RESUMONeste artigo aproximamos a infância, o espaço e o tempo através da literatura e da filosofia. Partimos da leitura que Bakhtin faz das obras de François Rabelais, no contexto do realismos grotesco, e do conceito de cronotopo aí formulado. Bakhtin constrói uma perspectiva filosófica de espaço-tempo aberto e coletivo, de liberdade e criação. A literatura de Manoel de Barros, por sua vez, materializa um cronotopo, afirmando uma visão de mundo e de homem no embate entre sentidos e valores. Chegamos ao entendimento de que os poemas de Barros possuem uma estética particular que se aproxima daquela analisada por Bakhtin. É regida por uma relação espaço-temporal que trabalha com a infância associada à criação, envolvendo o espaço-tempo do inútil e da contemplação, o rebaixamento do olhar, o renascimento e a produção de vizinhanças entre elementos heterogêneos.

This article argues that a Russian analytical paradigm of carnival culture can help explain the successful presidential campaign of President Donald J. Trump. Russian philosopher and literary critic Mikhail Bakhtin developed the notion of carnival culture while analyzing Francois Rabelais’ work and its connection to the popular culture of Renaissance. Carnival ethos stood in opposition to the ‘official’ and ‘serious’ church sanctioned and feudal culture, by bringing out folklore and different forms of folk laughter that Bakhtin denoted as carnival. Carnival culture with its opposition to the official buttoned-up discourse is supposed to be polar opposite, distinguished by anti-ideology and anti-authority, in other words, anti-establishment – the foundation of Trump’s appeal to his voters. This article examines the core characteristics of carnival culture that defined Trump’s presidential campaign from the start.

According to the theory of Mikhail Bakhtin, the carnival of the Middle Ages and Renaissance played a significant role in medieval culture because it permitted the expression of the carnival spirit, a fundamental tendency of humanity that was hidden from public view in daily activities. In contrast with the ordinary life of mankind, the carnival world was a “second world” and “upside-down world” where laws, social structure, and religious authority ceased to exist. It was a place for unadulterated passion where free and familiar contact between individuals and exceptional creativity promoted the formation of new modes of communication and personal relationships. The expression of carnival spirit was necessary for the survival of humanity such that, upon the demise of the carnival, the same passionate desires of the carnival were transferred to the domain of literature and art. Through an examination of menippean literature, as well as the collective works of Francois Rabelais and Fyodor Dostoevsky, this article provides extensive support in favor of the carnival’s influence on literary works that surrounded the demise of the carnival in popular culture.

Barrels roll. In a mythological, folk, or literary text, they set off a reciprocal dynamic of emptying out and filling in. Where Diogenes filled his barrel with his own cynical self, Francois Rabelais removed him, then poured back in the wine drained off to accommodate his asceticism. On the basis of this example, Mikhail Bakhtin demonstrates the need to re-embody the disembodied; in connection with the folk laughter that replenishes the hollow chill of mortality, he notes that Rabelais celebrated the “cheerful death” of the Duke of Clarence in a barrel full of malmsey. In Vladimir Propp’s analysis of myth, folktales, and initiation rites, barrels stand in for the bellies of great fish; these swallow and then regurgitate the hero, supplying in the interim “temporary death,” mystic instruction, and the makings of a leader or a savior of the people. It is in an ocean-going barrel that Aleksandr Pushkin’s Prince Gvidon, condemned to an infant death, grows “not by days, but by hours” (“Skazka o tsare Saltane” [Tale of Tsar Saltan, 1831]), repeating the pattern of reversals in birth dreams, through exposure on the water and entombment in womb-like receptacles, studied by Otto Rank. Il'ia Erenburg’s apostle of absolute and universal negation had planned to start his mission by crossing the Atlantic in a beer barrel (Julio Jurenito, 1922). The dual or schizophrenic narrator of Sasha Sokolov’s Shkola dlia durakov (School for fools, 1976), though otherwise anonymous, is moved to fill his mentor’s barrel with his own singular name.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo expor como o corpo é apresentado na obra do filósofo russo Mikhail Bakhtin, em especial nos textos O autor e a personagem na atividade estética e Cultura popular na Idade Média e no Renascimento: O contexto de François Rabelais. Nesses textos, Bakhtin apresenta o corpo como objeto ideologicamente saturado, quando submetido a movimentos axiológicos da relação entre sujeitos. Esse corpo, possuidor de valor axiológico, depende do outro para se estabelecer esteticamente e pode, na atividade estética, tornar-se manifestação de duas consciências não coincidentes, bem como se apresentar como uma visão de mundo historicamente situada.

The aim of this article is to bring together two of René Despestre’s novels, Le Mât de cocagne (1979) and Hadriana dans tous mes rêves (1988), and place them within the tradition of the carnivalesque as it was discussed by Mikhail Bakhtin in L’œuvre de François Rabelais et la culture populaire au Moyen Âge et sous la Renaissance. By taking into account this wider perspective, I intend to show that the presence of a diegetic spectacle reinforces the subversive value of the two works by including a moment of utopian relief that invites both the characters and the readers to engage in a fight for freedom.

Por paralelismo com o conceito de pós-moderno seria possível pensar o conceito de pós-antigo? Este último termo é usado de maneira rápida por Mikhail Bakhtin em sua análise da obra de François Rabelais, ao reportar-se a Antiguidade tardia. Para além do recorte histórico incluso no termo, pode-se perceber uma tentativa de uso conceitual que revela uma atitude crítica em relação ao conhecimento da Antiguidade. O presente texto propõe-se justamente avançar, a partir das categorizações propostas pela pós-modernidade, o proto-conceito bakhtiniano, especialmente no que concerne às questões da originalidade, do lugar do saber teórico e dos usos da tradição.
