Grimorio: a tradução nos limites de "prosa"

This article aims at discussing the translation of the word grimoire, central in Mallarme's conception of language, in a poem called 'Prose' and its four translations into Portuguese. To do so, it will be necessary, in the first place, to have a closer look at this word and its meanings in Mallarme's work and discuss, in a following step, the choices in translation.

Georges Perec: o anti-proust?

This article presents and analyses the points of view of literary critics that have studied Marcel Proust's role in the work of Georges Perec with the intention of showing the workings of their approaches. The article also points towards a direction that can be followed when analyzing these two writers' relations.

Um modo de ler um livro-biblioteca: a reescritura perecquiana na composição de La vie mode d'emploi

This article presents and analyses some aspects of Georges Perec's composition as shown in his book Life: a user's manual (1978). Starting with the image of a ""book-library"", composed by some of Perec's literary 'models', and discussing the theory of intextertuality and rewriting, we propose to analyse some possible approximations between Perec and Flaubert, especially in the latter's Bouvard and Pecuchet (1881).

Montagem e colagem na obra de Walter Kempowski

Montage was one of the great innovations of avant-garde literature. As time went by, this technique lost some of its shock effect and became increasingly a method for structuring the text. After the avant-garde literature movement, collage started to be mentioned as a concept together with montage, many times as a complement, but the concepts are often blended into each other. In this article, there will be an attempt to delimit what is montage and what is collage through an exposition of some theories and the examination of the way they are applied in the work of a contemporary writer, the German Walter Kempowski.

Altazor, de Vicente Huidobro: o gesto político numa das epopeias de XX

This article aims at presenting a reading of Vicente Huidobro's poem Altazor (1931,) assuming the epic genre postulations and the conditions of its development in the first half of the twentieth century. Important works were produced in that period, setting in motion a deployment of the epic genre as refashioned by the avant-garde movements and contesting the metaphysical formulations that had considered it impossible as a discursive space in modern times. Altazor is situated in this movement as a self-conscience of issues of language and its objective capacities. The work deals with the possible modes of enunciation of a great poet, Altazor, who lacks his former serenity of old and looks for a language able to transcend his mother tongue, because he does not accept its origin. His political revolution is performed on language, the artifice through which history is told.

Surrealismo à mineira

Marginal poetry (poesia marginal) has motivated several studies concerning features common to some poets in the literary scene of the nineteen seventies. On the part of contemporary criticism, however, the focus has been on specific details of each writer from that period. The poet Afonso Henriques Neto debuted with the book 0 misterioso ladrao de Tenerife (1972), written in partnership with Eudoro Augusto, and has revealed an influence of surrealist procedures in all his works published since then. The largely casual style and everyday themes are present in several of his texts, where they coexist with prolific imagery and unusual elements which point out the central conflict of his poetry: the oscillation between the affirmation of the intrinsic value of literature, and the perception of its crisis in a peculiar historical moment. In this sense, we consider how the appropriation of the surrealist denial of rationalism and common sense by the Beat Generation and the counterculture ""filtered"" the reception of the avant-garde movement, influencing the poet's work.

Rationalization, Kunstwollen and technical means of expressivity. The example of the romantic piano

This article seeks to retrace some of the empirical, historical and sociological elements of Max Weber Sociology of music. Even if he is first and foremost interested in the process of rationalisation throughout western civilisation, his Sociology of music is founded on the idea of the technical medium, which he explores in several different directions. This idea will be examined here by means of several examples drawn from western music, particularly from the romantic piano repertoire.

La literatura infantil i juvenil, una especulació

Sovint trobem articles de revistes o capítols de llibres especialitzats que argumenten a favor o en contra de l'existencia d'una literatura específica per als nens i els joves. Els estudiosos que argumenten a favor, coherentment amb la hipótesi feta, presenten com a prova autors, generes, edats, de vegades fins i tot el sexe dels destinataris. També hi ha una defensa del contrari: Juan Ramón Jiménez, Walter Benjamin, Benedetto Croce o J. M. Carandell, per exemple, han intentat mostrar, de forma diversa, que la veritable literatura no pot tenir adjectius limitadors, que históricament adults i nens eren oients, més que lectors, deis mateixos contes, llegendes, poesies, i que és a partir del pensament de la i1-lustració quan es comenga a fer una literatura pedagógica específicament dirigida als infants amb finalitat moralitzadora. És una questió que constantment troba veus que opinen en un sentit o en un altre, arreu del mon i també a casa nostra. El resultat, en general, és consemblant en ambdues posicions donat que, malgrat les declaracions de principis d'intentar no classificar, és ben cert que hi ha una preocupació generalitzada per fer arribar als més petits i als joves les millors lectures o les més convenients, sobretot des d'un punt de vista formatiu i, tant en el segle passat com en el que vivim, aquest objectiu ha mogut a estudiosos, crítics, bibliotecaris, docents i editorials. Triar per oferir un text i no un altre comporta, si més no, inclusions i exclusions, és a dir, un cert tipus de classificació.

Géneros y cuerpos "degenerados" en la narrativa de Copi

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo poner en relación el género literario y el género sexual mediante el estudio del funcionamiento del cronotopo en dos piezas narrativas de Copi (1939-1987). Siguiendo un método comparatista y con la ayuda de diferentes conceptos de teoría literaria, teoría queer y filosofía postestructuralista, se llevará a cabo un análisis, en primer lugar, de los medios con que Copi pretende transgredir las normas de género (literario y sexual); en segundo lugar, de los objetos imitados que son reapropiados según códigos no heterocentrados; por último, del modo en que el espaciamiento del tiempo en la novelística y la cuentística del escritor argentino privilegia una concepción del gender primordialmente prostética.
