The history of Creative Writing in Brazil is recent. The country may have many successful authors, some of them internationally recognised but, before 2006, there were no academic courses. Writing instruction came mostly from independent workshops. It was in that year that the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) offered students the opportunity to write original creative work as their Master’s degree dissertation in Literary Theory. This first experience led to the establishment of the Creative Writing concentration (joining Literary Theory and Linguistics) in postgraduate courses; but it was only in 2016 that the first Creative Writing undergraduate programme was created. This pioneering work has been a valuable experience, deeply influenced by the development of the field in foreign countries, and has been changing the academic outlook for Creative Writing in Brazil. This article is a reflection on Creative Writing as an academic field in Brazil, and the related challenges, consequences, connections and perspectives for the future.

Abstract:This article analyses the results of the second stage of the research Creative Writing in Academia: the writer’s education, developed since 2015 at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) Graduate Program in Letters. The general objective is to verify the curricular structure and the teaching conditions offered by the Masters and Doctoral courses focusing on the education of writers and researchers in the area of Creative Writing at PUCRS. At this stage, we sought to ascertain the students’ perceptions about the modules and methodological procedures adopted in the course, aiming at a better development of these proposals, as well as to point out ways for a wider implantation of Creative Writing in Brazil. Keywords: Creative Writing; Higher Education; Graduate Studies; PUCRS; Brazil.

Steven Universo (2013-2019) é uma animação criada por Rebecca Sugar para o canal Cartoon Network, com mais de 150 episódios de dez minutos cada. O time de produção da série diz que há cuidado para que os cenários mostrem, com suas cores, linhas (e ausência delas), iluminação e composição, lugares vivos que o espectador entenda como mais do que apenas um pano de fundo para a ação. Neste trabalho, discutiremos o contraste entre as ambientações de dois episódios - Libertador e A resposta - nos quais aparecem cenários associados ao Planeta Natal e à Terra, enquanto seguimos momentos decisivos da união amorosa das personagens Rubi e Safira. Fazendo uso da Narratologia (Bal), assim como de estudos de quadrinhos (McCloud) e de teorias de cores e design (Lupton e Phillips), pretende-se demonstrar a maneira como os cenários integram a narrativa, já que a ambientação muda completamente dependendo do estado emocional das personagens e sua percepção sobre o local onde se encontram. Além disso,...

Bueno offers a discussion on how geek culture is found in literature, in an effort to expand the critical analysis of this topic beyond its presence in television and movies. Using examples from various literary works and drawing from concepts such as intertextuality, paratextuality and hypertextuality, Bueno explores the nature of geeks and nerds and how they are found in novels such as Junot Díaz’sThe Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. The term Geek Metafiction, therefore, applies to the kind of literature where geek culture plays a central role.

Resumo: Explorando o conceito de “voz na ficção”, o artigo de D.W. Wilson reflete sobre suas possíveis interpretações, focando principalmente na voz-enquanto -falada e na voz-enquanto-escrita. Além desses dois conceitos, mais abrangentes, há a voz do escritor, que lê o texto; a simulação da voz falada do escritor, presente
no artigo escrito; a voz que escutamos na mente, ao ler um texto em silêncio; e a voz enquanto estilo ou identidade do texto, geradora da intimidade entre literatura e leitor. Acompanhando o ensaio, Bernardo Bueno oferece uma nota introdutória sobre o contexto histórico e pessoal do artigo, e também sobre o processo da tradução da voz, como complemento do artigo original de Wilson.
Abstract: Exploring the concept of “voice in fiction”, D.W. Wilson’s essay reflects on its possible interpretations, focusing primarily on voice-as-spoken and voice-as-written. Beyond these broad concepts, there is the writer’s voice, who is reading the text; the simulation of the writer’s spoken voice, manifested on the written essay; the voice we listen to in our minds, when we read a text; and the voice as style, as the text’s identity, generating intimacy between literature and reader. Complementing the essay, Bernardo Bueno offers an introductory note on the historical and personal context surrounding the essay, and notes on the process of translating “voice”.

Resumo: Durante o PhD em Escrita Criativa na University of East Anglia, no Reino Unido, eu escrevi o romance Legendary days. Essa obra – e o texto teórico que a acompanhava – inspirava-se muito na cultura geek, que pode ser definida, em termos gerais, como a subcultura dos geeks (pessoas inteligentes, com pouca habilidade social e interesse obsessivo por determinados temas e gêneros como, por exemplo, tecnologia, fantasia e ficção científica). Este artigo apresenta a tradução inédita de trechos de Legendary days, escritos originalmente em inglês, e algumas notas introdutórias sobre seu processo criativo.
Abstract: During the PhD in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia (UK), I wrote the novel Legendary days. This novel – and the critical piece that preceded it – was heavily inspired by Geek culture, which can be defined, in general terms, as the subculture of geeks (smart people with poor social skills and obsessive interest in certain themes and genres, such as technology, fantasy and science fiction). This article presents an unpublished translation of excerpts of Legendary days into Portuguese, and some introductory notes on the creative process.
