João Cabral de Melo Neto: a estética do avesso

La pieza-poema Morte e Vida severina Auto de natal pernambucano, de João Cabral de Melo Neto, publicada en 1956, es el principal objeto de este estudio, interaccionando con las obras O Cão sem plumas y O rio por la similitud temática entre ellas: el estudio sobre esas obras busca una lectura desvinculada del posicionamiento constructivista y metalingüístico que por tradición configura la obra cabralina, no por negar a la crítica literaria que da respaldo científico, pero con la pretensión de lanzar una nueva mirada dirigida para el concepto de barroco, materia ésta que implica la creación poética a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Por lo tanto, este trabajo presenta una propuesta de análisis de la poesía de João Cabral a partir del contexto neobarroco. Considerando, sobre todo, los aspectos similares a la temática del barroco, el enfoque recae sobre la influencia de la literatura ibérica por que pasa el poeta João Cabral, así como la temática sobre el conflicto existencial explorado en el texto Morte e Vida severina, y aún, los extractos de lenguaje con significación múltiple que presentan signos metonímicos y metafóricos.

Do cientista ao ativista: os problemas da ciência do texto e uma solução revolucionaria na obra de Terry Eagleton

The literary critic Terry Eagleton obtained notoriety in academic circles when he was recognized intellectually for his bestselling book Literary Theory: An Introduction. In this book, the English author boldly proposes the end of literature and literary criticism. However, Eagleton proposed years before, in his book Criticism and Ideology (1976), a scientific system of analysis of literary texts, which seemed less radical, both in theory and in method, than in his later theoretical proposal. Based on this, the objective of this dissertation is to present the English literary critic´s initial method, explaining the reasons that led him to abandon his initial project - of develop a method of analysis of the literary text on a Marxist scientific perspective - and to propose, in the following years, in his most famous book and others, a revolutionary vision that would go beyond textual analysis and make literary texts have a practical intervention in society. Finally, we explain what would be his idea of revolutionary criticism

Coerção e ruptura estilísticas na poesia potiguar: a construção do ethos inventivo do poeta Jorge Fernandes

Within the poetic scenario of Rio Grande do Norte the publication of Livro de Poemas de Jorge Fernandes, in 2007, marks, in the imagery of the Potiguar community of poetry readers, producers and critics, the beginning of the social circulation of an inventive ethos associated with the poet Jorge Fernandes de Oliveira (1887-1953). Regarding the event mentioned earlier as a point of reference, this research investigates the construction of such ethos based on the counterpoint between the poet s individual stylistic choices and the stylistic options that prevailed in the lyric production of the Twenties in the 20th Century. The corpus comprises poetic texts (by the poet under discussion and by other poets who were, then, regarded as icons of the poetry of Rio Grande do Norte) and texts representative of local literary criticism (produced both during the Twenties and in other decades of the last century). Support to this analysis is grounded in Mikhail Bakhtin s theory of the utterance (mainly regarding style) and in Dominique Maingueneau s theory of the utterance (mainly regarding ethos). During the course of this investigation, the research has outlined an inventory of the prevailing individual stylistic choices of Jorge Fernandes de Oliveira and the reasons why such choices point out towards the inventive ethos associated with the poet.
