The subject of the thesis is to analyse the image of the Merovingian ruler in hagiographical sources concentrating on the period from the accession of Chlotar II. to the Frankish thrones in 613 until the fall of the dynasty in 751. While based on the texts, its task is to evaluate the nature of the Merovingian power, which underwent a process of Christianization by Church after baptism of Clovis I. The analysis reveals to what extent the inherited patristic ideas about political power were applied, and at the same time it comments on the issue of pagan and Christian sacrality. The study also deals with the relationship between royal power and ecclesiastical institutions in terms of administrative and spiritual, while referring to its important role in the change of dynasties. Key words: image of the ruler, hagiographical texts, Merovingians, pagan sacrality, Christian sacrality, cult of saints

O surgimento em 1970 da sua primeira obra em prosa é um momento importante de construção do seu projeto literário onde os limites entre vida e obra começam a ser cada vez mais estreitados. A pesquisa desta dissertação quer contribuir para a compreensão deste contexto a partir de uma leitura do conto Kadosh, publicado no ano de 1973, na obra de mesmo nome, tendo como foco a questão do sagrado. A metodologia utilizada partiu da leitura desta obra e do conjunto da produção de Hilda Hilst, para em seguida investigar no arquivo, em fotos, cartas, anotações e originais, os rastros da emergência desta problemática na obra da autora. O destaque particular foi dado para o período entre o final dos anos de 1960 e começo dos anos de 1970, relacionados ao contexto específico de produção de Kadosh. O resultado da pesquisa são os quatro ensaios, independentes, mas interconectados que se apresenta neste trabalho: o primeiro abordando como a questão do sagrado emerge enquanto um problema literário para Hilda Hilst, através da análise de algumas correspondências que tratam do ofício da literatura, apontando indiretamente como se configura para a autora uma imagem privada de si, nos anos de 1950 e 1960; o segundo enasio parte de excertos de textos e de originais para mostrar como se configura a problemática do sagrado na sua obra literária até a publicação da coletânea de Kadosh, apontando ao final, através da análise de alguns excertos críticos, como se forma uma imagem pública da autora, à época da publicação do conto, nos anos de 1973-74; o terceiro parte do campo de significações relacionados à religiosidade que estão presentes nos rastros do arquivo, para produzir uma interpretação de Kadosh, do ponto de vista do seu universo referencial e o último ensaio tece considerações sobre a forma como se caracteriza a escritura da autora no texto e que gera contradições com relação ao conjunto de representações religiosas do conto, constituindo-se deste modo a sua aproximação particular ao sagrado. Como subproduto da pesquisa produziu-se ao final uma edição comentada de Kadosh que aponta parte das referências feitas na obra. A conclusão desta pesquisa indica como, no trabalho com o arquivo, a relação vida e obra se constitui como um amálgama indissociável que determina o percurso da interpretação, sendo um lugar de contradição e um desafio para a crítica. / Abstract: Hilda Hilst (1930-2004) published some books of poetry in the 1950's and 1960's and wrote some drama from 1967 to 1970. The appearance of her first book in prose, in 1970, is an important moment in the building of her literary project, when the limits between her personal life and her literary work get closer. The research os this dissertation intends to contribute to the understanding of this context, with an interpretation of the short story Kadosh, published in 1973, in the book with the same name, with a focus in the question of sacrality. The methodology began with the reading of this story and all the published books of Hilda Hilst, after this it was done a research in the archives, working with photos, letters, booknotes and the originals, looking for the signs of the appearance of this question in the work of the writer. The main attention was directed to the period between the end of the 1960's and the begining of the 1970's, more related to the context of Kadosh. The results of all this research are the four related essays, which are presented here: the first one analyses the appearance of the sacrality as a literary question for Hilda Hilst, working with some letters, which have as theme the problem of the writer's work, showing up Hilst's image of her own, in the 1950's and 1960's; the second essay choose some excerpts of Hilst's published books, of her originals and of some articles published in the print about Kadosh, showing up Hilst's public image, in 1973-74; the third one began with an analysis of the religious references, which can be seen in the signs of the archive to produce an interpretation of Kadosh; by the end, the last one is an analisys of the writing of the author in the short story, which produces a contradiction with the religious representations of Kadosh and constitutes the special approach of Hilst to sacrality. As another result of this research, it was organized a commented edition of the short story Kadosh, which indicates part of the references alluded by the text. The conclusion of this work show up how in the work with the archives, the relation between life and literary work as one whole directs the way of interpretation and build a place of contradictions, which plays a role in making the criticism a challenge. / Mestrado / Literatura Brasileira / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária

A la charnière du XIXe et du XXe siècle, l’Espagne vit une révolution cultuelle et culturelle sans précédent. La question du sacré permet de cristalliser les enjeux de cette crise. Une approche résolument transversale révèle en effet le sacré comme clef de voûte des troubles qui agitent les Espagnols. La remise en cause continue de la place de l’Église dans la société, alimentée par l’affrontement sous-jacent entre cléricaux et anticléricaux, est fondamentale dans la douloureuse quête idiosyncratique qui ébranle la nation. Les artistes, témoins et acteurs de leur époque, se font l’écho de cette tension politique et sociale. Dans un premier temps, l’analyse du motif du sacré, livré par des romans et des tableaux, met en évidence non seulement la manifestation d’une sécularisation en marche, mais également la prégnance d’une culture religieuse durablement fixée. Dans un second temps, la polymorphie intrinsèque de ce sacré pré-moderne est abordée par une typologie qui en précise l’expression, de la plus manifeste à la moins tangible, cette dilution du sacré étant caractéristique de la Modernité. Enfin, au-delà de l’étude du motif iconographique et romanesque, une analyse du processus du sacré met en lumière combien les artistes de cette période sondent et interrogent la sacralité présente dans leurs œuvres, et combien celle-ci, ondoyante et industrieuse, échappe à leur contrôle, creusant les prémices d’une religion de l’art. / During the transitional period between the 19th and the 20th century, Spain experienced an unprecedented revolution, both religious and cultural. The issue of the sacred enabled to crystallize what is at stake during this crisis. A thoroughly cross-conceptual approach shows the sacred as a keystone for the mayhem that Spanish people underwent. The role of the church in Spanish society kept being questioned, due to the underlying conflict between those who supported the church and the others who were opposed to it. This questioning was fundamental in the difficult idiosyncratic quest which shook the nation. Artists, who were both witnesses and actors of their time, unveiled and showed this political and social tension. Firstly, the analysis of the pattern of the sacred through novels and paintings underlines the evidence of the secularization that took place. Likewise, it discloses the pregnancy of a religious culture established on a permanent basis in Spanish society. Secondly, the intrinsic polymorphous aspect of this pre-modern sacred is revealed by a typology which develops the representation of the sacred, from the most obvious to the least tangible one. This dilution of the sacred is characteristic of Modernity. Finally, beyond the study of the iconographic and novelistic pattern, an analysis of the process of the sacred enhances how the artists of this era took soundings and questioned sacrality in their works of art. It also shows how sacrality, constantly changing, could not be mastered by the artists, digging the roots of a cult for art.
