FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / A obra de Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953) constitui um rico e variado material para a pesquisa em histÃria, enveredando pela relaÃÃo com a fonte literÃria. Neste trabalho, foco minhas atenÃÃes para o interior do nordeste brasileiro retratado pelo escritor alagoano, tomando dois de seus romances de ficÃÃo, SÃo Bernardo(1934) e Vidas Secas(1938), pilares de sua obra, para analisar as questÃes conflitantes entre o homem Graciliano e as transformaÃÃes sociais que o envolvem, o registro da aÃÃo desse homem enquanto à observada sua prÃpria aÃÃo como literato engajado e, por fim, o poder que acompanha o saber e o contato com a produÃÃo literÃria, tambÃm verificado nessa arma que à a escrita. Dessa forma, o trabalho se divide em capÃtulos que tratam de cada uma dessas questÃes: tempo, fome e fala, a fim de tentar compreender o registro literÃrio da realidade do interior nordestino dos anos 30 do sÃculo passado. / The books by Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953) form a rich and varied subject for researching History, heading for the relation with the literary source. In this work, I focus on the interior of the northeast of Brazil depicted by that writer, starting from two of his novels â in fact, his masterpieces â âSÃo Bernardoâ (1934) and âBarren Livesâ (1938), in order to analyse questions about the conflict between Graciliano Ramos and social transformations which embrace him, the registration by him on his own action as a committed man of letters and, finally, the power which accompanies the knowledge and the contact with the literary production â this weapon, the writing. In this way, this work is divided in chapters which deal with this subjects: time, hunger and speech, trying to understand the literary register on reality of northeastern interior of Brazil in the thirties last century.

Este trabalho procura ler o Naturalismo brasileiro como parte importante de um movimento internacional e analisa algumas das adequações estéticas, temáticas e de método pelo qual passou. Considera que, a partir do modelo de romance experimental proposto por Émile Zola, autores como Aluísio Azevedo, Júlio Ribeiro e Adolfo Caminha, entre outros, escreveram romances que transformaram em matéria literária o processo de modernização econômica conservadora do Brasil no final do século 19, construindo personagens e tramas que deixaram marcas mais profundas na literatura brasileira do que tradicionalmente é reconhecido. Romances como O cortiço, A carne e Bom-Crioulo tocaram em questões traumáticas para o país, como a escravidão e o controle da sexualidade dos indivíduos, numa sociedade que se aburguesava em vários sentidos, e significaram uma modernização nas letras e nas mentalidades do país. / This work attempts to read the Brazilian Naturalism as an important fact of this international movement and examines some of aesthetic, thematic and methodological adjustments it has been passed in Brazil. It considers that the model proposed by Emile Zola was adapted in Brazil by authors such as Aluisio Azevedo, Julio Ribeiro and Adolfo Caminha, among others. The novels written by these authors expressed the conservative economic modernization of Brazil in the late 19th century, building characters and plots that have left marks in the Brazilian literature that are deeper than is used to recognize. Novels like O cortiço, A carne e Bom-Crioulo touched on traumatic issues, such as slavery and sexuality of individuals, in a progressively bourgeois society, and meant an expressive modernization in Brazilian letters and mentalities.

Dessa forma, construiu uma carreira extensa e movimentada, pois, além dos romances, escreveu em jornais do Rio de Janeiro e de São Paulo, também dirigiu órgãos de destaque ligados à cultura e à sociedade civil, especialmente durante o regime militar instaurado em 1964. Apesar desse percurso, críticos literários e historiadores da literatura e da história da região do cacau predeterminaram àquele autor, lugar e perfil imóveis na história intelectual brasileira - a de escritor "metafísico" e "apolítico" - verdadeiro contraponto ao seu conterrâneo, o "comunista" Jorge Amado. A despeito dessa imagem cristalizada no tempo, procuro demonstrar o quanto Adonias Filho atuou na construção de sua própria figura como escritor, assim como nas ocorrências de sua época e região; ainda, o quanto a sua argumentação foi moldada por elas. O estudo evidencia também como arte, história e política sempre formaram as vigas mestras de sua produção intelectual e literária, questão particularmente flagrada no longo debate literário e político ocorrido entre o autor e seu constante "adversário" Jorge Amado. / Abstract: This study deals with the political and intellectual journey curriculum of the writer Adonias Aguiar Filho, author of important works such as The servants of the Dead, Lázaro's Memories and The alive body. These books subject analyze the society of Ilhéus area of cocoa production. Adonias Aguiar Filho was significant author of critical Brazilian literary and history between 1930 and 1980. Thus, he has a long and very busy career, because in addition to novels, he wrote Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo newspapers; he also directed relevant organizations related to culture and society, especially during the military regime in 1964. Although this curriculum, literary critics, historians of literature and Historians criticize the author, as immobile or inert profile in the Brazilian intellectual history. They called Adonias Aguiar Filho the "metaphysical" and "apolitical" writer true counterpoint to his countryman, the "Communist" Jorge Amado. In spite of this image crystallized in time, we focus on how Adonias energetically build up his own image as a writer, as well as he was very interested in the events of his time and region. We will analyze how his novel?s argument has been shaped by his time events. The study also try to demonstrate how art, history and politics have always formed the girders of Adonias intellectual and literary production, an issue particularly exposed on the long literary and political debate between the author and his constant "adversary" Jorge Amado. / Doutorado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Doutor em História

Em fins do século XIX um jovem empresário estadunidense fundou uma empresa exportadora de bananas na República da Costa Rica: a United Fruit Company. Mesmo que o comércio de bananas e outras frutas tropicais tenha representado apenas uma parte dos produtos exportados pelos países da América Central a exportação de café, por exemplo, sempre foi mais significativa , as companhias bananeiras foram eternizadas por diversos romancistas em alguns dos países centro-americanos em que atuaram. Este trabalho pretende mostrar a trilogia bananeira: Viento fuerte (1949), El Papa verde (1954) e Los ojos de los enterrados (1960) do escritor guatemalteco Miguel Angel Asturias, como uma possibilidade de representação da história da United Fruit Company na Guatemala. Utilizando romances como fonte histórica e realizando a articulação entre o discurso literário e o discurso histórico, a intenção é mostrar a interpretação de Asturias sobre a ação desta multinacional em seu país. Problematizando o encontro entre ambos os discursos e fazendo dialogar a informação histórica sobre o ocorrido e o tratamento literário que Asturias dá a esses mesmos fatos em sua trilogia bananeira. / In the end of the XIX Century a young American enterpreneur founded in the Republic of Costa Rica a company to export banana: the United Fruit Company. Even though the banana commerce and other tropical fruits had represented only a part of the exported products by the Central America countries the coffee export for instance has always been more significant the companies that traded bananas were eternalized by a great variety of novelists in some Central American countries were they acted. This work aims to show, as a possibility to represent the History of the United Fruit Company in Guatemala, the books that composes the Banana Trilogy: Viento fuerte (1949), El Papa Verde (1954) and Los ojos de los enterrados (1960) from the Guatemaltec writer Miguel Angel Asturias. Using novels as a historic source and accomplishing the joint between the literary and historic speech, the intention is to show the interpretation of Asturias concernig the action of this muitinational company in his country, to open debate between both speeches and to articulate the historic information and the treatment that Asturias gives to this information in his Banana Trilogy books.

This thesis explores the relationship between Creation and the saints Cuthbert and Guthlac in their Anglo-Latin and Old English vitae. It argues that this relationship is best understood through received theological exegesis concerning Creation's present state in the postlapsarian world. The exegesis has its foundation in Augustine's interpretations of the Genesis narrative, though it enters the textual tradition of the vitae via an adapted portion of De Genesi contra Manichaeos in Bede's metrical Vita Sancti Cuthberti (VCM). Both Augustine and Bede argue, with slight differences, that fallen Creation can be restored into prelapsarian harmony with humanity by way of sanctity. Each individual vita engages with this understanding of the Fall in distinct, though ultimately interrelated, ways, and the chapters of this thesis will therefore explore each text individually. Chapter 1 argues that the anonymous Vita Sancti Cuthberti (VCA) unites Cuthbert's ability to restore Creation with the theme of monastic obedience, linking the ordering of a monastery to the restoration of prelapsarian harmony. The VCA also seeks to create sites for potential lay pilgrimage in the landscapes of Farne and Lindisfarne by highlighting the present efficacy of Cuthbert's miracles. Chapter 2 argues that Bede's VCM not only reveals his early attempt to fashion Cuthbert into the primary saint for Britain, via a focus on Cuthbert's obedience to the Divine Office, but also that the restoration of Creation functions as a ruminative tool. Chapter 3 argues that Bede transforms the nature of Cuthbert's sanctity in his prose Vita Sancti Cuthberti (VCP) from static to developmental, influenced by the Evagrian Vita Antonii, and that Creation is adapted to function as the impetus for, and evidence of, Cuthbert's progression. Chapter 4 argues that Felix's Vita Sancti Guthlaci (VSG) unites the development of Guthlac with a physically delineated Creation, and that the restoration of Creation is elevated to an even greater degree here than in Bede's hagiography. Chapter 5 argues that the author of the Old English Prose Guthlac (OEPG) grounds his vita by utilizing a landscape lexis shared with contemporary boundary clauses, so that here the relationship between the saint and Creation has greater force; it further argues that Guthlac A uniquely connects Guthlac with the doctrine of replacement, consolidating links between his arrival to the eremitic space and the restoration of prelapsarian Eden.

[pt] Esta pesquisa pretende analisar qual o papel do negro na obra do intelectual Sílvio Romero. A análise, terá como base as obras A literatura brasileira e a crítica moderna (1880), A história da Literatura Brasileira (1888), Martins Penna: ensaio crítico (1901) e Brasil Social e outros estudos sociológicos (2001) nas quais o autor mobiliza um repertório racialista para se pensar a composição racial na identidade nacional. Acreditando na existência de uma lacuna no entendimento de como o intelectual sergipano pensa a população negra, se introduz essa questão em um contexto marcado pela ação da Geração de 1870 que elaborava uma cultura capaz de renovar mentalidades daquela contemporaneidade através dos ideais cientificistas caracterizados como sendo verdades absolutas, agindo em contraposição aos pilares imperiais que seriam representados como símbolos do atraso. Para realizar esse processo, a ação intelectual romeriana é dividida em três fases: crítica radical, crítica equilibrada e pessimismo, escolhendo obras que representassem essas fases e que trouxessem respostas para a seguinte pergunta: qual o papel do negro na obra de Sílvio Romero? / [en] This research intends to analyze the role of black people in the work of the intellectual Sílvio Romero. The analysis will be based in the works: A literature brasileira e a crítica moderna (1880), A história da Literatura Brasileira (1888), Martins Penna: ensaio crítico (1901) e Brasil Social e outros estudos sociológicos (2001) which the author mobilizes a racialist repertoire to think about racial composition in national identity. Believing in the existence of a gap in the understanding of how the Sergipe intellectual thinks about the black population, we will introduce this issue in a context marked by the action of the Generation of 1870, which elaborated a culture capable of renewing mentalities of that contemporaneity through the scientistic ideals characterized as being absolute truths, acting in opposition to the imperial pillars that would be represented as symbols of backwardness. To carry out this process, we divided the author intellectual action into three phases: radical criticism, balanced criticism and pessimism, choosing works that represent these phases and that bring answers to the following question: what is the role of black people in the work of Sílvio Romero?

This research report explores the link between the novels of Ingrid Winterbach / Lettie Viljoen, a third culture and the neo-Victorian novel. The study is therefore situated within the cultural-philosophical framework of a third culture, which implies that the two cultures of science and literature do not function as separate disciplines, but as an organic unit. Researchers in the interdiscipline of literature and science identify the Age of Science (1879–1914) – including the Victorian era (1837–1901) – as a historical period where the existence of such a third culture was observed. This period was characterised by numerous scientific discoveries, and Darwin’s theory of evolution generated heated debates in Victorian society. Nineteenth-century literature (and specifically the Victorian novel) therefore reflects the spirit of an age where the interaction between science and literature was particularly evident. In our information-driven society, the focus is once again on scientific discovery and dissemination of knowledge, prompting social critics to typify the current period as “neo-” or “retro-Victorian”. The contemporary imagination still problematises Darwin’s theory of evolution, and fiction such as Winterbach’s therefore not only renegotiates the fixed modernistic boundaries between science and literature, but also revisits the nineteenth- century genres simptomatic of a similar third culture. Winterbach’s novels (1984–2006) display a distinctive predisposition towards natural history and Darwinistic principles and are therefore postmodern adaptations of nineteenth-century conventions. Darwinistic concepts such as growth, metamorphosis,transformation, evolution and the origin, naming and extinction of species are therefore accentuated. Winterbach’s fictionalisation of a nineteenth-century worldview can be linked to the work of her ancestors in the Afrikaans literary tradition, Eugène Marais and C. Louis Leipoldt (both amateur scientists). Her popularisation of scientific knowledge and revisitation of Victorian codes also link her to a neo-Victorian novelistic movement (a contemporary permutation of the Victorian tradition). Her oeuvre therefore also displays similarities to that of her British contemporary, A.S. Byatt, a prominent neo-Victorian novelist. An exploration of the natural world in this tradition, however, also implies an exploration of supernatural spheres, a trend which is equally evident in texts by congeners such as (George) Eliot, Marais, Leipoldt, Winterbach and Byatt. / Afrikaans / D.Litt. et Phil.

The subject matter of this thesis is manuscript and scribal culture in the age of print. Its first part explores the flourishing scholarship of post-medieval scribal culture in Europe and beyond over the past 25-30 years, as well as recent trends and turns in the historiography of printing and of literacy. These studies make a strong case for a radical revision of how these fundamental cultural phenomena should be viewed. As a part of the so-called cultural turn and postmodernist revisionism of the 1980s and 1990s, the new trend has been to reject the dichotomies of manuscript versus print and of literacy versus illiteracy in favour of more ambiguous and complex images where multiple media and modes of transmission and reception coexist and interact with each other. The second part of the thesis deals with literary culture in nineteenth-century Iceland: both the general framework of the production, dissemination and consumption of texts, and the individual case of the farmer, fisherman and scribe Sighvatur Grímsson (1840-1930) and his cultural surroundings. Focussing on Sighvatur’s life between 1840 and 1873, the thesis presents an argument about the function of the scribal medium within a poor, rural, and de-institutionalized society. Central to the theoretical framework is a microhistorical approach and the juxtaposition of both narrow and wide scope, zooming from one individual protagonist out to his local surroundings and communities and further out to Icelandic scribal and literary culture as a whole. The scope of the thesis can be described in terms of four concentric circles: the individual, his intimate community, Icelandic society, and the wider European and global context during the ‘post-Gutenbergian era’.
