Tragédia e narrativa: considerações teóricas

Introduction

Tragédia e narrativa: considerações teóricas. Artigo explora tragédia e narrativa sob óticas teóricas. Analisa Lukács (Hegel) e Frye (Aristóteles), aplicando essa crítica a gêneros de massa como o faroeste.

Abstract

O artigo contribui na discussão sobre narrativas explorando duas tradições de crítica. Por um lado, expõe-se os argumentos que definem a contribuição que retoma a abordagem hegeliana sobre o tema da tragédia, recorrendo em específico à contribuição de Lukács. Isso permite uma discussão aplicada a um gênero da cultura de massa, o faroeste. Por outro, o debate se desdobra em direção à contribuição de Frye, e na maneira como tal autor retoma, a seu modo, uma inspiração que recupera Aristóteles.

Review

The article "Tragédia e narrativa: considerações teóricas" proposes a timely and relevant exploration of the intricate relationship between tragedy and narrative, grounded in a comparative analysis of critical traditions. The abstract indicates a sophisticated theoretical endeavor, aiming to enrich the ongoing discourse on narrative forms through a dual lens. This approach promises to offer a nuanced understanding of how tragic elements function within narrative structures across different theoretical paradigms, highlighting the enduring theoretical relevance of these concepts. A key strength lies in the article's strategic choice to engage with two distinct, yet complementary, critical lineages. By first delving into a Hegelian-Lukácsian perspective on tragedy and subsequently extending this inquiry to the work of Northrop Frye, who draws inspiration from Aristotle, the author establishes a robust comparative framework. This juxtaposition is particularly compelling as it allows for a rich discussion that spans from more dialectical and socio-historical interpretations of tragedy to more archetypal and structural understandings. The abstract's mention of applying the Hegelian-Lukácsian framework to the Western genre further highlights the article's ambition to move beyond purely theoretical exposition, offering a concrete instance of its critical utility in analyzing mass culture narratives. This theoretical undertaking holds significant potential for advancing critical conversations within literary theory, cultural studies, and even film studies, given the specific application to the Western genre. The article promises to be a valuable resource for scholars interested in the evolution of tragic thought, the dynamics of narrative forms, and the ways in which classical concepts are reinterpreted and applied to contemporary cultural products. By synthesizing these diverse critical traditions, the author appears to forge new pathways for understanding the enduring power of tragedy in shaping human narratives, both ancient and modern, presenting a contribution that is both intellectually rigorous and broadly engaging.
