Resumo: Esta tese objetiva a comparação dos romances Il barone rampante (1957), de Italo Calvino e El Siglo de las Luces (1962), de Alejo Carpentier, pois ambos apresentam confluências no que diz respeito a existência de referencias históricas, uma vez que os enredos transcorrem no século XVIII, em meio a Revolução Francesa e aos ideais iluministas. Além disso, as duas narrativas apresentam indicações de figuras da história oficial assim como a indicação de Instituições históricas. É fundamental destacar que nos dois romances, há acontecimentos insólitos que se referem ao realismo mágico, em Il barone rampante, o protagonista Cosimo vive um estilo de vida incomum sobre as árvores, onde estuda, tem atitudes altruístas e acredita nos ideias revolucionários, enquanto em El Siglo de las Luces, o protagonista é Víctor Hugues que foi inspirado em uma figura da história oficial, um francês que foi comerciante e responsável por disseminar a ideologia revolucionária na região das Antilhas. Sua chegada a Havana, movimenta ativamente a vida dos primos Esteban, Carlos e Sofía, que passam a nutrir interesses pela Revolução, fazem diversos estudos e leituras de autores filosóficos e são moldados pelo pensamento racionalista.

Abstract: This thesis aims at the comparison of the novels Il barone rampante (1957), by Italo Calvino and El Siglo de las Luces (1962), by Alejo Carpentier, since both have confluences regarding the existence of historical references, since the entanglements both of which take place in the eighteenth century, amidst the French Revolution and the Enlightenment ideals. In addition, the two narratives present indications of figures of the official history as well as the indication of Historical Institutions. It is important to note that in the two novels, there are unusual events that refer to magical realism, in Il barone rampante, the protagonist Cosimo lives an unusual lifestyle on the trees, where he studies, has altruistic attitudes and believes in revolutionary ideas, while in El Siglo de las Luces, the protagonist is Víctor Hugues who was inspired by an official history figure, a french who was a merchant and responsible for spreading the revolutionary ideology in the Antilles region. His arrival in Havana actively moves the lives of the cousins Esteban, Carlos and Sofía, who begin to nurture interests for the Revolution, do various studies and readings of philosophical authors and are shaped by rationalist thinking. In the Carpentian novel, Esteban is cured of asthma thanks to ritual healers, factor that can be associated with magical realism. At other times, we tried to evidence some fabulous aspects in Il barone rampante and the Latin American baroque in El Siglo de las Luces. ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textAbstract:
American Indian author Susan Power’s novel The Grass Dancer is often categorized as magical realism, yet Power has stated the novel is a representation of her reality and that it is not a magical realist text. The term magical realism was first applied to the work of Latin American authors such as Gabriel García Márquez whose writing depicts magical events in a matter-of-fact narrative tone. It has since expanded to include other cultures. The question is whether it is a term that can readily be applied to the literary work of all cultures. The closest Wendy B. Faris, one of the most prominent experts on magical realism, comes to discussing the term in relation to the work of American Indian authors is by simply acknowledging Ojibwe writer Louise Erdrich’s label as a magical realist author. In order to aid Power in her rejection of the association, I delve into both her Dakota heritage and her life through the lens of biographical criticism in order to obtain a working image of her reality. By locating and examining the seeds of truth in her fiction, I explain the magical qualities of her novel in a rational and logical manner.

Resumo: A literatura de Murilo Rubião, introdutora do insólito no Brasil, abriga temas essenciais para a compreensão da modernidade brasileira do século XX. Analisar o sobrenatural em sua obra implica ainda examinar temas referentes à condição humana, que envolvem necessariamente a relação texto/contexto e também observar como isso é veiculado na narrativa em termos de representação. Tendo como pressuposto o relevante papel do escritor no seu contexto social e a importância da criação literária quando considerada a partir de certas necessidades de representação do mundo, nosso intuito com a pesquisa é problematizar a construção formal do insólito na ficção do autor, utilizando as acepções do neofantástico, realismo mágico e do absurdo, na direção de um diálogo entre os gêneros. Desta forma, a pesquisa tem por finalidade a análise da estruturação dos elementos insólitos como mecanismo de representação simbólica do homem moderno, em seis contos do autor, observando as especificidades do contexto histórico em que se situam as narrativas. A saber, os contos selecionados para a análise são: "O ex-mágico da Taberna Minhota", "O pirotécnico Zacarias", "Teleco, o coelhinho", "Os dragões", "O edifício" e "A cidade". O embasamento teórico para o trabalho é composto de ensaios críticos sobre o autor como os de Arrigucci Jr, Jorge Schwartz, Nelly Novaes Coelho, José Paulo Paes, entre outros. Também fazem parte do embasamento, estudos sobre o fantástico, o neofantástico, o realismo mágico e o absurdo, como os de Tzvetan Todorov, Jean Paul Sartre, Jaime Alazraki, David Roas, William Spindler e Martin Esslin. Além disso, são utilizadas proposições teóricas sobre as categorias da narrativa como as de Gérard Genette
Abstract: Murilo Rubião's literature, pioneer of the uncommon in Brazil, contain essential themes for understanding the Brazilian modernity of the twentieth century. Analyzing the supernatural in his work also involves examining issues related to the human condition, which necessarily involve the relationship text / context and also observe how it is conveyed in the narrative in terms of representation. Assuming the relevant role of the writer in his social context and the importance of literary creation when seen from certain requirements of representing the world, our aim with the study is to discuss the construction of the formal neofantastic, magical realism and absurd in the author fiction, toward a dialogue between genres. Thus, the research main objective is to analyze the structure of the uncommon elements as mechanisms for symbolic representation of the modern man, in six tales of the author, observing the specificities of the modern context in which the narratives are situated. Namely, the stories selected for analysis are: "O ex-mágico da Taberna Minhota", "O pirotécnico Zacarias", "Teleco, o coelhinho", "Os dragões", "O edifício" e "A cidade". The theoretical basis for the work is composed of critical essays about the author such as Arrigucci Jr, Jorge Schwartz, Nelly Novaes Coelho, José Paulo Paes, among others. Also, part of the fantastic, magical realism and absurd's studies, such as Tzvetan Todorov, Jean Paul Sartre, Jaime Alazraki, David Roas, William Spindler and Martin Esslin.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter One begins by outlining the space magic occupies in Western culture, clarifying what I mean by the term "magic". I examine aspects of indigenous American sacred traditions which have influenced and which prefigure magic realism. I review the development of the aesthetic in its Latin American context, touching on the Chronicles, the role of nationalism and erotic rhetoric, the influence of European modernism and the role of the intellectual in Latin American society. Chapter Two examines the development of a realist aesthetic in Europe since the Enlightenment. This review of its manifestations and counter-traditions in European culture is founded upon a discussion of aspects of the philosophy of Kant. I focus on the influence of Surrealism which is particularly illuminating of Latin American magic realism. The impacts of anthropology and psychoanalysis on Latin American writers are also reviewed. Chapter Two includes a review of formulations of magic realism influential in the field of English studies and concludes with a working definition which is used as a basis for the discussions of the three novels analysed in this study. Chapter Three is a study of the development of Alejo Carpentier's version of magic realism culminating in the writing of The Kingdom of this World in 1949. Through using both European and indigenous American techniques and perspectives he hoped to create a literature which could represent the complex realities of Latin American life and establish a mythology for the founding of a unified Latin American identity.

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.

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.

In 1989 the north-american Bruce Sterling revealed in an interview that he found a new category of a literary genre which combines others genres then forming what he called Slipstream. This mode doesn’t follow a unique standard including even Science-fiction, Gothic and Magic Realism in one work. Since then, twenty years later after his revelation about Slipstream the mode hasn’t become a literary genre yet and littles has been discussed about the present subject. However, there are several questions and suppositions about what it could really be Slipstream and its characteristics to achieve the literary genre title. Although there are few affirmations around the topic, this present work aims to outline the contact point between slipstream and Magic Realism. Genre which shares much in characteristics with the present mode and also to define if Slipstream isn’t another name to Magic Realism. For such proposition, we have taken the literary character undead or nowadays called zombie for analysis. Therefore, we believe that the presence of this literary figure corroborate to the manifestation of the components elements and events of the genres here presented. As subject of analysis, we have taken the works “A case of the stubborns” (1984) by Robert Bloch, “Sea Oak” (1997) by George Saunders and “Incidente em Antares” (1970) by Érico Veríssimo. As theoretical support, Fred Botting (1996), H. P. Lovecraft (2007), Nöel Carroll (1999), about the horror in literature and to connect with the Magic Realism and the Magical Reality, Alejo Carpentier (1987), Irlemar Chiampi and William Spindler (1993)
Em 1989 o norte-americano Bruce Sterling revelou, em entrevista, ter encontrado uma nova categoria de gênero literário que combinava outros gêneros formando, então, o que ele chama de slipstream. Esta modalidade não segue padrão único, podendo até mesmo incluir ficção científica, gótico e realismo mágico em uma só obra. Desde então, mais de vinte anos após sua revelação sobre o slipstream, a modalidade ainda não se transformou em gênero e pouco tem se discutido sobre o presente assunto. No entanto, existem várias perguntas e suposições sobre o que realmente seria slipstream e suas características para alcançar o título de gênero literário. Embora existam poucas afirmações acerca do tema, este presente trabalho visa delinear os pontos de contato entre o slipstream o Realismo Mágico. Gênero este que muito divide em características com a modalidade em questão e também definir se slipstream não seria outro nome para Realismo Mágico. Para tal proposta, tomamos a personagem literário morto-vivo ou atualmente chamado de zumbi para análise. Pois acreditamos que a presença desta figura literária corrobora para a manifestação de elementos e eventos componentes dos gêneros aqui tratados. Como objeto de estudo, tomamos as obras “A case of the stubborns” (1984) de Robert Bloch, “Sea Oak” (1997) de George Saunders e Incidente em Antares (1970) de Érico Veríssimo. Como suporte teórico, utilizaremos as colocações de Fred Botting (1996), H. P. Lovecraft (2007), Nöel Carroll (1999), com o tema do horror na literatura e para a conexão ao Realismo Mágico e o Real Maravilhoso, usaremos as afirmações de Alejo Carpentier (1987), Irlemar Chiampi e William Spindler (1993).

Full textAbstract:
Generally labelled as fantastic in nature, Maupassant's short stories pose a serious problem. The very term "fantastic" is itself highly ambiguous; there have been many attemps to define what makes a work of literature "fantastic" in nature, but none of these attempts have managed to capture the essence of the genre in its entirety.What is most striking in Maupassant's narratives is precisely his rejection of the fantastic almost as soon as it occurs. Contrary to the more traditional literature of the fantastic, his narratives remain anchored in a realistic world, rendering the reader's experience even more unsettling. In a sense, Maupassant manages to tame the fantastic by normalizing it.
We intend, therefore, to position our work at the meeting point of these two concepts---realism and fantasy---in order to determine if the definition of "fantastic realism" we will be striving for can be verified through our analysis of the following stories: "Apparition", "La chevelure", "Le Horla" (first version), "La main", "La peur", "Magnetisme" and "Sur 1'eau".

This thesis aims to broaden the scope of magical realism by examining contemporary fiction in Asia and Australasia, regions which have been largely neglected in critical discussion of the narrative mode. My research seeks to modify and expand our collective conception of magical realism through key texts that challenge not only how we read the narrative mode, but also our expectations of it. My analysis involves a dual intervention in the fields of postcolonial studies and world literature. I supplement existing scholarship of magical realism with new paradigms of critical thought, such as epistemology, mythopoeia, ecocriticism, intertextuality and discourse on human rights. Each of the key authors - Indigenous Australian Alexis Wright, New Zealand Maoris Keri Hulme and Witi Ihimaera, Indian-born cosmopolitans Amitav Ghosh and Salman Rushdie, and Chinese Nobel laureate Mo Yan - subjects the narrative mode to differing intellectual, socio-cultural and historical frameworks, and in the process reinvents magical realism to serve their own artistic purposes. The authors' key texts demonstrate the need to recalibrate theory on magical realism in contexts such as Alexis Wright's depiction of ongoing colonisation of Australia's first inhabitants in a supposedly postcolonial country, and Mo Yan's critique of post-communist China. I argue that magical realism has porous borders, not only geographically and culturally, but also in the sense that the narrative mode frequently spills over into other, different generic kinds such that the distinctions between them are often blurred. In addition, magical realism's constant state of transformation makes it particularly difficult to define. Therefore, I propose a minimalist definition of the narrative mode and a flexible approach. However, underlying cultural elements and individual artistic expression in a text may sometimes limit magical realism's utility as a tool for literary analysis. Finally, I explore the notion of a genealogy of magical realism based on polygenesis, emerging in different cultures at different times.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists in a comparison between the novels of Julien Gracq and the magical realism. More precisely, our research's main concern is about the forms of strangeness developed throughout the works of the author. We wish to demonstrate how elements of the texts---space, time, metafiction and intertextuality---generate the appropriate atmosphere for the emergence of magic. We think that, whether or not the representation includes magic, it maintains itself on the edge of the fantastic, partly because the images constantly suggest its imminence. Our intention is thus to prove that the feeling of strangeness that emerges from Gracq's fiction is a latent or embryonic form of magical realism.

La recepción crítica y la influencia literaria del realismo mágico en la literatura contemporánea china han permanecido sumidas durante mucho tiempo en un inmerecido olvido, pues tanto el mundo intelectual hispánico como el chino han tardado en considerar este tema un objeto digno de estudio. Con el presente proyecto procedemos, por un lado, a diseccionar, analizar y presentar la recepción crítica del realismo mágico en el mundo literario chino; y a examinar, por otro lado, cómo las novelas mágico-realistas influyen sobre la creación narrativa de los escritores chinos de la “literatura de la búsqueda de las raíces”. Procederemos, asimismo, a un ejercicio de intertextualidad relacionando las novelas de García Márquez con varias obras de Mo Yan, premio Nobel de Literatura de 2012.Magic realism has made a continued and enormous impact on contemporary novels since the middle eighty of last century. The reason is not only because the extensive and profound characteristics of the novels but because his novels fit on the need of Chinese contemporary literature in different periods. The pioneer novels in mid – eighty learned the form from García Márquez, Juan Rulfo in order to overturn the view that the literature is the tool of Political Ideology and let the literature return to itself. Root-seeking literature was one of the most important literature ideological trends of Chinese contemporary literature in the New Period. In the process of adopting foreign current of literacy thoughts, many writers expressed that Magic realism had left a deep impression on their works. I mainly discusses what revelation the Root-seeking novels have given us after the dialogue between these two literature ideological trends.

Full textAbstract:
I would like to present the latest novel by Said Ahmed Mohamed, Babu alipofofuka (\'When Grandfather came to life again\'), published at the end of the last year. The mine will be only a first, preliminary and very inadequate attempt as, I am sure, this work will challenge us for quite a few years. In fact, after five realistic novels the author has adopted a new technique, turning to magic realism as he himself defines his work, but perhaps it is a too limitative definition. He depicts our world in a near future, when Tanzania and other African countries will have already undergone the process of globalization. The results are disastrous: impoverished and dulled masses are governed by a handful of immensely rich, powerful and arrogant persons mostly of foreign origin, deprived of all human qualities, who have thrown away any inhibition and deliberately sunk in all sorts of physical and moral debasement; nothing embarrasses nor frightens them anymore as they feel unpunishable.

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...

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.

Full textAbstract:
This collection of short stories studies the elements of genre fiction and applies them to literary fiction. Science fiction, fantasy, and horror have specific manners in which they speak to an audience. By using these elements, for example the desensitization of the current generation of readers to most horrors, an author can demonstrate the core of the human relationship to pain, faith, or hope. Though some genre fiction seems to fit certain formulas, there are also horror or science fiction stories which do not fit a conventional mold. This collection sets forth to break away from genre fiction conventions. Also, this project utilizes the genre of magical realism, which is the medium between genre fiction and literary fiction, by using fantastic events within a mundane setting to emphasize the author's ideas. By bridging the gap between genres, magical realism reveals how interrelated the elements of all genres are. In this study stories use magical and horrifying events while maintaining an intention beyond the formulaic thrill. Therefore, genre fiction can have a place amongst literature.Department of English

Resumo: Considerado um dos expoentes do terceiro movimento modernista brasileiro, João Guimarães Rosa caracteriza-se como um escritor regionalista que tem como ponto de partida a representação do universo sertanejo mineiro para fazê-lo transcender a uma esfera mágica e poética, por meio de uma sincrética mescla de prosa e poesia. Nesse sentindo, o percurso artístico de sua obra deu continuidade à exploração dos modernistas da segunda geração, que buscaram retratar um Brasil sertanejo, e inovou na linguagem e na abordagem literária. Tratando temas sobre os contrastes da realidade brasileira a partir da diversidade cultural mineira, o escritor não só propiciou um aprofundamento na exploração da temática regional, como também soube gerar uma forma artística diferenciada, seja na maneira como aborda a cultura, seja no tratamento inovador da linguagem, através dos regionalismos linguísticos e dos neologismos. Sendo assim, é desse quadro cultural mineiro que o escritor colhe a matéria mágica que compõe sua narrativa, como ocorre nos contos ―São Marcos‖ e ―Corpo Fechado‖ - presentes em seu primeiro livro, Sagarana, publicado em 1946 -, ambos objetos de estudo deste trabalho. O modo como o escritor apresenta a religião e a magia nestes dois contos permite que sejam abordados por meio da categoria proposta pelo estudioso inglês, William Spindler: o realismo mágico antropológico, em que o narrador busca uma consciência mágica nas personagens, ainda que haja uma ambiguidade em relação à existência da crença, cuja manifestação advém da tradição mítica. Portanto, na obra de João Guimarães Rosa, as lendas e crendices locais colhidas tanto nos hábitos e na religião do povo mineiro, quanto na natureza local, bem como o tratamento formal que o autor dá aos seus textos, considerando-se a escolha dos narradores e do espaço, são elementos que permitem a aproximação dos contos selecionados com o realismo mágico...
Abstract: João Guimarães Rosa is considered one of the exponents of the third Brazilian modernist movement, characterized as a regionalist writer who departs from the backcountry of Minas Gerais and transcend it to the a magical and poetic sphere, through a syncretic poetic prose. In that sense, the artistic career of his work was followed by later modernists who sought to portray Brazil's country side, and innovated in language and literary approach. Addressing the contrasts issues of Brazilian reality and the cultural diversity of Minas Gerais, the writer provided a deepened inquiry into the regional themes while created a new artistic form, in the way he addresses the culture in innovative treatment of language through the linguistic regionalisms and neologisms. Thus, this is the mineiro cultural framework which the writer collects the raw magic materials that sets his narrative, as in tales "São Marcos" and "Corpo Fechado", present in his first book, published in 1946, Sagarana, both objects of study this work.The way the writer discusses religion and magic in these two tales configures his style in the literary category proposed by the English scholar, William Spindler, it is called anthropological magical realism, one in which the narrator seeks a magical consciousness of the characters, even though there is an ambiguity regarding whether or not to believe in magic, this awakening comes from the mythical tradition. Hence, in João Guimarães Rosa works the legends and local superstitions collected not only in the habits and religion of the Minas Gerais people as well as the local nature allow an aproach with magical realism with the formal treatment the author uses on his texts, such as the choice of narrators and space,the former being the current of contemporary literature of João Guimarães Rosa that was developed mainly in Latin America in the 1940s

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the importance of tolerating and facilitating uncertainty as it is recognised by British Independent and Kfeinian psychoanalysis and contemporary British magic realist fiction. In Part I, I offer some theoretical investigations, arguing that postmodem and some psychoanalytic discourses, namely Lacanian psychostructuralism, remarkably fail to address the challenges facing subjects in late- twentieth, early twenty-first century consumer culture. In their inability to tolerate paradoxes and uncertainty, these discourses objectify the subject, through processes of depersonalisation, derealisation and desubjectification. To redress these problems, I offer the work of British psychoanalysts, specifically, that of D. W. Winnicott and Melanie Klein and her followers. These perspectives, I argue, better serve the contemporary subject by recognising the importance of paradox and helping develop facilitating environments for the realisation of creative experience. In Part II, I examine how the play of paradox is fostered in contemporary British magic realist fiction. Specifically, I look at how these narrative strategies attempt to move away from the vicissitudes of internal and external, certainty and uncertainty, reason and unreason, to negotiate a Winnicottian third, potential space. The conceptualisation of such a space, I believe, offers a place from which we can begin to dialogue, to draw ourselves out of the oppositional dialectics that have plagued the bourgeois subject. I believe that in the novels of writers such as Jeanette Winterson, Joanne Harris, John Fowles, John Murray and, most especially, Angela Carter, we can find alternatives to bourgeois conceptions of reason and rationality, alternatives that are not based on the paranoid-schizoid, primitive processes and depersonalisation necessitated by the Enlightenment and capitalism but instead upon, in Kleinian terms, depressive ambivalence and the recognition of whole-objects.

Full textAbstract:
Les premiers discours sur l’art en Haïti ont été envisagés à partir de la question de l’autre. Il s’agissait de savoir comment la littérature aiderait à définir une identité haïtienne. Ce travail interroge la littérature et la peinture sur la problématique de l’autre, l’autre du dedans, où l’altérité se joue entre les membres d’une même société. Les productions artistiques et culturelles populaires sont analysées à travers le prisme de l’art naïf qui est à la base de la réflexion sur le rapport entre littérature et peinture. Dans un premier temps, les représentations du monde rural par le mouvement indigéniste sont explorées dans les discours littéraires et picturaux, afin de voir si la pratique a su répondre aux objectifs théoriques énoncés par les penseurs du mouvement. Dans un second temps, le dialogue entre la littérature et peinture est traité à partir de plusieurs points de vue : culturel, social, esthétique, en nous appuyant sur les romans suivants, La contrainte de l’inachevé d’Anthony Phelps, L’Énigme du retour de Dany Laferrière et Yanvalou pour Charly de Lyonel Trouillot. Tandis qu’en peinture nos analyses se réfèrent aux toiles de André Normil, Wilson Bigaud, Wilbert Laurent ou Pétion Savain, entre autresThe first writings on art in Haiti were based on the questioning of otherness - the aim was to know how literature could help define a Haitian identity. This dissertation uses literature and painting to explore this issue of otherness – an otherness inside, in which otherness lies between the members of a same society. The popular artistic and cultural productions are analyzed through the perspective of Naïve Art which gives birth to this reflection on the interaction between literature and painting. The representations of the rural world by the indigenous movement are first explored in literary and pictorial works, in order to see if practice could match the theoretical objectives established by the thinkers of the movement. The dialogue between literature and painting is then explored through several perspectives – cultural, social, esthetic ones, while studying the following novels, La contrainte de l’inachevé by Anthony Phelps, L’Énigme du retour by Dany Laferrière and Yanvalou pour Charly by Lyonel Trouillot. In painting, our analyses notably refer to the works of André Normil, Wilson Bigaud, Wilbert Laurent or Pétion Savain among others

Full textAbstract:
Ce mémoire est centré sur les caractéristiques fantastiques dans le Spectre large de Gérard Prévot (1975) et par la suite, sur une comparaison avec les caractéristiques d’un autre recueil de Prévot, la Nuit du Nord (1974), étudié par Ricci en 1993. Notre analyse est basée sur la théorie du fantastique de Tzvetan Todorov qui met en avant l’hésitation à savoir si le phénomène énigmatique provient de l’étrange ou du merveilleux. L’étude de l’œuvre littéraire de Prévot est intéressante car, comparé aux autres fantastiqueurs belges comme Jean Ray ou Thomas Owen, Gérard Prévot reste relativement inconnu et peu étudié. Pour ce qui est du résultat, nous trouvons que les contes du recueil ont des qualités variées relativement à la théorie fantastique. Les principales caractéristiques fantastiques du Spectre large naissent surtout grâce à une narration à point de vue limité et au narrateur obscur, parfois inconnu. Le fantastique naît aussi grâce à l’intrigue qui fait venir la force perturbatrice, souvent à la toute dernière page. En comparant nos résultats avec l’étude de Ricci (1993), nous trouvons plusieurs points en commun mais aussi de divergence. Prévot a écrit les deux livres en utilisant un lexique similaire et les contes se déroulent souvent dans des lieux similaires, dans le Nord — un lieu ayant des connotations mystiques. Un fantastique dit « social » se trouve aussi dans les deux recueils. La principale différence entre les deux livres est la narration. Tandis que le narrateur de la Nuit du Nord possède un savoir absolu qui lui donne le statut omniscient, il est clairement limité dans son point de vue et parfois anonyme dans le Spectre large.This thesis is centred on the fantastic features in Le Spectre Large by Gérard Prévot (1975) and subsequently on a comparison with the features from another collection by Prévot, La Nuit du Nord (1974), studied by Ricci in 1993. The analysis is based on Tzvetan Todorov’s theory of the fantastic, which puts its emphasis on the hesitation whether the enigmatic phenomena has its origins in the natural (uncanny) or the supernatural (marvellous) world. The research of Prévot’s literary work is interesting given that, compared to other Belgian fantastic writers such as Jean Ray or Thomas Owen, Gérard Prévot is still rather unknown and not much studied. With regard to the results, it is found that the stories have a mixed qualities in relation to fantastic theory. In the better tales, the fantastic is born out of a narration with a limited point of view and a vague and sometimes unknown narrator. It is also born out of the plot which introduces the disruptive elements at the very last page. When comparing the corpus with Ricci’s study (1993), several common features are found, but also a few differences. Prévot has written the two books using a similar vocabulary and the stories often take place in related environments – the North, a place with mysterious connotations. A fantastic which Ricci calls “social” can also be found in both collections. The main point of difference between the books is the narration. While the narrator in La Nuit du Nord has an omniscient status, the one in Le Spectre Large is clearly limited and anonymous.

O objetivo deste estudo é investigar como a estética do realismo mágico, que está diretamente ligada ao contexto sócio-político da América Latina, foi traduzida para uma narrativa Hollywoodiana. O trabalho realiza uma análise comparativa entre os romances do gênero realismo mágico A Casa dos Espíritos (1982), de Isabel Allende, e Como Água Para Chocolate (1989), de Laura Esquivel, e as adaptações dos livros ao cinema. Uma análise dos dois filmes, A Casa dos Espíritos (1993), de Bille August, e Como Água Para Chocolate (1993), dirigido por Alfonso Arau, em relação a elementos cinematográficos tais como mise-en-scene (cenário, iluminação, figurino e personagens), enredo, narrativa, motivação e linhas de ação nos leva à conclusão de que Arau obteve mais sucesso do que August ao transferir a estética do realismo mágico para o cinema.

Find full textAbstract:
"Genuine Cherry Red" is a fiction novel.
It is the story of three people who live in a house beside a hill in the flattest place on earth - an almost fable-like setting. In different ways, each is locked inside the order and control they have constructed through the years. Surrounded by nature and its reliable cycle, they are resisting change and denying the unpredictable randomness of life. Marta is a young woman who is both intelligent and naïve, caught inside a private maze of thinking and rethinking. She lives with her mother's cousin Ena who gave up nursing to take Marta in when her mother succumbed to depression, and Ena' s husband Len, a successful and prolific writer of cowboy fiction. Since a cancer diagnosis, Len - who had been living with multiple
sclerosis - has been virtually catatonic ... until Grey Bob suddenly arrives. The central character of Len's fictional stories permeates their lives and things begin to change.
The natural environment, the people of the nearby town, the order of the house all transform and Marta, Ena and Len struggle to cope. But they have no choice. When the inevitable shifts occur, spontaneous events have impact and disease progresses, each member of the family eventually finds a way to deal with the fact that reality can be
haphazard and out of their control. So, through the presence of a fictional character, three people are forced to confront the erratic nature of human life.
