Full textThe present research proposed the analysis of all twenty short stories that compose the book Marcovaldo or the seasons in the city (2015 [1963]), by Italo Calvino. The analyses focused on the protagonist, Marcovaldo, an impoverished proletarian that finds himself in a continuous state of discomfort with the changes that occurred in the post-war social context, especially in Italy during the period of the economic miracle, which was driven by the end of protectionist measures in the economy (GINSBORG, 2003). In trying to break away from this scenario, seeking the genuine beauty of nature, Marcovaldo ends up experiencing situations that always lead him to a discontent that is inextricably linked to a new kind of human and social relationship, built not only on the consolidation of modern capitalist societies, but also on the imposition of a single standard of behavior on society – an anthropological mutation, as proposed by Pier Paolo Pasolini (1978, 1997). The research focused on the Ecocritical approach (GARRARD, 2006), awakened by the object, which suggests the study (incorporating references from areas such as Sociology, Biology and Anthropology to Literary Theory) of nature, its relationship with women and men, and the refining of perceptions about delicate ecological issues, captured more intensively since the 1960s (PIGA, MANSANO, 2015), although the changes in perspective on sensitivity to nature are constantly shifting, mainly since the Enlightenment (THOMAS, 2010 [1983]). This research also integrated the assumptions of Ecosophy (GUATTARI, 2006 [1989]), which suggests a re-signifying of hegemonic procedures and discourses derived from the capitalist socio-political-economic system. In order to do so, it was necessary, jointly, to understand issues related to the environmental context of the twentieth century and its impact on economically disadvantaged classes (BOFF, 1995), as well as to assimilate the consequences related to the environmentalism of the poor, advocated by Joan Martínez Alier (2014 [2007]), in view of the social class to which Marcovaldo belongs. Based on the principles described, this research therefore had to analyze the interactions of Marcovaldo and his family with nature and its possibilities, its modifications and assimilation into an effervescent consumer market, aiming to reflect on the ecological crisis (of the three ecologies, according to Guattari) and point out hypotheses of overcoming it, by means of the apology of a less predatory human conviviality in relation to the other beings that, with them, live on planet Earth.

This research aims to study the work Grande Sertão: Veredas, by Guimarães Rosa, focusing its efforts in investigating how the nature is represented in the narrative context and the intertwined human-nature-society relation. As understood here, the research leans to a recent strand of literary criticism, the Ecocriticism, once the web of the environmental relations that interlace human and nature through the literary text is delineated by it. The Work presents discussions in the area of the fundaments of Ecocriticism through some scholars as Cherryll Glotfelty, Greg Gerrard and other authors linked to ASLE, plus some Brazilian researchers who have been dedicating themselves to this line of research. Also, we observed some works that bring ideas consonant with this perspective and that can be considered pioneers, especially some from the nineteenth century. We sought, as an epistemological propose of approach, the phenomenological perspective, from the ideas of Edmund Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, and the historical-sociocultural perspective, based in various scholars, for we consider these as relevant directions in the work studied. It is exposed the features of nature, ecology and environment that are contemporarily represented, in order to understand its present characteristics, given the typology of nature that are intrinsic to Rosa s work. A special focus is given to the backcountry trails to observe the symmetries and asymmetries between space and place, the objective and subjective representation of the backcountry area, how the power is characterized in that place, and how all this refers symbolically to the hinterland/world and the hinterland/man. Still within this perspective, we accompany the jagunços through the crossings of Sussuarão and the Sucruiú village. Meanwhile, we seek to understand the representation of the water in the work, since this element is, sometimes, essence and north of the narrative. Following the steps of the jagunços, we observe how is presented the man/animal relation in Riobaldo s narrative. Finally, we came closer to some characters intending to comprehend their sense of values and the actions expressed by them that, under a cautious eye, come to reveal itself. In this context, we also try to observe how these characters, throughout the narrative, can foster the Ecocriticism study.
Nesta pesquisa, estudamos a obra Grande sertão: veredas, de Guimarães Rosa, centrando esforços no sentido de investigar como está representada a natureza no contexto narrativo e a imbricada relação homem-natureza-sociedade. Tal como aqui entendida, a pesquisa inclina-se para uma recente vertente da crítica literária, a Écocrítica, uma vez que nela se delineia a teia de relações ambientais que entrecruzam a relação humano/natureza através do texto literário. O trabalho apresenta discussões no campo dos fundamentos da ecocrítica, através de alguns estudiosos, a exemplo de Cherryll Glotfelty, Greg Garrard e outros autores ligados à ASLE, além de alguns pesquisadores brasileiros que têm se dedicado a essa linha de pesquisa. Observamos, também, algumas obras que trazem ideias consoantes a essa perspectiva e podem ser consideradas pioneiras, notadamente algumas do século XIX. Buscamos, como proposta epistemológica de abordagem, as perspectivas fenomenológica, a partir das ideias de Edmund Husserl e Merleau-Ponty, e a histórico-sociocultural, alicerçada em diversos estudiosos, por considerarmos esses direcionamentos relevantes na obra estudada. Expõem-se as características da natureza, a ecologia e o meio ambiente que se encontram representados contemporaneamente, visando entender sua atualidade, face às tipologias de natureza que são intrínsecas à obra rosiana. Particular foco é dado às trilhas do sertão para observar as simetrias e assimetrias entre espaço e lugar, a representação objetiva e subjetiva do espaço sertão, como o poder se caracteriza nesse lugar, e como tudo isso remete, simbolicamente, ao sertão/mundo e ao sertão/homem. Ainda nessa perspectiva, acompanhamos os jagunços pelas travessias do Sussuarão e do povoado do Sucruiú. Nesse ínterim procuramos perceber a representação da água na obra, uma vez que esse elemento é, em alguns momentos, essência e norte da narrativa. Seguindo os passos dos jagunços, observamos como se apresenta a relação homem/animal na narrativa riobaldiana. Por último, fomos ao encontro de alguns personagens no intuito de compreender alguns sentidos de valores e ações por eles expressos que, a um olhar mais atento, findam por desvelar-se. Nesse contexto, procuramos observar, também, como esses personagens, ao longo da obra, podem fomentar o estudo ecocrítico.

Full textn the contemporary context of the disappearance of jungle biotopes in Latin America, this thesis aims to update the study of the representations of the jungle in the literature of the Latin American jungle in the context of the clash between Modernity and nature, in conjunction with the advances of science and extractive activities of the 1920s. From a focus on narrative voices in the short story "Anaconda" (1921) by Horacio Quiroga and in the novel La vorágine (1924) by José Eustasio Rivera, the study objective of the study is to illuminate the literary representations of the missionary and Amazon jungle areas, respectively. We start from the identification of a problem that lies in a duality in the interpretations of this topic. While a seriesof studies has proposed that in the novela de la selva, the genre to which the corpus belongs despite being a story, the jungle is presented as a “green hell” (Rueda, 2003) for the human being. Other current studies define the jungle as a “contagion zone” (Andermann, 2018) between human beings and the jungle. From an ecocritical perspective (Glotfelty, 1996; Marcone, 1998; Gunnels, 2006; Arévalo Viveros, 2009; Camasca, 2020; Heffes, 2014, 2021), in this thesis we analyze the representations of the forest that are articulated in the two texts, and how such representations are related to the conflict of the clash between Modernity and nature. As the main results, the analysis shows that the jungle is represented through personification and anthropomorphism, where the narrative voice gives characteristics and human actions, to the plants in Rivera and to the vipers in Quiroga, where the jungle is so hostile or as a victim. However, in this representation, we also find instances of mutual contagion, where nature and human beings act violently towards each other. Likewise, we also observe a new variant in these representations of the jungle related to the apathy and indifference of the human being towards nature, and a reaction of nature related to its silence, which implies that this literature of the jungle of the 20s can provide the necessary knowledge to understand the current disappearance of forests in Latin America

Full textA foray into romance Avalovara, Osman Lins, opens up possibilities for the discovery of an acoustic universe full of symbolism permeating the scenes of the narrative. This paper is based on the researches of the Canadian composer and educator Raymond Murray Schafer about the global soundscape. It propose to investigate the relationship between the literary work Avalovara and a sound language from the novel acustic expressions, identifying the possible meanings of such connections. Was necessary a transposition to the fictional world of Avalovara of the analysis methodology and classification of sounds used by Schafer, having been developed a categorization table containing the most significant scenarios with the sounds identified in each of them. A passage along the paths of ecocriticism and sound ecology allow, based on Schafer's view of noise associated with various expressions of strident sounds present in the narrative, to glimpse a proximity of the thought of Osman Lins with the ideas of acoustic ecology. Natural sounds, music, noise and silence blend themselves in a symphony of sound oppositions where the going and coming give life and rhythm to the narrative, connecting the literary language with the musical language. Interrelate also the structure of the novel and the formal organization of relevant musical pieces such as the Catulli Carmina cantata, of Carl Orff, and the fragments of the introduction of the Sonata in F minor (K462) for harpsichord, of Scarlatti. Four musics of contrasting character, here called of musical axis, shows the route of the protagonists in their searches, their anxieties and their frustrations. The Avalovara bird with their chants, shouts and spiral movements brings up a world of mysteries that allows associations and interpret the various symbolisms related to bird guide. The words in the body of refer to a process of initiation into the knowledge, when the mythical bird introduces her in the world of sounds. Some aspects of tantric philosophy are addressed here because of the profound similarity of spiritual ascension process with the trajectory of Abel and , in his dogged pursuit of absolute knowledge from the control of the mysteries of words that permeate the body of the triple woman. The silence in the novel is analyzed from various perspectives, relating it with the tantrik philosophy and the thought of Schafer and John Cage. The novel was regarded as a unique soundscape and its scenic fragments called, in this work, of sound scenarios.

Full textSince the Independences and until the middle of the 20th century, Latin American literature was largely consolidated in the wake of its relationship with nature. Different currents and concepts such as novela de la tierra are anchored in this relationship. It is in this context that the novelas de la selva appear, mainly in the area around the Orinoco and Amazonian basins. We have based our work on an ecocritical analysis of La Vorágine (1924), Los pasos perdidos (1953) and La casa verde (1965), a framework that is not frequently used in the Spanish-speaking area. Through the study of three ecological tropes (destruction, preservation and sustainability) and a theoretical framework that challenges the classic concept of the Nature/Culture relationship (based in particular on the work of Philippe Descola and Bruno Latour), we will examine the relevance of ecocritical analysis as far as those three novels are concerned, in the light of a growing awareness for ecology
Desde las Independencias y hasta la mitad del siglo XX, la literatura latinoamericana ha tenido la naturaleza como fuente de inspiración. Diferentes corrientes y conceptos como novela de la tierra se basan en esa relación. Es en este marco aparecen las novelas de la selva, principalmente alrededor de la cuenca de Orinoco y del Amazonas. Nuestro trabajo se basa en un análisis de La Vorágine (1924), Los pasos perdidos (1953) y La casa verde (1965), desde un punto de vista ecocrítico, corriente teórica aun hoy poco utilizada en el ámbito hispano. A partir de tres tropos ecológicos (destrucción, preservación y sostenibilidad) y con la ayuda de un marco teórico que cuestiona el concepto clásico de la relación Naturaleza/Cultura (basado en los estudios de Philippe Descola y Bruno Latour), vamos a interrogarnos sobre la pertinencia de un análisis ecocrítico en el contexto de una relectura de estas tres novelas, a la luz de una nueva sensibilidad: la ecología

Full textLos desastres ambientales ocasionados por la acción humana constituyen una preocupación que excede a la comunidad científica y que se instala en los diversos discursos circulantes en la sociedad. La inquietud por el cambio climático antropogénico, es decir, aquel causado por la acción humana sobre el planeta, se manifiesta en el ámbito científico con una nueva denominación de la era geológica actual, la era del Antropoceno. Una “era de los humanos” debido a la catastrófica e irremediable intervención del hombre en los sistemas terrestres. La nueva designación coincide con una marcada tendencia en gran parte de la producción literaria anglófona a imaginar y narrar el impacto, presente o futuro, del cambio climático ocasionado por el hombre (Dwyer 2010; Trexler y Johns-Putra 2011, Trexler 2015; Mehnert 2016). Estas ficciones sobre el calentamiento global presentan rasgos distintivos en el modo en que describen las modificaciones de la temperatura terrestre y sus efectos, lo cual lleva a la crítica a concluir que estamos frente a un nuevo género literario (Trexler 2015, Schneider-Mayerson 2017). Hacia fines de la primera década del nuevo siglo, Dan Bloom acuña el término climate fiction, abreviado como cli-fi para denominar esta ficción emergente que da expresión a la necesidad de imaginar y narrar la crisis ambiental. Desde una mirada comparatista y un marco teórico-metodológico ecocrítico (Glotfelty 1996, Carballo 2010), la propuesta de investigación plantea explorar las características del clima ficción como narrativa preponderante en la era del Antropoceno en un corpus literario compuesto por un cuento corto de la antología editada por Bruce Meyer, Cli-fi, Canadian Tales of Climate Change (2017), la novela Solar, A Novel del escritor británico Ian McEwan del año 2010 y una novela del autor estadounidense Nathaniel Rich, Odds Against Tomorrow, publicada en 2013.

Full textAbstract: This thesis presents the work of the poet Gary Snyder (1930) to the Portuguese academia in order to clearly state its original and unique place among North-American poetry. It is divided in three chapters that determine the three different grounds of the author’s syncretism. The first chapter contextualizes Snyder’s work in the history of literary representations of nature. In rupture with the Pastoral literary mode it crystallizes a moment of passing between nature writing and environmental writing. The second chapter discusses the Buddhist elements present in Snyder’s work and stresses the importance of the interrelation between mind and nature. By stating the equivalence between the Buddhist concept of interdependence and ecosystems processes, the poems assume certain formal characteristics that are presented. Finally, the third chapter defines the relation between geographical places and Snyder’s poems. The formal aspects of the author’s poetry reflect Snyder’s notion of the poet as a shaman and its clarification allows for the discussion of the author’s statement of language as a wild ecosystem. Snyder’s syncretism is his most profound, original and long lasting influence in north-American poetry. It extends its influence to environmental ethics, the presence of Buddhism in North-America and the recovery of Native American Myths and lore. It does so in the context of a social, political, poetic, religious and environmental revolution that intends to create a new (and old) place for Man with Nature.

Full textEsta dissertação de mestrado propõe uma exploração ecocrítica e pós-colonial nos pontos de interação entre autores vindos de geografias completamente diferentes do mundo: Mia Couto de Moçambique e T. Coraghessan Boyle de Estados Unidos da América. Ao fazer uma comparação de uma série de obras destes contemporâneos e prolíficos autores através da perspetiva da ecocrítica e pós-colonialismo, alguns entendimentos sobre o significado do ‘meio-ambiente’ são revelados e explorados. Temas da natureza ambiental e pós-colonial abordados aqui são: a luta pelos direitos da terra e fronteiras; a representação e concessão da voz aos nãohumanos; visões de apocalipse de foro ambiental; e definições de humano e não-humano. Como esta dissertação pretende demonstrar, reflexões sobre o meio-ambiente encontram-se dentro de sistemas de crença ou de uma maneira de ser no mundo que varia bastante e que reflete as sociedades contemporâneas em que os autores vivem. O que os une é uma exploração humorística de maneiras como se pode realizar uma concepção de comunidade que é pós-imperial e ecológica através de uma interrogação do lugar do humano, da natureza e a forma como reiteram conceitos holísticos que a academia ou não considera ou considera obsoletos, tais como esperança, empatia, pertença e amor. Estes autores, que escrevem uma forma de ‘ficção profunda’ (expressão que decorre de deep ecology) defendem que amor e defesa da terra podem servir como catalisadores de ação social e da justiça ambiental implícita em situação pós-colonial.

Full textA presente investigação visou contribuir para o estudo da permeabilidade entre Ciência e Arte, explorando, nomeadamente, o diálogo frutífero entre a área científica interdisciplinar da Ecologia Humana e a Literatura Portuguesa. Neste sentido, configura o que pode entender-se como um ensaio de dupla interdisciplinaridade. Recorreu-se a uma metodologia híbrida que integra métodos e fontes das ciências do ambiente e sociais e da análise literária, cujos graus de objetividade variam entre si, e que pode filiar-se na recente área dos “mixed methods”, cuja exploração se acentuou nas últimas duas décadas na Europa e nos Estados Unidos. Em concreto, pretendeu-se analisar a representação literária da Natureza e do vínculo de interdependência que o ser humano estabelece com ela na obra de Ferreira de Castro (1898-1974) ‒ um dos mais aclamados e traduzidos escritores portugueses do século XX, fundador do “romance social” português ‒ e perceber em que medida essa representação irradia da experiência de vida em variados ambientes geográficos, da personalidade e da ideologia do escritor. A tese consta de duas partes principais, traçando a primeira uma “Ecobiografia” do escritor, que averigua a sua relação e a sua conceção pessoal sobre a Natureza; e dedicando-se a segunda à ecocrítica de quatro textos de ficção com cenários em áreas rurais de Portugal continental, escritos entre 1928 e 1947: Emigrantes (1928), “O Natal em Ossela” (1933), Terra Fria (1934) e A Lã e a Neve (1947). Defende-se que, num tempo anterior ao movimento ecológico português, esses textos continham já um significativo teor eco-humano. Apresentam, por isso, um grande potencial de difusão do ambiente biofísico e das modalidades relacionais que o ser humano instituiu com a terra numa época, revelando-se um valioso contributo para a História Ambiental do território português. Esta função extra-artística projeta-se nas gerações leitoras do presente e do futuro e pode atuar em benefício da consciência ambiental e de cidadania neste século XXI. Razão por que é devido à obra castriana este novo lugar na Cultura portuguesa, mais além e mais amplo que a sua aplaudida dimensão literária.
This research aimed to be a contribution to the studying of the permeability between Science and Art. The fruitful dialogue between the interdisciplinary science of Human Ecology and the Portuguese Literature is here explored. In this sense, this may be a double interdisciplinary essay. A hybrid methodology was used, integratig methods and references from environmental as well as social sciences and the literary analysis. Their degrees of objectivity are variable and are included in the ‘mixed methods’ well used in Europe and the United States of America in the last two decades. The purpose is to analyze the literary representation of Nature and the interdependency link between the human being and Nature in Ferreira de Castro’ s work (1898-1974). Ferreira de Castro is one of the most praised and translated Portuguese writers of the XX century, creator of the Portuguese ‘social novel’. That representation spreads out from the author’s experience of life in several geographical environments and from his personality and ideology. The thesis has two main parts: the writer´s Ecobiography that conveys his own relationship and personal conception about Nature; and the second part is an ecocriticism of four fictional writings of rural areas in continental Portugal, written between 1928 and 1947: Emigrantes (1928), “O Natal em Ossela” (1933), Terra Fria (1934) e A Lã e a Neve (1947). It is argued that, in a time before the ecological Portuguese movement, those Castro’s fictional works have already had an important eco-human meaning. Ferreira de Castro’s work disseminates the biophysics environment and the different relationship of human being facing the land and the landscape – which is a valuable resource and contribution to Portuguese Environmental History. This extra-artistic role outlines in the reading generations of the present and of the future and it may be a benefit to the XXI century environmental consciousness and citizenship. This is why Ferreira de Castro’s writing deserves a new place in the Portuguese Culture, far beyond his well applauded literary dimension.
