This article presents a proposal for the elaboration of an RPG game with board support based on the remediation of literary narratives and which is thought both for use in the classroom, as a didactic tool, but understood essentially as a playful activity. For that, we first start an observation about the act of playing and what it means in society and in linguistic terms. Subsequently, we are concerned with defining what a game is so that we can effectively present the proposal. To better exemplify it, we present as an example the remediation of Arthurian legends from Le Morte d’Arthur, by Thomas Malory, a project that we have previously tested. The discussion about the behaviour of games then runs through authors such as Johan Huizinga (1980) and Jesper Juul (2005).

Nossa inquirição almejou compreender como foi construída a noção de cavalaria presente no texto literário Le Morte D’Arthur, redigido por Sir Thomas Malory por volta de 1495. Como o título sugere, por se tratar de uma narrativa sobre “Rei Arthur”, nosso primeiro passo foi compreender como essa figura foi construída entre a Antiguidade e o Medievo. Cruzamos as investigações sobre “Rei Arthur” com uma breve caracterização do fenômeno da “cavalaria” em seu contexto histórico, algo que fizemos a partir dos trabalhos de George Duby1, Jean Flori2 e Dominique Barthélemy3. Nossa revisão bibliográfica dividiu-se em três momentos distintos: I) referências sobre Malory e sua identidade (em disputa); II) contexto da Inglaterra durante a vida do autor; III) estudos acadêmicos que aproximam a imagética e o simbolismo em torno da figura do Rei Arthur com o Santo Graal e a cavalaria. Tal incursão nos permitiu visualizar como essa cavalaria que aparece na literatura de Malory estava fundada na confluência dos eixos: marcialidade; corte e sacralidade, reagindo a estes de forma crítica. Trata-se de uma cavalaria difusa que nos oferece um enquadramento para compreender como contradições, conflitos e tensões sociais do período reverberavam sobre a literatura. O núcleo disso aparece dentro da literatura de Malory na forma do Juramento do Pentescostes.

Este artigo discute a presença, na história em quadrinhos (HQ) Camelot 3000 (1983-85) de temas oriundos da literatura medieval, particularmente do romance de cavalaria Le Morte d’Arthur, de Thomas Malory, que a HQ em parte continua e em parte adapta. Busca-se demonstrar como as escolhas envolvidas nessa adaptação servem a um discurso duplamente alicerçado: de um lado, forças diabólicas oriundas do medievo se amalgamam aos problemas de um apocalíptico ano 3000, como campos de concentração e uso abusivo da ciência, de modo a constituírem um bloco maléfico claramente discernível; contrapõem-se a este, de outro lado, aspectos heróicos e miraculosos da Idade Média. Discute-se, então, como o discurso daí produzido apresenta, nostalgicamente, o retorno à Idade Média como solução para os males do presente, do qual o futuro distante da HQ não é mais que um espelho.

Genealogical inquiries as a rule are interesting only to historians or to enthusiasts, but a special interest attaches to the inquiry which is the subject of this paper, inasmuch as it claims to throw some light on the identity of the author of the Morte d'Arthur.

This introduction surveys the rise of the history of emotions as a field and the role of the arts in such developments. Reflecting on the foundational role of the arts in the early emotion-oriented histories of Johan Huizinga and Jacob Burkhardt, as well as the concerns about methodological impressionism that have sometimes arisen in response to such studies, the introduction considers how intensive engagements with the arts can open up new insights into past emotions while still being historically and theoretically rigorous. Drawing on a wide range of emotionally charged art works from different times and places—including the novels of Carson McCullers and Harriet Beecher-Stowe, the private poetry of neo-Confucian Chinese civil servants, the photojournalism of twentieth-century war correspondents, and music from Igor Stravinsky to the Beatles—the introduction proposes five ways in which art in all its forms contributes to emotional life and consequently to emotional histories: first, by incubating deep emotional experiences that contribute to formations of identity; second, by acting as a place for the expression of private or deviant emotions; third, by functioning as a barometer of wider cultural and attitudinal change; fourth, by serving as an engine of momentous historical change; and fifth, by working as a tool for emotional connection across communities, both within specific time periods but also across them. The introduction finishes by outlining how the special issue's five articles and review section address each of these categories, while also illustrating new methodological possibilities for the field.

In 1920, the native Slovenian lands of southern Carinthia were included into the Austrian Republic, and the Slovenian population fell under the jurisdiction of the state, the official language of which was German. Under these conditions, literature in the native language became an important factor in the resistance against assimilation for the Carinthian Slovenes. However, decades later, the national protective function of the artistic word gradually came to naught. The contemporary literature of the Slovenian minority in Austria is a special phenomenon combining national and polycultural components and having two cultural and historical contexts, two identities - Slovenian and Austro-German. In aesthetic, thematic, linguistic terms, this literature is so diverse that it no longer fits into a literature of a national minority, and can no longer be automatically assigned to only one of the two literatures - Slovenian or Austrian. A variety of works, including proper Slovenian texts, hybrid bilingual forms, and compositions in German, of course, requires a new research methodology that would expand existing approaches and could cover the literary practice of those who create a panorama of Carinthian reality, which is in demand both in Slovenia and in Austria.
