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".

O que ora apresentamos é um questionamento sobre o papel da interpretação na tradução literária e suas implicações para as questões de recepção. Analisamos diversas traduções em língua portuguesa brasileira de The Tell-Tale Heart, um conto do escritor norteamericano Edgar Allan Poe que apresenta obstáculos tidos como intransponíveis na tradução. A partir da análise comparativa entre o texto em inglês e suas respectivas traduções, analisamos as escolhas de palavras dos tradutores e suas soluções para os itens mais complexos do texto, bem como as diferenças de interpretação de itens lexicais simples. Para fins de embasamento teórico, recorremos a postulados críticos e teóricos diversos tais como os da Literatura Comparada, Teoria Literária, teorias de tradução e interpretação. Inicialmente, fazemos uma análise das contribuições de cada uma dessas áreas, para depois partirmos para as análises propriamente ditas. Com isso, tentamos deixar claro que a tradução de uma obra literária pode ser vista como uma manifestação aculturada de seu texto de partida.

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.

The goal of the dissertation is the comparison of fantastic tales of the romantic writer Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) and the Brazilian writer, who also produced stories of the fantastic genre, Machado de Assis (1839-1908). The predominant issue is how the two authors who lived in different eras and in different countries so diverse socioeconomically may have their supernatural works compared. To answer this disturbing question, some clues of Poean influence on the fantastic tales from the Brazilian writer were obtained, such as the celebrated translation of Poe's poem "The Raven" (1845), made by Machado (or "O Corvo", as translated by himself in 1883); it is also important to our studies to analyse the quotes in newspapers in which Machado wrote, such as o Diário do Rio de Janeiro (1866) and Gazeta de Notícias (1895), as well as the comparison between the short stories “O Espelho” (1882) and “Sem olhos” (1876), by the Brazilian writer, and “William Wilson” (1839) and “Ligeia” (1838), by Poe.
O principal objetivo da dissertação é a comparação dos contos fantásticos do escritor romântico norte-americano Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) e do escritor brasileiro Machado de Assis (1839-1908), que também produziu narrativas do gênero fantástico. A principal questão é como dois autores, que viveram em épocas diferentes e em países tão distintos, podem ter suas obras comparadas pelo viés do fantástico. Para responder a essa inquietante pergunta, existem pistas da influência poeana nos contos fantásticos do brasileiro: uma, pela célebre tradução machadiana do poema “The Raven” (1845), ou “O Corvo”, como foi traduzido por Machado, em 1883, bem como citações do norte-americano, nos jornais em que Machado publicava, como o Diário do Rio de Janeiro (1866) e a Gazeta de Notícias (1895), além da comparação dos contos “O Espelho” (1882) e “Sem olhos” (1876), para tentar provar a influência, e dois do norte-americano, “William Wilson” (1839) e “Ligeia” (1838).

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.

Edgar Allan Poe afirma a respeito de seu poema The raven, em seu ensaio The philosophy of composition, que “[...] nenhum ponto de sua composição se refere ao acaso, ou à intuição, que o trabalho caminhou, passo a passo, até completar-se, com a precisão e a sequência rígida de um problema matemático”, demonstrando, por isso, que ele entendia ser o processo criativo um ato puramente lógico, consciente e analítico. E, de fato, a análise de seus textos comprova a proposição citada. Além disso, o autor americano é considerado por grande parte da crítica literária como o mestre do horror, figurando alguns de seus textos no cânone das obras primas do fantástico, sendo quase que indispensável a presença de algum de seus contos em uma coletânea dessa categoria literária. Partindo-se, então, desses elementos foi possível levantar a hipótese de que, como a obra poeana está tão intimamente relacionada ao fantástico, a análise de seu racional e sistemático método composicional poderá conduzir à inclusão de novos elementos à estrutura já existente da literatura fantástica. Assim, a presente pesquisa procurou sistematizar o peculiar modus operandi de Poe através da análise de seus contos The black cat, The fall of the house of Usher, The oval portrait, The man of the crowd, William Wilson, Ligeia, e ensaios The philosophy of composition Philosophy of furniture e The poetic principle, para em seguida contrastar os resultados obtidos com as teorias do fantástico, em especial a de Todorov, permitindo estabelecer, dessa forma, pouco a pouco, outra leitura da literatura fantástica, sob a ótica da própria teoria pessoal de Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe said about his poem The Raven, in his essay The philosophy of composition, that [...] no one point in its composition is referrible either to accident or intuition - that the work proceeded, step by step, to its completion with the precision and rigid consequence of a mathematical problem. thereby demonstrating that he understood the creative process is a purely logical, conscious and analytical. And indeed, analysis of his texts proves the proposition cited. In addition, the american author is seen by much of literary criticism as the master of horror, featuring some of his texts in the canon of masterpieces of fantastic, with almost indispensable the presence of some of his tales in a collection of this literary category. Starting from those factors, it was possible to hypothesize that as the Poe‟s work is so closely related to the fantastic, the analysis of their rational and systematic compositional method may lead to inclusion of new elements the existing structure of fantastic literature. Thus, this research sought to systematize the peculiar modus operandi of Poe through the analysis of his short stories The black cat, The fall of the house of Usher, The oval portrait, The man of the crowd, William Wilson, Ligeia, and the essays The philosophy of composition, Philosophy of furniture and The poetic principle, then to contrast the results with the theories of fantastic, particularly Todorov‟s, establishing, thus, little by little, another reading of fantastic literature, from the perspective of their own Edgar Allan Poe‟s personal theory

Procuramos demonstrar que esses matizes temáticos são trabalhados sob a angulação do góticomelancólico a fim de se atingir o sublime. Nos quatro primeiros capítulos, teorizamos sobre como o gótico, a melancolia e o sublime podem ser alinhavados poeticamente. No quinto e sexto capítulos, discutimos os modi operandi que Poe e de Alphonsus empregam nessa triangulação entre traços góticos, melancolia e o sublime. No último capítulo, valemo-nos em grande parte das teorias freudianas para demonstrar qual o resultado do jogo góticomelancólico entre Eros e Tânatos na poesia romântico-simbolista desses artistas.
The intent of this study is to draw analogies and contrasts between Edgar Allan Poe and Alphonsus de Guimaraens vis-à-vis the aesthetic principles they decided to impress upon their poetic work, chiefly as far as the themes of love (Eros) and death (Thanatos) are concerned. We have endeavored to describe that these poetic overtones are addressed from a gothic-melancholic angle in order to reach the sublime. In the first four chapters, we theorize on how the gothic, melancholy and the sublime can be intertwined poetically. In the fifth and sixth chapters, we discuss the modi operandi that Poe and Alphonsus employ in this tripartite relationship of gothic motifs, melancholy and the sublime. In the last chapter, we make use of Freudian theories to a large extent so as to demonstrate the outcome of this gothicmelancholic interplay between Eros and Thanatos in the romantic-symbolist poetry of these artists.

O trabalho tem por objetivo verificar de que forma os avanços científicos e tecnológicos da humanidade influenciaram a obra de Edgar Allan Poe e de Machado de Assis. A análise propõe revelar o olhar desses escritores acerca das novas possibilidades que eram oferecidas à sociedade com o intuito maior de evidenciar o papel da literatura nesse processo, uma vez que o homem é capaz de enxergar todo o comportamento de uma época e, conseqüentemente, a si mesmo, através da obra literária. Essa atitude de “olhar para trás” e para “dentro de si mesmo”, acredita-se, permite que o homem avance ainda mais. Para realizar a análise proposta, a pesquisa utiliza-se de conceitos como o de intertextualidade e interdisciplinaridade, muito caros à Literatura Comparada, com o fim de promover relações entre as diferentes áreas do saber – Literatura e Ciência –, entre os diferentes escritores e, por fim, entre os diversos gêneros literários que constituem o corpus do presente estudo. Após um breve panorama da história do desenvolvimento dos avanços científicos e tecnológicos da humanidade, procede-se às análises dos textos selecionados, procurando apontar e relacionar o pensamento dos escritores, provando que idéias sobre os avanços científicos e tecnológicos estão presentes na produção literária de cada um. Por fim, após o confronto estabelecido durante todo o trabalho entre o pensamento e o posicionamento dos escritores, discutese o papel da literatura no desenvolvimento e avanço da humanidade.The paper aims to verify how the writings of Edgar Allan Poe and Machado de Assis had been influenced by the humanity' scientific and technological advances. The analysis proposes to reveal the sight of these two writers over the new possibilities that had been offered to the society, with the main objective of emphasizing the literature role in this process, considering that the human being is able to see the behavior of an entire period of time and consequently to himself through the literary work. This action of “looking back” and of “looking inside”, believes this research, allows him advance still more. In order to do that, the research takes some concepts as intertextuality and interdisciplinarity, extremely valued to the Comparative Literature, with the main objective of promoting relations between the different areas of knowledge – Literature and Science –, between the two different writers and, in the end, among the various literary genres that take part of the corpus of this study. After a brief view of the humanity history of scientific and technological advances development, the analysis of the selected texts is performed, endeavoring to emphasize and make the relation between the ways of thinking of these writers, proving that specific ideas about science and its advances really are in the literary production of each other. In the end, after the confrontation established during all over the research between the thinking and the position of the writers, the literature role in the humanity’s development and advance is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
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

Full textAbstract:
Dans la littérature mythique, il y a une sagesse ancienne que l’on propose d’interpréter à partir de la lecture d’Edgar Poe, et qui peut éclairer l’époque postmoderne et les nouveaux enjeux qu’elle pose à l’Homme. En 1848, Edgar Allan Poe, poète héritier de la tradition mythographique, réalise dans son « poème » cosmogonique Eurêka une expérience hybride mariant l’enquête scientifique, l’intuition paranormale et l’imagination poétique. En reliant les mythes, les sciences physiques et l’évolution de la pensée à l’intuition d’une Réalité sous-jacente, il reconnaît une connexion fondamentale entre l’Être et le Monde, et l’existence de vérités indémontrables par une logique ordinaire, comme le principe de Cohésion ou Cohérence universelle (Consistency) qui relie Tout. Les expériences cognitives les plus récentes font apparaître que les conceptions poétiques de Poe rejoignent les questions émergentes des sciences actuelles concernant l’implication de la mémoire et de la conscience dans la fabrique du réel. Elles sont ici reconnues comme étant intimement liées, produisant par leur activité conjointe des phénomènes qui échappent à une vision classique mais laissent des traces interprétables. Une démarche comparative et transdisciplinaire permet d’explorer avec Poe les facultés propres au vivant et de faire l’épreuve de leur visibilité à différents niveaux de réalité. Suivre l’intuition, à la manière de Poe, permet de générer des pistes de recherche qui ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives à condition d’être testables, c’est pourquoi l’approche herméneutique des textes est complétée par une approche expérimentale explorant d’autres modalités d’une reliance fondamentale entre les êtres et leur écosystèmeIn mythical literature, there is an ancient wisdom that is proposed to be interpreted from the reading of Edgar Poe, and which can shed light on the postmodern era and the new challenges it sets for man. In 1848, Edgar Allan Poe, a poet heir to the mythographic tradition, in his cosmogonic "poem" Eureka, carried out a hybrid experiment combining scientific inquiry, paranormal intuition and poetic imagination. By linking myths, physical sciences and the evolution of thought to the intuition of an underlying Reality, he recognizes a fundamental connection between Being and the World, and the existence of truths that cannot be demonstrated by an ordinary logic, like the principle of Cohesion or Universal Coherence (Consistency) which links Everything. The most recent cognitive experiments show that Poe's poetic conceptions agree with emerging questions in current science concerning the involvement of memory and consciousness in the making of reality. They are recognized here as being intimately linked, producing by their joint activity phenomena which escape a classical vision but leave interpretable traces. A comparative and transdisciplinary approach makes it possible to explore with Poe the faculties specific to living things and to test their visibility at different levels of reality. Following intuition, like Poe, makes it possible to generate avenues of research that open up new perspectives on condition that they are testable, which is why the hermeneutical approach to texts is complemented by an experimental approach exploring other modalities of a fundamental link between beings and their ecosystem

The object of this research project is to carry out a literary analysis of the contrast and similarities between the treatment of female portraits presented in some of Edgar Allan Poe’s and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short stories, and further to illustrate the effect this treatment has on the whole thematic and socio-cultural articulation of these narratives. For this purpose the following short stories have been chosen: by Edgar Allan Poe; “Morella” (1835), “Eleonora” (1841), and “Ligeia” (1838), by Nathaniel Hawthorne; “Mrs Bullfrog” (1837) “The Wedding Knell” (1836), and “The Birthmark” (1843). Each of the selected stories has been a contribution to better understand the socio-cultural situation women during the time they were composed.

Full textAbstract:
Une théorie unifiée donnant à Poe une cohérence dans sa diversité est possible lorsqu’on base l’analyse de son œuvre sur sa cosmogonie, c’est-à-dire sur sa conception de l’univers. Celle-ci repose sur un dieu devenu universel en se matérialisant, puis en se divisant en la quasi-infinité de matière formant le monde que nous connaissons. La division de l’âme divine est selon lui reflétée dans la nature intrinsèquement divisée de l’âme humaine. En cela, les notions de temps, de mort et de destinée sont interconnectées : l’histoire cosmique est identique à celle de l’homme, toutes deux régies par le temps et circonscrites par la mort. Cette même histoire se répétant tout au long de son œuvre, elle constitue donc le motif archétypal qui l’unifieA unified theory of Poe’s works, bringing his diverse writing together into one coherent story can be found in his cosmogony, that is to say, in his understanding of universal mechanics. This latter understanding is based on the idea of a god dividing himself into the almost infinity of matter that makes up the universe, building it in his literal image. The division of the divine soul is, according to Poe, echoed by the intrinsic division of the human soul. As such, Time, Death, and Destiny are fundamentally interconnected: cosmic history and human history are one and the same, ruled by time and circumscribed by death. This story can be found all throughout Poe’s works and is thus the archetypal pattern at the core of this unified theory

Le but de cette recherche c´est d´analyser les contes “Ligeia” (1838) d´ Edgar A. Poe et “Véra” (1876) de Villiers de l´Isle- Adam, chef-d´oeuvres du conte poétique de genre fantastique. Bien qu’ Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) ait vécu au début du siècle, et Villiers (1838-1889) à la fin, les deux ont la même perspective sur les événements qui se sont déroulés pendant tout le XIX ème siècle, comme la consolidation du pouvoir de la bourgeoisie, les découvertes technique-cientifiques, parmi d´autres. Si les avantages ont été nombreuses, la misère et l´inégalité sociale ont continué à augmenter. Ajoutée à cette ambiance de gêne sociale, l’ imminente fin du siècle annonçait, sous une perspective apocaliptique, la fin du monde. L’ homme, soumis au destin et aux forces terrestres sur lesquelles il n´a pas de contrôle, a été marqué par la tendance de réduire la vie à un nihilisme qui s´est traduit dans la fixation de la mort comme libération. En préférant le rêve à l´action, Poe et Villiers se sont refugiés dans la tour d´ivoire, en quête de l’ Absolu – méprisé par la société matérialiste de cette époque. Cette attitute a été la même de beaucoup d´autres auteurs qui, plus tard, allaient intégrer le mouvement symboliste dont les auteurs en discussion sont des antecesseurs. Le Symbolisme est né en France à la fin du XIX ème siècle et a atteint son apogée entre les années 1885 et 1895. Il émet, parmi quelques élements-base – le symbole, le rêve, le mythe, l´inconscient – la sensibilité esthétique et les aspirations métaphysiques. Si ce genre a traduit les besoins esthétiques et métaphysiques de cette période, le genre fantastique a été un moyen efficace par lequel ils ont été exprimés.

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar os contos “Ligeia” (1838) de Edgar A. Poe e “Véra” (1876) de Villiers de l´Isle- Adam, obras-primas do conto poético de gênero fantástico. Embora o norte-americano Edgar A. Poe (1809-1849) tenha vivido no começo do século, e Villiers (1838-1889) o tenha no seu fim, ambos têm a mesma perspectiva pessimista sobre os acontecimentos que se desenrolaram durante todo o século XIX, a saber: consolidação do poder da burguesia, descobertas tecnocientíficas, etc. Se os avanços foram muitos, a miséria e a desigualdade social continuaram a aumentar. Acrescido a esse clima de desconforto social, o iminente fim do século anunciava, em uma perspectiva apocalíptica, o fim dos tempos. O homem, submetido ao destino e às forças terrestres sobre as quais não tem controle, fora marcado pela tendência de reduzir a vida a um niilismo que se traduziu na fixação da morte como libertação. Preferindo o sonho à ação, Poe e Villiers se refugiaram na torre de marfim no intento de buscar o Absoluto – preterido pela sociedade materialista da época. Essa atitude foi a mesma de muitos outros autores que integraram o movimento simbolista do qual os referidos autores foram antecessores. O Simbolismo nasceu na França na última parte do século XIX e alcançou seu auge na década situada entre 1885 e 1895. Ele emite através de alguns elementos base – o símbolo, o sonho, o mito, o inconsciente – a sensibilidade estética e as aspirações metafísicas. Se este movimento traduziu as necessidades estéticas e metafísicas desse período, o gênero fantástico foi um meio eficaz pelo qual elas foram expressas. Uma vez que o fantástico pressupõe como princípio a presença do elemento sobrenatural, ele significa, em ultima instância, a fuga da realidade, a contestação dos valores do mundo físico. Não por acaso, depois da inserção...

Full textAbstract:
Le but de la présente thèse est de soumettre la fiction d’Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), en particulier ses nouvelles où figurent des narrateurs intradiégétiques, à une exploration phénoménologique et textuelle visant à montrer comment chez cet auteur l’écriture est mimétique de l’aliénation mentale. Pour ainsi examiner la façon dont la folie se situe au centre de ce corpus et l’informe en déployant des rythmes caractéristiques de la psychose et une symptomatique crédible, nous adoptons une perspective psychopathologique et phénoménologique, telle qu’inaugurée dans la Daseinsanalyse de Ludwig Binswanger et développée par nombre d’émules, dont Ronald D. Laing, Bin Kimura, etc. Dans son approche de la psychose, cette clinique phénoménologique s’organise autour de trois axes centraux : la présomption,le maniérisme et la distorsion, modes d’être au monde pathologiques et prévalents chez les sujets gauchis.La thèse s’appuie parallèlement sur les outils conceptuels de l’analyse littéraire et textuelle, en sorte de dégager les méthodes discursives mimétiques de désordres mentaux, systèmes où le pathos détermine le logos et réciproquementThe aim of the thesis is to submit the fiction of E.A. Poe (1809-1849), in particular his short stories featuring intradiegetic narrators to a phenomenological and textual exploration, the purpose of which is to show how in these works writing becomes mimetic of mental disturbance. In order to thus examine the way in which madness plays a central role in the corpus, shaping it by unfolding rhythms distinctive of psychosis and a credible symptomatology, we adopt a psychopathological and phenomenological perspective, such as inaugurated in psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger’s Daseinsanalyse, developed by a number of disciples,among whom Ronald D. Laing, Bin Kimura, etc. In its approach of psychosis, this phenomenological clinical method is predicated upon three central vectors: presumption, mannerism and distortion, that is to say pathological modes of being in the world that are prevalent among mentally disturbed subjects. The dissertation relies at the same time on the conceptual instruments of literary and textual analysis, to reveal the discursive methods mimetic of mental disorders, namely systems where pathos determines logos and conversely

Esta tesis, titulada El sujeto y su doble: Asedios al héroe fantástico, tiene como objetivo principal analizar e interpretar la figura del doble en tres relatos fantásticos: William Wilson (Poe), El Horla (Maupassant), y El retrato de Dorian Gray (Wilde). A través de ellos se busca esclarecer las dimensiones, variaciones e incidencias que estos Doppelgänger tienen en relación con el héroe, quien es acosado como presencia fantasmal por el Otro creando un vínculo especular que deriva en su aniquilación. La función interna de la imaginación motiva interacciones “aparentes” entre los actores de la obra. Surge así la figura del Otro como alteridad radical.En los tres relatos, el doble cumple funciones distintas y constituye una representación del sujeto ante sí mismo, una proyección que evidencia su despersonalización y un cuestionamiento acerca de su propia constitución como tal, que se vuelve inestable. Lo anterior se lleva a cabo a partir de un análisis que contempla las teorías acerca de lo fantástico, la narratología y el psicoanálisis, principalmente.

Este trabalho revisita a teoria do escopo formulada por Katharina Reiß e Hans Vermeer em Grundlegung einer allgemeinen Translationstheorie (1984) a fim de investigar como os conceitos de “tradução comunicativa” e “tradução equivalente” podem ser aplicados a uma nova tradução do criptograma presente em “The Gold-Bug” (1843), de Edgar Allan Poe. Embora o conto tenha mais de vinte traduções diferentes para o português brasileiro, a necessidade de uma nova tradução justifica-se pela insuficiência de todas aquelas existentes no que diz respeito ao tratamento literário dos problemas especiais suscitados pelo criptograma e pela decifração deste no interior da narrativa. A importância da criptologia na gênese, na recepção e na posterior influência de “The Gold- Bug” é demonstrada através de exemplos e argumentos, e a seguir uma nova tradução do criptograma é proposta com o objetivo de produzir em português brasileiro um texto dotado das mesmas qualidades literárias e raciocinativas que resultaram na imensa popularidade do conto e na elevação de Poe ao status de gênio ainda no século XIX.This paper presents a brief summary of the Skopostheorie proposed by Katharina Reiß and Hans Vermeer in Grundlegung einer allgemeinen Translationstheorie (1984) in order to assess the way in which the concepts of “communicative translation” and “equivalent translation” could be applied to a new translation of the cryptogram found in Edgar Allan Poe’s short-story, “The Gold-Bug” (1843). There are over twenty translations of the story into Brazilian Portuguese, but a new effort is nonetheless in order in view of the insufficiency of all existing translations with regard to the literary treatment of the special problems posed by the cipher and Legrand’s decipherment. The important role played by cryptology in the genesis, reception and later influence of “The Gold-Bug” is demonstrated by means of examples and arguments, and finally a new translation of the cryptogram is proposed with the aim of producing, in Brazilian Portuguese, a text with the same literary and ratiocinative qualities which eventually led to the tale’s immense popularity and Poe’s rise to the status of “genius” still in the 19th century.

This thesis deals with an analysis of tales “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar” (1845), “Mesmeric Revelation,” (1844) and “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains” (1844) written by Edgar Allan Poe ( 1809-1849), mainly some related to the mesmerism between 18th and 19th centuries.

As well as, the followers of Mesmer, as, A.M.J.C.Puységur (1751-1825), J.P.F.Deleuze (1755-1835), Du Potet (1796-1881). Chapter 2 is based on mesmerism, and trance, induced somnambulism, as methods and experiments adopted by magnetists Charles Poyen (?-1844), John Elliotson (1791-1868), James Esdaile (1808-1859), Robert H. Collyer (1814-1891) that used these resources for surgical procedures, mesmeric analgesia. Chapter 3 presents the author Edgar Allan Poe through of mesmeric tales, in view of dialogues of characters Valdemar and Vankirk have suffered from tuberculosis, and Bedloe is subject to severe bouts of neuralgia, and submitted to mesmeric sleep, by physicians Dr. Templeton Dr. P., Dr. D. e Dr. F. e M.

Full textAbstract:
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.

O espaço e o tempo são elementos estruturais de fundamental importância na narrativa literária, podendo assumir funções diversas. Os métodos e os recursos narrativos de que o escritor dispõe são variados. A sua instauração gera uma relação entre ambos de valores estéticos e narrativos muitas vezes diferentes para cada obra. Cada escritor projeta-os segundo a sua concepção estético-literária e ao seu estilo. Partindo deste axioma, que é a existência do espaço e do tempo como categorias narrativas, analisamos duas obras literárias específicas: o conto “O gato preto”, de Edgar Allan Poe, e o romance O Processo, de Franz Kafka. A partir da análise das respectivas obras, verificamos como ambas as categorias narrativas se apresentam em um conto e em um romance e como elas auxiliam na obtenção de efeitos pré-definidos, como, por exemplo, os efeitos elencados na filosofia da composição e no realismo fantástico, respectivamente. Objetivamos ressaltar as especificidades de como Poe e Kafka retratam o espaço e o tempo em ambas narrativas. Pretendemos estudar, desta forma, os principais aspectos narrativos do conto e do romance em questão de modo a ressaltar as suas especificidades, elencando as suas funções narrativas, para tanto trabalhamos com os conceitos de espaço tópico e descrito, além dos aspectos do tempo a partir do nível narrativo e do nível diegético
Space and Time are structural elements of fundamental importance in literary narrative, and may take several functions. The methods and narrative procedures the writer arranges are diverse. Their establishment generate a relationship between them which aesthetic and narrative values are often different for each work. Each writer designs them according to their style, as well as their aesthetic-literary conceptions. From this axiom, which is the existence of space and time as narrative categories, we analyze two specific literary works: the short story called The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe, and the novel The Judgment by Franz Kafka. Drawing on the analysis of their works, we see how both categories are presented in a short story and in a novel and how they assist in achieving predefined effects, such as the ones listed in “The Philosophy of Composition” and in the Fantastic Realism, respectively. Our aim is to highlight the specificities of how Poe and Kafka portray Space and Time in both narratives. By doing so, we intend to study the main narrative aspects of the short story and the novel in question so as to highlight their specific features, listing their narrative functions. Therefore, the concepts of topic and described Space, in addition to the aspects of Time from the narrative and diegetic levels are focused

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:
Hantologie - terme composé, formé par Jacques Derrida - signifie : " ontologie (c'est-à-dire, science de l'être) de ce qui "hante" : les spectres, les fantômes " (Charles Ramond, Le Vocabulaire de Jacques Derrida). Le néologisme derridien est une paronomase, le paronyme d'un mot - ontologie -, dont il n'est pas un synonyme. L'hantologie est une " " catégorie [...] irréductible, et d'abord à tout ce qu'elle rend possible, l'ontologie, la théologie, l'onto-théologie positive ou négative ", écrit Jacques Derrida (Spectres de Marx). C'est une ontologie, l'ontologie de l'être du non-être et du non-être de l'être, de quelque chose ou quelqu'un qui " n'est pas là ", " comme tout fantôme digne de ce nom " (Ibid.). " Il n'y a pas de Dasein du spectre mais il n'y a pas de Dasein sans l'inquiétante étrangeté, sans l'étrange familiarité (Unheimlichkeit) de quelque spectre " (Ibid.) Il n'y a pas d'ontologie, donc, sans hantologie. Appliquée à l'étude des textes, l'hantologie derridienne n'est pas une nouvelle méthodologie de l'analyse littéraire. Elle vise moins à définir un texte qu'à se demander, d'abord, quelle question nous posons lorsque nous demandons : qu'est-ce qu'un texte ? S'agit-il d'une question d'ordre ontologique ? phénoménologique ? En demandant : qu'est-ce qu'un texte ?, nous disons déjà que le texte est quelque chose, quelque chose dont nous sentons bien qu'il n'est pas qu'une chose. Qu'il soit un objet, d'ailleurs, cela n'est pas sûr, et s'il l'est, il reste à savoir pourquoi et comment. Il l'est, si l'on souscrit au discours du structuralisme. Il ne l'est plus, si l'on adopte la définition barthésienne du texte comme productivité. L'hantologie du texte n'est pas un simple catalogue des fantômes de la littérature. Elle consiste surtout à étudier les hantises de l'écriture et de la lecture - les mots fantômes notamment (anagrammes, palindromes, etc.) et les textes fantômes (hypotextes, intertextes). C'est une recherche attentive au procès de signifiance du texte, appropriée aux œuvres de Poe et de Baudelaire, et dont la proposition critique est elle-même déductible de leurs créations. Notre thèse cherche à mettre en évidence les possibilités d'une telle déduction à travers des études comparées de leurs œuvres littéraires, poétiques, traductions de Poe par Baudelaire comprises, en portant une attention toute particulière aux figures et motifs de la revenance, à la problématique de l'image et du langage, laquelle intègre les questions de traduction (copie, fidélité à la lettre ou à l'esprit de la lettre, etc.).

Full textAbstract:
Odilon Redon, The Visual Poet of Edgar Allan Poe: A Study of the Lithographic Album A Edgar Poe argues that the album A Edgar Poe, published in 1882, fundamentally alters Redon's artistic career. The thesis advocates the importance of Poe's writing to Redon's development, contending that the lithographic album confirms nineteenth-century literary and artistic interest in Poe. The thesis maintains that, while Redon subsequently attempted to disassociate himself from the American writer, his art was recognized and admired for its Poe-esque visions. Chapter One examines Edgar Allan Poe's influence on the nineteenth-century French artistic and literary avant-garde. The chapter argues that the artistic and spiritual resemblance between Poe and Redon facilitates the design the lithographic album A Edgar Poe, a work Redon uses to promote his own standing as an artist. Through examination of the original plates of the lithographic album A Edgar Poe at The Art Institute of Chicago, Chapter Two illustrates Poe's centrality to the evolution of Redon's art. Chapter Three argues for the importance of A Edgar Poe in Redon's oeuvre, contending that subsequent albums and commissions show the important role of literary art in Redon's artistic growth. The chapter demonstrates the significance of Redon's work to the Symbolist avant-garde of Brussels. Utilizing Andre Mellerio's notes, essays, collected letters and writings in the Ryerson & Burnham Library at the Art Institute of Chicago, the thesis argues that the album A Edgar Poe represents a pivotal stage in Redon's career through its dedication to a literary artist and the unification of art and poetry. Contending that the album develops themes prevalent in the noirs, the thesis illustrates the artistic resemblance and relationship between Poe and Redon and emphasizes the crucial role of Poe's work in Redon's progression and acceptance as an artist.

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciada en Lengua y Literatura HispánicaIn this work I will study a particular urban subject present in every society, I will investigate the urban subject of the criminal illustrated in an Edgar Allan Poe’s selection of seven tales. In this case I have decided to rename the criminal as “pariah”. I use this term because I consider that it fits perfectly when defining a person that is “undesirable” and “rejected” by society. The choice of this term is also supported by David Reynolds’s work Beneath the American Renaissance in which he refers to the “asocial” subjects of the urban city as a “pariah”. I have lent this term because I consider that it is suitable to describe the subject being studied. It is also relevant to add that Charles Baudelaire refers to Poe as a “—drunkard pauper, oppressed pariah” (58). The use of the term pariah to refer to Edgar Allan Poe’s protagonists is just a coincidence with Baudelaire’s use of the term.

Un aspect essentiel de la photographie a été oublié : la qualité d'enregistrement, l'enjeu du déclenchement. La thèse étudie d'abord les cadres théoriques et esthétiques dans lesquels le processus technique marque par le déclenchement peut être inscrit. Elle montre que c'est le récit de détection, invention consécutive à celle de lIa photographie, qui « relève » le choc de cette dernière. La seconde partie s'attache à comprendre cette reforme visuelle de la fiction menée par Edgar Poe sur le modèle du processus photographique, et la façon dont s'y définit un imaginaire, c'est à dire une forme de sensibilisation au photographique organisée par la fiction. Dans une troisième partie, la thèse étudie comment le récit de détection, de par son imaginaire, prend valeur de Laboratoire d'expérimentation de nouvelles formes de consommation visuelle de I'imprimé. Elle montre comment chez Hergé, l'imaginaire photographique contribue a la définition d'une cinématique propre à la bande dessinée.

Full textAbstract:
Ce mémoire analyse les différentes formes d'anglophilie que l'on retrouve chez Stéphane Mallarmé. Edgar Poe est grandement responsable de l'attachement du poète français pour la langue anglaise. En effet, celui-ci affirme dans sa correspondance avoir appris cette langue afin de "mieux lire Poe". Cette étude le mène à devenir professeur d'anglais à Tournon où il connaît en 1866 sa "crise". À ce moment-là, le poète voit sa conception de la poésie se transformer radicalement. Durant la décennie suivante, il entreprend des travaux philologiques ainsi que des traductions. La "décennie anglaise" voit Mallarmé se doter d'outils scientifiques afin de résoudre la crise déclenchée quelques années plus tôt. Cette démarche participe à l'œuvre poétique qu'il produira par la suite puisqu'elle replie le langage sur lui-même, séparant ainsi le signifiant de son référant. L'effacement langagier, qu'il met alors sur pied, permet au poète de préserver l'Idéal du grand Œuvre tout en admettant l'impossibilité de sa réalisation. Notre travail étudie d'abord les textes que Mallarmé consacre à Poe. Le sonnet "Tombeau d'Edgar Poe" écrit en 1877, le texte en prose paru dans Divagations en 1897 et les quelques références qui apparaissent dans les Vers de circonstance, publication posthume, dessinent une image héroïque du poète tout en redéfinissant son rôle. Synthèse des mythes grecs et chrétiens, le poète conçu par Mallarmé lutte avec son verbe contre les effets du temps. Les traductions que Mallarmé fait des poèmes de Poe entre 1862 et 1889 permettent à l'auteur français de manipuler la matière sonore d'une façon nouvelle. Sacrifiant le critère de fidélité au profit de la mélodie, le poète essuiera les reproches de critiques du XIXe et du XXe siècle avant de trouver des appuis chez certains traducteurs de poésie dont Yves Bonnefoy. Les ouvrages philologiques de Mallarmé, quant à eux, étudient la langue anglaise comme une langue étrangère. À partir de ces textes, le poète développera le mythe d'une langue autre qui donnerait accès à un monde jusqu'ici inaccessible. De plus, le travail de réécriture qui se fait dans ces ouvrages annonce la "disparition élocutoire du poète" que nous retrouverons plus tard dans "Crise de ver". Finalement, la lecture que Mallarmé fait de Poe l'aide à concevoir l'Œuvre pure ainsi que l'effacement langagier. En mettant la mort au centre de son œuvre, le poète américain prépare la voie à l'écriture hermétique de Mallarmé.

Resumo: Nos estudos literários, os textos traduzidos têm sido tradicionalmente considerados inferiores ao que se convencionou chamar texto original. Perpassando este conceito de originalidade do texto, encontramos uma série de preconceitos que foram se acumulando ao longo do tempo e que, em parte, devem-se mais a questões de mercado que necessariamente literárias. Porém, a despeito disto, a critica de tradução de caráter tradicionalista segue cobrando da tradução e do tradutor uma fidelidade ao "original" impossível de ser a1cançada,não reconhecendo a diferença como fator inerente à tradução. Ao montar o cenário em que se desenrola o jogo de relações entre originalidade, tradução e mercado editorial, e apontar o papel dos diferentes personagens que atuam neste cenário - escritores do texto de partida e do texto de chegada, teóricos, criticos, professores e editores de tradução -, nosso objetivo nesta dissertação é não apenas demonstrar que a constatada supervalorização do "original" se asseyya sobre um conceito equivocado de originalidade que precisa ser revisto, mas também empreender esta revisão. Para chegarmos a este objetivo, partimos do questionamento dos parâmetros usados por aqueles que consideram a tradução inferior ao "original" para distinguir um do outro. Ao analisar nosso corpus, composto por vários "casos" envolvendo questões de tradução, com destaque para a relação entre Charles Baudelaire e Edgar Allan Poe, chegamos à conclusão de que tais parâmetros não existem, o que implica a impossibilidade de se identificar com total segurança uma tradução quando não se dispõe do que chamamos elementos formais de distinção - nome do autor do original, título original, nome do tradutor e data de publicação do original e da tradução. Ao constatarmos que a inferioridade, em termos literários, não é inerente à tradução e, conseqüentemente, a superioridade não é inerente ao "original", esperamos o devido redimensionamento do valor do "original" e reconhecimento do valor da tradução, enquanto resultado e processo, bem como do tradutor

Full textAbstract:
À partir d’une étude des représentations de la souffrance, notre recherche entend mettre en lumière les enjeux et les conséquences d’un effet de lecture qui consiste à confondre le discours d’un auteur et la parole d’une instance élaborée dans son œuvre. Aisément rattachée aux potentialités créatrices de Fédor Dostoïevski, Charles Baudelaire et Edgar Allan Poe, la souffrance joue un rôle essentiel dans la réception internationale des auteurs. Les représentations complexes de celle-ci au sein de leur œuvre ont donné lieu au développement d’une esthétique particulière, au centre de laquelle se trouve un sujet dont la vie intérieure peut aisément être confondue avec celle de celui qui écrit. La souffrance vient ainsi montrer la fragilité de l’identité dont les représentations sont toujours fragmentées, paradoxales, ou encore oxymoriques. Dans ces conditions, la souffrance agit bien, selon le poème de Baudelaire, « comme un poison lumineux ». Répandue dans et par un sujet toujours en mouvement, elle se dérobe à mesure qu’elle révèle, abandonnant ainsi le lecteur à l’insoutenable mystère de l’identitéBased on the study of the representations of suffering, our research considers the issues and consequences of a reader’s tendency to confuse the author’s voice with one of an instance which is created within his writing. Suffering being easily presented in relation to the creative potential, it plays a large part in the authors international reception. Its complex representations in the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Charles Baudelaire and Edgar Allan Poe led these writers to develop a particular aesthetic, in the center of which is a created subject with an inner-self which is easily confused with that of the author. The embodiment of suffering thus shows the fragility of identity, of which the representations are always fragmented, paradoxical or even oxymoronic, because it allows the coexistence of multiple approaches regarding its representations. From that perspective, suffering acts, as the prose poem of Charles Baudelaire said, as a “luminous poison”. Spread inside and from a moving subject, suffering hides and reveals at the same time, thereby confronting the reader with the unbearable mystery of identity

Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo principal investigar a composição do suspense narrativo – suas origens e implicações – a partir da análise das obras de Edgar Allan Poe, G.K. Chesterton e Alfred Hitchcock. Tendo como base o levantamento feito na obra de dois grandes nomes da crime-fiction literária e uma análise na obra cinematográfica do ‘mestre do suspense’, definiu-se os contos The Black Cat, de Poe, e The Honour of Israel Gow, de Chesterton, além do filme The Lodger, de Hitchcock, como modelos de narrativas paradigmáticas no conjunto das obras de cada um dos artistas em questão. Desse modo, com base nas análises narrativas e no aporte teórico acerca do suspense, colocar-se-á o embate entre culpa e inocência como elemento comum às narrativas dos três autores; bem como será discutida a hipótese de que, a partir da convergência entre elementos peculiares à obra de Poe e os particulares à obra de Chesterton, Hitchcock conseguiu criar um suspense moral bastante característico ao seu estilo de crime-fiction cinematográfico. Ou seja, como base numa simples ligação inicial – a crime-fiction – essa pesquisa pretende levantar o máximo de informações e conexões nos contos e no filme em análise a fim de compreender o suspense e o medo originados no conflito entre culpa e inocência, tanto na literatura quanto no cinema.
This research has as main objective investigating the composition of suspense narratives – their origins and implications – from the analysis of the works of Edgar Allan Poe, G.K. Chesterton and Alfred Hitchcock. On the basis of the survey on the works of two great names in literary crime-fiction and the examination on the filmography of ‘the master of suspense’: Poe’s Black Cat, Chesterton’s The Honor of Israel Gow and Hitchcock's The Lodger are defined as models of paradigmatic narratives in the oeuvres of each artist in question. Thus, based on the narrative analysis and the theoretical support about suspense, the contrast between blame and innocence will be assigned as a common element to the narratives of the three authors; as well as it will be discussed the hypothesis that Hitchcock created a moral suspense, quite characteristic to his cinema style of crime-fiction, from the convergence between peculiar elements of Poe’s work and odd elements of Chesterton’s work. In other words, based on a simple initial connection – the crime-fiction – this research intends to collect the maximum information on the stories under analysis in order to comprehend the suspense and the fear originated in the conflict between guilt and innocence, in both arts (cinema and literature).

Full textAbstract:
Hedayat, passionné des normes occidentales réalise son souhait de libérer la littérature persane du joug du conformisme littéraire, en rencontrant les œuvres littéraires des maitres occidentaux. La pensée et l'œuvre de Hedayat ont subi l'influence occidentale durant une vaste période de sa vie. Dans notre étude ces moments de rencontre sont retraces. On a privilégié la rencontre avec Poe et découvert l'univers de la peur et de l'horreur de la mort qui s'accomplissent dans le crime et la perte d'identité. Hedayat est novateur en adoptant les nouvelles techniques littéraires. Baudelaire, Poe Rilke, Joyce, Kafka, Faulkner sont les écrivains chez qui Hedayat admirait le style. L'écriture hedayatienne se dote des techniques qui lui permettent d'exprimer l'angoisse de l'homme moderne. Si Hedayat est novateur par rapport à la littérature persane, il l'est également par rapport a la littérature occidentale. Quelques caractéristiques dans l'œuvre de Hedayat qui ont trait aux romans modernes nous révèlent des affinités avec le nouveau roman et plus particulièrement avec Robbe-Grillet et le théâtre de l'absurde de Beckett. Hedayat dans sa rencontre avec l'occident découvre un autre enchantement qui provient des écrans de cinéma. Les frissons ressentis de Nosferatu et du cabinet du dr Caligari nous rappellent l'univers fantastique de la chouette aveugle de HedayatHedayat, passionned by the techniques of the western works, realize his aim to liberate the persan literature from the yoke of the conventionalism, after meeting the great masters of the western literature. The thought and the works of hedayat have been influenced by western current in a large period of his life. In our study these moments of the meeting are traced. We privileged the meeting with poe and discoverd the univers of the fear and the horror of the death, accomplished in the crime and the loss of the identity. Hedayat is an innovator in adopting the new techniques of writing. Baudelaire, Poe, Rilke, Joyce, Kafka, Faulkner are authors, Hedayat admired the style. The work of Hedayat let him to express the qualms of the modern man. If Hedayat is an innovator in persan literature, he is also in western literature. Some qualifications of his work show us affinities with nouveaux romans specially, with Robbe-Grillet works, and the theater of the absurd specially with beckett's works. Hedayat in his meeting with the west discovers another enchantement. It comes from the screens. The shundders left from the nosferatu and the cabinet of dr caligari remind us the fantastic univers of the blind owl of Hedayat

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude examine un des aspects du rapport entre écrivains et public en France au XXe siècle : il s’agit de la perception grandissante parmi les écrivains français qu’un public de masse et la démocratisation de la société menaçaient la littérature et l’abaissaient. Notre étude commence par tracer l’origine de cette perception au XIXe siècle, dans les écrits d’un des premiers écrivains à évoquer le grand public dans sa poétique, Edgar Allan Poe. L’écrivain américain pensait qu’un public de masse était une bonne chose pour la littérature, alors qu’en France des écrivains comme Mallarmé et Baudelaire ont vu en cette poétique un avertissement contre les dangers d’un public de masse. Leur perception de Poe a préparé le terrain pour l’approche de la littérature épousée par les symbolistes. Selon eux, l’écrivain devrait créer une littérature difficile d’accès et ainsi ne pas courtiser un large public. Paul Valery est l’un des représentants les plus connu de cette approche et nous explorons dans cette thèse ces écrits sur la littérature et la culture, ainsi que sa réussite extraordinaire (et d’apparence paradoxale). Cette réussite lui a permis de développer des idées politiques telles que la définition de l’Europe et de s’exprimer sur les échanges culturels. Notre étude suggère que si des écrivains comme Valéry étaient célèbres et la littérature « difficile » qu’ils pratiquaient populaire, c’est grâce au rôle crucial joué par les critiques littéraires qui jouaient un rôle de médiateur. L’étude se termine en examinant la programmation littéraire à la radio en France durant les années 1930 et 1940. Les émissions étaient pour la plupart créées et maintenues non pas par les écrivains mais par les critiques littéraires. Leurs efforts, ainsi que la visibilité et les écrits de Valéry soulignant l’importance d’une littérature difficile et d’une civilisation raffinée ont aidé à maintenir la popularité et l’influence des écrivains en France jusqu’après la Deuxième guerre mondialeThis study examines one aspect of the relationship between writers and thiers public in twentieth century France : the growing concern among French writers that a mass public and increased democratization in society were lowering the standards of literature. Our study begins by tracing the roots of this concern to the nineteenth century and to the writings of one of the first writers to address the issue in his poetics, Edgar Allan Poe. Poe believed that a mass public was a good thing for literature, but french writer interpreted Poe’s poetics as warning against the potential danger of a large and diverse public influencing writers. This perception of Poe Set the stage for symbolist poets to argue that writers should no cater to a large public and should remain as far removed as possible from the masses. Paul Valéry is one of the greatest spokesmen for this approach and we chronicle his writings on literature and culture approach. Our study suggests that writers like Valéry were in fact very successful and literature itself quite popular and influential in society during this period because of the crucial role that literary critics played as mediators between inaccessible and difficult writers like Valéry and a mass public. This popularity allowed writers like Valery to develop political notions that were widely sirulated such as his definition of Europe and proposals about cultural exchange. Our study concludes by examining literary prorams on the radio in the 1930s and 1940s, which were largely created and maintained, not by writers but by literary critics. Their efforts, along with writings (like those of Valery) promoting “difficult” literature and refined civilization, helped writers to maintain their influence and popularity in France until after World War II

The objective of this work is to study the myth of the double as character in the novel The Double, of Jose Saramago, published in 2002. To explain the form of this myth in the Contemporarity we cover the trajectory of the myth since the sprouting of the reason and the conscience of itself in the beginning of the man. As hypothesis, we understand the myth of the double as non-separable part of the nature human being who will follow the evolution of the artistic phenomena, since the first representations in the walls of the caves until the fragmentary art contemporary, being its literary construction impregnated by the historical and social-cultural modifications, transforming the literary language into instrument of critical and metalanguage. To justify the study of the myth to be the primordial form of narration, oral in principle, suffering to a mutation to be registered for the writing, losing the sacred character and acquiring literary contours. It is in this aspect that we observe the transformation of the myth, more specifically, from the work of Edgar Allan Poe, the short story William Wilson, chosen for its importance in the formatting of a double modern, fruit of a society that entries for the Modern Age for the Industrial Revolution and its consequences, such as the growth of the cities and the massification of the population; until the romance The Double, presenting a double in search of an identity that if presents unstable. Analyzing the double while character, we verify the influences of the historical and social-cultural factors in its composition, beyond its relation with the author and the narrator of the literary text, the some voices that if face in the narrative and propitiate to look at intent disclosing the double that if it projects in these relations and it constructs a multifaceted text
O objetivo desse trabalho é estudar o mito do duplo como personagem na obra O homem duplicado, de José Saramago, publicada em 2002. Para entender a forma desse mito na contemporaneidade percorremos sua trajetória desde o surgimento da razão e da consciência de si nos primórdios do homem. Como hipótese, entendemos o mito do duplo como parte inseparável da natureza humana que acompanhará a evolução dos fenômenos artísticos, desde as primeiras representações nas paredes das cavernas até a fragmentária arte contemporânea, sendo sua construção literária impregnada pelas modificações históricas e sócio-culturais, transformando a linguagem literária em instrumento de crítica e de metalinguagem. Justifica-se o estudo do mito por ser essa a forma primordial de narração, a princípio oral, sofrendo uma mutação ao ser registrado pela escrita, perdendo o caráter sagrado e adquirindo contornos literários. É nesse aspecto que observamos a transformação do mito do duplo, mais especificamente a partir da obra de Edgar Allan Poe, o conto William Wilson, escolhido pela sua importância na formatação de um duplo moderno, fruto de uma sociedade que adentra a Era Moderna pela Revolução Industrial e suas conseqüências, tais como o crescimento das cidades e a massificação da população; até o romance O homem duplicado, apresentando um duplo em busca de uma identidade que se apresenta instável. Analisando o duplo enquanto personagem, verificamos as influências dos fatores históricos e sócio-culturais na sua composição, além de sua relação com o autor e o narrador do texto literário, as várias vozes que se enfrentam na narrativa e propiciam um olhar atento revelando o duplo que se projeta nessas relações e constrói um texto multifacetado

Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail se donne pour objectif d’éclairer les liens entre l’œuvre narrative de Raymond QUENEAU et les récits anglo-saxons qu’il a lus et recensés de 1917 à 1938. Dans un premier temps, un classement raisonné à partir des listes de lectures queniennes nous a permis de délimiter une assemblée de dix auteurs, précurseurs ou emblèmes de la modernité en littérature, dont les écrits entrent en résonance précoce et prolongée avec les textes queniens (Edgar Allan POE, Lewis CARROLL, Joseph CONRAD, Henry JAMES, James JOYCE, William FAULKNER, Gertrude STEIN, Ernest HEMINGWAY, Henry MILLER, Erskine CALDWELL). L’établissement de ce socle empirique nous a permis, dans un second temps, de dépasser les filiations déjà amplement discutées par la critique et, grâce à une confrontation minutieuse des écritures, d’identifier des corrélations plus souterraines, parfois méconnues. C’est dans ce cadre que nous avons cherché à répondre à nos questions : comment QUENEAU inscrit-il sa singularité littéraire dans le terreau d’une poétique moderne qui déstabilise radicalement les composantes de la fiction classique en soupçonnant la viabilité d’une représentation signifiante ? Ou encore : comment QUENEAU, entouré de ses pairs anglo-saxons favoris, figure-t-il littérairement l’ontologie de l’inquiétude face à l’abolition possible du sens du monde et des êtres ?This study aims at clarifying the connections between Raymond QUENEAU’s prose works and the narratives from the English-speaking world which he read and listed from 1917 to 1938. On the basis of a rational perusal of QUENEAU’s reading lists, we first delineated a group of ten writers who announce or epitomize literary modernity and whose writings reveal a concurrence, both precocious and lasting, with the French writer’s own texts (Edgar Allan POE, Lewis CARROLL, Joseph CONRAD, Henry JAMES, James JOYCE, William FAULKNER, Gertrude STEIN, Ernest HEMINGWAY, Henry MILLER, Erskine CALDWELL). This empirical foundation having been firmly established, we were then able to go beyond the links which have been widely discussed in current criticism and to identify less detectable and sometimes underrated relations. Within that framework we investigated several issues : how does QUENEAU express his literary originality against the background of modern poetics where the basic features of classical fiction are thoroughly undermined because of the doubt cast upon the validity of meaningful representation? Once seen in the company of his favourite English-speaking authors, how does Queneau use the art of writing to outline an ontology of anxiety when facing the possible annihilation of both mundane reality and beings?

Autour des voyages extraordinaires de jules verne, cette contribution envisage un corpus dont la coherence se veut d'ordre psycho-thematique : le voyage comme exploration de la mort, et l'ecriture comme voyage fantasmatique. Des lors, le voyage n'est plus seulement le reve d'epuiser les ressources de la mappemonde, mais aussi un reve d'utopies : utopies de l'ailleurs, de l'amour, du futur, d'un accord nature-societe-utopies qui se voient contraintes, devant les ingerences du siecle, a l'exorcisme paradoxal que constituent les diverses contre-utopies : mal moral explore par le recit policier ou le recit fantastique, souvent associes ; mal politique envisage tant en fonction des blocages imposes au desir, que des trop reelles oppressions d'une histoire titubant a l'aveuglette- tandis que la science-fiction tente d'y voir clair dans la stochastique du futur. D'ou la dilection de notre travail pour les differentes formes de la litterature des limites, celle qui, sachant que le monde n'est que notre representation, se soucie peu des normes d'un pseudo-realisme reducteur. Merveilleux, fantastique, science-fiction, utopie et contre-utopie, poesie et exploration du mal sont donc autant de manieres de dire, non pas l'absurdite, mais le sens infini du monde. Que la transcendance debute par l'ecrit, tel fut peut-etre, du premier au dernier de ces textes, notre fil conducteurThis thesis is a corpus centred round jules verne's voyages extraordinaires and its coherence is meant to be psychothematic : travelling is seen as an exploration of death, and writing as an imaginary journey. Thus, travelling is not merely a dream of exhausting what a map of the world may offer, but also a dream of utopias : the utopias of the extraneous, of love, of the future, of a harmony between nature and society - such utopias are forced into the para- doxical exorcism which the various counter-utopias have formed: a moral evil explored by detective of fantastic narratives, a political evil seen as a repre- hension of desires and as the oppression inflicted by history- meanwhile science-fiction tries to see through a hazardous future. Hence our preference for the various aspects of the literature of limits, which, aware that the world is only our weltanschaaumg, is quite heedless of the rules of a reducing pseudo-realism. Therefore, the wonderful, the fantastic, science-fiction, utopias and counter-utopias, poetry and the exploration of death are as many ways of expressing not the preposterousness but the infinite significance of the world. Let transcendency begin with writing, such was, perhaps, our clew, from the first to the last of these texts

Brown, Natalie. "Missing Homes: Poe, Brontë, Dickens and Displacement." Thesis, 2021. https://doi.org/10.7916/d8-h5bv-yp77.
Full textAbstract:
“Missing Homes” examines three nineteenth-century authors whose experiences of displacement from home, professions and/or class influenced their literary innovations. Displacement is not a new theme to scholars of nineteenth-century literature, who have established it as a defining experience of an era characterized by financial crises, industrial development, migration and empire. However, scholarship on displacement has often focused on how novels train readers to manage the experience of displacement and has depicted the emotions like nostalgia that arise from it as potentially compensatory or reconciliatory to the dynamics of capitalism. “Missing Homes” departs from these narratives to explore authors who found displacement anything but manageable or liberating and whose works illustrate a more unstable spectrum of emotional responses to displacement and its dire long-term consequences. Attention to these authors, I argue, offers a parallel theory of nostalgia in which the unsettled longing for a place to call home registers political discontent with the relationship between the individual and the collective rather than reconciles the individual to displacement.
Departing from critics who have focused primarily on the work performed by metaphors and figures of the domestic, “Missing Homes” engages in biographical readings of the lives, economic circumstances and fiction of Edgar Allan Poe, Charlotte Brontë and Charles Dickens to show how they pursued fantasies of securing homes that could remove them from undesirable personal, economic and political conditions. The failures of these fantasies reveal how conventional narratives describing how individuals might attain security often fail in the face of collective economic conditions in which attaining objects like a home is both economically challenging and often emotionally unfulfilling. Although the variables of their lives were different, I suggest that these authors’ stories of displacement fail to perform therapeutic or intervening work, because the problem of displacement is rooted in material conditions that narrative innovation alone cannot resolve. Instead, readers should derive from these texts and their failures the need for more collective forms of security.

Full textAbstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado em Estudos Francófonos presentada à Universidade AbertaO presente trabalho de investigação baseia-se fortemente numa abordagem comparativista, centrada na leitura interpretativa/analítica/comparativa (temática, formal, estilística) da obra Bruges-la-Morte, de Georges Rodenbach, em articulação com os contos Ligeia de Edgar Allan Poe e La chevelure de Guy de Maupassant, no sentido de descodificar os vectores que compõem as representações da mulher, no âmbito mais específico do imaginário finissecular. Centra-se na leitura comparativa e rigorosa do corpus formado pelas obras supracitadas, no seu cruzamento e confronto, no sentido de descodificar a coincidência fortuita ou não dos traços da “mulher”, tendo em conta as marcas da decadência e da poética simbolista que enformam essa literatura de finais do século XIX. Mas acima de tudo as marcas duma literatura fantástica, ainda pouco representada, no que concerne o autor Rodenbach. Define-se também a representação da mulher no imaginário finissecular a partir das obras destes autores de nacionalidades diferentes. Evidenciam-se as características mais importantes. Apesar das semelhanças entre os três textos referidos, analisa-se de que modo algumas dessas características, já presentes nos textos de Poe e de Maupassant, se vão equacionar com a obra maior de Rodenbach, que as retoma e reescreve de forma curiosa, original e imaginativa, integrando novos elementos do imaginário preponderantemente decadente do “fin de siècle” e do mundo fantástico. Em simultâneo, estudam-se os elementos-chave da estética simbolista com o intuito de compreender melhor a transcendência de um discurso assente nos símbolos e nas alegorias, na construção metafórica e nas imagens inéditas, capazes de sugerir em vez de significar. Complementarmente, recorre-se à contextualização da época, sobretudo da obra de Rodenbach. Recorre-se também a métodos de análise e a perspectivas da história da literatura, assim como a estudos e a trabalhos de crítica literária. Visa-se, por um lado, investigar e dar a conhecer um autor fundamental, que é Georges Rodenbach, no que concerne o 10 movimento simbolista, a realidade fantástica e a literatura de finais do século XIX. Por outro lado, e mais concretamente, pretende-se com esta investigação estudar e analisar as representações da mulher a partir da obra mais emblemática do autor belga – Bruges-la-Morte. Para tal, considera-se necessário partir do confronto com outros autores de expressões francesa e inglesa, com os quais é pertinente relacioná-lo, tendo em vista a temática escolhida. Trata-se de autores tão diferentes como Maupassant (autor francês) e Poe (autor de língua inglesa). A integração de um autor anglófono, como Poe, num corpus francófono, deve-se ao facto de se tratar de um grande mestre do “fantástico” e um dos maiores autores do imaginário, o qual teve um peso enorme neste período, tendo influenciado Rodenbach, entre muitos outros, nomeadamente Baudelaire e Mallarmé. Ao analisar o autor belga (praticamente incógnito no nosso país, nos países francófonos e até no seu), cuja importância reside, em grande parte, nas fórmulas fecundas por ele encontradas em domínios onde as pesquisas dos colegas franceses ficaram estéreis. Pretende-se, também, apreender a especificidade da poética que subjaz à sua obra, contribuindo igualmente deste modo para o conhecimento e divulgação do simbolismo belga de expressão francesa, tão pouco conhecido e estudado entre nós, entre os franceses e essencialmente, entre os belgas

Full textAbstract:
The stories inscribed in the Gothic period have become a source for readers to have access to mysterious events and eerie circumstances that, through an intimate view into the relationship between the living and the dead/undead, reveal a deeper meaning of personal, social and cultural concerns. In the stories “Ligeia” (1838) and “Berenice” (1835), Edgar Allan Poe describes the agonizing death of young beautiful females, which stirs a morbid and romantic interest in readers. In these stories, the lover is an observer of the beloved’s death who becomes aware of the presence of death in life. The woman who agonizes and dies turns into a disturbing force which threatens the man’s understanding of life and death.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation describes the genesis of the idea of femicide in a period of English and
American Letters, the last decade of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth
century, in which patriarchal values and constructions were entering a crisis which resulted in the
revision of the idea of gender—in a way, that was the period in which the concept of gender was
coded. In the first chapter, I look at the way the term femicide was first given currency in the
English language in 1827 through Robert Macnish’s The Confessions of an Unexecuted Femicide, a
fiction disguised as a true story, and how it spawned a short-lived literary sub-genre. In the second
chapter, I examine Poe’s reworking of the femicide story, and to the ways in which he has drawn
attention to its Gothic roots. Finally, in the third chapter, I offer a reading of Memoirs of the Author
of ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Woman,’ in which I argue that Godwin’s “sentimentalised” portrait
of Mary Wollstonecraft, and by extension of the female intellectual, constitutes an implicit
refutation of her ideas, and therefore can be profitably compared to the portraits Poe’s femicide
narrators make of Morella and Ligeia in the tales named after them.Esta dissertação descreve a génese da ideia de femicídio durante um período nas letras Anglo-saxónicas, entre a última década do séc. XVIII e meados do século seguinte, em que os valores e elaborações ideológicas patriarcais entravam numa crise que conduziria a uma revisão da ideia de género (de certo modo, poder-se-ia mesmo dizer que é nesse período que o conceito de género começa a ser codificado). No primeiro capítulo, descrevo como o termo femicídio ganhou pela primeira vez projecção na língua inglesa depois da publicação, em 1827, de The Confessions of an Unexecuted Femicide de Robert Macnish, uma ficção apresentada ostensivamente como relato verídico que deu origem a um efémero sub-género de ficção, a que chamo “história de femicídio.” No segundo capítulo examino a reinterpretação da história de femicídio por Edgar Allan Poe, e sobre o modo como este autor pôs em evidência as suas raízes góticas. Finalmente, no terceiro capítulo, apresento uma leitura de Memoirs of the Author of ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Woman’ em que argumento que o retrato “sentimentalizado” que Godwin aí faz de Mary Wollstonecraft, e por extensão da mulher intelectual, porquanto constitui uma refutação implícita das ideias dessa autora, ganha em ser comparado com os retratos que os narradores femicídas de Poe fazem das suas esposas em “Morella” e “Ligeia.”

Tese de mestrado, Teoria da Literatura, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Letras, 2012Esta tese consiste na análise de alguns contos de Edgar Allan Poe. Nela tento mostrar que os acontecimentos sobrenaturais estão subordinados aos interesses particulares dos narradores culpados de Poe e que, por essa razão, não merecem que o leitor lhes dê crédito. O centro do argumento é uma leitura literal de “Ligeia”. Analiso também o modo como a analogia entre quarto e mente determina a decoração de interiores nesse e noutros contos do autor. O objectivo é descrever as constantes temáticas que dão uma coerência interna à obra ficcional de Poe nas suas várias modalidades.
