AFRIKAANS: Die eksegeet word in die boek Habakuk gekonfronteer met probleemareas op verskillende vlakke. In die verlede is historiese oplossings vir die probleemareas aangebied. Die doel van hierdie studie was om 'n omvattende literêr-eksegetiese analise van die boek te maak en daarvolgens oplossings vir die probleemareas te soek. Uit 'n oorsigtelike navorsingsgeskiedenis van die boek het dit geblyk dat die histories-kritiese benadering geen bevredigende oplossings vir die probleemareas kan aanbied nie. 'n Komprehensiewe literêr-eksegetiese analise van die boek is ge-implementeer as werkbare alternatief vir 'n historiese benadering. Uit die analise het dit geblyk dat die boek Habakuk 'n literêre eenheid is. Elke onderdeel van die boek lewer 'n bydrae tot die verstaan daarvan. Twee sentrale temas speel dwarsdeur die boek 'n rol. Die eerste is die temporele spanning tussen hede, toekoms en verlede. Die boek begin met 'n krisis in die hede ( 1 :2-17). In die antwoord van Jahwe word die fokus na die toekoms verskuif (2: 1- 20). Eers wanneer die profeet die groot verlossingsdade van God in die verlede in herinnering roep (3: 1-19), kan hy sy vertroue in God stel. Die tweede tema is die rol van Jahwe, die goddelose en die regverdige. In die loop van die boek verander die rol van Jahwe van dié van 'n passiewe toeskouer na die van aktiewe Verlosser. Die goddelose is aanvanklik magtig, maar word uiteindelik vernietig. Aanvanklik ly die regverdige aan die hand van die goddelose, nogtans word die boek afgesluit met 'n ongekwalifiseerde vertrouensuitspraak. Die boek vertoon op semantiese vlak 'n antiteties-konsentriese struktuur. Hoofstuk 1 en 3 verteenwoordig twee pole, naamlik wanhoop en vertroue. Die keerpunt word in 2:4-Sb beskryf. Wanneer die boek as literêre eenheid gelees word, is dit nie langer nodig om elke onderdeel aan 'n spesifieke historiese gebeurtenis te koppel nie. Daardeur word die problematiek van die boek in 'n ander perspektief geplaas. ENGLISH: The book of Habakkuk presents many problems for the exegete. Historical solutions have usually been proposed to these problems. The aim of this study was to address the problems after a comprehensive literary-exegetical analysis of the book has been made. The history of exegesis of the book of Habakkuk was investigated. From this it became evident that the historical-critical approach could not provide adequate answers to the problems. Instead of a historical approach, a comprehensive literary analysis of the book was implemented. It became clear that the book of Habakkuk is a literary unit and that each part provides vital information for the understanding of the book. Two main themes occur throughout the book. The first is that of a temporal tension between present, future and past. The book commences with a crisis in the present (1:2-17). The answer of Yahveh moves the attention to the future (2:1-20). Only when the prophet remembers the great saving acts of Yahveh in the past (3:1-19), is he able to put his trust in God. The second recurrent theme is that of the role of Yahveh and that of the wicked and the righteous. At first, Yahveh is portrayed as a passive spectator. In the end he becomes the mighty saviour. The wicked, on the other hand, are mighty in the beginning, but are eventually annihilated. Although the righteous suffer in chapter 1, the book ends with an unqualified confession of trust. On the semantic level, the structure of the book can be described as antithetically concentric. Chapter 1 and 3 represent two poles, namely that of despair and trust. The turning point is represented by 2:4-Sb. By reading the book as a literary unit, the need for a historical interpretation of each seperate part thereof is obviated. A literary approach therefore presents a new perspective to the exegetical problems of the book. / Thesis (DD)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Old Testament Studies / unrestricted

Over the past two decades the contribution of postmigrant literature to Germany's literary landscape has attracted significant scholarly interest. This study investigates selected prose of Turkish-German authors. Six primary texts are reconceived as "transgressive" as they intervene in contemporary spatial, especially urban and global discourses. They employ diverse "spatial tactics" by citing conventional dichotomies (local-global, West-East) in order to abandon and replace them subsequently with dynamic views on space and time. This thesis proposes a new theoretical model of literary analyses in order to grasp the multidimensional aspects of space. Thereby, Lotman's cultural semiotics is used as springboard to expand the model throughout the readings of the texts. By including additional theories on space from disciplines such as gender studies (Gleber; Weigel), urban geography(Lynch; Downs/Stea), cultural-historical psychology (Nora; Assmann) and postcolonial criticism (Said), this analysis focuses on narrative strategies that challenge physical and conceptual concepts of boundaries. The originality of this approach lies in a perceptive, thorough reading of textual productions of space that refrains from pinpointing the texts as homogenous minority literature. The theoretical model examines spatial motifs and themes inherent in the primary texts while disregarding the alleged "foreignness" of the authors. Each of the main chapters discusses two works focusing on the dimensions gender-space, memory-space and geography-space: Emine S. Ozdamar's Die Brikke vom Goldenen Horn and Aysel Ozakin's Die Blaue Maske are analyzed as novels transgressing gender-coded urban spaces. The Berlin settings in Aras Oren's Berlin Savignyplatz and Zafer Senocak's Gefahrliche Verwandtschaft are conceived as multi-discursive fragments shedding new light on German "realms of memory". Yade Kara's Selam Berlin and Feridun Zaimoglu's Zwolf Gramm Gluck are investigated in relation to "glocal" dislocations and Oriental imaginations. This dissertation makes two key contributions to German literary studies: First, it proposes an alternative reading to the common practice of categorizing postmigrant literature by cultural heritage and generation by putting forward the idea that writers adopt manifold perspectives on spatial configurations. Second, by reading literary spaces through an alternate disciplinary lens, this dissertation reads the texts as multilayered complexities of spatial presentations and advocates a comparative, text-centered method of literary analysis. / Arts, Faculty of / Central Eastern Northern European Studies, Department of / Graduate

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the period of relative economic and artistic freedom that occurred during the time of the New Economic Policy (1921-1924). The general failure in agriculture and in industrial productivity forced the Soviet regime to allow diversions from the orthodox Marxist view of state ownership of the tools of production. Because of the need to start the wheels of production turning, the minor landowners, small manufacturers and petty profiteers took to the task in hope of financial gains. This economic environment, uncontrolled by the Communist Party, reflected itself in the relatively chaotic "artistic scene". Amongst the many literary groups that appeared during the early 1920's, I dwell mostly upon the Serapion Brothers and the members of that group, singling out for more intense study Mikhail Zoshchenko: his artistry and his struggle for artistic freedom. / Arts, Faculty of / Central Eastern Northern European Studies, Department of / Graduate

Paulo, elaboradas, em sua maioria, por professores, bem como críticos, poetas e tradutores, as quais dedicam algum espaço à reflexão que envolve a prática tradutória. Ao utilizarmo-nos dessas resenhas, pretendemos mostrar o "entrelaçamento" existente entre a crítica de tradução e a crítica literária, problematizando suas distinções, a partir dos pressupostos que norteiam tais práticas. Além de apresentar, caracterizar e examinar a contribuição da crítica no que tange à sua novidade e aos seus propósitos, propomos uma avaliação de sua perspectiva e do alcance de suas propostas. Nesta pesquisa, toma-se evidente o fato de os críticos privilegiarem um modo de traduzir que conservaria as características da língua-fonte, enquanto condenam a falta de fidelidade. É essa rejeição à tradução dita "infiel" que se denomina de gesto essencialista. A desconstrução denuncia não só esse pressuposto metafísico, que implica no predomínio de um modelo binário, a exemplo das oposições tradução-original, fidelidade-recriação, mas também o julgamento enquanto principal critério no comentário de uma obra literária traduzida para o português brasileiro. O propósito deste trabalho consiste em trazer à tona os conflitos presentes nas proposições críticas, revelando-lhes o terreno comum - a fidelidade -, seja na literalidade, seja na criação tradutória. Além disso, pretendemos demonstrar o quanto as novas tendências acerca da investigação sobre a tradução revelam-se de forma surpreendente nos discursos aparentemente exteriores ao meio universitário. Tal é o caso da desconstrução, que expõe a impossibilidade da idiossincrasia do discurso tradutório em cada campo de investigação, questionando as distinções defendidas pelo cientificismo nas ciências humanas, em especial na Lingüística Aplicada / Abstract: This dissertation examines the concepts of translation criticism, since from the evaluator essays on translation written by Brazilians critics, teachers, translators, and poets, gathered from the journal articlesedited at the Mais! supplement of the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, in which they devote some space to the consideration that involves the translation practice. In using these essays, one intends to show the "interweaving" between the translation criticism and literary criticism, troubling their distinctions, from the premises that guide such practices. My study, besides presenting, characterizing and examining the contribution of the criticism with respect to its innovativeness and purposes, proposes an evaluation of its perspectives and extensions and its premises. In this study, it becomes clear fact that these critics privilege a translation method, which would preserve the source language characteristics, and condemns the lack of fidelity, as they have been claimingin the following articles.This rejection to the translation is hereon denominated "essentialist". Thus, the deconstruction reveals not only metaphysics premises that denounce the predorninance of a binary model, such as the oppositions: translation-original, fidelity-recreation, but also the judgment like main criteria on the commend about translated literary work to the Brazilian Portuguese. The purpose of this work consists at bringing to the surface the conflicts presented in the critical propositions, revealing to them the common ground - the fidelity, whether in the literality, whether in the translation creation. In addition, demonstrating how much the new tendencies about the translation research show themselves, in a remarkable manner, on the apparently outer discourses from the universitary environment. The deconstruction exposing the impossibility of the translation discourse idiosyncrasy in each field of investigation - distinctions supported by the scientificism at the Humanities, specially on the Applied Linguistics / Mestrado / Mestre em Linguística Aplicada

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar as condições e possibilidades do feminismo de Virginia Woolf à luz do momento sócio-econômico e cultural em que viveu e do qual foi um dos ícones. Por causa de sua formação e do panorama histórico da época, suas posições assumem um caráter extremamente ambíguo. Este estudo mostra que a autora oscila entre ser ícone de toda uma geração e outsider, romancista e crítica literária, intelectual e leitora comum, senhora das letras e feminista, crítica do gosto e proponente de uma nova estética literária, vitoriana esnobe e modernista. Tanto sua natureza criativa quanto os elementos propostos em sua estética literária resultam de sua visão de mundo e de sua relação ambígua com a realidade. / The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the conditions and possibilities of Virginia Woolf’s feminism in the light of the social, economical and cultural environment in which she lived and of which she became one of the icons. Because of her background and of the historical setting of her time, her positions take on an extremely ambiguous character. This study shows that the author bends from a whole generation icon to an outsider, from novelist to literary critic, from highbrow to common reader, from lady of letters to feminist, from “woman of taste” to proponent of a new literary aesthetics, from Victorian snob to modernist. Both her creative nature and the elements she suggests in her literary aesthetics result from her view of the world and from her ambiguous relationship with reality.
