Maufort, Jessica. "Ecological Magic Realism and Magic Realist Ecopoetics: Storying Place in Postcolonial Canadian and Australasian Novels." Doctoral thesis, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, 2018. https://dipot.ulb.ac.be/dspace/bitstream/2013/276457/5/Contrat.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This comparative reading of contemporary Australasian and Canadian fiction privileges a reciprocal interaction between ecocriticism and magic realism within the field of postcolonial studies. My research shows that few works examine magic realism as a distinct aesthetic mode, while many ecocritical and postcolonial studies favour colonialist and pessimistic perspectives. Seeking to balance thematic and aesthetic concerns, my concepts of ecological magic realism and magic realist ecopoetics re-evaluate this still often misunderstood mode: its techniques in postcolonial narratives not only transcribe the cultural plight of the postcolonial subject, but also translate the missing ecological link between the environment and human beings. Informed by ecopoetic reflections on figurative language, Delbaere-Garant’s notion of mythic realism, and material ecocriticism, my concepts take the narrative and physical agency – or poiesis – of the non-human world as their focal point. Recognizing the dialogical web of human and non-human energies raises the issues of eco-imperialism as well as those of environmental and social justice. My thesis discusses two main configurations of ecological magic realism common to Anglo-Celtic and Indigenous texts within my corpus: synergy and crisis. These shifting interspecies relations are explored through the contexts of eco-spiritualities, scientific approaches to Nature, Nature writing, gothic-like metamorphoses, eco-apocalypse, and the Anthropocene. Rejecting dualistic worldviews, magic realism in these collaborative or competitive humans/Nature interactions remains ambivalent: on the one hand, it re-enacts human beings’ failed embeddedness in their non-human surroundings; on the other, it also re-opens the possibility of a mutually-enriching symbiosis.Doctorat en Langues, lettres et traductologie

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Calvino and El Siglo de las Luces (1962), by Alejo Carpentier, since both have confluences regarding the existence of historical references, since the entanglements both of which take place in the eighteenth century, amidst the French Revolution and the Enlightenment ideals.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)

Viñao, Alejandro. "Magic realism in music : four electroacoustic compositions." Thesis, City University London, 1987. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/8344/.
Full textAbstract:
The subject of this thesis is not the text contained in this book, but the four electroacoustic compositions presented: Go, Hendrix Haze, Triple Concerto and Toccata del Mago. The purpose of this writing is to put forward a context in which these four compositions may be assessed. In chapter 1, I choose to present my work taking a lateral approach. Rather than discuss my background as a composer and the reasons or 'necessity' for using the electroacoustic medium to express my musical thinking, I have instead introduced a new idea to provide a wider context: Magic Realism in music. I have developed the notion that there is a musical equivalent to Magic Realism in literature, and that my work, as well as the work of other Latin American composers, may be seen in this light. Also in this chapter, I put forward the idea that the electroacoustic medium may be the natural environment or 'habitat', as it were, for the Magic Realist composer to develop. Chapters 2 to 5 present a specific framework, that is, the aesthetic point of VIew and the technical means involved in the creation of each piece. In these chapters, the compositional process is presented, from the first, often abstract ideas that trigger the imagination of a composer, to the decision taken during the final production stage in the studio. It is hoped that this specific framework will convey the necessary Information required for a preliminary assessment of the music presented, in terms of the composer's aims and the results obtained. Yet, a piece of music can be a far more complex and richer phenomenon than the composer's aims and intentions, and it must be ultimately assessed in its own terms.

Sanchez, Maria Ruth Noriega. "Magic realism in contemporary American women's fiction." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2001. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3502/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of the study is to illustrate the importance of magic realism in American women's fiction in the late twentieth century. The term magic realism, which has traditionally been associated with Latin American men's writing, has been known by different, and often contradictory, definitions. It may be argued that, properly defined, it can be a valid term to describe a number of characteristics common to a corpus of work, and can be considered as an aesthetic category different from others such as Surrealism or Fantastic literature, with which it has often been compared. Furthermore, magic realism has viability as a contemporary international mode and is particularly suitable to women writers from minority ethnic groups. The present study intends to draw relevant comparative analyses of uses of magic realism that show various formal and thematic interactions between separate literary traditions. The introduction offers an overview of the different conceptions and applications of the term since its origins within the area of painting, and suggests a working definition that can be effective for intensive textual analysis of several novels. In order to offer a new approach which can enable us to move away the paradigm of magic realism from Latin America towards a more multicultural framework, the focus will be on three geographical-cultural areas: African American, Native American and Chicano/Mexican writing. The implementation of magic realist strategies in African American writing will be examined in Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon (1977) and Gloria Naylor's Mama Day (1988), with a particular emphasis on the significance of African mythical background and the experience of dispossession and transference of culture. Magic realist elements in the novels Tracks (1988) by Louise Erdrich and Ceremony (1977) by Leslie Marmon Silko will be studied in the context of Native American oral tradition and cosmologies. The practice of magic realism on both sides of the U. S. - Mexico border will be explored in the novels So Far from God (1993), by the Chicana Ana Castillo, and Like Water for Chocolate (1989), by the Mexican Laura Esquivel. A description of the borderland culture in the American Southwest, as well as comparisons between North and Latin American uses of magic realism will be provided. Finally, some connections amongst the discussed literary traditions and further lines of research will be suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsen är en litteraturvetenskaplig analys av Marianne Fredrikssons roman Simon och ekarna utifrån genren magisk realism. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka och diskutera hur romanens övernaturliga element samspelar och kontrasterar med romanens realistiska element, samt hur romanen passar in i den magiskt realistiska traditionen. Detta görs främst utifrån Wendy B. Faris fem kriterier för magiskt realistisk litteratur, samt hennes begrepp avfokalisering. I uppsatsens analysdel sker en genomgång av samtliga fem kriterier som diskuteras i förhållande till romanens handling och tematik. Uppsatsen förhåller sig också till Talia E. Crocketts artikel om användningen av textuell tystnad för att beskriva Förintelsen i Simon och ekarna, och finner att den magiska realismen liksom den textuella tystnaden används för att hantera och beskriva det obeskrivliga. Uppsatsen finner vidare att Simon och ekarna placerar sig i den magiskt realistiska traditionen genom sin sammanblandning av gammal folktro, övernaturliga element och realistiska stil.

Granger, Mireille. "Maupassant et le realisme fantastique." Thesis, McGill University, 2001. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=32912.
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".

Résumé: Le "magic realism" existe depuis plusieurs années, mais les critiques littéraires semblent l'avoir ignoré. Seulement quelques personnes, surtout dans l'ouest canadien, semblent croire qu'il a une valeur. Même si ce genre littéraire est présent dans la littérature québécoise le seul terme français connu pour le qualifier est la traduction "réalisme magique" qui ne rend pas le sens exact du genre. Le style est plus reconnu au Canada anglais, mais a rarement été étudié. Geoff Hancock est probablement celui qui a fait le plus dans ce domaine; il a publié plusieurs articles, une collection de nouvelles et a participé à la conférence sur le réalisme magique à l'Université de Waterloo en 1985. C'est probablement à cause de sa "magie" que le réalisme magique a de la difficulté à se faire prendre au sérieux dans le monde littéraire. S'il est vrai que le message que transmet un mélange de réalisme et de magie peut sembler superficiel, il n'en reste pas moins qu'à plusieurs égards il reflète une plus grande réalité que le simple réalisme. Parce que le réalisme magique utilise les mythes et légendes d'une société, il en exprime la réalité dans toutes ses dimensions. La première question à se poser est: Qu'est-ce que le réalisme magique? Dans son livre Magic Realism, Geoff Hancock définit le réalisme magique comme étant le mélange d'éléments fantastiques à la vie de tous les jours. Ceci en est la définition la plus simple, mais le réalisme magique est beaucoup plus complexe que ça. Certains disent que le réalisme magique est plus réel que le réalisme parce qu'il examine un imaginaire qui fait intégralement partie de la réalité d'un peuple. […]||Abstract: Magic realism has existed for years, but for some reason scholars have, to a certain extent, ignored it. Only a few people seem to think it is worthy of study. One proof of this is that, although the style exists in Québec literature, there is no equivalent to the expression "magic realism" in French. Novels written in the style in Québec have been studied from every angle except this one, as if scholars in Québec do not know the style even exists, or they do not want to recognise it. They most often refer to the magical elements of these novels as the characters' imagination at play and give them a meaning according to that role. In English-Canadian literature the style is recognised but has rarely been studied. Only a few people, mostly in Western Canada, seem to be interested in the matter. Geoff Hancock is probably the one who did the most in this field; he has published several articles, a collection of short stories, and participated in the conference on magic realism at the University of Waterloo in 1985.[...]

Magistro darbe tyrimas atskleidė, kad magiško(jo) realizmo poetikai romanuose svarbus interdiscipliniškumo aspektas. Biblijos, istorijos, mitologijos faktų pateikimas sumaišo dabartį ir praeitį, tikroviškus ir antgamtinius reiškinius, universalumą ir realybę. Magiško(jo) realizmo poetika atskleidžia netikėtą kultūros ir civilizacijos opoziciją, kur gamta, papročiai, tradicijos priskiriamos būtent kultūros fenomenui, o civilizacija priartinama mokslo ir taisyklių sampratai. Unikali naratyvo forma, laikų, vietų kaita, vardų vartojimas – priartintų stebuklo, neįtikėtinų įvykių galimybę. Visa tai – magiško(jo) realizmo poetikoje skirta skaitytojo įtraukimui į tekstą, jo aktyvinimui ir stebinimui.The research revealed that the aspect of interdisciplinarity was important for the poetics of magic(al) realism in the novels. Presentation of biblical, historic, mythological facts blended the present and the past, realistic and supernatural phenomena, versatility and reality. The poetics of magic(al) realism revealed an unexpected opposition of culture and civilisation, where nature, manners, traditions were attributed namely to the cultural phenomenon, and the civilization was brought closer to the concept of science and rules. A unique form of narrative, vicissitude of times and locations, usage of names – should anticipate the possibility of a miracle, unbelievable events. In the poetics of magic(al) realism, all that is used for involvement of a reader into the text, his/her activation and causing surprise.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay I examine the political implications of the shifts in definition of the term, "magic realism". Magic realism as it was originally employed in the Latin-American context signified a concept different to what it is currently held to suggest in metropolitan literary discourse. Magic realism in the first world has come to be regarded as a third world reflection of its own cultural dominant, postmodernism, without an acknowledgement of the alternative material realities which inform it. I investigate these ideas through an analysis of the work of two novelists, namely, the Colombian, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and the American, John Barth. In a well-known essay titled "The Literature of Replenishment", Barth names Garcia Marquez as the foremost postmodern writer. This is deceptive, I argue, since although in the essay Barth presents postmodernist fiction as a political advance on the earlier styles of realism and modernism, his own fictional practice contradicts his claim. While in the essay Barth presents postmodernism as politically significant by virtue of its "democratic impulse", his novel, Chimera, seeks to avoid the political through a flawed understanding of textuality. Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude stands in stark contrast with Chimera since it underscores the political consideration central to discourse through stressing the text's material, historical context. This distinction between the two novels is brought to light particularly through the incremental differences in their use of the techniques of "narrative circularity" and repetition. I argue, furthermore, that Garcia Marquez's emphasis on language as a material practice is, at least in part, owing to the specifics of the style of magic realism. While postmodernist fiction, one of the cultural effects of an advanced capitalism, may slide ineluctably into notions of pure textuality, magic realism, constituted as it is at the interface of pre-capitalist and capitalist modes of production, compels an acknowledgement of the material world.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis the subject of grief and healing are examined in three novels by the Japanese writers Hiromi Kawakami, Ruth Ozeki and Banana Yoshimoto. The method for the analysis is based on psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ Five Stages of Grief theory, but in the analysis of these novels, it became clear that the grief/healing-stages for the protagonists are not expressed in the exact same manner as the non-fictional patients of Kübler-Ross’ study. The analysis shows that this is partly due to the fact that the narratives take place in Japan and that there is a clear intervention where the writers have used magical interruptions in their realistic portrayal of bereavement, to help the protagonists begin to recover. These magical interruptions, this thesis states, are the use of magical realism, especially connected to the long history of Japanese folklore and myth. As a result, this thesis presents a modified model of analysis, which also reflects how the protagonists filled with bereavement and sorrow can be helped to heal and recover by the interruption of fantastic and magical events. Through this study it has become clear that not only is the need for healing significant but the need for family, relationships and a sense of belonging are just as important. To re-connect with their lost loved ones, whomever they may be, these characters must cross through the magical interventions within the narratives and dare to reach out to the people around them, strengthened by their loss and trauma, rather than fearing relationships with others due to previous trauma and grief.

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).

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. No romance carpentiano, Esteban é curado da asma graças a rituais curandeiros fator que pode ser associado ao realismo maravilhoso. Em outros momentos, buscamos evidenciar alguns aspectos fabulistas em Il barone rampante e do barroquismo latino americano em El Siglo de las Luces. No final da tese, apontamos certas características que aproximam ainda mais Il barone rampante de El Siglo de las Luces, visto que são abordadas temáticas em comum nos dois romances, como, por exemplo, a busca pelo conhecimento, a solidão, a frustração, os avanços tecnológicos e a esperança em um mundo melhor por meio do incentivo à educação, ao conhecimento e através de movimentos revolucionários. Em outras palavras, há o tratamento de temas importantíssimos como esses, por meio de uma revisitação ao passado, no caso, à Revolução Francesa serve para levar o leitor à reflexão sobre os contextos que os autores viveram no século XX, a exemplo do fascismo e dos movimentos de resistência na Itália; da ditadura em Cuba bem como o triunfo da Revolução Cubana, ou seja, movimentos de resistência que necessitaram da união coletiva para que houvesse de fato mudanças benéficas para população, condição fundamental que permeia o modo de agir dos personagens das obras analisadas. Esses movimentos até os dias atuais são imprescindíveis para que haja transformações concretas na sociedade em torno da igualdade, do respeito e da aplicação dos direitos humanos para todos.
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. At the end of the thesis, we point out certain characteristics that approach even more the Il barone rampante to El Siglo de las Luces, since themes are discussed in common in both novels, such as the search for knowledge, loneliness, frustration, technological advances and hope for a better world by encouraging education, knowledge and revolutionary movements. In other words, there is the treatment of such important subjects as a revision of the past, in this case the French Revolution, serves to lead the reader to reflect on the contexts that the authors lived in the twentieth century, such as fascism and Resistance movements in Italy; of the dictatorship in Cuba, as well as the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, that is, resistance movements that necessitated a collective union so that there was indeed beneficial changes for the population, a fundamental condition that permeates the behavior of the characters in the analyzed literary works. These movements until nowadays are essentials for concrete transformations in society around equality, respect and the application of human rights for all.

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.

Previous issue date: 2015-04-01This study concerns the identification and the analysis of the characteristics of this fantastic work in O dono do mar, José Sarney, as the highlight and all the supernatural and magical dream like atmosphere that surrounds the story, giving it an aspect linked to unusual dense and terror, that soon will characterize the work as a narrative that leans towards Realism fantastic and Realism magical. We will draw for both, the theorist Tzvetan Todorov to our theoretical framework, especially in his Introduction to Fantastic Literature and also some of his scholars. We chose to work with this work by presenting high range around our goals and purpose, as evidenced in passages that prove the theory regarding the dialogic interface.
Este estudo concerne à identificação e à análise das características do fantástico presente na obra O dono do mar, de José Sarney, com destaque ao sobrenatural e fantástica e mágica que envolve a história, atribuindo-lhe um aspecto denso ligado ao insólito e ao terror, que permitirão caracterizar a obra como narrativa que tem traços tanto do Realismo Fantástico quanto do Realismo Maravilhoso. Recorreremos, para tanto, às formulações desenvolvidas por Tzvetan Todorov, sobretudo, em Introdução a Literatura Fantástica e também a alguns de seus estudiosos. Optamos por estudar o romance O dono do mar, por se tratar de uma obra que apresenta variedade de elementos literários pertinentes aos nossos objetivos e propósitos.

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)

Full textAbstract:
I create spaces, that are presented as sets (scenographies), by working with storytelling, colour, geometry and transitions. By exploring tangible and abstract elements, I compose different atmospheres. Atmosphere is the central aesthetic category in my work, and creating an emotional experience through space is my intention. The spaces are inspired by a magic realist novel. I transpose the text into images, to then sculpt spaces with geometry, colour and light. I write new stories and descriptions about these spaces as I imagine the atmospheres to be experienced. Transitions are fundamental to my project: the transition of Latin-American references within magic realism and emotional architecture, to my own context at this moment in Sweden; the transition from text to space (and vice versa); and the transitions between spaces in my composition. These are my apparatuses in sculpting the emotional and magic space.The full thesis contains copyrighted material which has been removed in the published version.

“The More You Look, the more THERE IS to see…” From Hinekaro Goes on a Picnic and Blows up Another Obelisk (Christine Parker, Oceania Parker, 1995) In the 1990s New Zealand was in the grip of free market fundamentalism, neo-liberal deregulation of the economy having begun in the mid-eighties. The Maori protest movement was a major source of societal conflict and feminism had become the ‘F’ word. This study examines my writing and directing during the 1990s in New Zealand. It is proposed that the films contributed to national and international conversations around feminism, colonial struggles, spirituality and the supernatural. It is argued that these works offer a social critique of neoliberalism and the divisive effects of it, on women in particular. In the context of this appraisal neoliberalism is understood to be a set of beliefs that support the functioning of the global free market, with minimal government regulation, except to protect the functioning of private enterprise and the ownership of private property. The short films One Man’s Meat (1991), Peach (1993), and Hinekaro Goes on a Picnic and Blows up Another Obelisk (1995) and the feature film Channelling Baby (1999) are located in an oeuvre of female, Gay, and Maori film makers and artists responding to this environment. The recurrence of alternative utopias, the use of magic realism and the representation of the spiritual and supernatural in my work are also considered in relation to other films made in the period. A case is made that the films were part of a small vanguard of films responding to the 1990s status quo by offering alternative modes of discourse to the dominant economic rationalism. Rich in visual intensity and heightened narrative tropes, such as irony and fragmented narratives, my aesthetic choices, together with recurring themes of chance and fate, agency and identity, are considered to link the films together as a coherent study. While the works are located in an evolving feminist tradition in the 1990s, their continued relevance today, particularly in relation to foregrounding marginal voices and the disruption of dominant paradigms and expectations of female behaviour and identity, underpin the claim for originality.

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:
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.

Syftet med min uppsats har varit att undersöka mitt författarskap, dess litterära språk och plats i den samtida litteraturen, genom att analysera min novell ”När hedningen kom till byn”. Undersökningen består av översikter över de genrer jag tycker min text passar inom: magisk realism, norrländsk litteratur och skräcklitteratur; undersökning av författares verk som har influerat mig och varit representativa för den genre de skriver inom; mina kurskamraters och handledares reaktioner och konstruktiva kritik på novellen. Resultaten av genreundersökningarna visar hur jag använt eller inte använt mig av respektive genres olika särdrag och markörer samt hur min text förhåller sig till dess samtida författare. I undersökningen av skrivprocessen framgick textens styrkor och svagheter. Mina slutsatser är att genrebestämningen av novellen är beroende av med vilken blick man väljer att läsa texten. Jag upptäckte också att jag delvis följer de traditionella skrivmönstren inom respektive genre samtidigt som jag har min egen särprägel och ton samt sätt att framställa en text.The aim of my thesis is to examine my authorship by making an analysis of my short story ”När hedningen kom till byn”. The literary language and its placement in contemporary literature is what I focused on while examinating. My analysis consists of overviews of the genres in which I think my short story fits: magical realism, Swedish northern literature and horror literature. Analyses of other authors’ essays in these genres have been done, as they influence the story in different ways. Constructive criticisms from my fellow students and supervisors have improved the examination. The result of the investigation of the genres shows whether I have used their different characteristics and markers or not. It also presents where the text remains in relation to other contemporary authors. The analysis of the writing process reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the text. I reached the conclusion that the genre of my short story varies, depending on the perspective with which it is read. Another conclusion is that, although I have followed some of the traditional writing patterns in each genre I have my own distinctiveness when it comes to creating, writing and designing a text.

Full textAbstract:
Elias och Leonora blir sammanförda som av en osynlig kraft. Båda har sina skäl att inte inleda en relation, men de blir motvilligt förälskade i varandra. En förälskelse de inte ens erkänner för sig själva. Under ytan sker dock en dold kommunikation, på flera plan, som de har svårt att värja sig mot. Där upplevs och uttrycks en empati och kärlek som de inte riktigt förstår eller kan styra. En kärlek som lever sitt eget liv. Oavsett avstånd. Denna text är en del av slutet på ett romanprojekt.

Bibliography: leaves 58-62.To meet the requirements for the Master of Fine Art degree at the University of Cape Town my intention was to develop a series of sculptural assemblages which address a sense of subjective or poetic reality, using symbolically resonant found and fabricated objects. The body of work is to be understood as a sculptural parallel to (but not illustrative of) Magical Realist literature, in which arcane phenomena are incorporated into a narrative in order to achieve just such a sense of subjective reality.

This article will present a short story which appeared in the newspaper Mzalendo on the 15th January 1978, but it took twenty-six years before it was published in a book. Presumably it was written in the same period as both the play Kaputula la Marx and probably also as some of Kezilahabi’s poems from the second collection Karibu ndani (1988). It is a period of his most critical works. In Mayai – Waziri wa Maradhi the author blames, in a highly symbolic manner, the leading classes of his country who became rich at the expense of common citizens during ten years of Independence, symbolized by ten emaciated ghostly children.

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.
