Esta tese tem como objectivo identificar e caracterizar uma técnica de
composição narrativa cuja estrutura e funcionamento se baseiam numa técnica
compositiva musical, o Leitmotiv wagneriano. Os autores e as obras escolhidas são
Richard Wagner (1813-1883) e a Tetralogia Der Ring des Nibelungen (1848-1874) e
Thomas Mann (1875-1955) e o seu primeiro romance Buddenbrooks (1901). Esta
investigação contextualiza o wagnerismo na recepção literária das obras teóricas e
musicais de Wagner em França no período finissecular. O pensamento sobre música
de Arthur Schopenhauer enquadra a análise de alguns textos fundamentais de
Friedrich Nietzsche para permitir uma melhor compreensão da recepção da obra do
compositor por Thomas Mann. A técnica do Leitmotiv em Der Ring des Nibelungen é
investigada ao nível da caracterização das personagens e dos efeitos sobre a
estruturação temporal da Tetralogia. Analisa-se ainda a melodia infinita e a voz da
orquestra para clarificar a influência wagneriana na técnica narrativa de Thomas Mann
em Buddenbrooks. O estudo do Leitmotiv em Buddenbrooks incide na caracterização
física e psicológica das personagens e na presentificação da acção. São ainda
estudadas outras estratégias narrativas, como a leitmotivisches Wort e a auto-citação.
A ligação entre Buddenbrooks e Der Ring des Nibelungen é estabelecida através do
comentário a estes processos compositivos.
The aim of this dissertation is to identify and to describe a narrative technique based on a musical technique, the wagnerian Leitmotiv.the authors and the works investigated are Richard Wagner (1813-1883) and the Tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen (1848-1874) and Thomas Mann (1875-1955) and his first novel Buddenbrooks (1901). Wagnerism is contextualized in the literary reception of Wagner’s music and theories in the late nineteen-century French literary movements. Arthur Schopenhauer’s ideas on music are discussed, as well as some of the fundamental critical texts on Wagner and Wagnerism by Friedrich Nietzsche so as to achieve a clear understanding of Wagner’s reception by Thomas Mann. The Leitmotiv technique in Der Ring des Nibelungen is studied in its relation to the definition of the characters and the effects on the time structure of the Tetralogy. The infinite melody and the orchestra’s voice are also studied to enable a deeper perception of the influence of Wagner on the narrative techniques used by Thomas Mann in Buddenbrooks. The study of the Leitmotiv in Buddenbrooks is focused on the physical and psychological definition of the characters and on the Vergegenwärtigung effect. Two other narrative strategies, the leitmotivisches Wort and self-citation are taken into account. The relationship between Der Ring des Nibelungen and Buddenbrooks is developed along the discussion of those narrative techniques.
