Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Baroque literature'

This masters’ treatise is named Baroque literature of Lithuania. It presents panorama of baroque literature in Lithuania in limits of present country. To reach this goal it analyses the literature from the three positions. Firstly, studies the political and historical backgrounds of the state from the early 16th century till the middle of 18th century. Secondly, shows the silhouettes and productions of the most famous and less known, or already forgotten writers, who wrote their compositions in Polish, Lithuanian and Latin languages. Thirdly, presents the most popular kinds of literature of this age. The dissertation consists of three chapters. The first chapter shows general background of baroque epoch development in West Europe. Explains the mining of baroque term and presents the historical and social circumstances of development of the stile in Lithuania. The development of literature of the trend appears on the last part of the chapter, which briefly describes the activity of Vilnius University – the place where was created baroque literature of Lithuania. The second chapter was divided for three parts with regard to languages’ situation of the country and includes by two representatives of everyone of it. Latin language represents M.K. Sarbiewski and Z. Lauksmin, Polish language – P. Skarga and Z. Morsztyn, Lithuanian language – M. Daukša and K. Širvydas. The last part of the chapter shows the first women in literature, who’s activity coincidenced with the baroque... [to full text]

My main thesis is that Baroque can be considered not only as an aesthetic or historical period in the seventeenth century; it is also a way of producing knowledge that puts into dynamic interaction diverse genres, disciplines and historical contexts. I visualize my project under the rubric of a cabinet of curiosities, and I reframe the continued juxtaposition of objects, machines, instruments and artwork that characterize the baroque cabinet to offer an explanatory construct of the early modern Hispanic world and modern Latin American literature and culture. In the first chapter of the dissertation, I contextualize the extensive theoretical discussion on Baroque and Neo-baroque within the studies of collection and curiosity. My main goal with this approach is to create a specific bibliography and understanding of Baroque as a complex process of collecting and displaying different kinds of knowledge through emotions such as wonder and marvel. In the second chapter I examine the impact of the New World on the stable "tower of knowledge" of humanists at the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth centuries. One definitive consequence of this impact was the questioning of the liabilities of ancient text and the need to arrange the new information, which was coming from different resources, into collections of distant and peculiar objects. Expanding this historical frame, I analyze how letrados in the seventeenth century, such as Favián, Sigüenza y Góngora, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Espinoza Medrano, and Arzans Orsúa, were displaying the New World as the biggest collection of curiosities as a way of constructing an emergent criollo subjectivity. After grounding the project in the theoretical and colonial Baroque, my study turns, in the third chapter, to the modern Neo-baroque. I argue that modernity in Latin America is generated by the assimilation of the Enlightenment into a Baroque system. Therefore, Baroque in Latin America represents more than a simple or "erroneous" copy; it is rather a process of "cannibalization" and counterconquest, as José Lezama Lima proclaimed in his literary essay "Baroque Curiosity" (1957). This dissertation is written in Spanish.

The Nose of Death considers the common matrix of the English scientific revolution and the modern English novel through the indicator of laughter. Whereas death is the paradigmatic object of laughter in the premodern period, animate or thinking matter is the prevailing object of laughter in modernity. The change is located in texts of the English baroque period from 1607 to 1767. Baroque discourse is defined by the language developed by writers loyal to both the Christian and the Copernican world views. Contradictory allegiances required them to institute a narratorial position based on simultaneous attachment to and detachment from a single point of view. This position is the defining feature of baroque discourse, the basis of both the perspective of modem science and the animation of multiple viewpoints in the modern novel.
The Nose of Death develops Walter Benjamin's reading of baroque "muting" and "fragmentation," processes that free matter, language, and time for alternative composition. The dissertation likewise adapts M. M. Bakhtin's account of the "grotesque method," considered as the approach to language and the human body that the modern "scientific method" posits itself against. This study treats baroque novelistic discourse in forgotten texts drawn from McGill's Redpath Tracts by Thomas Tomkis, Thomas D'Urfey, Tobias Swinden, and a selection of anonymously authored pamphlets. It considers, as well, two early medical works by Robert Boyle and Walter Charleton. Analogous fragments are similarly analyzed from three canonical works: Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy (1621), Samuel Richardson, Clarissa, or The History of a Young Lady (1747--48), and Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1759--67).

The critique entitled "De la mort baroque a la mort classique" studies three authors and two ways to look at death. Montaigne, in a humanist perspective, focuses on what precedes death. Life is what matters. Death, within the baroque space, invites a celebration of life. Bossuet and Pascal, in a classical religious perspective, concentrate on what follows death. Eternal life is their main preoccupation at the expense of life on earth. Within the classical space, death is celebrated as the door to eternity.
The fiction entitled "Oraison funebre" tells the story of a death and the questioning it evokes. Woven into it is the story of the "little" deaths that take place in the course of a life.

The scientific discoveries and inventions of the early seventeenth century, which include Johannes Kepler’s inverted retinal image, the refinement of lenses, and the invention of the telescope, transformed the status of vision in the acquisition of knowledge, thus modifying the nature of what is known and even challenging how things are known. Rather than focus on philosophical oppositions between seeing and looking, or on artistic practices such as linear perspective or anamorphosis in literature’s engagement with vision, this study privileges instead a dialogue with early modern optics. Deriving a theoretical framework from the scientific debates about vision and its instruments, which brings attention to the historically charged concepts of mediated perception, the visible and the invisible, and natural and mechanical sight, I examine how French and Italian authors in the early seventeenth century engaged with ocular and optical motifs to question the sense of sight and its authority. My corpus describes vision as indispensable to the observation and knowledge of the world, although the texts also expose the vulnerability of the sense of sight to error because of natural limitations or an inability to recognize the true form behind deceitful appearances. As such, they elucidate a crisis of knowledge and representation that characterizes the earlier decades of the seventeenth century. Based on the dynamics between the eye and visual aids as they appear in the scientific community, I identify two distinct visual modes in the literary texts, which correspond to the natural eye and the instrumentalized one, assisted and enhanced by a lens. The authors considered here, which include Béroalde de Verville, Traiano Boccalini, Agrippa d’Aubigné, and the writers involved in the polemics around Giambattista Marino’s L’Adone and Pierre Corneille’s Le Cid, present the two visual modes as existing in tension, which I define as “baroque vision.” The analyses of the literary texts demonstrate how the integration of lenses, be it through explicit references to optical devices or through more abstract portrayals that parallel the operations of the eye and the instrument, becomes emblematic of other concerns, from debates regarding discontent about dissimulation to discussions of poetic practice.

Two-part compositions were one of the main means through which music was taught during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, and they therefore played an important role in preparing both professional and amateur musicians. The main focus of my work is formed by the published volumes of duos ranging in date from 1521, the year when the first collection was issued, to 1744, the date of publication of Angelo Bertalotti’s Solfeggi, though I also take into account duos published in musical treatises. The importance of duos during this period is evidenced by the number of extant collections - more than sixty in Italy alone - and these publications reveal an essential continuity in the teaching of music theory and practice over a period of 250 years. So far, only a fraction of the music used for this purpose has been studied by other scholars. During this period all two-part didactic music served consistent and well-defined functions: the teaching of note-values and solmization; the teaching of modality and composition; as the basis for practising both vocal and instrumental music. My thesis traces the history of the genre, analyses aspects of the compositional structure of duos and examines the detail the various functions of duos. It also considers the intended readership of volumes of duos, through study of the publishers, composers and dedicates involved.

This study focuses on Italy's transition to industrial modernity (in the years from the end of the Risorgimento to the rise of Fascism) from the perspective of some of its iconic objects: wristwatches, bicycles, cigarettes, and cameras. Through the combined analysis of their reception (engendering new social practices like tourism, sport, and photography) and their representation in contemporary art (literature, painting, photography), this research reconstructs the gradual transformation of Italy into a modern nation. These objects reveal a cultural laboratory of the nation's quest for a shared modern identity, both in the positive overlapping of tradition and modernity (challenging a polarized critical approach to the age), and in the interaction of concurring perspectives (derived from ads, newspapers, public debates, and literary and visual sources). By exploring the singular contrast between the social phantasmagoria surrounding these newly mass-produced items, and their striking symbolization in art as antiques, this study highlights a hidden moment of tension in the negotiation of modernity, which finds intellectual expression in the deliberate affinity of these objects with Baroque poetics. In reading the meaning of this reference to the 17th century, this work advances two main arguments. First, on an intellectual level, such allusions indicate not only, against the background of the coeval recovery of the 17th century, an important trait d'union between European and Italian Modernism, but also, against the background of the Italian scholarly debate regarding the Baroque (leading De Sanctis and Croce to equate it with their 'decadent' present), a significant instance for re-evaluating the vital or 'positive' aspect of the fin de siecle, challenging its established definition as Decadentism. Second, on a socio-cultural level, the experimental Baroque epistemology of these objects envisions, on a micro-scale, a peculiarly Italian quest for a singular modernity, which embraces the excitement of modernization while either containing it within the influence of the nation's past heritage, or re-elaborating it in new solutions.

Ce travail met en relief une relecture du Baroque, en particulier du courant culterano, qui a eu lieu au Mexique au début du 20e siècle. La génération d'écrivains réunis autour de la revue Contemporaneos joue un rôle central dans un mouvement de fond de récupération du lien avec la tradition de la Nouvelle Espagne, dont notamment la figure centrale de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Cette vision ample de l'histoire de la littérature du Mexique se centre plus précisément sur le rôle de deux poèmes, qui constituent des paradigmes des enjeux qu'un tel passage culturel implique, "Muerte sin fin" de José Gorostiza et "Primero Sueno" de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.

Na diversidade das postulações do (neo?) barroco latino-americano ensaiadas no século XX existe uma constante: o discurso político que é sobre-impresso à recepção das teorias européias do Barroco. A tese examina as relações entre essa politização, veiculada principalmente nos debates sobre a historiografia literária, e as representações da comida que aparecem em múltiplos textos ficcionais desde meados do século XIX até a década de 1970, sob a hipótese de que tal vinculação teria construído um complexo dispositivo retórico: uma retórica da comida que operaria politicamente no âmago da ficção. O objetivo não é demonstrar a hipótese, mas procurar estabelecer a possibilidade teórica dessa demonstração. A recepção na América Latina do barroco (como termo e como teoria) é examinada sob uma ótica heterodoxa, que tenta avaliar o papel do barroco na historiografia e nas leituras críticas do século XX. A proposta de análise das obras avança em torno de quatro tipos de representações da comida: a alimentação, a antropofagia, a fome e os banquetes. Trata-se, enfim, de uma leitura que, sem rejeitar totalmente as contribuições da historiografia nem as interpretações tradicionais, propõe conexões alternativas e singulares entre variadas obras de autores latino-americanos, por fora das limitações impostas nos modelos da literatura nacional ou da literatura continental
Within the diversity of new baroque Latin American postulations existing during the 20th century there is a constant: their political speech is submitted to the reception of European baroque theories. This paper analyzes the relationship between this politization diffused mainly throughout debates about literary historiography and the representation of food that appeared in different fictional texts since the middle of 19th century up to the seventieth of the 20th. That hypothesis sustained that such a linkage would erect a complex rhetorical mechanism --rhetoric of food-- which would politically act inside the essence of fiction. This paper aims to establish the theoretical possibility of this statement developing the topic in two parts. The first part refers to baroque reception in Latin America as a term and theory from a point of view of a heterodox perspective that tries to evaluate the roll of baroque in the historiography as well as in the critical readings all over the 20th. In the second part, the analysis of works proceeds around four types of food representation: alimentation, anthropophagi, starvation and banquets. Consequently, this paper is about a reading, which without refusing contributions made by historiography and traditional interpretations, proposes alternative and singular connections among a variety of works written by Latin American writers beyond the boundaries imposed in the patterns of national or continental literature

My dissertation examines concepts of creative agency in early modern thought and baroque poetics, with an emphasis on the theater of Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600-1681). Calderón and his contemporaries inherited from theology the idea that creative authority and power are concentrated in divinity, while humanity cannot, in a strict sense, create at all. While ancient philosophical and scriptural sources often describe a demiurgic God in anthropomorphic terms, the Christian doctrine of ex nihilo creation separates categorically an omnipotent deity from human "makers," who may refashion pre-given materials but not engender anything radically new. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, however, this hierarchy was challenged by literary, political, and psychological insights that endow humanity with an exalted creative potential and an enhanced efficient power over the world. As paradigmatic of this intellectual-historical movement towards the envisioning of a demiurgic humanity, I analyze the "human dignity" tradition and the literary-psychological discourse surrounding the faculty of the ingenio. The intersection of theological ideas with these currents of thought produces a fruitful tension in baroque literature, particularly in the work of Calderón. I argue that Calderón was deeply troubled by the Faustian undercurrent of his century, and that this concern plays out not only in his explorations of the question of poetic "darkness," but also in his treatment of biblical and mythological creator figures like Solomon, Nimrod, Prometheus, and the craftsmen of holy and idolatrous images. Throughout the thesis, I place Calderón's ideas on creative power and efficient knowledge or ciencias in relation to other early modern figures like Huarte de San Juan, Francis Bacon, and Giambattista Vico. This thesis is a contribution to the study of baroque poetics, of early modern Spanish theater, and of the place of aesthetics in the intellectual landscape of the seventeenth century.

This practice-led research project investigates ways to account for contemporary photographic practices that reside in the continuum between the representational and the abstract. As an inquiry with multiple entryways, it is an attempt to offer a language through which to describe and evaluate photography that is not easily situated in existing traditions. This thesis argues that photographs, which are difficult to locate through conventional readings, can call forth new ways of deciphering and translating our affective experience of everyday life and give voice to difference. This project is, therefore, also a generative contribution to the emergent literature on ordinary affects within the visual arts—a subject which has been more rigorously considered in literature, theatre, cinema, and philosophy. In offering new possibilities for thinking about contemporary photography, through analysing its technical means of production and the related conceptual implications, this research moves towards a better understanding of a photograph’s affective charge. As an interdisciplinary entanglement between philosophy, art theory, contemporary artworks, and a studio-based practice, this project does not seek to prove if something is true, but rather looks to challenge traditions, make new connections, and create lines of flight through unconventional assemblages. In drawing upon the work of Gilles Deleuze to map and contextualise the research findings, this thesis offers encounters that operate beyond representation to create new images of thought. Through examining the concepts of minor photography, the transnarrative televisual, and the baroque mise-en-scène, this research asserts the potential of expanded photographic practices to dismantle habits of perception and create alternative pathways for imagining the world.

L’objectif de cette thèse est de montrer que la réception de l’art baroque italien par Stendhal et les frères Goncourt a influencé dans une large mesure leurs esthétiques propres. La première partie resitue et restitue l’horizon d’attente propre à Stendhal et aux Goncourt, soit les systèmes et les paradigmes de référence artistiques, les ouvrages sur l’Italie ou sur Rome qu’ils avaient lus et les écrits sur l’art, en particulier sur l’art et les artistes baroques, dont le beyliste s’inspira, et qui favorisèrent la compréhension de l’art baroque. La deuxième partie porte sur quatre motifs de résistance au baroque. Nous y confrontons le discours et l’imaginaire français à l’art baroque afin de situer Stendhal et les Goncourt au sein de ce clivage. Cet ensemble de préjugés a paradoxalement mis en lumière les pouvoirs de séduction qu’avait pu exercer le baroque sur Stendhal et les Goncourt et fait ressortir les caractéristiques baroques susceptibles de se retrouver dans leurs romans. Enfin, nous avons établi des parallèles entre, d’une part, ce qui attira particulièrement Stendhal et les Goncourt dans l’art baroque et ce qu’ils en ont restitué dans leurs ouvrages, et entre l’art visuel et l’art littéraire baroques, d’autre part. Cette dernière partie, en révélant, dans les romans stendhaliens et goncourtiens, une poétique baroque nous a permis d’éclairer l’esthétique romanesque de nos auteurs
The purpose of this study is to show that Stendhal’s and the Goncourt brothers’ appreciation of Italian Baroque art exerted a decisive influence on their own aesthetics. Part one takes a look at Stendhal’s and the Goncourt brothers’ “horizon of expectations”, i. E. Artistic paradigms or references, what literature they read about Italy and Rome as well as writings on art, in particular Baroque art and artists, which inspired Stendhal and helped forge his understanding of Baroque Art. Part two explores four elements of resistance to the Baroque. This study goes on to compare conflicting French views and representations of Baroque art so as to identify Stendhal’s and the Goncourt brothers’ own position along this spectrum. Paradoxically, this set of anti-Baroque prejudices serves to shed light on the particular attraction the Baroque exerted on Stendhal and the Goncourt brothers and which Baroque characteristics are most likely to surface in their novels. The final part of this study draws parallels between the seduction Baroque art exerted on Stendhal and the Goncourt brothers and the way it manifested in their novels as well as between visual and literary Baroque art. Thus, by drawing attention to the presence of Baroque poetics in Stendhal’s and the Goncourt Brothers’ writings, this study sheds new light on their novelistic aesthetics

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo principal analisar o período literário conhecido como barroco em Portugal, relacionando as poesias deste período aos conceitos de gozo e amor na psicanálise. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisou-se o conceito de barroco e suas principais características. Para se obter um conhecimento do conceito de gozo na teoria psicanalítica, primeiramente, a pesquisa consta da leitura de dois textos fundamentais de Freud que dissertam sobre a pulsão: A pulsão e suas vicissitudes e Além do princípio do prazer. O teórico analisado a seguir é Lacan, que retoma e amplia este conceito freudiano até chegar a sua teoria sobre o gozo. Por fim, analisa-se a poesia seiscentista portuguesa a partir do conceito de gozo e amor
This thesis has as its main goal to analyze the literary period known as Baroque in Portugal, relating poetry of this period to the concepts of jouissance and love in Psychoanalysis. Through a thorough bibliographical research, the concept of Baroque and its major features have been established. To acquire the knowledge of the concept of jouissance in the psychoanalytic theory, first the research contains the reading of two fundamental texts by Freud that talk about the drive: Drive and its Vicissitudes and Beyond the Pleasure Principle. The following theoretical analyzed is Lacan, that resumes and expands this Freudian concept until it reaches his final Lacanian theory about jouissance. At last, the Portuguese poetry of the XVI century is carefully observed through the concepts of love and jouissance

Esta dissertação trata da discussão sobre alguns romances do padre Antônio da Fonseca Soares, autor que viveu por volta do século XVII. Os romances discutidos constam do manuscrito 392 da Sala de Reservados da Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra. Possuem um modo de expressão sensual-religioso, característica que se pode constatar a partir do léxico utilizado pelo autor e das estruturas sintáticas ambíguas encontradas em seus romances. O objetivo deste trabalho é tornar públicos os poemas de Fonseca, tomando-se como base alguns critérios da crítica textual e considerando-se a possibilidade da existência de mais de um autor com o mesmo nome, no seu tempo. Embora não se comprove a autoria, a opção feita foi a de perseguir a temática sensual e religiosa que perpassa os poemas, que são compostos segundo a prescrição de escrita do Barroco português. Quanto à metodologia e à organização, o trabalho está dividido em a) a pesquisa sobre o nome Antônio da Fonseca; b) a leitura e tratamento dos romances a partir dos manuscritos; c) atualização da ortografia d) contextualização histórica, visando a estabelecer um diálogo entre a obra do Padre e os referenciais literários de seu tempo; e) seleção dos romances de temática sensual; f) análise de três romances; e g) preparação de uma antologia, comentando características sensuais e religiosas empregadas pelo autor. A conclusão à qual se chegou é que a temática sensualidade / religiosidade, explorada pelo Padre Antônio da Fonseca, atua em consonância com a estética do Barroco, evidenciando a figura da antítese como o mais rico recurso estético deste rol de romances aqui trabalhados.
This dissertation treats about some novels written by the priest Antônio da Fonseca Soares, author who lived around the seventeenth century. The novels make part of the manuscript 392 of the Private Room of Coimbra University General Library, and they have a sensual-religous character, characteristic that can be noticed from the lexicon used by the author, and the ambiguous structures found out in his novels. The greatest scope of this work is becoming public the poems composed by Fonseca, basing on some criteria of textual review and considering the possibility of the existence of more than one author with the same name, specifically in that time. Although it's not proved the autorship, the option chosen was pursuing the sensual and religious thematic that are in those poems, which are composed according to the written prescription of the Portuguese (from Portugal) Baroque. As for the methodology and the organization, the work was divided in: a)the research about Antônio da Fonseca's name; b)reading and dealing with the novels from the manuscripts; c)updating the ortography; d)historical contextualization aiming to stablish a dialogue between the priest's work and the literary references from his time in the composition of the poems; e)Selection of the poems with the sensual thematic; f)analysis of three novels; g)preparation of an anthology making comments about the sensual and religious characteristics used by the author; It was possible to conclude that the sensuality/religiosity thematic, explored by the priest Antônio da Fonseca, acts together with the Baroque, showing up the antithesis figure as the richest aesthetic resource among the roll of novels which were developed in this work.

O objectivo do presente estudo prende-se com a divulgação e análise de um texto anónimo, com o título Finezas Venturosas, que se encontra inserido em um volume de manuscritos pertencente ao fundo de documentação patrimonial da Biblioteca Pública de Évora. Pretende-se realizar um trabalho de análise, numa primeira fase, dando a conhecer o texto e, posteriormente, estabelecer pontos de ligação com as Novelas Exemplares de Gaspar Pires de Rebelo através de estudo comparativo. Uma vez que trabalharemos com textos curtos, comummente denominados de “novelas exemplares”, será fundamental abordar as novelas, também exemplares, de Miguel de Cervantes. No final, tentaremos perceber se Finezas Venturosas se pode inserir no universo destas narrativas e quais as principais características da novela; Finezas Venturosas: a 17th century unpublished romance Abstract: The aim of this study is to fulfill the dissemination and analysis of an anonymous text, under the title Finezas Venturosas, which can be located in a manuscript volume belonging to the patrimonial documentation fund of the Public Library of Évora. In an early stage, the aim of this study is to perform an analysis, disclosing the text, and afterwards, to establish connection points with the Novelas Exemplares by Gaspar Pires de Rebelo through a comparative study. Since we will be working with short texts, commonly known as “exemplary novels”, it would be therefore fundamental to approach the novels, also exemplary, by Miguel de Cervantes. Finally, we will try to acknowledge if Finezas Venturosas could be embedded in the universe of such narratives and the main characteristics of the novel.

Esta tese ocupa-se da investigação da semiótica da agudeza, utilizando como corpus poemas do final do século XX, chamados neobarrocos, e fragmentos de Galáxias, de Haroldo de Campos, e Finnegans1Wake, de James Joyce. As recepções contemporâneas aos séculos XVI e XVII não entendem as produções literárias como barrocas, mas como clássicas, diferentemente, portanto, do valor atribuído ao estado de barroco constante dos textos da crítica do século XX. Da investigação das obras de Peregrini, Gracián, Hansen e Pécora, depreende-se a agudeza como sistematizadora das produções barrocas dos seiscentos. Além disso, esta pesquisa constata não a presença eufórica de barroco sincrônico ou a existência de um possível neobarroco, mas gradações da agudeza como um operador formal da poesia dita barroquista. Com base nessa agudeza, propõe-se, dentro do quadro teórico-metodológico da semiótica tensiva, demonstrar como essa poesia, vista por muitos críticos como neobarroca, é regida segundo uma oscilação que a regula, reconhecendo nela uma dominância de agudeza do plano da expressão (PE) e/ou uma dominância de agudeza do plano do conteúdo (PC). Observadas as propriedades da agudeza, os objetos poéticos apresentam diferenças tensivas que os encaminham para uma poesia que conhece a graduação entre mais fluida e mais nítida, manifestando diferenças de acentuação no obscurecimento formal do enunciado. O enunciador, ao privilegiar a vivificação das agudezas, promove uma tensão estetizante: um jogo entre o rápido prazer da conservação sensível e o demorado prazer do reconhecimento inteligível do objeto estético, dois tipos diferentes de fruição. Dividida em cinco capítulos, a tese aborda inicialmente a ausência e a presença do recorte de barroco nos estudos literários, bem como a dominância do sobrevir nos semas de barroco e a sincronia e diacronia dos estados de barroco em direção a uma agudeza idiossincrônica. Em seguida, examina o jogo tensivo entre agudeza da expressão e agudeza do conteúdo, focalizando sobretudo os tratadistas seiscentistas e as propriedades da agudeza. Ocupa-se também da negação da euforia barroquista em direção à visualidade na poesia da agudeza. Como o conceito de neobarroco varia de autor para autor, examina-se o ponto de vista de Umberto Eco, Omar Calabrese, Severo Sarduy, Lezama Lima, Alejo Carpentier, Haroldo de Campos, Affonso Ávila, Affonso Romano SantAnna, Horácio Costa, Ana Hatherly, Ivan Teixeira, para estabelecer um modelo mais conforme à semiótica tensiva. A tese trata ainda dos limites entre sensível e inteligível na poesia aguda do século XX, realizando uma recapitulação da fenomenologia em diálogo com a semiótica tensiva, da qual sobressai o conceito de fé perceptiva e de perobjeto zilberberguiano. Finalmente, entra em cena a agudeza do final do século XX na direção do objeto fluido.
This thesis is concerned with the investigation of semiotics of sharpness. Its corpus consists of poems from the late 20th century which are called \"neo-baroque\", and fragments of Haroldo de Campos Galáxias and James Joyces Finnegans Wake. Contemporary receptions to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries do not understand the literary productions as baroque, but as classical, therefore unlike the value assigned to the \"state of baroque\" in critical texts of the 20th century. Sharpness is inferred from the research of the works of Peregrini, Gracián, Hansen and Pécora as systematizing baroque productions of the 1600s. Furthermore, this research finds not the euphoric presence of synchronous baroque or the existence of a possible neo-baroque but gradations of sharpness as a formal operator of the so-called baroqueist poetry. Based on this sharpness, and within the theoretical and methodological framework of tensive semiotics, it is proposed to demonstrate how this poetry, regarded by many critics as \"neo-baroque\", is governed according to an oscillation that regulates it, recognizing in it a sharpness dominance of the level of expression (PE plano da expressão) and / or a sharpness dominance of the level of content (PC plano do conteúdo). Once observed the properties of sharpness, poetic objects show tensive differences that forward them for a poetry that knows the graduation from more fluent to more clear, manifesting differences of emphasis in the formal obscuration of the enunciation. The enunciator, while privileging the enlivenment of sharpness, promotes aesthetic tension: a game between the quick pleasure of sensitive conservation and delayed enjoyment of intelligible recognition of the aesthetic object two different types of enjoyment. Divided into five chapters, the thesis first addresses the absence and the presence of baroque slice in literary studies as well as the dominance of occurrence in baroque units of meaning and the synchrony and diachrony of baroque states towards an idiosynchronic sharpness. Then it examines the tensive game between sharpness of expression and sharpness of content, particularly focusing on the seventeenth-century treatise writers and the properties of sharpness. It also deals with the denial of baroqueist euphoria towards the visuality in the poetry of sharpness. As the concept of \"neo-baroque\" varies from author to author, the thesis examines the viewpoint of Umberto Eco, Omar Calabrese, Severo Sarduy, Lezama Lima, Alejo Carpentier, Haroldo de Campos, Alfonso Ávila, Affonso Romano Sant\'Anna, Horácio Costa, Ana Hatherly, Ivan Teixeira, in order to establish a model more consistent with tensive semiotics. It also addresses the boundaries between sensible and intelligible in the sharp poetry of the 20th century, making a recapitulation of phenomenology in a dialogue with tensive semiotics, from which the concepts of perceptual faith and zilberbergian perobject stand out. Finally, the sharpness of the late 20th century comes into play towards the fluid object.

This dissertation studies the uses of silence in a corpus of Baroque poems about portraits and funerary monuments. I explore silence as a dynamic, dialogic space where poetic voice, implicit reader and work of art interact. Within these poetic texts --written between 1599 and 1650 by poets from Francisco de Rioja to Quevedo or Góngora-- I focus on the question of representation: how, in ekphrastic texts, silence--whether the silence of the poet or that if the object he is describing--reveals certain anxieties about representation. Using enargeia --lifelike vividness--the Baroque poet searches for a new poetic art in which the `speech' of the portrayed breaks the ultimate silence of death. My critical discussion is rooted in an extensive corpus of seventeenth-century poems, an awareness of the moral implications of silence in Spanish Baroque philosophy, and in recent theoretical discussion of intermediality and ekphrasis, such as Mitchell's theory of ekphrasis and otherness (1994), and Foucault's concept of heterotopy (1986). My dissertation also examines the role of silence in its relation to the ideas of presence and absence in funerary ekphrasis, which includes the poetical description of tombs, as well as in the genre of laudatory ekphrasis and the poetical epitaph. I analyze the relationship between these instances of ekphrasis and the visual representations of silence in several books of emblems by Alciato, Kircher, and Vaenius, published in Europe between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. My dissertation demonstrates how silence is a central concept of Baroque aesthetics that identifies fictional representation with a "teacher of truth," and functions as a vehicle for the acquisition of moral knowledge in the context of the Baroque idea of desengaño, thus siding with the objectives of the Spanish Counter-Reformation

Les romans fantastiques de Marcel Brion sont aujourd'hui peu lus. Cet auteur a été globalement peu étudié par les universitaires français, peu pris en compte par les théoriciens du fantastique, ce qui place l'oeuvre en situation de marginalité. Cela tient peut-être à ce que Liliane Brion-Guerry appelle les " qualités particulières " du fantastique brionien. Quelles sont les caractéristiques de ce fantastique ? Ce travail a pour but d'étudier comment Marcel Brion, dans ses romans, écrits entre 1929 et 1984, interroge le réel, installe un" autre côté", propose au lecteur d'abandonner les conceptions habituelles et de se mettre à la recherches des dimensions cachées de 1 'homme et du monde. Proche des écrivains pour lesquels " la dimension métaphysique est englobée dans l'expérience fantastique ", Marcel Brion place ses personnages dans le jeu des métamorphoses et du voyage initiatique, les fait évoluer dans un univers où s'impose la mythologie des labyrinthes intérieurs et extérieurs. Dans les romans où l'esthétique prend une place considérable, se manifeste un esprit particulier que le lecteur peut situer sur les frontières du baroque et du romantisme, ces deux catégories n'étant pas prises dans leur dimension historique mais révélatrices d'un état de la conscience humaine.

Resumo: Esta dissertação trata da discussão sobre alguns romances do padre Antônio da Fonseca Soares, autor que viveu por volta do século XVII. Os romances discutidos constam do manuscrito 392 da Sala de Reservados da Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra. Possuem um modo de expressão sensual-religioso, característica que se pode constatar a partir do léxico utilizado pelo autor e das estruturas sintáticas ambíguas encontradas em seus romances. O objetivo deste trabalho é tornar públicos os poemas de Fonseca, tomando-se como base alguns critérios da crítica textual e considerando-se a possibilidade da existência de mais de um autor com o mesmo nome, no seu tempo. Embora não se comprove a autoria, a opção feita foi a de perseguir a temática sensual e religiosa que perpassa os poemas, que são compostos segundo a prescrição de escrita do Barroco português. Quanto à metodologia e à organização, o trabalho está dividido em a) a pesquisa sobre o nome Antônio da Fonseca; b) a leitura e tratamento dos romances a partir dos manuscritos; c) atualização da ortografia d) contextualização histórica, visando a estabelecer um diálogo entre a obra do Padre e os referenciais literários de seu tempo; e) seleção dos romances de temática sensual; f) análise de três romances; e g) preparação de uma antologia, comentando características sensuais e religiosas empregadas pelo autor. A conclusão à qual se chegou é que a temática sensualidade / religiosidade, explorada pelo Padre Antônio da Fonseca, atua em consonância com a estética do Barroco, evidenciando a figura da antítese como o mais rico recurso estético deste rol de romances aqui trabalhados.
Abstract: This dissertation treats about some novels written by the priest Antônio da Fonseca Soares, author who lived around the seventeenth century. The novels make part of the manuscript 392 of the Private Room of Coimbra University General Library, and they have a sensual-religous character, characteristic that can be noticed from the lexicon used by the author, and the ambiguous structures found out in his novels. The greatest scope of this work is becoming public the poems composed by Fonseca, basing on some criteria of textual review and considering the possibility of the existence of more than one author with the same name, specifically in that time. Although it's not proved the autorship, the option chosen was pursuing the sensual and religious thematic that are in those poems, which are composed according to the written prescription of the Portuguese (from Portugal) Baroque. As for the methodology and the organization, the work was divided in: a)the research about Antônio da Fonseca's name; b)reading and dealing with the novels from the manuscripts; c)updating the ortography; d)historical contextualization aiming to stablish a dialogue between the priest's work and the literary references from his time in the composition of the poems; e)Selection of the poems with the sensual thematic; f)analysis of three novels; g)preparation of an anthology making comments about the sensual and religious characteristics used by the author; It was possible to conclude that the sensuality/religiosity thematic, explored by the priest Antônio da Fonseca, acts together with the Baroque, showing up the antithesis figure as the richest aesthetic resource among the roll of novels which were developed in this work.

Resumo: "Combate ao mundo e conquista do paraíso: ficção e alegoria no Compêndio Narrativo do Peregrino da América" têm por objetivo o estudo do ficcional e do alegórico do Compêndio Narrativo do Peregrino da América, em que tratão vários discursos espirituais, e moraes com muitas advertências, e documentos contras os abusos, que se achão introduzidos pela malicia diabólica no Estado do Brasil, escrito por Nuno Marques Pereira, e publicado pela primeira vez em 1728. O livro narra a viagem de um Peregrino da Bahia às Minas de Ouro, e o tema da peregrinação justifica o relato da viagem ao longo da qual o Peregrino se vê diante de espaços e personagens fictícios que são objeto de moralização e servem de pretexto para explicar a doutrina cristã. Sua ideia central é o tema do homo viator, isto é, o ser humano está na terra apenas em peregrinação para o céu, sua verdadeira morada. Esta concepção está também ligada a uma consciência de crise, traduzida na visão do mundo como local desordenado e perigoso, no qual, aquele nele viaja, procura encontrar uma saída para o desconcerto reinante na terra. O Peregrino, em grande luta contra as tentações do mundo, segue adiante o seu caminho guiado pela fé e pela graça de Deus, transformando-se num símbolo de persistência e de vitória da vontade sobre as forças do mal. A narrativa é instrumento de demonstração de ideias e meio de exemplificação de doutrinas com uma função persuasiva clara: o autor recorre às auctoritates, a exemplos retirados da experiência cotidiana do século XVIII, além de adequar as alegorias e exemplos ao diálogo, com o objetivo de atrair os infiéis e pecadores que viviam na Colônia para a doutrina católica, fazendo-os renunciar aos maus costumes e levá-los a alcançar à pátria celestial. O livro deve ser lido tendo como pano de fundo as repercussões que o movimento da Contrarreforma e os ecos do Concílio de Trento tiveram em nível da produção artística no mundo católico, e as intenções pedagógico-didáticas subjacentes à sua composição está fundamentado na crença de que a arte poderia constituir um eficaz instrumento de reconversão dos fiéis e de doutrinamento nos valores da fé católica: docere, movere, delectare, visados pela obra de arte deste período, são também os objetivos que o Peregrino da América almeja alcançar
Abstract: "Combating the World and Conquering Paradise: Fiction and Allegory in the Pilgrim of America]" seeks to investigate the fictional and allegorical nature of the Compêndio Narrativo do Peregrino da América, em que tratão vários discursos espirituais, e moraes com muitas advertencias, e documentos contras os abusos, que se achão introduzidos pela malicia diabolica no Estado do Brasil [A Narrative Compendium of the Pilgrim of America, in which are addressed a sundry of spiritual and moral discourses, with a number of admonitions and documents against the abuses which have been introduced by the devilish evil into the State of Brazil], written by Nuno Marques Pereira, and first published in 1728. The book narrates the travel of a Pilgrim from Bahia to the Golden Mines; and the pilgrimage topic underlies the account of the trip during which the Pilgrim is faced with fictional spaces and characters, used for moralizing purposes and which serve as grounds for explaining the Christian doctrine. Its pivotal idea is the theme of homo viator, which means human beings are on Earth basically as pilgrims towards Heaven, their real abode. Such concept is also linked to a consciousness of crisis, which translates into a view of the world as a disorderly and perilous place, in which those who travel through attempt to find a way out of the reigning disarray on Earth. The Pilgrim faces fierce struggles against worldly temptations, and forges ahead on his path guided by Faith and the grace of God; and he turns into a symbol of persistence and victory of will against the powers of Evil. The narrative is an instrument to demonstrate ideas and a means to exemplify doctrines with a clear persuasive function: the author refers to the auctoritates, to examples drawn from the everyday experiences of the 18th century, and also adapts allegories and exempla to the dialogues with the intent of luring infidels and sinners living in the Colony into the Catholic doctrine, steering them away from bad practices and leading them to the heavenly country. When reading this book one must bear in mind the aftermath of the Counter Reformation movement and the echoes from the Council of Trent; and the repercussions they had on the artistic production in the Catholic world; and that the pedagogical-didactic intents underlying its making are grounded on the belief that art could be an effective tool for reconverting the faithful and for indoctrination in the values of the Catholic faith: docere, movere, delectare, aimed by art works of that period, are also the objectives the Pilgrim of America seeks to achieve

I will build an argument utilizing the Hôtel de Soubise as a case study for the way in which the division between exteriors and interiors depicts the shifting cultural fabric of 18th-century French society.

La thèse a pour but la reconstruction historiographique de la réception des Mémoires byzantines de S. Syropoulos, en Europe, dans le XVIIème siècle. Depuis les remarques faites par V. Laurent dans son édition (1971), la recherche entend reconsidérer les acquisitions antérieures sur la fortune de ce texte, pendant la publication de l’editio princeps en 1660, v. Introduction. À travers l’histoire de la découverte du manuscrit BNF, Paris. gr. 427, on ira à reconstruire l’épisode propagandiste qui a donné lieu à l'intérêt érudit pour la narration florentine de Syropoulos, v. Ch. I; un commentaire aux épîtres relatif à l’iter éditorial suivi pour la princeps donnera aussi des détails sur les érudits engagés, v. Ch. II; enfin, un examen philologique et historique de la version latine du texte grec, interdit par l’Inquisition de Rome en 1682, v. Ch. III. En plus, la thèse presentera la première transcription de la versio latine inédite conservée dans le manuscrit BNF, Paris. Suppl. gr. 317 (sectiones II, IV, IX), avec introduction. Les résultats montrent comment la critique textuelle et la propagande, dansl’édition byzantine de cette oeuvre, ont contribuées à la constitution d'une méthode ecdotique raffinée, plus tard encodée dans la définition des critères scientifiques de la pratique philologique et historiographique
The aim of the dissertation is to outline the historical reception of S. Syropoulos’ byzantine Mémoires, in Europe, during the XVIIth century. Following the notes proposed by V. Laurent in his edition (1971), the research intends to reconsider the previous data collected on the fortune of the text, especially at the age of the editio princeps publication (1660), see Introduction. The episode of the first rediscovery of the manuscript BNF, Paris. gr. 427 will be useful to delineate the propagandistic climate in which the text was read and excerpted, see Ch. I; a comment on an important epistolary dossier will provide an insight on the publishing iter of the editio, and, above all, about the people involved, see Ch. II; lastly, a philological and historiographical analysis of the latin versio, prohibited by the roman Inquisition in 1682, see Ch. III. In addition, the thesis presents the first transcription of the unpublished latin version (sections II, IV, IX) preserved in the manuscript BNF, Paris. Suppl. gr. 317, with introduction. The results proves how textual criticism and propaganda — for the edition of this byzantine major oeuvre — actively contributed to established a philological method surprisingly refined, later heightened with the definition of the common criteria typically used by modern literary criticism and historiography

Le présent travail propose la première édition critique, annotée et commentée, de Trabajos del vicio (Madrid, 1680) écrite, comme il est démontré, par le prédicateur et frère augustin Simón de Castelblanco. Par une approche ecdotique — en lien avec les deux disciplines complémentaires que sont la bibliographie documentaire et la critique textuelle —, il a été possible de clarifier l'histoire du texte et d‘identifier son véritable auteur. La phase de la recensio révèle qu'il existe une édition de l‘œuvre de 1680 et une « émission » de 1684 qui présente deux états d‘édition. Ces émissions sont le produit de la stratégie commerciale orchestrée par l'éditeur Lorenzo García et le libraire Juan Fernández pour remédier à l'échec financier qu'a dû représenter la commercialisation de l'œuvre. Le texte critique, accompagné d'un important appareil de notes, a été rigoureusement établi à partir de l'exemplaire numérisé du BDH (R-8617) de l’editio princeps. Compte tenu de la rareté des ouvrages philologiques sur l'auteur et l'œuvre, l'étude préliminaire a mobilisé différentes sources documentaires telles que des catalogues biobibliographiques ou des recueils sur les frères augustins pour traiter en profondeur les aspects liés à la biographie et à l'œuvre de Simón de Castelblanco. En outre, par l‘étude de la réception de l‘œuvre et l‘analyse comparative avec d‘autres romans baroques, Trabajos del vicio s‘inscrit dans le corpus du « long roman » du dernier quart du XVIIe siècle, caractérisé par une littérature représentative d‘une morale ascétique forte
This work proposes the first critical edition, with annotations and introductory study, of Trabajos del vicio, afanes del amor vicioso (Madrid, 1680), written, as well demonstrated, by the Augustinian friar and preacher Simon de Castelblanco. Following ecdotic procedures - in connection with two complementary disciplines such as material bibliography and textual criticism - it has been possible to clarify the history of the text and prove its true author. The phase of the recensio reveals the existence of an edition of 1680, and an issue of 1684, which presents two states of edition. The issue is the product of the commercial strategy orchestrated by the printer-publisher Lorenzo García and the bookseller Juan Fernández with the intention of overcoming the lucrative failure that the commercialization of the novel must have entailed. The critical text, accompanied by an extensive annotation apparatus, has been rigorously fixed from the digitized copy of the BDH (R-8617), after verifying the equality of the rest of the copies. Given the scarcity of philological studies on the author and the novel, the preliminary study has used different documentary sources such as bio-bibliographic sourcebooks and compendia on Augustinian friars, dealing in depth with aspects related to the biography and work of Simon de Castelblanco. Likewise, through the perspective of the reception studies and the comparative analysis with other contemporary novels, Trabajos del vicio is framed within the corpus of the ―long novelǁ of the last quarter of the 17th century, characterized by an exemplary literature of strong ascetic morality

Ce travail met sur un plan de comparaison deux auteurs apparemment écartées l’un de l’autre: C.E.Gadda et M.Merleau-Ponty. La "Meditazione Milanes"e constitue le premier plan d'approche entre eux: écrite dans le cadre de l’éventuel diplôme de Gadda en philosophie, ce texte est aussi point de référence et de départ de son œuvre littéraire, plus connue et importante. Sur les rélations entre philosophie et littérature s'axe la confrontation avec Merleau-Ponty, qui pérçoit l’exigence d’élargir le domaine de la philosophie à l'art, et la littérature notamment. La première partie, «Une phénoménologie», analyse d'abord la problématique posée à la philosophie et à la littérature par la phénoménologie, et se concentre ensuite sur la comparaison entre la conception merleau-pontienne de corps et les propositions corporelles présentées dans l’œuvre de Gadda.La deuxième partie, «Le baroque», scrute de près les structures du baroque (gaddien et merleau-pontien) à travers l’analyse des notions de structure et de monade, puis des problématiques liées à l’expression et au travail de Saussure; ensuite introduit les thèmes de la multiplicité et du devenir à partir de la confrontation des deux auteurs avec le langage cinématographique. Le chapitre final approfondit le thème gaddien du rapport entre totalité et multiplicité par le biais des figures merleau-pontiennes du chiasme et de la chair, et montre tout acte de language comme déformation, c'est-à-dire tant comme création que comme passivité, où le silence est cosubstantiel aux paroles
This doctoral thesis conducts a comparison between two authors seemingly distant from each other: C. E. Gadda and M. Merleau-Ponty. The Meditazione milanese represents a first step of approximation between them: written by Gadda with a view to his eventual philosophy degree, this text is also the point of departure of his more noted and important literary work. The comparison with Merleau-Ponty is based on the relationship between philosophy and literature, as, like Gadda, Merleau-Ponty maintains that philosophy must abandon its conceptual vocabulary in order to broaden its own horizon towards art and literature in particular. Entitled “A Phenomenology”, the first part of this thesis analyses above all the contribution of phenomenology to philosophy and literature; subsequently, it concentrates on the analogies between Merleau-Ponty’s notion of the body and the theme of corporeality as it is present in Gadda’s writings. The second part, “The Baroque”, scrutinises the baroque structures evident in the works of Gadda and Merleau-Ponty by examining the ideas of the system and the monad; it then broadens the topic of language on the grounds of F. Saussure’s Cours de linguistique; finally, departing from an engagement with cinematic language, it introduces the themes of multiplicity and becoming which the two authors have in common. The final chapter deepens Gadda’s concern with the relationship between totality and multiplicity through Merleau-Ponty’s figures of the chiasm and the flesh, describing every linguistic and expressive act as a deformation, i.e. as a movement which is both creation and passivity, where silence is the co-substance of words
Questo lavoro mette a confronto due autori apparentemente distanti tra loro: C.E Gadda e M. Merleau-Ponty. La Meditazione milanese costituisce un primo livello di accostamento tra loro: questo testo, scritto da Gadda in previsione dell'eventuale laurea in filosofia, è anche il punto di partenza della sua opera letteraria, più nota e importante.Sulla relazione tra filosofia e letteratura si struttura il confronto con Merleau-Ponty, il quale, al pari di Gadda, ritiene che la filosofia debba rinunciare ad un vocabolario concettuale, per allargare il proprio orizzonte all'arte, e alla letteratura in particolare.La prima parte di questo lavoro, “Una fenomenologia”, analizza anzitutto il contributo della fenomenologia alla filosofia e letteratura; si concentra in seguito sulle analogie tra la nozione merleau-pontiana di corpo e le tematiche della corporeità presenti negli scritti di Gadda.La seconda parte, “il barocco”, scruta le strutture del barocco (gaddiano e merleau-pontiano) attraverso l'analisi delle nozioni di sistema e di monade; approfondisce poi il tema del linguaggio sulla base del Cours de linguistique di Saussure; introduce infine i temi della molteplicità e del divenire a partire da un confronto con il linguaggio cinematografico, comune ai due autori. Il capitolo conclusivo, approfondisce il problema gaddiano del rapporto tra la totalità e la molteplicità attraverso le figure merleau-pontiane del chiasma e della carne, e mostra ogni atto linguistico ed espressivo come una deformazione, ovvero come un movimento che è insieme creazione e passività, dove il silenzio è consustanziale alle parole

Dans les sciences humaines, le travail du négatif est une notion qui appartient surtout aux domaines philosophiques et psychanalytiques. En tenant compte de cette filiation, sa pertinence dans le champ littéraire se révèle également effective. En effet, lorsque l’on confronte l’idée à l’œuvre romanesque de Réjean Ducharme, l’action du travail du négatif rend compte des enjeux souterrains de cette écriture. Ainsi, le texte apparaît comme le lieu de l’instabilité où chacune des composantes donne à voir son envers et où les contradictions coexistent. Dans cette dynamique, les trois catégories du récit vacillent : elles sont sculptées dans une autre matière que celle qu’on leur assigne généralement. Dans un même élan, le style ducharmien s’empare du travail du négatif en défigeant le mot, en resémantisant la phrase, en offrant à la parole le pouvoir d’avoir un impact sur le réel. Tout est conçu pour échapper à la fixité. Construits de la sorte, les romans véhiculent une vision du monde tragique. Cette dernière, à travers l’acte de lecture, se voit pétrie par le grotesque et engendre alors un fatum qui s’apparente à l’uniformisation. Cette réalité dévoile, paradoxalement, un univers en déséquilibre qui fait écho à l’étymologie du mot baroque, « perle irrégulière ». Le texte ducharmien est donc le carrefour de plusieurs esthétiques qui possèdent toutes, en leur essence, un mouvement semblable au travail du négatif. Celui-ci peut être perçu, dans tous les cas, comme un révélateur de littérarité. Il opère, d’ailleurs, de cette manière, dans d’autres œuvres francophones, notamment dans celles de Rachid Boudjedra, de Maurice Bandaman et de Dominique Rolin
In Human Sciences, the work of the negative is a concept which mainly belongs to the philosophical and psychoanalytical fields. Taking into account this relationship, its relevance in the literary field also proves effective. Indeed, when this notion is applied to the novels of Réjean Ducharme, the action of the work of the negative reveals the underground stakes of the author’s work. Thus, his writing takes us constantly back and forth between all the opposed elements which populate it. Ducharme’s texts are a place of instability, where each component shows its hidden side and where contradictions shaped by the process of involution coexist. Within this dynamic, the narrative mode loses its equilibrium: time, space and characters are sculpted with very unusual clay. In the same spirit, Ducharme’s writing style seizes the work of the negative by loosening words, and giving a new meaning to sentences, by offering to the word the power of having an impact on reality. Everything is designed to escape immobility. Novels built on this pattern convey a tragic vision of the world; a vision which through the act of reading finds itself steeped in the grotesque and therefore generates a fatum, which is very similar to sameness. Paradoxically, this reality unveils an unbalanced world and echoes the baroque word "irregular pearl" in its etymological meaning. Ducharme’s writing is at a crossroad between several aesthetics, whose quintessential principles are similar to the work of the negative. The latter can be perceived as an indicator of literariness and can be found in some of other French works, including those of Rachid Boudjedra, Maurice Bandaman and Dominique Rolin

Cette thèse est le fruit d'une étude comparative de la peinture et de la poésie des XVIe et XVIIe siècles. Dans ce document, la poésie et la peinture se répondent, s'entrecroisent, s'éclairent à tour de rôle, grâce à une analyse comparée des similitudes et différences qu'elles expriment sur le même thème, qui est le portrait satirique baroque. Notre étude est ancrée dans une approche esthétique de l'univers visuel baroque, et met l'accent sur la réception des œuvres d'art par le spectateur. Quant à la poésie, nous nous éloignerons du modèle classique de la satire, pour pénétrer la littérature satirique, riche d'une langue imagée, et bien souvent obscène. Notre thèse est composée de cinq chapitres. Nous donnerons tout d'abord une définition du portrait en poésie et en peinture. Dans un deuxième temps, nous montrerons qu'en représentant un individu, l'artiste dévoile également son âme, et que, dans cette époque tourmentée, l'âme apparaît à travers laideur et difformité dans les portraits sociaux et misogynes. Le troisième chapitre sera consacré à la notion d'esthétique paradoxale, qui montre l'homme et l'univers de façon renversée, comme un écho au monde bouleversé du tournant de XVIème siècle, avec les conséquences que cela implique sur le récepteur de l'œuvre d'art. Nous analyserons ensuite plus particulièrement la poésie misogyne de Sigogne, avant de conclure notre travail sur l'étude du monde fantastique et surnaturel qui s'empare de sa poésie, et de la poésie baroque de manière générale.

La figure du migrant est centrale dans l'œuvre de Salman Rushdie. Noyau d'un dispositif narratif, rhétorique, philosophique et métaphysique, elle organise une vision du monde orientée par ce qu'Edouard Glissant nomme le " nomadisme circulaire ". Dans ce monde baroque, instable et chancelant, le vacillement est maintenu par la convergence du centre et de la périphérie, qui deviennent deux formes du bord. Le transport est le nom que le grec donne à la métaphore : chez Salman Rushdie, c'est aussi le migrant. Figure de rhétorique, la métaphore relève d'un mode fondé sur la substitution et la rupture, d'après David Lodge, avec Jakobson. Inséparable de la métonymie, dont le mode est associé à la combinaison et la contiguïté, elle donne forme verbale et énergie à la puissance évocatrice et imaginatrice qui se manifeste dans les romans de Salman Rushdie. Cette énergie se fait véhicule d'un conatus centrifuge qui attire l'écriture vers les marges. Le bord s'inscrit dans la dialectique de la continuité et de la discontinuité en tant qu'il est commencement et fin. Il s'incarne dans le corps, dans divers lieux métaphoriques et poétiques, et dans des personnages appartenant tous à un entre-deux, à une réalité hybride qui favorise le basculement et le désordre. Cette thèse analysera dans quelle mesure les avatars du bord géographique, rhétorique et sémantique font prospérer une écriture génératrice d'une prolifération de sens et d'une poétique au cœur de laquelle la recherche de la " métaphore vive " [chère à Paul Ricoeur] participe d'un vertige des marges].

The exponential figure of Greg?rio de Matos e Guerra has been subject of many theoretical discussions through the years, since his apparition in a public place, in the 19th century, and even more, during the 20th century, when he was salvaged by the modernist vanguard. As a result, there are yet two antagonist points of view linked to Greg?rio de Matos, on one side, there some researchers who defend him, on the other, some of them attack him. The first ones say this poet from Bahia was the first literary voice in Brazil, from the Baroque basis, while the last ones say he is a merely plagiarist of the Spanish poets from the 17th century, without a real contribution to the development of Brazilian Literature. With this in mind, this thesis follows the perspective this poet is an anthropophagus-baroque, devouring cultures, with an active participation in the process of our cultural and literary identity. For that reason, it was made a literature review about the biography of this poet trying to break romantic descriptions, emphasizing some scientific facts that can contribute to present the baroque profile of this poet. In this sense, it was discussed the History of Literature focused on this creole poet, mainly based on the historians point of view about the Gregorian poetry in the formation of Brazilian Literature scenery. In the defense of the hypothesis that Greg?rio de Matos was our first anthropophagus, this work aims to analyze how his poetry reveals the intrinsic characteristics of Baroque and Anthropophagy, focusing its carnivalesque aspect, showing to the world, with a satiric tone, the idiosyncrasies of human life. In this way, analyzing this corpus in Spanish is the strength of this thesis because, besides it is previously unpublished, it contributes to the comprehension of the anthropophagy as a theoretical mechanism that explains the process of formation of our cultural literary identity. Then, we have Augusto de Campos (1968; 1978; 1984; 1986; 1988), Haroldo de Campos (1976; 2010a; 2010b; 2011), Severo Sarduy ([1988?]), Oswald de Andrade (1945; 1978; 2006), Mikhail Bakhtin (2010), Octavio Paz (1979), Segismundo Spina (1980; 1995; 2008), Afr?nio Coutinho (1986a; 1986b; 1994), Affonso ?vila (1994; 1997; 2004; 2008), among others, to constitute this theoretical scenery. The Gregorian poetry, in this way, have contributed to the formation of baroque-anthropophagic scenery in Brazilian boundaries, with a special attention to the transition of time, because he is not only from the 17th century, established by the historiography, but his work is present nowadays due to the contemporaneously of his themes, centered to the eternal doubts of baroque man
A figura exponencial de Greg?rio de Matos e Guerra tem sido motivo de muitas discuss?es te?ricas ao longo dos anos, desde o seu aparecimento em pra?a p?blica, no s?culo XIX, e ainda mais, no s?culo XX, quando foi resgatado pela vanguarda modernista. Resultado disso, ainda existem dois lados antag?nicos quando se trata de Greg?rio de Matos, os que o defendem e os que o acusam. Os primeiros defendem a posi??o de que o poeta baiano foi a primeira voz liter?ria no Brasil, al?ada sob as bases do Barroco, e os outros o acusam de ser ele um mero imitador dos poetas espanh?is do s?culo XVII, sem, portanto, ter contribu?do significativamente para a forma??o da Literatura Brasileira. Esta tese, por sua vez, segue o pensamento daqueles que defendem o poeta como barroco-antropof?gico, devorador de culturas, com participa??o ativa no processo de forma??o da nossa identidade cultural e liter?ria. Para esse fim, foi feito um rastreamento das biografias do poeta a fim de que muitas das descri??es rom?nticas ali presentes fossem desromantizadas dando ?nfase aos aspectos biogr?ficos mais cient?ficos que contribu?ssem para compor o perfil do poeta barroco. Nesse mesmo sentido, foi discutido o olhar da Hist?ria da Literatura sobre o poeta mazombo, especificamente observando a posi??o dos historiadores sobre a poesia gregoriana no cen?rio da forma??o da Literatura Brasileira. A fim de defender a hip?tese de que Greg?rio de Matos foi nosso primeiro antrop?fago, este trabalho procurou observar como seus poemas revelam as caracter?sticas intr?nsecas do Barroco e da Antropofagia, com evid?ncia na sua vertente carnavalizante, expondo ao mundo, satiricamente, os interst?cios da vida humana. E nesse percurso, a an?lise do corpus em espanhol ? um dos pontos altos da tese porque, al?m de ser in?dita, contribui para a compreens?o da antropofagia como mecanismo te?rico que explica a forma??o da nossa identidade liter?rio-cultural. Assim, s?o convidados para compor a cena te?rica Augusto de Campos (1968; 1978; 1984; 1986; 1988), Haroldo de Campos (1976; 2010a; 2010b; 2011), Severo Sarduy ([1988?]), Oswald de Andrade (1945; 1978; 2006), Mikhail Bakhtin (2010), Octavio Paz (1979), Segismundo Spina (1980; 1995; 2008), Afr?nio Coutinho (1986a; 1986b; 1994), Affonso ?vila (1994; 1997; 2004; 2008), entre outros. A poesia gregoriana, sob esse aspecto, contribuiu para a composi??o do cen?rio barrocoantropof?gico em solo brasileiro, com sentido especial para o car?ter transtemporal que lhe ? dado, uma vez que n?o est? s? no Seiscentos, nas amarras da historiografia, mas tamb?m est? presente hoje na atualidade de seus temas, ancorados pela eterna d?vida do homem barroco

Le contexte politico-religieux particulièrement virulent des dernières décennies du XVIe siècle et des premières du XVIIe siècle a vu naitre une littérature brève tout à fait singulière, nourries d'influences diverses. Les histoires tragiques et les faits divers sanglants sont deux genres qui évoluent et coexistent à cette époque. Le premier se présente dans lignée des nouvelles de l'italien Mateo Bandello, et est influencé par toute cette littérature brève oscillant entre le tragique et le comique au milieu du XVIe siècle. Le genre se poursuit dans les premières décennies du XVIIe siècle sous la plume d'écrivains missionnaires de la foi catholique, dans cadre purement tragique et très influencés par les marques stylistiques de l'esthétique baroque. Au sein-même de ce genre, il a été proposé un classement tripartite relatif à la diachronie des récits. Ainsi, trois générations ont été considérées à partir d'auteurs-phares ayant un vrai impact sur l'évolution du genre : la première représentée par Pierre Boaistuau et François de Belleforest s'ouvre dans les années 1560 et se situe dans le prolongement du nouvelliste Bandello. La seconde, appartient aux années 1580 et marque l'affirmation des codes du genre, dans son positionnement par rapport tragique, mais aussi dans les choix des sujets traités grâce aux recueils de Vérité Habanc et Benigne Poissent. Enfin la troisième génération, correspondant aux années 1610-1630 est illustrée par François de Rosset et Jean-Pierre Camus qui portent le genre à son apogée en exploitant la vigueur démonstratrice du canard sanglant et l'influence romanesque propre à séduire le lecteur. Les " canards sanglants ", dont l'expression a été empruntée au recueil de Maurice Lever, est proprement un outil de propagande massive, anonyme mais que l'on sait déployés par Rome, qui souhaite alors réaffirmer les postulats de l'église catholique sous le nouveau regard des dogmes du Concile de Trente. En outre, c'est dans un contexte éditorial tout à fait favorable, grâce à l'imprimerie, que se développe cette littérature proprement nationale qui prend ses assises dans un contexte de méfiance généralisée vis-à-vis des nations voisines. Il se trouve que l'histoire tragique et le " canard sanglant " ont toujours été étudiés de manière exclusive par la critique jusqu'alors. Toutefois, des convergences génériques et formelles remarquables se pressentent entre les deux genres. Cette étude novatrice interroge les fondements génériques et formels permettant de considérer une structure stable à ce que serait le " récit épouvantable " à cette époque. Dans un premier chapitre les problématiques relatives au genre des récits épouvantables sont envisagées : quels sont les fondamentaux structuraux qui sous-tendent ces deux genres ? Dans quelle mesure les influences génériques fondatrices (novella italienne, tragédie) puis novatrices à l'époque (roman sentimental) ont-elles participé de l'évolution formelle du récit épouvantable tout en maintenant une logique narrative commune ? Du fait qu'aucun art poétique ne se soit intéressé à ces formes de récit, la définition de contours génériques est apparue come une nécessité. Les études formalistes (russes, italiennes et françaises) ont servi de point d'ancrage à la réflexion. La tripartition : énonciation de la loi/transgression/punition a été nuancée au regard de la diversité des textes. Ceux-ci présentent, en effet, la particularité d'être excessivement poreux aux autres formes génériques en vogue à l'époque (la tragédie, le roman, l'histoire de loi et l'expression poétique). Ce constat n'a pas été une surprise dans la mesure où ces récits reposent aussi sur la séduction du lecteur. Un second chapitre analyse en détail les unités constitutives du genre suivant le protocole narratif. Le titre constitue, tout d'abord une étape importante car il est au seuil du récit et détourne les attentes habituelles liées à sa fonction. En effet, celui-ci, particulièrement dense, se présente sous la forme d'un résumé en comportant toutes les informations délivrées par la narration, jusqu'à l'issue invariante, qui se caractérise par un procès et un jugement. La variatio s'exécute alors dans les différents châtiments établis en fonction du crime commis. Cette unité liminaire est le lieu d'une étude précise, au moyen de graphiques et de tableaux comparatifs, portant sur la dénomination générique et qualitative de ces récits. L'exorde apparait ensuite comme le lieu de la leçon. Le narrateur y déplore, aux moyens de procédés canoniques tels que le laudator tempris acti ou les procédés de lyrisme tragique la décadence du temps présent et les menaces qui pèsent sur le peuple français. Le discours moral, sa fonction et sa place y sont étudiés comme les marques d'une stratégie narrative qui n'obtient pas, somme toute, l'effet escompté sur l'apitoiement du lecteur. La question de la crédibilité de l'instance narratrice pour donner la leçon est soulevée ainsi que l'échec du dispositif cathartique appliqué à la narration. Une deuxième étape dans ce chapitre s'intéresse à l'exécution de l'acte central dans les récits épouvantables, à savoir l'acte sanglant. Deux formes de représentation ont été identifiées : l'une élabore une description dynamique et proprement romanesque de la mort, l'autre, qualifiée de " mort-tableau " envisage un portrait pictural de la scène. Par ailleurs, les correspondances esthétiques liées aux mouvements maniéristes (auteurs de la deuxième génération) et baroques (canards sanglants et auteurs de la troisième génération d'histoires tragiques) ont été étudiées dans leur réalisation au sein des récits. L'art s'est avéré être un puissant vecteur de propagande visuelle introduit au sein de la narration. Enfin, une étude microstructurale de la phrase a montré que la précipitation tragique s'exerce à tous les niveaux du récit épouvantable : de la composition narrative, au discours et à la phrase. En effet, l'abondance de subordonnées consécutives et de procédés rhétoriques tels que l'hyperbole et l'antithèse apparaissent comme des indices stylistiques annonçant la chute tragique du personnage ou précipitant la catastrophe. Un troisième chapitre interroge la délicate question de la vérité au sein de ces récits. Si des faits historiques sanglants ou des faits divers attestés constituent le vivier principal du corpus, certaines histoires, comme les portraits de monstres apparaissent comme des vestiges médiévaux que le lecteur ne craint plus. Aussi, la solution du vraisemblable a été envisagée comme le plus louable pour rendre compte de ces anecdotes qui oscillent entre volonté d'effrayer et nécessité d'établir une leçon crédible pour le lecteur. Enfin nous nous sommes interrogés sur les spécificités thématiques et formelles liées aux crimes et aux criminels qui caractérisent les deux genres. Encore une fois le support de graphiques est venu expliciter cette démarche fastidieuse révélant des tendances sur les sujets abordés par les récits épouvantables dans l'espace temporel du corpus. Les statistiques ont montré que les histoires d'amour malheureuses et les vengeances familiales (surtout présents chez les auteurs de la troisième génération, ont supplanté les récits de guerre que l'on retrouvait notamment chez Bénigne Poissent. Nous y voyons l'influence des thèmes développés dans le roman sentimental à la mode à l'époque. En revanche, les " canards sanglants " conservent cette spécificité thématique des récits de monstre et ceux de catastrophe naturelle qui lui est propre. Il a été choisi, lors d'un dernier chapitre, de mettre en regard deux genres littéraires qui possèdent des convergences formelles remarquables avec els récits épouvantables. Il s'agit des " chroniques journalières " de Pierre de l'Estoile et des épitomes judiciaires d'Alexandre-Sylvain Van Den Bussche. Alors que le premier genre possède les qualités principales de l'anecdote détaillée prise sur le vif, tout en témoignant des réalités crues d'une époque (celle d'Henri III et d'Henri IV), l'autre rend compte d'une forme rhétorique invariante directement issue du mode plaidoirie, exposant un cas sanglant et problématique au niveau de la loi. Les deux victimes exposent leurs arguments sans qu'il y ait une issue prononcée. Cependant, le second argumentaire apparaît toujours le plus favorable aux yeux du narrateur, illustrant une juste mesure qui dans la réflexion sur les crimes. En conclusion nous sommes parvenus à élaborer des principes esthétiques et formels communs et stables du " récit épouvantable " à la fin du XVIe et au début du XVIIe siècle, tout en se gardant bien de généraliser certaines nuances et exceptions qui produisent toutes la richesse de ces histoires génériquement hybrides et idéologiquement très ancrés dans un nouveau combat pour la foi. Produits d'une époque, ils en comportent toutes les marques, cette littérature " belliqueuse " ne laisse pas indifférente car elle se veut profondément active sur le lecteur. Que ce soit en lui assénant des images frissonnantes ou des leçons particulièrement strictes, le plaisir s'en voit intimement lié à la nécessité démonstrative. Il semble, en outre, que leur évolution les dissocie : les auteurs " tardifs " qui ont suivi Camus, dans la seconde moitié du XVIIe siècle (Claude Malingre et Jean-Nicolas Parival) n'ont pas su renouveler le genre pourtant très lu encore jusqu' à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Sade y voit des exemples de vices tout à fait remarquables qu'il réintroduit dans sa littérature licencieuse en évacuant la dimension morale du Grand Siècle. Au-delà, il n'en est plus question. C'est pourquoi, l'histoire tragique et ses valeurs semble s'effondrer avec l'Ancien Régime. Paradoxalement, alors que le " canards sanglants " représentait une expression ponctuelle de propagande liée à un contexte spécifique, c'est lui qui a le mieux su se renouveler. Sa forme, plus souple, lui permis de conserver l'essentiel de ce que le lecteur affriole, à savoir l'anecdote sanglante, tout en se débarrassant du carcan moral. Plus que jamais celui-ci se trouve d'actualité, toujours en sachant renouveler son format au gré du lectorat et des époques.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo reconhecer os elementos que indicam a construção da imagem de “Paraíso terrestre”, concomitante ao sentimento de nativismo na poesia lírica de Manuel Botelho de Oliveira (1636-1711), especificamente em sua silva “À Ilha de Maré”. Será traçado o panorama histórico-literário em que a obra foi composta, tanto o europeu quanto o brasileiro, assim como revelados alguns dados biográficos do autor, destacando a importância do mesmo para a literatura brasileira então nascente. Em relação ao conteúdo da referida silva, será debatido o topos literário das “ilhas encantadas”, apresentando um cotejo com a maneira como este foi abordado por Camões e pelos frades Manuel de Santa Maria Itaparica e José de Santa Rita Durão, assim como apontamentos sobre a influência que todos esses poetas — Botelho de Oliveira inclusive — receberam de Virgílio e de Ovídio. Esperamos com este trabalho não apenas divulgar a obra dum poeta geralmente ofuscado por seus contemporâneos (Gregório de Matos Guerra e Pe. Antônio Vieira), mas também propor um olhar mais atento a um período histórico-literário cuja importância na formação da identidade brasileira é, por vezes, deixada de lado.
This dissertation aims at recognizing the elements that indicate the construction of the image of "Terrestrial Paradise", concomitant with the feeling of nativism in the lyrical poetry of Manuel Botelho de Oliveira (1636-1711), specifically in his silva "À Ilha de Maré". The historical-literary panorama in which the work was composed, both European and Brazilian, will be traced, as well as some biographical data of the author will be revealed, highlighting his importance to the origins of Brazilian literature. In relation to the content of the silva, the literary topos of the "enchanted islands" will be debated, presenting a comparison with the way it was approached by Camões and the friars Manuel de Santa Maria Itaparica and José de Santa Rita Durão, as well as notes on the influence that all these poets - Botelho de Oliveira inclusive - received from Virgil and Ovid. We hope not only to divulge the work of a poet who is often overshadowed by his contemporaries (Gregório de Matos Guerra and Fr. Antônio Vieira), but also to offer a closer look at a historical-literary period which importance in the formation of Brazilian identity is sometimes set aside.
La presente tesis tiene como objetivo reconocer los elementos que indican la construcción de la imagen del “Paraíso terrenal”, concomitante del sentido de nativismo en la lírica de Manuel Botelho de Oliveira (1636-1711), específicamente en su silva “À Ilha de Maré”. Se trazará la escena histórica-literaria en que se hizo el trabajo, ambas europea como brasileña, así como revelado algunos datos personales del autor, resaltando la importancia de ello para la incipiente literatura brasileña. En relación con la silva, se discutirá lo topos literario de las “islas encantadas”, comparando con la forma en que este fue abordado por Camões y los frailes Manuel Santa Maria Itaparica y José de Santa Rita Durão, así como notas sobre la influencia que todos estos poetas — incluido Botelho de Oliveira —recibieron de Virgilio y de Ovidio. Confiamos que este trabajo no sólo publicite la obra de un poeta generalmente eclipsado por sus contemporáneos (Gregorio de Matos Guerra, y el P. Antônio Vieira), sino también proponga una mirada más cercana a un período histórico-literario cuya importancia en la constitución de la identidad brasileña a veces es dejada de lado.

This thesis offers the critical edition, with commentary, of Ismenia, opera reale e pastorale (Bologna 1638-1639) by Giovan Battista Andreini (1576-1654), that is his last dramatic ‘creation’ published in print during his lifelong career as both a playwright and writer. The text of Ismenia has been studied critically as well as historically, with a careful collation of all the known witnesses of its (printed) tradition, after accurately mapping all the main Italian and European libraries and archives, which led to the rediscovery of manuscript materials by Giovan Battista Andreini (that can be found here in the appendix section). These manuscripts look very interesting, as they help to reconstruct those very years that incubated the creation of Ismenia, from the mid-30s till the early 40s of the seventeenth century – casting light on that very period that has always been considered the ‘blind spot’ of Andreini’s production and life, indeed the central part, the ‘heart’ of this century. Ismenia represents the ‘swansong’ of a Baroque author daring enough to (literally) put into play all his «extravagant» creative genius, bringing life to a dramatic ‘monstrum’ that bravely displays his whole arsenal of literary as well as dramatic resources, developed in the lifetime Andreini spent in and for the theatre: the bold contamination of genres, first of all, in the name of a tragicomic mode, and of various formal and linguistic registers, too (mixing the literary language of ‘noble’ charactersand the dialects of the figures drawn from theCommedia dell’Arte), the intricate web of sources and intertextual, even interdisciplinary connections, bringing Ismenia close to the rising drama in music as well as to the timeless chivalric romance, and maybe already looking at the English drama of Shakespeare – a premonition? –, namelyThe Tempest, which was actually already fueled by those very Commedia dell’Arte sources and experiments that Ismenia itself is built on . The intent or, rather, the hope of this study is to do justice, or at least bear witness to a text that, even in comparison to the usual measures of the Baroque century, cannot be defined but literally «extra-ordinary».
La tesi propone l’edizione critica e commentata dell’ Ismenia, opera reale e pastorale (Bologna 1638-1639), ultima ‘creazione’ drammatica data alle stampe da GiovanBattista Andreini (1576-1654) nel corso della sua pluridecennale carriera di attore e autore principalmente , ma non solo, teatrale. Il testo è stato ricostruito sia criticamente sia storicamente, attraverso un’attenta collazione di tutti i testimoni noti della tradizione (a stampa) dell’opera, in seguito a un accurato censimento delle principali biblioteche e risorse archivistiche italiane ed estere che ha portato anche alla riscoperta di preziosi materiali manoscritti dell’autore (inseriti in appendice), utili a illuminare proprio il giro d’anni che interessa l’officina dell’Ismenia, a cavallo tra la metà degli anni Trenta e i primi anni Quaranta del Seicento– gettando così luce su quelle che sono sempre state considerate le principali ‘zone d’ombra’ dell’attività e biografia andreiniana, proprio al centro, anzi, nel cuore del secolo. L’Ismenia si presenta dunque come il canto del cigno di un autore barocco pronto a sfoderare tutto il proprio «stravagante» genio creativo, dando vita a un ‘monstrum’ drammatico capace di dispiegare il folto arsenale di risorse letterarie e drammatiche andreiniane, maturate nell’arco di una vita intera spesa nel e per il teatro: l’audace contaminazione non solo di generi, sotto il segno del tragicomico, ma anche di registri formali e linguistici (con l’alternanza tra l’idioma letterario dei personaggi ‘nobili’ e i dialetti delle figure riprese dalla commedia dell’arte), la brulicante rete di fonti e rapporti intertestuali, perfino interdisciplinari, che sanno avvicinare l’Ismenia tanto al mondo del nascente dramma in musica quanto agli intramontabili modelli romanzesco-cavallereschi,1allo stesso tempo forsegià guardando, con una sorta di premonizione, al teatro inglese shakespeariano, nominalmente La tempesta, questo stesso pure nutrito di quel fertile ‘sottobosco’ dell’improvvisa che emerge fra le righe di questa fabula regia. Si spera così di rendere, se non giustizia, almeno testimonianza al valore di un testo che perfino rispetto alle misure del secolo barocco si può solo che definire, insieme ad Andreini, «non ordinario».

Cette thèse présente une édition philologique et annotée du roman peu connu, écrit et publié par le maître d’escrime de Philippe IV, Luis Pacheco de Narváez, dont le titre est Historia ejemplar de las dos constantes mujeres españolas, imprimé pour la première fois à Madrid par l’Imprenta del Reino l’année 1635. Le travail est divisé en cinq chapitres, puisque en plus de celui consacré à l’édition du roman (chap. V), qui établit un texte annoté basé sur les deux seules éditions connues (Madrid, 1635 et Séville, 1744) avec son catalogue de variantes, quatre autres lui servent de contexte. Ainsi, nous présentons une biographie de Pacheco de Narváez (Baeza, 1560-Madrid, 1640), rédigée autour de la documentation conservée, qui est accompagnée par une liste de références littéraires d’époque qui évoquent sa figure et son œuvre, et une épigraphe qui se veut une réflexion scientifique sur ses relations avec Francisco de Quevedo (chap. I); une histoire du texte qui étudie la date de composition du roman, la première édition et le moment compliqué pour publier des romans dans ces années à cause de la censure (1625-1635), d’un projet de publication non abouti et de la seconde édition, ainsi que la trajectoire critique du roman et l’absence d’éditions ultérieures (chap. II); une étude de nature taxonomique (bien que l’accent soit mis aussi sur la moralité présente dans le roman) qui implique son rattachement, en dépit de son extension, au genre du roman «courtois» (chap. III); et enfin un chapitre dédié au contexte littéraire, divisé en deux grands blocs: l’un consacré aux sources et aux matériaux que l’auteur a utilisés pour donner forme au roman, et un autre qui étudie, à titre d’exemple, l’un des sujets présent dans ce dérnier et qui était aussi très courant dans la littérature de l’époque: la descriptio tempestatis. Cette dernière partie est complétée par un appendice qui analyse le sujet de la tempête dans la Jerusalén conquistada (1609) de Lope de Vega (chap. IV)
This thesis present a critical edition of the non-well known novel written and published by the fencing master of Philip IV, Luis Pacheco de Narváez, whose title is Historia ejemplar de las dos constants mujeres españolas, printed for the first time in Madrid by the Imprenta del Reino the year 1635. The work is divided into five chapters. In addition to the section dedicated to the edition of the novel (ch. V), which establishes an annotated text based on the only two known editions (Madrid, 1635 and Seville, 1744) with her list of variants, another four serve as context to it. Thus, we present a biography of Pacheco de Narváez (Baeza, 1560-Madrid, 1640), drafted in accordance with the preserved documentation, which is complemented by a literary list of references of this period about the figure and the work of the author, and an epigraph that wants to be a scientific consideration on his relations with Francisco de Quevedo (ch. I); a history of the text that studies the date of composition, the first edition and the complicated situation to publish novels in these years due to censorship (1625-1635), an aborted publication project and the second edition, as well as the critical trajectory of the novel and the absence of later editions (ch. II); a taxonomic study (although emphasis is placed on the morality present in the story) that implies its attachment to the genre of the so-called “courtly novel” (ch. III); and finally a chapter dedicated to the literary context, divided in two large parts: one dedicated to the sources and materials that the author could use to form the novel, and another that studies, by way of example, one of the literary topics present in the text and in the literature of the time: the descriptio tempestatis. This last part complements, as addition, with a study of the subject of the storm in the Jerusalen conquistada (1609) by Lope de Vega (ch. IV)
El objeto de esta tesis es presentar una edición filológica y anotada de la poco conocida novela escrita y publicada por el maestro de esgrima del monarca Felipe IV, Luis Pacheco de Narváez, cuyo título es Historia ejemplar de las dos constantes mujeres españolas, impresa por vez primera en Madrid por la Imprenta del Reino el año de 1635. El trabajo se divide en cinco capítulos, pues además del específico dedicado a la edición de la obra (Cap. V), que establece un texto anotado sobre la base de las dos únicas ediciones conocidas (Madrid, 1635 y Sevilla, 1744) junto con su aparato de variantes, otros cuatro sirven de contexto a la misma. Así, presentamos una nueva y completa biografía de Luis Pacheco de Narváez (Baeza, ha. 1560-Madrid, 1640), redactada en torno a la documentación conservada, que se complementa con un importante elenco de las menciones literarias de época que hacen referencia a la figura y la obra del autor, y un epígrafe que quiere ser una reflexión científica sobre sus relaciones con el escritor Francisco de Quevedo (Cap. I); una historia del texto que estudia la fecha de composición de la obra, la primera edición madrileña de 1635 y la complicada tesitura para publicar novelas en estos años a causa de la censura imperante (1625-1635), un proyecto de publicación abortado y la segunda edición sevillana de 1744, así como la trayectoria crítica de la novela y la inexistencia de ediciones posteriores (Cap. II); un estudio de carácter taxonómico (aunque se haga hincapié en la moralidad presente en el relato) que supone su adscripción al género, pese a su extensión, de la denominada como novela «cortesana», bien que se constate y analice también la presencia de elementos de otros géneros como la novela bizantina, caballeresca, etc. (Cap. III); y por último un capítulo dedicado al contexto literario, dividido a su vez en dos grandes bloques: uno dedicado a las fuentes y materiales que pudo utilizar el autor para conformar la novela, y otro que estudia, a manera de ejemplo, uno de los tópicos literarios presentes en la misma y en la literatura de la época: la descriptio tempestatis. Este último bloque se complementa, en tanto que apéndice, con un estudio del tema de la tormenta en el libro VII de La Jerusalén conquistada (1609) de Félix Lope de Vega (Cap. IV). Se cierra la tesis con el consabido apartado bibliográfico

The objective of this dissertation is to track the ways poetical death is constructed in the novel As Meninas, by Lygia Fagundes Telles. The interest for this theme resulted from recognizing homologous aspects in the literary text and the military dictatorship context internal to lygian writing. The analysis is guided by the artisticliterary procedures of poetical death construction using the concept of modern allegory systemized by Walter Benjamin. The concept of allegory as an expression that articulates the synthesis between social crisis and artistic creation shows the condition of a romantic language built by the fragmented, evasive, and traumatizing perception of existence. To illustrate these procedures, the study focused on the structural aspects of the language, such as character, time and speech. The guiding hypothesis throughout the reading was that these aspects configure a fragmented poetry, designed using the construction/ruin paradox. The conclusion of this study is that these procedures articulate, in the novel, a neo-baroque effect on the image of death and puts forth questions related to the crisis of the narrative and of the post modern individual
Esta dissertação tem por objetivo rastrear os modos de elaboração de uma poética da morte no romance As Meninas, de Lygia Fagundes Telles. O interesse pela temática resultou do reconhecimento de aspectos referentes a homologações entre o texto literário e o contexto da ditadura Militar internalizado na escritura lygiana. A análise pautou-se nos procedimentos artístico-literários de elaboração de uma poética da morte à luz do conceito de alegoria moderna sistematizado por Walter Benjamin. O conceito de alegoria como expressão que opera a síntese entre crise social e criação artística presentifica a condição de uma linguagem romanesca edificada pela fragmentação, evasão e percepção traumatizante da existência. Para elucidar esses procedimentos, o estudo pautou-se nos aspectos estruturais da linguagem, tais como personagem, tempo e discurso. A hipótese que norteou a leitura foi que tais aspectos configuram uma poética fragmentária arquitetada pelo paradoxo da construção/ruína. A conclusão a que chegamos neste estudo foi a de que esses procedimentos articulam, na obra, um efeito neobarroco da imagem da morte e propõem questões relativas à crise da narrativa e do sujeito na pós-modernidade

Since classical times, the witch has remained an eerie, powerful and foreboding figure in literature and drama. Often beautiful and alluring, like Circe, and just as often terrifying and aged, like Shakespeare’s Wyrd Sisters, the witch lives ever just outside the margins of polite society. In John Marston’s Sophonisba, or The Wonder of Women the witch’s ability to persuade through the use of language is Marston’s commentary on the power of poetry, theater and women’s speech in early modern Britain. Erichtho is the ultimate example of a terrifying woman who uses linguistic persuasion to change the course of nations. Throughout the play, the use of speech draws reader’s attention to the role of the mouth as an orifice of persuasion and to the power of speech. It is through Erichtho’s mouth that Marston truly highlights the power of subversive speech and the effects it has on its intended audience.

Resumo: Esta Dissertação objetiva a análise do romance "Il barone rampante", que faz parte da trilogia I Nostri Antenati (1950-1960), em que também estão reunidos os romances "Il visconte dimezzato" e "Il cavaliere inesistente", de Italo Calvino (1923-1985). Buscamos analisar num primeiro momento, alguns fatores que influenciaram a escrita calviniana, como os movimentos de Resistência na Itália, que visavam lutar contra as atrocidades da Primeira e da Segunda Guerra Mundial e do fascismo, como também algumas características da estrutura da fábula, que podem ser identificadas no romance estudado, a partir das atitudes de benfeitor de Cosme que o qualificam como um herói, pois passa por diversas dificuldades e lutas em favor do bem comum de todos. Na segunda parte da Dissertação, evidenciamos algumas referências históricas feitas à Revolução Francesa e ao Iluminismo e seus pontos de intersecção com o contexto histórico, em que Calvino viveu período, que envolveu Guerras e movimentos de grande repercussão e repressão como: o fascismo, o nazismo e o socialismo; menções de espaços reais e de Instituições históricas e de referências a figuras históricas como: Napoleão Bonaparte, Rousseau, Diderot, entre outros. No final da Dissertação, apontamos certas características que aproximam Il barone rampante a variedade do realismo mágico metafísico, como, por exemplo, a decisão do protagonista, Cosme de morar sobre as árvores, entre outros eventos. Além disso, comentamos algumas significações alegóricas em relação ao contexto histórico da narrativa, que remete na realidade ao século XX, época em que Calvino viveu e sobre a alegoria do intelectual Cosme a partir da sua mudança de ponto de vista sobre as árvores, que induzem a reflexão pela necessidade da valorização da educação e pela...

Abstract: This thesis aims to analyze the novel "Il barone rampante," which is part of the trilogy I nostri Antenati (1950-1960), who are also gathered in the novels "Il visconte dimezzato" and "Il cavaliere inesistente" by Italo Calvino (1923-1985).We analyze at first, some factors that influenced the writing calviniana, as movements of Resistance in Italy, aimed at fighting against the atrocities of the First and Second World War and fascism, but also some characteristics of the structure of the fable, which can be study identified the novel, from the attitudes of benefactor of Cosme which qualify as a hero, which goes through many hardships and struggles in favor of good all in common. In the second part of the dissertation, we noted some historical references made in the novel, about the French Revolution and the Enlightenment and their points of intersection with the historical context in which Calvino lived, involving wars and movements of great impact and repression as fascism, nazism and socialism; terms of actual areas and historical institutions and references to historical figures as Napoleon, Rousseau, Diderot, and others. At the end of the dissertation, we point out certain features that bring Il barone rampante variety of metaphysical magic realism, for example, the decision of the protagonist, Cosme living on trees, and other events. In addition, we discuss some allegorical meanings in relation to the historical context of the narrative which actually refers to the twentieth century, a period in which Calvin lived and about allegory of the intellectual Cosme from his change of view on the trees, which lead to reflection by need for enhancement of education and the maintenance of hope in human progress and technology to living in a more just and egalitarian society. Finally, we comment on symbolic elements such as tree space ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
