    Resumo: A história das viagens à Lua inicia-se com Plutarco, com Sobre a face visível da órbita da Lua. No entanto, deste pioneiro, os posteriores escritores aproveitarão apenas a ida à Lua, visto que sua viagem é inteiramente regida pelo mote da religião grega. Somente serão inseridos nas viagens à Lua os elementos que hoje mais as enriquece: a sátira, encontrada em Icaromenipo e Narrativas Verdadeiras de Samósata, a crítica social, em The first Man in the Moonde H.G Wells, a visão distanciada do mundo e a consideração científica e astronômica, de Kepler emSomniuim e John Wilkins, em The Discovery of a World in the Moone. Francis Godwin, bispo anglicano autor deThe Man in the Moone (1638) herdará a tradição das viagens à Lua luciânicas, e na sua narrativa procurará oferecer um projeto político para o reinado de Jaime I, ficando no impasse entre a saudação dos tempos augustos do governo de Elisabete I e a reformulação do modelo de governo monárquico.Palavras-chave: viagem à lua, Francis Godwin, Stuart. Abstract: The history of the journeys to the Moon begins with Plutarch’s The visible face of the moon's orbit.

    L'homme dans la lune : The Man in the moone, or a Discourse of a voyage thither, by Domingo Gonsales

    In-8oThe Man in the Moon de Francis Godwin (1562-1633) est le premier récit de voyage dans l'espace écrit en langue anglaise. Ce texte qui reflète les théories scientifiques et philosophiques de son époque est une mise en œuvre littéraire de la conception de l'univers des années 1630. On y trouve des échos aux théories de Copernic sur le mouvement de la terre, de Galilée sur la surface lunaire, et de William Gilbert sur le magnétisme, ainsi que des références au Songe de Kepler, publié un an après la mort de Godwin mais qui avait circulé auparavant sous forme manuscrite. Ces aventures imaginaires insérées dans un cadre historique précis mettent en scène un gentilhomme espagnol, Domingo Gonzales, forcé de s'embarquer pour les Indes après un duel. Malade, il est débarqué sur l'île déserte de Sainte-Hélène. Il y apprivoise des cygnes sauvages, les gansas, et leur apprend à le porter dans les airs. Au retour de la flotte il les prend avec lui pour repartir en Espagne. Mais dans l'archipel de Teneriffe, représenté sur cette gravure, il s'envole avec eux pour échapper à une attaque anglaise. Ses oiseaux le portent au sommet du Pic de Teide et de là prennent leur envol vers la Lune. Le voyage dure onze jours, sans effort pour les volatiles car l'équipage n'est bientôt plus soumis à l'attraction terrestre. Le narrateur a l'occasion pendant ce voyage de voir la terre tourner sur elle-même et de confirmer la théorie de son mouvement. Au cours de sa montée il rencontre des esprits malins du ciel. A son arrivée Domingo Gonzales découvre un peuple de géants vertueux qui parlent une langue musicale et universelle. Sur la lune la durée du jour est plus longue que sur la terre et les corps y sont si légers qu'il suffit d'agiter un éventail pour voler. Pour retourner sur la terre Gonzales emprunte le même chemin et atterrit en Chine, sans s'écraser sur le sol grâce à l'action d'une pierre de la lune qu'il porte contre lui. Evêque, écrivain et historien anglais Francis Godwin a aussi laissé une œuvre historique sur l'Angleterre avec les Annales of England et le Catalogue des évêques d'Angleterre (1601). Publié de façon posthume à Londres en 1638, The Man in the Moon a été traduit en français en 1648 par Jean Baudouin. C'est sans doute cette version qui était connue de Cyrano de Bergerac et dont il s'inspira pour son Autre monde . Cet exemplaire de la première édition anglaise fait ici partie d'un recueil. Il est relié avec d'autres textes astronomiques, le De libris revolutionum de Copernic, le Sidereus nuncius de Galilée, la Dissertatio cum nuncio sidereo de Kepler et l' Explicatio characterum, aeneis, uranometrias de Bayer

    La máquina fantástica de Francis Godwin y el viaje a la Luna de Domingo Gonsales

    A fines del siglo XVI las noticias provenientes de tierras americanas tienen mayor difusión y comienzan a percibirse como un lugar concreto de exploración y conquista. Este hecho coincide con una retracción de las especulaciones utópicas acerca de territorios ignotos en el globo y una búsqueda de otros modos de imaginar lo desconocido en el espacio exterior que apela, fundamentalmente, a la divulgación de los nuevos conocimientos acerca del universo. Esta exposición se centrará en la obra de Francis Godwin, The Man in the Moone, escrita a principios del siglo XVII y publicada póstumamente en 1638. En primer lugar, se analizarán las características generales del texto para luego identificar cuáles son los motivos que hacen de ella un antecedente posible de la novela de viaje y aventuras de Defoe. Se señalarán, finalmente, los rasgos que insertan la creación de Godwin en la tradición satírica de Luciano, que retomará posteriormente Swift

    La découverte d’un autre monde : fiction et théorie dans les œuvres de John Wilkins et de Francis Godwin

    En 1638 paraissent en Angleterre The Man in the Moone de Francis Godwin et A Discovery of a New World in the Moone de John Wilkins, le premier offrant le récit fantaisiste du voyage lunaire de Domingo Gonsales, le second discutant méthodiquement la possibilité d’un tel voyage. Cet article met en question la distinction entre fiction et théorie que ces deux textes sembleraient tracer, en montrant comment le voyage dans la lune contribue à brouiller les frontières. Plutôt que l’alternative inadéquate « fiction/théorie », nous proposons d’adopter les modalités utilisées par les textes eux-mêmes, le possible et le probable. Il s’agit, à partir de ces nouvelles catégories, de réévaluer le traitement narratif et théorique du voyage lunaire : le discours scientifique inclut progressivement la fiction sous la forme de l’hypothèse, et la fiction intègre des éléments théoriques, au point de participer au débats astronomiques de son temps.The Man in the Moone by Francis Godwin and A Discovery of a New World in the Moone by John Wilkins both appeared in England in 1638. The former offers a fanciful tale of the lunar voyage of Domingo Gonsales; the latter systematically discusses the plausibility of such a voyage. This article calls into question the distinction between fiction and theory, which these two texts might appear, respectively, to represent, by showing how moon travel contributes to the blurring of these lines. Rather than the inadequate distinction between fiction and theory, we propose the use of the modalities defined by the texts themselves: the possible and the probable. These new categories lead us to re-evaluate the narrative and theoretical treatment of lunar travel. Scientific discourse increasingly includes fiction in the form of hypotheses and fiction incorporates scientific elements to the extent that it participates in the debates on astronomy

    Towards Goosepunk: A Contemporary Poetic Treatment of Francis Godwin\u27s \u27The Man in the Moone\u27

    Full text link
    This article proposes a retro-futurist mode of science fiction based on seventeenth-century technology and culture. After a brief account of retro-futurist subgenres, named for the technology they are based on with the suffix -punk, I introduce my own poetic reworking of Francis Godwin\u27s 1638 novel The Man in the Moone, one of a group of texts inspired by early modern New Astronomy. The novel\u27s hero flies to the moon in a craft of his own invention drawn by a flock of migrating birds (swans in the original). Godwin\u27s narrative is enjoyable for modern readers for its combination of vivid imagination, accurate speculation and, with hindsight, intriguing counter-factuality. My treatment aims to emphasise these aspects, eliminating other parts of the text such as the picaresque adventures that open the novel. Treated in this way, the story offers similar pleasures to more established modes such as steampunk. Godwin and his contemporaries were heavily dependent on animals for their power: to reflect this, the article proposes the term \u27goosepunk\u27 for its early modern retro-futurist subgenre

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Orientador: Carlos Eduardo Ornelas BerrielDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudos da LinguagemResumo: Alguns anos antes da deflagração da Revolução Inglesa de 1640, que na Inglaterra deporia o regime monárquico e daria aos puritanos o controle de um regime pretensamente republicano, ocorreria uma série de erros políticos que contribuiriam para os conflitos que levaram à Guerra Civil. Boa parte deles adveio da política pró-Espanha assumida pelos dois primeiros reis Stuart, Jaime I e Carlos I, que, entre outras ações, não apoiaram as classes protestantes nas suas empresas de comercialização e colonização de mercados no exterior, deixando a situação econômica do país negativa. Diante do iminente fenecimento do regime monárquico, da Igreja Anglicana alicerçada no sistema episcopal e de aliança ao Estado, do perigo da Inglaterra se tornar domínio espanhol, Francis Godwin compõe por volta de 1629, publicado seu texto em 1638, a ficção utópica "The Man in the Moone". Sumarizando todo o conflito religioso e os deslizes do governo dos primeiros Stuart que caracterizou a Inglaterra nos 40 primeiros anos do século XVII, o presente estudo objetivará mostrar que essa ficção do espanhol Domingo Gonsales na sua viagem à lua, na passagem pela fictícia ilha de Santa Helena e pela China ocupada por jesuítas, debatendo as teorias de Copérnico, Galileu, Gilbert e Kepler na área da astronomia, se pretendeu uma defesa e proteção da Igreja Anglicana e do regime monárquico Tudor que aliava a Igreja ao Estado e favorecia a economia. Através do exemplo disciplinado e inovador dos jesuítas em missão na China no início do século XVII, Godwin intentará advertir os confusos reis, que a saída para os conflitos internos e externos ingleses estava no livre desenvolvimento da ciência, do comércio, e, agora diferente dos jesuítas, numa política adversária à Espanha e à mentalidade medieval e obsoleta católicaAbstract: Some years before the outbreak of the English Revolution of 1640, testifying that in England the monarchy and the Puritans would control an allegedly republican regime, there were a series of errors that contribute to political conflicts that led to the Civil War. Most of them came from the pro-Spanish political assumed by the first two Stuart kings, James I and Charles I, who, among other things, did not support the Protestant classes in their trading enterprises and colonization of overseas markets, leaving the economic situation of the country negative. Faced with the imminent withering of the monarchy, the Anglican Episcopal Church founded on the alliance with the State, the danger of Britain becoming a Spanish colony, Francis Godwin composed around 1629 and his text published in 1638, the utopian fiction "The Man in the Moone". Summarizing all the religious conflict and glides early Stuart England that characterized the first 40 years of the seventeenth century, this study will aim to show that this fiction of Spanish Domingo Gonsales on your trip to the moon, in his passage by the fictional island of Santa Helena and China populated by Jesuits, debating the theories of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Gilbert in the field of astronomy, sought a defense and protection of the Anglican Church and the Tudor monarchy that allied the Church to the State and favored the economy. Through disciplined and innovative example of the Jesuit mission in China in the early seventeenth century, Godwin will bring and warn the confused kings, that the output for the English internal and external conflicts was the investment in science, commerce, and now different from the Jesuits, in opposition to Spain and the Catholic medieval mentality and obsolete policyMestradoHistoria e Historiografia LiterariaMestra em Teoria e História Literári

    Variations on the Author

    “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
