Gerard Manley Hopkins produced poetry in the Victorian era which was noted for its originality of syntax and form. The essence underlying a large body of his poetry was his Catholic religion. His early religious poetry utilized nature-based metaphors to express his love of Christ and trace the immanence of God within nature. He borrowed heavily from the aesthetics of Pater and the philosophy of Duns Scotus. The dissertation explores these early influences and assesses their contribution to the formation of a unique religious interpretation of life and the formulation of an aesthetic congruent with this religion. The dissertation dissects early symptoms of religious doubt within his poetry and finally analyses his `Terrible Sonnet' phase in detail to ascertain whether the crisis so often described as occurring during this period was religious or merely reflected a loss of creative ability. / English Studies / MA (English)

In which the various literary creations are mixed. In order to understand better the way how these ideas are outripend and articulated, we rather bring his poetic production somehow nearer to the artistic tendencies, which arose at the beginning of the 20th century. These created a profound transformation in the fields of art and culture, a fact we see in the course of the whole century and still today are enduring in the contemporaneous productions through this and other poets. Based on this progression, we try to find out the models which helped them to be inspirited and also the historical marks in literature, which allow us to find out and read the processes in unreding, appropriation, scripts and literature and therewith the forms these poetical categories are reconfigured in a effort of superation. Thus a proper and autonomic literature could be achieved. The theoretical body is based and established by authors like Pierre Bourdieu, Dominique Maingueneau, Harold Bloom, Roland Barthes and some others supporting as well. We verify that the high level of scientific and technological development of the modern society provokes new social arrangements, demanding also a renewal in the social habits in our times. That lifts up, the identity of an individual in this particular society having to reveal itself in the inner of the representation systems, - and in the same way he will have to allow to be represented by the others. In the interacting movement in several fields and in the constant being inspired on through the various linguistic codes, Arnaldo Antunes demonstrates the reading of the tradions flowing to unfold itself as a revitalization of arts, standing up against the banality and materialism of the contemporaneous world, but rather that the technical and experimental profits are contributions, which permit the development and orientation of the direction his writing can have to achieve the liberty of style and the literature as such. / Essa pesquisa desenvolve um olhar sobre a obra poética de Arnaldo Antunes e sua história de leituras, através de um sistema complexo de relações, onde se misturam escrituras variadas. Para compreender melhor como suas idéias são construídas e articuladas procuramos aproximar sua produção poética de tendências artísticas surgidas no início do século XX, que operaram uma mudança profunda nas artes e na cultura, que perduraram durante todo o século e ainda estão presentes na produção artística contemporânea deste e de outros poetas. Através desse percurso, procuramos descobrir os modelos que lhe serviram de inspiração e marcas da história de leitura que nos permite ler os processos de influência, desleitura, apropriação, escritura, e a forma como essas categorias poéticas estão reconfiguradas num trabalho de superação, no objetivo de atingir autonomia literária.O corpo teórico se estabelece a partir de autores como Pierre Bourdieu, Dominique Maingueneau, Harold Bloom, Roland Barthes e mais um suporte de outros autores. Verificamos que o alto nível de desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico atingido pelas sociedades modernas provoca novos ordenamentos sociais, exigindo também uma renovação das práticas sociais contemporâneas. Sendo assim, a identidade de um sujeito desta mesma sociedade vai se revelar no interior dos sistemas de representação e na forma como ele se deixa representar. No movimento de interação com vários campos do conhecimento, no contágio incessante com vários códigos de linguagem, Arnaldo Antunes demonstra que a leitura da tradição aparece como uma revitalização da arte, que se opõe à banalidade e à materialidade do mundo contemporâneo e os ganhos técnicos e experimentais são contribuições que dão desenvolvimento e orientam os rumos de sua escrita para alcançar liberdade de estilo e escritura própria

A epopeia Os Lusíadas (1572), de Luís de Camões, estrutura-se, historicamente, sobre o achamento da Índia e, miticamente, sobre as mitologias greco-latina e judaico-cristã. A presença dessas mitologias divergentes em Os Lusíadas estimula a elaboração de uma epopeia portuguesa chamada O Oriente (1814), cujo autor é o padre português José Agostinho de Macedo. O Oriente é uma releitura de Os Lusíadas, e seu processo composicional caracteriza-se por negar e remover a sacralidade da representação dos deuses greco-latinos, substituindo-os pelas divindades judaico-cristãs, que Macedo exaltará, e por representar a Vasco da Gama como um herói genuinamente cristão, pois, segundo Macedo, Camões não o fizera. O narrador de O Oriente substitui as divindades representadas por Camões, tais como Júpiter, Baco, Vênus, Marte, Morfeu e Tétis, por figuras tais como Deus, Satanás, o Serafim e São Tomé. O narrador aceita e mantém, no entanto, determinados personagens da mitologia greco-latina em sua epopeia, tais como Luso, Lisa e Ulisses, por exemplo. Nesse sentido, José Agostinho de Macedo alinha-se à representação de Os Lusíadas. O narrador de O Oriente filia seu herói, Vasco da Gama, ao cristianismo, e representa-o como o eleito de Deus para a difusão da fé cristã no Oriente. O narrador, portanto, pretende emendar esses aspectos da representação de Os Lusíadas. / The epic poem Os Lusíadas (1572), by Luís de Camões, is based on the historical discovery of India and on the Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian mythologies. The presence of these divergent mythologies in Os Lusíadas stimulates the elaboration of a Portuguese epic poem entitled O Oriente (1814), by the Portuguese priest José Agostinho de Macedo. O Oriente is a rereading of Os Lusíadas, and its compositional process is characterized by denying and removing the sacredness of the representation of the Greco-Roman gods, who are replaced by the Judeo-Christian deities the autor intends to exalt, and for representing Vasco da Gama as a genuine Christian hero, because, according to Macedo, Camões had not done that. The narrator of O Oriente replaces the deities represented by Camões, such as Jupiter, Bacchus, Venus, Mars, Morpheus and Thetis, with figures such as God, Satan, Seraphim, and St. Thomas. The narrator accepts and maintains, however, certain characters from Greco-Roman mythology in his epic poem, such as Luso, Lisa and Ulysses. In this regard, José Agostinho de Macedo aligns himself with the representation of Camões. The narrator of O Oriente associates his hero, Vasco da Gama, with Christianity and represents him as the chosen of God in order to spread the Christian faith in the East. The narrator, therefore, intends to fix aspects of the representation of Os Lusíadas.

Nikos Kazantzakis (1883-1957) igualmente retoma o Odisseu lendário, insatisfeito com o retorno ao lar, como seu protótipo de herói e constrói, na modernidade, o poema épico Odisséia (1938), a partir do canto XXII no verso 477 do poema de Homero, sendo Odisseu levado a um novo itinerário ao deixar Ítaca definitivamente. Embora se baseie na obra clássica, recuperando personagens e a estrutura épica, Kazantzakis participa de seu tempo, compondo um novo Odisseu representante do mundo moderno, próximo das filosofias de Nietzsche e de Bergson. Como figura “entre mundos”, o Odisseu de Kazantzakis recupera as antigas delineações de Homero e incorpora as questões da modernidade: o niilismo, a desesperança, a multiplicidade. No entanto, além de prolongar os feitos de Odisseu e a narrativa de Homero, Kazantzakis compõe um poema épico de dimensões admiráveis – 33.333 versos de 17 sílabas poéticas, em 24 cantos – contrariando (e reafirmando) as intenções inovadoras de seus contemporâneos da primeira metade do século XX. A epopéia configura na modernidade um gênero considerado esgotado, que teria dado lugar ao romance como gênero mais apropriado às produções modernas. Esta investigação, no entanto, procura evidenciar que o épico de Kazantzakis, ainda que represente um anacronismo em tempos modernos e, para muitos, uma afronta às normas estéticas, é, assim como muitas das obras de sua época, a confirmação das intenções inovadoras em tempos de crise, por meio da incorporação de uma trajetória filosófica de Odisseu baseada no niilismo heróico de cunho nietzschiano e na evolução criadora de Bergson... / The theme of Odysseus‟ journey was broadly retaken by the literary tradition after Homer‟s Odyssey, whether to confirm the nostalgic ideal of the hero yearning to return to his homeland, or to reaffirm the impetus of the eternal navigator. Nikos Kazantzakis (1883-1957) also incorporates as his prototypical hero the legendary Odysseus, unhappy about returning home, and writes, in the modernity, the epic poem Odyssey (1938), based on the canto XXII and on the verse 477 of Homer‟s poem, and taking Odysseus to a new route when he leaves Ithaca for good. Although based on the classic work, restoring its characters and its epic structure, Kazantzakis takes part of his own time, creating a new Odysseus, now representative of the modern world, and close to the philosophies of Nietzsche and Bergson. As a figure “between worlds”, Kazantzakis‟s Odysseus recovers the old delineations of Homer and incorporates the issues of modernity: nihilism, hopelessness, and multiplicity. However, besides prolonging Odysseus‟ prowess and Homer‟s narrative, Kazantzakis wrote an epic poem of remarkable dimensions –– 33,333 verses of 17 poetic syllables, along 24 Cantos –– contradicting (and reassuring) the innovative intentions of his contemporaries in the first half of the 20th century. In the modernity, epic poetry configures a genre considered to be already exhausted, and which would have given rise to the novel as a genre much more suitable to the modern productions. This research, however, intends to show that the Kazantzakis‟s epopee, even being an anachronism in the modern times and, for many, an affront to aesthetic standards, is, like many of the works of his time, the confirmation of innovative intentions that take place in times of crisis, through the incorporation of a philosophical trajectory of Odysseus based upon Nietzsche‟s heroic nihilism and on Bergson‟s ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais / The present work accomplishes a systematic study about the composition of lyrical subject of Hilda Hilst in her work Cantares (2004). In order to develop this research, the methodology used was a combination of analysis and observation of the forementioned Hilst s book. Then some theoretical considerations were taken about who and how the subject is built in Hilst`s poems. By following Hilst s poetry one could face three relevant questions about her lyrical persona: the detection of a lyrical subject that recognizes himself as somebody constructed from his belonging to the other, out of him or as the self projected out of other self; the displacement of his identity by using a mask, and finally the ability of creating itself again, of thinking and constituting itself by means of the image and the word. Therefore this dissertation is organized in three chapters The being-beyond: the double face in Hilda Hilst s poetry , The self and the other behind the mask and The images and the word in Hilda Hilst s poetry in which the discussions proposed above are developed, revealing the building of a multiple and plural subjectivity. / O presente trabalho realiza um estudo sistemático sobre a composição do sujeito-lírico na obra Cantares (2004) da escritora Hilda Hilst. Para desenvolvimento desta pesquisa utilizou-se um método que, partindo da análise e observação da obra, permitiu tecer algumas perspectivas teóricas a respeito de quem é e como se constitui tal sujeito nas poesias hilstianas. Este trilhar nas poesias de Hilst permitiu o levantamento de três relevantes questões sobre a persona lírica da autora: a detecção de um sujeito-lírico que se sabe como alguém construído a partir de seu pertencimento ao outro, externo a ele ou o como o eu projetado fora de si; o deslocamento de um eu para uma máscara e, por fim, um reinventar-se, pensar-se e constituir-se por meio da palavra e da imagem. Tal trajetória culminou na estruturação de três capítulos O ser-além: as faces do duplo na poesia hilstiana , O eu e o outro por trás da máscara e O ser-imagem-palavra na poesia hilstiana nos quais são tratadas, respectivamente, estas três discussões, mostrando a constituição de uma subjetividade que é múltipla e plural. / Mestre em Teoria Literária

De même que le ready-made, il y a maintenant presque un siècle, avait transformé la question « qu’est-ce que l’art » en son contraire (« comment faire pour que quelque chose ne soit pas de l’art ?», ne soit pas transformé en objet d’art puisqu’une simple parole d’artiste, fiat ars, suffisait ainsi à transfigurer tout élément du réel), de même, il devient difficile aujourd’hui de repérer ce qui ne pourrait être, jamais ou par essence, un objet poétique. Devant l’œuvre poétique et plastique de Bernard Heidsieck, il convient de mettre en place une série de critères permettant de distinguer la poéticité d’un « art total ». Nelson Goodman apporte des éléments de réponse en soulignant l’importance d’un paramètre rarement pris en compte : le contexte. La question essentialiste « qu’est-ce que l’art »/ « qu’est-ce qu’un poème » pouvant être remplacée par une autre plus pragmatique «  quand y a-t-il art/poème ? » De ce point de vue pragmatiste, la notion de « contexte » permet ainsi de faire jouer à la fois l’espace (le lieu où s’exécute l’œuvre d’art) et le temps (les circonstances dans lesquelles l’œuvre s’exécute). Ainsi, un même objet ou une même action pourrait, à la fois, être ou ne pas être de l’art, c’est finalement une question de contexte et d’intention initiale. Dans le cas de nos recherches, la question du contexte est primordiale puisque l’inscription d’objets poétiques non exclusivement textuels en poésie et non en arts plastiques, repose en partie, sur leur appartenance aux champs de diffusion (éditoriaux et institutionnels) de la poésie. Cependant, des productions poétiques telles que celles de Heidsieck dont certaines facettes n’appartiennent pas au poétique n’en deviennent pas pour autant « poèmes » du fait de leur présence dans un festival de poésie. Notre projet de recherche a pour horizon une redéfinition du champ « poésie » et de ses outils d’analyse, une tentative de mise en place d’une poétique permettant de prendre en charge de façon féconde les « objets poétiques complexes » _c’est-à-dire hétérogènes du fait de leur appartenance à différents types de régimes esthétiques_ de Bernard Heidsieck. / As well as the ready-made, almost a century ago, turned the question “what is art?” into its opposite (“how can say something isn’t art?”, something wouldn’t be transformed into an art piece since the only artist’s word, fiat ars, was enough to turn any part of the real into art), as well, it has become difficult today, to point what couldn’t be, ever or essentially, a poetic object. In front of Bernard Heidsieck poetic and plastic work, we have to gather a series of criteria that would allow us to distinguish poeticism and “total art”. Nelson Goodman gives us a few answers highlighting the importance of a rarely acknowledged parameter: the context. The essentialist question “what is art?”/”what is a poem?” is turned into a rather pragmatic one “when is there art?/poem?”. From that pragmatist point of view, the idea of “context” allows us to deal with both space (the place where the art work happens) and time (the circumstances when it happens). That means a same object or a same action could or couldn’t be art, which leads us to the question of the context and the intention. For my researches, the context is primordial since Bernard Heidsieck’s poems, which are not exclusively textual, partly inscribe themselves in poetry because of their belonging to the poetry field of diffusion (from the publishing companies to the institutions). In the mean time, these objects don’t become “poems” just because of that poetic context. For those reasons, my project is to try and redefine the term and the field “poetry” and it’s analysis tools, it’s an attempt to build a poetic that would allow us to talk about what I will call the “complex poetic objects” _ complex because they belong to different types of aesthetic regimens _ of Bernard Heidsieck.

The image of Water seems to be a major component among the elements that compose the Cantares de perda e predileção [Songs of loss and predilection] (1983), by Hilda Hilst. Whether as a central component of the poem metaphor or a splash of discreet presence, the Water element makes the book a wealth of meanings. We extract from this book for analysis the treatments granted to Desire and Time. In the first case, we see an opaque water, gleaming anguish and loneliness in a song that is predestined to stop its search in the case of a successfully accomplishment. Although the specificity of each poem, the Water element receives nuances of vertigo common to individuals focused on water, as stated by Bachelard (1942). In the second case, we have a stream doomed to finitude, a condition that is one of the reasons for the thickness of Desire. Some songs show the despair of being-toward-death of Heidegger (1927), according to whom only the (potentially eternal) temporality of poetry seems to save, as says Alfredo Bosi (1977) commenting on the intersection of times (of the poetry and ours). At the confluence of these two analytic matrices - Desire and Temporality - we demonstrate how the plasticity promoted by the Water image recurrence favors the production of emotions in the reader, since, according to Octavio Paz (1956), Image is responsible both for recreating real contradictions and for destabilizing the alleged structural rationalism of our daily lives. For this, we especially use the concepts of perception and look of Merleau-Ponty (1960) and Georges Didi-Huberman (1992), respectively, to demonstrate how, in the act of reading, Language enables our perception to remain on the text and at the same time is changed by it, making completely unattainable to critical discourse the inexplicable subjectivity inherent to the aesthetic experience. / A imagem da água parece ser um dos principais componentes da matéria-prima de que se tecem os Cantares de perda e predileção (1983), de Hilda Hilst. Seja como elemento central da metáfora do poema, seja como respingo de presença discreta, o elemento aquático faz do livro um manancial de significações. Dele, extraímos para análise os tratamentos conferidos ao desejo e ao tempo. No primeiro caso, vemos uma água opaca, a reluzir angústia e solidão num canto predestinado a cessar caso a busca se sacie. Apesar das particularidades de cada poema, o elemento aquático ganha nuances da vertigem comum aos indivíduos voltados à água, como afirma Bachelard (1942). No segundo caso, temos um fluxo fadado à finitude, condição que é uma das razões da espessura do desejo. Alguns cantares dão a ver o desespero do ser-para-a-morte de Heidegger (1927), a quem apenas a temporalidade da poesia (potencialmente eterna) parece salvar, a exemplo do que afirma Alfredo Bosi (1977) ao comentar o encontro dos tempos (o dela e o nosso). Na confluência dessas duas matrizes analíticas – o desejo e a temporalidade – buscamos demonstrar como a plasticidade promovida pela recorrência da imagem da água favorece a produção de afetos no leitor, uma vez que o elemento imagético é, segundo Octavio Paz (1956), um poço de contradições recriadoras do real e responsáveis por desestabilizar o racionalismo pretensamente estruturante de nosso dia a dia. Para isso, recorremos principalmente aos conceitos de percepção e de olhar de Merleau-Ponty (1960) e de Georges Didi-Huberman (1992), respectivamente, para demonstrar como, no ato de leitura, o estatuto da linguagem ali movimentada possibilita que a nossa percepção se incruste no texto e ao mesmo tempo seja por ele alterada, tornando inalcançável de todo ao discurso crítico a inexplicável subjetividade inerente à experiência estética.

La Chanson d’Anseïs de Mes est la quatrième et dernière branche de la Geste des Lorrains. On ne possède actuellement aucune édition complète de cette chanson de geste : la seule que nous ayons est celle d’Herman Green, faite en 1939 sur un manuscrit fautif et sans aucun apparat critique, d’où la nécessité d’une nouvelle édition. Cette édition de la partie inédite permet une série de conclusions qui soulignent l’originalité de ce poème que nous appellerons désormais Anseïs de Gascogne. 1. Cette chanson n’est pas une chanson lorraine, mais picarde ; notre manuscrit présente des traits picards très marqués. L’auteur, linguistiquement un picard, est originaire de cette partie nord de la France qu’il connaît parfaitement. La composition est à situer vers 1255-1260, dans la région picarde qui jouxte la Flandre. 2. Anseïs de Gascogne représente une idéologie nouvelle qui la place à contre courant des autres chansons des Lorrains. Même si elle met en scène les deux lignages ennemis des Bordelais et des Lorrains, l’esprit est totalement différent : Anseïs de Gascogne est une œuvre « engagée » qui vise à la gloire de la Flandre et à l’anéantissement du roi de France et de son royaume, et où les Lorrains sont désavoués. Histoire et fiction se rencontrent dans cette œuvre d’actualité qui clôt une fois pour toutes l’histoire des Lorrains. 3. C’est l’œuvre d’un clerc lettré qui a donné la priorité à l’intelligence et à la culture, avant la prouesse chevaleresque. Cet écrivain de talent a utilisé avec soin toutes les ressources du style épique [laisses, motifs, formules] ; le poème témoigne en outre d’une composition solide, parfaitement structurée et d’une recherche dans l’écriture : peinture réaliste et pittoresque mettant en valeur des personnages bien dessinés, art de suggérer, parfois avec humour, mélange de tragique et de scènes divertissantes qui en font une œuvre d’art. / The Poem of Anseïs of Mes is the fourth and last part of the Geste des Lorrains. There is no complete edition of this epic poem: the only one that exists is the work by Herman Green which was completed in 1939 on an inaccurate manuscript and without any accompanying notes. Therefore a new edition is necessary. The release of the unpublished part would highlight enough evidence of the originality of this poem which will now be called Anseïs of Gascony. 1. This work is not a poem from Lorraine but from Picardy; the manuscript has very pronounced features from Picardy. The author speaks the language and knows perfectly well his native land of Picardy in the north of France. The text can be placed around 1255-1260, in the region of Picardy which is next to Flanders. 2. Anseïs of Gascony represents a new ideology which goes against the prevailing current of the other poems of the Lorrains at the time. Even if it presents the two rival lineages of Bodeaux and Lorraine, the spirit is totally different: Anseïs of Gascony is a "committed" work which aims for the glory of Flanders and the destruction of the king of France and his kingdom and where the people of Lorraine are disowned. History and fiction meet in this topical text which ends once and for all the history of the people of Lorraine. 3. It is the work of a scholarly clerk and gives priority to intelligence and culture, before chivalrous feats. This talented writer carefully used all the resources in writing this epic poem [leads, motifs, formulas]; additionally, this thoroughly researched poem is a well-structured and by all means, a solid piece of work: a realistic picture highlighting characters which are well drawn, the art of suggesting, sometimes with humor, a mixture of tragic and amusing scenes which on the whole form a good work of art.

How much do musicians use their music theory knowledge when they perform? This project aims to connect theory and practice by exploring how analysis affects the interpretation of two songs in performance. Are some aspects of music analysis more useful than others when it comes to interpretation and performing? The theoretical method used in the analytical process is foremost inspired by the book The Complete Musician (Laitz 2012). In the research I recorded two songs that set the same poem Flickan kom ifrån sin älsklings möte, both before and after doing a deeper analysis of the songs. Afterward I compared the recordings to examine how the music analysis affect the performance. The interpretation is formed sometime during the process, but when? Do we decide how to interpret the music in the analytical process already, or does it happen while performing?
