Albert Wendt como escritor pós-colonial : simbolismo, intertextualidade e a subversão de valores em Leaves of the Banyan Tree
No full textMestrado em Estudos InglesesO presente trabalho centra-se em algumas obras de Albert Wendt, escritor das ilhas de Samoa, pouquíssimo conhecido no nosso país mas que se aproxima cada vez mais dos horizontes literários Europeus. Como país já muito afamado pelas suas conquistas e descobrimentos, Portugal aproxima-se de todos os povos marcados pelo colonialismo, pelo menos num contexto teórico e comparativo. Albert Wendt esforça-se, através das suas obras, por dar a conhecer ao mundo todas as transformações sociais e culturais do povo de Samoa que vive agora no período pós-colonial. Ao analisar uma selecção das suas obras, pretendo fazer a correspondência entre a ficção e a realidade vivida pelo povo dessas ilhas numa perspectiva da área de estudos do pós-colonialismo. Muito embora abunde teoria relacionada com esta área de estudos, não se encontra ainda informação específica acerca de Albert Wendt em Porutgal. Como escritor contemporâneo que é, Wendt não está ainda academicamente divulgado entre nós, embora, de todos os escritores das micro-nações do Oceano Pacífico, seja o mais respeitado. Na presente dissertação, concentrei-me no seu romance Leaves of the Banyan Tree (1979) fazendo uma análise próxima e, assim espero, exaustiva, e, com uma intenção comparativa, nos seus outros romances Sons for the Return Home (1973), Pouliuli (1980), Black Rainbow (1995), O/a (1995) e nas suas duas colectâneas de contos: Flying Fox in a Freedom Tree (1974), e The Birth and Death of the Miracle Man (1986). Existem muito poucas análises críticas das obras em questão tendo sido necessário uma leitura atenta e pormenorizada das mesmas. Contudo, julgo ter conseguido demonstrar as marcas de pós-colonialismo nestas obras, partindo de uma observação da presença do simbolismo, da intertextualidade e da subversão de valores.The author on whom this dissertation centres, Albert Wendt, comes from the islands of Samoa and, in spite of not being very well known in our country, he is slowly becoming a part of Europe's literary horizon. Portugal's colonial history, in turn, means that there are at least points of theoretical and comparative context with colonised peoples everywhere. Through his works, Albert Wendt strives to divulge the cultural and social changes brought to a postcolonial Samoa. By analysing a selection of his works, I hope to illuminate the postcolonial position of the Samoan people, as represented in Wendt's work. Even though there is no shortage of information related to the general issues at stake in this dissertation, specific knowledge of Wendt is not widely available in Portugal. As a contemporary author, Wendt isn't yet academically extended in Portugal, even though he is the most respected out of all the writers of the Pacific's micro-nations. In this thesis, I have concentrated on a close and, I hope, extensive reading of his novel Leaves of the Banyan Tree (1979) and, for reasons of comparison, on his other novels Sons for the Return Home (1973), Pouliuli (1980), Black Rainbow (1995), Ola (1995) as well as both collections of short stories: Flying Fox in a Freedom Tree (1974) and The Birth and Death of the Miracle Man (1986). It became necessary to focus on a close reading of these works due to the lack of critical studies based on them. Nevertheless, I feel I have succeeded in demonstrating postcolonial features in these writings through the scrutinizing of their symbolism, intertextuality and subversion of traditional values
Espaços de mediação na obra de Albert Wendt
No full textAlbert Wendt is one of the most important authors in the Pacific region and has
been giving voice to many of those who had not had, until recently, the opportunity
of sharing their experiences and world vision, to do so.
The concept of diaspora along with hybridity will be approached as two of the most
important that are tested and explored by this author. Thus, a brief theorical
approach of these issues is introduced and then a practical approach to them is
made by means of an examination of the works Sons for the Return Home, Pouliuli
and Leaves of the Banyan Tree.Albert Wendt é um dos mais importantes autores do Pacífico e tem vindo a dar
a voz a todos aqueles que, até agora, não tinham tido a oportunidade de
partilhar as suas experiências e visão do mundo.
Os conceitos de diaspora e hibridismo serão abordados como dois dos mais
importantes que são testados e explorados na obra deste autor. Para tal, é
feita uma breve apresentação teórica destes conceitos seguida de uma
abordagem contextualizada dos mesmos nas obras Sons for the Return Home,
Pouliuli e Leaves of the Banyan Tree.Mestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e Cultura
La Mythification des origines insulaires : Albert Wendt et Edward Kamau Brathwaite
No full textInternational audienceA comparative study of « Inside Us the Dead » by the Samoan Albert Wendt and « Coral » by the Barbadian E.K. Brathwaite makes it possible to bring to light converging attitudes on the part of the two poets towards the question of the myth of origin. This essay also highlights the differences mainly due to the specific history of each region. Both appropriate, each in their own manner and by using specific literary forms, representations which are also used as markers of identity by the peoples to whom they belong.Une étude comparée de « Au Fond de nous les morts » du Samoan Albert Wendt et de « Coral » du Barbadien E.K. Brathwaite permet de mettre en lumière des attitudes convergentes de la part des deux poètes par rapport à la question du mythe des origines. Ce travail montre aussi les différences dues principalement aux particularités de l’histoire de chaque région. Tous deux s’approprient, chacun à leur manière et en utilisant des formes littéraires qui leur sont propres, des représentations qui servent aussi de support identitaire aux peuples dont ils font partie
