O idílio entre a tradição e a modernidade : uma releitura de Amar, verbo intransitivo, Mário de Andrade /Garcia, Luiz Fernando. January 2018 (has links)
Orientadora: Silvia Maria Azevedo / Banca: Marcos Antonio de Moraes / Banca: Altamir Botoso / Banca: Gilberto Figueiredo Martins / Banca: Fabiano Rodrigo da Silva Santos / Resumo: Partindo de pressupostos teóricos do Comparatismo como forma de investigação que se situa "entre" os objetos que analisa, e dos conceitos de releitura tão característicos da Modernidade, este trabalho propõe o estabelecimento de relações entre o romance Amar, verbo intransitivo (1927) de Mário de Andrade (1893-1945), que tem como subtítulo a designação de "Idílio" e obras de Teócrito, Gessner e B. de Saint-Pierre, pertencentes ao mesmo gênero literário, tomando como ponto de partida a questão do gênero. Este procedimento tem como objetivos verificar não somente a procedência do ceticismo da crítica literária em relação a este subtítulo, como também as razões que levaram o autor a utilizá-lo e a mantê-lo até mesmo na versão final da obra. Neste percurso, o próprio gênero literário "Idílio" também se constitui como objeto de estudo deste trabalho, pois as obras acima citadas revelam não somente um gênero literário ativo e em evolução desde a Antiguidade greco-romana até o Sec. XX, mas também um gênero que se manifesta tanto na poesia quanto na prosa, mais especificamente, no gênero romance. / Abstract: Based on postulates of comparative literature, that places itself between the objects analyzed, and new readings of traditional works, so dear to Modernity, this thesis aims at establishing relations between Mario de Andrade's (1893-1945) novel "Amar, verbo intransitivo" (1927), subtitled "Idílio", and works from Teocritus, Gessner and B. de Saint Pierre belonging to the same literary gender, at the same time that considers the questions involving this specific gender. This procedure aims at verifying not only why literary criticism has been so skeptical in relation to the subtitle "Idílio", but also the author's reasons in giving and maintaining it even in the final version of the work. In this way, also the literary gender "Idyll" becomes the object of study of the present thesis, as the works cited above reveal not only an active gender evolving from the Antiquity until the XXth century, but also a gender represented both in poetry and prose, in this case in the novel. These prerogatives determine a choice of a critical apparatus that makes possible to consider the literary gender in question as well as a theory of the novel capable of bringing together periods, authors and literary works so distinct among themselves. Bakhtin's approach to literary gender, including the "Idyll" itself, as well as Schiller's essay On Naïve and Sentimental Poetry, in view of the specific analysis of genre potential and its relevance in the construction of a modern poetic, offer the theoretical basis on which the present thesis is anchored / Doutor

As micronarrativas em Portugal : de Almada Negreiros a Ana Hatherly : a brevidade literária narrativa em Portugal no século XXRodrigues, Bruno Silva January 2015 (has links)
Literary works and other manifestations that demonstrate, disseminate or stimulate the practice of extremely brief narrative texts have increasingly been gaining ground in the 21st-century. This phenomenon, which varies in intensity depending on the country - seemingly more substantial in the American continent and more timid in European countries - has ramifications more or less on a global scale. Naturally, there has been, over the last few decades, a greater awareness of the dissemination of this type of productions, thanks to the visibility that new information technology, above all the Internet, has afforded. This tendency, however, just like any other human activity, is bound to have antecedents. To analyse its roots may help us to understand its relevance today. The research carried out here has as its object of study extremely brief narrative texts produced in Portugal. It focuses on a period of time which, it will be argued, is of utmost importance for the presence of micro-narratives in the Portuguese literary landscape: the period situated between the dawn of modernism at the beginning of the 1910s and the post-revolutionary moment when Ana Hatherly publishes the third volume of her overarching project entitled Tisanas, in 1980.

Life is in the manuscript : Virginia Woolf, historiography, and the 'mythical method'Stalla, Heidi January 2015 (has links)
Virginia Woolf's writing is aesthetically complex, politically engaged, and remains relevant today - an astonishing achievement. This thesis begins by asking how and why this is the case, and thinks through Woolf's relationship to history as a means of suggesting some answers. References to the past abound in Woolf's fiction in the form of meaningful names, stories, myths, and national histories. I am especially interested in allusions that are not immediately obvious, but still work to convey something about human nature. These were sometimes inspired by artifacts in museums, or by articles in magazines or newspapers, or literature she owned, or borrowed, or was being written by her contemporaries - sources that a careful researcher can track down. Other references are more difficult to prove; for example, they may have come from travel experiences related by friends, or personal experiences not recorded in her diary. In this case we need to balance circumstantial evidence, common sense, and an understanding of the spirit and concerns of the age. In the first chapter I highlight Woolf's early interest in the tension between fact and fiction as it is expressed in her 1906 short story, "The Journal of Mistress Joan Martyn". The chapter serves as way of demonstrating my process. I point out the interplay between form, content, and autobiography that is in her other work. In short, a good deal of what is imagined may have been inspired by personal experience and real historical material. The next three chapters reveal new character types and source material for Jacob's Room, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves - the novels in which Woolf worked out what I have called her "mythical method". I end by inviting scholars to reconsider tensions in her work such as fact and fiction, self and other, art and politics from a new angle: not only as thematic preoccupations but also as crucial to thinking of - to borrow from Gertrude Stein - composition as a form of explanation. Woolf's project in fiction was to figure out what modernism can and should do. Although it is not necessary for all readers to do the kind of research demonstrated here in order to understand the novels, having an awareness of this work is important. This new way of looking at how and why Woolf wrote both in and outside of time as part of the process of composition makes us think again about the reasons that we should care so much about "Mrs. Brown". It helps us appreciate that the project of conveying both the ephemeral and temporal qualities of human experience is what makes the study of literary modernism (and its current global, transnational forms) a dynamic, political, and expanding phenomenon today.

THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT IN URDU FICTION IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN.WENTINK, LINDA JENNIFER. January 1983 (has links)
The dominant movement in Urdu fiction today is Modernism. During the decade of the sixties Modernism replaced the preceding Progressive Movement which had been popular from the mid-thirties to the early fifties. Critics and authors alike in the fifties asserted that the Progressive Movement had become dogmatic and dictatorial. Progressive writers' stories, they said, were journalistic and written according to a politically prescribed formula. The critics felt that this had resulted in the stagnation of Urdu literature, and they called for a new literary movement. After a short-lived attempt by some writers to start an "Islamic Literature" movement, Modernism began as a reaction against the efforts of both the Progressives and the supporters of "Islamic Literature" to dictate a group-oriented "purpose literature" according to non-literary, ideological criteria. Modernism was intended to broaden the content and form of literature, particularly those aspects of it which had been ignored or actively proscribed by the previous movement. The new movement encouraged an inward turn in subject and a move away from realistic, mimetic fiction towards a greater experimentation in form. The latter included the use of a stream of consciousness technique, surrealism, fantasy, myth, symbolism, and innovations in narrative structure which in Western literary criticism would be called examples of "spatial form." The inward turn in subject resulted in both a "search for self" and a concern for the causes of a perceived "decline of values" in the modern world. The inward turn in the subject of the story dominates in the first half of the sixties; the intense experimentation with form prevails in the latter half of the decade. By the seventies, Modernism had become an established movement. The techniques introduced in the sixties were no longer experimental, but a developed and accepted repertoire which could be freely drawn upon to express a variety of subjects, including social and political as well as "existential" themes. The Modernist Movement began in the cities of Lahore and Delhi with the authors Intizar Husain, Enver Sajjad, Surendra Prakash and Balraj Mainra. It gained strength both in geographical area and in the numbers of authors described as Modernists throughout the sixties, reaching its height in the period between 1968 and 1971. After a period of relative stagnation in the early seventies, during which Modernist literature was described as having itself become formulaic, it has begun to grow again with the addition of a new generation of younger writers in the later seventies.
