do trabalho de Svevo no que diz respeito ao artefato crítico e à consciência do trabalho criativo, uma vez que a presente tese analisa três momentos distintos de sua obra e demonstra um inegável amadurecimento dessas questões. A ênfase da análise empreendida está nos elementos referentes às autobiografias ficcionais e à metaficção, que dão ensejo também ao estudo sobre o foco narrativo e o tempo / This thesis presents a study about the novels A life and Zeno’s conscience and some sparse chapters, i.e. “Un contratto”, “Le confessioni del vegliardo”, “Umbertino”, “Il mio ozio” and “Il vecchione” from the Italian author Italo Svevo. Based on the analysis of the texts, the work shows how these narratives are examples of literary narcissism, in which the employed artifice to do Literature becomes the narrated theme itself. Furthermore, the study shows a clear evolution of Svevo's work in relation to the critic artifact and the consciousness of the creative work, since this thesis examines three different moments of his work and demonstrates an undeniable maturity of these issues. The emphasis of the undertaken analysis relies on the constituents relating to the fictional autobiographies and to the metafiction, giving rise also to the study of narrative focus and time

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 1991. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to point out and elaborate the affinities, culturally as well as textually, between the two Italian authors, Italo Svevo and Carlo Michelstaedter. Furthermore, it is the object of this study to demonstrate how, implicitly, the two authors provide an answer, each in his own way, to the question of "una vita degna di essere vissuta" - "a life worthy of being lived". The central theme in this regard concerns the distinctive notions that each author has in respect of 'Ihealth" and "disease", and "life" and "death", as well as how these notions correspond to the implicit search in their respective writings for "perfection", "authenticity" and "liberty". / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het ten doel am die kulturele en tekstuele affiniteite tussen die lwee Italiaanse outeurs, Ital0 Svevo en Carlo Michelstaedter, uit te wys en uitvoerig te bespreek. Daarbenewens, is die voorneme van hierdie studie om te wys hoe elk van die tv:ee outeurs, implisiet, '0 aotwoord verskaf op die kwessie van "una vita degna di essere vissuta" - II 'n lewe wat waardig is om geleef te word". Die sentrale tema in hierdie verband het betrekking op die onderskeidelike opvattings wat elke auteur se werk bevat ten opsigte van "gesondheid" en "siekte", en "Iewe" en "dood". Daar word ook getoon hoe hierdie opvattings betreffende die implisiete soeke ten opsigte van "volmaaktheid", "outentisiteit" en ''vryheid" in hul onderskeidelike tekste korrespondeer.

The question that forms the foundation of this project is quite simple: how can space help us discuss literature and vice versa? The chapters of this dissertation explore the writing of Francesco Dall’Ongaro, Italo Svevo, Pier Antonio Quarantotti Gambini, and Marisa Madieri, each of whom addresses spatial concepts in their textual representations of the northern Adriatic region. Utilizing the related yet distinct approaches of spatial literary studies and geocriticism, paired with intellectual history, I find that the northern Adriatic region can be construed as a literary creation comprised of distinct, resistant narratives. The four texts under discussion promote a particular narrative of the region, revealing different strategies for its literary construction. Furthermore, this project aims to demonstrate that the spatially-attentive critic, no matter the discipline, has a vital role in deconstructing the process by which spaces enter the imaginary through cultural production.

Partindo da análise do discurso ficcional (foco narrativo, personagens, espaço e tempo), o trabalho objetiva estabelecer como os dois autores representam pela linguagem os fatos de suas respectivas épocas. A ênfase está nos elementos de crítica social e na abordagem da História presentes nos romances. Os dois autores, embora afastados cronologicamente um do outro, tomam como referência a realidade social de seus países e fazem uso da ironia como base de seus textos. / This thesis presents a study of Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas (1881), by Machado de Assis, and La coscienza di Zeno (1923), by Ítalo Svevo. Having as its starting point an analysis of the fictional discourse (point of view, characters, space, and time), the objective is to establish how both authors represent through language facts of their historical periods. The emphasis is on elements of social criticism and the approach to History present in the novels. Although the authors are chronologically distant from each other, they take into account the social reality of their countries and use irony as the basis for their texts.
