Resumo(s)
Este projeto tem como enfoque a temática do pastoralismo americano. O ideal pastoral influencia, ainda hoje, a sociedade e a mentalidade americanas. São muitos os mitos e as contradições ligados a esse ideal e esta dissertação explora-os através do estudo e da análise de três escritores americanos contemporâneos: Philip Roth, Leslie Marmon Silko e Annie Proulx. De forma diferente, mas, ao mesmo tempo, complementar, estes escritores enfrentam e lidam com os mitos e os ideais americanos, tentando mostrar, desta forma, as fraquezas e as ambiguidades do pastoralismo americano e das promessas da América. Deste modo, eles contribuem para dar uma determinada imagem da América, a qual, embora pretenda ser crítica, acaba por não negar completamente o ideário americano.
This project focus on the topic of the American pastoralism. Nowadays, the pastoral ideal still influences the American framework of mind. Many are the myths and contradictions that come up from that ideal and this dissertation will attempt to analyze and depict them through the study of three contemporary American authors: Philip Roth, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Annie Proulx. These writers deal with American myths and ideals in a different, but also complementary way, trying, therefore, to show the weaknesses and contradictions of the American pastoralism and of the promises of America. In this way, they contribute to provide with a certain image of America, one which, in the end, although critical does not totally deny American idealism.
