Este estudo é, no essencial, uma reflexão acerca da produção, do método e da construção da linguagem crítica de Benedito Nunes. Tal crítica é entendida como uma leitura hermenêutica perpassada por um discurso em confrontação filosófica e literária, em que outras vozes, em vários momentos, misturam-se à sua identidade escritural, como as de Nietzsche, de Heidegger, de Ricoeur... O que se pretende, antes de tudo, é acompanhar os passos da sua hermenêutica, realçar a problemática que ele imprime ao seu texto; qual seja, o repensar crítico das questões do Homem, do Mundo, em um ato de interpretação que, como lembra Foucault, enreda o próprio intérprete e o faz interpretar-se a si mesmo. Assim, no primeiro capítulo, denominado \"Uma incursão à obra e ao pensamento de Benedito Nunes\", a intenção foi a de ressaltar seus principais escritos, a recepção crítica à sua obra e a linha interpretativa em que se move. O segundo, intitulado \"A crítica crítico-reflexiva de Benedito Nunes\", foi dividido em quatro momentos representativos das preponderantes características do seu corpus ensaístico: 1. a crítica definida como tensão entre a escrita dos escritores e a leitura dos críticos; 2. o confronto de idéias estéticas e poéticas; 3. as raízes filosóficas como marcas do discurso teórico-crítico; e 4. o traço da historicização e o uso do ensaio. Por fim, em \"A opacidade crítica: a linguagem na divisa entre o conceitual e a criação de imagens\", a preocupação foi a de pôr em relevo a sua prática de leitura hermenêutica, o modo como tece a sua linguagem crítica, em que se sobressai inscrito, por vezes, o metafórico. / This study is essentially a reflection about the critical work of Benedito Nunes, in what regards its language and its method. Its language is regarded as a hermeneutical reading where the voices of other literary and philosophical authors as Nietzsche, Heidegger, Ricoeur etc. are heard and whose speeches intermingle with the author`s speech. In what concerns its method, we tried to accompany the steps of Nunes` hermeneutics in order to stress what he aims at with his texts: the critical interpretations of the questions of Man and World which - as Foucault puts it - results in the author making his own interpretation. In the first chapter , \" An incursion into the work and the thought of Benedito Nunes\" we first tried to consider his main texts in accordance with his critical interpretation and to make an exaustive review of his critical reception. The second chapter \" Benedito Nunes` critical-reflexive criticism\" was divided into what we consider the four main characteristics of his essays:1. criticism as a tension between the writing of the authors and the reading of the critics; 2. the confrontation between aesthetic and poetic ideas; 3. the philosophical roots of his theorethical-critical speech; 4. the way historicism and essaysm are being used in his work; And finally, in our last chapter \" Critical opacity: language between concept and image\" we wanted to evidentiate the kind of Benedito Nunes` hermeneutical reading and the construction of his critical language where metaphore sometimes emerges in its relevant role.

A compilação de textos nos periódicos, além de possibilitar a identificação das principais leituras de Benedito Nunes, incorporadas à concepção de sua crítica, com leituras iniciais dos filósofos cristãos, São Tomás de Aquino, Pascal e especialmente, um precursor do existencialismo, Kierkegaard, que vai ser uma constante nas análises do ensaísta brasileiro, permite traçar a trajetória intelectual de Benedito Nunes, particularmente como crítico literário. Este, posteriormente, vai acrescentar em suas análises as ideias de Sartre e Heidegger. Com relação especificamente a Heidegger, o qual Nunes estuda durante toda a sua vida, verifica-se a concepção ontológica da criação artística pela linguagem verbal, que, para o filósofo alemão corresponde à fundação do ser pela palavra. Com respeito à divisão deste estudo, o primeiro volume contém a trajetória intelectual de Benedito Nunes, bem como as análises do material compilado nos periódicos e de dois livros do crítico brasileiro (O mundo de Clarice Lispector (ensaio), de 1966 e O dorso do tigre, 1969), enquanto que o segundo volume contém uma amostra do material compilado / Abstract: This dissertation, about the literary criticism of Benedito Nunes, divided in two parts, is based on a variety of textual genres (attempts to write novels, poems, aphorisms, chronicles on science, poetry and philosophy, interviews, criticism on poetry and novels). In other words, this study is about Nunes? first texts on some newspapers of Belém do Pará: "Supplement of Art and Literature", on the newspaper Folha do Norte (1946-1951), in which the author starts his career as a literary critic, also writing on magazines such as Encontro (1948) and Norte (1952). This study is also based on Benedito Nunes? writings on other newspapers of Brazil, such as the "Sunday Supplement" of Jornal do Brasil and on the supplements of journals like O Estado de São Paulo and O Estado de Minas Gerais (texts containing analysis of poems, novels and philosophy); and, still, Nunes? first books: O mundo de Clarice Lispector (1966) and O dorso do tigre (1969). The latter causes the writer to be considered one of the exponents of modern literary criticism in the second half of the twentieth century in Brazil, mainly of the works of art of writers who published from the decade of 1940 on, namely, Clarice Lispector, Guimarães Rosa and João Cabral de Melo Neto, just to name a few. The compilation of the texts published on journals, besides enabling the identification of the main readings of Benedito Nunes, which were incorporated to the conception of his criticism, considering some Christian philosophers as Saint Thomas Aquinas, Pascal, and, particularly, a precursor of existentialism, Kierkegaard, which will be constant in the analysis of the Brazilian author, makes it possible to trace the intellectual path followed by Benedito Nunes, specially as a literary critic. The writer will, lately, add the ideas of Sartre and Heidegger to his analysis. Specifically considering Heidegger, who Nunes studies throughout his whole life, it is possible to see the ontological conception of artistic creation by verbal language, which, to the German philosopher, corresponds to the foundation of the self by the word. Regarding the division of this study, the first part contains the intellectual path Benedito Nunes followed, as well as analysis of the material compiled from the newspapers and from the two books of this Brazilian critic. The second part contains a sample of the material which was compiled / Doutorado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Doutora em Teoria e História Literária

Abstract This study focuses on representations of multiculturalism in children’s literature. Children’s books are seen as cultural products which do not only reflect but also construct our social reality. The research consists of four peer-reviewed articles and a summary part. This interdisciplinary research is theoretically positioned in both cultural studies and social sciences, with the key concepts of multiculturalism, identity, ethnicity, racism and anti-racism. More specifically, the study contributes to the discussions of multicultural children’s literature as both pedagogy and art. The methodological-theoretical framework is based on the social constructionist approach. Language is understood as socially, historically, sociopolitically and ideologically constructed; hence performativity, discourse and representation are considered as key concepts of the analysis. Intersectionality functions as both a theoretical framework which guides the understanding of multiculturalism, as well as an analytical tool for examining the data. The data consists of children’s picturebooks which are analysed by applying the method of close reading. Intersectional analysis also makes the numerous sociocultural categories, i.e. ethnicity, nationality, gender, language, dis/ability and age visible in the studied books. The results show that representations of multiculturalism are connected to the ideas of nationality, which again relates to the ideas of belonging and exclusion – often meaning Finnish/non-Finnish division. The representations of multiculturalism can reproduce and circulate discourses of differentiation, and thus legitimise exclusion and marginalisation of people. However, picturebooks can also display representations of multiculturalism that challenge the normative assumptions of ‘difference’ and ‘normal’. In the studied books, challenging the dominant sociopolitical discourses seems to further the understanding of ‘us’ in a more inclusive way which then might prevent exclusion of people who differ from the ‘norm’. The didactic quality of children’s books is manifest in anti-racist strategies with the aim of reducing racism by making it visible. The study shows that children’s literature offers possibilities for readers to question implicit assumptions about the self and other, and thus can support readers in becoming more culturally aware and sensitive. / Tiivistelmä Tämän tutkimuksen keskiössä ovat lastenkirjallisuudessa esiintyvät monikulttuurisuuden representaatiot. Tarkastelen lastenkirjallisuutta kulttuurisena tuotteena, joka ei ainoastaan heijasta vaan myös rakentaa sosiaalista todellisuutta. Tutkimus rakentuu neljästä vertaisarvioudusta artikkelista sekä yhteenveto-osasta. Tutkimus on monitieteinen, ja sijoittuu sekä kulttuurintutkimuksen että yhteiskuntatieteiden kenttään. Keskeisiä käsitteitä ovat monikulttuurisuus, identiteetti, etnisyys, rasismi ja anti-rasismi. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan lastenkirjallisuutta sekä pedagogiikan välineenä että taiteellisena tuotteena. Tutkimuksen metodologis-teoreettisen perustan muodostaa sosiaalinen konstruktivismi. Kieli ymmärretään sosiaalisesti, historiallisesti, poliittisesti ja ideologisesti rakentuneena, ja analyysin avainkäsitteitä ovat performatiivisuus, diskurssi ja representaatio. Tutkimuksen aineisto koostuu lasten kuvakirjoista, joiden analysoinnissa on hyödynnetty lähiluvun tekniikkaa. Intersektionaalisuus toimii teoreettisena viitekehyksenä, mutta se tarjoaa myös sopivan analyysivälineen mahdollistaen erilaisten sosiaalisten kategorioiden (etnisyys, kansalaisuus, sukupuoli, kieli, kyvykkyys, ikä) tekemisen näkyviksi aineistossa. Tulosten mukaan monikulttuurisuus kuvataan usein kansalaisuuden kautta. Kansalaisuuden representaatioihin kiinnittyy kuulumisen ja poissulkemisen tematiikkaa, joka ilmenee usein suomalainen/ei-suomalainen-jaotteluna. Koska monikulttuurisuuden representaatiot tuottavat eroja korostavia diskursseja, ne myös aiheuttavat yksilöiden syrjäyttämistä. Lastenkirjallisuus sisältää toisaalta myös kuvauksia, jotka haastavat normatiivisen jaottelun ’erilaisuuteen’ ja ’normaaliin’. Dominoivien sosiaalisten ja poliittisten diskurssien haastaminen mahdollistaa meihin ja muihin liittyvien erontekojen monimuotoisemman ymmärtämisen. Näin normista poikkeavia yksilöitä ei suljeta ulkopuolelle yhtä herkästi. Lastenkirjojen didaktinen ominaisuus tulee esille erityisesti antirasistisina strategioina, joiden avulla rasismiin pyritään puuttumaan tekemällä se näkyväksi. Tutkimuksen mukaan lastenkirjallisuus tarjoaa lukijoille mahdollisuuksia kyseenalaistaa yksinkertaistavia oletuksia itsestä ja muista. Näin lastenkirjallisuus voi tukea lukijan kulttuurisen tietouden kehittymistä.

From the second half of the twentieth century, the West starts to record significant changes in the social, political, economic, ideological and cultural sphere. For many scholars/researchers, one of the central consequences of these changes is the consolidation of a globalized world, borders and national identities weakened or dissolved and lacking in grand narratives of utopian nature and homogenizing. Such globalized reality seems to resonate in the instance of cultural production and thus literary. One of the signs of this impact tends to be the appearance of certain narratives, to distance themselves from the most expressive modalities expressed by romance throughout modernity, requesting literary criticism defining new parameters for analysis and interpretation. Two examples, among others, of reports that seem to show a large gap in relation to expressions of romance in modernity are La vida en las Ventanas, the Spanish-Argentine writer Andrés Neuman and Berkeley in Bellagio, the author João Gilberto Noll. Assuming that these narratives present ties to the social, existential and spiritual atmosphere that is drawn in the West, from the second half of the last century, this work seeks to clarify, from the analysis of both narratives, that the understanding of the cultural and aesthetic sense of these reports depends on the definition of parameters differentiated analysis and interpretation of which were developed throughout modernity to the romance genre. In this sense, the work is structured from the review of relevant placements of literary criticism in Spain and Brazil today; recovery of the novel theories elaborated by authors such as Lukacs, Feher, Bakhtin, among others, and the review and discussion the thought of authors who try to explain the peculiarities of Western historical phase following the second world war, as Vattimo, Jameson, Anderson, Habermas, Lasch, etc.. It is concluded from the analysis of the works that the motives that drive the contemporary novelistic creation differ from that motivated formalization throughout modernity, the romance factor that leads to formal register modifications and requiring other analytical and interpretive devices. / A partir da segunda metade do século XX, o Ocidente passa a registrar mudanças significativas na esfera social, política, econômica, ideológica e cultural. Para muitos estudiosos, uma das consequências centrais dessas mudanças é a consolidação de um mundo globalizado, de fronteiras e identidades nacionais enfraquecidas, ou dissolvidas, e carente de grandes narrativas de cunho utópico e homogeneizante. Tal realidade globalizada parece repercutir na instância da produção cultural e, portanto, literária. Um dos sinais dessa repercussão tende a ser o aparecimento de certas narrativas que, ao se distanciarem das modalidades mais expressivas manifestadas pelo romance ao longo da modernidade, solicitam da crítica literária a definição de novos parâmetros de análise e interpretação. Dois exemplos, entre outros, de relatos que parecem exibir um distanciamento em relação às grandes expressões do romance na modernidade são La vida en las ventanas, do escritor hispano-argentino Andrés Neuman e Berkeley em Bellagio, do autor João Gilberto Noll. Partindo do pressuposto de que estas narrativas apresentam vínculos com a atmosfera social, existencial e espiritual que se desenha, no Ocidente, a partir da segunda metade do século passado, este trabalho busca explicitar, a partir da análise de ambas as narrativas, que o entendimento do sentido estético e cultural desses relatos depende da delimitação de parâmetros de análise e interpretação diferenciados dos que foram elaborados ao longo da modernidade para o gênero romance. Nesse sentido, o trabalho estrutura-se a partir da revisão de posicionamentos relevantes da crítica literária da Espanha e do Brasil na atualidade; da recuperação das teorias do romance elaboradas por autores como Lukács, Féher, Bakhtin, entre outros, e da revisão e discussão do pensamento de autores que tratam de explicar as particularidades da fase histórica ocidental posterior à Segunda Guerra Mundial, como Vattimo, Jameson, Anderson, Habermas, Lasch, etc. Conclui-se, a partir da análise das obras, que os motivos que impulsionam a criação romanesca na contemporaneidade diferem dos que motivaram sua formalização ao longo da modernidade, fator que leva o romance a registrar modificações formais e a requerer outros dispositivos analíticos e interpretativos.

Julius Wellhausen is known as the father of the Classical form of the source hypothesis. The purpose of this thesis is to examine Wellhausen‘s life, his greatest works and his influences on the study of the Pentateuch, including observing the process that paved the way for him to become the bearer of this title. Lastly, whether his source hypothesis has any relevance with the study of the Pentateuch in this day and age will also be answered. In the first chapter the role of Old Testament, critics like Spinoza, Simon, Astruc, De Wette, Hupfeld, Reuss, Kuenen and Graf will be examined. They all played a part in establishing the source hypothesis to which Wellhausen gave its final form. The era of the Enlightenment got momentum in the beginning of the nineteenth century. This movement also played a major role in creating the environment in which a critical examination of the Bible and its sources could be done. Wellhausen was influenced by this new way of thinking and was helped by the findings of other Old Testament critics that preceded him. In chapter two, his student life and the role of his teacher Heinrich Ewald will be examined. One of Wellhausen‘s aims was to write a history of Israel. To execute this he required sources. In chapter three, the first chapter (Genesis) of his book, Die Composition des Hexateuchs will be examined to get an idea of the method he used in the recognition, grouping and dating of the sources. The sources he identified in Genesis were the Yahwist, Elohist, Jehovist and Q (book of the four covenants and later called the Priestly source). Wellhausen used these sources to construct a history of Israel. In Chapter four an examination of his Geschichte Israels up to the beginning of the Christian era will be done. His greatest work was most certainly, his Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels and in chapter five this masterpiece will be examined with special emphasis on the first part, namely Geschichte des Kultus. After Wellhausen has compared the different sources with each other, he came to certain conclusions. During the religion of Israel there was a development that can be traced from the earlier sources of the Yahwist(J), Elohist(E) to Deuteronomy(D) and finally to the Priestly Source(P). Early sources indicate that the worship of Israel was a spontaneous and free willing act. There were no rules regarding the place of worship, sacrifice, the sacred feasts and the clergy. In Deuteronomy this have now changed and laws were introduced regarding these aspects which the Israelites should adhere to. In the Priestly Source these laws are now assumed. From the outcome of these findings, it was clear for Wellhausen that the Priestly Source is the youngest of the sources. Therefore P should be dated in the exile or post-exilic period. Chapter six is a summary of Wellhausen‘s source hypothesis and how his source hypothesis assisted other scholars during their own research and findings. This study will close with a modern view on his source hypothesis and its relevance for today. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Old Testament Studies / unrestricted

Within the Folds is a 70,000 word novel where prehistory and the near future meet together in a narrative examining the forces of evolution and duration. The work particularly focuses on the conceptual changes taking place in parenting models as biomedical science gives opportunities to reproductive paradigms which were previously impossible. Taking the premise that developments in human engineering are unstoppable, I explore the transgenic boundaries between 'natural evolution' and proactive human design, conceptually and thematically, as new models of gender roles within family life become inevitable.

Para o autor, existe uma indistinção entre poesia e filosofia, assim como entre poesia e crítica, que são saberes que se encontram em um “desguarnecimento de fronteiras”, cujo encontro se dá no interior da própria criação. Nessa perspectiva híbrida, buscar-se-á compreender a maneira pela qual ocorre a fusão entre esses campos, privilegiando o pensamento de pós-estruturalistas, como Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze e Giorgio Agamben, pensando, por conseguinte, na relação estabelecida entre homem e cidade, imagem e conceito, assim como na aproximação entre corpo e máquina, real e linguagem. / This research takes a reading of the work of Alberto Pucheu, bringing to light the discussion on the poetic, critical and philosophical work, seen as a creative attitude. For the author, there is a lack of distinction between poetry and philosophy, and between poetry and criticism which are knowledges that are in a "dissolving boundaries", whose encounter takes place within the creation itself. In this hybrid approach, will seek to understand the way in which the merger occurs between these fields, focusing on the post-structuralist thought, as Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze and Giorgio Agamben, thinking, therefore, the relationship between man and city, image and concept, as well as the rapprochement between body and machine, real and language.

Este trabalho está inserido no rol de estudos que procuraram analisar as relações entre a obra de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e as literaturas estrangeiras. O objetivo é apresentar uma reflexão sobre a presença francesa nos seus textos de crítica literária publicados de 1920 a 1930, período em que o crítico estabelece intenso diálogo com elementos culturais, literários e críticos franceses. As conclusões apontam para o retrato de um intelectual inserido no grupo radical do Modernismo em sua fase heroica, que compartilhava as inquietudes de sua geração a respeito da nacionalidade e da cultura de seu país e, ao mesmo tempo, aberto ao diálogo entre diversas literaturas e a França desempenha papel de relevo em suas considerações. / This thesis is part of the scholarly literature that aims at analyzing the relationship between Sergio Buarque de Holandas oeuvre and foreign literatures. The goal is to present a discussion on the presence of French literature in his texts on literary criticism published between 1920 and 1930, a period in which the author established an intense dialogue with French cultural, literary and scholarly elements. The conclusion presents a portrait of the scholar as part of the radical Modernist group in its so-called heroic stage, immersed in the disquietude typical of his generation toward his own nationality and national culture but, at the same time, open to dialogue with the various literatures of the world, among which the French one plays an important role in his considerations.

In this thesis, I demonstrate how analysis through literary criticism can provide a commentary on Appalachian song. While literary analysis of both sacred and secular song lyrics is an approach that is largely overlooked in this region’s traditional music, it nonetheless provides insightful perspective on the art form itself. As I argue, one particular duo of Appalachian musicians, the Louvin Brothers, are uniquely suited to this inquiry. I propose that themes that are found in many of the Louvin Brothers’ songs, such as love, acceptance, and rejection, create a bridge between the historically documented theoretical gap between bluegrass and country music’s sacred and secular songs. I document how the Louvins successfully navigated these traditionally separate subgenres using these common subjects while offering a commentary on musical history, their own upbringing, and religion.
