A metaforização da Amazônia em textos de Euclides da Cunha
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística, Florianópolis, 2013Abstract: This thesis is the result of a research which had as objective analyzing Euclides da Cunha´s metaphorical discourse about Amazonia, and how that discourse is organized in the texts written by this author. The design of this general objective arose from the following research problems: what is Euclides da Cunha´s metaphorical discourse about Amazonia made of? What metaphors does he use to describe Amazonia in his texts? Why did he use so many metaphors to refer to the region? The study has searched for answer(s) to such questions, on the limits of the research nature, which has followed along three big guiding axes: Amazonia, Euclides da Cunha, and Metaphor. Through the analysis of Euclides´s texts, I try to show that he was a good metaphorist. I make the reading of the Amazonian metaphors in Euclides from a classical approaching (initiated by Aristotle), an interactionist approaching (whose precursor was I. A. Richards, and whose main exponent was Max Black), and conceptual approaching (created by George Lakoff and Max Johnson), and the live metaphor (proposed by Ricoeur). I explore, from each one of these theories, metaphors which Euclides da Cunha created for reflecting about his work and for describing geographical and landscaping aspects of Amazonia, as well as the people, social relationships, boundary conflicts, and other region snapshots. I describe Euclides da Cunha´s views on the Amazonia, having as starting point his Amazonian metaphors, and I explore the dichotomy on artistic writing versus scientific writing on the writer´s texts. The study has its support on one basic hypotheses: Euclides da Cunha, on his Amazonian texts, fights two crucial dilemmas: firstly the difficulty of dealing with a threefold boundary he had to pass by: boundaries of territory, of science, and of comprehensible things; secondly, the metalinguistic reflections about his texts, when he stumbles before science crossed lines with fiction, by feeling incompatibility between literary text and scientific text, but at the same time, he does not get rid of the trend of conciliating these two methodologies, inconceivable for him. In this work, I defend the thesis that the metaphor was the recourse found by Euclides da Cunha for dealing with two dilemmas. I develop considerations about this dichotomy in Euclides da Cunha´s writings, taking as basis the theoretical considerations of Ricoeur (1983), Lakoff and Johnson (2002) and Paiva (2005), principally. The methodological way of this thesis was made by the channel of bibliographic research, including on this purpose: the decisive points of travellers´ writing tradition about the Amazonia region, Carvajal´s reports on the nineteenth century; Euclides da Cunha´s texts, mainly those on Amazonia collectanea ? a lost paradise, published in 2003 by Editora Valer in Manaus/Am, besides the author´s active letters where he refers to the region; texts of theories about metaphors regarding different views and reflections on the dichotomy scientific language versus artistic language. The bibliographic research has supplied elements for the theoretical foundation and contributed for reinforcing the analyses and the final version of this thesis. Among the theoretical principles, indispensable for the study support, are the concepts on Amazonia, metaphor, metalanguage, and literature. The checking of different views and slopes on metaphor which I revisit has allowed me to recollect supplementary data, from diverse conceptions, which decisively contributed for enabling me a more diversified view, on different angles, about the main metaphors that Euclides da Cunha created on his interpretation of Amazonia. And, considering that the author´s texts are full of metaphors, I pointed out for this study only those that are relevant for the hypothesis highlighted. The research points out that Euclides wanted to build a language that synthesized the science and art truth. Writing about Amazonia, he has started this discourse, but it was incomplete, like the own earth incompleteness. Euclides has found the key for the metaphor enigma ? it only is able to say the unsayable, translate the untranslatable, embrace the unembraceable. Therefore, Euclides used it without parsimony. Metaphor is introduced there as a bridge over the ineffable abyss. And it still contributes to fill in many troublesome gaps both on scientific and artistic language. So I conclude that both in the case of sertões baianos and Amazonia, it was the metaphors that have redeemed Euclides, giving vigor to his writings and offering an access key to an unfinished world for in a certain way comprehend him
Narratividade e cientificismo: A construção literária dos sujeitos de Canudos em Euclides da Cunha
No full textWe propose to discuss the structure
of meaning/feeling that guides Euclides da
Cunha to build through literary narrative an
atmosphere capable of making the reader not
only understand the meanings contained in his
book, but also constructs interpretive strategies
about the narrated universe. For this, we taken
two moments of the book, the Hercules-
Quasimmodo allegory and the metaphor of the
fight between the Sucuri and the Bull, here
understood as ideas-forces mobilized by the
author to figure the Canudenses and their
opponents.Propomos problematizar a estrutura de sentido/sentimento que orienta Euclides da Cunha a construir narrativamente uma atmosfera capaz de fazer com que seu leitor não apenas compreenda os significados contidos em sua obra, mas também construa estratégias interpretativas acerca do universo narrado. Para isso tomamos dois momentos da obra, a alegoria Hércules-Quasímodo e a metáfora da luta entre a Sucuri e o Touro, aqui entendidos como ideias-forças, mobilizadas pelo autor para figurar os Canudenses e seus opositores

Euclides da Cunha : uma poética da paisagem
No full textOrientadora: Dra. Patrícia da Silva CardosoTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Defesa : Curitiba, 28/02/2019Inclui referências: p. 141-146Resumo: Pesquisar as paisagens e sua importância na narrativa de Euclides da Cunha, buscando compreender como se configuram e as relações que se estabelecem entre sertão e floresta amazônica, as principais paisagens abordadas pelo autor, é o objetivo deste trabalho. O intento tem como objeto a paisagem sertaneja presente em Os sertões (1902) e a floresta apresentada nos escritos amazônicos de À margem da História (1909), respectivamente, a primeira e última obra do autor. A hipótese que se ergue a partir do estudo das obras é a de que Euclides elabora um processo de investigação que tem na paisagem seu elemento medular e que concentra sua força no diálogo entre sertão e floresta. É este processo literário singular que chamo de Poética da paisagem, com o qual Euclides buscou ampliar sua interpretação do país. Configurada dentro do sistema cultural vigente na passagem do século XIX para o século XX, a poética de Euclides estabelece com este, múltiplas, e nem sempre estáveis, relações históricas - que serão abordadas ao longo desta pesquisa, que tem como função consequente contribuir com uma compreensão mais ampla da obra de Euclides da Cunha e, evidentemente, de sua complexa visão do Brasil. Palavras-chave: Euclides da Cunha. Sertão. Amazônia. Poética da Paisagem.Abstract: Researching landscapes and their importance in the narrative of Euclides da Cunha, seeking to understand how they are configured and the relationships established between the Backlands and the Amazon rainforest, the two main landscapes addressed by the author, is the objective of this work. The intent has as objects the sertaneja landscape present in Os sertões (1902) and the forest presented in the Amazonian writings of À marginal da História (1908), respectively, the author's first and last work. The hypothesis that arises from the study of the works is that Euclides elaborates a process of investigation that has its medullary element in the landscape and that concentrates its strength in the dialogue between the backlands and the amazon rainforest. It is this unique literary process that I call Landscape Poetics, with which Euclides sought to expand his interpretation of the country. Configured within the cultural system in force at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, Euclid's poetics establishes with this system multiple, and not always stable, historical relationships - which will be addressed throughout this research, whose consequent function is to contribute with a broader understanding of Euclides da Cunha's work and, evidently, of his complex vision of Brazil. Keywords: Euclides da Cunha. Backlands. Amazon. Landscape Poetic
Brutalidade antiga: sobre história e ruína em Euclides
No full textEste artigo analisa um dos aspectos menos enfatizados nas interpretações correntes sobre a obra de Euclides da Cunha: sua filiação às tendências estéticas e à concepção de mundo do Romantismo, muito marcante na literatura e cultura brasileiras da segunda metade do século XIX. Na busca dessas raízes, recupera-se, de modo sumário, o roteiro de uma poética das ruínas e seu vínculo estreito com a própria visão da História em Euclides, cujas figurações remontam a Volney, no fim do século XVIII, e a V. Hugo, mais proximamente ao autor de Os sertões. Tais afinidades são indicadas em textos menos estudados de Euclides, entre os quais "Poema rude", escrito em 1895, em Campanha, Minas Gerais, e não-incluído em sua Obrei completa.This article analyses one of the least emphasized aspects in the current interpretation of Euclides da Cunha\u27s work, his affiliation with the asthetic trends and world views of Romanticism, remarkably present in Brazilian literature and culture during the second half of the nineteenth century. In the quest for those roots, we retrace briefly the traveled road of a "poetics of ruins" and its close connection with the author\u27s eighteenth century and, closer to the author of Os sertões (Rebellion in the backlands), to Victor Hugo. Such affinities are pointed in some of Euclides da Cunha\u27s least studied texts, among which "Poema rude" (Rough poem), written in 1895 at Campanha, Minas Gerais, and not included in his Obra completa (Complete work)
