A espessura da existência humana: Perdas & Ganhos na obra de Lya Luft
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaO estudo enfoca a obra de Lya Luft, especialmente Perdas & Ganhos que causou controvérsias no meio literário por sua dificuldade de classificação. É mapeada a trajetória da escritora desde os seus primeiros escritos na década de 1970. Observa-se que a escritora retoma nos últimos anos os textos curtos # crônicas e ensaios - que também foram o começo de sua vida literária. As crônicas publicadas em revista semanal e as comunidades de fãs do sítio de relacionamentos da internet Orkut também são abordadas. Autores contemporâneos das áreas de literatura e ciências humanas subsidiam teoricamente o estudo para entender como o sucesso dos temas recorrentes e dos livros da escritora são parte do modus vivendi no atual estágio da sociedade capitalista. Com Perdas e Ganhos, Lya Luft deixou de ser reconhecida apenas pelo meio literário, para ser também referência do grande público no Brasil e até no exterior. A despeito disso, no entanto, a crítica que a havia consagrado pelos romances da década de 1980, passou a adotar uma postura de ressalva em relação a escritora, como se tornar-se uma campeã de vendas a desmerecessem. The research is about Lya Luft, especially her book Perdas e Ganhos, who has caused controversy in the Brazilian literature area due to the difficult of classification. We try to understand it, with the study of all the production of Lya Luft, since the first one in the 1970´s. We can see that the author goes back to the same kind of writing that she used in the beginning of her literature life: chronicle and essay. Therefore, we study also the chronicles that Luft is publishing in a Brazilian magazine, and the communities made of Luft´s fans in the relationship site of the Internet, the Orkut. Current names in the literature and human science gave the theoretical instrument to understand how the success of the themes and the books are part of the same modus vivendi of this moment in the life of the society. With the successful of Perdas e Ganhos, Lya Luft are recognition not only by the literature community, but, by the big public in Brazil and other countries too. On the other hand, however, the critics who had applauded her novels in the 1980#s started to have a wondering about the author, because if she is a best seller, she couldn´t be a good writer
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Três espelhos do absurdo : a condição humana em As meninas de Lygia Fagundes Telles
No full textEsta dissertação pretende uma breve análise da posição que as três personagens principais de As meninas, de Lygia Fagundes Telles, assumem no seu mundo ficcional. Pareceu-me que suas vidas tem forte componente de ilogicidade pois os seres humanos são limitados, impelidos e ameaçados por obscuras forças, e não encontram justificação para suas existências. Por isso, seguindo as trajetórias das "meninas", tentei captar suas características e reações, bem como provar certo determinismo que configura seus destinos. Finalmente, procurei tragar um pequeno paralelo entre Lygia Fagundes Telles e alguns dos maiores "autores do absurdo". Talvez esse procedimento nos leve a uma melhor compreensão do absurdo da condição humana, conforme no-lo apresenta esse romance.This dissertation intends to make a brief analysis of the position the three main characters of As meninas, from Lygia Fagundes Telles, assume in their fictional world. It seemed to me that their lives have a strong component of illogicity: they are limited, impelled and menaced by obscure forces, and find no justification for their existences. Therefore, following the trajectories of the "girls", trying to point out their characteristics and reactions, I made a tentative to prove certain determinism that configures their destinies. Finally, I tried to trace a small parallel between Lygia Fagundes Telles and some of the greatest "authors of the absurd". Perhaps this procedure could lead us to a better understanding of the absurdity of human condition in this novel
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
