By means of qualitative techniques, including learning logs, teaching logs and interviews, results were analyzed and interpreted with an attempt to have a profound understanding of the participants’ responses to short story teaching and to derive a more feasible approach through continuous reflections as well as adjustments. The findings concluded from the results included: 1) short story teaching could better enhance both the development of the participants’ sentence writing and their motivation; 2) the experience of short story teaching was beneficial for the teacher researcher’s curriculum design and teaching techniques; 3) a more feasible approach had been built through continuous reflections and adjustments; 4) it was not a learner’s proficiency level but his learning attitude that affected the development of his sentence writing during the teaching stages. Based on these findings, pedagogical implications and limitations of this project are proposed; in addition, recommendations for future studies are provided at the end of this thesis.

The dissertation firstly looks at how the Arabic essay and short story developed in Egypt since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Then a discussion follows on the life and contribution of the Egyptian author, Mustafā Lutfī al-Manfalūtī, as representative of this literary evolution. The general influences on Egyptian literature are discussed, and the general development of Arabic prose from 1850 onwards is then detailed, including the efforts to save Arabic literature from stagnation and degeneration. Following this, the focus is on the origins of the essay and short story. This leads to dealing with the growth and advancement of the essay and short story, together with the revival of the Arabic heritage and how the Arabic novel came into being. Then Mustafā Lutfī al-Manfalūtīs biography, environmental circumstances and personalities that influenced his writings are focused on. Afterwards, the core discussion is Al-Manfalūtīs seven literary works, and his ideas and opinions as reflected in his writings. In conclusion, the relevance of his writings and an appraisal of his literary contributions are detailed. / Religious Studies & Arabic / M.A. (Arabic)

This is a semantic study, dealing with style and technique in the short stories of D. B. Z. Ntuli. The study as a whole analyses Ntuli' s first six volumes of short stories. The first chapter is an introduction, dealing with the aim of the study. The second sub-section after aim is Ntuli's biographical notes. Full details of this author from high school attendance to his contribution during his working experience are given. Ntuli's biography is followed by the scope of study. Under this sub-heading, short story volumes to be analysed are clearly stated. The fourth sub-heading is the method of approach and a conclusion. Chapter two deals with various types of repetition, a literary technique. It analyses Ntuli's use of language, and repetition of sentences approaching it from different angles. Chapter three and four deal with choice of words. The former chapter handles the various types of language elements semantically and the latter deals specifically with the ideophone. The ideophone is sub-divided into two sub-sections: classification and usage. Chapter five deals with proverbial expressions and these are sub-divided into two sections: idioms and proverbs. The usage of idiomatic expressions is discussed under: verbs, nouns and qualificatives, while the proverbs are analysed under classification and syntax. Imagery is dealt with in chapter six. Imagery is further sub-divided into four categories: metaphor, simile, personification and symbolism. Style and structure are discussed in chapter seven. In this chapter various elements of language forms are handled: types of sentenceidiophonic; negative forms of the ideophone, with conjunctives; sentences with adverbs; the demonstratives; titles of short story volumes and naming of characters. Chapter eight is the general conclusion, reflecting on Ntuli's style and technique with special emphasis on his unique use of the language. Reference is made to discoveries regarding the author's use of vocabulary, and his techniques in using repetition as well as avoiding it, which is part of his style. His choice of words and how he arranges them on paper is also discussed. Ntuli's choice of titles in naming his short story volumes is summed up showing that these have been influenced by his background. The study concludes by suggesting areas that still require further analysis in Ntuli 's short stories. / African Languages / D. Litt. et Phil. (African Languages)

[pt] A partir do levantamento de cerca de 400 contos inéditos e desconhecidos do escritor Lúcio Cardoso (1912-1968) propomos uma análise e revisão de sua obra literária de 16 romances e novelas. Além disso, iremos discutir a relação do autor com o renegado realismo de seus primeiros livros, a influência do fantástico em suas novelas e contos e a difícil relação da literatura brasileira, nos anos 30, com obras não realistas. Por fim, analisaremos os mais de 265 contos dos anos 50 em que o crime e a morte são personagens frequentes, fechando o ciclo de melancolia e fracasso do mundo ficcional cardosiano. / [en] Through the surveying of about 400 unknown and not-published shortstories written by Lúcio Cardoso (1912-1968) we propose an analysis and review of his literary opus of 16 novels and short novels. Besides, we will discuss the authors relation with the rejected Realism of his first books, the influence of the fantastic in his novels and short-stories and the difficult relation of Brazilian literature of the 1930s with non-realistic works. Finally, we will analyze over 265 short-stories from the 1950s in which crime and death often appear, closing the cycle of melancholy and failure in Cardosos fictional universe.

During the last decades, a Hindi Dalit literary movement has emerged in North India. This essay is a study and comparison on character portrayals in short stories by two authors from this movement, Jayprakash Kardam and Ajay Navaria. The aim of this essay is to explore the implications of these portrayals considering these authors’ views on social change, their literary affiliations and a theoretical discussion on Dalit literature. The methodical basis for this study is a detailed character analysis of these short stories’ protagonists, antagonists and other relevant characters, supported by narrative- and conceptual analyses. This essay argues that the theoretical abstraction of Dalit consciousness [cetnā] has a mainstreaming effect on the Dalit experience [anubhūti] when it is portrayed in literature. These dynamics are visible in Kardam’s stories, in which his portrayals of the Dalit protagonist follow the conventional Dalit character template, a forthright and innocent archetype juxtaposed against an evil Brahmin. The pivoting moment in Kardam’s stories is when consciousness awakens in the Dalit protagonist and he joins the corporate resistance against a casteist society. In comparison, Navaria makes the individual the site for change in his stories—reflecting the Gandhian notion of hṛday parivartan (“change of heart”). Navaria foregrounds alternative perspectives to Dalit cetnā in his stories and seeks to understand his characters from a broader human experience. I further argue that Navaria’s stories are suggestive of an expansion of the binary discussion on anubhūti (“experience”) and sahānubhūti (“sympathy”) by the term samānubhūti (“empathy”) since Navaria, by his more complex, nuanced and personalised characterisation of both Dalits and Brahmins, provides a common ground that invites to reconciliation. This study concludes that while Kardam could be designated as a conventional Dalit author, Navaria should rather be situated in the boundaries between the Dalit and the mainstream Hindi literary field. It further concludes that more research is needed on theoretical concepts used in the Dalit literary discourse. / <p>Kandidatuppsats i indologi</p>

Le récit enchâssé émerge comme concept au début du XXe siècle, à la faveur des travaux formalistes sur le recueil de nouvelles. Il ne se développe véritablement que dans les années soixante, sous la plume de Todorov et de Genette. Mais alors, il est moins étudié qu’effleuré. Aucune définition consensuelle ne se dégage chez les narratologues. On prête au dispositif une origine millénaire, sans bien expliquer la persistance intacte d'un procédé d'écriture depuis l'Inde ancienne. Le récit enchâssé a été davantage un mythe critique qu'un objet d'étude. Cette thèse se propose de reprendre la conceptualisation là où elle s'est arrêtée : à l'intuition que certains textes contiennent des récits en surplus. Par des décrochages typographiques, par un changement d'énonciateur, par une variation temporelle, par une série de marquages spécifiques, un récit peut être mis en relief dans l'espace textuel. L'enchâssement, alors, ne serait que le fait de cette mise en relief, qu'elle s'effectue ou non dans un texte littéraire, qu'elle porte ou non sur un texte narratif. Y a-t-il légitimité, dès lors, à parler d'un « récit enchâssé » ? A-t-il existé dans l'histoire une technique homogène de mise en relief d'un récit ? En posant cette question sur les récits courts du XIXe siècle (1800-1890), cette thèse s'efforce également d'expliquer l'apparition de la notion. Car c'est au XIXe siècle que, pour la première fois, le recueil de nouvelles est comparé à une fiction indépendante, en l'occurrence, une nouvelle. Analyser ce rapprochement permet de découvrir comment a été préparée la possibilité de penser le « récit enchâssé ». / At the beginning of the twentieth century, embedded narrative emerged as a concept, thanks to the research that Russian formalists had carried out on a collection of short stories. But the category came into bloom only in the 1960s, under Todorov and Genette's pens. At that time though, the subject was broached rather than dealt with in depth. No definition based on consensus ever arose from narratology; and the seamless persistence of this narrative technique, dating back to Ancient India, has never been well accounted for. Embedded narrative has always been a critical myth rather than a subject to be studied. The aim of this dissertation is to start where the first tentative conceptualization stopped: the feeling that some texts do contain extra narratives. Inserted stories can be enhanced through typography layouts, changes of narratee, time-related alterations, or by sets of specific markings. Embedding might then mean emphasizing rather than inserting. Is it then legitimate to comment on 'embedded narratives' as such? Was there ever a consistent technique to emphasize narratives? By raising these issues, this dissertation aims at getting to the root of the notion, and addresses the topic by drawing on a large number of short stories published between 1800 and 1890. For during the nineteenth century short stories collections came for the first time closer to independent fiction, precisely to short story. Analyzing this rapprochement will enable us to discover how the very notion of 'embedded narrative’ could come up.

Its subject is the study of oral manifestations in literary texts, and the stories that compose the regionalist literature of writer João Simões Lopes Neto as the aim of the study. The purpose of this work is to contribute to the studies of language and literature in the interface of spoken and written language modalities. More specifically: 1. to examine the manifestations of spoken language in the regionalist literary work by João Simões Lopes Neto; 2. to analyze its corpus through studies that refer to the constitutive properties of the speech; and 3. to describe the way in which the manifestations of the spoken modality of the language permeate the selected texts. The theoretical substantiation is set forth in Textual Linguistics and the Analysis of Conversations within the socio-interactional aspect. The material analyzed was selected from the literary work by João Simões Lopes Neto (2000). The results obtained indicated that in the short story, a textual/discursive genre, the spoken modality of the language is present by means of the constitutive properties of the speech, such as the discursive topic, conversational turn, conversational markers, and adjacent pairs. We concluded thus that studies regarding the spoken modality of the language, as opposed to those of the written modality, contribute to a possible significance when reading a regionalist text. However, such studies need to be continuous, for the realized investigation was only centered upon the regionalism of João Simões Lopes Neto. It is necessary to open new perspectives for the study of other regionalist short stories, insofar as the textual/discursive genre / Esta dissertação situa-se na linha de pesquisa Texto e Discurso, nas modalidades oral e escrita. Tem por tema o estudo das manifestações orais em textos literários, e, por objeto de estudo, os contos que compõem a literatura regionalista do escritor João Simões Lopes Neto. O objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir para os estudos da língua e literatura, na interface das modalidades de língua falada e escrita. Especificamente: 1. examinar as manifestações da língua falada na obra regionalista de João Simões Lopes Neto; 2. analisar o corpus, por meio dos estudos referentes às propriedades constitutivas da fala; 3. descrever de que maneira as manifestações da modalidade falada da língua permeiam os textos selecionados. A fundamentação teórica situa-se na Lingüística Textual e na Análise da Conversação, vertente sócio-interacional. O material de análise foi selecionado da obra de João Simões Lopes Neto (2000). Os resultados obtidos indicaram que no conto, gênero textual/discursivo, a modalidade falada da língua está presente por meio das propriedades constitutivas da fala: tópico discursivo, turno conversacional, marcadores conversacionais e pares adjacentes. Concluímos que os estudos, da modalidade falada da língua, em contraponto aos da modalidade escrita, contribuem para que a leitura de um texto regionalista possa ser significativa. Não obstante, tais estudos precisam ter continuidade, pois a investigação realizada foi centrada apenas no regionalismo de João Simões Lopes Neto. Faz-se necessária a abertura de novas perspectivas para o estudo de outros contos regionalistas, enquanto gênero textual/discursivo

It is a fictional process that, in view of the multiple stylistic marks, has similarities with the oral speech while legends or children s stories, beyond its own literary limits, in the realm of the visual arts. Two hypotheses were operated in this investigation: one relative to the ambivalent nature of the discourse in first person; the other relative to the presence of the memorialist narrative in the poetic essay. Both of them are supported on theories of the Russian Formalists, Paul Zumthor, Henri Bergson, Maurice Halbwachs, Gaston Bachelard, chiefly. The study of short stories was based on the analysis and construction of cinematographic procedures that blow up images processed as recollections of the oral illusional report. The time-space interrelation is operated in the narrative sequence by the imagination and memory, in the three chapters, as a complementary relation that results in the grasping of a fragmented and plural narrative, as a spiral figure, that has no beginning, no middle, and no end incomplete. The memory space provides the principle of creation of the legend s image in Quarto de Hora, which finds its representation in the origin of the human language, in the voice, and in gesticulations of the poetic expression at the threshold of prose / O propósito desta dissertação é estudar o processo de criação poética no livro de contos Quarto de Hora de Maria Lúcia Medeiros, publicado em 1994, em Belém do Pará, Brasil. É um processo ficcional que, em vista das múltiplas marcas estilísticas, apresenta similaridades com o discurso da oralidade, enquanto lendas ou histórias infantis, além das próprias fronteiras literárias, no domínio das artes visuais. Duas hipóteses foram trabalhadas nesta investigação: uma referente à natureza ambivalente do discurso em primeira pessoa; outra referente à presença da narrativa memorialista no ensaio poético. Ambas são fundamentadas nas teorias dos Formalistas Russos, Paul Zumthor, Henri Bergson, Maurice Halbwachs, Gaston Bachelard, principalmente. O estudo dos contos foi baseado na análise e construção de procedimentos cinematográficos, que sugerem imagens processadas como recolhas do relato da ilusão oral. A inter-relação tempo-espaço é trabalhada na seqüência narrativa pela imaginação e memória, nos três capítulos, enquanto uma relação complementar que resulta na apreensão de uma narrativa fragmentada e plural, como uma figura espiral, que não tem início, meio e fim inconclusa. O espaço da memória fundamenta o princípio da criação da imagem da lenda em Quarto de Hora, que encontra sua representação na origem da linguagem humana, na voz, e nas gestualidades da expressão poética, nos limites da prosa
