| Abstract | |
This dissertation consists of a study about Bacchusia oder Fastnachtland (1677), wirtten by Christoph Andreas Hörl von Wattersdorf. At long the exposition, one discusses about Utopia (1640), a Thomas Morus¿s homonymous latin work, written in 1604 by Jakob Bidermann, german jesuit and future inquisitor of the Catholic Church in Rome, that served as a base for the later composition of Hörl. This dissertation proposed to investigate, as far as possible, under what circumstances Hörl has made contact with the Utopia and became interested in it; and also the possible definitions of Bacchusia oder Fastnachtland as a paraphrases, plagiarism, imitation or emulation of Bidermann¿s text. The investigation of the historical circumstances in which the works were published and the available biographies of the authors allowed one to present this critical study. For the understanding of the works, it was necessary to investigate also some of its literary characteristics, its possible insertion in the utopian literary genre, among other elements. The study of the configurations, meanings and effects of Carnival ando f the grotesque, as well as the function occupied by the grotesque in the religious pedagogy, inserted in the Trentine Culture; the story of laughter in the seventeenth century; The Thirty Years' War; and some recurrent topoi in the German Baroque literature were essential for the composition of this dissertation. The translation of Bacchusia oder Fastnachtland, in its turn, proposes to serve as a support to this study, as well as attempts to disseminate, in Portuguese idiom, a work that is forgotten in Germany and completely unknown in Brazil, and which is a product of this complex and antithetical time, that is the German baroque (AU) | |
