Two writers created by Graciliano Ramos

ABSTRACT This text consists of a study of the characters JoãoValério, from Caetés (published in 1933), and Paulo Honório, from S. Bernardo (published in 1934). The focus on these two characters created by Graciliano Ramos is justified by the fact that, even when it comes to men that in many aspects are different from each other, they are similar in the act of writing, activity that also makes them close to their creator. The considerations here presented lead to the interpretation that, for the two men in question, the act of writing is marked, ultimately, as activity of self-consciousness and recognition. KEYWORDS: João Valério; Paulo Honório; Writing.

A ESCRITA DA HISTÓRIA DA LITERATURA DA AMÉRICA LATINA COMO SINTOMA DO PROCESSO DE DECOLONIZAÇÃO

RESUMO: Este trabalho tem como objetivo questionar a plausibilidade de se analisar o movimento de escrita da história da literatura da América Latina, a partir de textos de Pedro Ureña, Ángel Rama, Ana Pizarro e Zulma Palermo, como sintoma do processo de decolonização, conforme o conceito de sintoma proposto por Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. Gumbrecht (1996) adota um conceito histórico de literatura, vista como parte constitutiva de uma história das mentalidades, sendo esta uma disciplina integradora de todas as ciências históricas setoriais, como é o caso da história da literatura. Essa visão estabelece que textos são objetivações da ação e do comportamento humano passados capazes de fornecer uma representação mimética destes, constituindo oportunidades específicas para o conhecimento das mentalidades; assim, os textos podem dar-se ao conhecimento dessas mentalidades como representação, signo ou sintoma. Os textos literários são tidos como situações de comunicação especiais, já que apresentam uma marca mais ou menos intencional. Mas, além disso, a literatura constitui um campo privilegiado para a representação de situações pré-conscientes de necessidades, ou seja, de sintomas da história das mentalidades. A partir disso, tentaremos demonstrar em que medida o movimento de escrita da história da literatura da América Latina expressa um sintoma de mudança de mentalidade, enquanto passagem de uma perspectiva da literatura colonialista ou europeizante a uma perspectiva independente ou latino-americana. Nesse contexto, a opção decolonial de Walter Mignolo (2005) se apresenta como importante contribuição para se pensar na contemporaneidade a escrita história da literatura latino americana numa perspectiva independente.

THE FEMINIST COMMITMENT IN THE WORK OF LUCIA EXTEBARRÍA

The author Lucía Etxebarría is in the fourth generation of "female voice" of Spanish literature of the post- war, as has pointed Alchazidu (2001), has as her main theme the women’s representation and reflection about their role in society. In the work of Lucía has, according to Fernández (2001), a feminist commitment that appears through the authorial voice, in the first-person narration and in the dialogues between characters. Besides this commitment to feminism, we can perceive common purposes with Queer Theory, thus, this paper aims to demonstrate commonalities between the work of LucíaEtxebarría and Queer Theory. For this we analyze two novels: Amor, prozac, curiosidad y dudas e Beatriz y los cuerposcelestes, and the storybook: Nosotrasque no somoscomolasdemás. We conclude the main objective of the Lucia’s work and Queer Theory are misplaced,outsiders, abnormal subject that do not adapt themselves to existing identities in society and look for identities in the margins. Furthermore, the author criticizes the standards of female and male, emphasizes sexuality as historical, cultural and social construction andalsogives your characters androgynous appearances to destabilize the body as "truth" of being.

The educational role of literature

This article discusses the educational role of literature, looking for parallels between the theories of Plato (428/427–348/347 a.C.), Aristotle (384–322 a.C.), Antonio Candido (1918), Hans Robert Jaus (1921–1997) and Umberto Eco (1932). It ultimately sees the educational role as a synthesis of roles ascribed to literature from classical Antiquity to the present, since ultimately they converge towards the same point, viz. human education on the basis of the multiple elements that make up the aesthetic object.

GERMAN VS BRAZILIANS IN NO TEMPO DAS TANGERINAS: THE IDENTITY IN QUESTION

O presente trabalho visa analisar a constituição da identidade e diferença no contexto da representação da imigração alemã em Santa Catarina no romance No tempo das tangerinas (1983), de Urda A. Klueger. O trabalho apresenta, inicialmente, alguns apontamentos teóricos sobre o assunto em questão, com base, principalmente, no pensamento de pesquisadores dos Estudos Culturais: Tomaz Tadeu da Silva, Kathryn Woodward e Stuart Hall. Segue-se a análise do romance, na qual se evidencia como, no contexto de uma comunidade de imigrantes alemães, as diferenças se constituem tanto através da comparação entre indivíduos pertencentes à própria comunidade imigrante, como com respeito aos não alemães com quem estes entram em contato. Diferenças existem, e são necessárias para a constituição identitária dos sujeitos; ressalta-se a capacidade de lidar com essas diferenças e as relações de poder que instauram e motivam a hierarquização entre um indivíduo ou comunidade e seus outros.

ROBERTO SCHWARZ E O POBRE NA LITERATURA BRASILEIRA

RESUMO: Apesar da péssima distribuição de renda do Brasil e das diversasRESUMO:representações literárias sobre o tema, na crítica literária brasileira não hámuitos estudos marxistas, muito menos sobre a pobreza ou o pobre. Issonão impede que um dos mais importantes críticos literários do país, RobertoSchwarz, trabalhe com o materialismo e o conceito marxista de classe soci-al, estudando especialmente o pobre na literatura brasileira. O crítico, queteve como mestre Antônio Cândido e recorre a sua dialética a todo momen-to, trabalha com o conceito marxista de classe social desde seu primeiroensaio sobre Machado de Assis, Ao vencedor as batatas, publicado em1977. Em 1983, já num período de redemocratização política no Brasil,Schwarz organiza uma antologia titulada Os pobres na literatura brasileira,onde consta um ensaio seu sobre a personagem Dona Plácida como repre-sentação típica da pobreza social na literatura. Este ensaio será retomadoem Um mestre na periferia do capitalismo, de 1990, continuação do estudomachadiano. É neste estudo, em que há um capítulo especialmente dedica-do aos pobres, que Schwarz propõe que a viravolta machadiana da primei-ra para a segunda fase de seus romances é de ordem ideológica, mais doque técnica. Mais tarde, em 1997, o crítico ainda se envolve com a produ-ção do romance Cidade de Deus, onde os protagonistas são todos pobres eao qual o crítico saúda como um “acontecimento”. Sua obra, dessa forma,é uma clara evidência de que se pode, sim, estudar a relação entre literaturae sociedade a partir da prosa brasileira.

Dialogism between the Brothers Grimm and Chico Buarque: revisiting classic children's stories

The act of narrating stories and recreate the world of fantasy, as well as discuss the human condition, are essential dimensions of the stories for the infant universe. Reading, analysis and production of children's stories in educational settings assist in the cognitive, social and emotional development of children-readers. Therefore, the dialogic and interactive approach of texts has been the subject of several debates in literary studies, linguistic and, in general, in education. From the foregoing, I discuss initially concepts linked to the dialogic conception of language from the theoretical postulates of Mikhail Bakhtin (1997) and students of Bakhtinian perspective in the national context (FARACO, 2001; BRAIT, 2005). Like this, the objective of this research is to propose a dialogue between children's narratives “The Musicians of Bremen” (1812) of the Brothers Grimm and “The Mummers” Chico Buarque (1977). In this sense, I present a contextualized approach these stories, trying to rescue the origin of fairy tales and its consolidation in the medieval context. The methodology consists of a qualitative approach, from theme analysis of tnarrativas. ale and fable - objects of this study - seeking to highlight the similarities and differences as well as the social representations, political and cultural present in these narratives.

Black women's writing: contributions to the literary, feminist and gender studies.

This work is a reflection on black women’s writing, which has been and yet, sometimes, is marginalized and reduced to invisibly in our literary field due to several factors . Therefore, it becomes important to give visibility to this writing so as to discuss the marks of feminism, race and gender that it brings, showing its contributions for the construction of a new and empowered discourse on black women, which represents a differential for literary discourse and affects the canon, since it t promotes the construction of a new perspective, a differentiated representation of black women, emphasizing their forms of struggle and resistance, front the exclusionary sociocultural systems.  In order to do that, I bring up some theoretical voices such as that, of Guacira Lopes Louro (1997); Abdias do Nascimento (2000); Tatau Godinho (2008), among others that deal with the theme, as well as texts written by  black women writers such as Alzira Rufino, Esmeralda Ribeiro e Cristiane Sobral to argue and think about a literature that deals with black women autonomy,  and challenges the dominant power systems, a literature that gives emphasis to women and ethnic-racial issues from perspective of the black person herself , since this project was relegated to oblivion for too long or portrayed in as stereotyped way by other voices, other discourses guided by a masculine and eurocentric bias. In this way, we hope to show how it is relevant to black women's literature, because makes us reflect and face the mechanisms of oppression, subalternization against women, especially black women, and race and gender prejudice, and its effects, that still can be seen daily in different social and cultural contexts.

VOZ POÉTICA FEMININA NA ERA BLOG: "OS CASOS DA MARIA CLARA"

ABSTRACT: This article talks about the female contemporary poetry, specifically in the era of blogs. It explores the idea that female poetry, in the contemporary production, surpasses the value of phallocentric tradition and religious mysticism that previously contributed to suffocate voices, referring women, as for their practices of reading and writing, the expansion of a silent poetry.
