Alvarez, Heidi Lee. "Regional aspects of Miami crime fiction." FIU Digital Commons, 1999. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/1263.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that forces of literary regionalism and postmodern culture are behind the explosion of crime fiction being written in and about South Florida by a growing number of resident authors.
Research included four methods of investigation: 1. A critical reading of many of the novels that make up the sub-genre. 2. A study of the theories of regionalism, postmodernism and the genre of the crime fiction. 3. Interviews with a number of the authors and a prominent Miami book seller. 4. Sociological studies of Miami in terms of historical events and their cultural significance.
Today's South Florida crime fiction authors cast their narratives in the old genre of the detective novel where characters are delineated according to traditional definitions of good and evil. Evil characters threaten established order. What makes South Florida crime fiction different from traditional detective fiction is its interest in the exotic, postmodern culture and setting of South Florida. Like the region, the villains are exotic and the order that they threaten is postmodern. There is less of an interest in attributing a larger social meaning to the heroes. Rather, there is an ontological interest in the playing out of good against evil in an almost mythical setting that magnifies economic, environmental and racial issues. There is a unique cultural diversity of the city due to the geographical location of Miami in relationship to Latin America and the Caribbean, and the political forces at work in the region. South Florida's subtropical climate, fragile ecosystem, and elements of frontier life in a cosmopolitan city work to support Miami crime fiction. The setting personifies the unpredictability and pastiche of a postmodern world and may call for a new definition for literature that relies on non-traditional regional characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
O tema da presente dissertação consiste na investigação acerca da contribuição do Grupo Matrícula para a consolidação de um sistema literário regional na Serra Gaúcha. Ao compreender a literatura como um sistema particular, serão analisados elementos de produção, publicação e circulação em relação ao Grupo. Sob esse viés, fazem parte do sistema escritores, leitores e obras, e também editoras, universidades, livrarias, bibliotecas, análises críticas e outros. Será ainda observado o ambiente literário em que surge a antologia, assim como o ambiente que emerge após a sua publicação. À luz da sociologia da literatura, parte-se da totalidade de um sistema literário e, gradativamente, reduz-se ao sistema literário regional da Serra Gaúcha, para, finalmente, verificar o papel do Grupo Matrícula na consolidação desse sistema. Para tanto, servirão como aporte teórico os estudos sobre região cultural, regionalidades, literatura regional e sistemas literários. Os fatores sociais e culturais específicos de uma região, que agem sobre a produção e recepção da literatura, as instituições que constituem uma paisagem literária regional, assim como as condições de leitura e público literário são elementos investigativos da pesquisa em questão que contribuem para que se compreenda a vida literária na Serra Gaúcha, entre os anos de 1950 e 1980.<br>Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2014-12-04T18:02:22Z

Dissertacao Aline Brustulin Cecchin.pdf: 3666954 bytes, checksum: ee39bd1860c65405bb91911eca676040 (MD5)<br>The topic studied in this master’s thesis is the investigation about the contribution of Grupo Matrícula to consolidate a regional literary system in Serra Gaúcha. Understanding the literature like a particular system, elements of production will be analyzed, as the publication, and diffusion in relation to the group. Writers, readers, books, publishing houses, universities, libraries, bookstores, and critical analysis are part of this system. The literary landscape, where the anthology arises, will be observed, and, also, the literary configuration after that. Based on the sociology of literature, this research is firstly developed considering a literary system in its totality, and, gradually, it reduces to the regional literary system in Serra Gaúcha, and, finally, it verifies the role of the Grupo Matrícula in the consolidation of a system. The studies about cultural region, regionalities, regional literature and literary systems will be used as theoretical basis. The social and cultural factors of a region that act on the production and reception of literature, the institutions that constitute a regional literary landscape, and, also, the conditions of reading and the literary public are investigating elements of this work. They contribute to understand the literary life in Serra Gaúcha, between 1950 and 1980.

Lo, Yun-Fang. "Translators' and target readers' reconstruction of regionalism in Taiwan's regional prose literature." Thesis, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10443/1457.
Full textAbstract:
The object of this research is to investigate the dynamic nature of identity construction of a regional place in English translations. The study focuses on the analysis of Wang Zhenhe’s works in translation. The Regional Prose Literature of Taiwan was developed when writers began to examine their identity and sense of belonging under Japanese colonization (1895-1945) and later the rule of the Nationalist government under Martial Law (1949-1987) by using narrative and descriptive prose as a vehicle for presenting the distinctiveness of the island. The dialects, the colonial language, local customs and scenes which regional writers created in their stories brought out what they saw as the uniqueness of Taiwan identity. However, Taiwan, like Hong Kong, has been categorized by many scholars as part of the Han-Chinese-influenced region, which shares the same cultural identity. Translating Taiwan, therefore, depends on how a translator understands and (re)constructs its cultural and political discourse in translation. This thesis uses a cognitive-pragmatic model (CPM) to describe how a translation of regional prose literature communicates to readers of the target culture. The CPM in translation studies looks at translation from the aspects of literary communication and the comprehension process. It enables the researcher (1) to study the textual signals of a place which readers used to construct the text of the source cultural world; (2) to examine how these signals were conveyed in the target text; (3) to study the likely effects on specific readers who have little or no knowledge of the source text culture. The major finding of this study is that communication through translated literature depends not only on the translator’s roles as a reader and a rewriter, but also on target readers’ processing effort and literary competence. Textual analysis shows that the translators’ decisions on conveying regional signals in translations often affect readers’ comprehension of the target text (TT). When the translation is too literal and the cultural signal is unfamiliar to the target readers, those who have little or no knowledge of Taiwan have more difficulties understanding the text. Reader response studies also show that the use of footnotes in the literary translation is not always unacceptable by the readers when specific regional elements are preserved in the TT. Target readers’ reception of cultural signals relies firstly on their existing knowledge and secondly on the information they receive from the translation. Effective communication therefore results from a translator’s assumption of target readers’ schemas and efforts in making the translation comprehensible and coherent, especially when there are regional elements in the translation.

Using an historical framework, this thesis establishes that there is, in fact, a canon of Siberian literature that stands apart from the Russian canon and that incorporates not only Russian texts but also other European and local indigenous ones.

Henningsgaard, Per Hansa. "Outside traditional book publishing centres : the production of a regional literature in Western Australia." University of Western Australia. English and Cultural Studies Discipline Group, 2008. http://theses.library.uwa.edu.au/adt-WU2008.0255.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a study of book publishing as it contributes to the production of a regional literature, using Western Australian publishing and literature as illustrative examples of this dynamic. 'Regional literature' is defined in this thesis as writing possessing cultural value that is specific to a region, although the writing may also have national and international value. An awareness of geographically and culturally diverse regions within the framework of the nation is shown to be derived from representations of these regions and their associated regional characteristics in the movies, television and books. In Australia, literature has been the primary site for expressions of regional difference. Therefore, this thesis analyses the impact of regionalism on the processes of book production and publication in Western Australias three major publishing houses a trade publishing house (Fremantle Press), an Indigenous publishing house (Magabala Books), and an academic publishing house (University of Western Australia Press). Book history, print culture studies and publishing studies, along with literary studies and cultural studies, roughly approximate a disciplinary map of the types of research that constitute this thesis. By examining regional literature in the context of its 'field of cultural production', this thesis maintains that regionalism and regional literature can avail themselves of a fresh perspective that shows them to be anything but marginal or exclusive. Regionalism has been a topic of peripheral interest, at least as far as scholarly research and academia are concerned, because those who are most likely to be affected by and thus interested in the topic, are also those who are most disempowered as a result of its attendant dynamics. However, as this thesis clearly demonstrates, access (or a lack thereof) to the field of cultural production (which in the case of print culture includes writers, literary agents, editors, publishers, government arts organisations, the media, schools, book clubs, and book retailers, just to name a few) plays a significant role in establishing and shaping an identity for marginalised 3 constituencies. The implications for this research are far-ranging, since both Western Australia and Australia can be understood as peripheries dominated in their different spheres (the 'national' and the 'international', respectively) by literary cultures residing elsewhere. Furthermore, there are parallels between this dynamic and the dynamic responsible for producing postcolonial literatures. The three publishing houses detailed in this thesis are disadvantaged by many of the factors associated with their distance from the traditional centres of book publishing, while at the same time producing a regional literature that serves as a platform from which the state broadcasts its distinctive contributions to the cultural landscape and to a wider understanding of concepts such as space, place and belonging. These publishing houses changed the way in which Australians and others have come to know and think about 'Australia', re-routing public consciousness and the national imagination.

Skinner, Jeremy. "The Binfords and Mort Publishing Company and the Development of Regional Literature in Oregon." PDXScholar, 2011. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/156.
Full textAbstract:
During the first half of the twentieth century there was a flourishing of publishers in the United States that specialized in books with content targeted for regional audiences. One of the largest regional publishers west of the Mississippi was the Binfords & Mort publishing company of Portland, Oregon. In 1930, Binfords & Mort began publishing works of fiction, history, poetry, children's literature, and natural history by Pacific Northwest authors with content focused on the Pacific Northwest. Between 1930 and 1984, when the Binford family sold the publishing company, Binfords & Mort published around one thousand titles, and became a one of the leading influences on the Oregon literary scene. Although Binfords & Mort did not publish books that received widespread critical praise from national literary critics, its books sold well to Oregon readers. This thesis examines the economic and cultural contexts for Binfords & Mort, and its larger cultural impacts. The thesis also challenges the standard claim that Oregon literature underwent a major shift toward modernism after the publication of H.L. Davis's and James Stevens's critique of Oregon writing, Status Rerum in 1927. Instead, the thesis proposes that by looking at the output of Oregon's most popular publisher, Binfords & Mort, one finds that an older style of writing focused on the pioneer period continued to be popular well into the twentieth century. These publications had a widespread impact on Oregon's cultural development.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the geographic complexity of English identity in the High Middle Ages by examining texts that reflect moments and spaces of cultural contact. While interaction with a cultural Other is often thought to reinforce national identity, I challenge this notion, positing instead that, in the texts analysed here, cultural meetings prompt the formation or consolidation of regional identities. These identities are often simultaneously local and cross-cultural, inclusive but based in community ties and a shared sense of place. Each of the four chapters examines a different kind of regional identity and its relation to Englishness through romances and historiographical texts in Anglo-Latin, Anglo-Norman, and Middle English. Discussion primarily focuses on the Gesta Herwardi, Gaimar's Estoire des Engleis, Fouke le Fitz Waryn, Gui de Warewic, Boeve de Haumtone, Le roman de toute chevalerie, and Richard Coer de Lyon. Each of these texts negotiates English identity in relation to a cultural Other, and balances various aspects of cultural identity and scales of geographic affiliation. While some focus exclusively on a particular locality, others create inclusive regional identities, draw together the foreign and the familiar, or depict England as a region on the edge of an interconnected world. These texts show that Englishness can carry different meanings, nuances, and identitary strategies that depend on context, location, or ideology. Together, they forge an image of England that is diverse and multinucleated. Its borders become spaces of meeting, connection, and cultural overlap, as well as division. These works establish a strong English identity while articulating England's necessary relationship with other places, spaces, and peoples, challenging not the borders of England, but the borders of Englishness.

McGovern, Jennifer Anne. "The Captive press: captivity narratives, print networks, and regional prospects, 1838-1895." Diss., University of Iowa, 2014. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6612.
Full textAbstract:
The Captive Press argues that nineteenth-century Indian captivity narratives escaped from the expectations of the American literary marketplace through manipulations of the material text. With modern methods of production, promotion, and dissemination, captivity narratives dominated the reading public even as Native peoples were forced to submit to governmental encroachments. This study focuses on narratives produced by and about Anglo-American women whose impoverished return from captivity motivated them to write for their livelihood. The narratives of Rachel Parker Plummer, Sarah Larimer, Fanny Kelly, and Abbie Gardner-Sharp were designed to appeal to local readers who were likely to become financial sponsors through direct marketing. Later editions added para-textual material, developed textual content, and introduced illustrations such as wood engravings or photographs to increase marketability for broader audiences. By publishing captivity narratives on state presses and distributing them through regional print networks, nineteenth-century producers maintained the homegrown flavor of the genre while expanding readership beyond local boundaries. This dissertation demonstrates how, with the assistance of editors, illustrators, and publishers, these entrepreneurial women reversed their subject position to hold the popular press captive.

Previous issue date: 2013<br>This study uses the seven novels, by the author Rachel de Queiroz (1910-2003): O Quinze (1930), João Miguel (1932), Caminhos de Pedra (1937), as Três Marias (1939), O Galo de Ouro (1950), Dôra, Doralina (1975), and Memorial de Maria Moura (1992) with the objective of identifying and describing the regional lexicon from the Brazilian Northeast, especially, from Ceará, the state where she was born. Such objective was justified by the author's own words who said, in several occasions, that her characters, although they are fictional, they are representative of the Northeast culture, and that they also refer to characteristics of the people from her social life. The investigation of Rachel de Queiroz's work, in a linguistic perspective, is quite relevant due to the fact that this author presents in her writing a set of works composed greatly of ordinary language from the Northeast. This language is presented through countless regionalisms, which encompass words and expressions and proverbs. All this richness in ways of speaking may be found, mainly, in her novels, since it was exactly, through this literary genre, that Rachel de Queiroz expressed the dramatic situation of men in the dry and poor lands of the Northeast. In the composition of a literary work, the lexicon assumes an important role in the sense of that it provides us with a monitoring process of advance and transformation of language integrated in the culture of a people. For that, this research will be conducted in the prospect of theoretical principles of Lexicology and Lexicography, based on Aragão (2006), Krieger et al (2006), Biderman (2001), Isquerdo (1998), and Barbosa (1991), in order to produce a glossary with lexical regional unities presented in Rachel de Queiroz's novels. We believe that this perspective of research is relevant to Linguistic studies, since it treats of a social and ethnolinguistic research, which investigates the linguistic variation in its social context, more particularly, concerning the linguistic process and the Northeastern regional culture, inserted in the glossary, as a way of giving contribution to some gaps in the area of Lexicology and Lexicography, specially, the regional one, and to Rachel de Queiroz's literary criticism.<br>Este trabalho utiliza os sete romances da escritora Rachel de Queiroz (1910-2003), O Quinze (1930), João Miguel (1932), Caminhos de Pedra (1937), as Três Marias (1939), O Galo de Ouro (1950), Dôra, Doralina (1975) e Memorial de Maria Moura (1992), e tem por objetivo identificar e descrever o léxico regional característico do Nordeste brasileiro, de modo especial, o do Ceará, terra natal da escritora. Tal objetivo é justificado a partir de diversas declarações da escritora, para quem seus personagens, embora fictícios, são representativos da cultura nordestina e também remetem a características de pessoas da sua convivência social. Estudar a obra de Rachel de Queiroz, numa perspectiva linguística, é bastante significativo, pelo fato de a escritora cearense apresentar, em sua escritura, um conjunto de obras construídas, sobremaneira, com a linguagem popular do Nordeste. Essa linguagem nos é apresentada através de inúmeros regionalismos, que vão desde vocábulos e expressões a provérbios. Toda essa riqueza dos modos de falar pode ser encontrada, principalmente, nos romances, pois foi exatamente nesse gênero literário que Rachel de Queiroz expressou o drama do homem das terras secas e pobres do Nordeste. Na composição de uma obra literária, o estudo do léxico assume um papel de suma importância no sentido de nos proporcionar um acompanhamento do processo de avanço e de transformação da língua integrada na cultura de um povo. Por isso, este estudo será desenvolvido à luz dos princípios teóricos da Lexicologia e da Lexicografia, que serão utilizados conforme Aragão (2006), Krieger et al (2006), Biderman (2001), Isquerdo (1998) e Barbosa (1991), para a elaboração de um glossário dos itens lexicais que constituem o regionalismo presente na obra romanesca de Rachel de Queiroz. Acreditamos que uma pesquisa, nestes moldes, está revestida de importância para os estudos linguísticos, por tratar-se de uma pesquisa sócio e etnolinguística, a qual investiga a variação da linguagem em seu contexto social, mais precisamente, no que diz respeito ao processo linguístico e à cultura regional nordestina, anotados no glossário a que nos propomos realizar, como forma de cooperar com algumas lacunas da Lexicologia e Lexicografia, mormente, a regional, para a fortuna crítica da obra de Rachel de Queiroz.

Full textAbstract:
Since its conception in folklore and superstition, the vampire has had an innate ability to reflect the environment of the culture that creates it. Each manifestation of this being is entirely unique to the culture in which it is born. The vampire of the American South is no exception to this idea. As a region with a particularly tumultuous history, the South has been molded by many cultural influences. Religion, sexuality, and race are some of the most notable factors to have impacted the area. Many Southern authors writing vampire fiction explore the fears, stereotypes, and prejudices of the culture with the vampire characters as a means to represent and critique Southern identity. Vampires in Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, Poppy Z. Brite’s Lost Souls, Scott Nicholson’s They Hunger, Alan Ball’s True Blood, and Patrick Lussier’s Dracula 2000 all reveal something about the culture of the South.

Full textAbstract:
Alguns elementos da realidade histórica e cultural, identificados em obras de ficção que tratam do Rio Grande do Sul, contribuíram e ainda contribuem para a construção de um imaginário social e de uma identidade regional, seja nas representações do ambiente em que se passa a narrativa ou na própria linguagem utilizada pelo escritor. Partindo do pressuposto de que as escolhas lexicais do escritor, em seu texto, são fatores relevantes para a configuração do contexto histórico de uma determinada época, este trabalho analisa as relações entre o léxico do romance A casa das sete mulheres (2002), de Leticia Wierzchowski, e a cultura regional gaúcha. Para atingir os objetivos, a presente dissertação desenvolve uma análise léxico-semântica da representação das características histórico-culturais e sociais do Rio Grande do Sul a partir da seleção de lexias, organizadas em campos lexicais conforme a teoria de Coseriu (1979). Utiliza-se como aporte teórico os Estudos lexicais, Lexicologia, Lexicografia e Terminologia, enfatizando o léxico relacionado a aspectos de cultura e regionalidade.<br>Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-11-03T13:16:52Z

Dissertacao Michele Marques Baptista.pdf: 246208 bytes, checksum: e3ccda1d95afef563893a6922c1ab239 (MD5)<br>Some elements of historical and cultural reality, identified in fiction about the State of Rio Grande do Sul, have contributed and still contribute to the construction of a social imaginary and of a regional identity, whether in representations of the environment in which the narrative takes place or in the language used by the writer. On the assumption that the writer’s lexical choices are relevant factors to setting the historical context of a given season, this paper aims to examine the relation between the lexicon of the novel called “The House of Seven Women”, by Leticia Wierzchowski (2002) and regional culture. To achieve these goals, this dissertation develops a lexical-semantic analysis of the representation of the historicalcultural and social characteristics of Rio Grande do Sul from the selection of lexias, organized into lexical fields according to Coseriu's theory (1979). As theoretical contribution it was used the lexical studies, Lexicology, Lexicography and Terminology, emphasizing the lexicon related to culture and regional aspects.

Full textAbstract:
Der norddeutsche Schriftsteller Timm Kröger ist in Haale (Kreis Rendsburg-Eckernförde) geboren, einem Dorf, das in nächster Nähe von Luhnstedt, dem Heimatdorf von F.E. Peters, liegt. Peters und Kröger sind sich nie persönlich begegnet, hatten aber gemeinsame Bekannte. „Timm Kröger – der Dichter unserer Heimat“ stammt aus dem Nachlass von F.E. Peters, der ein Bewunderer der Kunst Timm Krögers war und den „besonderen lyrischen Schimmer“ seiner Erzählkunst geliebt hat. Die Rede ist anlässlich des 110. Geburtstages von Timm Kröger entstanden. Peters nimmt das Jubiläum zum Anlass, anhand von Zitaten aus Krögers Vorwort zu einer Gesamtausgabe seiner Werke die Gattung Heimatdichtung kritisch zu beleuchten und zu unterscheiden zwischen einer ideologisch gefärbten schablonenhaften Heimatdichtung und einer Dichtung, welche die Landschaften der Heimat in den Mittelpunkt stellt, das Provinzielle jedoch überwindet: „Es sei zugegeben, dass von sogenannten Heimatdichtern viel plattes Zeug geliefert wird. Darum spreche ich heute von dem Dichter unserer Heimat, nicht von dem Heimatdichter Timm Kröger.“

Full textAbstract:
Esta Dissertação investiga o projeto literário e político de Mansueto Bernardi (1888-1966), através da interpretação e análise dos seus ensaios literários e historiográficos, discursos e poemas. O autor, apesar de ter editado uma única obra literária, Terra convalescente, teve intensa atuação cultural e política durante a primeira metade do século XX, criando e dirigindo periódicos da Livraria e Editora Globo, de Porto Alegre, atuando em funções administrativas dos governos estadual e federal, chegando, inclusive, a chefiar a Casa da Moeda, durante o governo de Getúlio Vargas. Desse modo, este estudo tenta mostrar que Bernardi procurou divulgar a cultura do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul e esforçou-se para difundir o catolicismo na sociedade brasileira, colocando, em virtude disso, a religião como linha norteadora de seu projeto literário e político. Trata-se, portanto, de uma discussão interdisciplinar que transita entre a Literatura, a História e a Sociologia, e se volta para a cultura regional.<br>Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-05T19:29:55Z

Having published only one literary work, the author had nevertheless intense cultural and political activity in the first half of twentieth century. Besides creating and supervising periodicals at Livraria e Editora Globo, in Porto Alegre, he served in both the federal and the Rio Grande do Sul state governments, having achieved the position of Chairman of the Brazilian Mint (Casa da Moeda) during President Getúlio Vargas administration. This study attemps to demonstrate that Bernardi tried to make the culture of Rio Grande do Sul known and made considerable efforts to divulge the creed of Catholicism in Brazilian society, therefore placing religion as a main source for his literary and political project. This Dissertation constitutes an interdisciplinary approach that reports the findings of research involving Literature, History and Sociology, while focusing regional culture.

Full textAbstract:
Este estudo tem como objetivo desenvolver um diálogo entre a literatura e a História a fim de evidenciar as suas contribuições para a formação da imagem do gaúcho herói. Para tal, selecionamos as obras literárias O Gaúcho, de José de Alencar e O Vaqueano, de Apolinário Porto Alegre, devido ao seu pioneirismo na formação da personagem gaúcho e por serem elas precursoras da literatura regionalista rio-grandense. As análises discorrem na fundamentação de que a ideologia dos autores está inserida em suas narrativas. Analisamos as obras dentro de seu contexto histórico-temporal e ideológico, e identificamos que as imagens construídas na narrativa servem na construção de significados para gaúcho e, assim, conduzem o texto para a contemplação de ideologias contidas em projetos previamente estipulados. Afirmamos que a figura do gaúcho sofreu modificações no decorrer do tempo para atender definições ideológicas da sociedade em que se inseriu. No século XX a história serviu a política na construção de uma identidade regional, corroborando com a construção antecipada pela literatura. Assim, nobilitou o gaúcho, construindo um herói que serviu de elo para a unificação cultural do estado, defendeu a ideologia da classe política, fortalecendo-a, e incutiu uma imagem idealizada do gaúcho no inconsciente coletivo do povo rio-grandense.<br>Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-21T18:16:13Z

For such, we have selected the literary compositions O Gaúcho, of José de Alencar and O Vaqueano, of Apolinário Porto Alegre, because their innovations in the formation of the gaucho s personage as well as they were precursors of the rio-grandense s regionalist literature.

We have analyzed the compositions into their context ideological and secular description, and we identified the images constructed in the narratives served in the meanings construction for the gaucho, and, by this way, they lead the text to the contemplation of ideologies contained in projects previously stipulated. We state the gaucho s figure suffered modifications during the time to attend ideological definitions of the society where it was inserted. In the XX century, the history served the politics for the construction of a regionalist identity, corroborating with the anticipated construction for literature. Thus, it put the gaucho in the center of attentions, constructing a hero who served of link for the cultural unification of the State, defended the ideology of the politics, reinforcing it, and infused a idealized image of the gaucho into the collective unconscious of the rio-grandense people.

Previous issue date: 2008-02-11<br>Graciliano Ramos, in his literary works, always did a search into human s soul , as Antonio Cândido said. Such searching is done through psychological and social views, with the support of the literary language. However, the language used by the northern writer is distinguished: he legitimates the northern language, showing to the reader what the peoples from this place could say, think and ponder in many situations. Among
Graciliano s literary works, we intend to tell about some analogous topics on the first four published books: Caetes (1933), Saint Bernard (1934), Anguish (1936) and Barren Lives
(1938) are books we can find literary connection between the author and the characters; the Graciliano s severe self-criticism; the analysis about humane and their social local;
the ideological conflict; and the language s power. However, the last subject is analyzed with emphasis on the two last books because, in our reading, the writer focuses the
combination between the language and human beings in their social place. In this way, we are going to try helping the studies about Graciliano s literary works for extending the
knowledge about northern literature in Brazil.<br>Graciliano Ramos, em suas obras literárias, sempre realizou uma pesquisa da alma humana , nos dizeres de Antonio Cândido. Tal pesquisa é realizada através das perspectivas psicológicas e sociais com o suporte da linguagem literária. Contudo, a linguagem usada pelo escritor alagoano se diferencia: ele legitima a linguagem nordestina, mostrando ao leitor o que o povo deste lugar poderia dizer, pensar e refletir
em diversas situações. Dentre a produção literária de Graciliano Ramos, procuramos abordar temas análogos nos quatro primeiros livros editados: em Caetés (1933), São
Bernardo (1934), Angústia (1936) e Vidas Secas (1938), podemos encontrar o parentesco estilístico entre o autor e suas personagens; a autocrítica severa da persona literária de Graciliano; a análise do homem em seu meio; os conflitos
ideológicos; e, o poder da linguagem nas sociedades gracilianas. O último tema, porém, é analisado com ênfase nas duas últimas obras por haver, em nossa leitura, uma maior
abordagem e focalização do autor em relação ao arranjo da linguagem e o meio social em que o homem se insere. Assim, procuraremos auxiliar na investigação dos estudos sobre as obras gracilianas, ampliando o conhecimento da literatura nordestina no Brasil.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis reexamines the beginnings of Swedish hardboiled crime literature, in part tracking its lineage to American culture and unpacking Swedish identity. Following the introduction, the second chapter asserts how this genre began as a form of escapism, specifically in Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö’s Roseanna. The third chapter compares predecessor Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep with Roseanna, and how Sweden’s greater gender tolerance significantly outshining America’s is reflected in literature. The fourth chapter examines how Henning Mankell’s novels fail to fully accept Sweden’s complicity in neo-Nazism as an active component of Swedish identity. The final chapter reveals Helene Tursten’s Detective Inspector Huss engaging with gender and racial relations in unique ways, while also releasing the suppressive qualities found in the Swedish identity post-war. Therefore, this thesis will better contextualize the onset of the genre, and how its lineage reflects the fruits and the damages alike in the Swedish identity.

Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Institutionen för Asien-, Mellanöstern- och Turkietstudier, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-184262.
Full textAbstract:
In the aftermath the 25th January Revolution of 2011, two Egyptian dystopian novels stand out as particularly relevant: Utopia (2008) by Ahmed Khaled Towfik, and The Queue (2013), by Basma Abdel Aziz. Due to the absence of studies that pay attention to how gender relations are portrayed in Arabic dystopian novels, this study focuses on the literary representation of men and masculinities in Utopia and The Queue. This thesis uses narratology and content analysis in order to show that, although patterns of local masculinities are different in both novels, regional and global models of masculinity clearly point out men as controlling, violent and hypersexual, which is supported by multiple institutions, such as the state, media, and the religious establishment. The inclusion of relevant ethnological studies of masculinities in Egypt confirms that the social criticism of the novels include gender relations, and refers to the time in which the novels were written. This study points out the need for recognizing Arabic dystopian fiction as a valuable instrument that carries meaningful and intricate social criticism, as well as the need for the inclusion of gender as a category of literary analysis.

Previous issue date: 2008-09-23<br>The present work makes some comments on the scattered productions of Gilberto Freyre and Lu?s da C?mara Cascudo, in the period which includes the early years of their intellectual performance, the second decade of the twentieth century. The corpus of the research is delimited on the texts published by Gilberto Freyre, from 1918 to 1926, which were gathered in the book Tempo de aprendiz (1979), and from the ones published by C?mara Cascudo in Natal local newpapers, such as A Imprensa and A Rep?blica, in 1924, 1927, 1928 and 1929. Concerning C?mara Cascudo s texts, the delimitations of these years is due to they had a relevant importance for the literary and cultural history of Rio Grande do Norte. The included discussions in these writers texts mainly happen around the modernist and regionalist ideas that happened restrictively in the Northeast region of Brazil, and are based on the relationships between literature and culture. Thus, the set of collaborations of both writers is useful as a sample of the intellectual thinking of the mentioned region. Besides, it is representative in the way the cultural debate got along in the country, which in turn, demanded the inclusion of the local realities in order to follow the renewing process of the worldwide thinking, and as matter of fact, arrange a new process in the Brazilian literary tradition. In this way, the study goals to set the positions taken by the two writers faced to the new challenges that the Brazilian reality of that moment was imposed on. The theoretical basis of this work is focused on the accumulated studies about the Brazilians modernism, regionalism and literature, pointing out the Candido s texts, (2006, 2004, 2002, 1995, 1993 and 1989), Schwarz s (1999, 1997a and 1997b), Perrone- Moys?s s (2007), Pallares-Burque s (2005), Azevedo s(1996), D Andrea s (1992), Ara?jo s (2006, 1998, 1997 and 1995), among other authors. Therefore, It is relevant the participation of both writers in that moment which highlights the renewing of the national thinking and the formation of the Brazilian cultural modernity, even the positions taken by them reveal, at times, different views concerning literature and tradition without being disagreeing, however<br>Este trabalho faz uma leitura da produ??o esparsa de Gilberto Freyre e Lu?s da C?mara Cascudo, no per?odo que compreende os anos iniciais da atua??o intelectual dos dois escritores, a segunda d?cada do s?culo XX.

Previous issue date: 2018-03-06<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>The present research aims to analyze how literature and memory can be related. In addition to other objectives such as: to understand the role of the State in the construction of the memory of the West of Paraná, mainly in Foz do Iguaçu and as the migratory phenomenon, before the construction of the great architectural works - Ponte da Amizade and Itaipu Binacional, for example - affected the process of formation and sedimentation of memories. For these objectives to be achieved, one voice was especially significant: The voice of José Alexandre de Oliveira, or Tio Bahia. The methodology used was based on the qualitative method. Firstly, bibliographical research was carried out in order to know the memory of Foz do Iguaçu, as its main source the book written and edited by the municipal administration of 1997: Foz do Iguaçu: retratos, besides the contributions of Luiz Eduardo Pena Catta (2003 and 2009) and Maria Aparecida Bento Ribeiro (2002). In a second moment, field research was used, specifically the interview. The scripts elaboration and analysis were anchored in the oral history method. The first chapter revisits the memory of Foz do Iguaçu bringing with it the memories of former residents of the city and reaffirming the official reports about the constitution of the municipality. For the second chapter, the influence of the State manifests itself through the construction of Itaipu monument, whose work established a landmark in the memory of city, since the pre-1970s interior scenario suffered intense structural and population changes, in which the phenomenon impacted directly on social life. Tio Bahia, one of these thousands of migrants narrated his history and some of the work in the Itaipu. The 80-year-old lord became the voice of marginalized writers and to interpret this senile voice the work Memória e Sociedade: lembranças de velhos by Ecléa Bosi (1994) was paramount. In the third chapter, through the produced literature, Tio Bahia presents his memories - of migrant and dam worker - reinvented in the form of poetry, in which it was tried to evidence that the literature can be a strong ally of the memory to vivify the memories of those who are at the margin of society. The link between marginal literature, migration and senile memory presents itself as a possibility for understanding what is valued as memory and history of Foz do Iguaçu.<br>A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo geral analisar de que modo a literatura e a memória podem estar relacionadas. Somam-se a esse outros objetivos como: perceber qual é o papel do Estado na construção da memória do Oeste Paranaense, principalmente, no município de Foz do Iguaçu e como o fenômeno migratório, diante da construção das grandes obras arquitetônicas – Ponte da Amizade e Itaipu Binacional, por exemplo – afetou o processo de formação e sedimentação de memórias. Para que esses objetivos fossem alcançados, uma a voz foi especialmente significativa: a de José Alexandre de Oliveira, ou Tio Bahia. A metodologia empregada foi embasado no método qualitativo. Primeiramente, foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográficas a fim de conhecer a memória de Foz do Iguaçu tendo como principal fonte o livro escrito e editado pela administração municipal de 1997: Foz do Iguaçu: retratos, além das contribuições de Luiz Eduardo Pena Catta (2003 e 2009) e Maria Aparecida Bento Ribeiro (2002). Em um segundo momento, foi utilizada a pesquisa de campo, especificamente, a entrevista. A elaboração dos roteiros e análise foram ancorados no método da história oral. O primeiro capítulo revisita a memória de Foz do Iguaçu trazendo consigo as lembranças de antigos moradores da cidade e reafirmando os relatos oficializados acerca da constituição do município. Para o segundo capítulo, a influência do Estado manifesta-se através da construção do monumento Itaipu, cuja obra estabeleceu um marco na memória de Foz do Iguaçu, pois o cenário interiorano anterior à década de 1970 sofreu intensas modificações estruturais e populacionais, no qual o fenômeno migratório impactou diretamente na vida social. Tio Bahia, um desses milhares de migrantes narrou a sua história e um pouco do trabalho na Usina Hidrelétrica de Itaipu. O senhor de 80 anos tornou-se a voz dos escritores marginalizados, e para interpretar essa voz senil a obra Memória e Sociedade: lembranças de velhos, de Ecléa Bosi (1994) foi primordial. No terceiro capítulo, por meio da literatura produzida, Tio Bahia apresenta suas memórias – de migrante e barrageiro – reinventadas em forma de poesia, no qual buscou-se evidenciar que a literatura pode ser uma forte aliada da memória para vivificar as lembranças daqueles que estão à margem da sociedade. O elo entre a literatura marginal, a migração e a memória senil apresenta-se como uma possibilidade de compreensão do que é valorizado enquanto memória e história de Foz do Iguaçu.

Full textAbstract:
In Overcoming the Regional Burden: History, Tradition, and Myth in the Novels of Cormac McCarthy, I contend that McCarthy's literary aesthetic develops and changes as he moves from Tennessee to Texas. McCarthy's conspicuous Southern and Southwestern regional affiliations have led critics to expect his works to recapitulate native history, traditions, and myths. Yet, McCarthy transcends provincial regionalism by challenging the creation of the regional and national myths we confuse with our actual histories and identities. McCarthy's fictions point away from accepted histories and point instead to figures marginalized by society and myth makers. These figures, according to McCarthy, are just as much a part of the creation of myth as those figures indelibly imprinted on our consciousness by
literary and historical tradition. My dissertation, in many respects, focuses on McCarthy's debunking of both literary and historical tradition, and his concomitant revitalization of American identity.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that Eleanor Dark’s mid-century writing is important for the study of Australian literature, global modernism and world literature. Focusing on the five novels that she wrote between the two world wars, Slow Dawning (1932), Prelude to Christopher (1934), Return to Coolami (1936), Sun Across the Sky (1937) and Waterway (1938), I show that Dark’s interwar fiction brings into the field of modernism studies a number of important engagements that modernism and modernity have traditionally been defined against, including colonialism, regionalism, nationalism, commercial culture, the middlebrow, and liberal humanism. Dark’s writing has the potential to defamiliarise our understandings of modernism and expand our conceptions of how modernity was experienced, translated and mediated in and across various locations in the mid-century period. Employing the middlebrow tactics of balancing and mediating, Dark’s work negotiates a ‘middle’ space between a number of seemingly-opposing aesthetic and ideological positions. Her interwar fiction combines elements of high modernism with popular cultural forms, particularly romance, in what can be described as a unique accommodation of ‘middlebrow modernism.’ Dark also balances cosmopolitan commitments with more place-based attachments to nation and local community, seeking to reconcile the two through a position of ‘regional cosmopolitanism.’ Her fiction brings together experimental modernist narrative techniques with liberal humanist ideas, and in doing so, points to an important and under-examined relationship between the two. In each of these cases, Dark’s ‘middle’ position has important implications for challenging binary approaches that have too often structured accounts of twentieth-century Australian literature, and of modernism/modernity more generally. Rather than an either/or approach to culture and aesthetics, her work suggests a relational and dialogic one, and calls for a similarly agile methodology that is capable of balancing a transnational paradigm with one that is sensitive to regional and national differences.

Full textAbstract:
More Than Heavy Rain brings together poems of intense observation culled from a life lived mostly outside. Set mostly around the poet’s home along the Watauga River in northeast Tennessee, the poems also reach out to such distant locations as Montana, Alaska, and post-war Germany. Some of them reconstruct the poet’s childhood in rural West Virginia. Some examine his family history, the events and relatives who helped determine the way he views the world.<br>https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1044/thumbnail.jpg

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar como a cultura do imigrante alemão é constituída em duas obras da literatura alemã atual que abordam a emigração do Hunsrück para o Rio Grande do Sul. Para isso, realizou-se, inicialmente, uma breve revisão dos contextos históricos alemão e brasileiro na primeira metade do século XIX. Em seguida, foi apresentado o processo de migração, a partir de cinco locais que representam esse movimento, desde a saída de sua terra até a chegada ao novo lugar. Além disso, sob o olhar pós-colonial presente na teoria literária atual, procurou-se destacar os conceitos de hibridização e de Terceiro Espaço relacionados ao contato de culturas e ao surgimento, a partir de então, de uma cultura híbrida. Posteriormente, após a apresentação das obras Menschen im Aufbruch (1998) e Das Mädchen am Rio Paraíso (2010), selecionadas como corpus da pesquisa, foram identificados os elementos principais que caracterizam os cinco locais do romance de migração e os elementos que estão relacionados ao contato entre as culturas brasileira e alemã e, principalmente, que indicam como é construída a cultura do imigrante alemão na Colônia de São Leopoldo. Por fim, a partir dos dados encontrados, foi realizada uma análise relacionando os elementos de ambas as obras que se aproximavam ou que divergiam. Desse modo, a partir dessa análise, verificou-se que, em ambas as obras, podem ser encontrados os cinco locais que constituem o movimento de migração, havendo, inclusive, aspectos semelhantes entre os romances. Com base na teoria pós-colonial, também se identificou, como ocorreu nas obras literárias o contato entre as culturas brasileira e alemã e, a partir das relações entre elas, como foi construída a cultura híbrida do colono alemão nos romances.<br>This thesis aims at analyzing how the German immigrant culture is made based on two books of current German Literature which approach Hunsrück emigration to Rio Grande do Sul. In order to make it possible, a brief revision of both German and Brazilian historical context was made related to the first half of the nineteenth century. Afterwards, the process of immigration was introduced from five places which represent this movement, from the moment of leaving the land to the arrival at the new place. Besides, based on a post-colonial perspective present in current literary theory, the research focused on highlighting the concepts of hybridization and Third Space related to culture contact and to the ensuing beginning of a hybrid culture. Then, after the presentation of the books Menschen im Aufbruch (1998) and Das Mädchen am Rio Paraíso (2010), selected as research corpus, the main elements which characterize the five places of the Romance of Migration and the elements which are connected to the German and Brazilian culture were identified. As a result, they indicate how the culture of the German immigrant is built at São Leopoldo Colony. Finally, based on the data found, an analysis of convergent and divergent elements in both novels was made. Therefore, from this analysis, it was observed that the five places which constitute the migration movement were found in both books. There are even similar aspects in the novels. The post-colonial theory helped highlight the contact between Brazilian and German cultures as presented in the literary books and, from these connections, how the hybrid culture of the German settler is built in the novels.

Previous issue date: 2014-10-21<br>CAPES<br>Nesse trabalho acadêmico, investiga-se o processo de construção do espaço
regional nas obras de D. Aquino Corrêa, Silva Freire e Gabriel de Mattos. Cada
autor, representativo e atuante em sua geração, configura uma linguagem artística,
que recria mitos, através de imagens arquetípicas, em que o espaço é reconstituído
poeticamente, consolidando traços peculiares de Mato Grosso. Desde o surgimento
da concepção regionalista no início do século XX, com D. Francisco de Aquino
Corrêa, observa-se uma preocupação com a identidade local, entrelaçando na obra
literária um conjunto de elementos importantes, tais como: a natureza, os
conquistadores, a cidade, a culinária, o povo, a linguagem, a cultura etc., enfim, toda
a realidade circundante que povoa o imaginário da arte. São esses elementos,
traduzidos simbolicamente, que demonstram a cosmovisão do artista, refletindo a
gama de imagens que interpretam e estruturam o espaço, de modo a dar ênfase na
relação do homem com o seu “mundo”, tanto na poesia quanto na prosa. Nestas
duas possibilidades de criação, utiliza-se a teoria do imaginário de Gilbert Durand,
com base no conceito da mitocrítica, para a compreensão dos mitemas que abarcam
e reconhecem as particularidades de cada obra, bem como as similitudes entre o
pensamento dos autores e o processo pelo qual se torna recorrente a vivência no
espaço cosmicizado, que, na poesia do século XX, mais precisamente até as
décadas de 50, é imagem do paraíso ou da “Grande Mãe”; e, na escrita do século
XXI, torna-se o local ritualístico onde ocorre a transformação do ser, possibilitando
uma aura mítica do conhecimento histórico, do cotidiano vivido e da relação entre
homem e espaço.<br>In this academic work, the process of building the regional space in of D. Aquino
Corrêa Silva Freire and Gabriel de Mattos works is investigated.
Each author is representative and active in his generation, and designs an artistic
language that recreates myths using archetypal images, in which space is poetically
reconstituted, consolidating Mato Grosso's peculiar traces. Since the rise of
regionalist conception in the early twentieth century, with Don Francisco de Aquino
Corrêa, some concern with local identity is noticed, intertwining in the literary work a
number of important elements such as: the nature, conquerors, the city, food, people,
language, culture etc., in short, all the surrounding reality that populate the art
imaginary . These elements, symbolically translated, that demonstrate the artist's
worldview, reflecting the range of images that interpret and build the space, to
emphasize the man's relationship with his "world", both in poetry and in prose. In
these two possibilities of creation, we use the imaginary Gilbert Durand theory,
based on the concept of myth analisys, for understanding the mythèmes that cover
and recognize the particularities of each work, as well as the similarities between the
thinking of the authors and process by which becomes a recurring experience in
cosmicized space, which, in the twentieth century poetry, more specifically until the
50s, is the image of the paradise or the "Great Mother"; and, in the twenty-first
century writing, becomes the place where the ritual transformation of being occurs,
allowing a mythical aura of historical knowledge, of everyday living and the
relationship between man and space.

Full textAbstract:
Ångest och rädsla beskrivs som vanligt förekommande känslor inför operativa ingrepp. Musik kan i många situationer avleda människors uppmärksamhet från negativa faktorer samt minska oro och stress. Regional anestesi är en vanlig operationsmetod som har mindre hemodynamisk påverkan på patienter. Anestesisjuksköterskan har en betydelsefull profession i teamet och skall få patienten att känna sig trygg och när patienter skall genomgå en anestesi har anestesisjuksköterskan ett stort ansvar. Musik är kostnadseffektivt och har lugnande effekter på patienter inför en anestesi. Ny och ökad kunskap behövs för att minimera risken för ångest samt öka patienters välbefinnande. Syftet var att utforska musikens påverkan på patienter som genomgår en regional anestesi. Metoden som användes var en systematisk litteraturstudie. Elva stycken artiklar inkluderades i resultatet, en kvalitativ artikel och tio stycken kvantitativa. Dataanalys genomfördes och resulterade i huvudkategorier och subteman. Resultatet infattar två huvudkategorier: Musikens psykologiska påverkan på patienten och Musikens fysiologiska påverkan på patienten samt fem subteman: ångest, välbefinnande, vitala parametrar, kemiska parametrar samt smärta. Patienterna upplevde mindre ångest och ökat välbefinnande inför ingreppet när de lyssnade på musik. Vitalparametrar såsom blodtryck, hjärtfrekvens och andningsfrekvens blev lägre i musikgrupperna. Musik hade även en positiv effekt på smärta, blodsocker och kortisol. En del av studierna påvisade ingen signifikant skillnad på kategorierna. I diskussionsdelen diskuterades studiens valda metod med för- och nackdelar samt studiens resultat där bland annat skillnader och likheter jämfördes. Bli erbjuden musiklyssning under sin regionala anestesi kan ha både positiv och negativ påverkan på patienter.<br>Anxiety and fear are described as commonly occurring feelings before surgical procedures. In many situations, music can divert people’s attention from negative factors including worries and stress. Regional anesthesia is a common surgical method with less hemodynamic effect on the patient. The nurse anesthetist has a significant profession within the team and will make the patient feel safe and the nurse anesthetist has a great responsibility when the patient is to undergo anesthesia. Music is cost-effective and has soothing effect on the patient before anesthesia. New and increased knowledge is needed to minimize the risk of anxiety but also to increase the patient’s well-being. The purpose was to examine music’s impact on patients who are undergoing regional anesthesia. The method used was a systematic literature study. Eleven articles were included in the result, one qualitative and ten quantitative. Data analysis was performed and resulted in main categories and sub-teams. The result includes two main categories: the music´s psychological effect on the patient and the music’s physiological effect on the patient as well as five sub-teams: anxiety, well-being, vital parameters, chemical parameters and pain. The patients experienced less anxiety and increased well-being before the procedure when they were listening to music. Vital parameters like blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate became lower in the music groups. Music also had a positive effect on pain, blood sugar and cortisol. Some of the studies showed no significant difference between the categories. In the discussion part, the study’s selected method’s pros and cons, as well as the study’s result with a comparison of differences and similarities are discussed. Being offered to listen to music during a regional anesthesia can have both positive and negative effects on the patient.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To examine systematically the literature on the effect of geographical location variation on breast cancer stage at diagnosis, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
Methods. Eight electronic databases were searched using combination of key words. Of the 312 articles retrieved from the search, 36 studies from 12 countries were considered eligible for inclusion.
Results. This review identified 17 (47%) of 36 studies in which breast cancer patients residing in geographically remote/rural areas had more late-stage diagnosis than urban women. Ten (28%) studies reported higher proportions of women diagnosed with breast cancer resided in urban than rural counties. Nine (25%) studies reported no statistically significant association between place of residence and stage at diagnosis for breast cancer patients residing in rural and urban areas.
Conclusions. Cancer patients residing in rural and disadvantaged areas were more likely to be diagnosed with distant breast metastasis. Efforts to reduce these inequalities and subsequent mortality are needed.

Full textAbstract:
Revelations: Poems, Appalachian poet Ted Olson’s second full-length poetry collection, contains eleven chapters of seven poems per chapter. Plying various forms and exhibiting a strong sense of musicality, these poems explore such themes as childhood, family, memory, love, nature, ritual, and visions both literal and spiritual. Olson’s poems provide surprising snapshots of a shared world that is all-too-often ignored or unexplored. In the words of literary critic James Owens, “We need Ted Olson. In his truest voice, he is a visionary poet, restlessly prying at the dim everyday with the shiny edge of intelligent illumination. His poems locate the connections and epiphanies, right there where they have always been, unseen until now and waiting for the right eye to find them, the right tongue to give them clarity and form.”<br>https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1034/thumbnail.jpg
