Book Club | Lygia Fagundes Th Telles | As Meninas |15 Sept, 6.30-9 Pm · Lygia Fagundes Telles (1923- ) BOOK CLUB | LYGIA FAGUNDES TH TELLES | AS MENINAS |15 SEPT, 6.30-9 PM · LYGIA FAGUNDES TELLES (1923- ) As meninas (1973) translated into English as The Girl in the photograph (1982 & reprinted 2012) Three girls liberated from traditional limits pursue all kinds of pursuits in the frenzied micro-universe of a huge metropolis. How do the nuns of Our Lady of Fátima Nuns’ Boarding House approach their business of offering a safe lodge in a huge city? Seduced by every kind of pleasure, the characters become slaves of their passions, obsessions and addictions! Some debauchery with a grotesque comic element mixed with contemporary political commentary. One of the girls becomes besotted by a married man in a Brazilian soap- opera style… Lygia Fagundes Telles’s use of language evokes the fragmented cacophony of the minds and souls of the characters. Applying a stream of consciousness technique, self-absorbed chatter resembles some of 21st century social media chatter. The original title As Meninas, literally, The Girls, oddly, was translated as The Girl in the Photograph… DETAILS OF AVAILABLE PUBLICATIONS: ENGLISH The Girl in the Photograph translated by Margaret A. Neves, Dalkey Archive Press, 1982 (Avon Bard, N.Y.) and reprinted in 2012 - ISBN-10: 1564787842 ISBN-13: 978- 1564787842 PORTUGUESE Various editions, e.g. ISBN 9788535914306 SHORT HISTORY OF THE BOOK AND TRANSLATIONS As Meninas, the third novel by Lygia Fagundes Telles, was published in 1973 by the publisher José Olympio, and became an instant success and was awarded the most important literary prizes in Brazil: the Coelho Neto Prize of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, the Jabuti of the Brazilian Book Chamber (Câmara Brasileira do Livro) in 1973 and the ‘Fiction Prize ( ‘Ficção’) of the São Paulo Art Critics Association (APCA) in 1974. The book carries a dedication to Paulo Emílio (Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes (1916-1977)). Lygia Fagundes Telles had already gained acclaim for her first two novels Ciranda de Pedra (1954), a gripping tale and page-turner, and Verão no aquário (1963). Antes do baile verde, a set of eighteen short stories published in 1970 is generally regarded as one of the author’s masterly pieces. Later the author, would say that her earlier works were not as relevant and that As Meninas ought to herald her career as an author. The novel was originally translated in 1982 by Margaret A. (Abigail) Neves, who spawned a new title for the novel The Girl on the Photograph. The first translated was published by Avon Bard, New York. Margaret A. (Abigail) Neves has translated other authors, e.g. Jorge Amado, Antonio Torres, Moacyr Scliar and Edgard T. Ribeiro. There is scant information about this translation and one could venture and argue that Margaret A. Neves may even be a pen name. There are various mistranslated lexical items and also the translator takes the liberty with hoe she renders verbal tenses – in the opening paragraph of the novel past is changed into present tense. The author’s syntax is rather complex and rephrasing is frequent in the Neves’s translation, thus, losing the tempo and rhythm of the original text. The translation was reprinted by Dalkey Archive Press (Champaign, Dublin, London) in 2012 with an added introduction by Earl E. Fitz, Professor of Portuguese, Spanish, and Comparative Literature Affiliated Faculty: Centre for Latin American Studies at the Vanderbilt University. Again, the advice for our book club members: it is better to skip introductions in either the original or translation as they represent a particular point of view at a particular point in time, and may include bias or idiosyncratic views. Simply read the novel and enjoy it. The editors of Dalkey Archive Press have annoyingly failed in reviewing the splitting of syllables at the end of the lines before reprinting, albeit having received funding from USA and Brazil for the reprinting of the translation. As meninas was also translated into Spanish (Las Meninas) in 1973; French (Les pensionnaires) in 2005. The novel was adapted to theatre twice in 1988 and 1998. In 1996, the actor and filmmaker Emiliano Ribeiro (1948-2011) adapted the novel to cinema. BIOGRAPHY Lygia Fagundes Telles at the age of 90, Lygia Fagundes Telles, née Lygia de Azevedo Fagundes, was born on 19th April 1923 in São Paulo, the state of São Paulo in Brazil. She spent most of her early childhood in the São Paulo countryside with her parents, Durval de Azevedo Fagundes, a law graduate, who worked as a public prosecutor and Maria do Rosário (Zazita), a pianist.

In 1960, she separated from her husband and, in 1962, resumed an earlier relationship with the historian and art critic Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes (1916- 1977), which generated much criticism in social circles of the time as she remained formally married. They lived happily together for 10 years. She would also gain early support and acclaim from the poet and writer Carlos Drummond de Andrade (1902-1987) and the author Érico Verissimo (1905-1975), who became her friends.

  • Sobre a Divulgação E Recepção Da Literatura Brasileira Na Hungria
    Sobre a divulgação e recepção da literatura brasileira na Hungria Ferenc Pál Professor Emeritus da Eötvös Loránd University. As primeiras informações da literatura brasileira chegam ao público húngaro por via dos verbetes das enciclopédias editadas na viragem dos séculos XIX e XX. N’A Grande Enciclopédia da Pallas1 alguns poetas destacados (como Gonçalves de Magalhães, Gonçalves Dias e Tomás António de Gonzaga) já tem verbetes autónomos. No volume 3, de 1911, da Grande Enciclopédia da Révai2 já se encontra um verbete em separado sobre a “literatura brasiliana”, rezando que “a literatura brasiliana durante muito tempo foi apenas um ramo da literatura portuguesa e só nos últimos tempos começou a se desenvolver em rumo diferente”. Nesta enciclopédia já aumenta o número dos autores com verbete autónomo (assim encontramos incluídos nela os mais importantes ou famosos autores do romantismo, como Macedo, Álvares de Azevedo, Bernardo Guimarães, etc.). Nas enciclopédias posteriores, em especial nas enciclopédias de literatura universal3, encontramos informações cada vez mais sofisticadas da literatura brasileira, até que na volumosa Enciclopédia da Literatura Universal, cujos volumes saíam desde 1970 até meados dos 19904, encontramos, além dos verbetes sobre a literatura brasileira e fenómenos literários ligados com o Brasil (como por ex.: o Modernismo), verbetes de 228 escritores brasileiros. Mas tudo isto é apenas uma mera informação das letras brasileiras que ainda não é acompanhada de obras traduzidas para conhecimento do público húngaro. A primazia, segundo hoje podemos afirmar, corresponde a um conto de Machado de Assis, que foi 1 A Pallasz Nagy Lexikona. 2 Révai Nagy Lexikona. 3 Queremos mencionar, apenas como contribuição bibliográfia, as enciclopédias da literatura seguintes, mencionadas na bibliografia: Irodalmi Lexikon, Világirodalmi Lexikon, Világirodalmi Kisenciklopédia 4 Világirodalmi Lexikon.

  • SUMARIO Caderno De Leituras
    APRESENTAÇÃO LILIA M. SCHWARCZ e MARIANA MENDES Em 1999, quando criamos o primeiro Caderno de Leituras dedicado aos livros do catálogo Companhia das Letrinhas, nos surpreendemos com a rapi- dez com que ele foi acolhido pelos educadores do país. O material reunia artigos sobre diversos temas relacionados ao aproveitamento da produção literária no processo educativo, tendo como ponto de partida o vasto catálo- go de literatura infantojuvenil da editora. Na ocasião, recebemos pedidos de todo o Brasil para que fossem enviados exemplares em quantidade para se- cretarias de educação, salas de leituras, órgãos governamentais, em geral, além da ótima acolhida por parte da rede privada de ensino. Ficamos felizes ao notar que a publicação, apesar de não ser essa a sua intenção, havia ga- nhado ares de livro de formação. Em 2002, passamos a publicar toda a obra do Erico Verissimo e, como reconhecimento à importância do autor para a nossa literatura, dedicamos um Caderno de Leituras exclusivamente à sua obra. Assim surgiu o primeiro Caderno de Leituras destinado a um autor em especial. Vieram na sequência Caderno de Leituras Vinicius de Moraes, Jorge Amado (dois volumes, um mais dedicado a temas sociais, outro mais à literatura, propriamente dita), Lygia Fagundes Telles e Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Os Cadernos de Leituras de Jorge Amado, Vinicius de Moraes e Carlos Drummond de An- drade deram suporte para um trabalho especial, voltado para a formação de professores em todo o Brasil, em parceria com diferentes Secretarias Esta- duais. A importância desses projetos inaugurou um novo departamento, de- pois incorporado ao departamento de educação, que chamamos de Núcleo de incentivo à leitura.

  • Translating Brazil: from Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010
    Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 By Krista Marie Brune A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair Professor Scott Saul Spring 2016 Abstract Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 by Krista Marie Brune Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair This dissertation analyzes how travel and translation informed the construction of Brazil as modern in the 19th century, and how similar processes of transnational translation continue to shape the cultural visibility of the nation abroad in the contemporary moment. By reading journals, literary works, and cultural criticism, this study inserts Brazilian literature and culture into recent debates about translatability, world literature, and cosmopolitanism, while also underscoring the often-overlooked presence of Brazilians in the United States. The first half of the dissertation contends that Portuguese-language periodicals Correio Braziliense (London, 1808-1822), Revista Nitheroy (Paris, 1836), and O Novo Mundo (New York, 1870-1879) translated European and North American ideas of technology and education to a readership primarily in Brazil. The transnational circulation of these periodicals contributed to the self- fashioning of intellectuals who came to define the nation. To suggest parallels between Brazil and the United States in the late 19th century, the analysis of O Novo Mundo focuses on discourses of nation, modernity, and technological progress emerging in the hemispheric travels of scientists, intellectuals, and the Brazilian empire Dom Pedro II, and in the national displays at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia.

  • Jorge Amado and the Internationalization of Brazilian Literature
    http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2013v1n31p119 JORGE AMADO AND THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF BRAZILIAN LITERATURE Elizabeth Lowe University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [email protected] Abstract: Jorge Amado (1912-2001) is the most translated Brazi- lian writer and the literary figure that has shaped the reception of Brazilian literature in the world. He is credited with opening the international literary market to the post-dictatorship generation of Brazilian writers. Yet Amado is also a controversial figure. The debate around him is sparked by what some believe is sexual and ethnic stereotyping in his post-1958 works and the reinforcement of “paternalistic “racial views. His reception therefore is mixed. For his English-language readers, he is a fascinating source of exotic and titillating narratives about the vast, unknown country of Brazil, and for Brazilians he is either a “great ambassador of Brazilian culture around the world” or a faux populist who dis- guises sexist and racist attitudes behind charming prose. This talk will address Amado’s literary career, his unique contributions to Brazilian letters, the challenges of translating his work, and his influence on the production of a new Brazilian literature for export Keywords: reception, controversy, translation. Jorge Amado is among the writers who have contributed most to the emergence of a post-modern Inter-American literature. He is at the same time a transitional and a controversial figure. Still the most widely translated Brazilian novelist—his works have appea- red in over forty languages and in fifty-five countries—he was the 120 Elizabeth Lowe, Jorge Amado and the internationalization of..

  • The New Brazilian Literature”
    SENHORAS DOS SEUS DESTINOS: The Women Writing “The New Brazilian Literature” Claire Williams1 Dizem por aí que a persistência vence sempre. E… as mulheres possuem muito combustível… Claribalte Passos, ‘A posição da mulher na literatura moderna’, Vanguarda, Fev. 1947, sp. In 1994, in response to the publication of Harold Bloom’s The Western Canon, the Brazilian magazine Veja conducted a survey of (male) Brazilian intellectuals to discover which gems constituted the Brazilian literary canon.2 150 titles were mentioned in the article but only four of them were by women writers and two of them by the same woman: Clarice Lispector. Regina Dalcastagnè’s research project at the University of Brasília confirmed that between 1990 and 2004, women made up 30% of the writers published by major Brazilian publishing companies, and that 40% of the characters were female; their occupations ranging between “dona de casa” (the most frequent, at 25%) and “escritora” (the least frequent, at 3.2%).3 1 University of Oxford, UK. 2 Darlene Sadlier, ‘Theory and Pedagogy in the Brazilian Northeast’, in Brazilian Feminisms, eds. Solange Ribeiro de Oliveira and Judith Still, The University of Nottingham Monographs in the Humanities XII, 1999, pp. 163-72. 3 The results of this fascinating survey can be found in Regina Dalcastagnè, ‘A personagem do romance brasileiro contemporâneo (1990-2004)’, Estudos de Literatura Brasileira Contemporânea 26 (2005), pp. 13-71, and also online at http://www.crimic.paris- sorbonne.fr/actes/vf/dalcastagne.pdf (accessed 1 June 2009).

  • Jorge Amado Em África1 Houses with River Behind: Jorge Amado in Africa
    * Casas com rio atrás: Jorge Amado em África1 Houses with river behind: Jorge Amado in Africa ** FABIANA CARELLI2 Resumo: Citado como modelo por escritores da África de língua portuguesa, diz Tania Macêdo que “[a]o afirmar a singularidade brasileira e ao denunciar as desigualdades locais […], Jorge Amado agiu como um catalizador para os escritores africanos […]” (Macêdo, 2008: 145). Este artigo busca apontar possíveis motivos estéticos, temáticos e políticos para essa reverência ao escritor baiano em África, demonstrando reverberações de seu estilo no romance A vida verdadeira de Domingos Xavier (1961), de Luandino Vieira, e em sua adaptação fílmica Sambizanga (1972), de Sarah Maldoror. Palavras-chave: Jorge Amado, A vida verdadeira de Domingos Xavier, Luandino Vieira, Sambizanga, Sarah Maldoror. Abstract: Cited as a model by Lusophone African writers, Jorge Amado, according to Tania Macêdo, “has acted as a catalyst for African writers” “by affirming Brazilian uniqueness and reporting local inequalities” (Macêdo, 2008: 145, versão minha para o inglês). Following this idea, this article aims to indicate possible aesthetic, thematic and political reasons for this reverence to the Bahian writer in Africa, showing some reverberations of his style in Luandino Vieira’s novel The real life of Domingos Xavier (1961) and its film adaptation Sambizanga (1972), by Sarah Maldoror. Keywords: Jorge Amado, The real life of Domingos Xavier, Luandino Vieira, Sambizanga, Sarah Maldoror. * Este artigo incorpora, de forma acrescida e modificada, trechos de minha dissertação de mestrado e de minha tese de doutoramento, ambas não publicadas e mencionadas nas Referências. ** Docente-pesquisadora do Programa de Estudos Comparados de Literaturas de Língua Portuguesa da Universidade de São Paulo.

  • Vinicius: O Branco Mais Preto Do Brasil O Resgate Da Cultura Negra Em Busca Da Construção Da Identidade Do Homem Brasileiro Que Estaria Em Suas Origens
    1 VINICIUS: O BRANCO MAIS PRETO DO BRASIL O RESGATE DA CULTURA NEGRA EM BUSCA DA CONSTRUÇÃO DA IDENTIDADE DO HOMEM BRASILEIRO QUE ESTARIA EM SUAS ORIGENS Caroline de Freitas Pereira1 Osny André Pedreira Telles2 Resumo: O presente artigo irá analisar a construção identitária do artista Vinicius de Moraes através de três canções, feitas em parceria com o artista Baden Powell, pertencentes ao grupo dos afro-sambas. O propósito do estudo é traçar o encontro do poeta com a música popular brasileira, mais propriamente a música afro-brasileira, seus elementos místicos e sonoridades, oriundos do negro na gênese do Brasil. A metodologia utilizada compreendeu a análise de depoimentos, sua maioria contida no documentário Vinicius, e embasamentos teóricos sobre a formação e transformação da identidade cultural. Ao final do estudo pôde-se observar que o envolvimento do artista com o ambiente musical retratado significou uma mudança de postura diante à vida e arte. Eis um novo Vinicius de Moraes, popular e emblemático, que passa a reconhecer características, antes esnobadas, como núcleo de um conjunto identitário pertencente a cada homem brasileiro. Palavras-chave: Vinicius de Moraes. Os Afro-Sambas. Identidade. Música. Cultura Afro- Brasileira. Poeta, cantor, compositor e diplomata, Vinicius de Moraes, “o poetinha”, fez do seu caminho de vida uma obra artística. Nos seus estágios, do período escolar no cerne da educação católica à entrega e vivência em terreiros de candomblé mais tarde, achou insumo para preencher suas poesias e letras. Segundo Eucanaã Ferraz (2008), o curso inicial da sua poesia foi marcada por isolamento aristocrático de ordem intelectual e moral.
