Full textTriadic configurations of characters turn out to be a constitutive element of thomas mann's narrative work, a key enabling the reader to clarify the ways in which the narrative proceeds and to understand thomas mann's thought in its most subtle psychological motivating forces. Common denominator to various themes such as adultery, the art/middle class antagonism, homosexuality and incest, the triadic configurations of characters reveal the existence of fecund interrelationships between reality as experienced by thomas mann and its literary transcription. Privileged place where life and fiction, but also consciousness and unconsciousness, meet, "seismograph" of sometimes traumatic affective shocks, the triadic structure faithfully reflects the emotional complexity of a writer who, as he followed an ardent spiritual quest, endeavoured to compensate for the profound duality of his existence. The numerous, sparkling triadic configurations of characters prove to be the pre-eminent place where a desire for synthesis operates. It ends in a failure before resulting, in the joseph and his brothers tetralogy, in the hope for a fully realized humanity, a symbol of androgyny and of "coincidentia oppositorum". Yet, ternarity finally appears as the reflection of a fundamental ambivalence in thomas mann, the resolution of contradictions being actually a fading victory, bound to be conquered again and again and liable to be lost again and again

Full textThe study consists of four chapters which examine four contexts in which the story, for the purposes of this thesis, should be interpreted. The first is historical, in which the previous reception of the novella, as well as the author's own struggle with his identity, is investigated. In the second, Mann's philosophical paradigms to represent homoeroticism, drawn largely from classical Greece and Nietzsche, are examined. Freud's views of homosexuality and sublimation furnish the basis for the third chapter, in which sublimated imagery of sexual desire in the text is considered. Finally, the narrative strategies employed by Mann that render the story palatable to his heterosexual, bourgeois reading audience are illustrated in the fourth chapter.

Full textThe present study proposes a vision on the manner in which the temporal novels of Thomas Mann and Marcel Proust reflect tim on a historical, autobiographical and fictional level. Thus it is structured in three parts, each chapter rigorously dealing with the historical, autobiographical and fictional levels of the temporality of the two literary works respectively. First part, historical time: in the first part of the present study, we explain the thematic choice made by Mann and Proust for 'La montagne magique' and, respectively, for 'La recherche', by the historical context in which the two works are places. Second part: biographical time, the second part of the present study deals with the similitude between the temporal novels of Mann and Proust and the literary genre of the two authors, but also their way of receiving and understanding the autobiographical genre. Goethe's different perception is also their way of receiving and understanding the autobiographical genre. Goethe's different perception is also one of the main points of our thesis. Third part: fictional time, a debate on the autobiographical time in 'La recherche' and 'La montagne magique' is connected to the discussion that opens the third part of the present thesis, which deals with fictional time. This debate concerns the definition of the temporal novel, situated between the autobiography, the social novel and "le roman à theses". Our purpose is to prove that in the works of Thomas Mann and Marcel Proust we can identify similar techniques of rendering temporality. The temporal metaphor, the symbol of time, the temporal repetition and mainly the descriptions related to the modulations of subjective time are also the object of our present thesis. It is the involuntary memory that offers one of the most significant departure points for all stylistic perspectives

Full textEven if his name does not appear anywhere, Hermès has his place in the novel of Thomas Mann Joseph and his brothers. But only Hermès, the Greek god, had been seen up to now. This study shows that another Hermès haunts the tetralogy, Hermès-Trismégiste, the father of the hermetic or alchemical tradition. After having revealed the presence of this other Hermès and the function of the hermetic metaphor in the framework, the analysis explores the reasons for the fascination of the author for this theme. It would appear that this one is systematically invoked in the creative imagination of the writer whenever there is a question of education. Because Joseph is the only education novel that Mann managed to write, a novel which examines all the meanings of generic designation: education of the hero, education of the reader, education of the author to the benefit of the formation of the work. Why then is the hermetic metaphor, in spite of its extraordinarily expressive quality, so discrete in this novel?

Resumo: A presente tese toma como corpus de análise o romance alemão Doutor Fausto, escrito por Thomas Mann entre os anos de 1943 a 1947. Objetivando reconhecer e apontar nele possíveis influências e aspectos pertencentes diretamente ao universo composicional da música erudita, este texto - pautando-se no processo metodológico de comparação entre a literatura e a música apresentado por Steven Paul Scher e Solange Ribeiro de Oliveira - relaciona o referido romance de Mann com a musicografia do compositor austríaco Arnold Schönberg; e propõe, a partir de tais relações, uma leitura de Doutor Fausto à luz das ideias e teorias expostas pelo filósofo Theodor W. Adorno em seus livros Filosofia da Nova Música e Dialética do Esclarecimento

Resumo: A presente dissertação de mestrado dedica-se a verificar como o romance de Thomas Mann A montanha mágica poderia filiar-se ao gênero literário do Bildungsroman. Sua introdução é um breve comentário sobre o estabelecimento do gênero literário do Bildungsroman enquanto tal, seguido de um excurso, igualmente breve, aos temas que ocupavam Thomas Mann aquando da redação deste seu romance, mediante a identificação de temas centrais das Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen (Considerações de um apolítico). Feito isto, parte-se ao trabalho propriamente dito de pôr A montanha mágica ao lado do romance de Goethe Anos de aprendizado de Wilhelm Meister, paradigma do gênero em causa, para investigar o proveito em lê-Io como Bildungsroman. A própria questão sobre o que seria efetivamente um Bildungsroman desperta polêmica até os dias atuais. Discutir A montanha mágica na qualidade de Bildungsromanimplica,pois - sempretacitamente-, em voltar à pergunta sobre o que teria feito dos Anos de aprendizado de Wilhelm Meister o primeiro romance de uma série que constituiu tradição dentro da literatura de língua alemã. Mas esta pergunta não é apresentada como tal no corpo do texto, pois o que se pretendeu foi cingir-se a aproximar ambos os romances e esclarecer como este expediente é eficaz para compreendê-Ios. Seja como for, espera-se que mesmo a investigação do gênero tomada em si mesma sempre possa aproveitar-se das diversas incursões que se têm feito ao longo do tempo àquelas obras a ele imputadas
Zusammenfassung: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit Thomas Manns Roman Der Zauberberg der literarischen Gattung des Bildungsromans zugeordnet werden kann. Die Einleitung der Arbeit besteht aus einem Kurzkommentar über die Entstehung der literarischen Gattung des Bildungsromans; dem folgt, indem die zentralen Themen aus Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen bestimmt werden, ein Exkurs über die Themen, die Thomas Mann zur Zeit der Niederschrift des Romans beschãftigten. Im Hauptteil der Arbeit wird Der Zauberberg dem Roman von Goethe Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre - dem Paradigma der Gattung - zur Seite gestellt, und es wird untersucht, ob Thomas Manns Buch in produktiver Weise aIs Bildungsroman gelesen werden kann. Die Frage, was eigentlich ein Bildungsroman sei, ist auch in heutiger Zeit noch umstritten. Eine Betrachtung Des Zauberbergs aIs Bildungsroman impliziert aIso immer auch - wenngleich unausgesprochen - eine Rückbetrachtung der Gründe, die Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre zum ersten Roman einer Gattung werden lieBen, die sich dann - aus heutiger Sicht - aIs Tradition in der deutschsprachigen Literatur etabliert hat. Dieser Fragestellung wird jedoch im HauptteiI der Arbeit nicht nachgegangen, da dieser sich darauf beschrãnkt, beide Romane gegenüberzustellen, um dadurch aufzuklãren, ob dieser Weg geeignet ist, sie zu verstehen. Es wird jedoch gehofft, dass eine Untersuchung der Gattung aIs solche aus den verschiedenen Annãherungen, die im Lauf der Zeit an ihr unterstellte Werke gemacht wurden, Nutzen ziehen kann

Full textThe present research examines the film "Morte a Venezia" and focuses on the technique of cinematographic transposition that Luchino Visconti applied to Thomas Mann's short novel, "Der tod und Venedig". The theories about the cinematographic adaptation in general and specifically the reflections that the paradigmatic transposition of "Morte a Venezia" has provoked are reviewed. The essay highlights the centrality of the quote from Plato's "Phaedrus" in the novel and questions Mario Vargas Llosa's interpretation of the Platonic intertext. In this way, it facilitates the distinction between the written work and the film in ethics, aesthetics and mystic themes. Finally, it is concluded that a good transposition is paradoxical, since it achieves that two different works are poetically the same.

Full textA presente dissertação de mestrado busca estabelecer uma comparação entre os conceitos “apolíneo” e “dionisíaco” apresentados por Thomas Mann em seu romance A montanha mágica (1924) e por Nietzsche em O Nascimento da Tragédia ou Helenismo e Pessimismo (1872), de modo a verificar em que se assemelham ou diferenciam, segundo a perspectiva assumida pelos autores na concepção do individualismo. Investigaremos em que medida a noção do individual presente em Mann – constituída pela dialética razão e emoção – conjuga-se às teorias engendradas por Nietzsche em seu primeiro livro, buscando entender a construção da ironia no romance, mais particularmente aquela tocante ao narrador que, dissimuladamente, pretende conduzir o leitor quanto à caracterização da personalidade/intelectualidade do protagonista em formação. Procuraremos, então, como objetivo principal, apreender de que maneira o recurso irônico utilizado na construção do romance ícone da modernidade alemã o distingue do paradigma do gênero literário Bildungsroman, Os anos de aprendizado de Wilhelm Meister, analisando para tanto os elementos tempo e Bildung, fundamentais para a compreensão da tessitura paródica da narrativa em questão
The present dissertation seeks to establish a comparison between the Apollonian concepts and Dionysian presented by Thomas Mann in his novel The Magic Mountain (1924) and by Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy or Hellenism and Pessimism (1872), in order to verify they resemble or differ from the perspective assumed by the authors in the conception of individualism. We will investigate to what extent the notion of individual present in Mann - constituted by dialectical reason and emotion - is conjugated to theories engendered by Nietzsche in his first book, seeking to understand the construction of irony in the novel, particularly what concerns to the narrator, who covertly intends to lead the reader as to characterization of personality/intellectuality of the protagonist in formation. We seek, then, as the main goal, apprehend how the ironic resource used in the construction of the emblematic novel of German modernity distinguishes it from the paradigm of Bildungsroman literary genre, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, analyzing for this purpose, time and Bildung, fundamental elements to understanding the parodic organization of the narrative in question

Full textThis study compares « le feu » (Il fuco, Gabriele d'Annunzio, 1900), « Mort à Venise » ( Der tod in Venedig, Thomas Mann, 1912), a la recherche du temps perdu ( Marcel Proust, 1913-1927). The same basic paten appears in these three novels: a writer-the author's spokesman, comes to Venice, hoping for a renewal of his artistic creativity. Such process can be described in terms of alchemy and of initiation. Do this respect, Venice has a double function: it can be the metaphor for the writer's creative urges, or a threat to his work. It is alternately the image of chaos and a tutelary figure. Thus some passages of the three novels foreshadow the gestating work of art. Beyond this specifically "venetian" stylistics, it is possible to reach a universal image of the city, which could be an archetype of literary creation

O presente estudo comparado põe em diálogo as narrativas Grande sertão: veredas de Guimarães Rosa e A Morte em Veneza de Thomas Mann, a partir das simbólicas travessias dos protagonistas Riobaldo e Aschenbach. As cenas de travessia sintetizam as experiências dramáticas dos protagonistas que aprendem acerca da existência marcada pelo paradoxo e instabilidade assustadora. Considera-se, inicialmente, o modo como cada um dos escritores teceu um imaginário acerca da cultura do outro e como esses trânsitos culturais encontram-se representados em suas literaturas. Partindo das cenas de travessia, destacam-se os aspectos épico-dramáticos em ambas as narrativas e os principais leitmotive e simbologias presentes nas cenas que se desdobram nas aprendizagens existenciais dos protagonistas. O trabalho discute como os dois escritores elaboram seus discursos sob o signo da limiaridade, relacionando as experiências de Riobaldo e Aschenbach com as atuais configurações do conceito de devir propostas por Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari.

Full textThe west (occident, abendland) refers both to a territory (western Europe and America), a civilization, and a direction in space. Through the novels by Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka and Albert Cohen, the west may be studied as a cultural area and as an archetype of the imagination. The magic mountain is the story of the split of the German soul (hans castorp) between the powers of west (settembrini) and the temptation of east (clawdia chauchat, naphta), in an international sanatorium. Novels by A. Cohen are based on a conflict between a Jewish-oriental area and the western civilization. America and The Castle, by Kafka, may be interpreted as variation on the myth of the west (America, "hotel occidental", "castle of the count Westwest"). The myth of the west has been studied through three approaches: the west as a relation to space (dialectics of sedentarity and nomadism, themes of exile and utopia. . . ); the west as a relation to history (myth of the progress, or myth of the decadence, - "the setting sun"); the west as a political experience of the world (conflict between nationality and universality, between search for sense and ideology of power). The distinction between the western identity (which corresponds to European culture) and western condition (understood as a process of emancipation and or of exile) leads to bring out the specificity of the myth of occident with regard to the European idea

Full textThis ph. D. Research deals with the question, mainly in a literary perspective, of the form(s) given to an inherited figure, the devil of christianity and western culture, at a certain moment of time (after the first world war), in literary works of a determined genre (novels) and written by three major and contemporary writers of the modern european world (thomas mann, georges bernanos and c. S. Lewis). Firstly, the research shows the existence of strong links between the writing of the novels, the re-appearance of the character of the devil in these literary worlds and the historical context (two world wars, totalitarianism, secularization). Secondly, it analysizes the substantial modifications in the character's representation, which i call the principle of re-coding (recodage) of inherited traditions. Finally it answers the question of how the writer managed to make the appareance of this obsolete character plausible in the context of the contemporary world as shown in the novels - this leads to detailed and comparative studies of the aesthetics of the "fantastique", science-fiction and fantasy. The conclusion of this ph. D. Is that the character of the devil appears irreplaceable to western thought: no other symbol is as rich and meaningful, as expressive and at the same time open to all kinds of interpretations. It seems that the european literature and culture will not manage to get easily rid of this definitely central character

Full textThe german intellectuals who emigrated after 1933 have published many texts in which they comment upon the attitude of those intellectuals who stayed in germany. In these texts, they try at first to impse the gesture of breaking off with them as a norm, as the gesture one has to make in order to belong to the community of the emigres. They turn to a more psitive vision as they try to build a volksfront, in which the intellectuals in germany are supposed to play a role too. It is under the influence of the communists , who in their strategy of unificating the antifascists plead for a reconciliation, that the emigres use less the excluding text model. Some emigres, like heinrich mann and thomas mann, who have never uttered any univocal exclusion, serve as models. The reintegration of the intellectuals who stayed in germany in the community of the "real" intellectuals and of the opponents of nazism takes place in the context of the discussion about the "other germany"; at this point they are considered no more as "renegades" but as members of the "inner emigration", which allows the emigres to refutate the thesis of an identity between hitler and germany. These texts show that the emigration has her own discurse, which is internal and strongly ideological ; they also show the limits of the politisation of the noncommunist emigres, whose discurse keeps within the cultural field. The excluding and normative character of these texts show the influence of the nazi discurse, as the emigres, on judging upon the intellectuals in germany, use the same categories as the nazis, but invert them. There seems to be a contamination, mainly in the form of the discurse. Between the "counter-discurse" of the emigres and the discurse they oppose to

Full textThe present thesis is the result of a study on the interface between Psychoanalysis and Literature concerning literary works pertaining to the myth of Faust, written by Johann W. Goethe, Thomas Mann and Fernando Pessoa. It specifically addresses psychoanalytical theoretical innovations proposed in the last Seminars by Jacques Lacan, in particular the 23rd, Le Sinthome. Through an investigation of questions such as the "fictional-biographical” constructions, repetition and nominations concerning Faust, we intend to demonstrate, from the process of the pact, the transformation of the psychoanalytical concept of symptom into the category of the sinthome, which may be understood as a type of savoir-faire - a new and "heretical" way of articulating the registers of the Real, the Symbolic and the Imaginary (RSI). The essence of this new vision lies in a reconceptualization of the origin of the suffering, turning the symptom, comprehended as a legacy of lack and interdiction, into something of one's own and singular invention

Full textLove waiting is a time of patience and solitude, silence and slowness: it may seem like an obsolete and archaic sentiment, deprived of all meaning in the age of globalization, shortening of distance and rapidity of communications. Its representations in the 20th century novel, instead, show how the love waiting proves to be an interesting paradigm to understand the contradictions of contemporary humanity through the literature. This comparative research aims to define a sort of “model” of representations of the love waiting in the 20th century novel by the comparison between three important novels of the last century: Marcel Proust’s A la Recherche du temps perdu (1913-1927), Thomas Mann’s Joseph und seine Brüder (1933-1943) and Gabriel García Márquez’s El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985). Drowing inspiration from Roland Barthes’ ideas about love waiting (Fragments d’un discours amoureux, 1977 and Le discours amoureux, 2007) and also widening the comparison to other narrative texts and pieces of the last century, this work aims to analyse the relation between the suspended and impalpable time of waiting on one side and the complex form of novel on the other side, as it occurs over the 20th century

Full textThe dialogue between phenomenologists, causalists and intentionalists attempted here has obeyed a practical finality : to illiminate the structure of human action by eclucidating its intention, its ends, its narration. We have seen that this is not possible but through an holistic analysis. This conclusion has permitted us to enter into the domain of literary theories armed with the anthropologist's/sociologist's instruments for adressing the question, how may we end the permanent alienation of the human person in history (?) how can we escape the tragedy of History (?), as the constitutive question of novel's cosmology. The analyses applied to war and nazism, beginning with R.

Full textThis thesis deals with the transposition of literature into dance, a subject which has received very little attention from researchers up to the present day. It focuses on texts that constitute a base for a ballet plot, which includes libretti as well as works of literature not written for that purpose. The comparison of the literary sources with the libretti and ballets they have inspired serves to explore how librettists and choreographers have adapted literature since the birth of ballet as an independent art form. The case studies reveal „choreographic“ elements in several works of universal literature as well as different possibilities of „translating“ literary texts into a wordless medium. Therefore, the dissertation contributes to current research on „intermediality“.This study demonstrates that a new form of story ballet was created in the middle of the 20th century. It is characterized by the way in which it transposes the literary source and uses ballet’s means of expression. This genre is defined and described here for the first time. It is called „Literaturballett“ (literature ballet) in reference to the term „Literaturoper“ (literature opera). This new type of ballet continues and develops the 18th-century ballet reform around Jean-Georges Noverre which is discussed at the opening of this study. In the 20th century, dance finally became accepted as an expressive language, comparable for instance to singing in the opera. As a result, choreographers succeeded for the first time in representing complex literary plots in an uninterrupted flow of action exclusively through the means of choreography (supported by scenery, costumes, lighting and music)
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem bisher kaum erforschten Medienwechsel von Literatur zu Tanz. In ihrem Mittelpunkt stehen Texte, die als Grundlage für eine Balletthandlung dienen, sowohl Libretti als auch nicht für die choreographische Umsetzung verfasste literarische Werke. Der Vergleich der literarischen Quellen mit den von ihnen abgeleiteten Libretti und Balletten dient dazu herauszufinden, wie Librettisten und Choreographen seit der Entstehung des Handlungsballetts als eigenständiger Kunstform Literatur adaptiert haben. So werden zum einen „choreographische“ Elemente in einigen Werken der Weltliteratur analysiert. Zum anderen wird erforscht, welche Möglichkeiten es gibt, Literatur in das wortlose Medium Tanz umzusetzen. Damit wird ein Beitrag zur Intermedialitätsforschung geleistet. Die Dissertation zeigt unter anderem auf, dass um die Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine neue Art des Handlungsballetts entstand, die sich von ihren Vorgängern durch ihren Umgang mit literarischen Quellen und durch ihre innovative Verwendung der Ausdrucksmittel des Balletts unterschied. Dieses in Anlehnung an den Terminus „Literaturoper“ „Literaturballett“ genannte Genre wird hier erstmals umfassend definiert und beschrieben. Die Geburt des „Literaturballetts“ stellt eine Fortsetzung und Weiterentwicklung der Ballettreform des 18. Jahrhunderts um Jean-Georges Noverre dar, mit der die Arbeit beginnt. Erst im 20. Jahrhundert etabliert sich Tanz als expressive Sprache, die mit dem Gesang in der Oper vergleichbar ist. Dadurch gelingt es Choreographen erstmals, komplexe literarische Themen in einem kontinuierlichen Handlungsfluss nur mit den Mitteln der Choreographie (unterstützt durch Bühnenbild, Kostüme, Beleuchtung und Musik) darzustellen

Full textHaving identified a blind spot in general and comparative literature, this work proposes to introduce Turkish literature as a questioning site within the field which also interrogates the regional comprehensibility of European literature. The globalization of literary criticism allows us to locate the reception of European literature within the work of a contemporary Turkish novelist in the wider context of an unbalanced literary exchange between on the one hand an ancient and rich literary space and the Turkish periphery on the other. The particularities of this social and historical field to which Orhan Pamuk is affiliated account for his trajectory in world literature, while also shedding light on his ethos as a reader of the European library, itself characterized by eccentricity and an inherited dependency. It follows that studying Orhan Pamuk’s use to the European novel brings to light a mimetic, a generic and an architextual use, as shown by his rewriting of Mann’s Buddenbrooks. As for his use of the Dostoevskian novel, it highlights the structural homology of the two former Empires in relation to Europe, and lays bare to Orhan Pamuk Turkey’s “demons” in all their legibility. The Pamukian novel presents itself as a poetical negotiation with the dependency and eccentricity of Turkish literature and the Turkish novel. Rewriting the canon (Proust, Dante, Dostoevsky) with glowing intertextual poetics, Pamuk captures the European literary inheritance ; these taklit poetics, replete with fictional games and playful sham facilitate the conversion of this net of mimetic dependency into a new novelistic catharsis from which the “fiction” of the Pamukien author emerges

Full textThe outbreak of World War I was the main cause for a relevant group of leading figures in the artistic and scientific scene of Germanic origin to know the respective reactions that the most recent political events deserved. Among them were writers, philosophers, musicians, scientists with or without partisan affiliation. The purpose of this work is precisely to analyze the "political" thinking of one of these names, one of the most promising and recognized of his generation, whom, for this reason, deserves a more thorough and profound treatment: that of the German writer Thomas Mann. The confession that politics was not really a subject worthy of the attention to the writer, or even to the German people, is given to us by itself and can be proved by reading not only the texts that constitute the corpus of this work but also by several others of its own. The development of the events of the world conflict, in which Germany played a major role, was decisive for a progressive (and sometimes contradictory) ideological evolution in the reflection that, over time, the writer was recording under the form of political essays. From the defense of the conservatism, characteristic of the monarchy headed by Kaiser Wilhelm II, to support, from 1922, the new republican regime that would culminate, with the 1933 elections, with the appointment of Hitler as chancellor of Germany, the political analysis of the writer will always be under the criticisms arisen either inside or outside the German geographical world.

Full textEsta tese tem como objectivo identificar e caracterizar uma técnica de composição narrativa cuja estrutura e funcionamento se baseiam numa técnica compositiva musical, o Leitmotiv wagneriano. Os autores e as obras escolhidas são Richard Wagner (1813-1883) e a Tetralogia Der Ring des Nibelungen (1848-1874) e Thomas Mann (1875-1955) e o seu primeiro romance Buddenbrooks (1901). Esta investigação contextualiza o wagnerismo na recepção literária das obras teóricas e musicais de Wagner em França no período finissecular. O pensamento sobre música de Arthur Schopenhauer enquadra a análise de alguns textos fundamentais de Friedrich Nietzsche para permitir uma melhor compreensão da recepção da obra do compositor por Thomas Mann. A técnica do Leitmotiv em Der Ring des Nibelungen é investigada ao nível da caracterização das personagens e dos efeitos sobre a estruturação temporal da Tetralogia. Analisa-se ainda a melodia infinita e a voz da orquestra para clarificar a influência wagneriana na técnica narrativa de Thomas Mann em Buddenbrooks. O estudo do Leitmotiv em Buddenbrooks incide na caracterização física e psicológica das personagens e na presentificação da acção. São ainda estudadas outras estratégias narrativas, como a leitmotivisches Wort e a auto-citação. A ligação entre Buddenbrooks e Der Ring des Nibelungen é estabelecida através do comentário a estes processos compositivos.
The aim of this dissertation is to identify and to describe a narrative technique based on a musical technique, the wagnerian Leitmotiv.the authors and the works investigated are Richard Wagner (1813-1883) and the Tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen (1848-1874) and Thomas Mann (1875-1955) and his first novel Buddenbrooks (1901). Wagnerism is contextualized in the literary reception of Wagner’s music and theories in the late nineteen-century French literary movements. Arthur Schopenhauer’s ideas on music are discussed, as well as some of the fundamental critical texts on Wagner and Wagnerism by Friedrich Nietzsche so as to achieve a clear understanding of Wagner’s reception by Thomas Mann. The Leitmotiv technique in Der Ring des Nibelungen is studied in its relation to the definition of the characters and the effects on the time structure of the Tetralogy. The infinite melody and the orchestra’s voice are also studied to enable a deeper perception of the influence of Wagner on the narrative techniques used by Thomas Mann in Buddenbrooks. The study of the Leitmotiv in Buddenbrooks is focused on the physical and psychological definition of the characters and on the Vergegenwärtigung effect. Two other narrative strategies, the leitmotivisches Wort and self-citation are taken into account. The relationship between Der Ring des Nibelungen and Buddenbrooks is developed along the discussion of those narrative techniques.

Full textDa beleza transgressora: Perseguições da identidade em Lolita e A Morte em Veneza é uma dissertação que parte da análise de um tema comum ao romance de Vladimir Nabokov e à novela de Thomas Mann a beleza transgressora -, na sua relação com o problema da identidade dos protagonistas, Humbert Humbert e Aschenbach, personagens que apresentam traços comuns e que, para além de serem intelectuais europeus, sofrem um processo de transformação irreversível por via de um amor transgressor e das suas respectivas consequências éticas e estéticas. Na relação entre a problemática da identidade e o tema da beleza transgressora, Lolita e Tadzio, os jovens adolescentes em torno dos quais se articulam respectivamente as confissões de Humbert Humbert e as especulações sobre o poder fatal de Eros em Gustav Aschenbach, são ainda analisados como agentes da mediação artística, que conduzirão ambas as narrativas ao seu desfecho. O corpus desta dissertação é composto não só pelo romance e a novela, mas também pelas respectivas adaptações cinematográficas: o filme Lolita, de Stanley Kubrick, e o filme Morte em Veneza, de Luchino Visconti. Tendo em conta não apenas uma opção pessoal mas também o facto de esta dissertação se inserir no âmbito do Mestrado em Estudos Anglísticos, sendo mais precisamente uma especialização em Literatura Norte-Americana, será dada maior incidência ao romance de Nabokov, compensando-se esta opção por uma análise mais pormenorizada do filme de Visconti.
About transgressive beauty: Chasing identity in Lolita and Death in Venice is a dissertation grounded in the analysis of a theme shared by Vladimir Nabokov's novel and Thomas Mann's novella transgressive beauty and its connection to the problem of the main characters' identity, Humbert Humbert and Aschenbach, both of whom display similar traits, apart from being European intellectuals whose identity goes through an irreversible transformation process because of transgressive love and its ethical and aesthetic consequences. By associating the problem of identity with the theme of transgressive beauty, Lolita and Tadzio, the young adolescents around whom Humbert Humbert utters his confessions and Gustav Aschenbach speculates about the fatal powers of Eros, are found to be and are examined as such agents of artistic mediation, responsible for guiding both narratives to their outcomes. The corpus of this dissertation includes not only the novel and the novella, but also their big-screen adaptations, namely Stanley Kubrick's Lolita and Death in Venice by Luchino Visconti. Apart from personal choices, the fact that this thesis was produced within a Masters in English Studies and, more precisely, a specialization in North-American Literature led us to bestow more attention to Nabokov's novel, an option we will make up for thanks to a more detailed scrutiny of Visconti's movie.
