Poetry and transcendence in the A Túnica Inconsútil, of Jorge de Lima

We intend to study this text as Jorge de Lima establishes the relationship between two distinct activities, poetry and religion, for the elaboration of the A Túnica Inconsútil. In our perspective, the effective union of these two perspectives will be accomplished through the technique of surrealist collage, which makes use of the combination of disparate elements, together with the exploitation of classic tops of literature, such as the trip and the island. Join this practice the metaphysical poet's ideological project, which aims to establish the "poetry in Christ".

"SÃO PAULO-SAMPA-SP": THE MULTIPLE FACES OF THE METROPOLIS

The city is a symbol of human sociability , meeting place and common life - and in this sense , their model is the Greek polis . But it is also a symbol of human diversity , in which masses of people live who do not know , do not recognize or even hostile to , and here the model is not the Greek city , but Babel. The perceptions of the city built in songs and literary texts are in agreement with the adjectives that easily come to mind when one thinks of São Paulo: bumpy, sprawling, dizzying. São Paulo does not provoke admiration, as elsewhere - at least not in the word admiration is benign and gentle . Causes astonishment, this feeling that overcomes the admiration in fright - a result of gigantism, the omnipresent sense of urgency, the unsettling awareness of being in an urban labyrinth that extends to infinity. This research aims to highlight that forms the largest Brazilian metropolis is described both in music and Brazilian literature , at which point it will be possible to establish directions for the different readings of urban space.

A INTERTEXTUALIDADE NOS CONTOS MISSA DO GALO, DE MACHADO DE ASSIS E NÉLIDA PIÑON

Este trabalho, sob a luz da intertextualidade e sua fortuna teórica, tenciona analisar de que forma a escritora carioca Nélida Piñon repete, modifica ou acrescenta dados em relação ao conto "Missa do Galo", produzido por Machado de Assis e editado em 1893. Após o transcurso de 71 anos em relação à publicação de um dos mais relevantes trabalhos que compõem a obra machadiana, Osman Lins e Julieta de Godoy Ladeira planejaramreescrever Missa do Galo, inspirados pelo aparecimento de versões derivadas das obras épicas de Homero e pelas retomadas temáticas impelidas na pintura e na música durante a década de 60. Treze anos depois, Nélida Piñon, Antonio Callado, Autran Dourado e Lygia Fagundes Telles aderem ao projeto literário concebido pelos dois autores. O resultado é a elaboração, em Missa do galo: variações sobre o mesmo tema, de seis primorosas propostas de aproximação do texto de Machado, estando os escritores cientes de que, segundo Osman Lins, por melhores que se houvessem nesse desafio, jamais conseguiriam superar o talento e a engenhosidade do criador de Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas.

THE PROTAGONISM OF THE METAFICTION IN BUFO & SPALLANZANI: AN ANALYSIS OF THE FIGURE OF THE NARRATOR

This article aims to analyze the book Bufo & Spallanzani (1985), of the Brazilian writer Ruben Fonseca, in order to observe how it approaches and/or departs from some characteristics attributed to the Detective Novel, particularly in light of Tzvetan Todorov's theory. For that, this reading turns to the study of the multifaceted figure of the narrator, who is, at the same time, writer and murderer. Therefore, it aims to clarify what are the implications, aesthetic and/or otherwise, of the voice given to the killer-writer, as well as what is the role of the detective in the condiction of a secondary character.

O diabo: um personagem multifacetado

RESUMO : Sabe-se que a menção a um ou mais personagens que exemplifiquem a representação do mal remonta a tempos antigos e transita pelos mitos de todos os povos. Toda cultura, de uma forma ou de outra, procurou personificar a maldade tanto quanto a bondade, dando-lhes face e personalidade. O Diabo constitui uma dessas feições do mal, talvez a mais conhecida de todas. Sua origem pode ser percebida na cultura judaico-cristã, todavia transpôs essa esfera, vindo mais tarde, ao final da Idade Média e início da Idade Moderna, a tornar-se parte integrante da cultura ocidental. Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar algumas das representações do Diabo na literatura, investigando de que forma são dadas diversas faces a um ser sem rosto, as origens dessas representações e de como a literatura brasileira apropriou-se dessa construção. Procura-se, ao longo do texto, estabelecerem-se algumas relações entre os autores e as maneiras como cada um deles desenvolve a figuração, evidenciando-se, dessa forma, os ecos existentes de um texto no outro. 

LITERATURE, THE PRESS AND THE INTERNET: AUTHORS, READERS AND THE DESIRE FOR INVISIBLE MEDIATION

In this text I examine recent changes in how literature is being produced and circulated in Brazil. These shifts can be related, among other factors, to the growing use of the internet as a way of divulging literary works and to the expansion of national literary life and narrative space. My examination sets out from Silviano Santiago’s analysis of the ‘deliteraturization’ movement in his historical account of the written press. Taking an opposite tack to this writer and critic, though, I look to explore the diverse forms of ‘serialization’ and ‘literaturization’ found among contemporary media such as the internet and television. As I aim to show, the migration of newspaper serials and literary works to web sites, blogs and social networks poses diverse questions and challenges to the critic, including the emergence of new figures of author and reader, accompanied by different forms of mediating and legitimizing literary works. These changes are also essential to understanding the profile of the new generation of literary supplements circulating in Brazil today.

Dislocated Subject and Otherness in Clarice Lispector's The Hour of the Star

This article refers to themes such as the displaced subject and the relationship with otherness in Clarice Lispector's The hour of the star (1977). Firstly, it will approach the issue of a deviant or dislocated subject according to a psychoanalytical perspective. The narrator Rodrigo S. M. puts himself in ther margins of his society and Macabéa is an excluded character par excellence. In addition to that, both are presented as off-centered subjects. Secondly, the relationship between the "I" and the "other" will be analyzed, especially concerning the conflictive relationship between Rodrigo S. M. and Macabéa in its ethical implications.

The antemorning paints

Our essay claims to analyze, in Carlos Drummond de Andrade’s poetry –mainly through the books Sentimento do mundo and A rosa do povo–, the importance of the artistic work with both the night image and the dawn one. By means of reading of the poem “Morte do leiteiro”, from A rosa do povo, we observe how this imagistic work is present in Drummond’s other texts and how, through this imagistic repetition, are discussed everyday and world themes that had been characterizing the 1940s, when Sentimento do mundo and A rosa do povo were published.

THE DOUBLE AND THE OTHERNESS IN “O CÍRCULO”, BY RUTH LAUS

This article aims to approach the issue of deployment of the self in the short story "O círculo", by Ruth Laus, through the figure of the character Paula and the pursuit of her double. The study of the female character, while literary representation, and related to the duplicity, is associated with issues related to identity and the construction of the self, from an internal scission, allowing therefore to examine the representation of the double, permeated by issues related to otherness, especially regarding to the maintenance of subjectivity in the search of the Other as an extension of the self. The double, in turn, is established as the phenomenon able to settle an active connection with the world, the dialectic condition of the creature, as a way of affirmation from the conception of (re)cognition of the Other as a link between past-present-future in the (re)construction of the unit and establishment of the balance. For the character Paula the element that indicates the division of her personality is the aborted fetus and thenceforth begins the maintenance of the inner Self of the protagonist: find what from her was split.
