- Item"Fumaças de literatura” na epistolografia de Graciliano Ramos: estética, política e escrita literária(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-08-08) Banhos, Thalita de Oliveira Simões; Paz, Gaspar Leal; https://orcid.org/0009-0002-1139-1791; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5152530982132224; https://orcid.org/0009-0008-3812-2536; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9978288592431852; Salgueiro, Wilbert Claython Ferreira; https://orcid.org/; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; Moura, Edilson Dias de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6784-5150; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9220804550301779; Belúzio, Rafael Fava; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8394-3335; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6253043004654024; Souza, Aline Prúcoli; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0540-7654; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4416978484538362This dissertation analyzes the epistolary writing of Graciliano Ramos, understanding his letters not as merely biographical or testimonial documents, but as a constitutive part of his literary work. Grounded in the epistolographic studies of Brigitte Diaz, Geneviève Haroche-Bouzinac, and Silviano Santiago, among others, the research starts from the premise that the letter, although historically marginalized within the hierarchy of literary genres, carries traces of literariness that challenge the boundaries between life and fiction, intimacy and aesthetics. The analysis of Graciliano’s correspondence reveals an author who does not separate the epistolary exercise from his stylistic rigor and literary project. This project is interpreted primarily through the lens of literary criticism by Antonio Candido, Alfredo Bosi, Edilson Moura, Ieda Lebensztayn, and Wilberth Salgueiro. The letter, thus, emerges as a space for the elaboration of the self and the other, of memory and experience, operating as a cog in the literary machine, in the terms of Deleuze and Guattari. Far from being a mere communicative tool, epistolary writing becomes a stage for aesthetic experimentation, image construction, resistance to oblivion, and the maintenance of affective bonds across distances. Through the reading of his letters, it becomes evident that Graciliano mobilizes epistolary language as an extension of his literary ethics and aesthetics, reaffirming the inseparability of life, work, and writing. In doing so, he aligns himself with a tradition of writers for whom the letter is also a form of literature — a practice that transcends utilitarian function to become a space for reflection, elaboration, and permanence
- ItemA jornada da heroína na quadrilogia napolitana de Elena Ferrante(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-08-04) Gonçalves, Francyne dos Santos; Caser, Maria Mirtis; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9247-8199; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1341358191671907; https://orcid.org/0009-0004-1244-5426; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3001214311000455; Nathanailidis, Andressa Zoi; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6264-2362; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3371274869641421; Ribeiro, Renata Rocha; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1714-3182; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9766358738375689This research critically analyzes the heroine’s journey in Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels, which comprises My Brilliant Friend (2015), The Story of a New Name (2016), Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay (2016), and The Story of the Lost Child (2017). The study focuses on the character and narrator Elena Greco (Lenu), in dialogue with the concept of the heroine’s journey formulated by Maureen Murdock (2022 [1990]) in The Heroine’s Journey: Woman’s Quest for Wholeness. The research examines the mother–daughter relationship in Ferrante’s works, emphasizing its importance in female psychological development, as described by Murdock (2022 [1990]), as well as the stages of the narrator’s formation. In addition, the study investigates the representation of the maternal archetype through the lens of Carl Gustav Jung’s theories (2016, 2018), complemented by Murdock’s contributions (2022 [1990]). To further reflect on the role of women in society and on female representation in literature, the investigation draws on the works of authors such as Elisabeth Badinter (1985), Silvia Federici (2019), and Judith Butler (2017). The aim is to demonstrate how an understanding of the epic trajectory can contribute to the development of an innovative narrative concerning the multiple forms of women’s existence and expression in society.
- ItemA contística de Raduan Nassar sob a perspectiva da violência e do erotismo(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-07-24) Pimenta, Pedro Henrique Aleixo; Arendt, João Claudio; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2587-2521; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4108580744111952 ; https://orcid.org/0009-0006-8796-8170; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3467052661292456 ; Caser, Maria Mirtis; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9247-8199; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1341358191671907; Pereira, Helena Bonito Couto; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1642-5447; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9240687015870539This dissertation aims to investigate how violence and eroticism are represented in the short stories of Raduan Nassar. By addressing multiple forms of violence and their victimized subjects, Raduan Nassar employs a literary discourse that is both violent and filled with erotic meanings, evoking discomfort and denouncing the way so-called “minorities” are treated in society. Initially, it was noted that there is a considerable tendency among critics to approach eroticism in Nassar’s work as dissociated from a constant element: violence. Furthermore, there is a gap in academic production, which is mostly based on the author’s best-known texts, such as Ancient Tillage (Lavoura Arcaica) and A Cup of Rage (Um Copo de Cólera). These observations justify this dissertation, which, by focusing on lesser-known short stories, fosters discussions about power relations in a Brazilian society still marked by patriarchy and male domination. The results obtained show a willingness in recent studies to acknowledge, even if briefly, the pervasive violence in these stories, reinforcing the importance of this theme in Nassar’s work. Furthermore, regarding violence and eroticism, the research confirmed the interconnection between these two themes within human relationships, which are often represented in literature. Throughout the analysis of the short stories, a predominance of male narrators and characters was identified, who exert their violence to maintain male domination, primarily targeting women and other minorities: immigrants, Black people, lower social classes, children, and prostitutes. Additionally, a harmful eroticism was identified, structured as a device to enact violence, along with possible obscenities, which nonetheless encounter resistance opposing the forces of oppression and ferocity.
- ItemSátira política e literatura em cybercharges de Marcio Vaccari (2019-2022)(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-07-31) Cesário, Hellen Carla dos Santos; Orientador1; https://orcid.org/; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; https://orcid.org/; 1º membro da banca; 2º membro da bancaThis dissertation investigates how literature – understood from an expanded perspective that encompasses cinema, music, and the visual arts – is incorporated into the construction of critical humor in the cybercharges of Marcio Vaccari, published between 2019 and 2022, amidst a context of political radicalization and social setbacks during the Bolsonaro administration. Rather than merely provoking laughter, these digital productions function as instruments of resistance, using satire as a central strategy to expose the dismantling of public policies and highlight the contradictions of an official discourse marked by intolerance, negligence, and distortion of reality. Through the analysis of a selected corpus of cybercharges that engage with literary works and references, this study seeks to understand how humor intertwines with social criticism, cultural memory, and multimodal language to challenge the present. The research is grounded in a theoretical framework that encompasses reflections on the contemporary political context (Avritzer, 2020 & 2021; Singer, 2018; Castro Rocha, 2021), as well as studies on humor and the grotesque (Bergson, 1987; Propp, 1992; Bakhtin, 1987; Sodré & Paiva, 2002), satire and parody (Moisés, 2004; Hansen, 1990; Hutcheon, 1989), and contributions on political cartoons and their reconfiguration in the digital environment (Miani, 2012; Schwertner & Adolfo, 2020)
- ItemPersonagens e neocolonialismo em A hora dos ruminantes, de José J. Veiga(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-06-06) Santos, Gustavo Oliveira dos; Soares, Luís Eustáquio; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1430-4705; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2213072997694353; https://orcid.org/0009-0005-8017-5963; Sodré, Paulo Roberto; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9333-2201; Sandrini, Elizabete Gerlânia Caron; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3215-5635Under lenses countercolonial and dialectical-materialist, this research analyzed the narrative function of five characters in A hora dos ruminantes ([1966] 2022), by José J. Veiga. Merging aspects of the textualist and contextualist critical analysis, the study concludes that these five relevant characters to the development of the novel - Geminiano Dias, Amâncio Mendes, Manuel Florêncio, Nazaré and Apolinário - act as allegorical signs of the social relations inter-related. The methodology of this work is the bibliographic survey, with the critical works used in this research being: Souza (1987), Amaral (2002), Dantas (2003), Paganini (2007), Rezende (2008), Santos (2008), Oliveira (2009), Röhrig (2011), Oliveira (2012), Kohlrausch and Augstburger (2013), Trevizan (2013), Barbosa (2018), Amâncio (2019), Mello (2020), Almeida et al.
