Para fundamentarmos a investigação, tomamos como foco da análise o romance Onde andará Dulce Veiga? (1990), com base nos escritos de Walter Benjamin e Antônio Candido. A ruína é entendida como o fragmento de algo que já fora maior, ao passo que o arruinamento é o processo em que ocorre a expansão dos elementos arruinadores. A “visão de mundo arruinada” mediaria os termos de uma equação em que há a representação da ruína e do processo de arruinamento, tanto na esfera temática quanto estrutural. Desta forma, se busca compreender como a “visão de mundo arruinada” perpassa algumas das escolhas textuais como o uso de uma linguagem fragmentada que, além de estabelecer um diálogo intertextual com a cultura de massas, remete à concepção de alegoria / Our Masters research has in its analytic horizon to investigate a possible worldview ruined in the work of Caio Fernando Abreu (1948-1996). To effectively research, we focus on analyzing the novel Whatever happened to Dulce Veiga? (1990), based on the writings of Walter Benjamin and Antonio Candido. The ruin is understood as the fragment of something that had already been increased, while ruining is the process in which occurs the expansion of book burners elements. The worldview ruined could mediate terms of an equation in which there is the representation of ruin and the process of ruining both the thematic and structural spheres. This way, if tries to understand how the worldview ruined pervades some of the textual choices such as using a fragmented language that, in addition to establishing an intertextual dialogue with mass culture, refers to the concept of allegory

Motivy, obrazy a (auto)stylizace českého dekadentního symbolismu / Motifs, Images and (self)-Stylizations of Czech Decadent SymbolismFremrová, Anna January 2020 (has links)
This thesis is focused on the decadent form of Czech symbolist literature at the turn of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The main task is to present a complex catalogue of motifs and images used by Czech decadents in their works and also to analyse the main methods and strategies they used - in particular interstatuality, also connected with the decadent effort to capture the uniqueness of each passing moment, and synaesthesia. The thesis also focuses on the radical individualism of decadent authors and its connection with both the motifs used and the symbolist style in itself - in the form of self-stylization of the decadent authors who tend to identify with their own works and become (even in real life) their own literal subjects. Because of the prominent visual aspect of decadent literature, the thesis also takes into consideration contemporary art works and the relations between words and images.

The philosophy of the animal in 20th century literatureUnknown Date (has links)
The following dissertation examines the philosophy of the animal as it appears in twentieth-century British and American literature. I argue that evolutionary theory, along with the Romantic emphasis on sympathy, creates an historical shift in our perception of humans and nonhumans. Beginning with Herman Melville's classic novel, Moby-Dick, the whale represents what I call a transitional animal figure in that the whale not only shows the traditionally symbolic literary animal but also the beginnings of the twentieth century shift toward the literal animal-as-subject. My proposed comparative analysis consists of a return to classic existential and phenomenological philosophers with animal studies in mind. A handful of critical essays in recent years have conducted just such an analysis. My contribution extends these philosophical endeavors on the animal and applies them to major literary authors who demonstrate a notable interest in the philosophy of animals. The first chapter of the dissertation begins with D.H. Lawrence, whose writings in selected essays, St. Mawr, and "The Fox" continue considerations made by Melville concerning animal being. Because Lawrence often focuses on gender, sexuality, and intuition, I discuss how a Heideggerian reading of animals in Lawrence adds value to interpretations of his fiction which remain unavailable in analyses of human subjects. In Chapter Two, I move on to William Faulkner's classic hunting tale of "The Bear" and other significant animal sightings in his fiction and nonfiction. For Faulkner, the animal subject exists in the author's particular historical climate of American environmentalism, modernism's literary emphasis on visuality, and race theory. / This combination calls for a natural progression from a Heideggerian existential phenomenology: a contemporary Sartrean reading of animal being. Finally, the last chapter examines J.M. Coetzee, an author whose texts show the accumulated existential and phenomenological progression in the philosophy of the animal with a combined interest in current political and social issues surrounding animal life in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. / by Jamie Johnson. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2009. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

A hermeneutical study of the Midrashic influences of biblical literature on the narrative modes, aesthetics, and ethical concerns in the novels of George EliotLaw-Viljoen, Bronwyn January 1993 (has links)
The thesis will examine the influence of Biblical literature on some of the novels of George Eliot. In doing so it will consider the following aspects of Eliot criticism: current theoretical debate about the use of midrash; modes of discourse and narrative style; prophetic language and vision; the influence of Judaism and Jewish exegetical methods on Adam Bede, "The Lifted Veil", The Mill on the Floss, Felix Holt, and Daniel Deronda. Literary critics have, for a long time, been interested in the influence of the Bible and Biblical hermeneutics on literature and the extent to which Biblical narratives and themes are used typologically and allegorically in fiction has been well researched. In this regard, the concept of midrash is not a new one in literary theory. It refers both to a genre of writing and to an ancient Rabbinic method of exegesis. It has, however, been given new meaning by literary critics and theoriticians such as Frank Kermode, Harold Bloom, and Jacques Derrida. In The Genesis of Secrecy, Kermode gives a new nuance to the word and demonstrates how it may be used to read not only Biblical stories but secular literature as well. It is an innovative, self-reflexive, and intricate hermeneutic processs which has been used by scholars such as Geoffrey Hartman and Sanford Budick, editors of Midrash and Literature, a seminal work in this thesis. Eliot's interest in Judaism and her fascination with religion, religious writing, and religious characters are closely connected to her understanding of the novelist's role as an interpreter of stories. In this regard, the prophetic figure as poet, seer, and interpreter of the past, present, and future of society is of special significance. The thesis will investigate Eliot's reinterpretation of this important Biblical type as well as her retelling of Biblical stories. It will attempt to establish the extent to which Eliot's work may be called midrash, and enter the current debate on how and why literary works have been and can be interpreted. It will address the questions of why Eliot, who abjures normative religious faith, has such a profound interest in the Bible, how the Bible serves her creative purposes, why she is interested in Judaism, and to what extent the latter informs and permeates her novels.

Des silences linguistiques à la poétique des silences: l'oeuvre de Stéphane MallarméMiksic, Vanda 19 September 2005 (has links)
Le silence — ou plutôt la grande variété de ce que l’on appelle “silences” — est un phénomène complexe qui prend une part directe dans la dynamique du langage et la création du sens linguistique, mais aussi dans la production du sens symbolique et des effets poétiques. Le travail est organisé en deux parties: la première traite la question de l'acte de silence dans l'expérience linguistique du monde, tandis que la deuxième analyse l'expérience poétique des silences en appliquant les résultats précédemment obtenus au Coup de dés de Stéphane Mallarmé. Plus précisément, dans la partie linguistique, on passe en revue différentes théories pour dégager la place que le silence s’y voit reconnaître. On l’étudie successivement en tant que signe linguistique, en tant qu’acte linguistique, comme élément pertinent, comme procédé rhétorique, comme phénomène symbolique. La partie poétique se fonde sur la théorie de l'évocation pour aboutir, en passant par un chapitre consacré à la poésie moderne dans son ensemble, à l'œuvre de Stéphane Mallarmé, le premier poète qui ait créé une véritable poétique des silences, tant dans ses ouvrages poétiques (dont le Coup de dés est l'exemple le plus radical) que dans ses écrits théoriques. / Doctorat en philosophie et lettres, Orientation linguistique / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

"Minds will grow perplexed": The Labyrinthine Short Fiction of Steven MillhauserAndrews, Chad Michael 25 February 2014 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Steven Millhauser has been recognized for his abilities as both a novelist and a writer of short fiction. Yet, he has evaded definitive categorization because his fiction does not fit into any one category. Millhauser’s fiction has defied clean categorization specifically because of his regular oscillation between the modes of realism and fantasy. Much of Millhauser’s short fiction contains images of labyrinths: wandering narratives that appear to split off or come to a dead end, massive structures of branching, winding paths and complex mysteries that are as deep and impenetrable as the labyrinth itself. This project aims to specifically explore the presence of labyrinthine elements throughout Steven Millhauser’s short fiction.
Millhauser’s labyrinths are either described spatially and/or suggested in his narrative form; they are, in other words, spatial and/or discursive. Millhauser’s spatial labyrinths (which I refer to as ‘architecture’ stories) involve the lengthy description of some immense or underground structure. The structures are fantastic in their size and often seem infinite in scale. These labyrinths are quite literal. Millhauser’s discursive labyrinths demonstrate the labyrinthine primarily through a forking, branching and repetitive narrative form.
Millhauser’s use of the labyrinth is at once the same and different than preceding generations of short fiction. Postmodern short fiction in the 1960’s and 70’s used labyrinthine elements to draw the reader’s attention to the story’s textuality. Millhauser, too, writes in the experimental/fantastic mode, but to different ends. The devices of metafiction and realism are employed in his short fiction as agents of investigating and expressing two competing visions of reality. Using the ‘tricks’ and techniques of postmodern metafiction in tandem with realistic detail, Steven Millhauser’s labyrinthine fiction adjusts and reapplies the experimental short story to new ends: real-world applications and thematic expression.
