Essa dissertação tem como objetivo a leitura comparativa dos contos de fadas da escritora inglesa Angela Carter, contidos no livro O quarto do Barba Azul, e os da ítalo-brasileira Marina Colasanti, presentes em livros como Uma ideia toda azul, Entre a rosa e a espada, Doze reis e a moça no labirinto do vento. Foram analisadas os modos pelo quais as duas autoras, através da reescrita dos contos de fadas, resistem a morte do narrador tradicional descrita por Walter Benjamin e criticam a sociedade patriarcal, revelando, naturalmente, uma postura feminista. Identificou-se, ainda, como estratégias poéticas comuns à escrita de ambas as autoras, aspectos intertextuais como a paródia, o palimpsesto e o pastiche / This dissertation aims to comparative reading of fairy tales English writer Angela Carter, in the book The Bloody chamber, and the Italian-Brazilian Marina Colasanti, present in books like Uma ideia toda azul, Entre a espada e a rosa , Doze reis e a moça no labirinto do vento. We analyze how these authors resist the death of the storyteller described by Walter Benjamin and criticize the patriarchal society, revealing, of course, a feminist stance. Identified also as poetic strategies common to the writing of both authors, intertextual aspects such as parody, pastiche and the palimpsest

nÃo hà / GuimarÃes Rosa was a storyteller. Throughout all his literary work, there are many storys, in all sizes and kinds. The characters who tell these stories are as important as the stories themselves. Among the many storytellers found in the pages of Corpo de baile we can remark the boy Miguilim, in âCampo Geralâ. Within these pages, we tried to understand the act of storytelling as a major factor in the growing process of Miguilim. He and the other children who are storytellers have a creative gift that make them distinct to the tradicional storytellers, the adults. In order to assay that , we compared the children storytellers (in Primeiras estÃrias) to Joana Xaviel and the old Camilo, traditional grown-up storytellers in âUma estÃria de amorâ. After that, we focused on the stories that Miguilm makes up/tells, pointing out the moment they are told, what motivates her making of, and their function in the narrative. We take these stories as part of a communicative process (though entirely fictional), thatâs why itâs very important to know their context and audience. After all, we compare the narrative of âCampo geralâ to the only text of the oral literature quoted by Miguilim: âHansel and Gretelâ. Many of the symbols and metaphors of the fairy tale were taken to the GuimarÃes Rosaâs literary piece, as an essential part of its themes and conflicts. / GuimarÃes Rosa era um contador de estÃrias. Em toda a sua obra as encontramos dos mais variados tamanhos e tipos. Se as estÃrias sÃo importantes na construÃÃo da sua obra, os personagens que as contam nÃo o sÃo menos. Entre os exemplos de contadores de estÃrias que se revelam nas pÃginas de Corpo de baile, conjunto de 7 novelas, destaca-se o menino Miguilim. No presente trabalho, pretendemos entender como o ato de contar estÃrias à determinante para a trajetÃria de vida e o amadurecimento de Miguilim. Tanto ele quanto os demais contadores crianÃas possuem uma capacidade criadora que os difere dos tradicionais contadores de estÃrias, jà adultos. Para afirmar tanto, comparamos outros contadores crianÃas (de Primeiras estÃrias) com Joana Xaviel e o Velho Camilo, exemplos de contadores tradicionais adultos encontrados em âUma estÃria de amorâ. Em seguida, nos centramos na estÃrias que Miguilim cria/conta, destacando cada uma delas assim como o momento em que sÃo contadas, o que motiva a sua criaÃÃo e qual a funÃÃo que exercem a partir daÃ. Analisaremos as estÃrias como parte de um processo comunicativo (mesmo que ficcional), portanto serà de relevÃncia notarmos o contexto em que estÃo inseridas e quem sÃo os seus ouvintes. Por fim, procederemos a uma anÃlise comparativa entre âCampo geralâ e o Ãnico texto da literatura oral citado por Miguilim: âJoÃo e Mariaâ. Muitos dos sÃmbolos e mensagens que encontramos no conto de fadas sÃo transportados para a novela, tomando parte na construÃÃo de seus temas e conflitos.

O trabalho analisa os processos criativos da escritura do texto e escritura do corpo na rapsódia Minha Mãe Preta e nos espetáculos A Carroça é Nossa, A Besta Fera e As Três Fiandeiras, do grupo Xama Teatro. O grupo, com sede em São Luís, Maranhão, desenvolve seus espetáculos tendo como ponto de partida a arte de narrar. Nas produções artísticas do grupo ganha destaque a figura do ator-contador: aquele que canta, conta e fala, que reveza o narrador e a personagem, a primeira e a terceira pessoa. O ator-contador constrói seus passos a partir dos rastros dos rapsodos e griots, do sujeito épico, dos brincantes e narradores anônimos. Com o pé fincado na memória, na tradição e na oralidade, ele fala de si e também fala do outro; com o poder da palavra mescla histórias reais e ficcionais. Para a manifestação da figura do ator-contador são necessárias algumas condições. Entre elas: o uso de uma voz que evoca elementos ausentes; o pensamento do neutro que produz o espaçamento entre a fala e a ação; a noção do espectador como público-ouvinte; o uso de uma fala direta para o público; a criação autoral de obras com textos de vocação oral; a escrita de uma dramaturgia híbrida que mescla os modos épico, lírico e dramático; a inserção do dramaturgo-contador no processo de criação, de forma conjugada com os atores-contadores. / This research paper analyzes the creative processes of both text and body writings of the rhapsody Minha Mãe Preta (My Black Mother), and the presentations A Carroça é Nossa (The Cartwheel is Ours), A Besta Fera (The Stupid Beast), and As Três Fiandeiras (The Three Spinners). The Xama Teatro Group, established in the city of São Luís, in the State of Maranhão, develops its presentations having the art of narrating as its starting point. In its artistic productions, the character of the actor-storyteller stands out: he is the one that sings, tells stories and talks, switching from the persona to the narrator, from the first to the third person. The actor-storyteller builds up his steps as from the path of rapsodos and griots, from the epic subject, from the brincantes (players), and from the anonym narrators. With his foot planted in memory, tradition and orality, he speaks of himself and also speaks of others, combining both real and fictional stories. In order to manifest the character of the actor-storyteller, some settings are necessary. Among them: the use of a voice that evokes missing elements; the neutral thought that produces the spacing between speech and action; the notion of the observer being the public listener; the use of a direct speech to the public; the authorial creation of works with oral vocation texts; the writing of a hybrid dramaturgy that mixes the epic, lyric and dramatic modes; the insertion of the playwright-storyteller in the creation process, in a conjugated way with actors-storytellers.

Guelwaar, à l’opposé des autres œuvres de Sembène Ousmane – dont les films sont tirés de nouvelles et de romans- a suivi le sens inverse du schéma classique de l’adaptation en ce qu’il est un film devenu roman. Une telle particularité fait que notre travail suit deux parcours : de l’écrit à l’écran et de l’écran à l’écrit. La fonction narrative de Sembène qui représente dans l’écriture l’art du conte africain constitue le point commun entre un bon nombre de travaux sur l’œuvre littéraire et filmique de Sembène Ousmane. A partant du narratif pris en charge par le « griot-conteur », notre étude tient à montrer que le langage de l’œuvre de Sembène n’est pas seulement narratif, il est aussi « monstratif » et surtout visuel, lequel langage occupe une part importante dans la lecture du livre et du film de Sembène Ousmane. / Guelwaar, contrary to other works of Sembène Ousmane - Films of which are pulled by news and by novels, followed the inverse sense of the classic plan of the adaptation in the fact that it is a film become novel. Such a peculiarity makes that our work follows two courses: of the paper in the screen and the screen to the paper.The narrative function of Sembène which represents in the writing the art of the African tale constitutes the common point enter a good many of works on the literary and cinematic work of Sembène Ousmane. In leaving of narrative taken care by the "griot-storyteller", our study is anxious to show that the language of the work of Sembène is not only narrative,He is also " monstratif " and especially visual, who language occupies an important part in the reading of the book and the film of Sembène Ousmane.

Following the trauma of the Nakba (Catastrophe) of 1948, Palestinians still suffer from constant violations of their rights, land and culture. To fight forgetfulness and denial, some Palestinian folklorists have sought to collect, document, analyse and translate pre-1948 Palestinian folktales. One major example is Speak, Bird, Speak Again (1989), a selection edited by Ibrahim Muhawi and Sharif Kanaana, and its Arabic version Qul Ya Tayer (قول يا طير (2001)). The folktales, told mainly by women, are divided by the compilers into five main groups, following the individual’s life cycle from childhood to old age: Individuals, Family, Society, Environment and Universe. This thesis analyses the folktales in the English and Arabic compilations along with their paratextual elements (introduction, footnotes, afterwords etc) in order to explore the importance of orality and folktales in framing and preserving Palestinian memory and identity. Structured into four chapters, the thesis starts by highlighting the cultural and social roles of storytellers in Palestine, followed by an overview of the religious, social and psychological functions of folktales. It then describes the paratextual elements in the Arabic and English compilations, shedding light on the need to carry out scientifically and academically based documentation of Palestinian folktales. The compilers’ contribution, the thesis argues, reinforces the discourse of cultural resistance and cultural identity affirmation. The thesis takes memory studies as its main theoretical framework. Synthesising various concepts within memory studies, Chapter Two explains relevant ideas for analysing the folktales, such as collective memory, post-memory, cultural/communicative memory and prosthetic memory. The discussion connects memory to a number of generations across time and space, creating a narrative of continuity. This chapter also explores the components of Palestinian collective memory - oral history, language, nationalism and the Nakba; the latter the thesis attempts to situate within the field of memory and trauma studies. The thesis then probes the essential role played by Palestinian women in transmitting and preserving Palestinian memory and cultural identity, and explores their agency both as storytellers and protagonists. Through their roles as mothers, sisters, wives and daughters, and through their narrative skills and humour, women, the thesis argues, engender and gender Palestinian memory and identity. To understand the interconnection between language, cultural and collective identity, Chapter Four highlights the significance of peasantry discourse in the folktales’ pre-1948 setting, creating a site of memory and homeland while triggering nostalgia and collectivity. Folk religion and food culture are important markers of Palestinian cultural identity and memory; hence, religious expressions, folktale characters and food references in the folktales and tellings are also investigated. The thesis highlights the agency of Palestinian women via food culture, and thus their power in promoting long established cultural and social values as well as regenerating cultural memory. This research sheds new light on the role of the Palestinian folklorist, folktales and storytellers, adopting a novel approach that combines memory, trauma, and food studies among others.

Memória da Cultura, textos constantes e textos excluídos pelo esquecimento. A memória do sonho como a primeira obra de ficção jamais criada pelo homem. O sonho enquanto embrião narrativo de fábulas. Cânones, mecanismos culturais de controle. A performance da palavra. A movência das narrativas orais. O projeto poético e a rede intersemiótica de criação. Inconsciente coletivo, matizes arquetípicos e o mar como metáfora da metáfora do manancial das fábulas imemoriais. / The memory of culture, constant texts versus excluded texts, fables doomed to be forgotten. Remembering dreams as the first work of fiction ever created by mankind. Dreaming as telling tales. Standards as cultural controlling devices. Words as performances. Travelling through oral folktales. Poets and their artistic approach to life, plus the intersemiotic net for art creation. Unconscious collective, archetypical blending of nuances and the sea as the universal metaphor of the everlasting source of long forgotten fables.

Storytelling is recognized as an important skill in many fields including, but not limited to communication, education, and business. A professional storyteller is dependent on their voice, which is their biomedically imbedded work tool. This study, guided by research questions, examines the effects of voice loss on professional voice users. Employing a qualitative method, using one-one-one interviews and a focus group, this study investigates the experiences of a singer/actor, a singer/storyteller, a storyteller/public speaker, a teacher/storyteller, and an administrator to examine impacts of their varying degrees of voice loss on their quality of life. Findings indicate that vocal dysfunction, or dysphonia, had the following impacts for storytellers and professional voice users. First, it impaired their ability to work. Participants experienced from limited to complete inability to perform their job. This suggests that professional vocal performers are at risk for economic distress if they lose full use of their voice. Second, dysphonia created emotional distress. The implications of voice loss for those who heavily rely on their voices for work, include reduced quality of life. Finally, dysphonia impacted identity. Specifically, the participants described the challenge of losing their defined role as speaker or singer and having to let go of their former identity. This suggests that when voice professionals experience voice loss, they may be faced with relinquishing their identity and seeking a new one. The author makes suggestions for future research on voice loss for specific groups of professional voice users, such as storytellers, singers, teachers, actors, and others. These individuals may use this knowledge to better negotiate challenges of vocal dysfunction if it occurs. Understanding the relationship of a vocal professional and their voice will enable healthcare providers and other professionals to better provide care and support.

This study examines how professional storytellers negotiated a new storytelling stage—the videoconference platform—as they pivoted their careers during mandated shutdowns due to COVID-19. An examination of the literature reveals extremely limited research involving either professional storytellers or live virtual storytelling. After interviewing five professional storytellers, I analyzed their stories through narrative inquiry. Analysis revealed that the storytellers negotiated the limitations and affordances of Zoom and adapted their storytelling to successfully connect with their audiences. Through crafting a narrative of their stories, I was able to represent their emotions, unique experiences, and abilities to adapt to the online environment. Their stories document significant changes in the art of storytelling during a historic era. This research reveals how storytellers can master the techniques of online storytelling and effectively tell stories to synchronous virtual audiences.
