A composição do estilo do contista Machado de Assis
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2007Esta tese discute a percepção, ainda vigente em parte da crítica literária, de que a obra de Machado de Assis é cindida em duas partes, como se fosse possível a um autor ter dois estilos distintos. Amparada na revisão da fortuna crítica machadiana e com o método da estatística textual mediante a utilização do programa Hyperbase, compara bases de dados formadas pelo conjunto de contos de Machado, cotejando-os com os romances do autor e a base Portext. A análise exploratória dos dados permite descrever a anatomia do material que compõe o conto machadiano, enquanto as funções estatísticas viabilizam a busca de padrões e transformações no léxico e na distribuição do texto. Os resultados da análise qualitativa, ao indicarem que há poucas variações de classe gramatical e de vocabulário no material, contrapõem-se à ideia de ruptura estilística e reforçam a hipótese de que a transformação do estilo de Machado de Assis no conto é gradual e encontra-se fundamentalmente não no material linguístico, mas na composição

ESTILOS: ENTRE MACHADO E SEUS RECRIADORES
No full textA partir do conto O cônego ou metafísica do estilo, de Machado de Assis,
a presente dissertação propõe um traçado teórico em torno dos conceitos de estilo
e de escrita, investigando em que medida o primeiro, se pensado à luz de outra
base epistemológica que não a tradicional, é absorvido pelo segundo. Para tanto,
observa-se como os conceitos em questão se comportam no interior da obra de
Roland Barthes em contraponto com algumas formulações conceituais de
contemporâneos desse teórico. O recurso ao pensamento barthesiano tem como
objetivo principal, no entanto, ressaltar a preocupação de Machado de Assis com a
escrita; preocupação essa presente, enquanto dobra teórica, em suas narrativas –
espaço ficcional onde se pode rastrear o diálogo constante do romancista com a
filosofia. Perseguindo essas referências fundamentais do fazer literário, passa-se,
por fim, à discussão crítica da prática escritural à qual se lançaram alguns autores
contemporâneos: recriar contos escolhidos do autor fluminense.Drawing from the short story The Priest or the Metaphysics of Style, by
Machado de Assis, this dissertation proposes to follow a theoretical trajectory of
concepts and styles of writing, investigating to what extent one, using this as
another base of epistemology that s unorthodox, is absorbed by another. Such that
we observe how the concepts in question operate in the work of Roland Barthes as
counterpoint to some conceptual formulations of contemporaries in this school of
thought. Meanwhile, Barthesian thought has as its principal tenet to reinvigorate
the Machado de Assis preoccupation with the act of writing; the preoccupation is
present, folded into the writing, in his stories – there is a fictional space where he
can explore the eternal debate between a novelist and philosopher. Following
these fundamental references to the literary craft, in the end, a critical discussion
occurs on the practice of writing, from which some contemporary writers were
spawned: thus they began recreating tales of the Carioca author
Memorial de Aires, sobrevivências em tradução
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2015.Memorial de Aires (1908), último romance de Machado de Assis, passou inadvertido por décadas como obra traduzível em várias línguas. Durante anos foi lido como sintoma da reconciliação de seu autor com a vida, sendo identificados em seu protagonista os traços mais característicos de sua maturidade. Posteriormente, foi objeto de uma leitura concentrada na relação entre ficção e história, caracterizada pela identificação e corroboração de fatos acontecidos no Brasil, na transição do Segundo Império à República. Sob essas duas vertentes de leitura, o romance foi valorizado em suas possibilidades de representação de uma determinada realidade, isto é, como testemunho, sendo assim desconsiderada sua potência como texto ficcional.No universo hispanofalante, o romance permaneceu ausente até 2001, ano em que saíram à luz três traduções, realizadas no México, na Espanha e na Argentina, respectivamente. Elas, ainda que elaboradas sob diferentes iniciativas e políticas de tradução, revelam-se, de maneiras diversas, herdeiras da leitura de corroboração que caracterizou a interpretação do romance.Esta tese, cujo objetivo fundamental é a apresentação de uma nova tradução do romance em formato bilíngue, propõe uma reflexão acerca da sobrevivência de Memorial de Aires, por meio da análise de sua fortuna crítica e das três traduções para o espanhol publicadas em 2001. Inclui, além dessa reflexão, que constitui um estágio fundamental para a análise das circunstâncias particulares da tradução aqui apresentada, uma abordagem do romance que se concentra nas características da escrita do protagonista-narrador e nas implicações da escolha do diário como tipo textual, como indícios de Memorial de Aires ser a realização mais sofisticada do artifício ficcional ensaiado antes por Machado de Assis em Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (1880) e Dom Casmurro (1899).Abstract : Memorial Aires (1908) last novel by Machado de Assis, went unnoticed for decades as a translatable work into any languages. For years, it was read as a symptom of reconciliation of its author with life, identifying in its main character the most characteristic features of Machado?s maturity. Later on, it was the subject of a reading focusing on the relationship between fiction and history, aiming at identifying and corroborating in the text with the events that took place in Brazil in the transition from the Second Empire to the Republic. Under these two trends in its reading, the novel was appreciated in its possibilities of representation of a given reality, that is, as a witness, so disregarded its power as fictional text.In Spanish-speaking universe, the novel remained inexistent until 2001, when three translations appeared in Mexico, Spain and Argentina, respectively. Developed under different initiatives and translation politics, these three translations seem to inherit, although in various ways, the corroborating reading that has characterized the interpretation of the novel.This thesis, whose main purpose is the presentation of a new translation of the novel in a bilingual format, proposes a reflection on the Memorial de Aires?s survival, through the analysis of its literary criticism and of the three translations into Spanish published in 2001. This reflection is a fundamental stage for the analysis of the particular circumstances of the translation proposed. Furthermore, this thesis offers an approach of the novel that focuses on the writing features of the protagonist-narrator and the implications of the choice of the diary as textual type. As a result, Memorial de Aires proves to be the most sophisticated realization of a fictional device developed by Machado de Assis, a mechanism already experimented in Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (1880) and Dom Casmurro (1899)

Andre Gide and the Negro, 1940
No full textBecause it is generally known that Andre Gide is one of France's most influential contemporary writers, there is no need to justify a study based on his works. Desirous of obtaining the opinion of an influential white author concerning Negroid people and learning his activities in their behalf, the writer of this thesis undertook the study, Andre Gide end the Negro. The value of such a study to the American Negro lies primarily in (1) a better acquaintance with and appreciation for one whose interest in darker people has resulted in a tangible contribution; (2) a knowledge of the condition of a people, who, though distant in territory, are kindred in race, and (3) a challenge for scholastic accomplishment. The method of procedure was a careful analysis of Voyage au Congo and Retour du Tchad supplemented by collateral readings. To secure information concerning Mr. Gide's official investigation in 1938 of the natives' educational facilities in Senegal, a letter was sent him. Despite the anxiety which must be his because of the present war in which his country is involved, the eminent author found time to respond. His reply is quoted on page thirty-one of this study. Grateful acknowledgment is hereby given both Mr. Gide for his amicable letter and Professor Cook, who made such a contact possible. The various factors for the evolution of Gide's interest in Negroid people are shown in Chapter I. Chapter II contains a discussion of the colonial abuses existing in French Equatorial Africa exposed by Gide and his efforts to eradicate these. Through Chapter III one learns the author's personal impression of the morale and intelligence of Negroid people. In Chapter IV an interpretation of Gide's literary art in Voyage au Gang and Retour du Tchad is presented. The results are summarized in the conclusion

Andre Gide: a study of the relationship between the author and his characters
No full textAndre Paul Guillame Gide was a controversial French writer. Some critics claimed he never wrote about anyone but himself; others denied that he used himself as a model for any but his first works. This paper is the result of a study to determine to what extent the characters of Andre Gide are autobiographical. The novel and novelle of Gide were chosen as a basis for this study because their characters are definite and their situations relatively clear. Each major character in these works was analyzed and his characteristics and actions noted in detail. Then a study was made of the author by reading his own autobiographical works and many biographies and studies of Gide. The characteristics and actions of Andre Gide were analyzed and noted. With the personalities of the author and his characters broken down into habits, characteristics and actions and organized, each character was again observed and his traits and attitudes matched with those of the author whenever this was possible. To avoid a confused jumble of characters, one book with its characters was studied at a time. [...]English, Department o

Development, Implementation, and Industry Reception of a Novel Multi-source, Data-driven Building Energy Management Toolkit
No full textInefficient and uninformed operations negatively impact building energy performance, leading to wide disparities between predicted and actual energy use in commercial and institutional buildings. Though ample research in data-driven building operations analytics has derived various methodologies for extracting energy-saving insights that can inform best practices, these approaches have traditionally remained disparate, and are mostly inaccessible to operations personnel who can benefit from these approaches in augmenting their duties and optimizing building energy efficiency. This research explores the development, implementation, and industry reception of a novel multi-source, data-driven building energy management toolkit as a synthesis of established data-driven approaches in the literature. Energy-saving insights identified from over five separate case study buildings demonstrated the toolkit's multifaceted application to identify operational deficiencies, and interviews with building operators and facility managers regarding the toolkit's outputs were conducted to identify possible barriers which may inhibit operations professionals from effectively deriving and utilizing data-driven insights
