The parallel between the novels "Berlin Alexanderplatz" and "Grande Sertão: Veredas" was first drawn within the Brazilian literary criticism in a comment made by Davi Arrigucci Jr. With the intent of pursuing the discussion raised by the author, this article proposes a more detailed analysis of the elements which define both texts as representative works of the modern novel discourse. The analysis focuses on the movements which characterize the trajectories taken by the protagonists Franz Biberkopf and Riobaldo, with a view on the characters' transit in space, as well as emotionally, and also in regard to the transit that operates the narration within both novels. In this light, the article outlines the particularities which situate both novels within the tradition that associates them with the books "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" and "L’Éducation Sentimentale".
This article will provide a general look on modern literature as partially configured by medial history. It parts from the impact of Gutenberg’s invention on social differentiation and the romantic literary concepts, and then looks on photography as an important reference for the realistic aesthetics as well as the initial struggle of film against the domination of the traditional literary medium. It closes with a brief historical overview on what one may call precursors of the hyperlink in literary communication.
Unlike cultural studies and their tendency to read literary texts as epistemological discourses, the target of this study is to develop the potential of difference between fictional and non-fictional texts, in view of Heinrich von Kleist's novella "Die Verlobung in St. Domingo". In this perspective, not only does Kleist's text use colonialist, racist, historiographic discourses, but also explicitly deals with them from the very beginning. Colonialist dualism and individual encounter, racist stereotypes and narrative contingency, historiographic discourse and unexpected event are connected in a paradoxical manner. Although the discourse effects seem to prevail, the literary text asserts itself in the process of narration by undermining and challenging the power of the discourses.
Considering that the German dramatist Heiner Müller has treated several times the subject of the angel of history, this essay proposes a comparison between Müller’s first angel (Der glücklose Engel) from 1958 and the original “angel of history” (Engel der Geschichte), a seminal text written by Walter Benjamin in 1940. Benjamin’s work reflects the author’s thoughts on the corruption of history and the dangerous notion of progress. Müller’s angel, on the contrary, despite his beliefs in the destructive force of the history, sees the future in a positive perspective.
