The reception of W. Somerset Maugham's works
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Este trabalho objetiva estudar a posição do romancista inglês W. Somerset Maugham na literatura contemporânea de seu país. Se por um lado Maugham nunca foi definitivamente rotulado como um simples escritor de best-sellers, por outro lado nunca lhe foi atribuído o status de grande escritor. Ele se mantém numa espécie de posição ambígua na literatura inglesa. Reforçando essa situação há ainda o fato de que alguns de seus romances, embora tenham sido tão populares, na época de seu lançamento, quanto os modernos best-sellers têm experimentado uma duração que não é usual nesse tipo de literatura. Ao analisar a recepção crítica de seis de seus romances, um de cada fase de sua carreira literária, baseado em alguns princípios da estética da recepção de Hans Robert Jauss, nós identificamos os elementos que foram especialmente relevantes na definição do status literário de Maugham. Além disso, conforme ainda é previsto na teoria de Jauss, nós também apontamos algumas mudanças de interesse nos estudos literários que indicam um ressurgimento e possivelmente uma reavaliação da obra de Maugham no futuro

Reader and Writer: Poor Liza (1792) by Nikolay Karamzin and Notes from Underground (1864) by Fyodor Dostoevsky
No full textThe article analyses the image of homo legens in Poor Liza by Nikolay Karamzin and Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The novelist considers Karamzin’s short story as a part of the process of the knowledge of the human being in the 19th century. In contrast to positivist philosophical knowledge, which, according to Dostoevsky, simplifies the phenomenon of the person, the writer, with the help of Karamzin’s artistic discoveries in the short story Poor Liza, creates the image of the Underground Man as a person who both reads and writes. Typologically, the encounter of the dreamer with a girl in Notes from Underground repeats the situation in Poor Liza. Erast dreams of an idyll and “invents” his future life with Liza according to the laws of the genre, while the peasant woman, unlike the reading hero, understands that dreams cannot be realized. In Dostoevsky’s novella the situation is more complicated. Following literary models, the Underground Man creates two stories in an idyllic and anti-idyllic key, in order to manipulate the soul of another person and to affirm himself. At first, Liza does not believe the words of the visitor or the possibility of leaving the brothel. The Underground Man prefaces his stories with two biblical quotations: “the image and likeness of God” and “lay down your life for the sake of friends.” He introduces the sacred as a means of manipulation of the heroine’s feelings. Having identified these quotations, Liza sincerely believes in the possibility of leaving the brothel and offers her love to the dreamer, which the author sees as an opportunity for him to come out of “the underground.” The hero cannot accept this chance. By creating the image of homo legens in Notes from Underground Dostoevsky shows that a chaotic and blind adherence to literary genres, situations, and gestures together with the manipulation of both literary and sacred texts places man in a position of insoluble conflict with “living life.

Pomyśleć dewzrost, czyli dekapita(liza)cja kapitału
No full textThe aim of the article is to reflect on the degrowth strategy. Pointing out various difficulties, the author focuses on identifying the field that degrowth theories cannot ignore if they want to be effective: the dominant political economy. Following Marx's thought, the author argues that the mode of functioning of society adequate to the postulates of degrowth would have to be "narrowed reproduction." This is a difficult move because, in addition to the logic of accumulation, there is also the mechanism of alienation and our consumption habits to overcome. Only against this background can we look for examples of radical social change, the scale of which would meet the requirements of degrowth. According to the author, such an example may be the frequent abandonment of agriculture in the Neolithic era (Graeber, Wengrow). However, it is not about (impossible) repeating such a decision, but about the very ability to make it, as a cultural pattern. However, this means decapita(lisa)tion of capital. Celem artykułu jest namysł nad strategią dewzrostu. Wskazując rozmaite trudności, autor skupia się na wskazaniu pola, którego teorie dewzrostu nie mogą pomijać, jeśli chcą pretendować do skuteczności: to dominująca ekonomia polityczna. Podążając za myślą Marksa, autor argumentuje, że adekwatnym do postulatów dewzrostu trybem funkcjonowania społeczeństwa musiałaby być właściwie „reprodukcja zawężona”. To o tyle trudny ruch, że oprócz logiki akumulacji do przezwyciężenia jest także mechanizm alienacji oraz nasze konsumpcyjne nawyki. Dopiero na tym tle można szukać przykładów radykalnej, społecznej zmiany, której skala odpowiadałaby wymogom dewzrostu. Według autora przykładem takim może być częste w epoce neolitu odchodzenie od rolnictwa (Graeber, Wengrow). Nie chodzi tu jednak o (niemożliwe) powtórzenie takiej decyzji, a o samą zdolność do jej podjęcia. Oznacza to jednak dekapita(liza)cję kapitału.
