A ―CORAGEM DE SER‖ CLARICE: a centralidade da existência humana como expressão da religião na obra de Clarice Lispector estudada a partir da teologia da cultura de Paul Tillich

O presente trabalho estuda a centralidade da existência humana como expressão de religião na obra de Clarice Lispector. A noção de religião trabalhada deriva do conceito de teologia da cultura proposta pelo filósofo e teólogo teuto-estadunidense Paul Tillich e de seus desdobramentos, como o conceito de coragem de ser, fé, revelação, nãoser e Ser-em-si. O estudo é feito sobre os contos e romances publicados por Clarice Lispector, passando por diversas temáticas tangentes, como corpo, sexualidade, gênero, pobreza, identidade, pertença e alteridade. A tese que se defende é de que existem preocupações existenciais em sentido profundo que podem ser consideradas preocupações religiosas na literatura de Clarice Lispector, considerando o sentido tillichiano. Tal problemática se expressa tanto nos contos quanto nos romances clariceanos, a partir tanto das temáticas quanto das estruturas textuais. A obra de Clarice Lispector exibe amplo questionamento existencial, sobretudo aqueles que se dão de maneira profunda, como a questão da origem, do fim, da finalidade e da significação da existência, tocando assim no fundamento religioso da expressão cultural. Esse fundamento religioso se apresenta como uma constante, uma linha contínua a partir da qual pode se entender de maneira mais profunda tanto o sentido de unidade da completude da obra da escritora brasileira quanto as particularidades de suas narrativas sobre diferentes temáticas. Partimos da hipótese de que há, na literatura clariceana, um momento no qual as suas personagens experimentam um evento que as fazem encarar de maneira nova ou diferenciada as suas situações existenciais. Esses eventos são basicamente o choque como nãoser, a experiência de encontro com o nada que há na profundidade da construção literária das personagens.

Narrative comprehension: Semantic and syntactic summary production

The purpose of this research was to examine from a syntactic and narrative structure perspective two narrative summary types: a summary with a length constraint and an unconstrained summary. In addition, this research served to develop a multidimensional theory of narrative comprehension.^ College freshmen read two short stories written by written by Sake and were asked to write a constrained summary for one text and an unconstrained summary for the other text. Following this the subjects completed a metacognitive questionnaire. The summaries were analyzed to examine transitivity features and narrative structure features. The metacognitive questionnaires were examined to extract information about plot structure, differences between one and two episode stories, and to gain insight into the strategies used by subjects in producing both summary types.^ A Paired t-test conducted on the data found that there was a significant transitivity feature mean difference between a constrained summary and an unconstrained summary indicating that the number of transitivity features produced from each summary type were task dependent.^ Chi-square tests conducted on the data found that there were proportional differences in usage between plot features and thematic abstract units in an unconstrained summary and a constrained summary indicating that plot features and thematic abstract units produced from each summary type were task dependent.^ Qualitative analyses indicated that setting, goal, and resolution are typical within plot organization, there are summary production differences between one and two episode narratives, and subjects do not seem to be aware of summary production strategies.^ The results of this research have implications for comprehension and writing instruction. ^

The Blue Highway

The Blue Highway is a collection of eleven literary short stories and ten miniatures that depict men in trouble, searching for a code to live by. The miniatures are repressed memories, appearing suddenly like the tips of ice bergs and act as stepping stones (tension bridges) between the larger works. The stories begin at the end with "Time Out", the story of Frank, a down and out homeless vet at the end of his rope. Then we begin the journey along "The Blue Highway" with Danny and his gang of teenage bandits, taking themselves to Disney World to see if they can recapture their lost dream. On our journey we will meet Mark, the ex-killer, an old Cuban fisherman who will not give up his honor, a young man on a way to a war who discovers a fantastic treasure, a soldier on his way home again, two MP's who nearly kill the wrong man, we will spend a night on an African savannah with wild hyenas and finally, meet a grandfather who discovers the one gift which might save his family. The same gift which might save Frank as well. ^
