Pretende-se analisar o romance The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, de Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), publicado em 1838 pela editora Harper & Brothers. Dentre vários temas envolvendo motins, tempestades, ataques de animais selvagens, antropofagia, naufrágios etc., a narrativa em questão relata uma experiência vivenciada na ilha de Tsalal, parte de um arquipélago situado no extremo sul. Os habitantes dessa região insólita, todos negros, simulam cordialidade, mas, em segredo, tramam a ruína dos nautas. O romance foi recorrentemente concebido como expressão do racismo de Poe ou como desdobramento de traumas e angústias do autor. Buscar-se-á analisar algumas leituras psicologizantes e biografistas para, em seguida, estudar a representação desse território insular e de seus habitantes levando-se em consideração dois lugares-comuns que Edgar Alan Poe retomou: a obrigação da hospitalidade e o locus horrendus que, no caso, foi empregado para retratar Tsalal.Palavras-chave: Edgar Allan Poe; locus horrendus; hospitalidade.

AbstractThe Palmer-Pendleton sealing and exploring expedition (1829–1831) was the first American voyage of discovery to the Antarctic that had official government sanction. For the writer Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849), this expedition was an important landmark in an age when science was beginning to change the American continent socially, politically, and geographically. The shift away from Jefferson's agrarian Utopia was marked tangibly by increased industrialisation, the advent of the railroad, the growth of scientific societies, the beginning of elite professionalisation in the sciences, and this major American Antarctic voyage. In the same year as the expedition left the US, Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881), philosopher and author, recorded the effect that such scientific and technological changes had wrought upon the literary artist when he characterised the era metaphorically as: ‘the Age of Machinery in every outward and inward sense of that word.’ The belief that a repetitive, blunt mechanism that stifled artistic imagination had entered society led Poe to offer a stark criticism of science and scientific method in his tale ‘MS found in a bottle’ (1832). This tale, written shortly after the return of the Palmer-Pendleton expedition, centres upon a voyage to the Antarctic and embodies some of Poe's finest early writing. Interleaved with the critique of science are contemporary themes of discovery, and the Romantic preoccupation with man's relationship to nature.

En algunos cuentos como The black cat y The imp of the perverse, el escritor estadounidense Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) trata de dar una explicación de la actitud de los personajes protagónicos haciendo uso de su concepción de la “perversidad”. En los cuentos mencionados hace un esbozo de lo que podría ser una teoría de la perversidad, donde son destacables las alusiones al poco o nulo trato que filósofos y moralistas han dado a la cuestión. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo dar un primer paso en el trato filosófico de la perversidad tal y como la entiende Poe. Para ello, el escrito está dividido en dos grandes partes: la primera explorará la noción de perversidad en cuentos como The black cat y The imp of the perverse, mientras que la segunda, explorará las posibles doctrinas filosóficas y teológicas que podrían emular el concepto que Poe maneja. Trataré de probar que efectivamente Poe tiene razón cuando dice que su concepto de perversidad no ha sido abordado por la filosofía y la teología del modo que él lo expone.

A partir do ensaio "Kafka y sus precursores", de Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), faz-se uma incursão pelo terreno do conto, relacionando as visões que Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), Machado de Assis (1839-1908) e Julio Cortázar (1914-1984) possuem sobre esse gênero. Propõe-se uma possível conexão entre os três escritores, considerados mestres do conto, pela via da proposta do ensaio borgeano, destacando as similaridades dos enfoques que pautam a elaboração artística dos contos dos três autores. Dá-se destaque à relação comprovada entre Poe e Machado de Assis e entre Poe e Cortázar, expondo a possibilidade de pensar também numa relação estreita entre Machado de Assis e Cortázar.

Two of the recurrent topics in Edgar Allan Poe’s (1809-1849) work are the origin and order of the world, which this author considered expressions of a superior spiritual reality, and for the approach of which he wrote some texts that went from the philosophy of furniture and landscaping to cosmology in an attempt to explain the sense of the physical world for human beings, as well as its impact on them from forms, magnitudes and distribution.

Full textAbstract:
The life drive and its seemingly opposite, death drive, are inherent powers in man’s mind and psyche since the beginning of life on earth and will last for life. These powers, therefore, draw a great deal of attention in every aspect of life, the social, scientific, philosophical, and literary fields being the most prominent among them. The study is an attempt, through three sections and a conclusion, to elucidate the range of the interrelations between the two powers through several poetic works of the American gothic writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). It is supposed that for him as well, they could be complementary power drives. After critical analyses of extracts of some of his poems, the study concludes some main points, the most prominent of which is that Eros and Thanatos complete each other in many of Poe’s poems. The study used some newly disclosed up-to-date sources about the poet’s life and works to help in coming up with valuable conclusions that can help researchers who may be interested in writing about this poet’s works and poems in the future.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines all documented information regarding the final days and death of Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849), in an attempt to determine the most likely cause of death of the American poet, short story writer, and literary critic. Information was gathered from letters, newspaper accounts, and magazine articles written during the period after Poe's death, and also from biographies and medical journal articles written up until the present. A chronology of Poe's final days was constructed, and this was used to form a differential diagnosis of possible causes of death. Death theories over the last 160 years were analyzed using this information. This analysis, along with a review of Poe's past medical history, would seem to support an alcohol-related cause of death.

Full textAbstract:
This paper delves into the long-debated tensions that critics have found in Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)’s writings, which have placed him as a liminal figure between the Enlightenment and Romanticism. In particular, I will maintain that these tensions are representative of the contradictions inherent in the modern project, which I will argue are present in Poe’s writings and which situate Poe’s texts as both a symptom of and a reaction to the pathologies of modernity. To this end, I will consider Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno’s Dialectic of Enlightenment (1944), arguing that the problems addressed in the volume were foreshadowed by Poe’s writings a century earlier. After a brief introduction, I will analyse the widely-discussed “The Purloined Letter” (1844) and the attitudes towards rationality that Poe presents in the story. I will then explore the lesser-known “The Colloquy of Monos and Una” (1841),2 where Poe anticipates some of the problems that Horkheimer and Adorno voiced, most notably the confusion between progress and technification.

Cette thèse se propose de donner une lecture bouddhique d'Edgar Allan Poe en étudiant les nombreuses analogies qui existent entre sa pensée telle qu'elle apparaît dans " Eurêka " et un certain nombre de contes, et la pensée bouddhique du Grand Véhicule ou bouddhisme Mahayana. Il s'agit dans un premier temps, au sein de la première partie, de justifier le choix du bouddhisme et de définir les écoles et aspects du bouddhisme en rapport avec les données poesques dans eurêka et les contes. La deuxième étape consiste à établir un bilan des influences de l'Orient en Amérique à l'époque de Poe et à situer notre auteur par rapport à ces mêmes influences et à ses contemporains orientalistes. La deuxième partie est consacrée à l'étude d'" Eurêka " et plus particulièrement de tous ses éléments d'essence bouddhique. C'est le lieu ici de mettre en évidence toutes les convergences de vues ainsi que les différences entre les deux courants de pensée poesque et bouddhique. Ce parallélisme permettra de dégager une sphère commune à la science, au bouddhisme et à Poe, dont les ramifications sont multiples : l'ontologie bouddhico-poesque interpelle la science moderne à travers les résultats actuels de l'astrophysique. L'analyse des conclusions et implications profondes de la sphère bouddhico-poesque conduit, dans la troisième partie de la thèse, à l'examen de leur dramatisation à travers six familles de contes totalisant quelque quarante-sept récits. Cette dernière partie mettra l'accent sur l'osmose réussie entre les arguments ontologiques eurekéens et une création artistique largement dominée par le souci métaphysique

Although one of the best-known cases of intercultural literary partnership, Charles Baudelaire's translations of Edgar Allan Poe's works have been little analysed with a methodology appropriate to Translation Studies. Relying on a functionally target-oriented approach to translation and an empirical methodology, the present thesis undertakes this analysis. Positioning the prospective function(s) of the translations as intended by the translator within their historical context, Chapter One explores the para-discourse of the translator and its contemporary reception. Beyond the Romantic critical tradition of the whole project, Baudelaire's introductory writings on Poe appear to target in a propagandist way the literary elite of the time. On the contrary, the selection and organization of the five volumes of translations for publication suggest primarily a popularising strategy intended to capture, through the fictional genre, the attention of the growing mass audience of the Second Empire. In Chapters Two and Three, traditional appraisals of the translations in terms of quality assessment are questioned in favour of an explanation of interpretative frameworks and translation strategies as seen through the analyses of two translated tales and of textual variables throughout the corpus. Baudelaire's biographical interpretation of the narrative voice combines with clear strategies to normalize the stylistic authority of the texts and to increase their dramatic and expressive impact, offering in the end a less rhetorical, but aesthetically more Romantic and narratively more Realist reading of Poe's fantastic tales. Baudelaire would thus have managed to reconcile at a textual level the ambiguities of his para-discourse in terms of targeted readership as seen in Chapter One. It is finally argued that beyond the constraints of the receiving system and the strategies of the translator to accommodate these, the French image of Poe as produced by Baudelaire owes much to a French resistance to the narrative ambiguity and style that Poe's writing represents. Confirming or challenging existing criticism on the Poe-Baudelaire case, the present thesis thus hopes to contribute, not only to our relatively limited knowledge of mid-nineteenth-century French translation, but also to our understanding of French short fiction and its conflicting stakes in terms of aesthetics and readership.

Full textAbstract:
L'histoire de la réception de l'œuvre de Poe en France de 1844 à 1877 fait apparaitre une série de tensions dues principalement à la difficulté de la naturaliser sans en compromettre l'originalité. Afin de comprendre comment ses traducteurs ou divulgateurs ont cherché a les résoudre, on est amené à s'intéresser à l'image de l'écrivain, laquelle agit sur l'accueil de sa production. Car le portrait mythique et scandaleux de Poe conçu et imposé par Baudelaire, à l'origine d'un dialogue avec la critique, a autant contribué à la condamnation de l'œuvre qu'à un certain succès. L'entreprise de naturalisation passant obligatoirement par le stade de la traduction, on remarque l'influence déterminante de Baudelaire et de Mallarmé, dont la passion pour Poe et le perfectionnisme ont prévalu sur de nombreuses tentatives d'adaptation, maladroites ou infidèles, même si les propres transpositions baudelairiennes ne sont pas irréprochables. Enfin le dialogue entre le public, l'œuvre nouvelle et ses traducteurs révèle que ces derniers ont dû prendre en compte l'expérience littéraire des lecteurs pour divulguer les textes de Poe. Or la reconnaissance de modèles antérieurs n'a pas pour autant occulté le caractère étranger et l'originalité de l'œuvre, lesquels, souvent contestés à l'époque, lui ont finalement assuré la consécration d'un chef-d’œuvreThe story of how Poe's works were greeted in France between 1844 and 1877 brings out several anomalies due principally to the difficulty of rendering it natural without compromising its originality. In order to understand how those who translated or published them attempted to resolve these problems, we should interest ourselves in the image of the writer himself, as this played an important role concerning the acceptance of his work. The mythical and scandalous portrait of Poe painted and imposed by Baudelaire, based on a critical discussion, contributed as much to the works being condemned as to their success. The task of naturalising inevitably involves the process of translation so that the noticeable and determinant influence of Baudelaire and Mallarmé whose passion for Poe and perfectionism have prevailed over a number of attempts at clumsy or incorrect adaptations, even though baudelaire's own translations are by no means faultless. Finally, dialogue with the public and the new production and its translators reveal that the latter had to take into account the literary experience of the readers into order to speak about Poe's works. In any case, the acknowledgement of earlier models did not so much eclipse the strange character and originality of the works, which often contested at the time, finally ensured that they became masterpieces

Esta tese tem por objetivo o estudo de seis contos - A esfinge, Uma estória de Jerusalém, O diabo no campanário, Mistificação, Os óculos e Pequena conversa com uma múmia - do ficcionista, poeta e crítico norte-americano Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), mundialmente conhecido como o pai do conto moderno, a fim de analisar o modo como o autor constrói o humor e a sátira e em que medida eles constituem uma sátira ambivalente ao seu meio social. As análises revelam a existência de um compromisso do autor com a sociedade do seu tempo, que se manifesta na criação ficcional pelo viés satírico e crítico aos exageros da ideologia norte-americana do século XIX.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail s'attache à montrer comment l'oeil et ses supplétifs, au rang desquels on peut aussi placer, entre autres, les emprunts à la technique de la chambre noire ou les jeux sur l'intertexte shakespearien, jouent un rôle majeur dans l'oeuvre de Poe. Métafiction, métadiscours sont les outils que Poe utilise savamment pour créer des "objets littéraires" et mener une réflexion sur la manière dont le visible et le lisible s'articulent dans la création littéraire. En outre, la réflexion artéfactuelle jette les bases d'une stratégie du détour, une façon de dépasser l'interdit puritain sur la représentation. Elle constitue une autre facette de cet art de l'oblique et de l'anamorphose qui permettent à Poe d'aborder le thème du monstrueux et du mal - deux notions qu'il ne s'agit pas de confondre - en se protégeant et en protégeant le lecteur du regard de Méduse. Poe "donne à voir" par une série d'artefacts où l'énigmatique le grotesque tiennent une place non négligeable. Où l'on se penchera aussi sur les regards philosophiques qui se croisent dans l'oeuvre de Poe et constituent une véritable mise en perspective de la réflexion sur la représentation ainsi que sur le mal et les forces pulsionnelles qui parcourent le monde. Son projet d'écriture tel qu'il le définit dans certains poèmes ou oeuves en prose comme "The Raven", "Dream-Land", "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym", "The Island of the Fay" ou "Maelzel's Chess-Player" montre la difficulté d'affronter les forces du "Ca" tout en revenant sous l'interdit par un mouvement de constante déterritorialisation / reterritorialisation, dans la terminologie de Deleuze. Ainsi se dessine la voie escarpée que doit se frayer celui qui veut mettre en place une "poiesis" de l'ombre. Ainsi s'élabore un entre-deux où prend forme la figure auctoriale et s'instaure un dialogue entre texte et théorie (critique ou philosophique) dont Poe jette les bases qu'il appelle de ses voeux.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this literary research project is the analysis of the thematic content as well as the formal devices of five of the poems written by Edgar Allan Poe. In order to connect and find the common concepts that pertains to this research, the following poems were chosen: “Annabel Lee” (1849); “Leonore” (1845); “To Helen” (1831); “The sleeper” (1831); and “Ulalume” (1847). In spite of the importance of poetry for Poe, it is noticeable the lack of pieces of research about this issue when compared with the number of researchers about his short stories. With this in mind, our attempt with this work is to make a study regarding one of the most relevant and recurrent subject in his poems: the presence of women, who were an unsolved issue in his entired life. Five poems have been chosen to this purpose, and converging on the concept of women as ethereal symbols and absent lovers existing beyond the limits of the terrestrial body. These descriptions of an idealized concept of women made contrast with some lewd female characters commonly developed by other American authors that were also concerned with horror stories. Our attempt is to take the transgressive allusions present in these poems in the light of Poe`s own background through his life in the American puritan society.

Full textAbstract:
This study traces archetypal images in selected prose fiction by Edgar Allan Poe and shows his consistent use of such imagery throughout his career, and outlines the archetypal images that Poe uses repeatedly throughout his works: the death of the beautiful woman, death and resurrection, the hero's journey to the underworld, and the quest for forbidden knowledge. The study examines Poe's use of myth to establish and uphold archetypal patterns. Poe's goal when crafting his works was the creation of a single specified effect, and to create his effects, he used the materials at hand. Some of these materials came from his own subconscious; however, a greater portion came from a lifetime of study and his own understanding of the connections between myth and archetypal images.

Full textAbstract:
Transcending the boundaries of literature, the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Stanislaw Lem contribute to a dialogue between literary, philosophical, and scientific cultures. A critical approach to these writers that ignores the epistemic dimension in their works opens itself to the charge of misunderstanding their artistic goals and aspirations. In my dissertation I thus define, justify, and conduct an interdisciplinary study of Poe and Lem's works.My project is underwritten by the epistemological assumption that literary works, and notably works of fiction, can make a contribution to knowledge that can be assessed in terms of interdisciplinary criteria. In the first chapter, where I discuss literature and knowledge within the interdisciplinary context, I examine various epistemological arguments in light of my central assertion. Next I examine the concepts involved in the discussion of literary works. Following the pragmatic re-orientation in literary and philosophical aesthetics, many fundamental concepts we take for granted--artworks, fictions, and texts among them--require exact re-examination and definition. Consequently, in Chapters Two and Three I review and refine the recent theories concerning the nature of works of art, the specificity of literary fictions, and the problem of literary interpretations.
My subsequent discussion of Poe and Lem is built on the theoretical base of (literary) epistemology and analytical aesthetics. I study Poe and Lem's literary fictions and theoretical essays, and the contributions they make to various fields of inquiry. In the process I critique, and sometimes refine, the explicit and implicit hypotheses articulated in their works. Specifically In Chapters Four and Five I discuss strategic and game theoretic models in the interpretation of fiction, including the concepts of communication and rationality. In Chapter Six, completing the epistemological circle inaugurated in Chapter One, I discuss the epistemological and cosmological theories proposed in Poe's "Eureka".

Full textAbstract:
This chapter approaches Romantic aesthetics through the “plant horror” of Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849), who had an ambivalent relationship to Romantic vitalism, and studies the way in which his arabesque vegetality travels into the work of later writers, including Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935). Poe’s foregrounding of the eighteenth-century notion of “the sentience of all vegetable things” in “The Fall of the House of Usher” (1839) both responds to and undermines Romantic ideas about human affinities with plants. In “Usher,” Poe follows the Enlightenment analogy of human to plant to its logical conclusion in order to expose its aporias; for him, vegetal sentience cannot be contained within any hierarchy of being. At the same time, Poe destroys the Romantic fusional model—in which humans and plants commune within a shared physical world—by focusing on the destructive and rapacious qualities of the vegetal. The transcendental ideas of beauty and the sublime give way in Poe to a vegetality that invades the human consciousness. He suggests that humans might be horrified, rather than delighted, by the calamity that a vegetal modernity represents, even though (and perhaps because) they have no alternative to it.
