Investiga-se como os ambientes hostis presentes no romance geram traumas que resultam em um conturbado desenvolvimento do sujeito. Henry Junior, um imigrante alemão vivendo nos Estados Unidos da América (EUA) no período entre guerras do século XX (1919-1939), tem a personalidade constituída com base em dois confrontos centrais: com o mundo exterior, representado pela nação, colegas de escola e pela família; e com o „interior‟, feito das sequelas de embates constantes, que ocasionam a repulsa da personagem por si mesma. Empregando teorias sociológicas de mobilidade para abordar o „exterior‟ e psicanalíticas para o „interior‟, este estudo busca responder como tais confrontos geram a personalidade fragmentada do protagonista, que apesar de prejudicial, fazem com que a personagem adquira consciência de seu papel no mundo e questione como a sociedade estadunidense se articula coletivamente. A descoberta da leitura e do fazer literário, fundamentais na formação de Henry Junior, são também averiguadas. Por meio de uma abordagem político-dialética, examina-se como se dá o entrelaçamento de questões pessoais do protagonista de Ham on Rye com questões históricas, de classe e de formação de grupos, possibilitando-nos maior entendimento sobre o contexto histórico-social estadunidense no entre guerras e sobre como os indivíduos dos EUA respondem a demandas da coletividade em tal período. / This dissertation identifies and analyses social, psychological and cultural conflicts between the individual and the human collectivity, depicted respectively, by Henry Junior, the main character of Charles Bukowski‟s novel Ham on Rye (1982) and the American society. It is investigated how the hostile environments within the narrative produce traumas which result in a troubled development of the subject. Henry Junior, a German immigrant living in the United States of America (USA) during the inter-war period of the last century (1919-1939), has his personality constituted on the basis of two main confrontations: with the external world, represented by nation, class mates and his family; and with the „internal‟, resulted from the constant clashes, leading to the protagonist‟s repulsion for himself. Utilizing sociological theories about mobility to approach the „external‟ and psychoanalytical for the „internal‟, this study attempts to answer how the aforementioned confrontations generate a character with a fragmented personality, which though initially harmful, make Henry Junior aware of his role in the world, impelling him to question how the American society articulates itself as a whole. The discovery of reading and writing, both fundamental in Henry Junior‟s formation, are also discussed. Through a political-dialectic approach, it is ascertained how the interweaving between Ham on Rye‟s protagonist‟s personal issues and questions of history, class and group formation happens, giving us the opportunity to understand better the America socio-historical context during the inter-war period and how the Americans respond to collective demands at such time.

Informe de Seminario de Grado para optar al grado de Licenciada en Lengua y Literatura Inglesa / Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades / "Factotum‟, published in 1975, tells the daily life of Henry Chinaski, writer's own transcript, a writer who lives with resignation and weariness after being saved from going to war, and accepts all kinds of rubbish jobs to survive, and to clear his conscience while focused on pursuing what really fulfils him: writing. His self-destructive behavior seems to respond viscerally to a sort of instinctive urge in a universe declining and lacking self-pity. Chinaski is too conscious of his curse, he is destined to live a difficult existence in which he finds people predictable or he simply "do not like" them. For the purpose of the analysis of his writing style, „Factotum‟ and several poems from the anthology „The Pleasures of the Damned‟ will be necessary. It has been said that Bukowski with his terse, brusque and forceful prose, is the atrocious novelist of the great urban jungle: the destitute, prostitutes, drunks, in other words, he is the novelist of the human waste of the American Dream.

Charles Bukowski devoted his writing career to turning his own life into poetry and prose. In poems and stories about his experiences as one of the working poor in post war America, and in those depicting his experiences as a writer of the American underground, Bukowski represents himself as both a literary and social outsider. Bukowski expresses an alternative literary aesthetic through his fictional persona, Henry Chinaski, who struggles to overcome his suffering in a world he finds absurd, and who embarks on a quest for freedom in his youth to which he remains committed all his life. This thesis examines Charles Bukowski's autobiographical fiction with a specific emphasis on five novels and one collection of short stories. In the novels, Post Office (1970), Factotum (1975), Women (1978), Ham on Rye (1982) and Hollywood (1989), and in a number of short stories in the collection Hot Water Music (1983), Bukowski explores different periods of Chinaski???s life with a dark humour, revealing links between Chinaski???s struggle with the absurd and those aspects comprising Bukowski???s alternative aesthetic. The thesis focuses on such aspects of Bukowski???s art as the uncommercial nature of his publishing history, his strong emphasis on literary simplicity, the appearance of the grotesque and Bukowski???s obsession with nonconformity, drinking and sex. These aspects illuminate the distinctive nature of Bukowski???s art and its purpose, which is the transformation of an ordinary life into literature. This thesis argues that Bukowski illuminates possibilities that exist for individuals to create an identity for themselves through aesthetic self-expression. The thesis traces the development of Chinaski's non-conformist personality from Ham on Rye, based on Bukowski's youth in Los Angeles during the Depression, to Hollywood, Bukowski's ironic portrayal of Chinaski's brush with the commercial film industry. Through meeting the many challenges he faced throughout his life with defiance, honesty and an irreverent sense of humour, Bukowski invites readers to identify with his alternative world view. The thesis argues this particular aspect of his writing constitutes his most valuable contribution to twentieth century American fiction.
