A estética da cidadania em relato de um certo oriente de Milton Hatoum

A Cidadania, tal como a entendemos hoje, é um conceito e uma prática extremamente recentes na história da humanidade. Fundamentado na noção do comparatista Edward Said (1995) de que a Literatura Comparada procura ver, em conjunto e em contraponto, várias culturas, literaturas e áreas do conhecimento, o presente estudo explora e desenvolve o conceito estabelecido pela autora deste trabalho de “Estética da Cidadania” moderna em oposição à Estética da Cidadania tradicional aristotélica. O conceito de Estética da Cidadania é analisado, no romance Relato de um certo Oriente, do escritor brasileiro, nascido em Manaus, Milton Hatoum (2003). O termo “estética” está relacionado à condição literária do texto, enquanto que o termo “cidadania” expressa uma preocupação ética, própria ao domínio filosófico. Assim, Literatura e Filosofia não se confundem, mas relacioná-las pode ser útil para ampliar a compreensão de ambas. A relação entre as duas áreas se dá através do exame da voz e dos comportamentos dos personagens da narrativa, onde é possível desenvolver e exemplificar o conceito de Cidadania Moderna. O conceito de “moderno” está aqui empregado no sentido de Charles Taylor (1997). Através da análise das concepções morais dos personagens centrais e da ética própria aos grupos aos quais eles pertencem é possível exemplificar a manifestação dos princípios éticos que permitem o exercício da Cidadania, preconizados por John Rawls (2000). Estes princípios são também os três objetivos da Filosofia Política, a saber: reduzir as diferenças morais e filosóficas, compatibilizar os planos de vida e estabilizar o esquema de cooperação.

Milton a poem in 2 books: influência e afluência na linguagem poético-visual de William Blake

Sob a influência de seu predecessor mais forte, John Milton, o poeta, pintor e gravurista William Blake reage a essa influência incorporando-a dinamicamente à sua poesia. Porém, a reação à influência poética é mais abrangente que a incorporação do Paradise Lost, de John Milton, ao seu poema Milton: a Poem in Two Books e conduz o autor a criar uma linguagem poética na qual as referências extratextuais verbais e visuais são transferidas, por meio de metalinguagem, para o interior do próprio poema. Sem referências claras para ajudá-lo, o leitor é induzido a criar suas referências subjetivas e dar sentido ao texto, transformando-se, assim, de leitor passivo, em leitor/criador ativo. Palavras-chave: William Blake; iluminuras; John Milton; influência; reação; sistema verbal/visual.

Predestination and freedom in Milton's 'Paradise lost'

John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost (1667) offers a highly creative seventeenth-century reconstruction of the doctrine of predestination, a reconstruction which both anticipates modern theological developments and sheds important light on the history of predestinarian thought. Moving beyond the framework of post-Reformation controversies, the poem emphasises both the freedom and the universality of electing grace, and the eternally decisive role of human freedom in salvation. The poem erases the distinction between an eternal election of some human beings and an eternal rejection of others, portraying reprobation instead as the temporal self-condemnation of those who wilfully reject their own election and so exclude themselves from salvation. While election is grounded in the gracious will of God, reprobation is thus grounded in the fluid sphere of human decision. Highlighting this sphere of human decision, the poem depicts the freedom of human beings to actualise the future as itself the object of divine predestination. While presenting its own unique vision of predestination, Paradise Lost thus moves towards the influential and distinctively modern formulations of later thinkers like Schleiermacher and Barth.

Alienated Selfhood and Heroism: A Poststructuralist Reading of John le Carré’s Spy Fiction Novels

John le Carré’s novels “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold” (1963), “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” (1974), and “The Tailor of Panama” (1997), focus on how the main characters reflect the somber reality of working in the British intelligence service. Through a broad post-structuralist analysis, I will identify the dichotomies - good/evil in “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold,” past/future in “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy,” and institution/individual in “The Tailor of Panama” - that frame the role of the protagonists. Each character is defined by his ambiguity and swinging moral compass, transforming him into a hybrid creation of morality and adaptability during transitional time periods in history, mainly during the Cold War. Le Carré’s novels reject the notion of spies standing above a group being celebrated. Instead, he portrays spies as characters who trade off individualism and social belonging for a false sense of heroism, loneliness, and even death.

Commentary on Milton's Contract 1667

The contract between the poet John Milton and the stationer Samuel Simmons, concerning the publication of Paradise Lost, is the earliest agreement between an author and a publisher for which there exists documentary evidence. The commentary suggests that, while the terms of the contract do not necessarily reveal anything substantive about how authors in the mid-seventeenth century understood the nature of the rights they had in their manuscript work, it is nevertheless significant. Since the early eighteenth century, Milton, his work, and his contract with Simmons, were all co-opted, in a variety of ways, to service contemporary debates about the status of the author, about author-publisher relations, and about the nature of the relationship between an author and his work within the context of the emerging copyright regime.

John Frazer

John Frazer, Professor, trained at the Architectural Association, taught first at Cambridge University and then the AA in the 1970s and again in the '90s. He was Head of School of Design Research History and Criticism at the University of Ulster in the 1980s, he also ran a systems and design consultancy with his wife Julia (including projects for Cedric Price and Walter Segal) and was founder and chairman of Autographics software. He is currently Swire Chair Professor and Head of School of Design in Hong Kong.----- This is a very personal perspective on a concept of universal and future significance. It is personal, both is the sense that it is an unashamedly biased view of both the significance of the project, and the nature of that significance and because the author was personally involved as one of the consultants on GENERATOR and subsequently involved Cedric Price in its educational application at the Architectural Association. GENERATOR is still very much alive and was still developing whilst this chapter was being written.
