[pt] Esta dissertação tem como objetivo refletir sobre questões relacionadas à autobiografia dentro da perspectiva contemporânea dos estudos biográficos, legitimadora dos discursos situados à margem dos cânones literários.O objeto de análise da mesma é uma carta e algumas fotografias. A carta, de 317 páginas, foi escrita por Camilo Cândido de Araújo - meu avô materno -, no período de 14 de setembro de 1969 a 26 de janeiro de 1970 e endereçada ao seu filho mais velho. A correspondência - de conteúdo memorialista - é um legado que o pai deixa ao filho; uma espécie de autobiografia que, além de ter sido escrita no final da vida do autor, teve papel fundamental em sua história. A partir desse documento, encontrado recentemente, são feitas reflexões sobre questões pertinentes à literatura como escrita epistolar e autobiográfica, a necessidade da escrita e a memória. A relação biógrafo/biografado é tomada como ponto de partida para destacar a linhagem materna. As fotografias familiares são lidas em contraponto com o texto, como suplemento do material de análise. / [en] The purpose of this thesis is to reflect on questions relating to the autobiographical genre within the contemporary perspective of biographical studies, a perspective that has been legitimizing these discourses situated at the margins of literary canon. The object of analysis is a testament/letter and a few photographs. The 317-page document was written by Camilo Cândido de Araújo, my maternal grandfather, between September 14, 1969 and January 26, 1970, and it was addressed to his eldest son. The epistle - a memoir in content - is a legacy from a father to his son; it is a form of autobiography that, besides having been written in the final years of the authors life, played a fundamental role in his own life history. Based on this recently found material, reflections are made on matters pertinent to literature as epistolary and autobiographic writings, the necessity of writing, and memory. The relationship between the biographer and his subject is the starting point for highlighting the maternal lineage. The family photographs serve as a counterpoint to the text, as a supplement to the material in question.

This study examined the use of rhetorical resources, through theorists such as Aristoteles and Heinrich Lausberg, and the question of identity, from the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin and Anthony Giddens. After analysis was verified that the character's identity is fluid, balancing between the past suffering by constant verbal abuses and its overcoming in the present. / O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a constituição da identidade em Feia, autobiografia da autora inglesa Constance Briscoe, e o estabelecimento com o leitor do pacto autobiográfico, conforme teorizado por Philippe Lejeune. Para tanto, este estudo analisou a utilização dos recursos retóricos na narrativa autobiográfica com base nas premissas de Aristóteles e Heinrich Lausberg, bem como a questão identitária, a partir das teorias de Mikhail Bakhtin e Anthony Giddens. Concluiu-se, após a análise, que a identidade da personagem é fluida e equilibra-se entre os sofrimentos passados, devido a constantes agressões verbais, e sua superação no presente.

This doctoral thesis is concerned with autobiographical forms, their general characteristics as well as with three examples of Czech works of art that prove how difficult it is to make that general characteristics and show various kinds of autobiographical narrative. It aims to show the often heterogeneous character of the so- called autobiographical genres, and present some approaches in their study. In the opening chapter, we define the term autobiography or autobiographical form in regard to literary history and theory, and special attention to Czech research in this field. We concentrate on the genre specifics of autobiographical forms, the opposition of "literary" and "authentic" diary, the term "autobiographical pact" coined by Philippe Lejeune and several patterns of autobiographical memory introduced by James Olney. The key aspect of our study is the nature of autobiographical form derived from the subject's style and illocutionary acts, i. e. stylization as defined by John Searle followed by Jean Starobinski or Paul de Man. Out of the wide spectrum of issues connected with autobiography we focus on the description of the subject's narrative structure, mainly on its language, style, frequent motifs, its memory and relationship to other characters in its text. The complexity of the very...
