A presente dissertação apresenta uma primeira tradução em língua portuguesa (variante brasileira) para o conto \"O forno\" (1969), do escritor soviético Evguéni Kharitónov, seguida de um glossário. A proposta do trabalho é realizar uma análise literária desse texto, centrada na figura do narrador-protagonista e suas peculiaridades. O desenvolvimento dessa análise dar-se-á em três partes: considerações a respeito do narrador em primeira pessoa e a caracterização de seu discurso como sendo um \"discurso amoroso\"; a construção das demais personagens do conto e suas relações com o narrador-protagonista; as relações que esse narrador-protagonista estabelece com o tempo e o espaço de sua narrativa; e, por fim, a conclusão. Além da tradução e da análise, esta dissertação apresenta, em apêndice, uma cronologia da vida e obra do escritor, bem como quatro outros textos ficcionais de sua autoria. Há também anexos com imagens referentes ao conto \"O forno\", com o intuito de ilustrar um pouco o contexto em que a história se passa, e algumas fotos do próprio Kharitónov. / The present dissertation presents the first translation in Portuguese (Brazilian variant) of the short story \"The Oven\" (1969), by the soviet writer Yevgeny Kharitonov, followed by a glossary. The works proposition is to carry a literary analysis of the text out, centered on the first person narrator and its peculiarities. The analysis development will happen in three parts: considerations about fisrt-person narrator and the characterization of its discourse as a \"lover\'s discourse\"; the characters construction and their relations with the narrator; the relations the first-person narrator establishes with time and space in the narrative; and lastly, the conclusion. Besides the translation and the analysis, there are, in appendix, a life and work chronology, as well as four additional fiction texts of the author. There are also, in addendum, images related to the short story \"The Oven\", in order to illustrate the contex of the story, in addition to some photos of Kharitonov himself.

"How is a Woman Like a Watermelon" examines two of Richard Brautigan's novels, In Watermelon Sugar and An Unfortunate Woman, as they relate to each other in ways that offer a better understanding of each. This paper enriches an understanding of Brautigan's work by exploring the historical context of his writings, studying his style and presenting diverse interpretations in a mutually inclusive way that complements the multifaceted qualities of his writing. By studying Brautigan's novels in a comparative manner, the essential and distinctive principles that drive Brautigan's work—his manipulation of genre, use of memory and a complex first person narrator as an author persona—are better understood. Because of Brautigan's use of the first person, this study advocates an analytical psychological analysis aimed at discerning underlying emotion within apparent personal detachment, the use of projection as a defense mechanism, and the psychological associative value of words, images and memories. An inclusive and comparative study that foregrounds these psychological elements will ultimately allow for a more complete and subtle analysis of Brautigan's work. / Master of Arts

Veiga: uma possibilidade de discussão sobre o espaço ficcional, analisa o espaço na experiência dos narradores em primeira pessoa em “Ilha dos Gatos Pingados”, “Tia Zi Rezando”, “Roupa no Coradouro”, “Fronteira”, “Usina Atrás do Morro” e “Os do Outro Lado”. Para estabelecer dados iniciais, levantou-se as marcas da espacialidade nos textos de criação e na recepção crítica: sobre os cenários e objetos sertanejos e a posição da crítica regionalista goiana e; os espaços fronteiriços caracterizados pelo real representado que inclui a dimensão do insólito, seus objetos e figuras, em pleno movimento de transgressão do real. A partir do posicionamento da pesquisadora, dividiu-se as análises dos contos, em dois momentos. Primeiro, utilizou-se a teoria sobre o narrador de Franz Stanzel(1971), sobre a modulação do “eu” entre experiencing self e narrative self na elaboração do relato em primeira pessoa; as teses sobre o conto, de Ricardo Piglia(1980) como operadores para a abordagem do gênero, quais sejam, um conto sempre apresenta duas histórias e a primeira é contada nos interstícios da segunda; o aporte abrangente de Bourneuf & Ouellet(1976) sobre o espaço na narrativa; a definição de “fronteira” como limiar que se habita, por Wilson Alves-Bezerra(2008); as contribuições da teoria social de Pierre Bourdieu(1989) sobre a performatividade do espaço, variável que incide nos esquemas de percepção do real. Confirmar os recursos do fantástico literário na escrita veigueana ensejou estabelecer o segundo momento, com base nas proposições de David Roas(2008;2011;2012;2014) sobre a transgressão do real e implicações no fantástico literário; de Todorov(2006;2003;2013) sobre o real representado; de Jean Paul Sartre(1947) acerca de obras do fantástico, especificamente Aminadab, de Maurice Blanchot, O Processo(1925) e O Castelo(1926), de Franz Kafka, cuja comparação permitiu ao crítico reconhecer o espaço dentro do espaço e a identificação do leitor com o herói, como recursos expressivos de “técnica antiga”, superada na obra de 1926 do autor tcheco; de Patricia Garcia(2012) sobre o fantástico de espaço, quando o evento insólito é próprio do mundo e não provocado por um agente externo. Os resultados da investigação empreendida permitiram: reconhecer, em Veiga, ênfase ao “espaço dentro do espaço” e “identificação do leitor com o herói”, no registro da “técnica antiga” do fantástico literário, e a intenção de problematizar a condição humana e a formação; os narradores são escolhidos dentre aqueles que estabelecem o relato sobre a experiência vivida no limiar no qual passam a habitar, em plena clandestinidade, através da modulação do “eu”. Do espaço clandestino, reagem, vislumbram as condições de emancipação, confrontam os dispositivos integradores e violentos do mundo adulto e, por vezes, revidam. Deste modo, demonstramos que a clandestinidade e o processo de constituição de um espaço dentro do espaço incidem performativamente sobre os esquemas de percepção do narrador-menino acerca da realidade. / Narrators and clandestinely in Tales of the Cavalinhos de Platiplanto by José J. Veiga: a possibility of discussion of the fictional space, analyzes the space experience of the narrators in the first person in "Ilha dos Gatos Pingados", “Tia Zi Rezando”, “Roupa no Coradouro”, “Fronteira”, “Usina Atrás do Morro” e “Os do Outro Lado”. To establish baseline data, rose brands of spatiality in the creation and critical reception texts: on the scenarios and sertanejos objects and the position of goiana regionalist critics and; border areas characterized by real-represented including the size of the unusual, its objects and figures, in the real transgression movement. From the position of the researcher divided the analysis of short stories, in two stages. First, we used the theory of the narrator Franz Stanzel (1971) on the modulation of the "I" between experiencing self and narrative self in preparing the first-person account; theses on the short story of Ricardo Piglia (1980) as operators for the gender approach, namely, a story always has two stories and the first is told in the interstices of the second; the comprehensive contribution of Bourneuf & Ouellet (1976) on the space in the narrative; the definition of "frontier" as the threshold that dwelleth by Wilson Alves-Bezerra (2008); the contributions of social theory of Pierre Bourdieu (1989) on the performativity of space, variable that focuses on the real perception schemes. Check the literary fantastic resources in veigueana writing gave rise establish the second time, based on proposals of David Roas (2008; 2011; 2012; 2014) about the actual transgression and implications in the literary fantastic; Todorov (2006; 2003; 2013) on the actual represented; Jean Paul Sartre (1947) about the fantastic works specifically Aminadab by Maurice Blanchot, The Process (1925) and The Castle (1926), Franz Kafka, whose comparison allowed the critical recognize the space within the space and the identification the player with the hero, as expressive features of "ancient technique", surpassed the work of 1926 Czech author; Patricia Garcia (2012) about the fantastic space when the unusual event is the world itself and not caused by an external agent. The results of undertaken research allowed: recognize, in Veiga, emphasis on "space within space" and "reader's identification with the hero," the record of "ancient technique" of the literary fantastic, and the intention of questioning the human condition and the formation; the narrators are chosen from among those who established the account of the experience in the threshold at which begin to live in full secrecy, by modulating the "I". Clandestine space, react, envision the emancipation conditions faced by integrators and violent devices of the adult world and sometimes fight back. Thus, we show that the underground and the process for creating a space within the space performatively focus on the narrator-boy perception schemes of reality.

O foco dessa dissertação é o estudo do narrador de uma importante fase da obra em prosa de Samuel Beckett. O período escolhido inicia-se com as novelas Premier Amour (1970), Lexpulsé, Le calmant e La fin (1955), primeiros textos em francês do autor, e encerra-se com a obra Textes pour rien (1955), o que abrange a produção em prosa de Beckett entre 1945 e 1950. A importância deste período está no surgimento e desdobramento do narrador em primeira pessoa tipicamente beckettiano, caracterizado por seu discurso instável, movido a impasses e questionamentos sobre a própria história narrada. O trabalho acompanha a trajetória deste narrador, discutindo também seu importante papel na ruptura com os moldes do realismo formal na narrativa do século XX. / This dissertation studies the narrator in Samuel Beckett s prose, particularly focusing on a critical phase in the authors literary production covering the years of 1945 to 1950. The chosen period begins with the novellas Premier Amour (1970), Lexpulsé, Le calmant and La fin (1955) Becketts first narratives written in French and closes with the work Textes pour rien (1955). The importance of this phase lies in the creation and development of Becketts characteristic first person narrator, whose unstable discourse is fraught with impasses, questioning the very story being narrated. The dissertation follows this narrators journey to discuss the key role it played in breaking with formal realism patterns of the twentieth centurys narrative.

This dissertation uses a functional systemic approach to language to examine the construction of the respective first-person narrators of nine of the most popular, commercially successful and therefore influential African American slave narratives published between 1837 and 1862 (Roper, Grandy, Douglass, Brown, Bibb, Northup, Ball, Jacobs, Picquet). This corpus of more than 410,000 words was scanned for various linguistic features such as transitivity of verbs, nominalizations, and several syntactic features. The texts chosen differ as to their methods of production. Some of them were written by the first person narrators themselves, while others were either extensively edited, dictated to an amanuensis, or in some other way controlled. The dialectics of creation and representation through language results in the leading question in this study: how do the first-person slave narrators identify and create a personality for themselves through their texts? This dissertation thus focuses on the linguistic means by which the first-person slave narrator creates what is defined as a “discoursal self”, which helped the narrators to achieve one of their most important goals, namely, to be accepted as reliable. The dissertation consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 introduces a sociohistorical account of slavery, resistance against slavery, abolition, and the development of the slave narrative. The chapter shows that the African American slave narrative was not a completely new and original genre but an amalgamation of a variety of preexisting white and black literary forms. The second chapter is more theoretical and deals with discourse, power, and ideology in the slave narrative. Chapter 3 approaches the language of the slave narrative. The small corpus of scholarly texts that tackle language and style in this genre is reviewed. As an alternative to these approaches, critical discourse analysis (CDA) according to Norman Fairclough is suggested. It eliminates the a priori categorization of specific linguistic features as stylistically significant, because it is based on a functional view of language that perceives linguistic expression as choice on various levels. Every choice is considered meaningful and, according to its presence, absence, or clustering in a given co-text, potentially stylistic. Michael Halliday’s systemic functional grammar is introduced as the basis for the ensuing text analysis. Chapter 4 introduces the first quantitative observations about the density and distribution of the first-person singular pronoun in the narratives. This characteristic is then placed in relation to syntactic condensation in the forms of ellipsis, finiteness and nominalization, all of which are reviewed quantitatively. Finally, this chapter introduces the system of transitivity according to Halliday, Matthiessen, and others. It explains the distinction between the individual process types and provides a quantitative overview of the individual transitivity profiles within each narrative. Chapter 5 represents the main part of this dissertation. Each of the nine narratives is analyzed individually as to the presence of the I-pronoun in the text and the use and distribution of process types. In this way patterns of foregrounded or favored usages against absences of others emerge and contribute to the discoursal selves that the individual narrators present/construct of themselves. These preferred usages in general as well as in their local distributions are examined in detail. The quantitative observations supply the basis for further qualitative analyses derived from a large number of examples from the texts. Thus it is possible to show that each of the narratives is linguistically unique, which results in an individual construction of the respective I-narrator. The use of pronouns, process types and syntactic reconfigurations reveals how control over the activities as well as over the text is constructed, which can be directly related to issues of power. The Summary provides a synopsis of the previous quantitative and qualitative analyses and associates the quantitative results with characteristics of written and oral texts in general. Finally, it thus becomes possible to rank the nine narratives on a cline between predominantly oral and chiefly written characteristics.
