RESUMO

This essay stands about the yet little discussed subject, in the field of the intersemiotics studies, of the possible relations between two kinds of art said as âtemporalâ in the classic definition of Lessing: literature and music. Although they are closer, in this aspect, than the other arts known as âsistersâ, but âopponentsâ â literature and painting - , it can be verified that the comparative studies of the text and image overcome broadly the comparative studies of the text and music in the universe of the contemporary literary criticism. Therefore, this dissertation intends to contribute to diminish that gap, and at the same time illuminate some aspects yet obscure about the genesis of a novel exemplary intersemiotic and experimental: Avalovara, of the brazilian writer Osman da Costa Lins. As from the researches of Steven Paul Scher, revised by the professor Solange Ribeiro de Oliveira about Melopoetics â subject that intends to investigate the mutual illumination between the musicology and the literary studies â , we tried to analyze the possible homologies between the literary discourse and the musical discourse in Osman Linsâ narrative, considering three main aspects: 1. The quotation, in his novels, of works like the sonata K465, for harpsichord, of the 18th century Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti; and the cantata Catulli Carmina, of the 20th century German composer Carl Orff, which dialogues with the text of the old Roman poet Catulo (84-54 B.C.) in the construction process of a musical metaphor for the novel: the clock. 2 the creation of a musician character, the keyboardist and horologist Julius Heckethorn, supposedly based on the real biography of the serial German composer Anton Webern, in consonance with the composer character Adrian LeverkÃhn, of Thomas Mannâs Doctor Faust, based on the composer Schoenberg, creator of the twelve tone system. 3. the utilization of the same visual-literary metaphor - the Sator Square, created as from a palindrome â in the structural organization of Avalovara, the novel of Osman Lins, and in a composition of Anton Webern, the Nine instruments concert Op. 24; with the aim to discuss how those authors of different temporal arts tried to, each one in their environment but with similar resources, rethink the notion of time traditionally associated with the definition of these two artistic genres â literature and music â both aiming to rescue the notion of spatiality in their work
