Full textAbstract:
Women are paid less than men in comparable occupations when human capital factors are controlled for. This gender pay gap is particularly prominent in upper management where on average female leaders are allocated 30 per cent less pay than male leaders. This thesis examines the underlying causes and the consequences of the gender pay gap in managerial positions by considering the organisational context (i.e., company performance) and social context (i.e., women’s experiences in the workplace) in which these differences emerge. First, three studies identify and examine gender disparities in the way in which performance-based pay is allocated as a function of company performance. Second, a survey study takes the perspective of leaders themselves by considering gender differences in pay-related attitudes and their relationship to distinct gendered experiences in the workplace. An archival study (Study 1, N = 192), an experiment (Study 2, N = 201), and a survey (Study 3, N = 180) investigated the role of gender in the relationship between managerial bonuses and company performance. In studies 1 and 3 the bonuses awarded to men were larger than those allocated to women. Moreover, while the compensation of male leaders was sensitive to performance, such that they received greater bonuses the better their company performed, the bonuses awarded to female directors were not sensitive to performance across all three studies. The psychological processes related to this phenomenon were explored in Study 2. It was found that, for a male leader, increasing company performance simply led to larger performance-related bonuses. However, for a female leader, the allocation of a bonus was based on perceptions of her charisma and leadership ability rather than resulting directly from company performance. v Study 4 examines gender similarities and differences in attitudes towards pay and pay negotiations. In a sample of 180 employees with managerial responsibilities, no gender differences in attitudes about the importance of pay were found. However, while female participants felt less confident than men about asking for pay rises, this was, at least in part, explained by their negative workplace experiences, such as feeling to have to invest more time and effort in order to achieve a pay rise and fearing negative responses when making pay demands. The importance of integrating the organisational and social context in the analysis of the gender pay gap is discussed in light of the limitations of a primarily individualistic approach. The role of the organisational context in moderating the attributional dynamics surrounding pay and evaluation patterns is explained within the framework of literature on the romance of leadership and gender stereotypes. The social context is considered in terms of the role of societal beliefs which may influence women’s decisions to opt out of top managerial jobs and their lack of confidence with pay negotiations. Finally, these findings are used to critique the tendency to blame women themselves for gender disparities in pay and their under-representation in managerial jobs, and instead I argue that it is organisational indifference towards women that perpetuates the gender pay gap.

Alba, Cornelia Anca. "Leadership, emotions and school outcomes in Romania." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2010. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/37542/.
Full textAbstract:
Personal and collective emotions play an important role in our private and social lives. Educational research suggests that emotions are powerful motivational forces that can impact upon leadership practices as well as on teaching and learning at individual and classroom level. However, less is known about the role of emotional experiences and displays in relation to leadership practices and school outcomes at organisational level. In order to develop more substantial knowledge, this mixed method study aims to explore the relationship between leadership styles, emotions and school outcomes from an organisational perspective in several urban schools from Timisoara, Romania. A sample of 408 teaching and non-teaching staff from 18 schools took part in a survey and 14 participants from two selected case study schools took part in semi-structured interviews. A widely used model of leadership is proposed by Bass & Avolio (1994) who identify transformational, transactional and laissez-faire practices. In this study, the quantitative data analysis using the Multifactorial Leadership Questionnaire developed by Bass and Avolio (ibid) suggests that a hybrid leadership that combines transformational and transactional elements such as contingent reward, individual consideration and charismatic behaviours is positively associated with positive emotions such as joy, enthusiasm and hope and with better outcomes such as perceived school success. The survey findings identify more variation and subtlety of negative emotions compared to positive emotions and also examine the role of self-other rapport in experiencing and displaying emotion at work. Secondly, the qualitative data reveal various contextualized meanings of leadership, emotions and school success, provides an integrated perspective of findings and allows for comparison of the overall results with previously published literature. Furthermore, the thesis presents emergent theoretical models for the study of leadership, emotions and school development and performance. Finally, the implications of the overall findings for policy and practice are discussed by taking into consideration the Romanian cultural and educational context.

Full textAbstract:
Rethinking the possible borders of leadership, requires an investigative work which problematizes the principal assumptions upon which leadership discourse is built. From follower-centered approach, this research examines the relational factors that might accelerate the wheel of toxic behaviour in organizations, with a brief critique of the out- dated themes which continue to occupy fair amount of the discourse of leadership, this critique is based on problematizing the perspectives, commonly referred to, as The Romance of Leadership. after doing so, I try to create a counterweight body of work in which I disregard some of leaders domination by focusing on followers instead, consequently, I attempt to introduce possible breakthrough in term of language as an approach to replace old and depreciated terms, as well as, recommendations for countering the radical views toward followers. In addition, I did an empirical investigation to the abovementioned themes by conducting a study in my workplace in order to check the plausibility of the conceptualization I done before, through, and after the empirical phase of this thesis, finally, I presented some personal reflections in regard with the course of study and suggested some ideas concerning the methodology within which this research has functioned.

Full textAbstract:
Europe is taking on a new meaning to many people these days and is now referred to as the European Union. For those countries, which are not yet members, to join the European Union is a very important and defining decision. Romania is one of the “next to be” members. With Romania being the next inline to join the Union, large corporations and enterprises are turning to Romania for new opportunities. It might be interesting for Swedish or foreign companies to open a business or start investing in Romania. That step is a very important one because there is no specific literature, which can provide relevant information about the Romanian business market and management style. These potential investors or business executives have no idea about the project management procedures or the implementation of technical projects inside the Romanian economy.
To provide the answer to these questions more extensive and deeper studies will have to be done in the future. The purpose of this thesis is to become a reference in the future for those companies which are considering doing business in Romania. The goal of this research is to provide valuable and reliable answers concerning the attitude of Swedish and Romanian leaders in meetings with their employees. These attitudes build on the differences in culture and nationality. The leadership of companies in Romania and Sweden has very different meanings in those countries. In the beginning I will provide definitions to the terms that will use: attitude, culture, leadership and meeting. The respondents were chosen based on their previous leadership positions in the institution they used to work. This research will demonstrate the aspects that Swedish leaders have or do not have in common with their Romanian colleagues.

Variable plutôt ignorée au niveau de la littérature portant sur l’analyse du parti au gouvernement, les élites exécutives, leurs trajectoires politiques et leurs expériences de socialisation peuvent constituer une explication alternative pour l’articulation de l’activité des exécutifs. Par le biais d’une étude de cas, portant sur les élites politiques en Roumanie postcommuniste, la recherche procède à une interrogation concernant l’impact des acteurs individuels sur la formulation des politiques publiques et la coordination de l’activité gouvernementale. De la sorte, menée d’une manière constructiviste, la recherche suscite la délimitation d’une série de réponses à la question :Comment les trajectoires politiques des ministres et des secrétaires d’Etat influent-elles sur la prise de décision gouvernementale en Roumanie postcommuniste ?L’influence des élites gouvernementales est analysée sur deux grands axes de recherche :(1) une dimension qui vise les relations qui se forgent entre les acteurs au niveau organisationnel –institutionnel et (2) une dimension qui porte sur le contenu même des politiques entamées. D’une manière compréhensive, intégrant plusieurs approches centrées sur les élites, le cadre analytique imbrique les effets estimés au niveau du parti et les effets établis au niveau du fonctionnement des exécutifs.
Les conclusions de la thèse soulignent l’importance du profil des acteurs gouvernementaux dans la coordination de l’activité des exécutifs durant la période 1989-2007. L’expérience politique des acteurs, tout comme leur position dans le parti sont des facteurs essentiels dans la définition des degrés d’autonomie décisionnelle et des marges de liberté dont les gouvernants disposent dans la création des politiques. L’étude met en exergue le fait que cette caractéristique décrivant l'existence d'un impact direct des acteurs individuels sur le caractère collégial, consensuel ou conflictuel de l’activité du cabinet, tout comme leur influence sur la réalisation du programme gouvernemental ne constituent pas une idiosyncrasie de la transition démocratique, mais un modèle de comportement consolidé dans le cas des exécutifs roumains.

This study aims to decipher the formal and thematic "mysteries" of five Brazilian narratives which deal with crime. Be ggining with the structure of trivial narratives ~ characteristic of the classical police stories ~, it is verified how the crimina l intrigue is presented in the five narratives. nesides deviating from the scheme, they question the involving criminal reality. It is, in my view, the "humanization" of a trivial theme because they elaborate on contradiction as its fundamental structure . This dialetic elaboration answers for the amplification of the criminal matter, permitting the approach of philosophycal, social, economic, mystic and moral themes. Under this scope, the five place themselves in opposition narra tives to the rheification and alienation imposed by the cultural industry.

Partindo da estrutura da narrativa trivial~ característica do romance policial clássico~, verificamos como a trama criminal se estabelece nas cinco narrativas. Constatamos que, além de não seguirem as regras próprias do gênero policial, elas se propõem como questionadoras da realidade criminosa que nos envolve . Trata-se, a nosso ver , da "humanização" trivializada , pelo fato de de uma temática elaborarem a contradição como sua estrutura fundamental . Esta elaboração dialética , e que responde pela ampliação da questão ~riminal, permitindo a abordagem de temas filosóficos, sociais, econômicos, místicos e morais, que dela decorrem naturalmente .

Full textAbstract:
The thesis considers the views and experiences of nurse leaders and policy-makers on the use of EU accession as a policy window to advance a professional agenda in Romania and Croatia. The research question and objectives are designed to identify the policy context prior EU accession, the processes and mechanisms employed to achieve compliance with Directive 2005/36/EC, the nursing policy agendas and achieved legislative and professional outcomes. They are analytically located within the process of Europeanisation, EU accession policy, leadership, engagement and advocacy literature. The comparative findings are interpreted within this theoretical framework. The study adopted a qualitative approach using an ethnographic multi-method design involving interviews and documentary analysis of key EU accession primary source reports. My own positional was written into the account in a reflexive manner. The findings indicate that the nursing leadership used EU accession as a policy window to advance a professional agenda but the extent to which this opportunity was exploited differed in the case studies. Findings indicate the importance of regime specific conditions creating a set of constraints which differed in both cases. The Croatian case shows what could have been achieved through the use of TAIEX capacity building engaging stakeholders in agenda-setting. The Romanian nurse leadership failed to take advantage of the policy window prior to EU accession but the continued advocacy hold the Romanian government post-EU accession to account for its policy decisions. Although the new generation of nurses in Romania and Croatia comply with Directive 2005/36/EC, the nursing workforce which graduated prior to EU accession does not benefit from mutual recognition. It is concluded that the EU mechanisms to process compliance – peer review and capacity building – are not robust enough to strengthen free movement based on mutual recognition. The research findings contribute towards our understanding of the role of nursing in policy-making and the dynamics that drive policies outcomes. The research adds new knowledge to our understanding of the researched area and helps to position nursing within a broader context of EU enlargement.

O trabalho Ditadura e romance: As vozes submersas de uma história sem fim traz uma análise dos romances A voz submersa, de Salim Miguel e El fin de la historia, de Liliana Heker, pautada na História Contemporânea de Brasil e Argentina e nas teorias de Mikhail Bakhtin. Cruzando a História de Brasil e Argentina, principalmente no que tange à última Ditadura Militar pela qual ambos passaram e, ao mesmo tempo, fazendo-a ponto de partida para a leitura dos romances, evidencia-se, nestes dois universos ficcionais, diversas vozes que, dialogando com o seu contexto, unem-se para mostrar um período contraditório, tenebroso e cruel. Nas duas obras percebem-se ideologias conflitantes, que representam uma nação fragmentada, individualizada, caótica, encoberta por uma máscara de ordem e união. Tal máscara é imposta, como se evidencia nos textos ficcionais trabalhados, através da violência e da força, empregadas pelos regimes militares ditatoriais, seguidores das regras da Doutrina de Segurança Nacional. Dessa forma, Salim Miguel e Liliana Heker ao utilizarem a ditadura como cenário e alvo de suas produções literárias, permitem entrever um emaranhado de vozes submersas em uma história que ainda não teve fim.

A presente dissertação pretende discutir sobre diferentes elementos presentes no romance policial, enfatizando a construção do personagem de ficção (detetive) e sua importância dentro da narrativa. Como cada ser na história é fruto de criação ficcional, seu impacto nos leitores, suas adaptações, reflexos sociais, tudo isso é, até certo ponto, interligado com seu processo de caracterização arquitetado no texto pelo autor, sendo um dos objetivos deste trabalho explorar como ele acontece. Com forte influência na diversidade de romances policiais estrangeiros, aqui o escopo foi estudar os brasileiros, enfatizando um autor que ganhou destaque e premiações, mostrando-se uma profícua fonte de estudo: Garcia-Roza e seu delegado Espinosa. Como proposta bibliográfica, buscou-se trabalhar com autores como Albuquerque (1979) e Benjamin (1994), que colaboraram para construir a história e as origens do romance policial, juntamente com Candido (2012), Lukács (2009) e Forster (1998), os quais auxiliaram para levantar os elementos de caracterização do personagem. Exemplo disso é a importância de tais elementos em relação ao enredo, história, trama, a presença do personagem complexo que cria um tipo de vínculo com o leitor, colocando, deste modo, uma crítica pertinente ao estudo para chegar a um resultado: a construção do personagem Espinosa e a importância do gênero policial e seu impacto social.
Abstract : This work aims to discuss about different elements shown in crime fiction, emphasizing the construction of fictional character (detective) and their importance for the narrative. As every being in the story is the result of a fictional creation, its impact on the readers, its adaptations, social reflexes, everything is, up to a point, linked to its characterization process built in the text by the author, being one of the goals of this work to explore how it works. With a strong influence on the diversity of foreign crime fiction novels, our goal was to study the Brazilian ones emphasizing an author who has been prominent and received several prizes, being a great source of studies: Garcia-Roza and his police chief Espinosa. As a bibliographical purpose we based our work on authors such Albuquerque (1979) and Benjamin (1994), who have contributed to build the history and the origins of crime fiction with Candido (2012), Lukács (2009) and Forster (1998), who have helped to carry out the elements of the characterization. One example is the importance of the elements related to the plot, the story, the presence of a complex character that creates a type of link with the reader, questioning the study and resulting: the construction of the character Espinosa and his importance to the crime fiction genre and its social impact.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that seventeenth-century English prose romances are motivated by anxieties over truth-telling and the ethical practice of deception. From the title of MacKenzie's 'Aretina: A Serious Romance' (1660), I take the collocation 'serious romance' to refer to the philosophically and politically engaged prose romances of the seventeenth century. Following Amelia Zurcher's work on the concept of 'interest' in 'serious romance', this thesis examines a separate but related aspect of the genre's moral philosophical engagement: its investigation of the ethics of dissimulation. By dissimulation, I mean the art of lying by concealment. Dissimulating techniques include controversial rhetorical tools such as equivocation and mental reservation, but dissimulation is also implicated in laudable virtues such as prudence and discretion. The thesis traces arguments about the ethical practice of dissimulation and other types of lie through English prose romances from Sidney's 'Arcadia' (1590) to Orrery's 'Parthenissa' (1651-69) to suggest that seventeenth-century romances increasingly espoused theories of 'honest dissimulation' and came to champion the theory of the 'right to lie'. The thesis examines a range of works which have hitherto received scant critical attention, notably Roger Boyle's 'Parthenissa' (1651-69), Percy Herbert's 'The Princess Cloria' (1652-61), the anonymous 'Theophania' (1655) and 'Eliana' (1661) and John Bulteel's 'Birinthea' (1664), alongside better studied romances such as Sidney's 'Arcadia' (1590), Wroth's 'Urania' (1621) and Barclay's 'Argenis' (1621). It situates readings of these original English romances within the context of the French romances of D'Urfé, Scudéry and La Calprenède, as well as within the context of contemporary moral philosophy.

Este trabalho consiste numa leitura analítico-interpretativa de Fronteira, primeiro romance de Cornelio Penna, publicado em 1935. O estudo orienta-se pelo pensamento de Antonio Candido sobre Literatura e Sociedade, refletindo sobre os vínculos estéticos e sociais da obra. Através dessa e teorias afins, verifica-se como se articulam na narrativa as relações ação/personagem, espaço/personagem, tempo/personagem, diário/romance. Busca-se comprovar a modernidade do romance dentro de um quadro social e literário agressivo, pela oposição ao intimismo de alguns autores, em momento chave de reformulações estéticas na década de 1930. Fundamentalmente, procura-se ver em que medida a História, como expressão de uma época, se universaliza no plano estético; e de que modo se configura em Fronteira uma trama enigmática e moderna feita de um mergulho em um Brasil arcaico. Observa-se assim a relação entre contexto histórico e ficção, nas diversas fronteiras entre realidade e irrealidade, sexualidade e religião, modernidade narrativa e atraso; tendo-se em vista, portanto, a consciência de um narrador moderno e a faixa de mistério que sobrepaira na mais prosaica rotina familiar, o que torna singulares os seres de Cornelio Penna.This work consists in a analytical interpreted reading from Fronteira, first novel by Cornelio Penna, published in 1935. The studying orients itself from Antonio Candidos thought about literature and society, thinking about the estetic and social entails from the workmanship. Through this and similar theories, it is possible to verify how the rolls : action / caracter, space / caracter / time / caracter, diary / novel articulate themselves in the narrative. The modernized novel is searched to prove in a social and agressive literary picture, by the opposition to the intimidating of cone writes, in they moment of reformulated esthetics in the decade in 1930. Fundamentally, looking for see in the extint the History, as expression of an epoch, universalizes itself in the esthetic plain ; and how to configure itself in Fronteira an enigmatical and modern plot made of an diving in an archaic Brazil. Then its possible to observe the roll between the historical context and ficcition, in the various fronteiras between real and unreal, sexual and religion, modernized narrative and lateness ; having in sight, in so far as, a modern narraters conscience and a stripe of mystery that hangs or hover over in the most prosaical and familiar routine, and that is what return singular Cornelio Pennas creatures.

Resumo: O trabalho que desenvolvo sugere que, no bojo do que a crítica e a história literária brasileiras chamam de romance de 30, irá surgir um tipo específico de narrativa que identifico como romance da urbanização. Este romance problematizaria em diferentes níveis de sua construção formal os impasses e as contradições da transição - sempre inconclusa - do Brasil agrário, rural, para um país em vias de urbanização e industrialização. Tempo, espaço, enredo e personagens vão rearranjar-se no sentido em que a coexistência e/ou a justaposição de duas formações sociais distintas, no plano da representação ficcional, irão solapar, num determinado grau, a estrutura do romance brasileiro real-naturalista. Trata-se, portanto, de um lado, de rediscutir a questão do romance enquanto gênero narrativo no contexto da história da literatura brasileira; de outro, paralelamente e por conseqüência, trata-se de analisar o romance da urbanização no contexto do Modernismo brasileiro e, no mesmo passo, reavaliar este período da nossa literatura à luz de certos pressupostos históricos e estéticos a partir da configuração do conceito de romance da urbanização. A meu ver, o romance da urbanização põe em suspensão uma das premissas básicas do Modernismo brasileiro em suas diferentes perspectivas, em particular, e da literatura brasileira, de um modo geral, desde o Romantismo, que é a formulação de projetos e/ou de sínteses fundadoras de identidades brasileiras, que têm nas noções de progresso e modernidade um dos seus elementos-chave. A "História inacabada" "o inacabado'" e o "inacabável" de nosso desenvolvimento histórico-social, para se usar as expressões de um sociólogo, vislumbrados na estruturação das obras que compõem o romance da urbanização, faz com que a História nacional deixe de ser vista como a "história da espera do progresso" elou como a formulação e concepção desse mesmo progresso e modernidade. Para tanto, detenho-me na análise de três textos: Os ratos (1935), de Dyonélio Machado; Angústia (1936), de Graciliano Ramos; e O amanuense Be/miro (1937), de Cyro dos Anjos. Mostro que a elaboração destes romances estiliza o impasse histórico, acima mencionado, que se formaliza com perspectivas, ainda que diferentes, complementares
Abstract: This work suggests that, within what the Brazilian criticism and literary history call nove I of the 30s', an specific type of narrative will appear, which I identify as the novel of urbanisation. In different levels of its formal construction, this novel would question the impasses and contradictions of the transition - always inconclusive - from agrarian Brazil to a country in process of urbanization and industrialization. Time, space, plot and characters will be arranged in the sense that, on the levei of the fictional representation, the coexistence and/or juxtaposition of those two distinct social formations will undermine, to certain degree, the structure of the real-naturalistic Brazilian novel. The aim then is, on the one hand, to discuss the novel as a narrative genre in the context of the Brazilian literary history and, on the other, to analise the novel of urbanisation-in context of Brazilian Modernism. Besides, this work evaluates this literary period in the light of certain historical and aesthetic presuppositions, generated from the configuration of novel of urbanisation concept. In my point of view, the novel of urbanisation questions one of the basic premises of Brazilian Modernism in its different perspectives, in particular, and of the Brazilian literature, in general, since Romanticism. This premise is the formulation of projects and/or founding syntheses of Brazilian identities, which have in progress and modernity one of its key-elements. The "unfinished History", "the unfinished" and "the unfinishable" of our historic-social development, to use the expressions of a sociologist, perceived in structure of the works of the novel of urbanisation, prevents the national History from being 191 seen as the "history of the expectation of progress" and/or as the formulation and conceptíon of this progress and modernity. In order to demonstrate that, I analise three novels: Os ratos (1935), by Dyonélio Machado: Angústia (1936), by Graciliano Ramos; and O amanuense Belmiro (1937), by Cyro dos Anjos. I show that their construction stylises thehistorical impasse, previously mentioned, which is built with complementary - even though different - perspectives

Este trabalho tem a irresponsável ambição de ser uma revisão da trajetória do romance em seus supostos quatro séculos de existência. Para tratar de dar conta de algo tão vago e tão vasto, define como seu objeto não o romance em si, mas a ideia abstrata de romance, tal como proposta por uma série de romancistas canônicos em ensaios, prefácios, cartas, biografias, testemunhos, entrevistas, e também em suas ficções. Propõe-se a ser ele próprio uma sequência de ensaios: sobre a duvidosa ascensão do gênero em um tempo exato e um espaço restrito; sobre um questionável apogeu de potencialidade infinita; sobre a tão alardeada crise do romance; sobre as marcas já perceptíveis de uma reascensão. Afirma-se então o arco narrativo que se quer negar: o objetivo do trabalho é tentar mover certas noções pré-fabricadas, revolver concepções decantadas, calcificadas em um sólido conjunto de convenções. O resultado não pode ser mais que um novo conjunto de convenções, composto, porém, por elementos bem mais maleáveis, por interrogações, incertezas, relativizações.This work has the irresponsible ambition to be a review of the novels trajectory in its supposed four centuries of existence. To try to apprehend something so vague and vast, it defines as its object not the novel itself, but the abstract idea of the novel, as proposed by a number of canonical novelists in their essays, prefaces, letters, biographies, testimonies, interviews, and also in their fictions. The work itself intends to be a sequence of essays: on the dubious rise of the genre in an exact time and a restricted space; on a questionable apogee of infinite potentiality; on the much-commented crisis of the novel; on the already perceptible marks of a reascendance. It affirms, then, the narrative arch that it would like to deny: the intention is to move certain prefabricated notions, to revolve decanted conceptions, calcified in a solid set of conventions. The result cannot be more than a new set of conventions, composed, however, by far more malleable elements speculations, interrogations, uncertainties.

The goal of this research has been to encircle the term literarture with a number of possible definitions. The idea was less to coin a new term than to apply in writing what I perceived to surface already in various texts cited in this research in order to produce the literartistic piece Site Specific, a Romance. Its production consisted of delving into pieces I believe to be examples of literarture, and from the cross-referential dialogue established between them within the textual tissue of Site Specific, a Romance, I trust to have insinuated a definition to the term. Site Specific, a Romance is a text that fuses art praxis and academic dissertation in one single body. Always suspicious that the act of defining is foreign to any practice in the field of art especially to an artist the will of defining literarture was nevertheless satisfied in producing a text where I could experiment with it: it is my belief that every work of art (re) defines in itself the genre(s) to which it belongs. As such, Site Specific, a Romance is my experimentation and the only possible means I have to express what I think to be, or feel to be, literarture.
O objetivo desta pesquisa de mestrado foi cercar de possíveis definições o termo ¿literartura¿ - um termo que, mais que querer cunhar, percebo na leitura de vários textos citados na pesquisa - e, a partir dele, produzir a obra literartística Site Specific, um Romance. Para isso, foram pesquisadas obras que creio serem exemplos de literartura e, através desses exemplos, penso ter se insinuado uma definição. Estas obras formam um diálogo entrecruzado no próprio tecido textual de Site Specific, um Romance, texto que funde obra prática e dissertação de mestrado num só corpo. Sempre desconfiando de que definir seja estranho a qualquer prática no campo da arte, sobretudo para um artista, esta vontade de definir o termo ¿literartura¿ me foi satisfeita ao produzir um texto onde pude experimentá-la: é minha crença de que cada obra (re) define em si o(s) gênero(s) a que pertence. Assim, Site Specific, um Romance é minha experimentação e meu único modo possível de expressar o que penso, e sinto, ser literartura.

Full textAbstract:
A first-person narrative adult novel explores the theme of abandonment with its residual and enduring effects, and its antithetical theme of loyalty that is continually tested and measured. The protagonist, editor of the local newspaper in a small, isolated agricultural community in the mid-1960s, provides the narrative nexus of two families. His is a community which is a mix of characters that are quirky by virtue of their natures or the remote circumstances of their existence. Both families in focus have treasure troves of secrets. Only after the appearance of a mysterious young woman and her subsequent murder do the tightly bound secrets of the families and the larger community begin to unravel. The narrator reveals his personal story as it relates to how he reacts and responds to the events at hand. Adding to his personal experience in the community, the narrator offers texture and enhancement to the story through archived newspaper articles and his interpretation of short silent movie reels chronicling the town's history from its earliest days until the end of World War II. Characters from within and without the community assume disguises to maintain their lifestyle or achieve a nefarious purpose while other characters hide behind the falsehoods of their comfortable, everyday lives. The one honest character becomes a victim of his own purity, despite attempts of the narrator to intervene. Not until forty years after the events that changed so many lives is it safe for the truth to bubble to the surface.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the prominence of romance and romantic love in the relationship cultures of a cohort of children aged between 10 and 12. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork that took place at three primary schools and one high school over the period of a year, it examines the various ways that the children invested in and understand romance and romantic love during the significant rite-of-passage of the transfer between primary and secondary educational phases. Using qualitative and ethnographic methods - including participant observation, group interviews, story and diary writing - rich forms of spoken, written and pictorial data were gathered. These are discussed and analysed with reference to sociological theories of sexuality, friendship and social solidarity. Although the research was situated in schools, it is important to highlight that this was a cultural, rather than an educational study. It shows that romance was a key part of the children's negotiations of their own and others identities and relationships, and that this was shaped in powerful ways by discourses of gender, sexuality and social class. Key points of discussion include: the development of the concept of Tietero-sociality' as a way of discussing how heterosexual practices shape children's everyday lives the differences between girls' and boys' articulations of and investments in romance how romance shapes friendship practices, particularly *best' friendships how understandings of and investments in romantic love are classed and gendered the importance of gendered sexuality during the transfer between primary and secondary schooling and in children's conceptions of the life-course and, the use of the adult researcher's 'ethnographic self as a tool for investigating the personal relationships, friendship cultures and solidarities of children and young people.

Este trabalho reúne esforços para analisar aspectos da teoria literária de Jean-Jacques Rousseau a partir do romance La Nouvelle Héloïse, considerando suas inovações estéticas em face do período de então (século XVIII) e a relevância explicativa da obra no seio do pensamento do autor. Aos propósitos do trabalho, é fundamental entender a escolha do gênero epistolar a fim de facilitar o estreitamento da narrativa com a experiência do leitor, o que se combina com a crítica da representação e com o ideal rousseauniano da transparência, perfazendo o formato do romance que Rousseau, após severas críticas à literatura, transige em considerar necessário por oferecer um exemplo de virtude no amor a uma sociedade degenerada pela corrupção dos costumes.This work combines forces to analyze aspects of Jean-Jacques Rousseaus Literary Theory at the novel La Nouvelle Héloïse in light of its aesthetic innovations towards that period (the 18th century) and the explicative relevance of the work to the core of the author\'s thoughts. With respect to the purpose of the work, it is important to understand the choice of the epistolary form in order to facilitate the alignment of the narrative with the experience of the reader, which is consonant with the critique of representation and with the Rousseaunian ideal of transparency, constituting the format of the novel that Rousseau, after severe criticisms of literature, came to consider necessary to offer an example of virtue through love to a society degenerated by the corruption of customs.

This thesis, a study of the evolution of the novel, reflects on the changes that literary narrative underwent over time, until it reached more evolved forms of writing. In traditional narrative the theme, space, time and characters were externally developed and the plot was linear. The models were pre-established, inspired by Walter Scott's narratives and by various historical novels which had been developing in Europe. But the different changes in the behavior of the post-Industrial Revolutionary urban man influenced the manner of writing novels. So, in order to show a little of the process of change in the way narratives were written, this study uses José de Alencar’s O Guarani and James F. Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans, both historical narratives which provide a little of the early demonstrations of the genre, in an artistic setting with idealized characters and linearity of events, where the narrator is omniscient. James Joyce’s Ulysses was also used to show some aspects of the evolution of novelistic narrative, in which the artist developed a story which completely abandons the moulds pre-defined by the early idealized, romantic phase. Written in the interwar period, Ulysses focuses on the strains and uncertainties of modern life. In the pages of his book, Joyce presents the daily life of the citizens of contemporary Dublin, breaks with linearity and uses innovative techniques to show that time is far more complex than one could imagine. Theorists of the novel, such as Rosenthal (1974), Rosenfeld (1969), Humphrey (1976), D'Onofrio (1982), served as a basis for this study.
Esta dissertação desenvolve um estudo sobre a evolução do romance, refletindo sobre as mudanças que se processaram na narrativa literária ao longo do tempo, até chegar a formas mais evoluídas de escrita. Nas narrativas tradicionais, a temática, o espaço, as personagens e o tempo eram desenvolvidos de forma exterior, e o enredo primava pela linearidade. Os modelos eram pré-estabelecidos, inspirados nas narrativas de Walter Scott e nos muitos romances de tendência histórica que vinham sendo desenvolvidos na Europa. Mas as diversas mudanças ocorridas no comportamento do homem citadino pós-Revolução Industrial influenciaram também a maneira de produzir romances. Desse modo, para mostrar um pouco dessa mudança na maneira de se construir narrativas, processada ao longo do tempo, foram utilizadas nesta dissertação as obras O Guarani, de José de Alencar, e O Último dos Moicanos, de James F. Cooper, que são narrativas históricas que trazem um pouco das primeiras manifestações desse gênero, em um cenário plástico, com personagens idealizadas e uma preocupação com a linearidade dos acontecimentos, e cujo narrador é onisciente. Foi usado também na pesquisa o livro Ulisses, de James Joyce, para mostrar alguns aspectos da evolução da narrativa romanesca, em que o artista conseguiu desenvolver uma história que foge completamente aos moldes pré-definidos pela primeira fase romântico-idealista. Produzida no período entreguerras, o livro Ulisses focaliza, em muitos momentos da narrativa, as mazelas e incertezas da vida moderna. Joyce representa nas páginas do seu livro o cotidiano do cidadão da Dublin contemporânea, rompe com a linearidade e utiliza técnicas inovadoras para mostrar que o tempo é muito mais complexo do que se imagina. Serviram de lastro para este estudo as reflexões dos teóricos do romance Rosenthal (1974), Rosenfeld (1969), Humphrey (1976), D’Onofrio (1982) entre outros.

O presente estudo cumpre o objetivo de mostrar como o romance brasileiro O Grande Mentecapto: relato das aventuras e desventuras de Viramundo e de suas inenarráveis peregrinações, de Fernando Sabino, publicado em 1979, é uma obra contemporânea que dialoga, ao mesmo tempo, com a tradição literária carnavalizada. Com base nas considerações de Michael Bakhtin sobre a carnavalização, é possível notar que o narrador de O Grande Mentecapto envolve o leitor em um jogo de máscaras, tornando o seu modo de narrar moderno e o seu texto ambivalente. Além disso, a polifonia e a intertextualidade, bem como os elementos da cultura popular brasileira, estão presentes nos discursos que integram o romance e ajudam a compor sua multiplicidade. O protagonista do romance, Geraldo Viramundo, revela-se também complexo e ambivalente, assumindo várias identidades e máscaras e trazendo o olhar liberto e renovador típico das obras carnavalizadas. Simultaneamente, por ser um personagem que oscila entre herói e anti-herói, louco e lúcido, sublime e grotesco, livre e preso, familiar e desconhecido, marginalizado e amigável, brasileiro e universal, ele representa, em um andamento tragicômico, grandes conflitos sociais e profundas crises humanas. Por fim, a trajetória de Viramundo é fragmentada e contém imprecisões temporal e espacial típicas das obras contemporâneas ao mesmo tempo em que a narrativa converge o tempo todo para o simbolismo da praça pública, caracterizador das obras carnavalizadas. O Grande Mentecapto também pode ser lido como uma alegoria de uma determinada estrutura social brasileira, por meio de relações instauradas entre a ficção e acontecimentos sócio-históricos ocorridos tanto no tempo da narrativa como na época de publicação do romance. Portanto, nota-se que o lugar de O Grande Mentecapto na produção literária brasileira é o de um romance que resgata elementos da tradição carnavalizada combinando-os com ...
This study fulfills the aim of showing how the Brazilian novel O Grande Mentecapto: relato das aventuras e desventuras de Viramundo e de suas inenarráveis peregrinações, by Fernando Sabino, published in 1979, is a contemporary work which converses at the same time,with the carnivalized literary tradition. Based on Michael Bakhtin's considerations about carnivalization, is possible to note that the narrator of O Grande Mentecapto involves the read in a game of masks, changing his way to narrate modern and his text in ambivalent. Furthermore, polyphony and intertextuality, as well as Brazilian popular culture's elements, are present in the speeches that integrate the novel and help composing its multiplicity. The novel’s protagonist, Geraldo Viramundo, proves to be complex and ambivalent, taking on various identities and masks and bringing a typical liberating and renovating view of carnivalized works. Simultaneously, being a character that oscillates between hero and antihero, crazy and lucid, sublime and grotesque, free and trapped, familiar and unknown, marginalized and well liked, Brazilian and universal, he represents the big social conflicts and the human crisis in a deep manner. Finally, the Viramundo's trajectory is fragmented and contains the typical temporal and spatial imprecision of contemporary works while the narrative converges all the time the symbolism of the public square, which characterize the carnivalized works. So, O Grande Mentecapto can also be read as an allegory of a determined Brazilian social structure, thorough relations done between fiction and social historical facts that occurred not only in the narrative time, but in the publication’s epoch of the novel. Therefore, we note that O Grande Mentecapto’s place in Brazilian literary production is a novel that rescues carnivalized tradition's elements combining them with contemporary literature's aspects

Goodison, Natalie Jayne. "Transformations in medieval English romance." Thesis, Durham University, 2017. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/12054/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the role of supernatural transformation in medieval English romance. It explores corporeal changes of humans transformed into animals, monstrous men, loathly ladies, as well as the transformative effects of death. However, transformations could also alter one’s identity and interior states of being. Transformation in these texts is revealed to affect the body as well as the spirit. This symbiotic relationship between outward body and interior spirit is first demonstrated between two separate persons, and progresses to become localized within the one body and the same soul. Illicit practices of magic as well as the supernatural, powers of the faery otherworld as well as divine might, initiate these transformations. While romance transformations occur through various sources, both licit and illicit, the authors and redactors of these romances consistently employ religious imagery or belief at moments of transformation. This engagement with religious precepts proves to be surprising and unorthodox. As such this thesis explores the relationship between religious belief and the politics of disenchantment.

Resumo: O presente estudo cumpre o objetivo de mostrar como o romance brasileiro O Grande Mentecapto: relato das aventuras e desventuras de Viramundo e de suas inenarráveis peregrinações, de Fernando Sabino, publicado em 1979, é uma obra contemporânea que dialoga, ao mesmo tempo, com a tradição literária carnavalizada. Com base nas considerações de Michael Bakhtin sobre a carnavalização, é possível notar que o narrador de O Grande Mentecapto envolve o leitor em um jogo de máscaras, tornando o seu modo de narrar moderno e o seu texto ambivalente. Além disso, a polifonia e a intertextualidade, bem como os elementos da cultura popular brasileira, estão presentes nos discursos que integram o romance e ajudam a compor sua multiplicidade. O protagonista do romance, Geraldo Viramundo, revela-se também complexo e ambivalente, assumindo várias identidades e máscaras e trazendo o olhar liberto e renovador típico das obras carnavalizadas. Simultaneamente, por ser um personagem que oscila entre herói e anti-herói, louco e lúcido, sublime e grotesco, livre e preso, familiar e desconhecido, marginalizado e amigável, brasileiro e universal, ele representa, em um andamento tragicômico, grandes conflitos sociais e profundas crises humanas. Por fim, a trajetória de Viramundo é fragmentada e contém imprecisões temporal e espacial típicas das obras contemporâneas ao mesmo tempo em que a narrativa converge o tempo todo para o simbolismo da praça pública, caracterizador das obras carnavalizadas. O Grande Mentecapto também pode ser lido como uma alegoria de uma determinada estrutura social brasileira, por meio de relações instauradas entre a ficção e acontecimentos sócio-históricos ocorridos tanto no tempo da narrativa como na época de publicação do romance. Portanto, nota-se que o lugar de O Grande Mentecapto na produção literária brasileira é o de um romance que resgata elementos da tradição carnavalizada combinando-os com ...
Abstract: This study fulfills the aim of showing how the Brazilian novel O Grande Mentecapto: relato das aventuras e desventuras de Viramundo e de suas inenarráveis peregrinações, by Fernando Sabino, published in 1979, is a contemporary work which converses at the same time,with the carnivalized literary tradition. Based on Michael Bakhtin's considerations about carnivalization, is possible to note that the narrator of O Grande Mentecapto involves the read in a game of masks, changing his way to narrate modern and his text in ambivalent. Furthermore, polyphony and intertextuality, as well as Brazilian popular culture's elements, are present in the speeches that integrate the novel and help composing its multiplicity. The novel's protagonist, Geraldo Viramundo, proves to be complex and ambivalent, taking on various identities and masks and bringing a typical liberating and renovating view of carnivalized works. Simultaneously, being a character that oscillates between hero and antihero, crazy and lucid, sublime and grotesque, free and trapped, familiar and unknown, marginalized and well liked, Brazilian and universal, he represents the big social conflicts and the human crisis in a deep manner. Finally, the Viramundo's trajectory is fragmented and contains the typical temporal and spatial imprecision of contemporary works while the narrative converges all the time the symbolism of the public square, which characterize the carnivalized works. So, O Grande Mentecapto can also be read as an allegory of a determined Brazilian social structure, thorough relations done between fiction and social historical facts that occurred not only in the narrative time, but in the publication's epoch of the novel. Therefore, we note that O Grande Mentecapto's place in Brazilian literary production is a novel that rescues carnivalized tradition's elements combining them with contemporary literature's aspects

Full textAbstract:
This thesis, ‘Fairy in Middle English romance', aims to contribute to the recent resurgence of interest in the literary medieval supernatural by studying the concept of ‘fairy' as it is presented in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Middle English romances. This thesis is particularly interested in how the use of ‘fairy' in Middle English romances serves as an arena in which to play out ‘thought-experiments' that test anxieties about faith, gender, power, and death. The first chapter considers the concept of fairy in its medieval Christian context by using the romance Melusine as a case study to examine fairies alongside medieval theological explorations of the nature of demons. The thesis then examines the power dynamic of fairy/human relationships and the extent to which having one partner be a fairy affects these explorations of medieval attitudes toward gender relations and hierarchy. The third chapter investigates ‘fairy-like' women enchantresses in romance and the extent to which fairy is ‘performed' in romance. The fourth chapter explores the location of Faerie and how it relates as an alternative ‘Otherworld' to the Christian Otherworlds of Paradise, Purgatory, Heaven, and Hell. The final chapter continues to examine geography by considering the application of Avalon and whether Avalon can be read as a ‘land of fairies'. By considering the etymological, spiritual, and gendered definitions of ‘fairy', my research reveals medieval attitudes toward not only the Otherworld, but also the contemporary medieval world. In doing so, this thesis provides new readings of little-studied medieval texts, such as the Middle English Melusine and Eger and Grime, as well as reconsider the presence of religious material and gender dynamics in medieval romance. This thesis demonstrates that by examining how fairy was used in Middle English romance, we can see how medieval authors were describing their present reality.

Button, Anne Joyce. "John Fletcher : gender and romance." Thesis, University of Surrey, 1996. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/842905/.
Full textAbstract:
The role of the Jacobean romance mode has been undervalued and misunderstood, not least because of what it has been seen to symbolise politically, and perhaps also because it was seen as beginning to be associated with a female audience. I suggest that gender and sexuality were often represented in romance in a radical way which was frequently empowering for women. Among dramatists, Fletcher and his collaborators in particular were freed by their use of romance to experiment with representations of gender in a radical way. The thesis is divided into four sections, all of which address the way that gender and sexuality are represented in the Beaumont and Fletcher canon. The first section has a chapter on Fletcher's debt to Shakespeare in Bonduca, and another on the two romance plays on which Fletcher and Shakespeare collaborated - The Two Noble Kimmen, and the lost Cardenio. The second section discusses Fletcher's The Faithful Shepherdess, first giving the context of English Jacobean pastoral tragicomedy and explaining its special significance for women, and secondly comparing Fletcher's play with Lady Mary Wroth's Love's Victory, a rare example of a Jacobean play by a woman. Section three explores the debt to prose romance of four plays - Philaster, Valentinian, Love's Cure and The Island Princess - focusing on the possibility that Fletcher may have been influenced by French precieux ideas. The final section investigates the part that women played in masques in the second half of the Jacobean period, and the way that Fletcher and his collaborators use masques and masque-like elements in their plays to exploit the dramatic potential of the Jacobean female masquer's unusually public and self-affirming role. By exploring the impact of Jacobean feminocentric romance forms on the plays of Fletcher and his collaborators I offer a fuller understanding of the ways in which they regarded gender and sexuality, and contribute to the wider project of rediscovering a history of women in the Jacobean period.

Fisher, Marianne. "Nobility in Middle English romance." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2013. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/54052/.
Full textAbstract:
Medieval nobility was a compound and fluid concept, the complexity of which is clearly reflected in the Middle English romances. This dissertation examines fourteen short verse romances, grouped by story-type into three categories. They are: type 1: romance and lost heirs (Degaré Chevelere Assigne, Sir Perceval of Galles, Lybeaus Desconus, and Octvian); type 2: romances about winning a bride (Floris and Blancheflour, The Erle of Tolous, Sir Eglamour of Artois, Sir Degrevant, and the Amis-Belisaunt plot from Amis and Amiloun); type 3: romances of improversihed knights (Amiloun's story from Amis and Amiloun, Sir Isumbras, Sir Amadace, Sir Cleges, and Sir Launfal). The analysis is based on contextualized close reading, drawing on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu. The results show that Middle English romance has no standard criteria for defining nobillity, but draws on the full range of contemporary opinion; understandings of nobility conflict both between and within texts. Ideological consistence is seldom a priority, and the genre apparently serves neither a single socio-political agenda, nor a single socio-political group. The dominant conception of nobility in each romance is determined by the story-type. Romance type 1 presents nobility as inherent in the blood, type 2 emphasizes prowess and force of will, and type 3 concentrates on virtue. However, no romance text offers just one definition; implicitly or explicitly, there are always alternatives. This internal variety indicates tha the romances imagine nobility scene-by-scene; even a text seemingly committed to one perspective is liable to abandon it temporarily if there is another better suited to the narrative moment. Ideological expression always comes second to effective story-telling. This means the texts are frequently inconsistent and sometimes illogical, but that multiplicity is of their very essence.

Esta dissertação procura investigar o romance Angústia, como gênero moderno, dentro de uma perspectiva analítica, reflexiva e histórica, a começar pela constituição do herói problemático, representando seu tempo e seu espaço. A base teórica desta pesquisa é a concepção do romance expressa na Teoria do Romance, de Lukács. Para o teórico, o romance surge da dissolução da narrativa medieval e somente no século XIX ele se confirma como forma típica da consciência burguesa da literatura, expressando seus dilemas e dando nova e moderna configuração ao gênero. O romance Angústia não trata apenas sobre a história de um herói problemático, mas sobre o seu contexto histórico problemático, isto é, o tempo e a sociedade do Brasil da época. Luís da Silva representa a sociedade moderna e seu destino é imposto por determinações sociais, pessoais, familiares e políticas, bem como as concepções de tempo e espaço e, também, a relação do escritor no seu ato criador - ironia - como 'intenção normativa do romance' que traz subjacente à narrativa a perspectiva do autor como traço biográfico.

Full textAbstract:
Critics and readers often consider Nicholas Sparks’ novel The Notebook to be a romance novel, while Sparks himself considers it a love story. Sparks claims that there are no similarities between the two genres. Therefore, this paper investigates the differences and similarities between the romance genre and the love story genre, while simultaneously exploring The Notebook’s storyline, the characterization, and the marketing surrounding the book in order to understand the novel’s classification. The purpose is to discover if The Notebook can be identified as a romance even if it never was Sparks’ intention. The only aspect that differs between the genres is how the ending is written, other than that there are no remarkable differences. There are also several elements that validates that The Notebook has romantic features. Both of the protagonists have romance characteristics, the cover of the novel is a characteristic romance cover, and the storyline itself is based on a romance structure and it follows all of the essential romance elements. The conclusion of this paper is that The Notebook has romance elements and therefore can be placed in the romance genre even if that never was Sparks’ intention.

Burge, Amy. "Desiring the east : a comparative study of Middle English romance and modern popular sheikh romance." Thesis, University of York, 2012. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3121/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis comparatively examines a selection of twenty-first century sheikh romances and Middle English romances from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that imagine an erotic relationship occurring between east and west. They do so against a background of conflict, articulated in military confrontation and binary religious and ethnic division. The thesis explores the strategies used to facilitate the cross-cultural relationship across such a gulf of difference and considers what a comparison of medieval and modern romance can reveal about attitudes towards otherness in popular romance. In Chapter 1, I analyse the construction of the east in each genre, investigating how the homogenisation of the romance east in sheikh romance distances it from the geopolitical reality of those parts of the Middle East seen, by the west, to be "other". Chapter 2 examines the articulation of gender identity and the ways in which these romances subvert and reassert binary gender difference to uphold normative heterosexual relations. Chapter 3 considers how ethnic and religious difference is nuanced, in particular through the use of fabric, breaking down the disjunction between east and west. Chapter 4 investigates the way ethnicity, religion and gender affect hierarchies of power in the abduction motif, enabling undesirable aspects of the east to be recast. The key finding of this thesis is that both romance genres facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship by rewriting apparently binary differences of religion and ethnicity to create sameness. While the east is figured differently in Middle English and modern sheikh romance, the strategies they use to facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship are similar. The thesis concludes that the constancy of certain attitudes towards the east in both medieval and modern romance reveals a persistence of conservative values in representations of the east in romance.

Player, Abigail. "Leadership selection : leadership potential, leadership performance and gender." Thesis, University of Kent, 2015. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/53514/.
Full textAbstract:
Leadership potential is now one of the most desirable traits in candidates applying for a job or promotion (Church, 2014), and experimental evidence proposes that leadership potential is preferable to previous leadership performance in leadership candidates (Tormala, Jia, & Norton, 2012). Reports suggests that it is possible for men to progress on their future leadership potential whereas women progress on their past leadership performance (Catalyst, 2013; McKinsey, 2012). However, this has yet to be empirically tested and very little is known about the social and psychological processes behind the relationship between gender and leadership potential. This thesis presents a series of nine studies investigating leadership potential and gender in hiring situations. These studies indicate that male candidates who demonstrate leadership potential are the most likely to be selected ahead of other equally qualified candidates, whereas female candidates are selected on the basis of leadership performance. The robustness of the association between leadership potential and gender was further reinforced by examining its relationship in different management levels (junior vs. senior; Studies 5-7) and social contexts (masculine vs. feminine; Studies 8 & 9). Moreover, this thesis starts to explore the psychological constructs behind the preference for leadership potential in male candidates and the preference for leadership performance in female candidates (Study 9). The theoretical and practical implications are discussed, in addition to future directions for research.

O Romance, enquanto instância artística e literária, é fundado sobre um determinado e específico número de elementos? Se sim, é possível identificar quais seriam eles? Ou seja, pensando ontologicamente, há algum conjunto de fundamentos que fazem o romance ser o que é? Essas são indagações das quais partimos para analisar os textos ensaísticos do romancista tcheco Milan Kundera. Em seu livro A arte do romance, de 1983, Kundera discute – a partir das reflexões do filósofo Edmund Husserl acerca da modernidade – sobre o fazer romanesco, bem como a posição do romance neste momento da história. Tomando como pressuposto a abordagem proposta pelo grupo de pesquisa Epistemologia do Romance, pretendemos decompor o pensamento teórico de Kundera, no sentido de intentar encontrar aqueles que podem ser considerados os elementos ontológicos de sua própria criação romanesca, bem como discutir uma das proposições fundamentais do pensamento kunderiano: a de que o romance possui uma sabedoria que lhe é própria. A pesquisa será pautada fundamentalmente nas propostas exibidas por Kundera em A arte do romance, dialogando com outros textos ensaísticos do autor como Testamentos traídos (1993), A cortina (2005) e Um encontro (2009).
Is the Romance, as an artistic and literary instance, founded on a precise and specific number of elements? If so, what are they? Ontologically thinking, are there any set of fundamentals that make the romance what it is? These are the questions which we set out to analyze the essay texts of the Czech novelist Milan Kundera. In his book The Art of Novel, 1983, Kundera discusses – since reflections about modernity of the philosopher Edmund Husserl – about the romanesque doing, as well as the position of the novel at this moment in history. Taking as a presupposition the approach proposed by the research group Epistemology of Romance, we intend to decompose the theoretical thought of Kundera, in the sense of trying to find those that can be considered the ontological elements of his own romanesque creation, as well as to discuss one of the fundamental propositions of the kunderian thought: that the novel has its own wisdom. The research will be placed fundamentally on the proposals presented by Kundera in The Art of the Novel, dialoguing with other essayistic Kundera‟s texts as Testaments betrayed (1993), The curtain (2005) and Encounter (2009).

Full textAbstract:
Immersed in the fantasy worlds of fairy tales and popular romance novels, this project explores the experience of reading for pleasure. Using the fairy tale, "Beauty and the Beast" as well as its retelling in popular romance format in Linda Jones' Debuty and the Beast, my work explores the tension and enjoyment of being a reader of romance while simultaneously internalizing the literary hierarchy that can relegate pleasure to the bottom of the value system. Ultimately, this thesis seeks out the places and times between the concrete, the literary seams amidst the defined limitations of what we think we know, and reexamines the value of pleasure and play for readers of the romance genre.
