Esta tese de doutorado sobre o diário de Virginia Woolf divide-se em duas partes. A primeira, uma análise do diário como um todo, busca trazer à tona sua literariedade e aproximações modernistas, que, como procuro mostrar, viram-se obliteradas durante os processos de sua edição. O diário de Woolf tem sido tradicionalmente usado como suporte para interpretar suas obras principais os livros de ficção e não-ficção cuja publicação ela supervisionou pessoalmente em vida , porém, como observa seu biógrafo Quentin Bell, ele é, em si, uma grande obra. A primeira parte destaca ainda pontos de uma possível teoria literária woolfiana (as aspas se devem ao fato de Woolf ter sido avessas a consolidações e se propor a quebrar o molde a cada novo livro), tais como as possibilidades de representação do mundo e do indivíduo as subjetividades e os movimentos da história, da guerra e da violência, principalmente aqueles relacionados à mulher. Buscou-se realizar tal análise em confronto com o restante da obra de Woolf e seu contexto, dando atenção às particularidades do seu diário e, em especial, ao que chamo de sua forma-cruzamento. Sustento que o diário é uma obra especialmente marcada pelas intercessões entre gêneros; ficção e realidade; e interior e exterior (público e privado); bem como entre as demais obras woolfianas, num movimento de constante autotextualidade. A segunda parte da presente tese oferece a tradução integral e comentada do período em que Virginia Woolf morou no número 52 da Tavistock Square, em Londres (de março de 1924 a início de agosto de 1939), que denomino Diário de Tavistock. Tal tradução alinha-se com um entendimento que enxerga no próprio ato tradutório uma aproximação com o ato crítico, no sentido de que também proporciona um embate privilegiado com o texto e suas múltiplas relações interpretativas. / This doctoral thesis on Virginia Woolf\'s diary is divided into two sections. The aim of the first one, an analysis of Woolfs diary as a whole, is to highlight its literary and modernist traits, which as I try to demonstrate have been almost obliterated during its editing process. Woolfs diary has been conventionally used by scholars as a secondary source to interpret her major works the fiction and non-fiction books whose edition she personally oversaw , but as Quentin Bell, Woolfs biographer, declares, it is a major work of its own. The first part also highlights points of a Woolfian literary theory (I liberally use quotes here, for Woolf objected to being fixed on definitions and wished instead to break the mold with each new book). Among these are the possibilities of artistic representation of both the world and the individual e.g., the subjectivities and the movements of history, war and violence, especially those related to women. Such analysis takes into consideration the rest of Woolf\'s work, privileging the particularities of her diary and, especially, what I call its crossing form. Her diary is a work deeply marked by intercessions between genres; fiction and reality; interiority and exteriority (public and private), as well as between her other writings, in a movement of constant autotextuality. The second part of the thesis offers an annotated translation into Portuguese of the period in which Woolf lived at 52 Tavistock Square, London (March 1924 early August 1939), which I call the Tavistock Diary. Such a translation is aligned with an understanding that the translation act is also a critic one, in the sense that it provides a privileged confrontation with a text and its multiple interpretative relations.

A narrativa As Horas (The Hours, 1998), de autoria do norte-americano Michael Cunningham (1952 --), pode ser tomada como representante dessa estética, posto que se vale, tanto estrutural quanto tematicamente, de Mrs. Dalloway (1925), um dos romances canônicos do modernismo em língua inglesa, e produção de destaque em meio ao opus literário de Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941), para sua composição. Intenta-se, no presente trabalho, promover uma análise do livro As Horas, objetivando investigar, sobretudo, como se articulam as representações do feminino na supracitada obra; para tanto, recorre-se a teorias e críticas feministas anglo-americanas e a pressupostos teóricos relativos à ficção pós-moderna. Procura-se salientar, ainda, a emergência do espólio crítico-literário woolfiano — enfatizando, principalmente, sua escrita ensaística e suas concepções feministas — na contemporaneidade. / The postmodern art is characterized, accordingly to the Canadian literary theorist Linda Hutcheon, by the revision and critical evaluation of texts and other discursive manifestations of the past, and by their transposition to new scenarios, in which they gain renewed signification. The narrative The Hours (1998), from the North-American writer Michael Cunningham (1952 --), can be seen as a representative of this aesthetic, since it recalls both structurally and thematically the novel Mrs. Dalloway (1925), one of the seminal works of modernism written in English, and prominent production amid the literary opus of Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941), for its composition. In the present work, we intend to analyze the book The Hours, aiming to investigate, above all, how the representations of the feminine are articulated in the aforementioned work, and, to this end, we depart from Anglo-American feminist theories, as well as critiques and theoretical discussions about postmodern fiction. It is also intended to highlight the emergence of the Woolfian critical-literary collection — emphasizing, mainly, her essayist production and her feminist conceptions — in contemporaneity. / 133881/2016-4

In this thesis I explore the roles of silence in Virginia Woolf’s last novel, Between the Acts (1941). I focus on three readings of silence in the text. First, I consider her portrayal of malicious silences as unsaid judgments and aggressions and their impact on interpersonal relationships and interactions. Second, I look at detached, empty silence and its relation to the critical passivity Woolf noted in her audience in the early years of WWII. Finally, I consider silence as feminist resistance to traditional narratives through the intertwined experiences of Isa and Miss La Trobe.

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade discutir a leitura que Lucia Miguel Pereira faz de Virginia Woolf em quatro ensaios, Dualidade de Virginia Woolf, Crítica e feminismo, O Big Ben e o carrilhão fantasista e Assombração, nos quais explora aspectos importantes dos ensaios e romances da escritora inglesa. Para Lucia Miguel Pereira, a nova forma do ensaio idealizada por Woolf consiste em uma renovação estética que a distingue de seus predecessores e contemporâneos pela união da linguagem crítica com a narrativa. Denominada de abordagem humanista pela crítica brasileira, a concepção de Woolf possibilita um espaço de criação artística capaz de envolver o leitor e estabelecer uma relação de intensa proximidade com ele. Entretanto, as explicações de natureza estética de Woolf, que congregam mito e movimento feminista para a criação dessa nova forma, são vistas por Pereira mais como resultado de uma visão pessoal da escritora do que como crítica literária propriamente dita. Com relação ao tempo ficcional, seguindo a sugestão de Lucia Miguel Pereira a respeito da necessidade de interação entre tempo cronológico e psicológico no romance, é feita uma leitura comparativa de To the lighthouse e Mrs. Dalloway, de Virginia Woolf, e Amanhecer, da autoria da escritora brasileira, a fim de demonstrar como ambas lidaram com a temporalidade no romance. O fio condutor da análise é a proposta estética de Woolf e o ponto de vista da crítica brasileira. / This thesis aims at investigating Lucia Miguel Pereiras reading of Virginia Woolf in four of her articles, Dualidade de Virginia Woolf, Crítica e feminismo, O Big Ben e o carrilhão fantasista, and Assombração, in which she explores key aspects of the English writers essays and novels. According to Lucia Miguel Pereira, Woolfs essays are formally innovative and her renewal of the form distinguishes her from her predecessors and contemporaries. Such differences are reinforced by the simultaneous use of narrative and critical language, which raises the essay to status of an artistic creation, capable of involving the reader by means of an interaction and closeness which Pereira names as a humanistic approach. However, Pereira considers Woolfs explanations of her aesthetics, which include myth and feminism, as resulting much more from her very personal stance than as literary criticism as such. As for fictional time, taking up Lucia Miguel Pereiras suggestion about the necessary interaction between chronological and psychological time in the novel, we compare To the lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, and Amanhecer, by the Brazilian novelist, in order to demonstrate how both writers deal with temporality in the novel, bearing in mind Woolfs aesthetic proposal and the Brazilian critics point of view.

Principalement analysée comme un retour à l’esthétique réaliste qui était celle de Virginia Woolf à ses débuts, la fiction tardive de l'écrivaine s’écarte radicalement de ses productions des années vingt et de leur modernisme affiché. La présente étude se propose de comprendre cet écart à travers le filtre de la mimésis : le basculement en jeu dans les œuvres tardives a à voir avec la représentation fictionnelle du réel et les inflexions que lui apporte Virginia Woolf au tournant des années trente. En effet, là où des textes comme Mrs Dalloway ou To the Lighthouse mettaient en scène un réel de l’intériorisation, un monde passé au crible de la conscience, les dernières œuvres de l'écrivaine adoptent une logique inverse et translatent l’intériorité à la surface même des choses et des événements. Ce déplacement inédit, qui « signe » la mimésis woolfienne tardive, nous semble par ailleurs devoir être mis en rapport avec un concept philosophique contemporain de la fiction tardive de Virginia Woolf, celui de « monde de la vie » ou Lebenswelt. Développé par Edmund Husserl dans son ultime ouvrage, La Crise des sciences européennes et la phénoménologie transcendantale, le Lebenswelt permet de penser une extériorisation de la vie subjective dans un monde qu’elle façonne à mesure qu’elle en fait l’expérience. À cet égard, les conceptions du réel qu’échafaudent au même moment Woolf et Husserl se révèlent être singulièrement proches. Cependant il s’agira moins ici d’appliquer le concept au texte, de comprendre le littéraire à travers le philosophique, que de mettre en place un dialogue « intertextuel » entre ces principes souvent concurrents : le Lebenswelt, loin de s’apparenter à une « réponse » aux questions soulevées par les textes de Woolf, peut au contraire nous aider à dégager la logique propre de la fiction tardive de l’écrivaine – tant et si bien que l’analyse du monde de la vie husserlien sera d’abord pour nous l’occasion de faire émerger un monde de la vie authentiquement woolfien. / Mainly analysed as a return to the realist aesthetics of her first novels, Virginia Woolf’s late fiction stands in stark contrast with her “high modernist” works of the 1920s. The present study suggests that such a reorientation is best understood when looked at through the lens of mimesis: the change affecting Woolf’s late fiction has to do with the representation of reality and with its alterations at the turn of the 1930s. Indeed, whereas texts like Mrs Dalloway or To the Lighthouse defined reality as the internalisation of the world, sieved through the consciousnesses of fictional characters, Woolf’s late fiction reverses this process by exporting the self directly to the outside world of things and events. Moreover, our intuition is that this unprecedented displacement, which comes to define Virginia Woolf’s last works, is to be compared with a philosophical concept emerging at the same time: Edmund Husserl’s Lifeworld. The Lifeworld, or Lebenswelt, theorised by Husserl in his last work, The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology, provides a conceptual framework in which the externalisation of subjectivity and its shaping of the outside world become conceivable. In this respect, Woolf and Husserl’s contemporary conceptions of reality appear particularly close. Our aim, however, is not to use the concept as a key for the text – nor will we analyse Woolf’s fiction from a philosophical standpoint. Instead of this, we intend to set up an “intertextual” dialogue between the often opposing principles of literature and philosophy: the Lifeworld, far from solving the questions raised by Woolf’s texts, is better conceived of as a catalyst destined to expose the underlying logic of Woolf’s late fiction. We thus take Husserl’s Lifeworld into account only inasmuch as its analysis paves the way for the discovery of Woolf’s own Lifeworld.

Cette thèse explore l'esthétique des écrits épistolaires de Woolf. Pour cet auteur, les lettres sont un vaste champ d'expérimentation de ses théories originales d'écriture, un espace où elle peut développer sa propre technique narrative et perfectionner son style moderne. Les lettres sont aussi un espace qui lui permet de trouver sa voix et sa position en tant qu'auteur ainsi que son moi. Dans les six volumes de lettres privées de Woolf, nous explorons d'abord la façon dont elles décrivent la vie quotidienne, riche et intense, de l'auteur. A travers des échanges fréquents avec ses destinataires, Woolf redéfinit le genre épistolaire. En dehors de leur fonction informative, les lettres offrent des descriptions artistiques de la vie et des gens qui sont composées d'une manière particulière, souvent irriguées par d'autres arts (peinture, cinéma, musique ou théâtre). Cette forme de représentation transforme le plus privé des genres en un genre public, dialogique et intermédial. L'intimité et le désir de se protéger en même temps que de s'exposer incitent Woolf à développer ce qu'elle nomme un style de « transparence centrale », méthode de représentation ou de suggestion qui lui permet d'exprimer l'émotion et de se représenter. / This dissertation means to explore the aesthetics of Woolf's epistolary writing. For Woolf, letters become a vast field, a free space for experimenting her original theories of writing, developing her unique techniques and perfecting her style of modern writing. They also provide a space for finding her authorial voice, position and self. Delving into the six volumes of Woolf's private letters, we first explore how they depict the author's daily life, its wealth and intensity. Through her exchanges with her numerous addressees, Woolf redefines the epistolary genre: apart from their informative function, letters offer artistic descriptions of life and people, which are composed by Woolf in a specific manner, often fuelled by various other arts—painting, cinema, music, or drama. Such a representation transforms the most private epistolary genre into a public, dialogical and inter-medial genre. Intimacy and self-protectiveness, together with a desire for self-exposure stimulate Woolf to develop a style of “central transparency”—her figurative or suggestive method that enables her to express emotion and represent herself.

Cette thèse se propose de dresser un portrait des différentes techniques de représentation de la psyché des personnages utilisées dans trois romans de Virginia Woolf, à savoir Mrs Dalloway, Night and Day et Flush. Pour cela, elle entend questionner les grammaires traditionnelles qui analysent la psyché représentée en contexte de fiction depuis un point de vue strictement formel et syntaxique et qui ne tiennent pas compte de ce que la psyché implique en termes de production ou de non-production d’un discours intérieur linguistique. Elle propose ainsi une définition psychologique et linguistique des mécanismes internes de« l’appareil psychique » sur laquelle elle se fonde pour, dans un second temps, définir et produire une analyse des techniques de représentation de la psyché qui se rencontrent dans le corpus woolfien choisi. / This thesis examines the various techniques used to represent the characters’ psyches in three novels by Virginia Woolf, namely Mrs Dalloway, Night and Day and Flush. To this end, it questions traditional grammars which analyze representations of the psyche in fictional contexts from a strictly formal and syntactical point of view, regardless of what the psyche implies in terms of the production or non-production of linguistic self-talk. First it presents a psychological and linguistic definition of the internal mechanisms of the "psychic apparatus", which then serves as groundwork for our definition and analysis of the techniques used to represent the psyche in our corpus.
