Abstract

Quem tem medo de Hilda Hilst? O dado de provocação dessa pergunta ainda se faz presente, passados mais de dez anos de sua morte, em 2004. A escritora, poeta e teatróloga, nascida em Jaú, em 1930, ganha nestes últimos tempos uma nova leitura e um interesse crescente por sua obra. Em torno de Hilda Hilst é um livro que se situa no panorama da leitura atenta, sensível e curiosa da obra da autora, reunindo pesquisadores do Brasil e do exterior, amantes dessa chama inquieta que é o texto literário que a escritora paulista tão bem soube manter quente e acesa ao longo dos 47 anos de trabalho exclusivo com a literatura. Os leitores que enfrentam o jogo fornecido pela escritora não saem ilesos do ousado universo literário que ela tão bem explorou e que vai do sacro ao metafísico, passando pelo erótico e pelo campo do amoroso e sublime desejo da morte, sem deixar de se lançar ao combativo discurso político e social.

Abstract

Ce livre s'attache à décrire un avatar singulier du roman policier d'Edgar Allan Poe à nos jours. Il en illustre la capacité d'intégrer des enjeux et considérations qui dépassent les méthodes et ambitions traditionnelles de la littérature policière eu égard, d'une part, à sa diversité et sa complexité formelle et culturelle, et, d'autre part, à l'extrême richesse de son réseau intertextuel. En envisageant un large corpus de textes littéraires, filmiques, théoriques ou encore philosophiques, cet ouvrage considère le développement du genre dans sa continuité et dans ses ruptures selon une perspective transmédiale et transdisciplinaire. Cette dernière semble particulièrement adaptée à l'étude d'un objet qui prend sa source dans la circulation et l'interprétation des discours littéraire, esthétique et scientifique qui caractérisent les écrits de Poe, de ses premiers contes et nouvelles à "Eurêka", œuvre ultime située aux confins de l'essai philosophique, du poème en prose et du traité cosmologique. Cette promiscuité générique et discursive fait du "thriller métaphysique" un champ de recherche transdisciplinaire par excellence. Comme son nom le laisse entendre, ce paragenre de la fiction policière apparaît comme un objet duel tiraillé entre le réel et l'idéel, le monde sensible et les espaces transcendantaux. Les textes réunis ici démontrent par ailleurs que le thriller métaphysique est ancré autant dans la représentation que dans la critique de la représentation : il pratique le plus souvent une approche autoréflexive tout en s'inscrivant dans un champ référentiel très vaste. A cet égard, ce livre n'a d'autre ambition que d'éclairer la généalogie complexe du thriller métaphysique et d'en élucider quelques cas exemplaires de la diversité des pratiques de création et de réception d'un genre aspirant au mystère de l'irrésolu et de l'inexplicable.

Abstract

This study of the fictional themes and techniques of Michel Tournier reveals his profound radicalism as a social critic and novelist despite the seeming conventionality of his works. Guided by Tournier's essays and interviews, Petit examines his fiction in light of plot sources, philosophical and anthropological training, and his belief that fiction should change the world. Close study of Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, Le Roi des aulnes, Les Météores, Gaspard, Melchior et Balthazar, and La Goutte d'or, as well as the short fiction in Le Coq de bruyère and Le Médianoche amoureux, shows To

Abstract

Le roman proustien est hanté par la présence du possible, qui appelle son élucidation en logique modale. Il est aussi balisé de notions mathématiques. Ces deux aspects convergent dans la psychologie amoureuse, donnant au romanesque une teneur intellectuelle qui se prolonge dans sa portée politique.

Abstract

English metaphysical poetry, from Donne to Marvell, is notoriously witty. In this 1992 book, A. J. Smith seeks the reason for the central importance of wit in the thinking of the metaphysical poets and argues that metaphysical wit is essentially different from other modes of wit current in Renaissance Europe. Formal theories and rhetorics of wit are considered both for their theoretical import and their appraisals of wit in practice. Prevailing fashions of witty invention are scrutinized in Italian, French and Spanish writings, so as to bring out the nature and effect of various forms of wit: conceited, hieroglyphic, transformational and others from which the metaphysical mode is distinguished. He locates the basis of Renaissance wit in the received conception of the created order and a theory of literary innovation inherent in Humanist belief, which led to novel couplings of time and eternity, body and soul, man and God.

Abstract

Although readers of detective fiction ordinarily expect to learn the mystery's solution at the end, there is another kind of detective story—the history of which encompasses writers as diverse as Poe, Borges, Robbe-Grillet, Auster, and Stephen King—that ends with a question rather than an answer. The detective not only fails to solve the crime, but also confronts insoluble mysteries of interpretation and identity. As the contributors to Detecting Texts contend, such stories belong to a distinct genre, the "metaphysical detective story," in which the detective hero's inability to interpret the mystery inevitably casts doubt on the reader's similar attempt to make sense of the text and the world.Detecting Texts includes an introduction by the editors that defines the metaphysical detective story and traces its history from Poe's classic tales to today's postmodernist experiments. In addition to the editors, contributors include Stephen Bernstein, Joel Black, John T. Irwin, Jeffrey T. Nealon, and others.
