Câmara escura ou a captação simbólica do interdito na obra O fotógrafo e a rapariga de Mário Cláudio / Dark chamber or the symbolic capture of the interdict  in the work The photographer and the girl of Mário Cláudio

Resumo: Neste texto faz-se uma análise interpretativa da novela de Mário Cláudio O fotógrafo e a rapariga, partindo dos vários símbolos poéticos usados pelo escritor para exprimir o interdito. Demonstramos como a natureza dúplice e dissimuladora do símbolo poético atenua o choque e mitiga a obscenidade, ao mesmo tempo que obriga o leitor a uma desautomatização do juízo ético, forçando-o a alargar o seu campo de análise e de interpretação, abrindo o seu olhar a novas perspetivas. Salientamos também o modo como Mário Cláudio consegue questionar e transtornar os sagrados e estandardizados padrões éticos e culturais da sociedade em que se insere.Palavras-chave: Mário Cláudio; O Fotógrafo e a Rapariga; símbolos poéticos; o interdito.Abstract: In this text an interpretative analysis is made of the novel of Mário Cláudio The photographer and the girl, starting from the several poetic symbols used by the writer to express the interdict. We demonstrate how the dualistic and dissimulating nature of the poetic symbol attenuates shock and mitigates obscenity, forcing the reader simultaneously to a de-automation of the ethical judgment, forcing him to widen his field of analysis and interpretation, opening his eyes to new perspectives. We also emphasize how Mario Cláudio manages to question and upset the sacred and standardized ethical and cultural standards of the society in which he is inserted.Keywords: Mário Cláudio; The photographer and the girl; poetic symbols; the interdict.

Jane Austen is acknowledged for the application of realism and satire in her novels. This paper focuses on the analysis of realism and satire in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice; however, her entire oeuvre spotlights the features (of satire and realism) alongside robust feminism: typical of her literary taste and temperament, not necessarily of the Romantic Age which she lived in. Rigorous analysis and realistic observation reveals that the employment of realism and satire in Pride and Prejudice, are quite obvious, in all sorts of aspects including narrative, settings, themes and characters. Analysis of the novel under study leads to the observation that satire and realism go hand in hand in the said novel—intermittently—and thoughtfully. Conclusively, it is observed that Jane Austen’s literary life had a tremendous influence on how to subsume realism (primarily through matrimonies) of age and satire on a romantic society (whereby ideals collapse headlong), in Pride and Prejudice.

Game Of Thrones

The main women in George R. R. Martin's novel Game of Thrones, first published in 1996, and the adapted television series in 2011, are empowered female figures in a world dominated by male characters. Analyzing shifts in the characters’ portrayals between the two mediums conveys certain valences of the cultures for which they are intended. While in the novel the characters adhere to a different set of standards for women, the television series portrays these women as more sympathetic, empowered, and realistic with respect to contemporary standards. Using literary archetypes of queen, hero, mother, child, maiden and warrior and applying them to Cersei Lannister, Catelyn Stark, Arya Stark, Sansa Stark, and Daenerys Targeryen, provides a measure for the differences in their presentations. Through the archetypical lens, the shifts in societal and cultural standards between the novel and series’ airing reveal changing pressures and expectations for women. By reading the novel and watching the series with the archetypes in mind, the changes in gender norms from 1996 to 2011 becomes clear. The resulting shift shows the story’s changes in the realm of fantasy in relation to the American society that consumes it.
