Experimentalismo e transgressão na Grammatica portugueza pelo methodo confuso de Mendes Fradique
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2009.A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo mostrar em que medida o autor Mendes Fradique, em sua obra Grammatica portugueza pelo methodo confuso, transita livremente pelo cômico, pelo nonsense e pelo experimentalismo, revelando significativa independência em relação aos movimentos literários organizados, além de antecipar formas de expressão literária que se tornariam comuns décadas após o lançamento do seu método confuso. Concomitantemente, procuraremos mostrar que a obra em questão é essencialmente crítica, tendo como pano de fundo a transgressão dos cânones literários e da própria gramática, além de problematizar as relações de poder subjacentes à linguagem. A partir da análise dessas questões, tentaremos conferir maior importância à obra de Mendes Fradique no contexto literário. Além disso, esta pesquisa poderá servir para ampliar os estudos nessa área do humor, bem como resgatar contribuições valiosas e inovadoras de um autor pouco (re)conhecido, cuja produção poderia ter chegado até nossos dias de forma menos obscura e marginal.The present research aims at showing to what extent the author Mendes Fradique, in his work called Grammatica portugueza pelo methodo confuso, strolls freely by humor, nonsense and experimentalism, revealing a significant independence in relation to the organized literary movements, besides anticipating forms of literary expression which would become common decades after the release of his confused method. Simultaneously, we will try to show that the work in analysis is essentially critical, having as its background the transgression of the literary canons and the grammar itself, besides questioning the power relations present in language. From the analysis of these problems, we will try to confer more importance to Fradiques work within the literary context. Moreover, this research may be useful to widen the studies in the area of humor, as well as to recover important and innovative contributions of a lesser known author, whose production could have arrived to the present days in a less obscure and marginal way
Salman Rushdie in the Cultural Marketplace
No full textTaking up the roles that Salman Rushdie himself has assumed as a cultural broker, gatekeeper, and mediator in various spheres of public production, Ana Cristina Mendes situates his work in terms of the contemporary production, circulation, and consumption of postcolonial texts within the workings of the cultural industries. Mendes pays particular attention to Rushdie as a public performer across various creative platforms, not only as a novelist and short story writer, but also as a public intellectual, reviewer, and film critic. Mendes argues that how a postcolonial author becomes personally and professionally enmeshed in the dealings of the cultural industries is of particular relevance at a time when the market is strictly regulated by a few multinational corporations. She contends that marginality should not be construed exclusively as a basis for understanding Rushdie’s work, since a critical grounding in marginality will predictably involve a reproduction of the traditional postcolonial binaries of oppressor/oppressed and colonizer/colonized that the writer subverts. Rather, she seeks to expand existing interpretations of Rushdie’s work, itineraries, and frameworks in order to take into account the actual conditions of postcolonial cultural production and circulation within a marketplace that is global in both orientation and effects.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Fradique Mendes, o “algo nuevo que mirar” // Fradique Mendes, the "algo nuevo que mirar"
No full textCarlos Fradique Mendes is a fictional character whose journey very much follows that of Eça
de Queirós’ during various moments of his career between 1869 and 1900. The Correspondence of
Fradique Mendes is the result of this mirroring. Although it has not been published as a book by the
author, it nonetheless offers a way of understanding the world that dominated the late nineteenth
century. The article seeks to demonstrate how Eça used Fradique to lay out his expectations for the
century that was about to begin

The Alfred H. Mendes – Malcolm Lowry Connection
No full textA brief friendship kindled in 1930s New York between the Trinidadian novelist and short-story writer of Portuguese Creole ancestry, Alfred Hubert Mendes (1897-1991), and the late-modernist English author, Malcolm Lowry (1909-1957), forged a personal and literary camaraderie, revealing significant rapport reflected in the intersection of their lives. Certain important, mutually-enabling parallels between their experiences, political affinities, and literary influences can assist us in making better sense of their relationship. Though Mendes was shaped by adventures in Britain and the United States, his writings were rooted in the concerns of everyday existence and in the cultural traditions of his native island of Trinidad. His realist short stories - and novels like Pitch Lake (1934) and Black Fauns (1935) - helped pioneer West Indian literature and attracted praise from Aldous Huxley. Lowry was inspired by visits to the Far East (1927), Germany (1928), Norway (1931), France (1932), Spain (1933–34), the United States (1934–36), and Mexico (1936-38 and 1945-47) where his masterpiece, Under the Volcano (1947), was set. These countries exerted a long-lasting impression on his literary imagination, which encompassed a kaleidoscopic range of influences from East and West, including esotericism. It was his trajectory towards the New World which was conducive to his acquaintance with Mendes in New York in 1936
Identidade e alteridade na Peregrinação de Fernão Mendes Pinto
No full textMestrado em Estudos PortuguesesO presente trabalho pretende apresentar uma análise da evolução
antropológica de Fernão Mendes Pinto aquando do seu contacto com a cultura
Oriental. É também nosso objectivo comprovar que a definição que o autor
tenta fazer do “Outro” oriental lhe vai permitir redescobrir a sua identidade.
O encontro de uma cultura nova permitiu ao homem de Quinhentos
iniciar o processo multicultural, e por conseguinte encetar o diálogo
intercultural. Na análise da Peregrinação tentaremos reflectir de que forma
Fernão Mendes Pinto foi influenciado por esse processo ao descrever o
“Outro” com o qual se encontrou, e em tantos aspectos tão diferente de si.
ABSTRACT: The present work intends to present an analysis of the anthropological
evolution of Fernão Mendes Pinto related to his contact with the oriental
culture. It is also our purpose to prove that through the definition that the author
tries to do of the “Other” he begins to rediscover his own identity.
The encounter with a new culture allowed the men of the 16h century
to begin the multicultural process, and consequently the intercultural dialogue.
In our analysis of the Peregrinação we will try to reflect about the way that
Fernão Mendes Pinto was influenced by the process of describing the “Other”,
with whom he contacted, and in so many ways so different from him
