    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Partindo da premissa de que o narrador borgesiano apresenta um modo sui generis de contar suas histórias, este trabalho pretende analisar o foco narrativo em "Las ruinas circulares", "La casa de Asterión" e "El imortal", do escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges. Dentre as teorizações sobre o foco narrativo são aqui utilizadas aquelas que melhor se adaptam a este narrador que revela e esconde os acontecimentos, rompendo com a aparente linearidade do relato e apresentando um traçado complexo de focalizações que se assemelha aos descaminhos de um labirinto. O resultado são narrativas labirínticas que, através de jogos infinitos de espelhos, acabam por precipitar-se num abismo de significações

    Women's life writing 1760-1830 : spiritual selves, sexual characters, and revolutionary subjects

    No full text
    PhDThis thesis uses print and manuscript sources to analyse and interpret women's life writing at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries. I explore printed works by Catharine Phillips, Mary Dudley, Priscilla Hannah Gurney, Ann Freeman, Elizabeth Steele, Mary Robinson, Helen Maria Williams, Mary Wollstonecraft, Grace Dalrymple Elliott, and Charlotte West and discuss the manuscripts of Mary Fletcher, Mary Tooth, Sarah Ryan, and Elizabeth Fox. Of these sources, five have never been analysed in the critical literature and six have received little attention. Considered as a group, this large corpus of texts offers new insights into the personal and political implications of different models of female selfhood and social being. In chapter one, I compare the religious identities presented in the spiritual autobiographies of Quakers and Methodists. For these women, religious identification provides a powerful sense of social belonging and enables public participation. However, it may also lead to a loss of self in the demand for religious conformity and self-abnegation. In chapter two, I consider the life writing of late eighteenth-century courtesans. These women adapt available models of femininity and female authorship in order to establish themselves as socially connected subjects. However, their narratives also reveal that dependence on the sexual and literary marketplace puts female selfhood under pressure. In chapter three, I explore the eyewitness accounts of British women in the French Revolution. I argue that, for these writers, connecting personal identity to political history is an enabling source of self-definition but it also exposes them to the risks of self-fragmentation. In my focus on the social function of women's life writing, I present an alternative to the traditional alignment of the eighteenth-century autobiographical subject with the autonomous self of individualism. These narratives allow us to reconsider the productive and problematic dialectic between personal expression and representative selfhood, self-authorship and collective narratives, and individualism and social being. They suggest that women's life writing has the potential to be both the self-expression of a unique heroine and the self-inscription of a politicised subject

    Childhood in the works of Silvina Ocampo and Alejandra Pizarnik

    This thesis explores childhood as theme and perspective in the Argentine cuentista and poet Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993) and traces this thematic and vital link to the Argentine poet Alejandra Pizamik (1936-1972). The study looks at childhood not only in relation to their literary texts but also in the writers' construction of self-identity within their socio-literary context, and at the role played by visual art in their aesthetic. Chapter 1 contrasts Silvina with her elder sister Victoria Ocampo through their differing literary appropriation of a shared childhood. It distinguishes Ocampo from Adolfo Bioy Casares and Jorge Luis Borges in terms of her fictional logic and her treatment of games, drawing comparisons instead with Julio Cortdzar. Chapter 2 undertakes close reading of various Ocampo texts, including some for children, in order to explore her vision of childhood through nostalgia, adult-child power relationships, aging and rejuvenation, and moments of initiation or imitation. Chapter 3 turns to Pizarnik and the myth of the child-poet. It analyses her child personae through Andre Breton's Surrealism, Jean Cocteau and Octavio Paz, through her borrowings from Alice in Wonderland and Nadja, and through her obsession with madness, death, orphanhood, violation and transgression. Chapter 4 is comparative. It outlines the context in which Ocampo and Pizamik's passionate friendship developed, and considers Pizamik's essay on Elpecado mortal. It then explores their broad mutual literary and thematic affinities. My conclusion is that Ocampo's works achieve equilibrium between childhood and age, whereas Pizarnik's much-discussed poetic crisis of exile from language itself parallels her deep sense of anxiety at being exiled from the world of childhood. This thesis contributes to the study of Argentine literature by drawing revealing comparisons between two key writers through their shared obsession with childhood, arguing that an understanding of their attitudes to childhood is fundamental to appreciating fully their work. I refer to unpublished letters of Ocampo, material from private interviews, photographs and relevant paintings by Leonor Fini, Alicia Carletti and others

    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2013Estudo das leituras e dos livros feministas com ênfase em uma determinada geração de leitoras identificadas com os feminismos em discussão durante as ditaduras militares e os períodos de redemocratizações entre as décadas de 1960 e 1980 no Brasil e na Argentina. A partir da análise de uma série de depoimentos (memórias) e produções textuais sobre os feminismos - livros, artigos, reportagens e resenhas publicadas em jornais e revistas - o presente trabalho procura compreender as ressonâncias das leituras nas constituições dos feminismos e nas identificações pessoais das leitoras com os movimentos feministas em ambos os países, assim como (re)constituir um repertório de leituras consideradas feministas que brasileiras e argentinas elaboram e reiteram como "clássicas" do movimento. Ou seja, esta tese tem por objetivo refletir sobre a produção de um cânone de leituras feministas historicamente elaborado por uma "comunidade de leitoras feministas" onde ganham destaque O segundo sexo, de Simone de Beauvoir, e Mística Feminina, de Betty Friedan, entre os textos mais citados tanto nas falas quanto nas produções escritas. Uma que vez que a maioria das feministas entrevistadas e autoras dos textos produzidos entre os anos 1960 e 1980 estavam ligadas às instituições de ensino e/ou organizadas em movimentos feministas, considerou-se a ação institucionalizadora das leituras na esfera acadêmica, legitimando produções textuais e ajudando a formar grupos de pesquisa. Concluiu-se que a menção a um texto e/ou autora não é aleatória, mas está inscrita em um processo complexo que remonta aos paradigmas compartilhados por uma comunidade específica de leitoras <br

    O processo de criação de um porto para Elizabeth Bishop, de Marta Góes: proposta de uma edição genética

    No full text
    O presente estudo analisou o processo de criação da peça Um Porto para Elizabeth Bishop (2001), um monólogo para ser encenado, escrito por Marta Góes. A peça faz uma releitura da vida e da obra de Elizabeth Bishop, uma das maiores poetisas do século XX que, nas décadas de 50 e 60, residiu no Brasil. Buscou-se entender como se desenvolveu o processo de escritura da referida peça, cujos primeiros indícios podem ser identificados no manuscrito disponibilizado pela dramaturga. A fim de analisar esse processo de criação, os estudos da Crítica Genética serviram de embasamento teórico-metodológico, partindo de reflexões propostas especialmente pelos geneticistas Almuth Grésillon (1994) e Pierre-Marc de Biasi (2000). Foi proposta e realizada uma edição genética do material disponível a fim de tornar acessível o referido manuscrito de Marta Góes às pessoas que se interessam por essas áreas de conhecimento.This study has analyzed the creative process of a dramatic monologue to be performed on stage, called A Safe Haven for Elizabeth Bishop, first published in Brazil as Um Porto para Elizabeth Bishop (2001), by Marta Góes. The play recreates the life and work of Elizabeth Bishop, one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, who lived in Brazil in the fifties and sixties. We have sought to understand how the writing process of the play has taken place by retracing the first indexes of such process identified in the manuscript provided by the author. In order to develop the referred analysis of such creative process, we have used Genetic Criticism as its theoretical and methodological basis, especially taking into account reflections by the geneticists Almuth Grésillon (1994) and Pierre-Marc de Biasi (2000). A genetic edition of the available material was proposed and developed in order to make the writing process of Marta Góes’s play accessible to people who are keen on studying such a field of interest

    "different sentiments & different connections supports them" : sensibility, community, and diversity in British women's Romantic-period poetry

    Get PDF
    With diversity as an overarching theme, women writers' responses to the cultural feminisation and developing social climate of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain are explored through analyses of their poems on sensibility, community, and abolition. To determine a focus for expressive criticism and recover Romantic women writers from the social and historical contexts that have previously succeeded in highlighting male literary achievements, women's poetry is considered a distinct contribution to Romanticism. This dissertation analyses poems written by Joanna Baillie, Anna Barbauld, Harriet and Maria Falconar, Frances Greensted, Frances Greville, Elizabeth Hands, Eliza Knipe, Isabella Lickbarrow, Hannah More, Amelia Opie, Priscilla Pointon, Mary Robinson, Mary Scott, Helen Maria Williams, Ann Yearsley, and Mary Julia Young. Although literature brought together the public and private spheres, sensibility mediated between the two and served as a social currency for women. The various applications of sensibility are apparent in its dual-gendered nature, its link with reason, and the significance of economic language. A new genre of the "Address to Sensibility" was prominent in the period and followed a loose formula which defined sensibility, traced its personal impact, and determined a link between the Romantic culture and heightened emotion. Through explorations of poems on intellectual coteries, patronage, creative influence, Reviews, and literary critique, it is evident that women poets' affiliations with the literary community were marked by a discomfort based on their literary associations, the anxiety about their public reception, and the social differences in the literary community. However, the development of social, intellectual, literary, and critical communities alleviated this discomfort and contributed to women's participation in literary culture. In addition, women poets expressed sensibility and used images of community in diverse ways in their works against slavery and the trade. Abolitionist poetry acts as a case study of the particular motifs, highlighted throughout, such as the amalgamation of masculine and feminine, the political and economic applications of sensibility, the association of feeling with reason and community, and the assertion of individuality amidst commonality. Women poets' petitions to alleviate the sufferings of slaves paralleled arguments for the improvement of British society to benefit women. The poems discussed signify the complexity of the issues of sensibility, community, and diversity

    This research focuses on the thematic representation of image information, through the analysis of woodcuts by Graciete Correia Borges, artistically known as Nena Borges, the oldest woodcut artist in activity in the State of Pernambuco. To guide this study, the following question stands out as a starting point: how are the themes of Nena Borges' woodcuts represented? This scenario allows us to define the general objective of analyzing the themes portrayed in the woodcuts, experienced in the three levels of image analysis of the iconological method proposed by Erwin Panofsky. More specifically, the objectives aim to: Identify the elements that structurally make up the works under analysis from the pre-iconographic level; describe the symbology of the elements and scenarios identified from the perspective of the iconographic level; contextualize the historical and cultural aspects that characterize the themes of the woodcuts analyzed, supported by the iconological level. Referentially, the theoretical framework is based on the thematic and imagery representation of information. Regarding the methodological path, this study objectively configures itself as a descriptive research of a bibliographic nature , which involves a qualitative approach of an applied nature, from a documentary perspective. As a data collection instrument, documentary analysis was used on the woodcuts produced by the artist, available in online format on the Instagram platform. The results express that the applied methodology enabled a more in-depth and interdisciplinary analysis of the subjects contained in the woodcut works. By describing the elements and interpreting them, based on historical, social and political sources, it was possible to find the respective themes represented by popular culture: dance, games, music, traditions and folkloric figures. Concluding, therefore, that the woodcut is a source of image information relevant to the representative process of cultural manifestations, especially in the Brazilian Northeast, where each carved feature makes up a figure that portrays the memory, customs and identity construction of its people.NenhumaEsta pesquisa debruça-se sobre a representação temática da informação imagética, mediante a análise das xilogravuras de Graciete Correia Borges, artisticamente conhecida como Nena Borges, a mais antiga Xilógrafa em atividade no Estado de Pernambuco. Para nortear o presente estudo, evidencia-se como ponto de partida o seguinte questionamento: como são representadas as temáticas das xilogravuras de Nena Borges? Esse cenário permite delimitar como objetivo geral, analisar as temáticas retratadas nas xilogravuras, experienciada nos três níveis de análise da imagem do método iconológico proposto por Erwin Panofsky. De forma mais específica os objetivos visam: Identificar os elementos que compõem estruturalmente as obras em análise a partir do nível pré-iconográfico; descrever a simbologia dos elementos e cenários identificados sob o prisma do nível iconográfico; contextualizar os aspectos históricos e culturais que caracterizam as temáticas das xilogravuras analisadas, com suporte do nível iconológico. Referencialmente, o arcabouço teórico se fundamenta no âmbito da representação temática e imagética da informação. Quanto ao percurso metodológico, este estudo configura-se objetivamente como uma pesquisa descritiva de cunho bibliográfico, que envolve uma abordagem qualitativa de natureza aplicada, numa perspectiva documental. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, foi utilizada a análise documental nas xilogravuras produzidas pela artista, disponíveis em formato online na plataforma Instagram. Os resultados expressam que a metodologia aplicada possibilitou uma análise mais aprofundada e interdisciplinar acerca dos assuntos contidos nas obras xilográficas. Ao realizar a descrição dos elementos e a interpretação, com base em fontes históricas, sociais e políticas, foi possível encontrar as respectivas temáticas representadas pela cultura popular: dança, brincadeira, música, tradições e figuras folclóricas. Concluindo, deste modo, que a xilogravura é uma fonte de informação imagética relevante para o processo representativo das manifestações culturais, especialmente no Nordeste brasileiro, onde cada traço talhado compõe uma figura que retrata a memória, os costumes e a construção identitária do seu povo
