Sons e imagens do rádio: A era do rádio

Radio Days de Woody Allen est un film de mémoire: le narrateur ressouvient sa enfance et l´influence du radio dans les années 1940 dans le quotidien dans sa famille. Ce film n´est pas une simple reconstitution historique mais un document pour l´histoire, document visuel en potentiel étudié dans les relations cinema, histoire et mémoire. Dans cette perspective l´analyse filmique discute le méthode suggéré par Marc Ferro pour l´analyse du document d´images en mouvement. Le film est, dans nos cas, un écrivain d´histoire et en même temps un support pour la mémoire: mémoire étendu pour Jacques Le Goff et experience collective pour Walter Benjamin.

Deus escreve certo por linhas tortas

If cinema is an essentially urban means of expression, the fruit of technique and industry, can a film narrator express in a film’s esthetics a caipira’s « Weltanschauung » (world vision or philosophy) ? We suggest, agreeing with Benjamin – who considers that narrative is the best expression of manual and traditional work’s time– that the story related by the film A proteção de Santo António constitutes a cinematographic narrative which can be classified as caipira. Tenderly called by the audiences Santo António e a vaca, this film was supported by a large part of the population for its making, which allowed to fill in the lack of technical and financial resources. Here, we defend the idea that the visible traces of this work in this particular film, turns it into a real filmic narrative and also into a sincere tribute to caipira culture.

Villa Aurore, de J.-M Gustave Le Clézio: duplicações literárias

Le conte “Villa Aurore” montre bien la mobilité et la duplicité qui caractérisent l’oeuvre de Le Clézio: en même temps que le titre de cet ouvrage, La ronde et autres faits divers, annonce la représentation de la réalité à partir des faits divers, la présence du mythe donne au récit un fort potentiel poétique, qui peut être constaté surtout dans le lyrisme du langage et dans les procédés poétiques que l’auteur utilise dans la création de ses récits. Tel que dans d’autres textes de La ronde et autres faits divers, le conte “Villa Aurore” montre la force d’un récit réaliste, attaché à la banalité quotidienne, mais qui se tourne vers le mythe, en configurant une structure circulaire, dont relève le doublement des catégories narratives du temps, de l'espace et du narrateur. Ainsi, ce travail a l’objectif de montrer comment les représentations du narrateur, du temps et de l’espace, doublées et opposées, contribuent-elles à déterminer cette structure et aussi comment semblent-elles converger pour l’expression du désir de l’évocation d’une quête sur les origines dans le corpus étudié

Construções gramaticais e questões estilísticas no livro Piccoli equivoci senza importanza, de Antonio Tabucchi

The translation project of some short stories of the book Piccoli equivoci senza importanza, written by the Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi, was performed during the academic years. This thesis target is to analyze grammatical and stylistic issues of the short stories; to achieve this goal, parts of the original texts and their respective translations were used. The grammar section approaches important aspects as idioms, false cognates and different verb regencies between Portuguese and Italian. The stylistic part focuses on Tabucchi´s choices regarding the narrator, focalization, types of speech and interior monologues in his texts; these options characterize the Italian writer´s style and make his stories plots intense. As a conclusion it can be noticed that this work is relevant to give a forward step in the Italian literature studies field, because it contributes to an important author style study and provides the analysis of which choices compound the text and the effects they cause

Personagens e espaço em romances de Aluísio Azevedo

The characters of O mulato, Casa de pensão and O cortiço, well written books by the writer Aluísio Azevedo, may be considered predominantly flat, for they were built with a single or few features. This kind of character can be even defined by the type, which represents certain dominant features (professional, psychological, cultural, economic, religious, etc.) from the diegetic universe in which the action takes place. This character subcategory is present in certain artistic periods such as Realism and Naturalism, and can be understood as the main character between the individual and the collective, between the concrete and the abstract. Yet, the social space, in the novels of the above mentioned literary movements configures itself, especially in terms of the presence and types of extras: it is about describing environments that illustrate, almost always, in a historical period context of critical intent, vices and deformations of the society, as we can see depicted in the three novels of the author. In turn, the narrative categories that most decisively influence the space representation are the instance (the narrator) and the narrative perspective (focusing). In the case of O mulato, Casa de pensão and O cortiço, the dominance is in choosing the omniscient narrator, who prefers a panoramic view, limited to an exterior and strictly objective description. The survey was developed through readings, literary cataloging and corpus discussions, with a theoretical basis determined by three dimensions: a) critical essays about the author and his works, such as those by Jean-Yves Mérian, Aluísio Azevedo, vida e obra: (1857-1913) and parts of the literature histories which deal with Naturalism, such as those by Alfredo Bosi, História concisa da literatura brasileira, b) theoretical studies about the novel character, such as those by Antonio Candido, A personagem do romance, and the romantic space ...

Memória, culpa e angústia nas narrativas de Alice Munro e Clarice Lispector

This study analyses two writers from different nationalities and cultures, the Brazilian Clarice Lispector and the Canadian Alice Munro, to demonstrate the common treatment that both writers give to the childhood theme. The central aim is to examine, with the support of Freud‘s psychoanalytic studies, how childhood is important to understand the writers‘ fiction, or when a narrative voice revisits experiences lived in that period, or when the narrative is dominated by a childlike voice. In both events, memory is the central element in this anamnesis process. We seek to prove that even when dealing with different cultures, it is possible to develop a comparative study to show similar strategies applied by the writers. The selected narratives show relevant information concerning the chosen theme and enable to reveal the mode of composition and the concept of literary creation of each author. The analytical study of the narrative categories, especially the narrator, time and space, will be examined to show how they influence on the construction of the theme. Other features will provide support for the analysis, such as internalized narrative, the open end, the constant temporal and spatial distortions, the use of contradictory figures of speech such as oxymoron, unusual metaphors and antitheses, the portrayal of a paradoxical world and the concern with existential questions, all of which are shared by the authors, in addition to the theme, which allow the comparative work

Construção literária de manifestações da justiça em contos de Sagarana

This paper concentrates on the analysis of how, through the narrative elements, as narrator, characters and story, Guimarães Rosa builds the theme of justice in tales of Sagarana. While all the collection is taken into consideration, we emphasize in the study: O burrinho pedrês, Duelo, São Marcos, Corpo Fechado, Conversa de bois and A hora e vez de Augusto Matraga . We realize that justice built in tales always has two manifestations: human justice and divine justice, which regulates all the events of the stories

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
