Poéticas ficcionais e percursos imaginários em City of glass de Paul Auster

Nas três narrativas que constituem The New York Trilogy – City of Glass, Ghosts e The Locked Room – Paul Auster emprega e desconstrói os elementos convencionais do romance policial, elaborando uma investigação recorrente da natureza, função e significado da linguagem, mas também da solidão, do encerramento e da problemática da identidade. A produção narrativa de Auster evoca fantasmas logocêntricos tradicionais (como a presença, a realidade e a verdade), que fazem eco do princípio de indissolubilidade entre palavra e significado, apenas para lograr esta identidade através de uma orientação textual para a marcação da ficcionalidade e consequente reforço dos efeitos de significação ilusórios. Auster altera os mecanismos logrando as expectativas do leitor em relação ao epílogo e à transparência textual, que um pacto mimético faria pressupor. O espaço vazio resultante confere ao texto uma liberdade plurissignificativa que dispersa todas as certezas e veicula o poder da criação do caos. Sob a aparência de fluência narrativa, a escrita de Paul Auster esconde uma subversão das premissas básicas da literatura realista e dos signos referenciais, numa poética auto-reflexiva ficcionalizada sobre a estruturação de universos imaginários.

Cura mágica

Em se tratando do estudo comparativo entre o Almanaque Brasileiro Garnier, produzido por uma das últimas filiais francesas no Rio de Janeiro, e o Almanach Hachette, editado pela Librarie Hachette em Paris, propomos a aferição das cidades excelentes, Paris e Rio de Janeiro, por meio da análise de duas propagandas ou almanaquias concernentes a tratamentos terapêuticos, Nutrigène e Pilules Pink, para cura - em um microcosmo popular inscrito no mítico-poético - dos males da modernidade. Ora, a construção, de tais sítios oníricos enraizados no popular, permite que façamos a inferência segundo a qual os antigos tratamentos naturais, como as garrafadas, os chás e as ervas, agora recebam uma roupagem moderna, em que os antigos pacotes ou sacos, são, doravante, encapsulados e enfrascados, como as Pilules Pink e o Nutrigène, uma espécie de ‘’modernização’’ dos princípios terapêuticos e místicos advindos dos bálsamos populares de outrora.

A criação da mulher, segundo Hesíodo

Pretende-se, neste estudo, apresentar uma leitura crítica das duas versões hesiódicas do mito de Pandora, bem como analisar o modo como através destas narrativas poéticas se desenvolve, pela primeira vez, na Literatura Grega Arcaica, o mito da criação da mulher.

Da imagem poética ao diálogo interartístico

Na poesia de Luiza Neto Jorge existe uma verdadeira poética do olhar, uma espécie de poder de encantação que permite o estabelecimento de nexos de continuidade com as artes visuais. Partindo desta premissa de base surrealista, pretende-se relacionar a poesia de Luiza Neto Jorge com a pintura, o cinema, a música, o teatro, a arquitetura e a escultura Nos ensaios poéticos do século XX, na criação do poema como matéria verbal, o papel da imagem passa a ser o de apresentar e não mais o de representar. Com base na definição de André Breton, a imagem contraria o conceito harmonioso de beleza tradicional, acasalando realidades contraditórias e adquirindo um caráter delirante, fantástico e até diabólico.

Expérience précaire du monde et représentation de la poésie dans La fissure de la fiction et Désâmé de Patrice Desbiens

Diverses œuvres de poésie moderne et contemporaine mettent en scène le rapport à l’écriture d’un sujet lyrique. Une telle problématique trouve une incarnation particulièrement intéressante dans l’œuvre de Patrice Desbiens, notamment dans certains de ses textes des années 1990 et 2000, où elle apparaît avec plus d’acuité. Pourtant, sa pratique auto-réflexive a fait l’objet de très peu de recherches. Afin d’éclairer le rapport qu’entretient Patrice Desbiens avec l’écriture et avec la poésie, ce mémoire s’intéresse à deux de ses textes, soit La fissure de la fiction (1997) et Désâmé, (2005) en accordant davantage d’espace au premier, que je considère comme un texte-charnière dans la production poétique de Desbiens. Dans un premier temps, mon travail présente ainsi la précarité qui caractérise le protagoniste de La fissure de la fiction et, sous un autre angle, le sujet lyrique de Désâmé. Dans cette optique, la figure du poète est étudiée dans La fissure de la fiction à la lumière de la reprise ironique du mythe de la malédiction littéraire et du sens que la réactualisation de ce mythe confère au personnage dans ce récit poétique. Dans un second temps, ce mémoire s’attache à montrer que la cohérence et la vraisemblance des univers mis en scène dans La fissure de la fiction et Désâmé sont minées. C’est à l’aune de ces analyses que peut ensuite être envisagé le rôle d’une poésie qui, en dernière instance, comporte malgré tout un caractère consolateur, en dépit ou en raison de l’esthétique du grotesque, tantôt comique, tantôt tragique, dans laquelle elle s’inscrit et que nous tâcherons de mettre en lumière.

Jane Gardam: religious writer

This thesis examines the work of the award-winning contemporary English short story and novel writer Jane Gardam. It proposes that much of her achievement and craft stems from her engagement with religion. It draws on Gardam’s published works from 1971 to 2014 including children’s books and adult novels. While Gardam has been reviewed widely, there is little serious critical appreciation of her fiction and there are misreadings of the influence of religion in her work. I therefore analyse the religious dimensions of her stories: the language, stylistics and hermeneutic of Gardam’s three religious influences, namely the Anglo-Catholic, Benedictine and Quaker movements and how she sites them within her work. The thesis proposes lectio divina, arguably an ancient form of contemporary reader-response criticism, as a framework to describe the Word’s religious agency when embedded or alluded to in fiction. It also considers and applies critical discussion on the medieval concept of the aevum, a literary religious space. Finally, I suggest that religious writing such as Gardam’s has a place in the as yet unexplored ‘poetic’ strand of Receptive Ecumenism, a new movement that seeks to address reception of the Word between members of different faith communities. Having examined many aspects of Gardam’s writing, its history and potential, I conclude that her achievement owes much to her engagement with particular and divergent forms of religious life and practice.

Décimas e quadras populares do concelho de Vidigueira: tradução para a língua francesa

No presente relatório, apresento um trabalho que foca parte dos elementos representativos do património popular, oral, poético e cultura do concelho de Vidigueira, composto por uma abordagem que respeita o trabalho dos seus poetas populares e por um processo que se prende com a tradução destas poesias populares na sua passagem da língua portuguesa para a língua francesa. É através destas formas poéticas, décimas e quadras, que cinco poetas e uma poetisa, todos eles autóctones e residentes neste concelho, retratam as suas matrizes sócio-culturais, espaciais e intelectuais. Quanto à tradução dos poemas, este processo aspira à transmissão da carga cultural contida nestas formas de poesia popular, a cidadãos francófonos. Para além da utilização de algumas ferramentas de tradução, aqui, e em simultâneo, são também aplicadas as técnicas de tradução apreendidas durante o percurso académico. ABSTRACT; ln this report, I present a work that focuses a part of the representative elements of the popular, oral and poetic heritage as well as the culture of Vidigueira council, based on a study containing the work of its popular poets and the process of dealing with the translation of these popular poems from Portuguese to French. It's through these poetic forms, tenth and quatrains, that five poets and a poetess, all of them native and residents in this council, portray their intellectual, spatial, and sociocultural frameworks. Regarding the translation of the poems, the process aims at the transmission of the cultural environment included in these forms of popular poetry, to francophone citizens. Besides the using of some translation tools, here, and simultaneously, are also used the techniques of translation learnt during my academic studies. Résumé; Dans ce rapport, je présent un travai! concentré dans une partie des éléments représentatifs du patrimoine populaire, oral, poétique et culturel de la municipalité de Vidigueira, composé par une approche concemant le travai!de ses poetes populaires et aussi un processus dont l'objectif est de traduire ces poésies populaires du Portugais vers le Français. C'est à travers ces formes poétiques, dizains et quatrains, que cinq poetes et une poétesse, autochtones et résidents dans cette municipalité, présentent leurs matrices socioculturelles, spatiales et intellectuelles. En ce qui concerne la traduction des poemes, ce processus vise la transmission de la charge culturelle contenue dans ces formes de poésie populaire, aux citoyens francophones. Au même temps que j'en utilise quelques outils de traduction, j'en applique aussi les techniques de traduction apprises pendant le parcours académique.

POSTDATA – Towards publishing European poetry as linked open data

POSTDATA is a 5 year's European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant Project that started in May 2016 and is hosted by the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Madrid, Spain. The context of the project is the corpora of European Poetry (EP), with a special focus on poetic materials from different languages and literary traditions. POSTDATA aims to offer a standardized model in the philological field and a metadata application profile (MAP) for EP in order to build a common classification of all these poetic materials. The information of Spanish, Italian and French repertoires will be published in the Linked Open Data (LOD) ecosystem. Later we expect to extend the model to include additional corpora. There are a number of Web Based Information Systems in Europe with repertoires of poems available to human consumption but not in an appropriate condition to be accessible and reusable by the Semantic Web. These systems are not interoperable; they are in fact locked in their databases and proprietary software, not suitable to be linked in the Semantic Web. A way to make this data interoperable is to develop a MAP in order to be able to publish this data available in the LOD ecosystem, and also to publish new data that will be created and modeled based on this MAP. To create a common data model for EP is not simple since the existent data models are based on conceptualizations and terminology belonging to their own poetical traditions and each tradition has developed an idiosyncratic analytical terminology in a different and independent way for years. The result of this uncoordinated evolution is a set of varied terminologies to explain analogous metrical phenomena through the different poetic systems whose correspondences have been hardly studied – see examples in González-Blanco & Rodríguez (2014a and b). This work has to be done by domain experts before the modeling actually starts. On the other hand, the development of a MAP is a complex task though it is imperative to follow a method for this development. The last years Curado Malta & Baptista (2012, 2013a, 2013b) have been studying the development of MAP's in a Design Science Research (DSR) methodological process in order to define a method for the development of MAPs (see Curado Malta (2014)). The output of this DSR process was a first version of a method for the development of Metadata Application Profiles (Me4MAP) (paper to be published). The DSR process is now in the validation phase of the Relevance Cycle to validate Me4MAP. The development of this MAP for poetry will follow the guidelines of Me4MAP and this development will be used to do the validation of Me4MAP. The final goal of the POSTDATA project is: i) to be able to publish all the data locked in the WIS, in LOD, where any agent interested will be able to build applications over the data in order to serve final users; ii) to build a Web platform where: a) researchers, students and other final users interested in EP will be able to access poems (and their analyses) of all databases; b) researchers, students and other final users will be able to upload poems, the digitalized images of manuscripts, and fill in the information concerning the analysis of the poem, collaboratively contributing to a LOD dataset of poetry.

Imperfect indifference : the rhythm, structure and politics of neutrality

Cette thèse propose l’émergence d’une poésie de l’entre deux dans la littérature expérimentale, en suivant ses développements du milieu du vingtième siècle jusqu'au début du vingt-et-unième. Cette notion d’entre-deux poétique se fonde sur une théorie du neutre (Barthes, Blanchot) comme ce qui se situe au delà ou entre l'opposition et la médiation. Le premier chapitre retrace le concept de monotonie dans la théorie esthétique depuis la période romantique où il est vu comme l'antithèse de la variabilité ou tension poétique, jusqu’à l’émergence de l’art conceptuel au vingtième siècle où il se déploie sans interruption. Ce chapitre examine alors la relation de la monotonie à la mélancolie à travers l’analyse de « The Anatomy of Monotony », poème de Wallace Stevens tiré du recueil Harmonium et l’œuvre poétique alphabet de Inger Christensen. Le deuxième chapitre aborde la réalisation d’une poésie de l’entre-deux à travers une analyse de quatre œuvres poétiques qui revisitent l’usage de l’index du livre paratextuel: l’index au long poème “A” de Louis Zukofsky, « Index to Shelley's Death » d’Alan Halsey qui apparait à la fin de l’oeuvre The Text of Shelley's Death, Cinema of the Present de Lisa Robertson, et l’oeuvre multimédia Via de Carolyn Bergvall. Le troisième chapitre retrace la politique de neutralité dans la théorie de la traduction. Face à la logique oppositionnelle de l’original contre la traduction, il propose hypothétiquement la réalisation d’une troisième texte ou « l’entre-deux », qui sert aussi à perturber les récits familiers de l’appropriation, l’absorption et l’assimilation qui effacent la différence du sujet de l’écrit. Il examine l’oeuvre hybride Secession with Insecession de Chus Pato et Erin Moure comme un exemple de poésie de l’entre-deux. A la fois pour Maurice Blanchot et Roland Barthes, le neutre représente un troisième terme potentiel qui défie le paradigme de la pensée oppositionnelle. Pour Blanchot, le neutre est la différence amenée au point de l’indifférence et de l’opacité de la transparence tandis que le désire de Barthes pour le neutre est une utopie lyrique qui se situe au-delà des contraintes de but et de marquage. La conclusion examine comment le neutre correspond au conditions de liberté gouvernant le principe de créativité de la poésie comme l’acte de faire sans intention ni raison.

La imagen en el discurso multimodal cortazariano, una poética en movimiento

The selection and proposed cortazarian image in multimodal speech, a poetic moving as a doctoral thesis title, is the result of a process that forms several progressive stages. more than satisfy our curiosity and literary artistic concerns, the questions multiply increases our desire to bring more creative Cortazarian the colossus, that not only ruins a way of making literature , but in its revolutionary labyrinth gives a turn of the screw to the already tangled world of artistic writing , breaking in 1967 with the first of four hybrids books, La vuelta al día en ochenta mundos through which converts the traditional plastic unitextual and unimodal space in a palempsesto inexhaustible generator senses and meanings. Far from appeasing the wrath of conservative critics, caused by his narrative masterpiece, Hopscotch (1963), sparked the debate to denounce the regression of the classic molds of writing, proposing the imagination as the setting for creative freedom, it is not as arbitrary and nonsense, but as a process of higher state of consciousness in which it operates an underlying logic. Hence, our objective is to crawl into the underworld and plastics other multisígnicas border spaces, fleeting and ephemeral alliances that relate not just as complementary and similar texts which may be the same speech and can transmit the same, but quite the contrary, the oft-repeated notion of analogy is the first victim, fortunately, this kind of creative-artistic operations that raise the creative act to a sublime state capable of converting the inexhaustible multitextuales constellations in different ways: opposition, confrontation, invasion, dialogue, shadow, duplication, theft, etc. However this multiple transgression pushed to the limit by Julio Cortazar and his friend Julio Silva through four books proposed for analysis often does not translate into jobs and research in literature departments of the universities of the world, nor the critics are echoes the striking abundance and clarity of expression multimodal phenomenon as is the case with other works of Cortazar unimodal type, which makes it impassable fences mysterious worlds...
