Resumo: | The purpose of this paper is to outline the principles and methods that distinguish a postmodern literary work. The case study is based on the analysis of the stylistic tools used by Italo Calvino in his famous novel, If on a Winter's Night a Traveller, that turned this work into an example of postmodern literature. The theoretical fundaments are namely based on the concepts of postmodernism by Jean Baudrillard, Ihab Hassan, Matei Calinescu and David Damrosch. If on a Winter's Night a Traveller, written in a nonlinear narrative form, includes ten stylistically different stories that terminate suddenly at their climax. By means of postmodern tools, Calvino deconstructs a conceptual narrative, replacing it with a complex textual structure that is ambiguous and engaging at the same time. In this stylistic exercise Calvino exemplifies the models and types of the modern novel (from neorealism to surrealism, through fantasy and neo-avant-garde literature) and presents in a metanarrative form his conception of the novel as a combinatory game of words in which reality is replaced by the linguistic universe. A text would thus be the passage from the world of things to the world of words, from the living world to the verbal one; in short, from the unwritten world to the written world – as a literary place par excellence. |

O caso prático consiste na análise dos meios estilísticos utilizados por Italo Calvino, no seu romance Se Numa Noite de Inverno um Viajante, que transformaram esta obra num exemplo de literatura pós-moderna. A fundamentação teórica assenta, nomeadamente, nos conceitos sobre pós-modernismo de Jean Baudrillard, Ihab Hassan, Matei Calinescu e David Damrosch. O romance, escrito em forma de narrativa não linear, abrange dez histórias estilisticamente diferentes que terminam de repente no seu ponto culminante. Por meio das ferramentas pós-modernistas, Calvino desconstrói a narrativa conceitual, substituindo-a por uma estrutura textual complexa, ao mesmo tempo ambígua e cativante. Neste exercício de estilo, Calvino exemplifica quais são os modelos e os tipos do romance moderno (do neorrealismo ao surrealismo, passando pela literatura fantástica e neovanguardista) e apresenta, em forma de metanarrativa, a sua conceção de romance, enquanto jogo combinatório de palavras, em que a realidade é substituída pelo universo linguístico. Um texto seria, assim, a passagem do mundo das coisas, ao mundo das palavras, do mundo vivido, ao verbal; em suma, do mundo não-escrito ao mundo escrito – como lugar literário por excelência.Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto2019-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.vi19.3657https://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.vi19.3657POLISSEMA – ISCAP Journal of Letters; No. 19 (2019); 35-54POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; Núm. 19 (2019); 35-54POLISSEMA; No 19 (2019); 35-54POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; N.º 19 (2019); 35-542184-710X1645-1937reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/3657https://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/3657/1510Direitos de Autor (c) 2019 POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAPinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBaryshnikova Marques, YanaGumarães Ustimenko, Maria Helena2024-02-01T20:18:26Zoai:oai.parc.ipp.pt:article/3657Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:01:12.024751Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
