Representatividade. Realidade. Modelo. Ficção. Pensamentos que preenchiam este papel-dissertação antes mesmo da escrita começar. Inspirada pelo conceito de clichê, do filósofo Gilles Deleuze, busquei entrar dentro dos clichês que ocupam a escrita, seja na academia, no jornalismo ou no jornalismo literário. Tentei convocá-los todos, mas não para apagá-los, negá-los, destruí-los. Busquei uma adesão sem resistência, para fazer uma luta com os clichês, e não contra eles. A academia, clichê da escrita que se faz modelo, o padrão a ser sempre seguido. Seria possível escrever uma dissertação que não se prendesse a esses modelos? Pass(e)ando por trabalhos que investem em outra(s) escrita(s) acadêmica(s), busco discutir possibilidades de experimentação da escrita desde dentro dos limites da academia. O jornalismo, que ao investir na possibilidade de representação completa e fiel da realidade, tornou-se o próprio clichê. Como pensar o jornalismo sem submetê-lo a um modelo de julgamento da verdade? Apresento, então, o conceito de ficção como uma possibilidade do jornalismo abrir-se para a multiplicidade e complexidade da realidade. O jornalismo literário, que viu na literatura a resposta para todos os problemas, salvação para os males do jornalismo, mas acabou reduzindo-a a listas de regras, um modelo a ser seguido, um adjetivo, um sobrenome de status do jornalismo. Como pensar (n)essa escrita que nasce do encontro entre jornalismo e literatura? Apostando que a literatura teria a potência de desterritorializar o jornalismo (literário), discuto como alguns artefatos do jornalismo têm investido em uma escrita que se efetua entre a ficção e o riso, tirando o jornalismo (literário) de seus eixos, colocando-o em uma terceira margem, onde ele começa a fabular a si e ao mundo. E por trás destas perguntas e pensamentos, uma outra pergunta não parava de pulsar: se habitamos uma civilização dos clichês, podemos nos livrar deles? Ao ver na escrita um problema de pesquisa que precisava ser experimentado e vivenciados nos (des)encontros, tentei responder esta pergunta em uma conversa com textos que investem na criação e experimentação, que não negam os clichês, mas surgem desde dentro deles, apostando em outras possibilidades de escrita / Abstract: Journalism. Literature. Academy. Representativeness. Reality. Model. Fiction. Thoughts that filled this paper-dissertation even before I started to write it. Inspired by the concept of cliché, of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze, I tried to get inside of clichés that fills the writing, whether in academia, journalism or literary journalism. I attempted to convene all of them, but not to delete them, deny them, destroy them. I looked for and adhesion without resistance, to make a fight with clichés, and not against them. The academy, cliché of the writing as a model, the standard to be always followed. It would be possible to write a dissertation that is not stuck to these models? Passing through some works/books that invest in other(s) academic writing(s), I try to discuss possibilities for writing experimentation from within the boundaries of academy. The journalism, that invest in the possibility of represent the reality completely and faithfully, and became its own cliché. How to think the journalism without submitting it to a model of judgement of the truth? I presented, then, the concept of fiction as a way to open the journalism to the multiplicity and complexity of reality. The literary journalism, that thinks literature is the solution to all its problems, the salvation for the journalism's ills, but eventually reduced the literature to a list of rules, a model to be followed, an adjective, a status surname to journalism. How to think this writing that comes from the encounter between journalism and literature? Gambling on literature would have the potency to deterritorialize (literary) journalism, I discuss how some journalism's artifacts have been investing in this writing which takes place between fiction and laugher, taking journalism out of its axis, placing it in a third margin, where it begins to fabulate itself and the world. And behind these questions and thoughts, another question did not stop to pulsate: if we inhabit a civilization of clichés, can we escape from them? Facing the writing as a research problem which needed to be experimented and experienced in the (dis)encouters, I tried to answer this question in a conversation with texts that invest in the creation and experimentation that does not deny the clichés, but arise from within them, betting on others possibilities of writing / Mestrado / Divulgação Científica e Cultural / Mestre em Divulgação Científica e Cultural

The aim of this thesis is to establish whether In Cold Blood could be considered to be the true account Truman Capote intended it to be. Capote spent many years researching the murder in Kansas with the aim of writing a news story in the style of fiction. Even so, this essay argues that it is not a completely true account. In order to reach a conclusion this essay studies the concept of new journalism and answers the following questions: •What are the problems of depicting reality in writing? •What narrative techniques are found in In Cold Blood? •Is In Cold Blood subjective or objective in its portrayal of the story and its characters? The conclusion also shows that In Cold Blood is too manipulated and subjective in order to be seen as a completely true account that can be read as a news story. It is merely one view of the murder and In Cold Blood is therefore best read as a fiction novel.

Popular navalism in nineteenth-century Britain was a natural but not inevitable outcome of the geographical reality of an island nation possessing a large maritime empire. The long-term evolution of democracy and the rapid growth of the mass-circulation press transformed the civil-military relationship in the last decades of the century, leading to a series of naval scares. These were episodes of intense public interest and engagement in naval affairs, manifested through Parliamentary speeches, newspaper and periodical contributions and in private correspondence. Naval historians have emphasized technological and strategic narratives in the modernization of the Royal Navy, and in the process neglected the dramatic political struggles in 1884–94 that provided the vital precondition for naval reform and expansion — money. The relevant question is not whether the naval scares were objectively justified, but how public discourses were employed by individuals and interest groups to transform the naval political economy by creating a ‘blue-water’ strategic common sense that would support the creation of ocean-going battlefleets designed to win and maintain ‘command of the sea.’ A triangular relationship between the Government, the navy and the public, connected largely through the press, rapidly evolved over the course of three naval scares, in 1884, 1888 and 1893. A pro-navy political equilibrium was constructed that raised peacetime naval expenditure to unprecedented heights and laid the foundations for the more widely known reforms of the twentieth-century ‘Fisher Era.’ / Graduate / 2018-08-21

This study examines the similarities in the historical development and stated values of the American literary journalism and modern storytelling movements within the framework of communication and narrative theory. In addition, the techniques and subjects of oral storytelling and literary journalism, as described in professional publications and manuals for storytellers and reporters, are compared for similarities. Storytelling and literary journalism have grown apart and come together to peak again during times of social upheaval, first at the turn of the century and again in the 1960s. In addition, the two professions are related by the common goal of celebrating individual experience, the life of the common folk, and the birth of interactive communities that offer an alternative to mass media and mass culture. Overlapping techniques include the use of simple slots, the personal "voice" of the narrator, character development through dialogue and scenes, and an emphasis on theme.

The purpose is to analyse the reportage published by Trip magazine, which is an example of this journalistic genre, as well as to explore linguistic and speech procedures. Firstly, the work tries to review shortly, based on specialised bibliography, the linguistics development until the Speech Analysis School. The aim is to offer a brief but necessary base of theory to the reader. The essay presents the concepts and a historic trajectory of the three following speech genre of journalism: Literary Journalism, New Journalism and Gonzo Journalism. The corpus will be analised from the perspectives of genre and textual elements that are typical of Gonzo Journalism. It means to observe thematic and structural components. Hence, the chosen theories are the speech analysis of French School and the genre study proposed by the Russian critic Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975). The study's main concern is to study the genre concept in order to categorize the journalistic corpus. The research is focused on Gonzo Journalism, since it analyses two selected news reporting published in 2005 and 2006. However, it was necessary to present the other journalistic genres with the aim of verify their fluid character, contributions and influences. Besides, the work deals with the types of support and the development of the adopted magazine, regarding the international context. Created in 1986, Trip is recognized, in Brazil, due to the space dedicated to Gonzo reportage. It is considered alternative, contemporary and it became an editorial phenomenon between young and influent people. The magazine has today 187 thousand readers. Despite the vast critic works produced in the last years about speech analysis, this thesis supports that this reportage style is undervalued by the academia. Therefore, the major bulk is to contribute to Gonzo Journalism studies, as soon as to reveal its importance, originality and specificity. / A presente dissertação propõe uma reflexão sobre o Jornalismo Gonzo no Brasil. O propósito é analisar reportagens publicadas na revista Trip, representativas desse gênero jornalístico, e explorar procedimentos lingüísticos e discursivos. O trabalho se inicia com um balanço da recepção crítica, que parte do desenvolvimento da lingüística até chegar à análise do discurso. A intenção é oferecer ao leitor uma breve, porém necessária, base teórica. Optou-se por apresentar os conceitos e o percurso histórico de três gêneros do discurso jornalístico: o Jornalismo Literário, o New Journalism e o Jornalismo Gonzo. O corpus será analisado sob as perspectivas de gênero e dos elementos constitutivos do texto do Jornalismo Gonzo. Tal processo implica observar elementos temáticos e estruturais. Dentre os principais referenciais teóricos estão a análise do discurso de linha francesa e o estudo de gêneros proposto pelo pensador russo Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975). O conceito de gênero norteia o trabalho e serve de base para a caracterização do corpus jornalístico. Apesar de a pesquisa se deter no Jornalismo Gonzo, por meio da interpretação de duas reportagens publicadas em 2005 e 2006, fez-se necessária a apresentação dos outros dois gêneros, a fim de verificar seu caráter fluido, suas contribuições e apropriações. A pesquisa busca abordar, ainda, a questão do suporte e o processo de desenvolvimento da revista selecionada, sem perder de vista o panorama internacional. Lançada em 1986, a Trip notabilizou-se, no Brasil, por dedicar espaço à reportagem gonzo. Considerada alternativa e contemporânea, tornou-se um fenômeno editorial importante entre o público jovem formador de opinião. Tem atualmente 187 mil leitores. Apesar da vasta fortuna crítica que se formou, nos últimos anos, sobre a análise do discurso, a dissertação parte do pressuposto de que esse estilo de reportagem ainda é considerado um gênero menor pela academia. Nesse sentido, o objetivo final é contribuir para os estudos do Jornalismo Gonzo no Brasil, bem como desvelar sua importância, originalidade e especificidade.

This journalistic culture is also rich of myths and social representations that try to legitimate the role played by the journalist into society. These myths very often cover their professional reality. Born in the papers, the modern comics have a tradition in represent journalists as comic characters. This representation, especially in superheroes, adventure and similar comics, has served to strenght the professional image passed by the myths. But, through time, as comics have narrative and themathically matured themselves, this representation has been problematized, unmasking the ideology behind the myths. This research tries to show this phenomenon through a study of case about a comic book called Transmetropolitan. This comic shows the adventures of a journalist called Spider Jerusalem, who lives at a chaotic metropolis in search of his stories. Our work was divided in two parts. The first one is a bibliographical review about themes that this study is based upon. In the second, it was made a content analysis of three editions of Transmetropolitan, and the data was used to guide our critical review of the comic. We argue that this comic book brings a contracultural vision about contemporary society and the role of the journalist, supported by the cyberpunk narrative and the style of report used by New Journalism to problematize this myths. / Os jornalistas, como comunidade interpretativa, ou tribo, se definem por meio de traços sociais e pelo domínio de saberes práticos que permitem a reivindicação de um campo profissional específico. Esta cultura jornalística também é rica em mitos e representações sociais que buscam legitimar o papel desempenhado pelo jornalista na sociedade, mitos estes que muitas vezes mascaram a realidade profissional. Nascidos dos jornais, os quadrinhos modernos têm tradição na representação de jornalistas como personagens. Esta representação, especialmente nos quadrinhos de super-heróis, de aventura e gêneros correlatos, serviu por muito tempo para reforçar a imagem profissional contida no mito. Porém, à medida que esses quadrinhos amadureceram narrativa e tematicamente, essa representação passou a ser problematizada, expondo a ideologia por trás desses mitos. Esta pesquisa busca mostrar esse fenômeno por meio de um estudo de caso sobre a série em quadrinhos Transmetropolitan. Este quadrinho de ficção científica narra as aventuras do jornalista Spider Jerusalem por uma metrópole urbana caótica na busca de suas pautas. O estudo se dividiu metodologicamente em duas partes. Na primeira, uma pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória sobre os temas que embasam o estudo. Na segunda, uma análise de conteúdo das três primeiras edições de Transmetropolitan, para em seguida realizarmos a leitura crítica do material a partir dos dados coletados. Defendemos que esses quadrinhos se apóiam numa visão contracultural em relação à sociedade contemporânea e ao papel do jornalista nela, ao recorrer à narrativa cyberpunk e um estilo de reportagem defendido pelo Novo Jornalismo para problematizar esses mitos.

abstract: During the 1960s, American youth were coming of age in a post–war period marked by an unprecedented availability of both money and leisure time. These conditions afforded young people new opportunities for exploring fresh ways of thinking and living, beyond the traditional norms of their parents' generation. Tom Wolfe recognized that a revolution was taking place, in terms of manners and morals, spearheaded by this latest generation. He built a career for himself reporting on the diverse groups that were developing on the periphery of the mainstream society and the various ways they were creating social spaces, what he termed “statuspheres,” for themselves, in which to live by their own terms. Using the techniques of the New Journalism—“immersion” reporting that incorporated literary devices traditionally reserved for writers of fiction—Wolfe crafted creative non–fiction pieces that attempted not only to offer a glimpse into the lives of these fringe groups, but also to place the reader within their subjective experiences. This thesis positions Wolfe as a sort of liminal trickster figure, who is able to bridge the gap between disparate worlds, both physical and figurative. Analyzing several of Wolfe's works from the time period, it works to demonstrate the almost magical way in which Wolfe infiltrates various radical, counterculture and otherwise “fringe” groups, while borrowing freely from elements across lines of literary genre, in order to make his subjects' experiences come alive on the page. This work attempts to shed light on his special ability to occupy multiple spaces and perspectives simultaneously, to offer the reader a multidimensional look into the lives of cultural outsiders and the impact that they had and continue to have on the overarching discussion of the American Experience. Ultimately, this paper argues that by exposing these various outlying facets of American culture to the mainstream readership, Wolfe acts as a catalyst to reincorporate these fringe elements within the larger conversation of what it means to be American, thereby spurring a greater cultural awareness and an expansion of the collective American consciousness. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. English 2014

Tom Wolfe was a founding father of New Journalism, revolutionizing journalistic reporting by introducing literary tools of storytelling. The literary influence on New Journalism is well-covered by journalism scholars, but Wolfe was also a fiction writer, and as such he actively tried to rally his generation of fiction writers behind him for a New Social Novel, more grounded in reality and reporting. His post-postmodern novels also amalgamate journalism and literature, but how and to what extent journalism influenced his fiction writing is a story yet untold.  Wolfe provided a normative blueprint for how to achieve verisimilitude in fiction, in his literary manifesto: “Stalking the Billion-Footed Beast”. At about the same time, he started writing the novel A Man in Full. Using A Man in Full as an application of his ideas of the ideal novel, this thesis investigates how Wolfe constructed the reality effect in his fiction and foregrounds the origins of Tom Wolfe’s literary voice, focusing on onomatopoetic language, statuspheric minutiae, expressive punctuation, and Wolfe’s characteristic wake-the-dead prose style. I argue that Wolfe did reinvent verisimilitude in literary realism, but not in the way that he intended, through reporting and status details, but rather through language.

The thesis aims to explore the artistic personality of Hunter S. Thompson, one of the most distinctive cultural figures of post-war America, and his genesis as an author, journalist, and a counterculture idol of the 1960s. The era is now widely regarded as a turning point in contemporary American history as its deep-rooted values and norms were, over the course of a decade, gradually transformed by the young generation of social and political activists toward allegedly a more tolerant and liberal kind of community. Crucial in such an endeavor was the role of the countercultural movement that produced some of the most capable intellectual minds of the time, including Thompson. The paper thus analyzes the role and nature of the alternative culture in America as perceived by one of its most observant participants. Also, the thesis focuses on the author's role in establishing a new genre called New Journalism which can be linked with the era's countercultural efforts as well. In general, Thompson, in his texts, examines various phenomena surrounding the counterculture and provides us with a distinctive portrayal of the era's zeitgeist. However, unlike some of his contemporaries, he also remembers to examine numerous flaws and fallacies existing within contemporary American society, the American Dream...
