Resumo(s)
A nossa investigação tem como objectivo a análise de Quo Vadis (1896), procurando conhecer o género literário, as temáticas do romance e as suas semelhanças com as fontes antigas. Dentro deste campo, focar-nos-emos em duas personagens de relevância histórica, sendo que as problemáticas que as envolvem são essenciais para compreender a sua função em Quo Vadis, numa analogia com a Polónia do séc. XIX: Nero, o imperador cuja reputação negativa tem persistido ao longo dos séculos, e Petrónio, o misterioso Arbiter Elegantiae. Devido à presença e função desta última figura, tal como a referência ao Satyricon, também se fará uma comparação entre os dois romances, tanto em temáticas como em géneros literários, de forma a observar se o autor polaco, na sua «demanda» pela construção de uma obra que criticasse a opressão russa na Polónia, foi ou não influenciado pela natureza satírico-moralista da obra petroniana. Tanto Quo Vadis como o Satyricon têm a particularidade de terem sido compostos em épocas de opressão política, tornando-se evidente a existência de questões semelhantes e exploradas nestes romances lúdico-didácticos: críticas sociais disfarçadas de narrativas de entretenimento. Desta forma, torna-se evidente a funcionalidade social, não só enquanto romances, mas também como ficção histórica e até «historiografia», numa continuidade da tradição satírico-crítica de Petrónio em Sienkiewicz e em outros autores do séc. XIX.
Our research aims to analyze Quo Vadis (1896), seeking to know the literary genre, the themes of the novel and its similarities with ancient sources. Within this field, we will focus on two characters of historical relevance, since the issues surrounding them are essential to understand their role in Quo Vadis, in an analogy with 19th century Poland: Nero, the emperor whose negative reputation has persisted through the centuries, and Petronius, the mysterious Arbiter Elegantiae. Due to the presence and function of this last figure, as well as the reference to the Satyricon, a comparison will also be made between the two novels, both in structure and in literary genres, in order to observe whether the Polish author, in his «quest» for the construction of a work that criticized Russian oppression in Poland, was or was not influenced by the satirical-moralistic nature of the Petronian work. Both Quo Vadis and Satyricon have the particularity of having been composed in times of political oppression, making it evident the existence of similar issues explored in these playful-didactic novels: social criticism disguised as entertainment narratives. In this way, the social functionality becomes evident, not only as novels, but also as historical fiction and even «historiography», in a continuity of the satirical-critical tradition of Petronius in Sienkiewicz and other authors of the 19th century.
