Abstract(s)
Insere-se o presente estudo numa linha de investigação que tem vindo a ser desenvolvida, de forma intermitente, em torno da novela pastoril em Portugal. Desde cedo, este género literário foi com frequência relegado para a categoria das antigualhas livrescas de escasso interesse e proveito, devido, nomeadamente, à sua breve e discreta aparição no panorama nacional, ao considerável distanciamento histórico e idiossincrático que o aparta dos leitores hodiernos, e ainda, porventura, às ressonâncias culturais espanholas que insinua, num momento em que a assunção de tal vínculo não resultou, para vários historiadores da literatura portuguesa, muito grata. O seu estudo diligente impõe-se, todavia, e não deve ser encarado enquanto mero acto de caridade erudita, mas como um acto de justiça para com um acervo textual que quantitativa e qualitativamente justifica a atenção que se lhe possa dispensar.
Nas páginas que se seguem, será abordado o tratamento narrativo que nestes textos se concede ao tema do amor, bem como as problemáticas de índole estética, ideológica e epistemológica que para ele confluem e nele se intersectam. Urge a reconsideração de uma vasta panóplia de questões, que vão desde a reelaboração ficcional à qual são submetidos materiais literários e ideológicos precedentes (tais como o amor cortês, o petrarquismo ou o neo-platonismo florentino), passando pela articulação entre um difuso aparato de conceitos acerca do amor e a sua concretização narratológica, até à subtil interrogação retórica endereçada, por diversas vias, à validade de tais conceitos e dos substratos que os compõem, num âmbito ficcional que se encontra já a uma distância considerável das convenções matriciais das quais deflui.
Em compromisso com os tópicos de análise enunciados, o trabalho que aqui se propõe terá como escopo último a abertura de uma discussão mais ampla, que envolva a investigação e o questionamento de múltiplas outras vertentes deste género polifacetado.
This study picks up a line of intermittent research that has been conducted on the Portuguese pastoral novel. Long since has this literary genre often been relegated to the category of bookish antiques, displaying little interest or benefit. Three factors might be pointed out as responsible for such an attitude: in the first place, its short-lived and subtle appearence in the national literary panorama; secondly, the considerable historic and idiosyncratic distance that separates it from nowadays readers; and finally, perhaps, the Spanish cultural resonances it suggests, at a time when the assumption of such a bond did not please some scholars. Nevertheless, its diligent study is imperative, and should not be regarded as a mere act of intellectual charity, but as an act of justice towards a literary legacy which, for both quantitative and qualitative reasons, deserves all the attention it could be tributed with. This study will focus on the fictional treatment which is assigned, throughout the corpus, to the theme of love, as well as the intersections of the aesthetic, ideological and epistemological issues that it suggests. We shall reconsider a significant number of questions, ranging from the fictional re-elaboration to which precedent literary and ideological materials (such as courtly love, Petrarchism or Florentine Neoplatonism) are submitted, to the articulation between a set of scattered concepts about love and its narrative concretization, and also to the subtle rhetorical question concerning the validity of such concepts and their compounding substrates, within a fictional frame that projects itself considerably beyond the conventional roots from which it sprouts. While assuming a compromise with the research lines previously mentioned, this thesis will aim at starting a broader discussion, that might eventually involve the investigation of other matters concerning this manifold genre.
