Dans notre travail qui porte sur les productions romanesques majeures de Marguerite Yourcenar, nous nous sommes proposé de suivre deux axes d’investigation : d’un côté, l’écriture de l’histoire, qui s’avère être indissolublement liée à une vision mythique du monde ; et de l’autre, l’écriture de soi, celle-ci amplement définie par les conceptions empruntées au bouddhisme qui cherchent à dénoncer l’illusion du « je » et la vacuité substantielle de toute notion identitaire. Ceci dit, nous avons tâché de montrer que l’écriture autobiographique de notre auteur devient amplement problématisée pour être muée enfin en une écriture hétérobiographique. De même, nous avons essayé de dégager une certaine réversibilité de thèmes et de procédés narratifs qui est à l’origine de la fluctuation générique des œuvres romanesques de M. Yourcenar / In our paper, we suggest two planes of the examination of Marguerite Yourcenar’s major novels: on the one hand, her novels are seen as a form of a narrative indistinguishably associated with a mythic vision of the world; on the other hand, they are seen as the writing of the self, utterly defined by the concepts based on Buddhism that denounce the illusion of ‘’I’’ and substantially leave out the notion of identity. Having stated this, we endeavor to show that the autobiographical writing of the author in question becomes greatly problematized as it is being misinterpreted as a heterobiographic piece of writing. We have also tried to clear out some uncertainties about themes and narrative procedures which are the basis of generic fluctuations of Marguerite Yourcenar’s novels

Authors like Waldemar Hatoum and stand out, such as promoters and imaginary in his works reveal the values, beliefs, experiences and behaviors experienced by his characters in the Amazon region. A collection of (poetry) songs of poet and composer Waldemar Henrique translates through mythic narratives sung, the riverine life full of language itself in the Amazon region and indigenous traditions, enriched content about seduction, charm forest, private wealth, religiosity; respect for beings of the forest. The poet seems to perpetuate the Amazonian culture through art spoken and sung. In Hatoum, narratives of native people reveal a space full of conflict, establishing his characters search for a perfect place, the lost Eden in the early times and continually sought by man. Waldemar and Hatoum show that the myths and legends, even if understood as a product of the imagination, in fact interfere with those who believe in them and mark the characterization of identity Amazon. The adopted methodological resources are divided into literature, documentary and analysis tools (and narrative compositions) of the authors in question.To achieve the objectives, the research develops a descriptive way, which shows that Waldemar and Hatoum, record that the Amazon myths still flourish robust, contributing to a polyphony of voices heard in the region, disclosing a place of vast imaginary dimensions, whose inventory accounts, will never be closed / A Dissertação propõe detectar por meio da análise de cinco composições das chamadas Série Lendas Amazônicas , do paraense Waldemar Henrique, e da novela Órfãos do Eldorado , do amazonense Milton Hatoum, as marcas das narrativas míticas na formação identitária regional. As narrativas míticas na Amazônia são fundadas no imaginário caboclo e ricas de episódios fantásticos, os quais passaram a servir de temática ao longo dos anos, para a inspiração poética e construções literárias. Autores como Waldemar e Hatoum destacam-se, como divulgadores desse imaginário e revelarem em suas obras os valores, as crenças, experiências e comportamentos vivenciados pelas suas personagens no contexto amazônico. A coletânea de (poesias) canções do poeta e compositor Waldemar Henrique traduz, por meio de narrativas míticas cantadas, a vida ribeirinha recheada de linguajar próprio da região amazônica e de tradições indígenas, enriquecidas de conteúdos sobre sedução; encantos da floresta; riquezas particulares, religiosidade; respeito aos seres da mata. O poeta parece querer perpetuar a cultura amazônica por meio da arte falada e cantada. Em Hatoum, as narrativas do povo nativo revelam um espaço cheio de conflitos, estabelecendo a busca de suas personagens por um lugar perfeito, o Éden perdido no início dos tempos e continuamente procurado pelo homem. Waldemar e Hatoum mostram que os mitos e as lendas, mesmo sendo compreendidas como produto do imaginário, interferem na realidade daqueles que nelas acreditam e marcam a caracterização da identidade amazônica. Os recursos metodológicos adotados dividem-se em pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e análise dos instrumentos (composições e narrativa) dos autores em questão. Para alcançar os objetivos, a pesquisa se desenvolve de forma descritiva, a qual mostra que Waldemar e Hatoum, registram que na Amazônia os mitos ainda vicejam robustos, contribuindo para uma polifonia de vozes ouvida na região, divulgando um lugar de amplas dimensões imaginárias, cujas contas do inventário, jamais serão fechadas

The material was collected through bibliographical researches and interviews. This work aims to explain how the urban legend phenomenon is constituted of media production and historical and cultural environment, plus social, political and cultural mediations and impacts over daily life. The urban legend in this work is seen as an actualization of tradition, which is build in a mobile cultural network that involves orality and multiple media supports (such as newspaper, internet, mobile phone). This creative network reveals anxieties, interdictions, fears and prescriptions of a determined society in a determined place. The main references of this research are the contemporary legend studies, such as Paul Smith, Gillian Bennet, Jean-Bruno Renard, Jean-Nöel Kapferer, Véronique Campion-Vincent; the ideia of mythpoetics found in the work of Eleazar Meletinski; the cultural studies of Jerusa Pires Ferreira and Jesus Martin-Barbero; the idea of semiosphere, from Iuri Lotman. The collected material is analyzed in its internal and external aspects. The goal is to understand how each urban legend is constituted and how it operates in determined society and place / Esta dissertação mapeia, processa e analisa as narrativas populares contemporâneas que circulam no Brasil, a partir de pesquisas bibliográficas e de entrevistas. O objetivo é refletir sobre o fenômeno lenda urbana a partir das relações entre a produção midiática e o ambiente histórico e cultural, implicando, nesse recorte, as mediações e os impactos sociais, políticos e tecnológicos na organização da vida cotidiana. A lenda urbana é aqui vista como uma atualização de repertórios da tradição, que se articulam numa rede de cultura viva e móvel, que envolve oralidade e migra de suportes (para jornal, internet), em uma rede de recriação, revelando anseios, prescrições, interdições e desejos de determinada sociedade, em determinado espaço. As referências teóricas estão ligadas ao estudo do lendário contemporâneo, como Paul Smith, Gillian Bennet, Jean-Bruno Renard, Jean-Nöel Kapferer, Véronique Campion-Vincent; à idéia de mitopoética de Eleazar Meletínski; à constituição de sociabilidades no espaço urbano, em Janice Caiafa; ao conceito de cultura das bordas , de Jerusa Pires Ferreira, e de produção popular-massiva , de Jesús Martín-Barbero; à multiplicidade de suportes na comunicação e constituição de novas maneiras de expressar, como em Lúcia Santaella. Toda essa discussão é apoiada, no background, pela semiótica da cultura de Iuri Lótman e seu conceito de semiosfera, e o material recolhido é analisado em seus aspectos internos e externos , com a finalidade de compreender o modo de ser e a inserção de cada lenda urbana em determinado ambiente

in English The master thesis is concerned with the analysis and interpretation of English written travelogues of the second half of the 18th century, which described Spain and Portugal. I work with two original texts and one translation from Italian, all texts were popular among their readers. The main goal of the thesis is to create the complex image of both respective countries and their inhabitants, based on the analysis of travelogues. As the fundamental concept of the thesis, I use so-called Black Legend, the negative view of the Iberian Peninsula originating in the 16th century. At the same time, the aim of the thesis is to compare the images in all works and come to more general conclusions about English perception of Spain and Portugal. Keywords: Spain, Portugal, travelogues, image of the Other, Black Legend, Southey, Baretti, Young

The diploma thesis deals with the legend of St. George, deals with its processing in the Renaissance Florence and presents monuments with this motif from Italy and Czech territory. The aim of the diploma thesis is the interconnection of the theoretical and practical part. Inspiration became the ceramic reliefs made by Renaissance artists, in particular the della Robbia family. The work will be supplemented by an unconventional technique of processing porcelain paper with the motive of St. George. The theoretical part discusses the life of St. George, deals with the mission of the saint and tells the legendary story of victory over the dragon. Also included are documents that provide a deeper analysis of the legend of St. John the Baptist, as well as the iconography that discusses the St George's legend from the point of view of Christian beliefs. In the practical part, the theoretical part will be used for the processing of composite material from paper and porcelain with motive of St. George the dragonslayer.

The aim of this thesis was to compare the use of the Hasli legend in Sweden and Switzerland during the 19th century. The Hasli legend, which derives from the middle ages, talks about Swedes and Frisians that emigrated to the central part of Switzerland. By comparing the use of the myth in the two nations I wanted to analyze how it was used for shaping identities and how the use varied with, and was affected by, the social context. I have studied historians work about the national Swedish and Swiss history, published during the 19th century. I chose the comparative method and have taken the social context and transnational aspects into consideration. The use of the myth was more uniform in Sweden than in Switzerland, but in both countries the myth was related to the nation and its origin. The national identity is emphasized, but is overlapping other identities. In both countries the use of the myth originates from the ideas of nationalism and national romanticism, but while the use of the myth in Sweden can be explained by the Gothicism and the idea of a Scandinavian nation, the use of the myth in Switzerland was a result of the creation of the Swiss nation in the 19th century. / Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka Haslisagans identitetsskapande funktion i Sverige och Schweiz under 1800-talet. Sägnen som härstammar från medeltiden handlar om att utvandrare från Sverige och Friesland ska ha bosatt sig i Schweiz. Genom att jämföra bruket av sägnen i de två nationella rummen ville jag undersöka hur skapandet av identiteter varierade med och påverkades av den samhälleliga kontexten. Jag har undersökt historikers verk utgivna under 1800-talet, som behandlar den schweiziska respektive svenska nationella historien. Bruket av sägnen har undersökts genom en komparativ ansats, där den samhälleliga kontexten och transnationella aspekter har tagits i beaktande i analysen av resultatet. Undersökningen visar att bruket av sägnen var mer enhetligt i Sverige än i Schweiz, men i samtliga verk länkas sägnen samman med den egna nationen och dess ursprung. Den nationella identiteten betonas, men är överlappande med andra identiteter. Bruket av sägnen kan i båda länderna länkas samman med nationalismen och nationalromantiska idéer, men medan det svenska bruket av sägnen förklaras med göticistiska och samskandinaviska idéer, så svarar det schweiziska bruket av sägnen mot behovet att skapa en schweizisk nation.

I den här uppsatsen har jag gjort en tematisk läsning av de dystopiska ungdomstrilogierna Hungerspelstrilogin, Divergenttrilogin och Legendtrilogin, vilket jag har gjort med fokus på temat kosmetika och utsmyckning. Syftet var att undersöka de genusmönster som existerar kring kosmetikan och utsmyckningen, liksom dess förhållande till klass och ålder. Jag kommer i uppsatsen fram till att kosmetika och utsmyckning bärs frivilligt av överklass och onda karaktärer och att det tvingas på de flickor, och i viss mån även de pojkar, som är böckernas huvudpersoner. Böckerna tycks bekräfta åsikten att kosmetikan är något förkastligt och påtvingat av patriarkatet. Tvånget kommer dock i böckerna inte enbart ifrån patriarkatet utan också från överklassen. Uppdelningen mellan vad som är okej för flickor och pojkar att bära ser i stort sett likadan ut som i dagens samhälle, trots framtidsskildringens möjligheter att måla upp något nytt. De som frivilligt bär kosmetika och utsmyckning är oftast farliga, såsom onda ledare eller förtryckande överklass. Det feminina nedvärderas i böckerna mer än det könsneutrala (även om kritik kring det neutrala också förekommer) och det kvinnliga nedvärderas starkare än det flickiga. Även om flickorna finner att dekorationen kan vara användbar har den litet eller inget värde då den inte fyller en annan funktion än skönhet. Resultatet blir destruktivt då flickor och kvinnor vänds mot varandra och sig själva. Dessutom blir ramen för vad som är okej snävare då de både ska vara vackra, men inte bry sig om det. Det bekräftar också de genusmönster och förväntningar som säger att flickan ska vara passiv och vacker.
