A dialética do amor em pigmaleão, de G. B. Shaw.

Pygmalion (1913), by George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), has many studies in literary criticism. However, this study brings a new interpretation to Shaw s play based on Harold Bloom s theory and methodology, that is, the anxiety of influence and the dialectic of revisionism. Through the analysis of poetic influence and the dialectic of love, we can see that Pygmalion represents an apophrades in relation to William Shakespeare s The Taming of the Shrew (1593) and Ovid s myth of Pygmalion and Galatea in Metamorphosis (c. 14), which creates a family romance between the three stories. Shaw s play surpasses The Taming of the Shrew when it shows the possibility of the relation between this parent poem and Ovid s myth, which it is also its parent poem, and because it represents a strong misreading of Shakespeare s play as well as of Ovid s myth.

Performances da escrita

Este artigo aponta as características de uma escrita performática a partir do cruzamento entre o discurso ficcional, o discurso filosófico e o discurso crítico como formas equivalentes de experiência. Busca-se compreender os diferentes contextos em que a performance, como campo de experimentação, invade a área dos estudos literários, produzindo efeitos de deslocamento do cânone e seus modos de legitimidade, bem como visa a problematizar os lugares determinados do emissor e do receptor do texto; do artista, do filósofo e do crítico
