{"title":"Simultaneous Past and Present in The Sea / Passado e Presente Simultâneos em The Sea","authors":"Lianghui Li","doi":"10.37389/abei.v22i1.3459","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37389/abei.v22i1.3459","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract: Time is complex in Banville’s novels in that they constantly feature tense switching, chronological confusion, and characters who are always casting a look back to the past for an escape from the present. In The Sea, Banville’s experimentation with tenses reflects his conception of time, particularly, the complex relationship between past and present. Part one of this article, focusing on Max’s childhood memory, examines how the blurring of the past and present selves, resulting from frequent tense switching and the notable use of the historical present, destabilizes the temporal gap between the narrator and the narrated within retrospective narration. Part two, concerning Max’s present, proposes to compare the portrayal of the present-day Cedars in the two parts of the novel, and proves the present to be elusive since Max’s experience is not contemporaneous with the time of narration. Drawing on Max’s various experiences of an alternative space, part three proceeds to argue that Max’s entire act of narration constructs a similar alternative space where past and present are engendered simultaneously. The dubious existence of the self in this alternative space suggests a defiance against the deictic center as I- herenow. Resumo: O tempo e complexo nos romances de Banville, pois constantemente apresentam mudanca de tempos verbais, confusao cronologica e personagens que estao sempre lancando um olhar para o passado para uma fugir do presente. Em O Mar, a experimentacao de Banville com tempos verbais reflete sua concepcao de tempo,  particularmente a complexa relacao entre passado e presente. A primeira parte deste artigo, ao enfocar a memoria infantil de Max, examina como o embacamento entre os “eus” do passado e do presente, como resultado da troca frequente de tempos verbais e do uso notavel do presente historico, desestabiliza a lacuna temporal entre o narrador e o narrado na narracao retrospectiva. A segunda parte, referente ao presente de Max, propoe comparar o retrato da familia atual, os Cedars, nas duas partes do romance e provar que o presente e ilusorio, pois a experiencia de Max nao e contemporânea ao tempo da narracao. Com base nas varias experiencias de Max de um espaco alternativo, a terceira parte argumenta que todo o ato de narracao de Max constroi um espaco alternativo semelhante, onde passado e presente sao gerados simultaneamente. A existencia duvidosa do eu neste espaco alternativo sugere um desafio contra o centro deitico como eu-aqui-agora.","PeriodicalId":29863,"journal":{"name":"EIGSE-A JOURNAL OF IRISH STUDIES","volume":"447 1","pages":"97-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77348444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This spiral is the hermeneutic process and concomitantly the movements of eternal recurrence in the oeuvre. In accordance with Nietzsche’s concept, these recurrences are not to be construed as returns of the identical. Rather, this ethic and aesthetic dimension in Banville is explicated as an attunement to the overall force of becoming. In agreement with Wallace Stevens’ poetics, Banville’s aesthetic is seen primarily as process. Through the immediate access to metacognition and reflection in the intentional act, Banville, through his protagonists, maintains a sense of wonder as hope in a fictional world often permeated by loss, melancholy and despair. This fictional trait is argued to have been there since the debut up to Banville’s more recent creative work.Resumo: A longa carreira de John Banville pode, evidentemente, ser vista convencionalmente de modo linear, contudo seria melhor se fosse vista como uma forma de espiral. Essa espiral representa o processo hermeneutico e, concomitantemente, os movimentos de recorrencia eterna na obra. De acordo com o conceito de Nietzsche, essas recorrencias nao devem ser interpretadas como retornos do identico. Em vez disso, essa dimensao etica e estetica em Banville e explicada como uma sintonizacao com a forca geral do devir. De acordo com a poetica de Wallace Stevens, a estetica de Banville e vista principalmente como processo. Por meio do acesso imediato a metacognicao e reflexao no ato intencional, Banville, atraves de seus protagonistas, mantem um sentimento de admiracao como esperanca em um mundo ficticio, muitas vezes permeado por perda, melancolia e desespero. Argumenta-se que esse traco ficcional esta presente desde a sua estreia ate a escrita mais recente de Banville.","PeriodicalId":29863,"journal":{"name":"EIGSE-A JOURNAL OF IRISH STUDIES","volume":"24 1","pages":"183-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83224477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other theorists such as Hoesterey and Dyer have redefined pastiche (and imitative textual practices) from the perspective of postmodern aesthetics and explored the way in which it resignifies previous artworks, as it is associated to an awareness of historicity. The aim of this article is to analyse Mrs Osmond (2017) by John Banville as an example of a postmodern pastiche that not only operates by correspondence or tribute in relation to The Portrait of a Lady (1881) by Henry James, but also as a novel where recontextualisation does create meaningful differences between the literary works involved. It is in this distance that Banville’s text unsettles traditional notions of pastiche and produces a more polyvalent effect as well as an expansion of the multiplicity already associated to his authorial figure. Resumo: Segundo Genette e Hutcheon, a parodia e transformacional em sua relacao com outros textos, enquanto o pastiche e imitativo. Outros teoricos como Hoesterey e Dyer redefiniram o pastiche (e praticas textuais imitativas) a partir da perspectiva da estetica pos-moderna e exploraram a maneira pela obras de arte anteriores sao ressignificadas, pois o pastiche esta associado a uma consciencia da historicidade.

Elements of what can be seen as Baudrillardean third-order simulation are readily discernible in Banville’s late work, but in his play Love in the Wars , at focus in this article, it is Baudrillard’s notion of a pre-Renaissance symbolic order – an age of “the rule,” not of “the roll of the dice” – that has proved a superior analytical tool. Resumo: O territorio ficticio e obscuro de John Banville sugere um mundo nietzschiano no qual as nocoes de verdade e realidade sao questionadas e em cujo centro a humanidade pode encontrar “um nada infinito”. Da visao sombria de Nietzsche, a mente se move rapidamente para o universo imaginado de Jean Baudrillard – talvez ainda mais sombrio – em que a simulacao e um “modo dominante de percepcao”. As ideias de Baudrillard estao em dialogo com as exploracoes textuais de John Banville acerca de um territorio de incerteza radical. Instâncias daquilo que pode ser reconhecido como simulacao da terceira ordem baudrillardiana sao facilmente discerniveis no trabalho tardio de Banville; contudo, em sua peca Love in the Wars , foco deste artigo, a nocao de Baudrillard sobre uma ordem simbolica pre-renascentista – uma era da “ordem”, nao do “acaso” – provou ser uma ferramenta analitica superior.","PeriodicalId":29863,"journal":{"name":"EIGSE-A JOURNAL OF IRISH STUDIES","volume":"36 1","pages":"75-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78041990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neo-Creole is a binding language, basically a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese, thought in terms of a utopia of Latin American brotherhood. Ideologically, it borders on Esperanto. This linguistic production is related to the cosmopolitan aspect of Buenos Aires, a multilingual city with a huge flow of immigrants in the first half of the twentieth century. His two great interlocutors in this invented language have been his wife Lita Cadenas, and Jorge Luis Borges, who wrote several conferences on the painter. Furthermore, this essay mentions the artist’s permanent inventive character: the duodecimal system instead of the decimal (1961 = 1775), the influence of the Kabbalah on his paintings (the pan trees), as well as an impulse to permanent change, the never definitive, fruit of a permanent desire for correction and perfection.

O neo-crioulo e uma lingua vinculativa, basicamente uma mistura do espanhol e do portugues, pensada em termos de uma utopia da confraternizacao latino-americana.
