Full textThe Bestiary in Flannery O’Connor’s Works records and analyses the main animal occurrences in the author’s literary production. The bestiary makes up a complex system which stems not only from contemporary literary and film sources, but also from the primitive soul, from mythologies, books by ancient naturalists, the two Testaments and the lives of the saints, the medieval bestiaries and Christian symbolism as a whole, and popular tales and legends. Starting from her tetramorph, Flannery O’Connor names the animals; not only does she entitle them to exist, but she also gives them parts in which they can express their talent. While it is true that the animals on the stage lose some of their sacred quality as they generally appear in their negative peculiarities, they can still be regarded as benevolent gods of the dead, whose therapeutic function is essential. The preachers, prophets-to-be and mystics hardly advance in their quest in O’Connor’s world simply because they cannot apprehend the value of the sign they are confronted with. As they fail to decipher the message inherent in each symbol, they necessarily reach a deadlock in their lives. It becomes necessary to revive the language of Christian symbolism in order to reach complete fulfilment, taking into account the anagogical dimension of every living creature, as was the case with the ancient bestiaries that our cathedrals still harbour

Este trabalho foi sugerido pela afirmação de Flannery O'Connor que sua "dedicação estética" nasceu através do contato com Art and Scholasticism de Jacques Maritain. O propósito foi chegar a uma interpretação do sentido da frase. Uma investigação detalhada foi feita do conteúdo de Art and Scholasticism, posteriormente contrastada com os resultados de uma pesquisa feita em seus ensaios e suas cartas, o que revelou numerosos ecos de diversos trechos constando no texto de Maritain. Três pontos principais foram escolhidos como critérios na análise do hábito artístico de O'Connor: 1) a prática de arte implica uma luta; 2) a arte somente pode ser percebida pelos sentidos; e 3) a prática de arte exige do artista a dedicação indivisa à obra nascente. O estudo conclui que, para O'Connor, o brotar da dentição estética, através da leitura de Art and Scholasticism, significou que, ao perceber na análise da natureza da arte algo com que podia concordar, ela reconheceu tanto sua própria capacidade de tornar-se uma artista literária, quanto sua vontade de assumir a tarefa de desenvolver em sua pessoa o hábito de arte.

Full textThis work deals with the thematic issue of human beings’ development and social adaptation in Flannery O’Connor’s A Good Man is Hard to Find. These topics guide the study towards the identification and questioning of man’s source of anxieties, deformities, grotesqueness, and suffering, in order to discuss the characters’ behavior in relation to themselves and to other members of the society in which they live. Intra and interpersonal relationships between characters in relation to the community are the key elements for the structural and thematic development of the narratives in the short stories “A Good Man Is Hard to Find,” “Good Country People,” “The River,” and “The Displaced Person.” From different points of view, the author portrays life in society, through characters who, in identifying themselves with each other, transfer their personal dissatisfaction and consequent repulsion, from situations in their own lives to others who become victims of their moral and physical aggressions. In the light of this, the methodological approach to this study is based on Sigmund Freud’s theories about the unconscious mind and on Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories about the dialogical and interdisciplinary text. Therefore, it is important to understand how the characters relate themselves to the superego, as their attitudes are more consequences than causes of their social inadequacies.
Este trabalho aborda a temática do desenvolvimento e da adaptação social do ser humano na obra literária da autora norte americana Flannery O’Connor. Tais tópicos orientam o estudo na busca de identificar e questionar a origem das ansiedades, deformidades, atitudes grotescas e sofrimentos do homem ao discutir o comportamento das personagens e o modo como elas se relacionam consigo mesmas e com os membros da sociedade com os quais convivem. As análises dos relacionamentos intra e interpessoais das personagens em relação à comunidade tornam-se uma ação que motiva os contos “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, “Good Country People”, “The River” e “The Displaced Person”. Sob diferentes pontos de vista, a autora retrata a vida em sociedade, através de personagens que ao se identificarem, de alguma forma, umas com as outras, transferem suas insatisfações pessoais e não-aceitações de situações referentes às próprias vidas, a outras pessoas, que se tornam vítimas de agressões morais e físicas. Baseando-se nisto, a abordagem é feita a partir das teorias de Sigmund Freud, sobre o inconsciente humano, e Mikhail Bakhtin sobre o texto dialógico e interdisciplinar. Nessa perspectiva, é importante entender como as personagens relacionam-se com o superego uma vez que suas atitudes são mais consequências do que causa de suas inadequações sociais.

Resumo: O presente trabalho pretende analisar os contos "A Stroke of Good Fortune", "A Temple of the Holy Ghost", "Good Country People", "A View of the Woods", "Revelation" e "Parker's Back", da escritora estadunidense Flannery O'Connor considerando o que neles há de grotesco. Será dada especial atenção à representação do corpo grotesco, isto é, o corpo deformado, amputado, modificado, doente. Uma vez considerados os elementos grotescos, serão realizadas análises das personagens femininas nos contos: como elas são construídas e o que isso pode representar em termos de subversão da autoridade patriarcal e das particularidades da escrita de Flannery O'Connor. Por fim, serão feitas aproximações entre o grotesco e a representação da mulher nos textos da autora. Para a realização desta pesquisa, tomaremos por base as obras dos teóricos sobre o grotesco Wolfgang Kayser (2013), Mikhail Bakhtin (2013) e Mary Russo (2000); além de estudos sobre a escrita de Flannery O'Connor como a obra de Katherine Prown (2001) e outros teóricos que abordam análise de personagens
Abstract: The present work intends to analyse the short stories "A Stroke of Good Fortune", "A Temple of the Holy Ghost", "Good Country People", "A View of the Woods", "Revelation" and "Parker's Back", by the American writer Flannery O'Connor, considering what is grotesque in them. Special attention is going to be paid to the representation of the grotesque body - the deformed, amputee, modified, sick body. Once the grotesque elements are considered, analyses of the female character is going to be carried out: how they are constructed and what it may represent in terms of subversion of the patriarchal authority and of the particularities of Flannery O'Connor's writing. Finally, approximation between the grotesque and the representation of the woman is going to be done based on the author's stories. This research is going to be based on the works of the grotesque theorist Wolfgang Kayser (2013), Mikhail Bakhtin (2013) and Marry Russo (2000), besides studies about Flannery O'Connor's writing such as the work of Katherine Prown (2001) and other theorists of character analysis

Full textEste trabalho visa investigar a natureza das representações do corpo na obra de Flannery O’Connor e o paralelo estético e ideológico e religioso que essas representações guardam com a pintura flamenga dos séculos XV e XVI, no quadro do conceito de arte grotesca e corpo grotesco, tal como foram apresentados por Mikhail Bakhtin em Rabelais and His World. Defender-se-á que, para estes autores, a única representação possível do transcendente é o corpo e que este é representado grotesco, não como forma de ironia, mas antes segundo a visão de Deus em que os autores acreditavam.

Full textThe principal aim of this dissertation is to provide a fresh approach to the vexed question of the relationship between the aesthetic and the ideological in the work of Flannery O’Connor. Unlike existing studies of this question in the critical literature, the approach adopted in this dissertation is based on the premise that it can best be treated in the context of a theory of literary discourse, one, in particular, that takes full consideration of the reflexive and performative dimensions of literary works. This theoretical assumption has considerable consequences for the study of the relationship between literary texts and the social, political, historical and literary contexts of their reception and circulation. In particular, it suggests that literary texts inscribe and negotiate the social and historical conditions of their circulation and reception, and that the question of their context should be approached first and foremost through the study of this textual inscription and negotiation. Insofar as it takes full consideration of the mediatory logic that such textual negotiation entails—in particular the mediating presence and effect of the figures of the reader and the author, the genre of the work, and the literary field—literary pragmatics will be seen to provide an approach which not only enables this study, but also reveals in a new light both the complexity and the singularity of Flannery O’Connor’s literary signature

Full textThis thesis examines the representation of domesticity in the psychological and physical lives of women in literature. The interpretive question of the argument asks, how does the haunting of domesticity affect and create meaning in the lives of female characters? Domesticity is an idea that has been used to as a means of submission by a domineering other. The idea of domesticity is a catalyst that is used to help Hulga Hopewell from Flannery O’Connor’s “Good Country People” and Eleanor Vance from Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House to break away from oppressive influences; by examining these feminist narratives we will see how two women attempt to survive the physical and mental hauntings of domesticity and its effects on their minds and bodies as they try to preserve the self. Hulga and Eleanor are women who are not following the expectations of family nor society, as they choose to take different paths in life, they face judgment and criticism for not following societal norms. These women will struggle against the domesticity that has been passed down for generations through their mothers. Hulga is forced to move back home, where she tries everything to avoid her mother’s brand of domesticity, and Eleanor runs away trying to escape the bonds of domesticity. Both women come face to face with their deepest fears when they confront this haunting; and ultimately will be physically and mentally traumatized.
