This diploma thesis deals with mestizaje and illegitimacy matters within Chile and Latin America. In consequence, it is focusing on reflexion of these phenomenons in literature, principally in essays. In the introduction to the thesis, I describe unique and peculiar features of Chilean identity and there also appears a definition of the chilenidad conception. The main attention is concentrated on el huacho figure as it symbolizes Chilean illegitimacy and mestizaje. The main aim of this thesis was to find out similar and dissimilar attributes between the huacho and Chilean society. In addition, patrial aim was to decide whether the huacho belongs either to location or to community. Final part is dedicated to comparison of huacho and pachuco figures and, it also confronts Chilean essays with Octavio Paz essay works. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

O objetivo foi analisar a partir das categorias identidade, sexualidade, ideal de beleza e envelhecimento, a representação do corpo feminino na contística da autora baiana. Para entender as relações e significados estabelecidos pelos elementos discursivos que fizeram parte da pesquisa, foi privilegiada uma abordagem interpretativa dos contos. Os pressupostos teóricometodológicos da Sociologia do corpo e da Crítica Feminista forneceram a base para o contexto histórico-social em que a corporeidade atua como elemento analisador dos mecanismos de controle sociais presentes no discurso da família, da religião, da educação e da mídia. As formações discursivas serviram para verificar como o discurso de culto ao corpo e a cultura da eterna juventude está emaranhada no discurso das personagens dos contos. Percebe-se que os sentidos do corpo feminino desestabilizam a representação corporal hegemônica para repensar a política do corpo em favor dos anseios da mulher moderna. This research is about the female body´s meanings in the Sonia Coutinho´s tales. The goal has been to investigate from the being female, the sexual behaviour, the ideal of beauty, and the getting older; the role of the female body in the baiana authoress´s way of taling. To understand the relations and meanings set up by the speech components which took part of the research, an interpretative approach of the tales has been pointed out. The presupposed points of theory and methodology of Sociology of body and of Female criticism have provided the basis to the social context in which the questions of body act like an analysing component of the means of control that occurs in the familiar, religious, educational speech besides midia one´s. Such ways of speech have been useful to verify like the speech of veneration to body and the idea of eternal youth take part of the speech of the characters of tales. We can see that the senses of the female body have unbalanced the predominant representation of the body to rebuild the policy of body in benefit of wishes of the modern woman. / Salvador

The purpose of this essay is to examine how a critical view of contemporary France is transmitted in the best-selling novel in three parts, Vernon Subutex by Virginie Despentes. The theoretical base will be the notion ”littérature engagée”, made famous by Jean-Paul Sartre in the 1940s, but re-interpreted in several steps since then. Although Sartre’s definition of ”engagement” is considered outdated and too dogmatic, many researchers argue that there are reasons to redefine the meaning of ”engagement littéraire” to analyse contemporary fiction writing with an interest in human and social issues. This study will examine how the notion ”engagement” can be applied on Vernon Subutex as regards the description of characters and the depiction of a neoliberal society, and its effects on human beings.

Ce mémoire est globalement axé sur la légitimité de la notion d'identité dans les contextes postcolonial et postmoderne. Plus précisément, il porte sur le concept de métissage dans l'art actuel à l'heure de la mondialisation culturelle, lieu propice à un renouvellement de l'identité et de l'imaginaire pour les communautés des Premières Nations d'Amérique du Nord. Il est divisé en deux parties. Les deux premiers chapitres énoncent une perspective socio-ethnohistorique autour des notions d'identité et de métissage, alors que le troisième chapitre expose un point de vue analytique à partir d'un corpus d'oeuvres de trois femmes artistes autochtones du Québec et de l'Ontario s'exécutant sur la scène artistique contemporaine, soit Sonia Robertson, Sylvie Paré et Rebecca Belmore. Plus spécifiquement, le premier chapitre fait état des connaissances et des discours sur les définitions même d'identité et de métissage dans les contextes colonial / postcolonial et moderne / postmoderne. Par extension, je pose cette question concernant l'hybridité culturelle: s'agit-il d'un principe d'homogénéisation et d'essentialisation des cultures ou d'un facteur garant d'hétérogénéité, favorable au mélange et aux échanges interculturels ? Le deuxième chapitre, quant à lui, énonce les contextes de dépossession territoriale et d'exiguïté culturelle dans lesquels ont été contraints les peuples des Premières Nations depuis l'époque coloniale. Il fait aussi mention des métissages artistiques (post)postmodernes, qui contribuent à un renouveau de l'imaginaire amérindien. Dans un esprit à la fois de contestation face à l'image folklorisée de l'« Indien » et de transmission des valeurs traditionnelles, les artistes autochtones font place à la réappropriation culturelle. Enfin, le troisième chapitre souligne les parcours identitaires de Sonia Robertson (Ilnue), Sylvie Paré (métisse huronne-wendat) et Rebecca Belmore (Anishinabekwe). À titre de comparaison, j'analyse un corpus d'installations et de performances sous le thème de la mémoire et de l'identité en lien avec les concepts élaborés dans les chapitres précédents. Le choix d'examiner le travail de trois femmes artistes provenant de communautés différentes permet de rendre compte de réflexions personnelles de la part de femmes autochtones face à la culture dominante et par rapport à leur culture d'origine. Ce choix vise par ailleurs à circonscrire, au sein même de leur production, l'importance de la tradition en fonction de leur affirmation identitaire. Je souhaite ainsi étudier comment ces propositions se positionnent dans un contexte de déterritorialisation culturelle en fonction d'une réalité post(néo)colonialiste, corrélative d'un entre-deux mondes. Pour conclure, je reviens sur les questions d'identité, de mémoire et de territoire en soulignant l'importance idéologique du combat identitaire des communautés autochtones, qui vise la mise en échec des préjugés et des constructions mythiques persistantes entre le « Blanc » et l' « Indien ». Je mesure en ce sens l'impact que pourrait avoir la pensée universelle amérindienne sur nos sociétés hypermodernes en crise et en quête de valeurs. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Identité, Métissage, Mémoire, Premières Nations, Néocolonialisme.

Jinnen är ett frekvent förekommande väsen i arabisk kultur och litteratur alltsedan förislamsk tid. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka hur jinnerna beskrivs och representeras i Fenixtrilogin av Sonia Nimr. Deras narrativa och litterära funktioner i böckerna relateras till deras representation och funktion i arabisk kultur och i ungdomsfantasy. Mieke Bals klassifikation av roller i en narrativ cykel används i analysen. Resultatet är att jinnen har en stark koppling till den klassiska bilden av en jinn i arabisk litteratur och kultur, men att några detaljer skiljer sig. Mest framträdande är jinnens entydigt goda egenskaper och funktioner i berättelsen. Slutsatsen är att trilogin ligger tydligt i linje med annan fantasylitteratur för ungdomar, men att jinnen har en unik roll som hjälpare eller god kraft. Den får i och med det en tydlig pedagogisk roll, i linje med barn- och ungdomslitteraturen. / The jinn is a frequently occurring entity in Arabic culture and literature since pre-Islamic times. The purpose of this literature study is to examine how the jinn are described and represented in the Thunderbird trilogy by Sonia Nimr. Their narrative and literary functions in the books relate to their representation and function in Arab culture and in young adult fantasy. Mieke Bal’s classification of roles in the narrative cycle is used in the analysis. The result is that the jinn bears a strong resemblance to the classical image of a jinn in Arabic literature and culture, but that some details differ. Most prominent are the jinn’s unambiguously good qualities and functions in the story. The conclusion is that the trilogy is clearly in line with other fantasy literature for young adults, but that the jinn has a unique role as a helper or as the good power. It therefore has a clear pedagogical role in line with children’s literature and Young Adult literature.
