Abstract:
Purple Hibiscus, a novel by third-generation Nigerian author Chimamanda Adichie, appears at first glance to be a simple work of adolescent fiction, a bildungsroman in which a pair of siblings navigate the typical challenges of incipient adulthood: social ostracism, an abusive parent, emerging desire. However, the novel's setting-a revolutionary-era Nigeria-is clearly intended to evoke post-Biafra Nigeria, itself the setting of Adichie's other major work, Half of a Yellow Sun. This setting takes Purple Hibiscus beyond the scope of most modern adolescent fiction, creating a complex allegory in w

Abstract:
Este trabalho analisa os contos e textos autobiográficos de João Antônio (1937- 1996) nos quais as figuras paternas exercem papel decisivo para os protagonistas. A análise literária parte da identificação de elementos fundamentais do texto de ficção (tais como narrador, personagens e ação) e de como eles se articulam e interagem. As interpretações combinam elementos da crítica literária, da historiografia, de pesquisas bibliográfica e biográfica, apontando ainda para questões da sociologia e da psicanálise. O estudo parte das reflexões de Antonio Candido, crítico que formulou conceitos importa

Abstract:
Esta investigación propone una “historia del cine” a través de dos figuras que recorren todas sus historias, el padre y el hijo. La hipótesis principal de la que partimos es que el modelo paterno-filial es una trama heredada de la tradición literaria y que, desde sus inicios, el cine carga con esa herencia imaginando soluciones posibles. ¿Cómo aparece representado el padre en la historia del cine? ¿Cuáles son los rasgos que lo definen? ¿De qué forma fue configurada esta relación, padre-hijo, en cada “período” cinematográfico? ¿Cómo se reflejan las soluciones formales de cada autor y de cada mo
