I denna uppsats analyseras Markus Suzaks Jokern och Jeanette Wintersons Fyrväktaren utifrån Northrop Fryes arketypanalys. Inledningsvis görs separata analyser av de båda verken som sedan får ligga till grund för att jämföra de återkommande dragen som kunnat identifieras i de skilda texterna. Syftet är att utreda metodens användbarhet som analysverktyg med målet att avgöra om den kan användas för att främja textnära tolkningar och elevers litterära kompetens i litteraturundervisningen i gymnasieskolan. Resultatet visar att metoden kan användas för att göra textnära litteraturanalyser. Man kan även observera att karaktärer som i berättandet fyller liknande funktioner återkommer i båda verken trots att de skiljer sig åt både till form och innehåll. Analysen visar dock att denna form av arketypanalys inte kan betraktas som en komplett metod dåden inte berör alla aspekter av texten, vilket tyder på att metoden med fördel kan kompletteras med andra litteraturvetenskapliga metoder.

Divided into two parts, this study includes first, an approach around the literary criticism, which has been focusing on the relationship between the biblical text and the universe of literary studies. Of the number of experts who have devoted their lives to studying it, we have selected two important names of the literary criticism international in the 20th century, that have stood on this interaction in perspective that we can say of complementary and rhizomatic as the postulates of epistemology proposed by Gilles Deleuz and Félix Guattari. They are the Canadian Northrop Frye and the American Harold Bloom. Of both, the latter is the one that more intensely established the dialog between the Jewish-Christian book and the Literature. From the intriguing conclusions of these theorists, we opened for a second time that establishes the relationship between the thoughts of these experts, with emphasis in Bloom, and the lusophone fiction of three Romanesque clippings: A mulher que escreveu a Bíblia, by Moacyr Scliar; Caim, by José Saramago and Grande sertão: veredas, by João Guimarães Rosa. These works are analyzed in inter-textual dialogs with other literary representations national and international, that include the relationship between the Bible and the Literature in an approach of hypertextuality of conceptualization by Gerard Genette, that in turn converses with considerations of Linda Hutcheon alluding to studies on the parody. As a methodology, we are employing the bibliographic research relating to the object of research relevant to the thesis. As a result of our research, we conclude that there is a plentiful cartography, that this work is an example, which contradict the existence of biblical-literary rhizome, which leads to the proposition that the Bible, one of the most important artistic codes of Western culture, it is a work that can be seen as a literary piece as advocates Harold Bloom, without prejudice of the rhizome that links it to the religiosity, working as one of the most intrigu ing hypo-texts of Western Literature, which can also be researched on a level of high erudition in his hypertextuality. / A presente tese objetiva apresentar, numa perspectiva epist emológica e ficcional, a relação entre a Bíblia e a Literatura. Dividido em duas partes, este estudo contempla primeiramente uma abordagem em torno da crítica literária que tem se debruçado sobr e a relação entre o texto biblista e o universo dos estudos literários. Do conjunto de estudiosos que se dedicaram a estudá-la, pinçamos dois importantes nomes da crítica literária internacional no século XX que se detiveram sobre esta interação em perspectiva que se pode dizer complementar e rizomática, conforme os postulados da epistemologia proposta por Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari. São eles o canadense Northrop Frye e o norte-americano Harold Bloom. De ambos, Harold Bloom é o que mais intensamente estabeleceu o diálogo entre o livro judaico -cristão e a Literatura. A partir das instigantes ilações destes teóricos, abrimo s para um segundo momento que estabelece a relação entre o pensamento desses estudiosos, com ênfase em Bloom, e a ficcionalidade lusófona de três recortes romanescos: A mulher que escreveu a Bíblia, de Moacyr Scliar; Caim, de José Saramago e Grande sertão: veredas, de João Guimarães Rosa. Estas obras são analisadas em diálogos intertextuais com outras representações literárias nac ionais e internacionais que contemplam a relação entre a Bíblia e a Literatura numa abordagem de hipertextualidade da conceituação de Gérard Genette, que por sua vez dialoga com as considerações de Linda Hutcheon alusivas aos estudos sobre a paródia. Como metodologia, servimo -nos da pesquisa bibliográfica relativa ao objeto de pesquisa pertinente à tese. Como resultado de nossa pesquisa, chegamos à conclusão de que há uma farta cartografia, de que este trabalho constitui um exemplo, que referenda a existência do rizoma bíblico-literário, o que conduz à proposição de que a Bíblia, um dos mais importantes códigos artísticos da cultura Ocidental, é uma obra que pode ser vista como uma peça literária, como advoga Harold Bloom, sem prejuízo algum do rizoma que a vincula à religiosidade, funcionando como um dos mais instigantes hipotextos da Literatura no Ocidente, passível de ser também pesquisado em um nível de alta erudição em sua hipertextualidade.

The hypothesis is that the film uses narrative patterns whose matrix is biblical to organize his narrative. The first chapter deals with the film and the work of the director. In the second chap-ter, the first step is to define what archetype means in literature, with authors who have worked with the concept. Then our main theory is presented in the work of the Canadian critic Northrop Frye. The third chapter, finally, is an analysis of the film from three different approaches: gender, in which we discuss the tragedy in Anti-christ; mode, in which the narrative of the film is perceived in the tension between the realistic and mythic narratives; and images, in which patterns of imagery stand out from the film in relation to vertical poetic, to the woman and the erotic relation-ship and to the nature and the garden / Este trabalho é uma análise do filme Anticristo, de Lars von Trier, a partir da crítica arquetípica proposta por Northrop Frye. A hipótese é a de que o filme recorre a pa-drões narrativos cuja matriz é bíblica para organizar sua narrativa. O primeiro capítulo aborda o filme e a obra do diretor. No segundo capítulo, a primei-ra etapa consiste em definir o que arquétipo significa em literatura, apresentando os autores que trabalharam com o conceito. Em seguida, é apresentada nossa teoria principal na obra do crítico canadense Northrop Frye. O terceiro capítulo, por fim, é uma leitura do filme a partir de três eixos: gênero, no qual se discute a tragédia no Anticristo; modo, no qual a narrativa do filme é percebida em sua tensão entre as nar-rativas realista e mítica; e imagens, no qual se destacam padrões imagéticos do filme em relação à poética vertical, à mulher e a relação erótica e à natureza e o jardim

Inducement prizes-where cash rewards are given to motivate the attainment of targets--have been long used to encourage scientific research, develop technological innovations, or stimulate individuals, groups, and communities to accomplish diverse goals. Lately, prizes have increasingly attracted the attention of policy-makers, among others, due to their potential to induce path-breaking innovations and accomplish related goals. Academic research, however, has barely investigated these prizes in spite of their long history, recent popularity, and notable potential. This research investigates prizes and the means by which they induce innovation. It uses an empirical, multiple case-study methodology, a new model of innovation applied to prizes, and multiple data sources to investigate three cases of recent aerospace technology prizes: a main case study, the Google Lunar X Prize (GLXP) for robotic Moon exploration; and two pilot cases, the Ansari X Prize (AXP) for the first private reusable manned spacecraft and the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge (NGLLC) for flights of reusable rocket-powered vehicles. The investigation unveils the dynamics of prizes and contributes a better understanding of their potential and disadvantages in a context in which more traditional mechanisms are used to induce innovation. This research shows that prizes are a more complex mechanism and their investigation requires analyzing entrant- and context-level factors generally not considered by the literature. Prizes complement and not replace patents and other incentive mechanisms. The incentives offered by prizes attract entrants with diverse characteristics, including unconventional entrants--individuals and organizations generally not involved with the prize technologies. Entrants are generally attracted by the non-monetary benefits of participation and the potential market value of the technologies involved in competitions. Many more volunteers, collaborators, and partners also participate indirectly and support official entries as they also perceive opportunities to accomplish their personal and organizational goals. The monetary reward is important to position the competition in the media and disseminate the idea of the prize. Prizes can induce increasing R&D activities and re-direct industry projects to target diverse technological goals, yet the evolution of prize competitions and quality of the technological outputs is generally difficult to anticipate. The overall organization of prize R&D activities and their outputs depend on entrant-level factors and can only be indirectly influenced by setting specific competition rules. The most remarkable characteristic of prize R&D activities is their interaction with fundraising efforts which, in some circumstances, may constrain the activities of entrants. Prizes can also induce innovation over and above what would have occurred anyway, yet their overall effect depends significantly on the characteristics of the prize entrants and the evolution of the context of the competition. The ability of prizes to induce innovation is larger when there are larger prize incentives, more significant technology gaps implicit in the prize challenge, and open-ended challenge definitions. To successfully induce technological breakthroughs, prizes may require complementary incentives (e.g. commitments to purchase technology) or support (e.g. seed funding.) Prizes are particularly appropriate to, for example, explore new, experimental methods and technologies that imply high-risk R&D; induce technological development to break critical technological barriers; accelerate technological development to achieve higher performance standards; and, accelerate diffusion, adoption, and/or commercialization of technologies. They involve, however, higher programmatic risks than other more traditional mechanisms and their routine use, and/or challenge definitions that overlap, can weaken the incentive power of the mechanism. Successful implementation of competitions requires many parameters to be properly set.

Cette thèse explique le développement de la théorie critique des mythes (myth criticism) de Northrop Frye et veut démontrer que l'examen critique des mythes est un paradigme approprié pour analyser le développement des conventions littéraires anglaises et la communication d'archétypes dans des œuvres littéraires postmodernes. En examinant, à la lumière d'archétypes bibliques, de rites religieux provenant d'Afrique de l'ouest, de folklore amérindien et du mythe monomythique de la perte d'identité, trois romans afro-américains et amérindiens, je suggère que la théorie de Frye est applicable aux œuvres postmodernes amérindiennes et afro-américaines autant qu'elle l'est aux œuvres du canon traditionnel. Cette étude retrace les origines de la théorie de Frye et met en lumière la présence d'archétypes et de structures bibliques dans la fiction afro-américaine et amérindienne ainsi que la communication d'archétypes africains continentaux à la culture afro-américaine par un mélange d'ancienne religion africaine et d'archétypes bibliques. Ainsi, puisqu'il s'agit d'une application de la théorie de Frye, cette thèse enrichira notre compréhension du développement des conventions littéraires et de la portée de cette théorie, et permettra une remise en question de notre conception de la littérature afro-américaine et amérindienne.

This dissertation is the application of counterfactual criticism to Shakespearean tragedy—supposing we are to ask, for example, “what if” Hamlet had done the deed, or, “what if” we could somehow disinherit our knowledge of Lear’s madness before reading King Lear. Such readings, mirroring critical practices in history, will loosely be called “counterfactual” readings. The key question to ask is not why tragedies are no longer being written (by writers), but why tragedies are no longer being felt (by readers). Tragedy entails a certain urgency in wanting to imagine an outcome different from the one we are given. Since we cannot change events as they stand, we feel a critical helplessness in dealing with feelings of tragic loss; the critical imperative that follows usually accounts for how the tragedy unfolded. Fleshing out a cause is one way to deal with the trauma of tragedy. But such explanation, in a sense, merely explains tragedy away. The fact that everything turns out so poorly in tragedy suggests that the tragic protagonist was somehow doomed, that he (in the case of Shakespearean tragedy) was the victim of some “tragic flaw,” as though tragedy and necessity go hand in hand. Only by allowing ourselves to imagine other possibilities can we regain the tragic effect, which is to remind ourselves that other outcomes are indeed possible. Tragedy, then, is more readily understood, or felt, as the playing out of contingency. It takes some effort to convince others, even ourselves, that the tragic effect resonates best when accompanied by an understanding that the characters on the page are free individuals. No amount of foreknowledge, on our part or theirs, can save us (or them) from tragedy’s horror.
