Crise e vanguarda: sobre o invencionismo do Prata

Abstract: A partir de la recuperacion de tres ensayos breves de Ricardo Piglia, publicados en el cambio de siglo, son abordadas las revistas del invencionismo concreto argentino, Arturo y Madi, concentrando el analisis de las configuraciones de la asi denominada “vanguardia periferica” en los modos de ver, en el complot y en las consecuencias de la crisis del liberalismo (leidas, en ese viraje de siglo, a partir de la crisis del neo-liberalismo en la Argentina). En un segundo momento, el texto se detiene en la polemica de esas revistas con el peronismo, especialmente en la confrontacion de la no representacion estetica con la representacion politica (propia del populismo segun Ernesto Laclau) para establecer las rupturas entre los dos caminos. La constelacion Arturo trazaria un mapa que, apagandose aleatoriamente o emergiendo en determinados momentos, redefine las posiciones vanguardistas en el periodo situado entre las vanguardias historicas y las neo-vanguardias.

Narrativas/Máquinas performáticas: um diálogo entre literatura e performance

Abstract: For its composite character, literature has long been revealed as a fertile ground for experimentation and dialogue with other artistic manifestations, as Roland Barthes reveals in his Lesson (1977) and S/Z (1970). In addition, in view of the incessant return of the body as the core of themes/discussions of contemporary aesthetics, it becomes possible to think, in a great way, in a dialogue between literary art and performance art. In this sense, the present work intends to dialogue poems by the gaucho writer Angelica Freitas, in A uterus is the size of a fist (2017), and performances by the visual artist from Para, Berna Reale, understanding the constitution of the literary text as a “performative writing” (RAVETTI, 2002) and that the dialogue between literature and performance can create a “performatic machine” (AGUILAR;CAMARA, 2017).

Poesia ao grau de brinquedo: Uma leitura de Manoel de Barros

Abstract: This research proposes a critical reading of the poetry of Manoel de Barros - with emphasis on the poems in the book Memorias Inventadas. As Infâncias de Manoel de Barros in view of the preoccupation with the poetic exercise present in his work. In fact, there is a dynamic game characterized by a poetry that wants to be reflexive while evoking the materiality made "toy". The metapoetry, frequent in this work, make it clear that the poet's desire is to achieve something that is prior to the word and therefore intends to place himself on the principle of what can be said, so it is recurrent to use references such as the child , the birds and / or the wanderers. This primitive / primordial situation seems to be the frontier between perceiving the world and things and conceptualizing them. That is, between the sensory perception and the organization of the meaning of these things in language, a "crossing" happens, a displacement from one condition to another. nIn view of this, it was possible to inquire how poetry performs as a toy and art of playing through the "trans-use" of language, that is, to think of the relations between toy and poetry, observing the possibility of being instruments that enable the displacement between signifiers and meanings.

A Formação Intelectual de Nestor Victor: Caminhos para o Sincretismo

Abstract: Nestor Victor is considered one of the introductors of Symbolism in Brazil, having contributed to its diffusion through criticism, poetry and fiction. However, having taken the liberation of pre-conceived models as the main characteristic of this movement, the author assumes himself to be romantic, in the sense of spreading the defense of freedom of creation. In this work, we will cover how different currents of thought, coming from different authors of literature and philosophy, were part of his literary conception, by amalgamating trends circulating in the intellectual milieu. He is a thinker and artist who disagrees with his commitment to position himself on a platform, preferring to give maximum vigor to subjectivism. Signs, a short story, published in 1897, is his main contribution to the spread of the syncretism.

Cuerpos entre muros. João Gilberto Noll en el hospital

Abstract: En una narrativa como la de Joao Gilberto Noll en la que destacan los movimientos de itineranciay transformacion, el encierro hospitalario aparece como circunstancia discordante.

“Após a tragédia”: da Antígona ao luto perdido da modernidade, uma questão para a democracia.

Abstract: Au texte “Apres la tragedie”, Jean-Luc Nancy dit que toute l’histoire de l’Occident est un “apres la tragedie” et, selon lui, la tragedie est aussi la perte par excellence dont le retour ou la substitution on ne peut pas attendre. L’auteur fait aussi une breve reference au deuil: en pensant l’usage actuelle du mot “tragedie” pour parler d’une situation specifique qui suis une catastrophe, Nancy dit que “apres la tragedie” evoque pour nous une situation ou le deuil n’est plus possible ou ou il devient infini. D’ailleurs, Nancy fait une relation entre tragedie et democratie, soulignant que n’importe quelle reforme celle-ci tente de faire, rien n’aura lieu pendant qu’on manque de l’autre. Dans ce sens, on voudrait penser le deuil en tant que perte de la modernite, auquel est aussi liee la democratie et leur fautes, de facon outra travessia 27 - Programa de Pos-Graduacao em Literatura - 53 que aux efforts pour retrouver la tragedie il faut ajouter aussi des efforts pour recuperer le droit au deuil (et par consequente a la democratie). Pour soutenir cette pensee, on prendra en compte la tragedie l’Antigone de Sophocle, des que la personnage reclame le droit de donner sepulture a son frere Polynice, et aussi la tragedie de Brecht, ou on peut penser la suspension de la scene comme celle du deuil. Dans cette direction, on parlera aussi des idees de Judith Butler, qui declare que c’est la condition d’etre passible de deuil qui confere valeur a une vie.

Nelson Rodrigues e o melodrama no teatro contemporâneo: a transposição para o palco do folhetim Escravas do amor, da companhia teatral carioca Fodidos Privilegiados

Abstract: This study aims at examining the way in which Fodidos Privilegiados, a theatre company from Rio de Janeiro placed into the context of the collaborative work of contemporary theatre, transposed the feuilleton Escravas do amor to stage, scenically intensifying the melodramatic elements present in the original text. By means of the theatrical resources unique to the company’s aesthetics – use of choreographed pieces, tableau vivant, narration, economy of scenery and props -, which are used in almost all their plays, the staging of Escravas do amor is an adaptation of the 530 page feuilleton written by Nelson Rodrigues under the pseudonym of Suzana Flag. Thus, this study strives to analyze how Fodidos Privilegiados staged feuilleton characteristics such as abyss construction, deception, ruse, places related to the plot (cottage, forest, lodge and castle) and characters such as the traitor, the avenger, the victim and the fool, through melodramatic elements like use of music, face and body miming, large movements and exaggerated use of voice. The studies carried out by Silvia Oroz, Marlyse Meyer and Jesus Martin-Barbero are used as theoretical underpinning with regard to melodrama and feuilleton. Keywords: contemporary theatre; theatre company from Rio de Janeiro; melodrama, feuilleton; Nelson Rodrigues

As heroínas histéricas e vampíricas de Aluísio Azevedo

Abstract: This essay aims to analyse the hysterical female character in naturalistic prose influenced by Gothic poetics. For this, we reassess both Gothic and Naturalism. While the first is understood as a poetics that embodies a pessimistic interpretation of the world in a highly aestheticized artistic language, the second has its objective- scientific pretension and its blends with romantic heritages reanalysed. To investigate the figurations of the hysterical character in Brazilian literature, we also studied the short story “Muscles and nerves” (1893) and the novel O homem (1887), both by Aluisio Azevedo. Keywords: Gothic; Naturalism; Brazilian literature

Da utopia à distopia: a influência de aspectos culturais e históricos

Abstract: Since the publication of Utopia, by Thomas More’s Utopia, the term utopia has been used to denote the representation of a perfect place, without conflicts and egalitarian. From this, utopia became thematic present in several literary works, mainly in the period of the Renaissance. Centuries after the publication of Thomas More’s work, the thematic dystopia appears in the literature. Dystopia is antagonistic to utopia. While utopia seeks to portray a perfect place, dystopia reproduces a society in chaos, unequal. These two themes appear in the literature due to cultural and sociohistorical influences. In this sense, this article aims to survey cultural and socio-historical aspects that influenced the emergence of these themes in literature. Keywords: Utopia; Dystopia; Mimesis

Memória, imagens, palavras: uma leitura de Magrite à luz da Literatura

Abstract: This essay proposes the reading of the painting The memory, by Rene Magritte, as a sort of compilation of the most important theories on memory. Therefore, the discussion will go through each element that makes up the canvas - a marble front, a rattle, a leaf, the red curtain and the sky full of clouds - seeking to understand the problematization of the concept of memory proposed by the author in images. In this sense, adjacent themes will be discussed in the analysis, among them the most recurrent memory metaphors, such as that of the book, especially in Dante Aliguieri; the relationship between memory and death, especially with regard to trauma, which we will discuss from the classic rhetorical treatise Ad Herenium, as well as the relationship between past, present and future, read here from Aristotle to Lewis Carrol. In this sense, starting from a comparative analysis between the canvas and some literary and theoretical texts, the article aims to understand what memory is for Rene Magritte. Keywords: memory; art of memory; writing; time; forgetting

“Venha o autor do canto”: comentários sobre o prefácio do Euangeliorum libri quattuor de Juvenco

Abstract: In the fourth century CE, Juvencus, a Spaniard priest, was responsible for inaugurating the tradition of the so-called biblical epics with his only surviving work – the Euangeliorum libri quattuor – which is dedicated to narrating Christ’s life in dactylic hexameters. Given this novelty, the poet uses the preface to situate his work in relation to previous poets, justifying his endeavor and summarizing his choices for the text construction. Addressing the information presented and the way it is done, we propose an analysis of this portion of his poem in order to demonstrate how the author pursues this process using common themes of previous poetry at the same time that he rivals with it. It is observed, as an example, that the programmatic invocation to the Muses is replaced by an appeal to the Holy Spirit, and the traditional Greek springs from which inspiration flows, by the Jordan River.

Normalidade, projeção e alteridade em O filho eterno, de Cristovão Tezza e Nascer duas vezes, de Giuseppe Pontiggia

Abstract: This article aims to analyzing the intertextuality between Born Twice, by Pontiggia (2002) and Eternal Son, by Cristovao Tezza (2007), portraying how far a barely unspoken dialogue can reach, one that has not yet been properly explored. The proposal is to indicate how the two works approach each other, since both discuss the impact within the idea of norm, deviation, and also how both map the projections presented in interpersonal relationships. The analysis features the way the two books provoke, based on the representation of a relationship with a disabled person, a reflection on the limits and reach of alterity.

Leituras ao redor do silêncio

Abstract: Some of the pieces by Belgium poet and artist Marcel Broodthaers (1924-1976) are presented in this article as a way to raise thoughts on the intersection between literary and artistic practices, having as its main pilar readings surrounding silence. Attempting a new relation between poetry, arts and media, Broodhtaers creates pieces highlighting the graphic interests of the poet as he obliterates words. This destabilization of the power of words brought to Broodthaers’s works an emphasis on the image through in a writing space. In Un coup de des and Pense-Bete, for example, Broodthaers works mainly over existing pieces, distorting the idea of originality, and most importantly, exploring the vulnerability of words and meaning. By covering words and plastering books, Broodthaers calls attention to the substract, definied by American poet and critic Craig Dworkin, in No Medium, as what is left to be read. This way, between the said and non-said, word and image, Broodthaers arouses a new look at the role of literature, arts and media. Keywords: Broodthaers; silence; substract

Tennessee Williams y la ruptura del cine clásico: la construcción de unos personajes al límite en Un Tranvía Llamado Deseo

Abstract: Tennessee Williams ha sido unos de los dramaturgos norteamericanos mas adaptados en el cine clasico. La complejidad dramatica de sus obras causo un gran impacto en Broadway en los anos 40 y, por ello, diversos productores y cineastas decidieron adaptarlas en Hollywood. Sin embargo, la industria filmica no era tan libre como la escena neoyorquina y estaba dominada por el Codigo Hays, la estructura censora de caracter moral que la controlaba desde 1934. Debido a sus temas y personajes controvertidos, estas adaptaciones –estrenadas entre 1950 y 1968-, sufrieron modificaciones para estrenarse por imposicion del Codigo. La segunda, Un tranvia llamado deseo (Elia Kazan, 1951), fue una de las mas arriesgadas al tratar aspectos que no aparecian en pantalla desde el periodo Pre-Code (1930-1934), como la homosexualidad, la ninfomania o la violacion. Este trabajo analiza a sus protagonistas, Blanche DuBois y Stanley Kowalski, como persona y como rol –segun las teorias de Casetti y Di Chio-, para conocer su impacto con respecto a los personajes hegemonicos del cine clasico. La imagen, la profundidad y los roles de ambos influyeron en la construccion de otros seres de ficcion, masculinos y femeninos, en el cine de Hollywood a partir de los anos 50.

Das ilusões do real às verdades da fantasia: configurações da psicologia infantil em A bicicleta que tinha bigodes, de Ondjaki

Abstract: In this paper, we intend to do a reading of A bicileta que tinha bigodes (2013), by Ondjaki,Angolan writer. Faced, on the one hand, with “external” problems relating to the precarious socioeconomic situation of his country, which, at the time of the events narrated in the workin question, was in in the midst of a violent civil war, and, on the other hand, with “internal”problems of a more psychological manner, the children imagined by Ondjaki capture some of the most complex inner workings of infantile psychology. It is precisely this last aspect that our analysis will privilege, by choosing as a reading key the psychological construction of some of the main characters. In this way, we intend to examine the representation of the children’s psychological structure in said novel, especially when it is confronted with adult psychology. For this, we resorted mainly to the theoretical apparatus of Psychoanalysis, but also to some sociohistorical considerations, indispensable for a more holistic understanding of our corpus.

Júlio Pomar: uma leitura contemplativa do grotesco no neorreal

Abstract: Questo articolo vuole dimostrare, attraverso la contemplazione delle opere dell’artista visivo portoghese Julio Pomar, in correlazione con la critica artistica e letteraria dell’epoca, caratteristiche ed elementi estetici capaci di situare la sua fase d’espressione neorealista come anche oggetto di analisi moderno. Per fare questo, il presente articolo cerca, soprattutto, di identificare nei dipinti e disegni dell’artista caratteristiche moderne che, secondo Victor Hugo, sarebbero associate ad una estetica del grottesco oppure, come si vuole ampliare, alla deformazione e allo sgradevole. In questo caso, deformare grottescamente o optare per lo sgradevole invece del piacevole e anche prendere, come sentiero estetico-storico, la possibilita di rappresentare al centro della scena, sull’immagine e memoria, gli eroi piu piccoli, subalterni, invisibili, rubati o sconfitti, le cui voci e figure riceviamo distorte o come echi che devono essere dissotterrati.

Memória, Imagem e Arquivo: a potência arquivística da ficção de Décio Pignatari

Abstract: This text analyzes the expression of an archival potency by Decio Pignatari’s fictions, in his books O rosto da memoria (2014 [1986]) and Panteros (1992), having as a starting point the assumptions of literary theory, psychoanalysis and bibliography of texts. The updating of literary procedures of the Brazilian concretism by these two fiction books is analyzed, considering the context of valuing of the autobiographical and memorialistic discourses from the 1980s onwards, observing how the insertion of archivistic documents into the materiality of these books accentuates the self-fictional nature of the narratives.

O gaucho vai à ópera: Estanislao del Campo e os primeiros anos do Teatro Colón de Buenos Aires

Abstract: Three poems from Argentine writer Estanislao del Campo (Buenos Aires, 1834-1880), published between 1857 and 1866, have the Teatro Colon, inaugurated in 1857, as a motif. Two of them display the gaucho character “Anastasio el Pollo”, by which the author actualizes, although as a parody, the gauchesco genre. This essay briefly examines these poems, aiming at observing how they mobilize the universe of the lyrical theater as a mirror of the universe of the gauchesco genre. Keywords: Estanislao del Campo; Teatro Colon; Gauchesca Literature; Literature and Opera

Adaptação sob perspectiva: memento mori e as construções narrativas no conto e no longa-metragem

Abstract: This article discusses the short story “Memento Mori”, by Jonathan Nolan, and its subsequent cinematographic adaptation, directed by Christopher Nolan, in the year 2000. The objective of this work is to identify the peculiarities inherent to each support, investigating the plot construction strategies and the effects of meaning they generate in the aesthetic experience from literary reading and their subsequent translation into filmic language, reflecting on the idiosyncrasies of each narrative construction and the difficult process of adaptation between languages. For this, a comparative analysis based on the Theories of the Aesthetic Effect and Literary Anthropology is used, which discuss the phenomenon of aesthetic experience, individual and immanent; and the process of attributing meanings.
