Abstract

This thesis concerns the study of the first phase and part of the second phase of the literary work of Louis-Ferdinand Céline. This study unfolds both in the form of essays that aim to demonstrate the principles and discontinuities of these phases of Céline's work (first unit of the thesis), and in the translation exercise of some of his texts, namely: Carnet du cuirassier Destouches; Des Vagues; Guignol’s band I and Féerie pour une autre fois I (second unit of the thesis). Analytical essays and translations were constituted gradually and at the same time, in a reciprocal effort to reflect on Céline's language while the language itself reflected and metamorphosed (both from French to Portuguese, and within the Portuguese language itself). The specular game of the meta-sign and metamorphic pullulations tend to point, however, to the intertwining of sonorous dimensions and the predominance of the allegory of the danse macabre. The central thesis defended is that Céline's style is marked by metamorphoses and, however, concomitantly, such transformations are traversed by two underlying principles, musicality and death. From this point of view, it should be noted, finally, two corollaries: Céline’s style is part of a French literary tradition that favors musicality and rhythm in writing, as well as the mortuary category as an aesthetic value; Céline creates a language that actualises musical and mortuary values in an unprecedented way (both from the perspective of literary history and from within his own literary work) (AU)
