Hemingway: ficionista e repórter

O artigo estuda um conto e uma crônica de Ernest Hemingway, textos sustentados por uma mesma fonte primária: o depoimento que um velho de perto de 76 anos deu ao Hemingway repórter, nas proximidades do rio Ebro, numa frente de combate da Guerra Civil Espanhola. O conto de 1938, “O velho na ponte”, constitui-se, assim, da mesma narrativa de fundação presente, primeiro, na reportagem, também de 1938, “O bombardeio de Tortosa”.

A Missa do galo na matriz e nas filiais

A prática intertextual posta em jogo na reescrita do conto Missa do Galo, de Machado de Assis, por fi ccionistas brasileiros revela não apenas a atualidade da narrativa machadiana como também aspectos de interesse para discutirmos as distintas concepções de escrita fi ccional a partir da matriz oferecida à leitura. É o que propomos realizar, acompanhando as variações sobre o mesmo tema modalizadas por Nélida Piñon, Lygia Fagundes Teles, Autran Dourado, Osman Lins, Julieta Ladeira e Antonio Callado, o que nos permitirá estabelecer inter-relações para comentarmos as confl uências e divergências entre os contos, a partir de procedimentos estruturais e imagens presentes nas narrativas.

A causa secreta, secretas causas: nuances da ironia machadiana

Nesta releitura de “A causa secreta”, conhecido conto de Machado de Assis, publicado no volume Várias histórias, em 1896, explorar-se-á a maneira como o autor, em um conto aparentemente sério, constrói uma narrativa permeada pela ironia, entendida aqui não em sua concepção mais restrita, como figura da inversão, mas como modo de construção textual que leva à refl exão sobre a natureza e a função da literatura, a par do enfoque crítico acerca da sociedade contemporânea ao momento da produção do texto e sobre a condição humana.

Contos de Machado de Assis publicados no Jornal das Famílias: a representação irônica das convenções da produção literária vinculada à imprensa periódica

Este trabalho pretende analisar o modo como as convenções da produção literária vinculada à imprensa periódica são trabalhadas no conto “Astúcias de marido”, de Machado de Assis (Jornal das Famílias out. e nov. 1866). Nesse conto, o narrador machadiano procura demonstrar, ironicamente, o quanto a sua história atende aos modelos literários, aos critérios de leveza e de moralidade, e à necessidade do corte sistemático – convenções estabelecidas pela direção do periódico. Assim, expondo a artificialidade da construção narrativa e combinando movimentos alternativos entre aderência (aparente) e oposição, pela via da ironia, aos padrões da produção jornalística e às preferências do público, o narrador machadiano dá início à experimentação de uma técnica narrativa inusitada na literatura brasileira: a volubilidade narrativa.

O mito como fonte de criação literária

Partindo da teoria de Ramnoux, de que o mito se prolifera em variantes romanescas quando não desempenha mais sua função organizadora na sociedade, consideramos o mito de Mélusine uma variação fragmentada e modificada do mito da mulher-animal das sociedades de caça e coleta. Mélusine parece ter inspirado o conto A dama pé-de-cabra de Alexandre Herculano, no qual pnvilegiou-se o maravilhoso cristão, por isso encontramos neste somente os aspectos demoníacos do personagem mítico, pois não se trata mais do mito, propriamente dito, que reflete o contexto social, cultural e temporal de um povo. Em decorrência desse raciocínio, consideramos A dama pé-de-cabra uma criação literária que representa uma inversão do mito inicial.

Tradução e adaptação de The Fall of the House of Usher: um estudo comparativo

The aim of this work is to analyze the short-story The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe, and two of its versions into Portuguese: A Queda da Casa de Uhser, a translation by Brenno Silveira, published in 1959 by Abril, and the adaptation by Clarice Lispector, with the same title, published in 1975 by Ediouro. The original short-story was first published in 1840, in Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque, translated into Portuguese as Histórias Extraordinárias. In this work, we will identify the differences between a translation and an adaptation, as well as the construction of the grotesque universe in those different texts. By means of a comparative analysis from the selected corpus, we will deploy the ways each one constructs the effect wanted by Poe, highlighting the main semantic and structural differences present in the translation and the adaptation of the short-story in relation with the original. Lastly, we will try to show the losses and gains of an adaptation

No resumo de um só dia: tempo e memória em O burrinho pedrês de Gumarães Rosa

Memory, the ability of keeping and remembering past states of consciousness and everything that could be associated with them, is one of the human properties responsible for the construction of experience, knowledge and preservation of individual’s identity. However, recalling is also the way we keep relationships with time, factor that is essential and inherent to our existence and responsible for the fact that we have memory. As for the narrative, as for life, time is a prime category, because it is in time that narrated or experienced events happen. This relationship between time and memory is remarkable in “O burrinho pedrês”, Guimarães Rosa’s short story present in his debut book, Sagarana. In this story, we can notice, generally, the characters use memory as a way to return to the past, evoking, consciously or unconsciously, the experience and its result, the wisdom, to help on the understanding of present situations. So, this research has as objective to analyze how time and memory relate and become indispensable to the development of the narrative and to the construction of the other categories - character, narrator and space. The theoretical foundation is based on studies clustered in three dimensions: a) theoretical essays about Guimarães Rosa’s work in general and the particular short story b) philosophical and/or psychological propositions about memory and time, and c) propositions about the mentioned categories of narrative

Duas fábulas de cidade: configurações do espaço urbano em Bernardo Carvalho e João Cabral de Melo Neto

The aim of this article is to present some considerations on the contemporary city figurativizations, from the reading of “O Arquiteto”, a Bernardo Carvalho’s short story, published in the anthology “Aberração” (2004). In this short story, the writer retakes the city theme following a modernity tradition, established, among others, by Poe and Baudelaire, making his voice embrace other Brazilian writers voices, that have represented the town, but, at the same time, recreating, in his scripture body, dense and intense, quick and, in some sense, agonic, the utopist projects of renascence ideal cities, questioning the utopias and the aesthetics traces which can be found on the nowadays texts. To enlarge the metalinguistic proposal that emerges from the analysis, some poems by João Cabral de Melo Neto are considered. This comparison allow us to establish parameters to think about influence in certain perspective of contemporary literature, which epicenter configures less the supremacy of the newty and more a aesthetic of deletions of the origins, tracks, traces, which are possible by the canon invention.

A Confluência de Gêneros em Dark Water, de Walter Salles Jr.

Dark Water is the title of the translation of a short story, ―Floating Water‖, from the book Honogurai mizu no soko kara by Koji Suzuki, originally published in Japan, that the Japanese director Hideo Nakata adapted for the cinema and that was remade by the Brazilian director Walter Salles Jr. The objective of this study is to analyse Walter Salles’ film to demonstrate how it resolved the problems of transcreation, whilst at the same time it fulfilled commercial and artistic functions and incorporated the traces of its aesthetic trajectory. In this case, attention is drawn to the types of relationship between literature and cinema, to the metalinguistic function as a generator of poetics and of an interesting dialogue between genres.

Edgar Allan Poe, Machado de Assis e Julio Cortázar: três visões do conto em conjunção

Based on the essay Kafka y sus precursores, by Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), the present essay looks for coinciding views from Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), Machado de Assis (1839-1908), and Julio Cortázar (1914-1984) on thatliterary genre. A possible connection between the three writers, regarded asmasters of the short story, is suggested having the Borgean essay as a startingpoint, while emphasizing the similarities of their views on what guides theartistic elaboration of the short stories. The confirmed relationship between Poeand Machado de Assis, and between Poe and Cortázar are emphasized, openinga door to the possibility of also thinking of a close relationship between Machadode Assis and Cortázar.Keywords:Short story; Compared Literature, Edgar Allan Poe, Jorge Luis Borges, JulioCortázar.
