In the hypothesis proposed, the proverbs function as sample of the composition method by author, which comes from popular elements, such as proverbs, to submit them to the method of magic algebra, which will extract from its conventional and generalizing form that singularizes like poetics cells, which are updated each time in different contexts. This dual structure - fixed and moving - of proverbial expressions, keep inside the "counsel" of the narrator from oral traditions, and the anonymity that makes them a land of moving frontiers between orality and writing, the literary and non-literary. The proverbs are, therefore, cells of the critical short story of Rosa, that is, one that transcends the tradition of short story genre to introduce as hybrid narrative between fiction and metafiction; the poetic and scientific; the literary and essayistic - philosophical. The methodology of analysis focused the four prefaces - "Aletria e Hermenêutica", "Hipotrélico", "Nós, os temulentos" and "Sobre a escova e a dúvida" - as a sample of the functions of proverbs as structures that lead to metaficcional reflections on the working method practiced by Rosa in Tutaméia, in addition to two short stories - "Arroio-das-Antas" and "- Uai, eu?" in which proverbs work as fictional experimentation exerted by the narrators, in a frontier area with the character and the figure of the author. In conclusion, it was observed that the update of proverbs in Tutaméia restored them the latent poetry, darkened by the repetition and the use of that automated sentences / Este trabalho investigativo tem por objeto o questionamento do papel exercido pelas sentenças proverbiais na construção poética de Tutaméia-Terceiras Estórias, última obra publicada em vida por Guimarães Rosa. Na hipótese levantada, os provérbios funcionam como amostra do método de composição autoral, que parte de elementos populares, como os provérbios, para submetê-los ao método da álgebra mágica, que vai extrair da sua forma convencional e generalizante aquilo que os singulariza como células poéticas cada vez que são atualizados em contextos diferentes. Essa estrutura dúplice - fixa e movente - das expressões proverbiais, guarda em seu interior o conselho do narrador das tradições orais, bem como o anonimato que faz delas um terreno de fronteiras movediças entre a oralidade e a escritura; o literário e o não literário. Os provérbios constituem-se, assim, células do conto crítico roseano, isto é, aquele que transcende a tradição do gênero conto para se instaurar enquanto narrativa híbrida entre a ficção e a metaficção; o poético e o científico; o literário e o ensaístico - filosófico. A metodologia de análise privilegiou como corpus os quatro prefácios - Aletria e Hermenêutica , Hipotrélico , Nós, os temulentos e Sobre a escova e a dúvida - como amostra das funções dos provérbios como estruturas que conduzem à reflexão metaficcional sobre o próprio método de trabalho praticado por Rosa em Tutaméia, além de dois contos - Arroiodas- Antas e - Uai, eu? nos quais os provérbios funcionam como experimentação ficcional exercida pelos próprios narradores, numa zona fronteiriça com a personagem e a própria figura autoral. Como conclusão, observou-se que a atualização dos provérbios em Tutaméia restaurou-lhes a poesia latente, obscurecida pela repetição e pelo uso automatizado de tais sentenças

This way, her work turn around over the universe which mix prose and poetry that we named poetry prose. The short stories selected, beyond summarized the characteristics over decrypts, bring a resort theme which is the death inscribe under de sign of love. To get the purpouse drown up a general plan of some considerations writer by someone that worried to structure the short story like narrative genre. In after that, we shared the research in three sections: First: The poetic narrative by Florbela Espanca. We discoursed about short stories. In the second section, we talked about The death poetic. We discoursed about Eros, Thanatos and Psique. In the last section, we analised the short stories: A Morta , A Paixão de Manuel Garcia and As Orações de Soror Maria da Pureza . In this research, we studied the relationship between love, death in anothers worlds. And then we get about the short stories news possibilities to understand the Florbela short storties / Esta dissertação tem por objetivo apresentar uma leitura da poética da morte inscrita nos contos A Morta , A Paixão de Manuel Garcia e As Orações de Soror Maria da Pureza , que compõem a obra As Máscaras do Destino (1927), da poeta e contista portuguesa Florbela Espanca. A prosa dessa autora alentejana apresenta uma constante rememoração do espetáculo da morte encenada em situações amorosas díspares. Nesse sentido, sua obra gravita sobre o universo mesclado de prosa e poesia o que vem a compor o que chamamos de prosa poética. Para se alcançar os objetivos propostos, dividimos este estudo em três capítulos. No primeiro: A narrativa poética de Florbela Espanca, traçou-se um panorama geral sobre o gênero conto, suas primeiras manifestações na Literatura Universal e sua inserção em solo português. Em seguida, refletimos sobre os contos florbelianos e sua relação com o aspecto biográfico imputados pela crítica. No segundo capítulo intitulado A Poética do amor e da morte, abordamos a relação mitológica de Eros e Psique, o amor cortês no imaginário medieval, salientando que a cortesia lírica representa o pilar da Literatura Portuguesa. Ainda neste capítulo, discutimos o universo de Eros e Thanatos representados ao longo da História pela literatura. Para ressoar a voz de Eros, convidamos Georges Bataille e sua tese da busca da continuidade perdida para nos acompanhar nesse ambiente tão nostálgico e nebuloso que é o mundo das representações do erotismo.Dedicamos ao terceiro capítulo a análise do corpus selecionado. A Linguagem do Amor Além-túmulo foi construída a partir do conto A Morta . Tragédia na Ficção Amorosa Florbeliana tem como esteio o conto A Paixão de Manuel Garcia e Erotismo nas Máscaras da Morte se baseia na fábula d As Orações de Sóror Maria da Pureza . Nesta seção, analisamos a relação amorosa de cada personagem nas fronteiras da vida-morte

A perspectiva deste trabalho será a de que as diferentes experiências históricas de Henrique de Carvalho (Expedição Portugueza ao Muantiânvua: Ethnographia e história tradicional dos povos da Lunda- 1884-1888) (1890), Castro Soromenho (Lueji Ilunga na terra da amizade) (1945) e Pepetela (Lueji: o nascimento dum império) (1989) definem a forma literária, respectivamente, literatura de viagem, um conto tensionado e um romance. Três formas literárias distintas que mantêm o elo com o texto historiográfico, pois Castro Soromenho e Pepetela se apropriam do texto de Henrique de Carvalho para elaborarem seus enredos centrais que giram em torno do espaço Lunda. Tendo em vista que tal espaço potencializa as três narrativas, levaremos em conta que \"A forma não pode ser compreendida independentemente do conteúdo, mas ela não é tampouco independente da natureza do material e dos procedimentos que este condiciona. A forma depende, de um lado, do conteúdo e, do outro, das particularidades do material e da elaboração que este implica.\" (Bakhtin, M. 1992, p. 206) / In this work we aim to show that the different historical experiences by Henrique de Carvalho (Expedição Portugueza ao Muantiânvua: Ethnographia e história tradicional dos povos da Lunda - 1884-1888) (1890), Castro Soromenho (Lueji Ilunga na terra da amizade) (1945) and Pepetela (Lueji: o nascimento dum império) (1989) define certain literary forms, respectively, travel literature, tension short story and novel. These three distinct literary forms are connected with historiographic writings, for Castro Soromenho and Pepetela appropriate Henrique de Carvalho text to elaborate their central plots which focus the space of Lunda. Having in mind that space potentializes the three narratives, in this study we will take into consideration that \"The literary form cannot be understood separate from the content, and neither is it independent from the nature of the subject and the proceedings which are conditioned by this same content. Form depends on the content, and also on the particular aspects of the subject and on the elaboration it implies.\"* (Bakhtin, M. 1992, p.206)

Cette thèse a pour but principal de renouveler l’étude de la question du rapport entre l’esthétique et l’idéologique dans l’oeuvre de Flannery O’Connor. Contrairement aux études antérieures menées sur cette question, elle sera abordée ici dans le cadre d’une théorie du discours littéraire, c’est-à-dire d’une théorie qui prend en compte les dimensions à la fois performatives et réflexives propres aux textes littéraires. Ce postulat théorique a des conséquences importantes pour l’étude du rapport entre les textes littéraires et les contextes sociaux, politiques, historiques et littéraires de leur mise en circulation et de leur réception. Il implique, notamment, que les ouvrages littéraires inscrivent et négocient dans leur texture même les conditions de leur mise en circulation et de leur réception, et ainsi, que la question de leur contexte doit être abordée en premier par l’étude de cette inscription et de cette négociation textuelles. Pour autant qu’elle tient pleinement compte de la logique médiate de cette inscription et de cette négociation—et notamment des effets médiateurs des figures du lecteur et de l’auteur, ainsi que du genre et du champ littéraire—l’approche pragmatique adoptée dans cette thèse permet non seulement de mener à bien cette étude, mais également de montrer sous un nouveau jour la complexité et la singularité de la signature littéraire de Flannery O’Connor. / The principal aim of this dissertation is to provide a fresh approach to the vexed question of the relationship between the aesthetic and the ideological in the work of Flannery O’Connor. Unlike existing studies of this question in the critical literature, the approach adopted in this dissertation is based on the premise that it can best be treated in the context of a theory of literary discourse, one, in particular, that takes full consideration of the reflexive and performative dimensions of literary works. This theoretical assumption has considerable consequences for the study of the relationship between literary texts and the social, political, historical and literary contexts of their reception and circulation. In particular, it suggests that literary texts inscribe and negotiate the social and historical conditions of their circulation and reception, and that the question of their context should be approached first and foremost through the study of this textual inscription and negotiation. Insofar as it takes full consideration of the mediatory logic that such textual negotiation entails—in particular the mediating presence and effect of the figures of the reader and the author, the genre of the work, and the literary field—literary pragmatics will be seen to provide an approach which not only enables this study, but also reveals in a new light both the complexity and the singularity of Flannery O’Connor’s literary signature.

This thesis is a broadly chronological study of representations of Japan and the Japanese in Australian novels, stories and memoirs from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first century. Adopting Edward Said???s Orientalist notion of the `Other???, it attempts to elaborate patterns in which Australian authors describe and evaluate the Japanese. As well as examining these patterns of representation, this thesis outlines the course of their development and change over the years, how they relate to the context in which they occur, and how they contribute to the formation of wider Australian views on Japan and the Japanese. The thesis considers the role of certain Australian authors in formulating images and ideas of the Japanese ???Other???. These authors, ranging from fiction writers to journalists, scholars and war memoirists, act as observers, interpreters, translators, and sometimes ???traitors??? in their cross-cultural interactions. The thesis includes work from within and outside ???mainstream??? writings, thus expanding the contexts of Australian literary history. The major ???periods??? of Australian literature discussed in this thesis include: the 1880s to World War II; the Pacific War; the post-war period; and the multicultural period (1980s to 2000). While a comprehensive examination of available literature reveals the powerful and continuing influence of the Pacific War, images of ???the stranger???, ???the enemy??? and later ???the ally??? or ???partner??? are shown to vary according to authors, situations and wider international relations. This thesis also examines gender issues, which are often brought into sharp relief in cross-cultural representations. While typical East-West power-relationships are reflected in gender relations, more complex approaches are also taken by some authors. This thesis argues that, while certain patterns recur, such as versions of the ???Cho-Cho-San??? or ???Madame Butterfly??? story, Japan-related works have given some Australian authors, especially women, opportunities to reveal more ???liberated??? viewpoints than seemed possible in their own cultural context. As the first extensive study of Japan in Australian literary consciousness, this thesis brings to the surface many neglected texts. It shows a pattern of changing interests and interactions between two nations whose economic interactions have usually been explored more deeply than their literary and cultural relations.

Esta tesis doctoral se centra en la prospección de lo fantástico en la narrativa breve del escritor francés Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850). La investigación se estructura en cinco capítulos, más el dedicado a las referencias bibliográficas. Tras los aspectos de tipo teórico e histórico ligados a lo fantástico, se analizan las circunstancias culturales, ideológicas y personales que intervinieron en la gestación de lo fantástico balzaquiano. A continuación se estudia la articulación formal de lo fantástico en los once textos balzaquianos seleccionados. Siguiendo el modelo de análisis propuesto por Joël Malrieu se han estudiado cuatro categorías: personaje, fenómeno irracional, espacio-tiempo y narrador.Del estudio se desprende que los relatos fantásticos balzaquianos se ajustan a la caracterización estética del género que establece Malrieu. Balzac conoce y domina la técnica compositiva inherente a lo fantástico en el relato breve, pudiendo afirmar que esta faceta creativa va más allá de una simple concesión a la moda pasajera del momento. / This doctoral thesis focuses on the search for the fantastic ingredient in the short stories by the French writer Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850). The research is organized in five chapters, plus the bibliography.After examining the theoretical and historical aspects linked to the fantastic component, we analyze the cultural, ideological and personal circumstances which took part in the gestation of the fantastic elements in Honoré de Balzac. Afterwards, we study the formal articulation of this in the eleven texts by Balzac that we have selected. Following the analysis scheme proposed by Joël Malrieu, we have studied four categories: character, irrational phenomenon, space-time and narrator. From this research, we can conclude that Honoré de Balzac short stories come into the aesthetic characterization of the genre established by Malrieu. Balzac knows very well the writing technique inherent to the fantastic ingredient in the short story. Definitely, we can state that this creative facet is more than a simple concession to the temporary fashion of his time.

This work concerns the book "Litauiska noveller" [Lithuanian Short Stories],  a collection of nine Lithuanian short stories translated into Swedish by noted Finnish diplomat Ragnar Öller (1893-1960) and tutor and  journalist Nils Bohman (1902-1943).   The authors of the nine short stories are Jonas Biliūnas, Vincas Krėvė-Mickevičius, Antanas Žukauskas-Vienuolis, Ignas Jurkunas-Scheynius, Jurgis Savickis, Petras Cvirka, and Petronėlė Orintaitė. The 242-page book published 1940 in Stockholm, was the first translation of literary texts from the Lithuanian appearing in the Swedish language. In spite of a professionally carried out translation, the book never gained the attention of Swedish literary circles, and has more or less been forgotten throughout the post war period and up to the present. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the history leading up to the publication of the book within the context of Swedish-Lithuanian relations, and analyse the possible reasons of why this work remained unnoticed for so many decades. Why was the book not reviewed in the Swedish daily press? Was the book ignored because of the choice of authors of the novels? Was the disregard due to the political situation? A discussion from a few selected points of view follows on some possible reasons of why the launch of "Litauiska noveller" failed in 1940. An appendix listing published works of Lithuanian authors in the Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Icelandic) up to 1996 is attached.

Para comenzar quisiera dar una breve idea de cómo entiendo a Borges –al respecto me he manifestado en un buen número de publicaciones desde 1989, pero no sobre los motivos o puntos de arranque – y describir así cómo llegué a mi interpretación sobre Borges y a considerarlo como uno de los fundadores de la teoría de "muchos mundos" ("Many Worlds Theory"), de mundos virtuales y de medios virtuales/digitales y de los "New Media". Su escritura representa un acto de percepción, comprensión, implosión y expansión, ésta es una "encicopledia navegante", Borges es así el primer navegador o "user in the web".

En el año 1992 se publicó un importante libro, editado por Paul Geyer y Roland Hagenbüchle con el título Das Paradox. Eine Herausforderung des abendländischen Denkens, donde el fenómeno de la paradoja se describe como parte integral de la postmodernidad y de la obra de Borges. Estas constataciones me llamaron la atención en esta formulación tan general ya que la paradoja se encuentra en los presocráticos - como los participantes del volumen muy bien saben -, y las descripciones y razones que los autores dan para su lugar privilegiado en la postmodernidad como en la obra de Borges me parecieron dignas de algunas breves reflexiones.
