Pinto de Aguiar em hipertexto: leituras filológicas de um ensaio autobiográfico

Abstract

[Uma época, uma vida, na Bahia: 1928/1962], [Academia de Letras: presente e passado] and the Discurso do recipiendário Manoel Pinto de Aguiar are distinct testemonials which integrate the tradition of a transdisciplinar and philological study that searched to understand the process of production and circulation of each of those pieces of works and also the materiality of the transmissions after the destitution of hierarchy in realtion with each other. In these circumstances, it is intended to edit, i.e., to prepare the texts for a publication in order to highlight the meanings of the texts through a philological and plural criticism. For the effectivity of the study, we built facsimiles of the tradition, we estabilshed the editions, the transcriptions and offered the synoptic confrontation and conjectures about the textual moves found. Then, we joined all the procedures and the information and experiences from the editorial practices so we presented them in a hypertext file, which can show, such as a web, the dimension and all the details of the work done. During the edition work and the transciption work, we observed that bibliographical and linguistic artfacts brought by the constitution of each text, held different peculiarities and they were worthy for understanding the fact that they brought diverse intetntions linked to the historical context when they were produced: the impressed material meant the reproduction of the speech of accedence presented for the Academy of Letters of Bahia-Brazil and, obcetively, it depicted the multiple intelectual man related to the his place in erudition. The dactylographic texts characterized by an exhaustive ans intimate tone, sought to show life experiences, personal readings and the references that built the erudite, through an autopbigraphical narative made for later publication.
