Os paratextos das antologias brasileiras de contos de Edgar Allan Poe no século XXI
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014.Esta tese analisa elementos paratextuais em antologias brasileiras de contos de Edgar Allan Poe lançados ou reeditados nos doze primeiros anos do século XXI, verificando de que forma o autor e sua obra são apresentados ao leitor através desses paratextos. Para tanto, analiso quartas capas, orelhas, prefácios, posfácios e notas. O nível de participação do tradutor na utilização desses elementos é também examinado, para que se possa averiguar até que ponto esse intermediador de culturas teve visibilidade nas publicações. A referida análise é norteada, principalmente, pelos fundamentos teóricos de Gérard Genette, sobretudo em seu livro intitulado Paratextos Editoriais (2009), do original Seuils (1987).Abstract : This thesis analyzes paratextual elements in Edgar Allan Poe's Brazilian anthologies of short stories published or reprinted in the first twelve years of the 21st century, observing how the author and his fictional writings are presented to the reader through those paratexts. Thus, I analyze back pages, flaps, forewords, afterwords, and notes. The use the translator made of those elements is examined in order to assess the translator's visibility in the published editions. The referred analysis is grounded mainly on Gérard Genette's theory, especially in his book entitled Editorial Paratexts (2009) from the original Seuils (1987)
To what extent may the unfavorable viewpoints of critics on E. A. Poe's use of horror and social satire in his stories be refuted by examples from and analysis of the author's eight short stories?
No full textWith numerous short stories and poems, Edgar Allan Poe is considered to be the piquant and
astounding milestone of the American Literature. Yet, his style and achievements have always
been interpreted antagonistically by large numbers of critics. This study analyzes the features
unique to Edgar Allan Poe in his short stories “Murders In The Rue Morgue”, “The Fall of
The House of Usher”, “A Tale of Jerusalem”, “The Pit and The Pendulum”, “The System of
Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether”, “A Cask Of Amonillado”, “The Masque of Red Death”
and “The Man That Was Used Up” while refuting to chosen examples of negative reviews
about Edgar Allan Poe.
Due to the fact that Edgar Allan Poe is well-known for his usage horror, satire, humor and
fiction in his short stories, these qualities have been criticized mostly by many writers and
philosophers as well. In this sense, the scope of the study will be sharpened on how these
techniques are used in his short stories to make them nonpareil and what was Edgar Allan
Poe’s authorial intention while utilizing these attributes in his works. At this point the analysis
of the characters, themes and plot will be prioritized compared to the language and style that
Edgar Allan Poe uses in his texts.
Since the criticism against Poe focus on the usefulness of such features in his short stories and
how they intimidate the reader from the text, the study proves that the gap between Poe and
the reader is a simple issue of reciprocal misunderstanding which is proven to be artificial and
bogus with examples and facts from his short stories
Edgar Allan Poe's place in literature
No full textThe more a person is subjected to criticism, the greater he usually is, for critics will not ordinarily criticize unless the subject is worthy of study and comment.
Few writers have been as severely criticized as Edgar Allan Poe, and even fewer have had to endure as much injustice. Certainly, no other American writer has been subjected to similar attacks. It is paradoxical that such a harshly criticized and detested author at home should scale the heights of glory and admiration to which he climbed in foreign opinion

Author-as-franchise-product: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. and Tarzan™ as historical branded entertainment
No full textThis chapter explores the historical relationship between the branded media entertainment of Tarzan and the rise of consumer culture in the 1920s and 1930s. It argues that the successful licensing of this property across pulp magazines, comics, cinema, and radio reflected the embrace of brand-franchise logics throughout the business landscape of America at that time. I will document the industrial structures in place and those which evolved accordingly to enable Tarzan to be manufactured corporately and sold as narratively transmedial components of an historical branded media franchise. The chapter also analyses the function of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs and his company, suggesting that his visibility as franchise-author played a crucial role in constructing these brand linkages between media products
The Erosion of State Capacity and the European Innovation Policy Dilemma: A Comparison of German and EU Information Technology Policies. IHS Political Science Series: 2000, No. 70
No full textThe article analyzes the impact of the globalization of markets, technologies and companies and of the Europeanization of public policies on state capacities in technology policy. Based on empirical examples from the field of information technology, the article argues that technology policy has been characterized by two contradictory developments in the last two decades. On the one hand, the concepts and strategies guiding public policies have become more and more complex, resulting in comprehensive programs for national and European "innovation policies". On the other hand, as a result of the economic globalization; as well as of changes in the internal structure of the state, the state capacities to implement these ambitious strategies successfully have been eroding. As a consequence, technology policy both on the national and on the supranational level has been confronted with an intensifying strategic dilemma. Finally, the article discusses policy options to cope with this strategic dilemma in innovation policy
