Vias oblíquas da trasncendência: aspectos do idealismo em Augusto dos Anjos e Pedro Kilkerry

This essay analyzes the manifestations of the idealism of romantic orientation in the poetry of Augusto dos Anjos and Pedro Kilkerry, showing the points of contact between their oeuvres and demonstrating that many of the innovative aesthetic procedures of their poetry appear as a reaction to urgencies of an idealistic conception of poetry. Augusto dos Anjos and Pedro Kilkerry attest the anxiety of apprehension of connections with a super-sensible sphere in phenomenal reality. Although this takes a different form in each of the poets, it can refer to a common poetic ideal that transcends the concrete reality. To accomplish this, they use aesthetic procedures that modernize the language of the romantic sublime – Augusto dos Anjos uses a hybrid philosophical repertoire that marks his poetry with a tense and innovative prosaic language, and Pedro Kilkerry opts for the indirect representation, made by an evocative and metonymic language, that evidences the mystery of the transcendent ideal without deciphering it.

Os rapazes da Rua Panisperna e os centomila Majorana: os fatos e as versões literária e audiovisual

While a certain novel ponders about the traces left by Ettore Majorana and expounds some theories about the fate of the character mysteriously disappeared, a movie by Gianni Amelio also inspirited by facts goes through another path, of the story of Via Panisperna boys, stressing the enigmatic figure of Ettore Majorana and the exciting episodes surrounding some of the greatest physicists of the world. When Leonardo Sciascia publishes the novel in which he uses the actual fact of Ettore Majorana’s disappearance in order to create what he calls a “philosophical novel of mystery”, the public had already probably forgotten the intriguing events of 1938: the young and bright physicist disappeared, by all accounts, voluntarily, without leaving proofs of his death or reliable evidence of his whereabouts. In 1972, Sciascia learns about mysterious clues by means of Erasmo Recami and considers the motives that could have made Majorana leave Italy and later abandon his life almost in the mode fictionalized by Pirandello.

A Sancta Sapientia Medieval: enigma e mistério no teatro cristão de Rosvita de Ganderseheim

Within the scope of Literary Studies, theory, criticism, and historiography about the literature produced in the Middle Ages developed considerably from 1940 on, with the works of Ernst Curtius, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Erich Auerbach. In spite of the progress made, some specific aspects remain in the shadow, with incursions which were punctual though meaningful: that is the case of the critic fortunes about women‟s literary production in that period. Rosvita was a canoness and lived in the Benedictine convent of Gandersheim (Germany), in the 10th century A.D. Coming under Terence‟s influence, she wrote theater plays in Latin in which she figuratively presented theological issues in order to spread the Christian doctrine. The martyrdom issue deserved to be put in relief and was the focal point of the play Wisdom, which took place at the time of the Roman emperor Adrian. This paper analyzes that dramatic text discussing, at the end, how the categories of symbol, enigma, allegory, and mystery are organized by the author as expressive resources and structural elements.
