Insight Into

Raymond Carver’s work provides the opportunity for a spiritual reading. The article that offers the greatest insight into spirituality is William Stull’s “Beyond Hopelessville: Another Side of Raymond Carver.” In it we can notice the darkness which is dominant in Carver’s early works with the optimism that is an essential part of Carver’s work “Cathedral”. A careful reading of “A Small Good Thing” and “The Bath” can give the idea that they are based on the allegory of spiritual rebirth which can be interpreted as a “symbol of Resurrection”. Despite Stull’s insisting in Carver’s stories allusions based on the Bible, it cannot be proved that the writer has made use of Christian imagery. Therefore, it can be concluded that spirituality in Carver’s work is one of the most confusing topics so far in the literary world because on one hand literary critics find a lot of biblical elements and on the other hand Carver himself refuses to be analyzed as a Christian writer.

O presente trabalho tem como propósito discutir a utilização da metáfora como elemento que propulsiona todo o arco dramático presente no conto “Catedral”, de Raymond Carver. O foco proposto tem como intuito desconstruir estereótipos quanto à caracterização de personagens com deficiência visual, através da transformação sofrida pelo protagonista do conto, que traz consigo uma visão altamente preconceituosa sobre pessoas cegas. A metodologia adotada procurou valorizar, em um primeiro momento, as categorias gerais do conto – narrador, personagens e conflitos –, para, em um segundo momento, focalizar a relevância da metáfora. Para tanto, refletimos sobre o desenvolvimento do potencial sensível e afetivo entre os personagens; os diferentes meios discursivos utilizados para a materialização de uma experiência afetiva partilhada; e as diversas maneiras como a ficção pode alterar ou complementar a compreensão da realidade e da experiência humana. Para a elaboração desta pesquisa, foi realizado um estudo que compreende as funções metafóricas em diversas esferas da sociedade, bem como seu uso e suas qualidades exploradas em textos literários, através de livros e ensaios de teóricos da literatura e do cinema como Viktor Chklovski, Patricia Waugh, Jorge Luis Borges, Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr. e Jean-Claude Carrière. As reflexões aqui elaboradas apontam para um poder importante da metáfora como meio indispensável para a compreensão da subjetividade, sobretudo por desconstruir formas convencionais de comportamento, rompendo com perspectivas pré-concebidas e apresentando novas possibilidades de engajamento afetivo.

Linguistic Behaviour

Many people, like the protagonist of Dorothy Parker’s short story “Too Bad,” wonder “what did married people talk about, anyway, when they were alone together?” Raymond Carver’s short story “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” is the literary rendition of the ways in which married couples talk. This essay analyses this short story taking into account sociolinguistic aspects related to men’s and women’s linguistic behaviour and the speech strategies each gender uses, so as to explore if these characters accurately reflect real life speech patterns or not.

This chapter surveys literary and theoretical representations pairing blindness and visual art. Jacques Derrida observes that when visual artists depict blindness they are in fact making reference to their own artistic process. The chapter examines fiction by Rudyard Kipling, Wilkie Collins, Raymond Carver, Lorrie Moore, Hilary Norman, Paul Auster, Tracy Chevalier, and others. While many of these representations follow the contours of the Hypothetical Blind Man, some authors use depictions of blindness to posit the power of language to capture the ephemeral nature of the visual. Authors update the stock character of the blind seer to offer readers a mirror image of themselves.
