Brazilian Literature and the Representation of National Identity 1 Department of Spanish and Portuguese – Fall 2019 Portuguese 535 – Brazilian Literature BRAZILIAN LITERATURE AND THE REPRESENTATION OF NATIONAL IDENTITY RACE — CLASS — GENDER — MIGRATION Instructor and Director of the Portuguese Program: Prof. Ricardo Vasconcelos Contact: [email protected]; Arts and Letters 117. Professor Vasconcelos’s Academia website: <http://sdsu.academia.edu/RicardoVasconcelos>. Schedule: Wednesdays, 4 p.m. to 6:40 p.m. Office Hours: Mondays and Wednesdays, 12:50 p.m. – 1:40 p.m., or by appointment. I. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES This course focuses on the fictional representation of the formation of modern and contemporary Brazilian national identity in Brazilian literature, with a particular focus on the novel. The course aims to familiarize students with key social components to the definition of a common Brazilian identity — namely race, class, gender and migration —, using literature as a gauge for the perception Brazilian citizens have of these topics. We will read and debate Aluísio Azevedo’s O Cortiço (The Slum, 1890), a naturalist novel written at the time of the abolition of slavery. O Cortiço focuses on the development of Rio as an early melting pot of Afro-Brazilian, Indigenous and European heritage, one that defines the basis for contemporary Brazilian society. We will study Jorge Amado’s acclaimed Capitães da Areia (Captains of the Sands, 1937), a novel about the children that live in the streets of Salvador da Bahia. We will use an intersectional approach that focuses on class asymmetries, gender barriers, and racial discrimination, all topics that are addressed by the novel, as it renders a compelling account of the life of these disenfranchised children and their forms of cultural expression, such as capoeira. The course will also study Clarice Lispector’s A Hora da Estrela (1977), the story of Northeastern migrant Macabéa in Rio de Janeiro, told in an intimist and existentialist tone that forces us to reflect on the impact of internal migration in the life millions of anonymous Brazilians. Luiz Ruffato’s short novel Estive em Lisboa e Lembrei de Você (2009) portrays the diasporic experience of some of the 2,5 million Brazilian emigrants scattered around the world, by focusing on the dreams, hopes, blunders and successes of Serginho, from Cataguazes, MG, who emigrates to Portugal in search for a better life. All readings are completed in Portuguese. Portuguese undergraduates will complete all class work in Portuguese. Graduate students will complete their assignments in their language of specialization (typically Portuguese, Spanish, or English). This course meets the Spanish MA requirement of “Knowledge of Portuguese.” By the end of the course, students will: 1. become familiar with the main characteristics of the works and authors discussed; 2. systematize how factors such as race, class, gender and (e)migration are used in Brazilian literature to address issues related to Brazilian national identity; 2 3. characterize key periods of social change in Brazilian society, and assess the relations between the literary works read and these moments; 4. communicate, orally and in written, at the advanced-mid level in Portuguese, as per ACTFL guidelines (applicable to Portuguese Minors only). Graduate students from other programs will, in turn, have developed a reading knowledge of Portuguese. II. COURSE MATERIALS Four novels/short novels are required in this course. They are the following (in the order we will read them in class): Azevedo, Aluísio. O cortiço. Pref. Paulo Franchetti, ed. e notas Leila Guenther. Ateliê Editorial, 2012. Impresso. (ISBN: 8574805793; 9788574805795) Amado, Jorge. Capitães da areia. Companhia das Letras, 2008. (ISBN: 85359111693; 9788535911695). Lispector, Clarice. A hora da estrela. Rocco: 1999 (ISBN: 853250812X; 9788532508126). Ruffato, Luiz. Estive em Lisboa e lembrei de você. Companhia das Letras, 2009. Although there are many editions of some of these novels, it is important to try to keep the ones indicated, for better class functioning. This is particularly the case for the edition of Aluísio Azevedo’s O Cortiço, which has a vast glossary that will help you understand the 19th century vocabulary easily, and for the edition of Ruffato’s Estive em Lisboa e lembrei de você, which was published in Portugal with a slightly different title and some language modifications — we want to stick to the Brazilian edition. In the first weeks of class, you will read a sample of Brazilian texts, including letters, manifestoes, short stories, provided by the author. During the course of the semester, your professor will provide other smaller reading assignments, namely through Blackboard. III. COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSIGNMENTS 1. Homework: Students will read in advance for each class the literary works indicated in the calendar. If indicated, they will also answer interpretation questions posted in advance on Blackboard, so as to prepare for class discussions; or prepare their own questions on the book section. These (answers or questions) will have to be kept by the student, to present in a portfolio in the end of the semester. 2. Participation: Your participation grade [undergraduates] reflects a number of items, such as volunteering answers, answering all questions when called on, cooperating in group and pair work, preparing all readings in advance, arriving timely to class. You will be asked to assess your participation and your instructor will give you feedback on your self-assessment and provide his own assessment. 3 3. Individual Presentations: Students will give one 10-minute presentation on a topic related to a class reading assignment for the day. Each student is expected to speak spontaneously (i.e., not read from a script but speak using a few notes) for about 5 minutes, and the presentation will be followed by a question/answer period also of about 5 minutes. These presentations should stem from research made by students; typically, students choose to present a scholarly article that is directly related to the reading of the day; students may choose these, or use recommendations by the professor (undergraduate students should seek the professor’s help in this). For this question/answer period, the presenter should prepare 2 questions for the class, so as to guide the discussion, and all colleagues are expected to ask at least 2 questions of other presenters during the semester. A sign-up sheet will be passed out on the first day of class, for students to choose the dates of their presentations. 4. Papers: All students will write 3 response papers on the literary works read, as per the dates in the detailed calendar, and a research final paper. Detailed guidelines about the format and evaluation of the papers are provided on Blackboard. Note that graduate students in the Spanish MA Spanish or Portuguese. For instructions on the MLA style, which will be required in papers, consult the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th Ed. New York: 2009). For a fast reference, consult the online resources available at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ 5.

Your cooperation is appreciated. 4. Usage and Style of Email Messages: Learning how to write polite and professional e-mail messages in Portuguese is considered an integral part of the course. Therefore only emails written in Portuguese according to the style requirements explained below will be answered (students in the Spanish MA can of course write in Spanish or English). All emergency messages written in English will of course be given full attention. Your instructor will check his e-mail messages once every workday; hence, you can expect an answer from him between 24 and 48 hours after you have sent him an email (except for weekends). Take this opportunity to learn the courteous greeting and salutation expressions in Portuguese that are adequate to the recipient of your message, as described below: Choose an appropriate subject heading that describes the content of your email.

  • 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..

  • A Preface to a Theory of Art-Fear in Brazilian Literature
    http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8026.2012n62p341 A PREFACE TO A THEORY OF ART-FEAR IN BRAZILIAN LITERATURE Julio França Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro Luciano Cabral da Silva Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro Abstract There is no tradition in the study of horror in Brazilian literature; with Álvares de Azevedo”s tales of Noite na Taverna generally considered as the only example of Gothic, terror or horror narrative quoted in literary history. This article aims to demonstrate that there are several works in Brazilian literature which could be classified as “fear literature”—a fictional narrative that produces “artistic fear”. In fact, some of the most important Brazilian authors, including Machado de Assis, Bernardo Guimarães, Aluísio Azevedo, Inglês de Souza, João do Rio, Humberto de Campos and Coelho Neto, penned works in the macabre during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, critics were either unable to identify them as works of horror or paid no attention to an area of fiction in which social problems were not realistically represented. Therefore, research in this field must first identify the basic characteristics Ilha do Desterro Florianópolis nº 62 p. 341- 356 jan/jun 2012 342 Julio França e Luciano Cabral da Silva, A preface to a Theory of Art... of fictional horror in our country.

  • 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.
