Orientador: Francisco Cláudio Alves Marques / Banca: Luciana Brito / Banca: Gabriela Kvacek Bettella / Resumo: No cenário contemporâneo, marcado pela mobilidade, as relações entre literatura e audiovisual ocupam grande importância no ideário da sociedade como destaca Ivete Walty (2011). Podemos afirmar que esse vínculo entre o audiovisual e o literário se notabiliza por um laço profícuo, que, recentemente, adentrou o meio acadêmico sob novas perspectivas por eliminar o arraigado binarismo constitutivo das hierarquizações empregadas para se referir a esse processo. Destaca-se, nesse contexto, a produção de Dias Gomes. Dramaturgo responsável pela adoção de uma linguagem mais cotidiana na teledramaturgia nacional, adotava a concepção de que sua arte deveria manter um diálogo crítico com a realidade. Assim, nesse cenário tratado por Walty (2011) como a era da mobilidade, intentamos, a partir do fenômeno da adaptação, apontar como ocorreu a transposição da personagem protagonista da peça teatral O Berço do Herói (1965) para a telenovela Roque Santeiro (1985). Nosso estudo centra-se na transposição da personagem e objetiva apontar as conjunções e disjunções ocorridas nesse processo. Para tanto, vale-se da Literatura Comparada como arcabouço metodológico devido seu aspecto inter e transdisciplinar, que concebe a relação entre literatura e outras expressões como uma forma legítima de expressão cultural / Abstract: In the contemporary scenario, marked by mobility, the relations between literature and audiovisual have got great importance in the ideals of society as highlighted by Ivete Walty (2011). We can say that this link between the audiovisual and the literary is notable for a successful bond that has recently entered the academic world under new perspectives by eliminating the entrenched binarism as part of hierarchies employed to refer to this process. In this context, the production of Dias Gomes stands out. The playwright responsible for adopting a more everyday language in national television drama adopted the conception that his art should maintain a critic dialogue with reality. Thus, in this scenario treated by Walty (2011) as the era of mobility, we intend, from the phenomenon of adaptation, to point out how the protagonist character of the play O Berço do Herói (1965) transposed to the soap opera Roque Santeiro (1985). ). Our essay focuses on character transposition and aims to point out the conjunctions and disjunctions that occurred in this process. To this end, it makes use of Comparative Literature as a methodological framework due to its inter and transdisciplinary aspect, which conceives the relations between literature and other expressions as a legitimate form of cultural expression / Mestre

As an alternative to print media, digital media make us newly aware of the materiality of experimental poetic texts and require us to account for their media-specific differences. Although already several theoretical models have been put forward to define these differences, so far few poems have been analyzed in terms of their media-specific textual materiality. This thesis seeks to fill this gap in the applied media-specific analysis of experimental poetry. It combines traditional close reading with a media-specific approach in order to investigate the relationship between the physical characteristics and signifying strategies of four experimental poetic texts in various digital and non-digital media. It critically interrogates the specific use of the given medium in each poem, and illustrates that their respective textual materiality cannot be specified in advance based on general assumptions concerning the medium in question. A digital poem is not inherently more innovative than a non-digital poem. Rather, a poem is perceived as innovative if it resists conventional reading strategies by establishing a particularly complex, dynamic, and effectively anomalous sense of textual materiality, which necessarily only emerges from the direct interplay among text, object, and reader.

CAPES / A investigação das relações entre tecnologia e cultura viabiliza discussões e reflexões profundas sobre a sociedade e os modos de vida. Esta dissertação busca, por meio da literatura infanto-juvenil, avançar no debate de tecnologia e cultura, bem como questionar o papel historicamente assumido pelo gênero. Por meio de obras da literatura infantojuvenil brasileira produzidas entre os anos de 1999 e 2010, busca-se levantar possíveis formas de representação da tecnologia na produção contemporânea e defender sua importância como produção literária. Apresentar a literatura infantojuvenil como plano de fundo para discussões acadêmicas, independentemente do recorte proposto, pode ser um trabalho bastante árduo, especialmente pela pouca valorização que o gênero encontra frente à crítica literária. O diálogo entre tecnologia e cultura, por sua vez, também ainda é pouco divulgado inclusive no campo interdisciplinar de Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade. A linha principal linha teórica que permeia o trabalho é o Materialismo Cultural, proposto por Raymond Williams. / The research about technology and culture makes possible discussions and reflections about society and ways of life. This dissertation intents, through children's literature, to advance the discussion of technology and culture as well as to question the role historically assumed by gender. Through works of Brazilian teenager literature produced between the years 1999 and 2010, we intend to raise possible ways of manifestation of technology in contemporary production and to defend its value as a literary production. Propose the teenager literature as background for academic discussions can be rather arduous, especially because the low value granted to the gender by literary criticism. The dialogue between technology and culture, in turn, is still too little known even in the interdisciplinary field of Science, Technology and Society. As our theoretical basis we resorted to the Cultural Materialism, presented by Raymond Williams.

Die vorliegende Dissertation deduziert eine bisher unbeachtete ‚alternate‘ Praxis modernen Schreibens aus der Analyse dreier experimenteller Stadtromane, die weder bei zeitgenössischen Kommentatoren, noch im bisherigen Forschungsdiskurs zum 'amerikanischen Modernismus' Beachtung gefunden hat. Diese Praxis wird exemplarisch in Waldo Franks City Block (1922), Nathan Aschs The Office (1925) und Mary Bordens Flamingo or the American Tower (1927) herausgearbeitet. Die Arbeit argumentiert, dass diese diachrone Missachtung/Nichtbeachtung darin begründet liegt, dass die Romane von ihren AutorInnen unabhängig voneinander, doch nahezu zeitgleich als Prosatexte konzipiert wurden, die eine Gegenläufigkeit zu dem normativen Akzelerationsdiskurs erkennen lassen, welcher sich in verschiedensten Domänen amerikanischen Lebens und Handelns während der ersten Beschleunigungswelle (ca. 1880-1929) herausgebildet hatte. In diesen Romanen finden sich einzigartige, doch vergleichbare stilistische Mechanismen sowie thematische/ideologische Ausrichtungen, die eine generative Agenda (‚generative agenda‘) erkennen lassen: ‚Schnelle‘ textuelle Stile werden appropriiert und/oder mit ‚langsamen‘ Stilen kombiniert (‚aesthetic of in-betweenness‘), um Lesern für die negativen Folgen von Beschleunigung zu sensibilisieren; das Phänomen an sich wird in nuancierter, handlungsorientierter Form neu verhandelt und mögliche Bewältigungsstrategien entwickelt; stilistische, formale und inhaltliche Mechanismen werden angewendet, um eine entsprechende Aktivierung des Lesers herbeizuführen.

The aim of this study is to reveal how LBD adheres to postmodern tenets while also being ultimately suspicious of these principles. This suspicion of postmodern principles is reflected in the interaction between the main subject of the videos, Lizzie Bennet, and the audience. This examination invokes the questions of when, where, and how the audience experiences LBD. This illuminates the manner in which LBD functions as a postmodern literary text and how this text is critical of its digital composition. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
