Neste artigo analisamos as ações narrativas do romance A maçã envenenada (2013), de Michel Laub, para visualizar como o autor compõe no livro o elemento trágico, ou seja, a partir de eventos narrativos capazes de apontar para o aniquilamento do protagonista e enfatizar a exposição de um mundo desordenado. Para bem compreender o conceito de tragédia, utilizamos as concepções de tragédia moderna desenvolvidas por Raymond Williams, que vê na ação trágica o próprio conceito de revolução. Ademais, será apontada a admiração do protagonista pela postura romântica do cantor Kurt Cobain que recusa subordinar-se às normas desse mundo desordenado cometendo suicídio.

This book examines how the films of the Chinese Sixth Generation filmmaker Jia Zhangke evoke the affective “felt” experience of China’s contemporary social and economic transformations, by examining the class figures of worker, peasant, soldier, intellectual, and entrepreneur that are found in the films. Each chapter analyzes a figure’s socio-historical context, its filmic representation, and its recurring cinematic tropes in order to understand how they create what Raymond Williams calls “structures of feeling” – feelings that concretize around particular times, places, generations, and classes that are captured and evoked in art – and charts how this felt experience has changed over the past forty years of China’s economic reforms. The book argues that that Jia’s cinema should be understood not just as narratives that represent Chinese social change, but also as an effort to engage the audience’s emotional responses during this period of China’s massive and fast-paced transformation.

O presente artigo procura identificar na obra do cantor Luiz Gonzaga uma discussão implícita em torno da identidade nacional que passa pela abordagem da religiosidade popular presente no sertão do nordeste do Brasil. O trabalho consiste na análise de algumas músicas que refletem um imaginário cultural compartilhado nessa região, sobretudo pelos praticantes do catolicismo pertencentes a uma camada social mais baixa. Para evidenciar nossa hipótese utilizamos o conceito de estrutura de sentimento de Raymond Williams. A análise nos permite levantar a hipótese de que Luiz Gonzaga faz uso dos motivos da religiosidade popular nordestina como forma de reivindicar um projeto de nação que leve em conta uma estrutura de sentimentos popular e sertaneja.

Privileged Site

Images of landscape lie at the heart of nineteenth-century musical thought. From frozen winter fields, mountain echoes, distant horn calls, and the sound of the wind moving among the pines, landscape was a vivid representational practice, a creative resource, and a privileged site for immersion, gothic horror, and the Romantic sublime. As Raymond Williams observed, however, the nineteenth century also witnessed an unforeseen transformation of artistic responses to landscape, which paralleled the social and cultural transformation of the country and the city under processes of intense industrialization and economic development. This chapter attends to several musical landscapes, from the Beethovenian “Pastoral” to Delius’s colonial-era evocation of an exoticized American idyll, as a means of mapping nineteenth-century music’s obsession with the idea of landscape and place. Distance recurs repeatedly as a form of subjective presence and through paradoxical connections with proximity and intimacy.

This article invites us to return to the example of Raymond Williams, and his essay “the Culture of Nations” as a then timely — and continuingly relevant — intervention in the debates about nation and postcoloniality. In linking the categories of nation, “natio” and place, Williams attempts to show that — at least in the case of Britain — the identities in question are produced from complex, multiethnic, long-haul histories, irreducible to the superficial discourses of ethnic patriotism. His argument is at once a confrontation with racism and — more controversially — with liberalism, or at least that version of the latter which seeks to oppose the former in the name of purely abstract juridical “rights”.
