Tendo como objeto de estudo a ficção de Cornelio Penna, representada por Fronteira (1935), primeiro livro do escritor, esta dissertação está estruturada em duas partes. Na primeira delas é desenvolvida uma breve abordagem do ambiente de 1930, com destaque para as tensões ideológicas e políticas que dominavam a cena. Nesse contexto, são relevantes as mudanças provocadas pela chegada de Getúlio Vargas ao poder e pelo rearmamento institucional experimentado pela Igreja desde a década anterior. Esse estado de coisas se refletiu na produção cultural e, no caso específico da literatura, foi percebido pela crítica como responsável pelo estabelecimento de uma polarização entre autores regionalistas e católicos/intimistas, reproduzindo de certa forma a oposição política existente entre direita e esquerda. O que se procura problematizar aqui é a rigidez dessa categorização, que, de modo sumário, acaba por misturar escritores de orientações muito diversas. Em última instância, questiona-se a própria validade do termo romance católico, que, em função de seus contornos pouco precisos, conduz facilmente a equívocos e generalizações. A segunda parte do trabalho consiste numa leitura de Fronteira. Explorando de modo profundamente original as possibilidades do realismo psicológico, Cornelio cria um romance que destoa no ambiente marcado por obras de cunho político e documental. Ambientada no século XIX, a narrativa exibe características muito peculiares, sobretudo no que toca ao ritmo lento e a uma premente ausência de explicações para os eventos descritos. Embora manipulando elementos de ordem histórica e social, o texto introspectivo de Cornelio se mantém formalmente distante da literatura de denúncia, sendo por vezes associado, de forma indevida, ao pensamento católico conservador. Partindo de aspectos específicos do romance, como a relação problemática que se estabelece entre os indivíduos e a impossibilidade de figurarem harmoniosamente num espaço que lhes é hostil e ameaçador, a análise pretende identificar marcas constitutivas e mecanismos ficcionais que permitam compreender melhor a lógica particular que rege o funcionamento do texto corneliano / Having as an object of study the fiction of Cornelio Penna, represented by his first book, Threshold (1935), this dissertation is structured into two parts. In the first one a brief approach to the political and ideological climate of the Thirties is developed. In this context, the changes occurred with the arrival of Getúlio Vargas to power and with the institutional rearmament that Church had been experimenting since the previous decade are relevant. This state of affairs had reflections on cultural production and was seen by literary criticism as responsible for the establishment of a polarization between regionalist and Catholic/intimist authors, reproducing, to some extent, the existing left-right political opposition. The intention here is to problematize the rigidness of this categorization, which, in a hurried manner, ends up mixing writers of extremely different orientations. In the last instance, what is questioned is the validity itself of the term Catholic novel, which, because of its vague delimitations, leads easily to mistakes and generalizations. The second part of the dissertation consists of a reading of Threshold. Exploring in a deeply original way the possibilities of psychological realism, Cornelio creates a novel that does not fit in the space dominated by works with documentary and political concerns. Set in the nineteenth century, the narrative shows some quite peculiar characteristics, especially when it comes to its slow rhythm and to an anguishing lack of explanations to the depicted events. Although manipulating social and historic elements, Cornelios introspective text keeps itself formally distant from literature of denunciation, being at times inappropriately associated with conservative Catholic intellectuality. Starting from specific aspects of the novel, such as the problematic relationship that is established among individuals and the impossibility of them harmoniously being part of a space which is in fact hostile and threatening, the analysis intends to identify constitutive marks and fictional mechanisms that allow a better understanding of the particular logic that governs the functioning of Cornelios text

Trata-se de um percurso de análise em que a noção de Itabirismo, conforme a concebe Cornélio Penna, ilumina o mergulho do romancista no universo de nossa formação social e cultural, como também o diálogo entre sua ficção e o grande romance católico do início do século XX. / Abstract: The present study consists of an analysis of Cornélio Penna's fiction focusing on the intersection between both religious and social dimensions in his work. In its analytical path, the notion of Itabirismo, conceived by the novelist, highlights his journey into the Brazilian cultural background, as well as the dialogue between his fiction and the Catholic novel from the beginning of the 20th century. / Doutorado / Literatura Brasileira / Doutor em Teoria e História Literária

This thesis is an investigation into the nature of the 'postmodern' narrative strategies and fictional methods in the work of two British Catholic writers. The work of David Lodge and Muriel Spark is here taken as an example ofthe 'Catholic novel'. In order to determine ifthe overlap ofpostmodern. and Christian-influenced narrative strategies constitutes more than a convergence or coincidence of formal concerns, narrative form in these novels is analyzed in the light of neo-Tho mist and Tho mist aesthetics, a traditional Catholic Christian theory of the arts. The 'postmodern' in these 'Christian' texts becomes largely a coincidence of terminology. Narrative forms which can be classified as 'postmodern' can also be categorized using the terminology of Thomas Aquinas. The apparent similarities betray radically divergent metaphysical presuppositions, however. The nature of the Catholic 'difference' lies in the way postmodern forms are used to challenge the metaphysical bases of those forms. / English Studies / M.A. (English)

Cotutelle de thèse entre l'Université de Montréal et l'Université Paris 3 Sorbonne-Nouvelle / Parallèlement à la construction progressive du concept d’« adolescence » par certaines disciplines telles la sociologie et la psychologie, la catégorie de la jeune fille prend une importance de plus en plus marquée dans la réalité sociale et la littérature française des années 1880-1914. Et pourtant : malgré son importance tant quantitative que « qualitative » dans le roman tournant-de-siècle, force est de constater que le personnage-personne de la jeune fille n’a reçu que très peu d’attention critique au cours des dernières décennies. C’est encore plus vrai du personnage de la jeune personne tel qu’il est représenté dans le « roman catholique » des années 1880-1914, cette étiquette de même que l’immense espace d’hétérogénéité générique constitutive qu’il représente ayant somme toute fait l’objet de peu de travaux. L’objectif de cette thèse consiste donc à préciser les caractéristiques que revêt la jeune fille de papier en régime catholique d’écriture ainsi que l’utilisation à des fins politiques, socioéducatives et idéologiques qui est faite d’elle par les romanciers catholiques de l’ère 1900 – autrement dit par les différents pôles d’un sous-champ littéraire catholique en construction et en mouvement. Pour ce faire, et au croisement de l’histoire littéraire, de l’histoire culturelle et de la sociologie de la littérature, il convient d’abord de définir les exigences, normes et valeurs diffusées au sein du sous-champ, toutes liées à la jeune fille historique et sociale et qui conditionnent les postures et les pratiques d’écriture de l’ensemble des agents. Seulement après analyserons-nous les représentations de la « jeune fille » inscrites dans les principaux sous-genres investis par les romanciers catholiques du temps – le roman d’amour, le roman traditionaliste et le roman de vocation spirituelle. On verra alors qu’en plus de rendre visible un conflit de représentations fictionnelles qui réfracte les débats sociaux entre laïcs-républicains et catholiques, les personnages de jeunes filles mis en récit par le roman catholique révèlent les conflits qui opposent différents acteurs à l’intérieur même du sous-champ et, plus largement, du monde catholique de la période 1880-1914. C’est poser que la « jeune fille » est à la fois l’un des enjeux et l’un des instruments fondamentaux du sous-champ des romanciers catholiques tournant-de-siècle : sa représentation littéraire permet en effet aux écrivains catholiques d’alors, en fonction de leur position (dominante-orthodoxe ou dominée-hérétique) dans le sous-champ et des intérêts qui y sont associés, de prendre position dans le sous-champ littéraire catholique, autrement dit de conserver telle quelle ou de subvertir profondément la structure du sous-champ, et donc par extension la structure du champ des formes et des contenus romanesques. / The girl is more important than ever in Fin-de-Siècle France : the rising conflict between the Third Republic and the Church puts the spotlight on this now unavoidable fictional character. And yet, very few studies have focused on her. The same could be said of the Catholic Novel, which has not received much critical attention over the last decades. This study thus aims at describing the features of the girl in French turn-of-the-century Catholic literature, and the ways she is used by Catholic writers to undermine the basis of the new (anticlerical) Republic. But Catholic writers are far from agreeing on the ways the girl should be depicted : some believe that her fictional representation should have moral and ideological effects on the readers (romance and traditionalist writers such as M. Maryan, Henry Bordeaux, René Bazin and Paul Bourget), while others think it should inspire in them the love of the Passion of Jesus (spiritual writers like Barbey d’Aurevilly, Léon Bloy and Émile Baumann). In short, this study shows how, in Fin-de-Siècle French literature, the girl becomes one of the major instruments of the conflicts between Catholics and Republicans, but also between Catholics.
