Imagens da morte: um estudo do gênero policial-fantástico em Poe, Wilde e Christie

The mirror has always been related to different symbols, usually connected to self-knowledge and truth. This is due to the fact that this object shows whoever looks oneself in it an image as close to reality as it is possible. On the other hand, the mirror is also associated to mysticism and to the supernatural for it can magically duplicate one who looks into it. This ambiguous characteristic turns the mirror into an element that is fantastic in itself and places it in the central position of our discussion. Therefore, in this study, we analyze the texts In a Glass Darkly, by Agatha Christie, The Oval Portrait, by Edgar Allan Poe, and The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, giving special attention to the study of the images and artificial representations of men: the mirror, as an ephemeral representation; and the portrait, as an attempt to eternize an ephemeral image. We also discuss themes such as jealousy, the double, and death in the several forms in which it appears in the texts: suicides, homicides, attempted murders, death in life (mourning, separation, and developmental phases) all of which are, somehow, related to the specular representations. The narrative resource of using a mirror to introduce the supernatural event, along with the theme of death in all the narratives we have studied, and the difficulty to place these texts within the pre-established genres led us to categorize them as being part of a hybrid genre that presents characteristics both of the fantastic and of the detective story which we have named fantastic-detective story

Considerações sobre sessões de Teletandem como gênero discursivo: breve estudo e exemplificação

The reflex of social and cultural changes in discursive practices can indicate that language has a fundamental role in transforming the society and attempts of defining the directions of changes must include new forms of language practices. One of these forms concerns to computer media in teaching-learning process, showing how technology and culture interact in a significant way to interfere in language uses. In this context, it has been developed in UNESP/Assis linked to the Center for Language and Teacher Development the project Teletandem Brasil: Foreign Languages for All as a new practice of language teachinglearning through technological resources. The present paper aims to present a description of the teletandem sessions as a discursive gender according to the Bakhtin’s gender theory. The data was collected during the second semester of 2010, in sessions of interaction with an American university. The considerations are directed by the following questions: (a) how are the statements of a session discursively organized; (b) what kind of relationship the partners have with their mother language when they teach it as a foreign language, in this context. The analysis allowed us to conclude that: (a) the sessions can characterize a hybrid and secondary gender in this specific area of human activity, even the partners still find difficulties in this gender domain; (b) the teletandem sessions constitute an important instrument for the critical language awareness between the partners.

Adélia Prado: poética e modernidade

Esta dissertação trata da poética de Adélia Prado. Procurei destacar, dentro da vasta obra da autora, sua ligação com o divino a partir da dessacralização de uma linguagem que a este se atribui. A meu ver, a poeta transfere para o cotidiano toda a carga semântica relativa ao sagrado: espiritualiza o concreto e daí constrói sua abstração, reformulando a escrita do corpo originalmente marcada pala imagem de pecado. O corpo representa a possibilidade de concretização da experiência com o divino. Assim, surge uma linguagem que se dobra sobre si mesma e recompõe seus significados para satisfazer as necessidades de um gênero híbrido evidenciado pelo trânsito entre o poético e o prosaico

As metáforas nas crônicas jornalísticas de Cony e Veríssimo

A crônica jornalística, como gênero híbrido na interface entre o jornalismo e a literatura, descreve situações concretas do cotidiano, mas as recria com vistas ao entretenimento e a reflexão crítica. Para inventar uma história, a partir dos fatos da vida real, o cronista utiliza figuras retóricas, notadamente, a metáfora. O objetivo deste artigo é identificar a metáfora, como um dos elementos criativos que compõem as crônicas jornalísticas de dois consagrados cronistas brasileiros: Carlos Heitor Cony e Luis Fernando Veríssimo. Como base teórica, esta pesquisa utiliza o referencial estruturalista, a técnica é a análise de conteúdo, especificamente, a análise de enunciação.

Qu est-ce que c est?: uma HQ autobiográfica de Fábio Moon e Gabriel Bá.

Partindo da ideia de que as histórias em quadrinhos, apesar de serem consideradas um gênero híbrido, possuem também uma linguagem autônoma, este trabalho busca investigar por meio de análise de conteúdo uma história em quadrinhos (HQ)autobiográfica dos gêmeos paulistas Fábio Moon e Gabriel Bá, Qu’est-ce que c’est?, publicada pela primeira vez em inglês na coletânea Autobiographix (Dark Horse Books, 2003) e republicada em português no livro Crítica (Devir, 2004). Serão analisados recursos estéticos e narrativos, tentando descobrir também quais são as particularidades de uma HQ autobiográfica. A história narra a saga dos irmãos durante uma viagem a Paris, onde foram visitar museus e colher referências para seu trabalho. No metrô, eles se depararam com uma gangue da periferia.

Intersecções possíveis : o miniconto e a série fotográfica

O presente trabalho tem como tema norteador a atualização da discussão ontológica acerca da definição do conceito de representação, a fim de mostrar os caminhos paralelos percorridos pelo gênero literário conto e a arte fotográfica na concepção de suas propostas epistêmicas. Através da busca das especificidades de cada gênero, pretende-se mostrar a natureza híbrida do miniconto e da série fotográfica, tornando possível a observação do pertencimento destas obras aos seus campos e, ao mesmo tempo, de seus elementos de ruptura, além dos diálogos existentes entre as duas. A aproximação se apóia nos conceitos de interdisciplinaridade e hibridez, utilizando como corpus o miniconto Continuidad de los parques, de Julio Cortazar, e a série fotográfica Things are Queer, de Duane Michals, que serão analisados sob o aspecto da temática e da construção temporal.

O memorial autobiográfico: uma tradição acadêmica do ensino superior no Brasil

The thesis has as object of study the autobiographical memmorials. The general objective is to describe the history of the memmorial as an academic tradition of higher education in Brazil. Considered a hybrid genre, memmorials are known for focusing on life stories from a scientific perspective. The investigation revolves around three intertwined branches: History of Education, educational practices and language usages, which allow us to conduct a dialogue with multiple theoretical-methodological references with a view to supporting our analyses. The corpus used for the analysis was made up of 40 autobiographical memmorials, distributed as follows: 16 academic memmorials, dated from 1935 to 1970; 07 academic memmorials, dated from 1980 to 2007; and 17 formation memmorials, dated from 1995 to 2000. In this corpus, we also included official documents, which relate to legislation contained in edicts, resolutions, ordinances, regulations, which we used with a view to: 1) getting to know and understanding the big picture of higher education regulation in Brazil and the aspects related to the higher education teaching career; 2) investigating the text of memmorials in the light of the injunctive discourse characteristic of the edicts and resolutions in which they were based. The analysis of the memmorial supported by the legislation which regulates it allowed us to reconstitute the image of the professor throughout 80 years in the Brazilian public university. For this purpose, the study was conducted in the theoretical-methodological perspective of the (auto)biographical research in Education and of the sociolinguistic studies on discourse genres and discursive traditions. The investigations reveal the memmorial as an academic genre in which the professor's academic-professional history and the history of the higher education teaching career in Brazil intertwine. Anchored in the Bakhtinian perspective on discourse genres, according to which the memmorials evolve and become more complex as their contexts of usage also evolve and become more complex themselves, the results of our analyses allowed us to correlate genre changes to the sociohistorical context and to its usage as an educational practice in the university, in the decades under study. Therefore, the analyses showed that these self-writings: go from latent subjectivity to pure objectivity from the 1930s to 1960s; they show total annulment of the subject from the 1960s to the 1970s; they reappear in the 1980s, having Professor Magda Soares' memmorial as perspective; they expand and diversify from the 1990s onwards, taking on a formative role and a perspective of future as well. So far as language usages are concerned, we investigated the relationship of the subject with the language, especifically the manifestation of alterity on the discursive tissue of the memmorials. In this branch, the analyses pointed to the influence of the authoritative discourse on the formation of the professor and of the injunction and reinventing discourses on the authorship process. Therefore, the autobiographical memmorial reveals itself as a specific expression of the Brazilian academy's cultural sphere and allows us to confirm the hypothesis that each memorial tackles a singular-plural situation, by presenting a dialectical articulation between private and public, according to the institutional structures, in which and with which the professor has already formed him/herself and with which he/she dialogues

Cristo si è fermato a Eboli, de Carlo Levi e Francesco Rosi: memórias da cor de olhos tristes

As a hybrid genre, the narrative of Carlo Levi is an objective account and subjective elaboration that are equalized in a literary form. Written between 1943 and 1944, the book evokes with an atmosphere of memoir the period of 1935 and 1936, the writer’s exile. The film based on the narration fragmentizes the daily life of the problematic region and highlights the truth aimed by the discourses composed in times of crises, reinforced by action and expression without provincialism and also without a compensating aristocratic pose. It is possible to see some incapacity of the film by Rosi, natural to a certain degree, to translate the synthesis of literary treatment and socio-historical reflection. For this reason it is necessary to read the adaptation as an attitude about the literary matter and the result of historical experience. The memoir character relies on the artifice that makes good use of the book’s opening, the author’s short monologue, its narrative frame. The presence of paintings materializes the questions about the absurd contained in them

Castigat ridendo mores: história do Brasil e teatro francês na crônica de Machado de Assis

The chronicles of Machado de Assis can be read as a historical document or a literary work. Characterized as a hybrid genre, the chronicle allows several readings and interpretations, but it’s always connected at the time and at the production’s context. The aim of this article is to averiguate how Machado de Assis commented the importants subjects of his time, mixing the french classic theater and the brazilian’s history.

Pedro Lemebel ante las lógicas de la exclusión

La crónica puede ser pensada como un género híbrido, a caballo entre la literatura y el periodismo, capaz de dar cuenta de la irrupción de la ciudad moderna, de sus distintas representaciones y de los miedos y fantasmas que provoca, pero también de la fragmentación y marginalidades de las urbes posmodernas. Desde aquí, esta ponencia discute las crónicas radiales del chileno Pedro Lemebel (particularmente las de su libro De perlas y cicatrices) en tanto trabajo particular de la memoria ejercido frente al horror de la dictadura. Como verdadero lugar de resistencia, estas crónicas se construyen más allá de la dialéctica establecida por Freud entre duelo y melancolía. En todo caso, y desde su perfil performativo, la escritura de Lemebel puede ser pensada desde una verdadera topología del margen que desestabiliza no sólo las identidades sexuales sino también los lugares de resistencia frente al poder. Judith Butler, pensando la dimensión psíquica del poder en la formación de los sujetos, se refiere al establecimiento de la matriz heterosexual a partir de prohibiciones que llevarían al sujeto a una identificación melancólica con el objeto homosexual que debió ser rechazado. En este sentido, la pregunta que intenta plantearse esta ponencia es hasta qué punto se pueden relacionar en la escritura de Lemebel la irrepresentabilidad del horror con la indefinición genérica
