Full textWhether it deals with paintings and etchings or hieroglyphics, the novel is marked by a multiplicity of representations. Literary representation turns out to be under the rule of the principle of narcissism, which governs all the duplicates and mirroring effects in Melville fiction. The play of the writing allows the representation of the self according to a process which destroys the narcissistic plenitude of the "infans" subject but contributes at the same time to constitute the subject. But as a written mark, the letter is far from establishing a pre-determined relation with the object it refers to, and allows a fundamental indeterminacy. Such a conception contributes to the deconstruction of a traditional and theological vision of the production of the writing. The problem of representation cannot be separated from that of meaning and of the deciphering of sings. Moby-dick shows the process of the interpretation of an image or a text : meaning is not given, but has to be constructed by the interpret. In this sense Melville text can be considered as the representation of a linguistic system, in this case culioli's enunciative theory

Full textI skrivandet av Moby Dick eller valen så kom Herman Melville att både inspireras av och motsätta sig Ralph Waldo Emersons idéer. Genom en analys av huvudkaraktärerna i Moby Dick samt Emersons texter så är det tydligt att transcendentalism finns förkroppsligad i karaktäriseringen av romanens huvudkaraktärer. Jag argumenterar för att karaktärernas slutgiltiga öden i romanen uttrycker Melvilles kritik av Emersons idéer. Vidare så är skildringen av hav och land som en symbol för själen i Moby Dick en spegling av Emersons idealiserade förhållande mellan människa och natur. Emellertid den tvetydiga och fruktansvärda natur Melville skapar visar på bristfälligheten i Emersons romantiska ideal.

Full textThrough an analytical and interpretative study of Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick I intend to formulate and clarify the historical turning point of the American novel, specifically what is deemed the most radical effort of an American writer to bring a comprehensive study on society into novelistic form. In order to accomplish that, I reconsider some of the features of Moby-Dick that strongly appealed to the times. First the ideological crisis of the 1840s, when the equalitarian revolutionary ideals of the Independence were finally confronted by the consequences of the U.S. being fully compromised to the Industrial Revolution and the capitalistic worldwide system. This is a central issue in Redburn (1849) and White-Jacket (1850), both novels where some major features of Moby-Dick are anticipated and firstly tested. Second, I scrutinize the concept of frontier -- a national identity issue that can be traced back to the Puritan 17th century errand into the wilderness that is strongly attached in the age of Melville to the ideological making of American imperialism. Besides, it also has had a major role in the crystallization of culturally specific perspectives on property and the establishment of social classes. Finally, I reconsider the notions of technique and labor, directly implied in the whaling industry and in a more general way in the marching of American civilization towards the West, which has had a strong impact on the understanding of the social significance of free labor and its coexistence with slavery. With those things under consideration, and through the surmises of the Critical Theory and the Brazilian tradition of social and literary criticism as well, it is my aim to shed light on some esthetical features of the novel, particularly on the tragic structure (as opposed to the epic) that defines the career of Pequods Captain Ahab and his obsessive chasing of Moby Dick, and the constitution of a self-reflexive narrator, the survivor Ishmael, who recalls the past of the catastrophe in order to attack the social reproduction of its conditions in the present.

Full textA presente dissertação procura analisar Moby-Dick, de Herman Melville, e Walden, de Henry David Thoreau, narrativas que, em meados do século XIX, alertavam para a necessidade de preservar a natureza, num tempo em que os Estados Unidos da América começavam a explorar as potencialidades da revolução industrial. Afirmando-se, de certo modo, como profetas dos excessos que o homem viria a cometer na era pós-industrial, prenunciavam já os desastres ecológicos que atualmente conhecemos e que têm sido praticamente ignorados. Assim sendo, há todo o interesse em revisitar estes textos, visto terem teorizado, de uma forma literária, mas simples, muitos dos aspetos presentes no discurso da ecocrítica atual. Além disso, este estudo pretende demonstrar que é urgente o homem compreender que é moralmente inaceitável violar as leis da natureza. Para o seu próprio bem e de todo o universo, é imperioso que a respeite, tal como Melville e Thoreau prudentemente preconizaram.
This dissertation aims at analyzing Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick and Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, mid-nineteenth-century American narratives where both authors called attention to the need to preserve nature, at a time when the United States of America was beginning to explore – and possibly exploit – the potential promised by the industrial revolution. To a certain extent, they stood out as prophets of the excesses that man would commit in the post-industrial era, hence foreshadowing the ecological disasters that we have witnessed of late but, unfortunately, have practically ignored. Thus, there is much to be gained when revisiting these texts, since both voices theorized, in a literary, but simple way, many of the issues present in current environmental discourse. Furthermore, this study aims at demonstrating that it is urgent man finally realizes that it is morally unacceptable to violate the laws of nature. For both his own and the universe’s sake, it is imperative that human beings respect nature, as Melville and Thoreau wisely advocated.
