Iracema, de José de Alencar, e as Heroides, de Ovídio

Manuais de literatura ensinam que o Romantismo, centrado no eu romântico em seus conflitos e anseios libertários, rompe com os códigos clássicos da poética do Arcadismo. Em Iracema: a lenda do Ceará, Alencar narra a união da índia Iracema com Martim, o colonizador português que a fascina, e dessa união nasce Moacir, fruto da primeira miscigenação de povos em terras brasileiras. A matéria-prima que Alencar ficcionalizou tem, por um lado, o componente histórico, pois personagens como o guerreiro Martim e o índio Camarão estão registradas nos anais da história; por outro lado, a construção da heroína assenta-se em figuras femininas da mitologia grega. Essa dívida com a tradição clássica, intermediada pelo poeta latino Ovídio, o próprio José de Alencar a reconhece em carta-posfácio, onde confessa ter composto “uma heroida que tem por assunto as tradições dos indígenas brasileiros e seus costumes. (ALENCAR, 1978, p.88).

Análise do contexto histórico-social e das marcas deixadas no discurso pelo enunciador em diferentes versões do conto de fadas cinderela

Bettelheim (2007), analyzing the infant psyche concluded that for the child to gain self-esteem and develop a balanced sense of self, need to learn to take certain decisions on a daily basis, which will be facilitated by identifying their problems, designed in the stories that are told (or read). Thus, it could find solutions and feel safer. Based on the reading of fairy tales, we dealt with this research, the resumption of fairy tales in homes and schools, in order to help parents and teachers to get parameters to work thinking of their children and students, from such stories, awakening the taste of children by reading and text production. The proposal considered different versions of the fairy tale Cinderella, noting as the moralizing process the messages each approach, and explores the plot and determines which versions would be appropriate for the psycho-cognitive development of children. We also investigated aspects pertinent to the narrative structure, based on literary theory, in order to work in comparative literature. From the discourse analysis, sought to address the marks left by the utterer, capable of denoting its cargo and its ideological worldview projected in the story, although he re-create the history and environment on real facts of a particular period (MARTINS, 2007)

Do nobre ao patético: o herói de Victor Hugo e o anti-herói de Machado de Assis

This article analyses how Victor Hugo embodied his heroes and Machado de Assis his anti-heroes. Three Assis´s short stories and three Hugo´s novels are compared: “O caso da Vara” and the chapter “L‟affaire Champmathieu” from the book Les Misérables; “Noite de Almirante” and Les Travailleurs de la Mer; “Um incêndio” and Quatre-Vingt-Treize. These texts present similar situations, but each author shows an outcome that reveals their literary proposal. For this reason, Comparative Literature and Intertext had been used as base of reflection for this article.

A dialética da malandragem revisitada em O Xangô de Baker Street

Using the concept of influence, well explored by Sandra Nitrini (2000), the purpose of this study is to verify the characterization of the main characters of O Xangô de Baker Street (1995) and Macunaíma, o herói sem nenhum caráter (1928) – Sherlock Holmes and Macunaíma – as rogues in their novels, heirs to the Spanish picaresque, a genre that has taken on new meaning in Brazilian literature, as pointed out since the 1960s by Antonio Candido in his famous essay “Dialética da malandragem” (2010). With these theories, we analyze the composition of the tricksters, whose starting point is the question facing the country, the Brazilian. Although the distances in time and style of separating the protagonists created by Jô Soares and Mário de Andrade, we have noticed the interesting procedure of re-creation of the renowned English detective created by Arthur Conan Doyle and the reinterpretation of aspects of Brazilian folklore a convergence of interests with regard to representation of the national character.

A arte de recriar lendas e mitos: inrtextualidade e antropofagismo

Brazilian folklore is rich in legends that inhabit in the imaginary of people and are believed to have originated among Brazilian indigenous peoples and the Africans who were enslaved by Portuguese settlers. However, when those stories are compared with the legends of the Iberian Peninsula , one can notice that a lot of elements in the Brazilian legends clearly reflect, for example, aspects of the popular narratives from Galicia and Portugal, such as “The moors” and “Yara’s legend”; “O trasno” and “Saci pererê”. The objective of this paper is to analyze those cultural traces by means of Comparative Literary and Intertextuality analysis, by observing how the context , the ruling ideology, and both social and cultural aspects retake the stories that are known to a certain culture and readapt them according to the traditions of another, thus producing new discourse-texts with local characteristics.
