Emptiness and fastidiousness in Christian Kracht's "Faserland"
No full textIf not one of the best, Christian Kracht is certainly one of the most talked about authors of fiction in the German language nowadays. His career goes back to 1995, when his first novel "Faserland" was published ‒ an event which helped to shape the so called "Popliteratur". However, whether it is the zero hour of a work composed of other good moments or whether it is the literary mark of a generation, "Faserland" is not only an example of a pop reality. It has also deserved frequent reading and interpretations, reprints and critical approaches, attracting by these means the attention of literary historiography. The novel narrates a few days' wanderings of a narcotized and affluent young man from Northern to Southern Germany reaching as far as Switzerland. There is no great adventure in the story, but the book leaves rather an impression of emptiness and fastidiousness which accompanies a senseless life. In this text, I investigate the kind of boredom produced by "Faserland".Christian Kracht é hoje, se não dos melhores, certamente dos mais comentados autores da ficção de língua alemã. Seu trajeto recua a 1995, ano da publicação de "Faserland", o primeiro romance, que aliás distinguiu as balizas daquela que, nessa década, se chamou "Popliteratur". Mas, seja a hora zero de uma obra composta de outros bons momentos, seja o ponteiro literário de uma geração, "Faserland" não é só exemplo pop, tem merecido constantes leituras, sempre novas tiragens, abordagens críticas e assim também a atenção da historiografia literária. No romance são narrados alguns poucos dias da vida narcotizada de um jovem endinheirado e meio sem rumo, do Norte ao Sul da Alemanha, até a Suíça. Nada extraordinário, nenhuma grande peripécia, nenhuma aventura, senão a impressão de um vazio todo presente e o fastio, força do aborrecimento. No texto, investigo que espécie de aborrecimento produz "Faserland"
No surgimento de "Sagarana"
No full textThe article refers back to the publishing context ofJoão Guimarães Rosa’s Sagarana in 1946 by focusingon some of the reviews and documents published in thepress at the time. We depart from a collection of cuttingsorganized by Rosa himself and which now belongsto the Fundo João Guimarães Rosa of the Instituto deEstudos Brasileiros of the Universidade de São Paulo.Our intention is to observe the book’s entry in the literarylocal canon. Amongst matters of genre, style, originalityand repetition we also discuss the polemic raisedby Álvaro Lins’s inaugurating article, accused of promotingthe book in exchange for a position favored byItamaraty, institution where Guimarães Rosa worked.Our purpose is to provide an investigation on the factorswhich construct a literary name, apart from theliterary excellence credited to Guimarães Rosa’s text.O artigo recupera o contexto da publicação do Sagarana (1946), de João Guimarães Rosa, privilegiando determinados aspectos que sobressaem na leitura dos documentos críticos publicados na imprensa do período. Parte-se da coleção de recortes organizada pelo próprio escritor, pertencente ao Fundo João Guimarães Rosa do Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros (IEB) da Universidade de São Paulo, com o intuito de observar sua inserção no cânone local. Entre os problemas destacados – de gênero literário, estilísticos, originalidade e repetição −, atenta-se para a polêmica despertada por artigo inaugurador de Álvaro Lins, acusado de promover a exaltação do livro estreante e seu autor, funcionário do Itamaraty, a fim de ser recompensado com cargo público. Procuramos, assim, investigar que espécies de determinações estão em jogo na construção do valor de um nome literário, ainda que a excelência do título de Guimarães Rosa superasse as provocações
The parallel between the novels Berlin Alexanderplatz and Grande Sertão: Veredas
No full textO paralelismo entre os romances Berlin Alexanderplatz e Grande Sertão: Veredas surge na crítica literária brasileira a partir de um comentário de Davi Arrigucci Jr. Com o intuito de prosseguir a discussão levantada, faz-se aqui uma análise mais detalhada dos elementos que os aproximariam como representantes do discurso do romance moderno. Privilegia-se, para tanto, as movimentações que caracterizam as trajetórias dos protagonistas Franz Biberkopf e Riobaldo, com a observação dos deslocamentos das personagens no espaço, emocionalmente, e, também, com a atenção que deve ser dirigida ao trânsito que opera a narrativa dos dois romances. Devem ser destacadas, com isso, particularidades desses romances que melhor os situam na tradição que os associa aos livros Os Anos de Aprendizagem de Wilhelm Meister e A Educação Sentimental.The parallel between the novels Berlin Alexanderplatz and Grande Sertão: Veredas was first drawn within the Brazilian literary criticism in a comment made by Davi Arrigucci Jr. With the intent of pursuing the discussion raised by the author, this article proposes a more detailed analysis of the elements which define both texts as representative works of the modern novel discourse. The analysis focuses on the movements which characterize the trajectories taken by the protagonists Franz Biberkopf and Riobaldo, with a view on the character\' transit in space, as well as emotionally, and also in regard to the transit that operates the narration within both novels. In this light, the article outlines the particularities which situate both novels within the tradition that associates them with the books Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre and L\'Éducation Sentimentale
\"Impatience of knowledge\": approximations to The Sleepwalkers by Hermann Broch
No full textA pesquisa consiste em aproximações aos Sonâmbulos, de Hermann Broch, e privilegia aspectos históricos e construtivos dessa trilogia composta de Pasenow ou o romantismo, Esch ou a anarquia e Huguenau ou a objetividade. Está dividida em duas partes. Na primeira, predomina a discussão do contexto literário e histórico, do pensamento do autor e de questões teóricas do romance como gênero. Aqui, tomamos a trilogia por um comentário sem igual à crise do romance de seu tempo, as ideias de Broch por uma ética da totalidade, e propomos uma retórica realista e metafísica como recurso-base do texto dos Sonâmbulos. Na segunda parte, prevalecem observações sobre a configuração da narrativa e investimos no jogo das semelhanças e diferenças dos três títulos. O objetivo é organizar um quadro para o entendimento do lugar dos Sonâmbulos e de sua especificidade literária. Impaciência do conhecimento, em Broch, significa poesia apta a se adiantar à ciência, romance capaz de se adiantar à filosofia.This research is devoted to Herman Brochs trilogy The sleepwalkers. The focus of our interest lies on the historical and constructive aspects of the novels Pasenow the romantic, Esch the anarchist and Huguenau the realist. The study is divided in two parts. The first one contains a discussion on the literary and historical context, on the authors thought and on theoretical questions about the novel as a genre. In our view, the trilogy offers a unique commentary upon the crisis of the novel around 1930. Moreover, we take Brochs ideas as an ethics of totality and we propose a realist and metaphysical rhetoric as a key device of the text of The sleepwalkers. The second part consists of observations on the narrative composition, in which we analyze the dynamics of similarities and differences among the three titles. Our aim is to provide a framework for the understanding of the trilogys literary place and specificity. Impatience of knowledge in Broch means poetry capable of anticipating science, novel being able to anticipate philosophy

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
