Full textSince the emergence of the New Wave phase, the narratives of the sci-fi genre contained symbolic significance as an allegory to our status as humans. Advanced technological constructions, non-humans and dystopian worlds began to play a deeper role than they traditionally were by being merely striking visual elements in the eyes of the viewer. In both literary works and films of the genre, a series of complaints of power control, class struggle, gender violence, xenophobia, to name a few are developed as subtexts. Human conflicts that have been around for quite some time and affect how we relate to our fellowmen. This research aims to analyze those questions that science fiction makes in relation to the human, presents in the HBO television series Westworld, through the resources of audiovisual language such as the development of its characters, conflicts of their subplots and physical spaces.

Full textThis research project examines the representation of the experience of extreme violence in the contemporary fictional space of Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa. The numerous works of prose fiction written in the wake of the armed conflicts of the 1990s and the Rwandan genocide raise questions related to the representation of pain, cruelty and death as well as to the ethics of art. How do literary texts put into narrative traumatic events? How do writers think and problematize extreme crises of immediate history? By the means of what literary modalities are these crises constituted into an object of knowledge and awareness? And what esthetic and language strategies have been privileged to convey the memory of the atrocities in order toprovide testimony or aim at critical reflection? This thesis explores the writing of the collective tragedies that, from a historical and socio-cultural perspective, mark the start of a new period of violence in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this context, we are focusing predominantly on texts that are characterized – through the distinctive choices of form and style operated by the authors – by a radicalization of discourse and particularly violent plots and esthetics. This research which interrogates the powers and the possible limits of art in the representation of facts of extreme violence analyses an extensive corpus of novels and short stories published between 1998 and 2010 and suggests a multidisciplinary approach which, next to literary and esthetic theories, draws on history, sociology, anthropology and psychiatry

Esta dissertação discute basicamente algumas maneiras através das quais o conflito é apresentado no diálogo de ficção. O propósito deste trabalho é provar que o diálogo é uma grande fonte de conflito na narrativa. Este trabalho está dividido em quatro capítulos. O primeiro capítulo examina os relacionamentos das personagens e seus problemas pela aplicação da teoria do Princípio Cooperativo de Grice e suas máximas para esse princípio. O segundo capítulo trata das rupturas na estrutura, desenvolvida por Coulthard e Brazil para uma "troca" em conversação. Nesse capítulo, ainda é considerada a não-observância das regras de Sacks, Jefferson e Shegloff para o Sistema de Turnos em Conversação. O terceiro capítulo analisa alguns elementos da glosa ou interpretação do narrador e ilustra como esses elementos podem indicar para o leitor a presença de conflito. No quarto capítulo, é apresentada uma pesquisa sobre a reação do leitor à ausência da glosa ou TE, numa tentativa de provar que os leitores são usualmente capazes de criar entre-textos para preencher as lacunas deixadas pelo narrador. A pesquisa também mostra que, quando o conflito está claro no próprio diálogo, os leitores também o assinalam nos seus próprios entre-textos. Como conclusão, as linha teóricas utilizadas para análise são relacionadas, e a sua utilidade para o objetivo proposto é discutida.

Full textIn this doctoral dissertation, we are studying a selection of both Mexican and French literary works related to the historic events of the Second French Intervention in Mexico (1862-1867) and of the Second Mexican Empire (1864-1867). This body of works has been published between the XIXth and the XXIth century and has been selected, both because their poetic and political thoughts are emblematic of this period and because they have contributed to the construction of a Mexican cultural and identity iconography. We have decided to select the fiction and theatrical genres, to carry out a comparative and diachronic analysis. The decision of which literary works and authors to include has been made based on how both the French Intervention and the way it has been depicted in literature, have been dealt with in particular in each literary work and each author we considered to studied. The studied novels belong to the sub-genre of serialized fiction in the XIXth century with, on the French side, Benito Vázquez (1869) by Lucien Biart and Doña Flor (1877) by Gustave Aimard and, on the Mexican side, Clemencia (1869) by Manuel Altamirano and El Cerro de las Campanas (1868) by Juan Mateos. As far as theatre plays are concerned, we have carried out a comparative study of both Corona de Sombra (1943) by Rodolfo Usigli and Charlotte et Maximilien (1945) by Maurice Rostand. We have completed our analysis with a complementary study of El Tuerto es Rey (1970) by Carlos Fuentes. Regarding more contemporaneous historic and literary creations, we chose to include Noticias del Imperio (1987) by Fernando del Paso and Yo, el francés by Jean Meyer (2002). This corpus allows to carry out a comparative, linguistic, semiotic and literary analysis of afore-mentioned works. Such analysis calls for a thorough reflection on the interpretation of conflict, an armed and political conflict which influenced both History and Mexican and French literary productions

Full textThis thesis explores the concept of masculinity in contemporary Northern-Irish fiction. My body of texts is constituted by six novels published in the decade after the Good Friday Agreement (1998): Breakfast on Pluto by Patrick McCabe (1998), No Bones by Anna Burns (2001), Fodder by Tara West (2002), The Ultras by Eoin McNamee (2004), Little Constructions by Anna Burns (2007) and The Truth Commissioner by David Park (2008). Because of the close links between masculinity, violence, national identity and the military, the issue of masculinity is of particular importance in the aftermath of the Troubles and of the peace process in Northern Ireland. In the novels, a dialectics between conformism and subversion of codes of manliness develops and reconfigures masculinity as ‘anti-virility’ in order to reveal the characteristics and functioning of the stereotype. The focus first on the supremacy of masculinity and then on the subordination of femininity in the novels leads us to notice a queer and feminist orientation in the writing strategies. This particular reshaping of masculinity and the unveiling of the gender order enable the emergence of a counter-narrative which challenges the hegemonic discourse about peace in the Northern-Irish public sphere. The aggressive incitement to make a fresh start and the pervasive optimism of this rhetoric are debunked by the lingering past residuals in the novels which ultimately display a profound malaise in the post-conflict Northern Ireland

Full textThis study explores the fiction of Robert E. Howard, whose entire body of work was published in the American pulp magazines of the 1920s and 1930s, and who has since been credited as the creator of « sword and sorcery », a subgenre of fantasy fiction often criticized due to its lack of sophistication. While the consensus is that Howard defined the American form of modern fantasy, we call into question what is seen as the purely escapist nature of his tales and challenge the notion that his fiction is representative of the subgenre he is considered to have initiated. At the core of our approach is the theory that Howard’s fiction is escapist only in the sense that it avoids writing about a traumatic episode dating from the author’s childhood. Focusing at first on apparently inconsequential details such as the characters’ names or the color of their eyes, the present work identifies the literary traces and manifestations of the trauma we postulate, to reveal an elaborate, if hidden, architecture that informs the entire body of his fiction. This, in turn, offers new perspectives on Howard’s contribution to American fantasy and leads us to conclude that the very form of the genre proceeds from trauma
Henson, Nicholas Allan. "The Pen, the Scaffold, and the Sword: Representations of Labor and Class Conflict in American Historical Fiction After 1945." Thesis, University of Oregon, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/12478.
Full textThe Pen, the Scaffold, and the Sword traces sympathetic representations of class, labor, and radicalism in American literature from post-war modernism through the rise of postmodernism. I investigate two distinct but interrelated questions: How have authors writing after 1945 used history to represent labor and radicalism in their work? Furthermore, how have these historical representations explored avenues for resistance by exploited workers and their supporters? I use critical approaches to postmodern literature that have emphasized the proliferation of previously unheard narratives focused on race, gender, and sexuality as they are presented against dominant white male representations. However, I turn to class and labor as complementary avenues for critically investigating similar unheard historical narratives. I argue that by depicting specific labor conflicts each of these texts present counter histories to standard or popular historical narratives that have ignored the breadth and importance of class conflict in U.S. history. These texts retell the stories of historic labor struggles to rejuvenate an awareness of class and labor issues in contemporary readers. In doing so, they establish counter narratives meant to be read against common conceptions of the past. I contend they change reader perceptions of history and contemporary social and political issues by demanding we abandon totalizing conceptions of history and emphasize contingent or limited representations instead. Chapter I establishes the parameters of the project. Chapter II turns toWallace Stegner’s Joe Hill (1951) and its often ignored sympathetic portrayal of labor. Chapter III focuses on the 1954 film Salt of the Earth and its communication of historical lessons as a basis for future social reforms. Chapter IV compares Denise Giardina’s coal mining novels Storming Heaven (1987) and The Unquiet Earth (1990) with Upton Sinclair’s work in King Coal (1917) to examine the former’s emphasis on agency and environmentalism. Chapter V compares Thomas Pynchon’s exploration of history through the motifs of the frontier and families in Against the Day (2006) and Vineland (1990) with Owen Wister’s work in The Virginian (1902). Finally, Chapter VI examines historical fiction in the age of postmodernism though an examination of E.L. Doctorow’s Ragtime (1974).

Ti Jean, the hero of the story very popular in the West Indies, was inherited from the colonists, as in former French colonies in America, and shaped by African slaves ; he is sometimes perceived as a slave, sometimes as a « Brown Negro » or as of rival master whom he delights the property. Sometimes it is opposed to the king which he inherits the property or the girl after a series of tests. It can be compared with Martinique in revolt, as in the demonstrations in February 2009 and therefore this type of story could be used to help find markers to a population whose history is marked by social conflict

Based on José Saramago s novel called História do cerco de Lisboa, this dissertation aims to feature and analyse the boundary or territoriality existent between History and Literature. The literary and poetic expression of the History seeks to examine carefully the analysis of the boundaries coursed by these two fields of knowledge Literature and History in the process of retrieving and writing about the human experience, whatever it may be in the past or in the present tenses. Our hypothesis is that the History will demonstrate the territoriality between the present and the past which are harmonized on the work, whose articulation to the contemporary culture does not behold the past as something definitely lost or whose rescue is anachronistic. The theoretical framework is based on the idea of the History to become the own novel theme, because it is inserted in the fiction as a part of its, generating dialogic and territoriality conflicts discourses between the present and the past tenses. Toward this, studious as Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben, Mikhail Bakthin, Tzvetan Todorov, Paul Ricouer, Homi K Bhabba will be studied and recovered in their theoretical proposals to consolidate groundwork to the arguments of analysis and interpretation. The contemporary discussion about the boundaries between literature and history recovers in several manners foregoing controversies. One of them is the discussion about the value and the truth of the literary and historical narratives, whose relations interchange between opposition and complementary periods. In this sense, the analysis may assist to comprehend better the boundaries between both discourses and procedures with which they authenticate their truths and their values
A partir do romance História do cerco de Lisboa, de José Saramago, a presente dissertação tem como objetivo destacar e analisar a fronteira ou territorialidade existente entre História e Literatura. A expressão literária e poética da História busca aprofundar a análise das fronteiras percorridas por essas duas áreas de conhecimento Literatura e História no processo de resgate e escrita da experiência humana, seja ela a do passado ou a do presente. A nossa hipótese é que a História irá manifestar a territorialidade entre o tempo presente e o passado, os quais são harmonizados na obra, cuja vinculação à cultura contemporânea não contempla o passado como algo definitivamente perdido ou cujo resgate é anacrônico. A fundamentação teórica se baseia na ideia da História se tornar o próprio tema do romance, pois está encaixada na ficção como parte dela, gerando discursos dialógicos e conflitos de territorialidade entre o tempo presente e o passado. Para isso, estudiosos como Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben, Mikhail Bakhtin, Tzvetan Todorov, Paul Ricoeur, Homi K. Bhabba serão estudados e resgatados em suas propostas teóricas como forma de dar fundamentação aos argumentos de análise e interpretação. O debate contemporâneo sobre as fronteiras entre a literatura e a história recupera de várias maneiras disputas anteriores. Uma delas é a discussão sobre o valor e a verdade das narrativas históricas e literárias, cujas relações se alternam entre períodos de oposição e de complementaridade. Nesse sentido, a análise pode ajudar a compreender melhor as fronteiras entre os dois discursos e os procedimentos com que eles referendam as suas verdades e os seus valores

Full textIt is difficult not to conceive utopia as a rupture: through original spatial division, temporal tension, critical discordance. Yet, theories and attacks from anti-utopians consider utopia as an illusory world, even useless, enclosed, marking the end of times and potentially dangerous for humanity. What if utopia was not the programme of a better society to realize,but instead a transgressive practice, an apparition of discontinuity in our « now and here », an excess which overtakes reality rather than a possible that has yet to be realized in the future? Iain M. Banks is a contemporary, original and audacious science-fiction author, who,aware of the inherent dangers of utopia, has known how to challenge these limits in order to provide a completely unique utopian society: this utopia is called the Culture. How to critically reinvest utopia? How can science fiction – and more precisely the genre of space-opera – depict political issues, worthy of philosophical enquiry? Iain M. Banks imagines a space for utopia, entirely oriented towards encounter,proximity, and novelty. Subverting science-fictional and utopian traditions, notions of alterity and conflict span the Culture Cycle. These two characteristics are the guiding principles of this dissertation, which aims at reconceptualizing utopia through a philosophical, political and literary perspective, by way of analysing the representations of utopian discourses within the science-fictional laboratory. These discourses take three shapes: dystopia, heterotopia, (e)utopia. Together, they outline a “radical utopian culture”

This research paper aims at investigating the relationship between history and fiction in the construction of Arthur Miller s play The Crucible, 1953. After situating the reader in the context of the modern American Theater, as in the period of the author's life, in an attempt to situate the text in the context of Miller s time, seeking an interpretation that incorporates dialectically the exteriority to the interiority of the work, we trace the real facts which happened in Salem in 1692, in a chronological and sequential order, as befits a historical investigation. Searching for a better comprehension of The Crucible, we examined the relationship between history and fiction, as understood by important philosophers and theorists throughout the centuries. Based on essential parameters to the understanding of this complex relationship and in possession of relevant concepts about the theory of drama, we analysed the play in the light of the proposed theories. The main results show that, The Crucible is a play based on the story of the tragic episode of the Salem Witch Hunts, but it is not history in the sense the word is used by an academic historian. The work concludes that Arthur Miller was careful enough to adjust the historical material he raised about Salem to his fictional purposes and, through dramatic strategies, he not only showed the historical events from a critical perspective, but he was also able to create an excess of meaning that transforms his historical play into an allegory of oppression and persecution.
A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar as relações entre história e ficção na construção da peça The Crucible (As Bruxas de Salém, 1953), de Arthur Miller. Após situar o leitor no teatro moderno norte-americano e na vida do autor, buscando assim enquadrar os estudos do texto no contexto da época de Miller, visando uma interpretação que dialeticamente integre a exterioridade à interioridade da obra, rastreamos os fatos reais ocorridos em Salém em 1692, numa ordem cronológica e sequencial, como nos orienta uma investigação histórica. Numa tentativa de melhor compreender As Bruxas de Salém, examinamos com mais profundidade a relação entre história e ficção, tal como compreendida por importantes filósofos e teóricos ao longo dos séculos. Com base em parâmetros essenciais à apreensão dessa complexa relação e de posse de uma série relevante de conceitos sobre a teoria do drama, analisa-se a peça à luz das teorias propostas. Os principais resultados mostram que, As Bruxas de Salém é uma peça baseada em relatos e documentos históricos relativos ao trágico episódio da caça às bruxas de Salém, mas não é história no sentido em que a palavra é usada pelo historiador acadêmico. O trabalho conclui que Arthur Miller teve o cuidado de ajustar o material histórico por ele levantado em Salém ao seu propósito dramático e que, através de estratégias dramáticas, não apenas mostrou os eventos históricos sob uma perspectiva crítica, como também foi capaz de criar um excesso de significado que transforma sua peça histórica numa alegoria da opressão e da perseguição.

Full textThis work examines the use of civil wars in English and French novels between 1580 and 1668 that is to say during the Baroque period. At this time, France and England were going through a revolutionary political, religious but also social crisis. Our framework is based on genre studies, contemporary theories of fiction and historicity. We aimed at shedding a new light on novel's poetics and analysing the articulation of fact and fiction through the study of a corpus of thirty little-known novels. The comparison between the French novels and the English ones implies to identify what defines the genre of early modern novel and its boundaries for both countries, and determine the genealogy of the narrative models used by the authors. We then establish the poetics of war through the analyses of the narrative functions of war sequences, the way characters are build up and the stylistics of violence (staged or faded). Finally, we suggest an interpretation of the novels. From the remembrance of wars of religion to the record of the English Revolution, Baroque novels constitute a specific form of historical fiction, characterized by the displacement of collective stakes and the metaphorisation of the religious division to the level of the couple or the family but also the recycling of the allegorical writing style. The Baroque novel is dedicated to love as opposed to the epic genre, it offers various and complex representations of civil war, this internai conflict questioning one's identity, faith and sense of belonging, three key concepts of the early modern novel

Full textThis study proposes to examine the relationship between the visible or non-visible structure of the first novels by Marcel Aymé (1902-1967) and the presence of numerous aspects of orality in the novels. An ethnocritical approach to these narratives makes it possible to combine a poetics of the novel with an anthropology of symbols. We base our study first of all on a theory of the “talking novel” (“roman parlant”) related to the period between the two world wars, which corresponds to the period when Marcel Aymé began publishing his work. Then we trace the presence and awareness of writing (as opposed to orality) through an examination of the stylistic effects of what could be called a composite form of writing and the role of these effects in the overall strategy of the author. In effect, we perceive intertextual echoes of the classics but also an interest in new forms of literary and cinematographic expression. The particular attention to narrative voice, but also the presence of the burlesque and of irony, are elements that help one to understand the aesthetic choices of the young author and the cultural style of his novels. In the central part of this analysis the characters are studied in the perspective of their search for identity and of their way of coming to terms with the public and social systems with which they are confronted through events involving their civil status (marriage, death, etc.). Their relationship with the image and power of numeracy is another important dimension of the complex dynamics of this search for identity. The voices that one hears in the narration, public or private, individual or collective, consensual or dissenting, are examined for the clues they yield concerning the cultural tensions present within the communities represented in the novels. The last part of the thesis examines the conflict and convergence between literacy as a “habitus” and the living traces of orality as they appear in the novels of the corpus (Brûlebois, Aller retour, La Table-aux-Crevés). This study also aims at being open to the world of Marcel Aymé as a whole and at being attentive to the interrelations between all the publications of the author, including his newspaper articles and his plays

Adolescence is one of the prominent stages of life. Most of the adoloscents often experience a state of confusion due to indistinct conception of value of self-doubt, future aspirations, and confusion about love fostering problems, dilemmas, tension and estrangement from society. In recent years, likelihood of contention occurrence within parent-child, teacher-student, and between peers is increasing. Therefore, this study attempts to explore ways to deal with these conflicts while growing up. In this study, a textual analysis approach was employed to explore how an adoloscent experiences and handles the conflict with oneself, others, and though nature. This study is based on short stories written by Li Tong and used to compare and analy common conflicts. It is explained over six chapters: The first chapter introduces precedents of adoloscency confusion and its consequences on society. Furthermore, it sheds light on relevant prior literature, and defines the field of this study. It also breifly introduces research methods to explore the creative life of Li Tong. The second chapter explains self and interpersonal conflicts while including ideological, real conflicts, and suspicion of the unknown along with fear. The third chapter focuses on three interpersonal dimensions of adoloscent conflicts, parental conflict , conflict with teachers, and conflict with peers. The fourth chapter explores conflict in human-nature t by considering human-nature, and human-animal conflict to elucidate conflict panorama of adloscents. The fifth chapter further investigates conflict resolution methods, while incoporating notions of self-help and truth. Li Tong's story can propose optimized insights to deal with conflicts and a attitude of life education. He has described characters with several perspectives such as oneself, interpersonal, and environmental conflict. Therefore, results were alalyzed on the basis of Li Tong's story.
