You have chosen a challenging, but rewarding path. This course is for students with intellectual curiosity, a strong work ethic, and a desire to learn.

  • The Women of José Saramago
    KWARTALNIK NEOFILOLOGICZNY, LIX, 4/2012 WOJCIECH CHARCHALIS (POZNAŃ) THE WOMEN OF JOSÉ SARAMAGO This article presents the manner in which female characters are depicted in José Saramago’s no- vels. Two perspectives are assumed in analysing female protagonists. One of them involves asking how the author presents his women characters, who they are; reflecting upon their social status, values they represent or their features of personality. The other consists in analysing the role of fe- male characters in narrative structure. The starting point is the assumption that throughout his life Saramago apparently writes one and the same novel, whose structure is presented below. Then it is concluded that the female character is essential to the structure. Also female and male protagonists from selected Saramago’s books are compared to determine the relationship between them, as well as the background of the relation. The 1998 Nobel Prize Presentation Speech described José Saramago as one of those writers who seem to invent new worlds and styles in every book they write (K. Espmark 1998). And as much as we honour the great Nobel Prize win- ner, it is fair to say that the referenced statement is not absolutely accurate. In fact, I suppose it cannot be totally accurate when used to describe the work of any writer. Because every person who creates, actually presents – in this way or another – herself or himself, her or his own yearnings, desires, obsessions. The creator is a master, the God of all creation, who shapes the protagonists in the likeness and image of his or her own self, and cuts them from the available cloth of own experience, prejudice, world view or set of values.

In the 1950s he was sacked for political activity and began writing ex- tremely prolifically. Some of his stories were directly critical of the Salazar regime.

    International Journal of Language and Literature December 2017, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 72-78 ISSN: 2334-234X (Print), 2334-2358 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijll.v5n2a7 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijll.v5n2a7 Raising Social Awareness in Saramago´s Novels Raquel Baltazar1 & Rita Amorim2 Abstract: José Saramago‟s works depict an unfinished and dormant modernity and contribute to a better understanding of the contemporary world, through a local spatiality which soon becomes a social discourse. As stated by the Swedish Academy, Saramago creates “parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony [that] continually enables us once again to apprehend an elusory reality". The universal theme of social identity does not suppress the historical reference, though it emphasizes the consequences of modernity as a decisive factor for the transformation of the global identity. The questioning of the paradigms of social evolution is associated with the absence of human justice, as well as the exploitation and domination of the modern subject through the decrease of freedom, the psychological imprisonment and ideological alienation. Keywords: José Saramago, social identity, social awareness, Nobel Prize, modernity, literature “talvez o romance possa restituir-nos essa vertigem suprema, o alto e extático canto de uma humanidade que ainda não foi capaz, até hoje, de conciliar-se com a sua própria face.” (Saramago 1994: 212-213) “maybe the novel
