  • Jean Renoir the River: Uma História Ou Um Lugar?
    [Escrever texto] Jean Renoir The River: Uma história ou um lugar? Passagem pela Índia Inês do Nascimento Lourenço Dissertação Mestrado em Ciências da Comunicação Março 2013 Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências da Comunicação, realizada sob a orientação científica de José Manuel Costa. Ao meu pai AGRADECIMENTOS Ao Professor José Manuel Costa, pela confiança e gosto que partilhou comigo no tema deste trabalho, e pelos importantes conselhos teóricos e conhecimentos da história do cinema que enriqueceram a minha abordagem. Ao Luís Caetano, pelo incentivo que me deu na decisão do tema da tese, e pelo incomparável, continuado apoio, disponibilidade, interesse (e mesmo paciência) em ouvir-me falar sobre Jean Renoir. Aos meus amigos, por compreenderem algumas das minhas ausências por razões de recolhimento reflexivo, sobretudo, à Marta Talhão, que acompanhou presencialmente as diversas fases do trabalho. À minha mãe, que mesmo à distância, me ofereceu entusiasmo e atenção nos assuntos que me ocuparam ao longo dos últimos meses. Jean Renoir, The River: Uma história ou um lugar? Passagem pela Índia Inês Lourenço RESUMO No âmbito de uma análise focada no filme The River, de Jean Renoir, adaptado do romance autobiográfico de Rumer Godden, com o mesmo nome, e sobretudo nos princípios e factos que envolveram a sua realização, a presente tese procura esclarecer a importância e verdadeira motivação do realizador em cursar um projeto, exigindo a sua execução no local. Contra a “comodidade” do sistema de estúdios, sustentado por Hollywood, Renoir faz imperar a vontade de filmar na Índia. A especificidade de The River está numa espécie de “vassalagem” da narrativa em relação ao próprio espírito do local, e mesmo num grau de apropriação biográfica.

  • Arundhati Roy, the God of Small Things and Rumer Godden
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 15, No 1 (2020) Postcolonial Fiction and the Question of Influence: Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things and Rumer Godden Alex Tickell Open University, UK In an interview with Salon magazine conducted in September 1997, only a few months after the publication of her meteorically successful first novel, The God of Small Things, Arundhati Roy was asked about her literary influences. Her response to the interviewer Reena Jana, quoted here, says more, perhaps, about the expectations of journalists and critics at the time, with their inevitable comparisons to Salman Rushdie, than it does about Roy’s own precursors: RJ: Speaking of influences … your work has been compared to Salman Rushdie’s. AR: I think that the comparison to Salman has been just a lazy response. When in doubt, if it’s an Indian writer, compare them to Salman, because he’s the best-known Indian writer! … I think critics have a problem when a new writer comes along, because they want to peg an identity on them … Actually, it’s not just Rushdie I’m compared to. There’s [Garcia] Marquez, Joyce … and Faulkner, always Faulkner. … But I’ve never read Faulkner before! So I can’t say anything about him. I have, however, read some other writers from the American South — Mark Twain, Harper S. Lee — and I think that perhaps there’s an infusion or intrusion of landscape in their literature that might be similar to mine. While Roy grudgingly accepts that she might share a comparable imaginative terrain—‘an infusion … of landscape’—with writers of the American South she avoids answering the (interview) question of her ‘influences’ directly: a question that is perhaps always difficult for writers, who may want to disavow sources of inspiration—especially if, like Roy, they place a high political and artistic value on integrity and creative independence.
