Full textLucinda Childs is a major figure in twentieth-century dance. In the early 1960s, she was one of the founding members of the Judson Dance Theater, a group of dancers, choreographers, artists and composers in New York City who reinvigorated dance forms and practices. With the establishment of her company in 1973, she emerged as one of the leading figures of American minimal dance and postmodern dance, while collaborating from the 1980s onward with major ballet companies in Europe and the United States. Whether with her own company, with repertory dance companies, or at Judson, literacy plays a crucial role in the conceiving, embodying, and performing of her dances. Through an anthropological investigation within dance studios, Lou Forster demonstrates that the technical gesture of dancing, page in hand, is constructed at the intersection of two parallel histories. In the 1950s, John Cage and Merce Cunningham devised a range of reading and writing practices in order to oppose, divert and reconfigure academic methods in which literacy serves as a foundation to establish disciplinary divisions and hierarchies. This neo-avant-garde approach played a crucial role at Judson. Among the members of this group, Childs was one of the choreographers who paid the most attention to these literacy practices, as they tied in with a lesser-known aspect of her dance training. From 1955 to 1962, she studied modern dance within the extensive network of the German diaspora in New York. Specifically, she attended the school run by the choreographer Hanya Holm (1893-1992), where an Americanised form of dance of expression (Ausdruckstanz) was taught. There Childs discovered Kinetography Laban or Labanotation, the system of analysing and writing movement developed by the Austro-Hungarian choreographer Rudolf Laban (1879-1958), in which dancers rehearse with page in hand. Fifteen years later she turned toward this literacy event, unusual for the dance world, to work with her company. Art history and dance history dissociated these two aspects of choreographic modernity when, from 1933, part of the dance of expression became involved with the Nazi regime. In the United States, the myth of the originality of American Modern dance began to take shape, further emphasized during the Cold War. Childs' unique position in this connected history meant that graphic practices became a matrix for postmodernism. Since 1973, she embraced all canonical techniques of Western dance, moving over the years from dance of expression to pedestrian activities, to Neoclassical and then to the Baroque. Positioning herself as an appropriationist, she developed a historical and critical perspective on these borrowed techniques. In her pieces, she seeks to bring together practices, genres and histories of dance that have been separated and disjointed, crafting a genuine poetics of relation

Full textThis thesis deals with the unability of literary ambition to faithfully transcribe absolute barbarism. Using the poetics of disgrace, it questions the relationship between writing and extreme experience on the one hand, and brings out the narrative strategies governing the stories attempting a novelization of experiences judged unspeakable on the other. It is then a reflection on the very status of contemporary literature.The poetic analysis leads us to affirm in a first part that tales of catastrophe are built on a dilemma: the unspeakable; based on the powerlessness of rational language to name it and the necessity, despite it all, to transcend the frontiers of the “impossible to say”. And it is the reversal of the writing of disgrace into the disgrace of writing as an aesthetical means which allows this transcendence. The second part allows us to see the recurrence of some invariants presenting themselves as pertinent elements of writing. This engenders a literature of the void, of uncertainty. It is then the notion of the subject’s fragmentation which truly places our works either in western postmodern literature or in African postcolonial literature

Full textIn thesis, disbelief in the Other in the post modern world establishes a comparison between belief in the Other in the modern age and disbelief in our age, the postmodern world. This path has been built based on philosophical premises that lead us to ascertain, from the psychoanalytical view, the fainting of the paternal figure in the postmodern age. In this sense, we reach psychoanalysis domination, making evident the need to give fundaments to disbelief either from the structure point of view or from the standpoint of its effects on today’s clinic. The effects of disbelief in the Other are so illustrated born of depression, of the out of focus delight, of anguish and other clinical manifestations, with no disregard for the psychic structures. It becomes then necessary to think of new strategies to operate in face of the disbelief in the Other since it is said that in the analysis process belief is fundamental

Full textThe work of Michel Houellebecq seems to be emblematic of the postmodern literary movement. Indeed, they both share the principle according to which this whole world is nothing but division, paradox and nonsense. Yet, if it is true that Houellebecq's poetic sets out to describe the story of a disappearing universe, it could not be confined to that. Indeed, a whole section of the latter tries to give back hope to the reader and to promise him reconstruction opportunities beyond postmodernity : towards a "post-postmodernity" within which humanity would be reconciled with itself as well as with the outside world. That programmatic speech first establishes itself through the narration of a futuristic universe, the description of a utopian system based on positivism and genetic manipulations : a promise of liberation for a humanity chained to its own inability to improve itself. Moreover, that social reconstruction project involves the radical criticism of our corrupt world, and, at the same time, the sanctification of a number of fundamental values inherent to modernity (love, family, etc. ) and symbolic of human community spirit. However, it is poetry which seems to be remedy to contemporary evils, for the poetic work, deprived of a manichaeism and free of intellectual and rational thoughts, finds itself able to offer the reader o post-logical universe within which paradoxes, sapping the postmodern world, have been transcended. Finally, that polysemous work therefore appears absurd, or, more precisely, postmodern, only in order to describe the monist universe into which it is thrown, in order to understand it better, so that it may be fought, and, possibly, overcome

Full textThis thesis explores how contemporary art, more specifically video, interrogates the relationship between body and images. A close link binds them together today; video art, native to postmodern time, seems adapted to its exploration. First, influence modalities of the image are developed. The hypotheses are constructed on four sources: psychoanalytical and phenomenological theories, socials realities, artistic productions (both from known artists and from my own practice) and image theories (art history and aesthetic). A succession of conclusions have been deducted from them: today’s human seems to be inhabited by images, these participate to the structuration of perception, compete with recollection and contribute to determine the shapes of mental elaboration. Consequently, the image define significantly the postmodern body. But various relationships to images remain possible: utilization, interaction, experimentation. Then, with the oscillatory potential of video art, the interdependence between body and image is detailed. Part II compares sensible body and depicted body through the fluctuating marks of the referent in video representation – working with the appearing/disappearing, surface/thickness, sense/nonsense pairs – to explore the dreamed, lived body and the relationship to the depicted body. Part III shows the interplay between linking and delinking of the depicted body with the backgrounds – bore by chroma keying, reediting and compositing. This allows to apprehend positioning and articulation, of the body and its depiction, to images. This approach also points out what in the depicted body reveals the sensitive body and what in its articulation to the background resists: the desiring body
D, Schooley Béatrice. "Personnes, Personnel et Impersonnel dans l’œuvre de Richard Powers." Thesis, Paris 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA030161/document.
Full textRichard Powers’ novels are best known for the diverse and rich quality of their themes, for the density of their historic and socio-economic contents, as well as for the level of technicality with which they handle a variety of scientific themes, yet they also leave a place of choice to the characters. Their role consists in both mirroring a social reality and holding the paramount function of organizing the course of the narrative, as they express Powers’ vision of contemporary America and constitute a space of literary experimentation. These novels focus on the ways human beings who are caught in a world saturated with new technological means and struggling through constant social and political mutations, can fight to preserve and reinvent their personal identity. The author chooses both a sociological and philosophical approach by expressing his vision of the contemporary American society and by putting at the very center of his works the notion of relationship to oneself and to others. The narrative implications of such interests in the increasing complexity of the ontological status of the individual are multiple and lead to the construction of changing and discontinuous characters who refract more than they absorb an energy that can be recirculated at the triple level of the fiction, the readers, and the act of writing. Accounting for the destruction of the unity of the individual in the contemporary American world, the modalities of Powers’ character writing push back the boundaries of the traditional individualistic and personal concept of literary character and substitute to it a paradoxically welcoming, fragmentary and impersonal vision of the human nature

Full textLe pouvoir du médecin est évoqué, et se ramène in fine à la fourniture d’un diagnostic et d’une explication de sa maladie au patient. Le rôle des explications particulières que donne le médecin au malade est exploré à la lumière d’une conception narrative et évolutive de la vie humaine. Le rôle du médecin apparaît alors comme d’aider le patient à réécrire a posteriori le fil d’une histoire qui apparaît initialement comme interrompue par la maladie.
Le rôle social de maintien de l’ordre de la pratique médicale est alors évoqué. Ensuite, par une approche descriptive du phénomène religieux, on montre que la médecine du XXIe siècle a les caractéristiques d’un tel phénomène. Entités extrahumaines, mythes, rites, tabous, prétention à bâtir une morale, accompagnement de la vie et de la mort, miracles, promesse de salut, temples, officiants sont identifiés dans la médecine « classique » contemporaine. Seule la fonction de divination de l’avenir d’un homme précis est devenue brumeuse, la technoscience permettant régulièrement du « tout ou rien » là où auparavant un pronostic précis (et souvent défavorable) pouvait être affirmé.
L’hypothèse que la médecine est devenue une religion du XXIe siècle est confrontée à des textes de S. Freud, M. Gauchet et P. Boyer. Non seulement ces textes n’invalident pas l’hypothèse, mais la renforcent même. Il apparaît que le fonctionnement de l’esprit humain favorise l’éclosion de religions et donc la prise de voile de la médecine. La dynamique générale de la démocratisation de la société montre que la médecine est une forme de religion non seulement compatible avec une société démocratique, mais est peut-être une des formes accomplies de celle-ci, où chaque individu écrit lui-même sa propre histoire.
Le danger qu’il y a, pour le patient comme pour le médecin, si ce dernier accepte de jouer un rôle de prêtre, est ensuite développé. Enfin, la remise dans le cadre plus général de l’existence humaine, l’évocation de la dimension de révolte de la médecine, de son essentielle incomplétude, l’acceptation d’une cohérence imparfaite permettent au médecin de retrouver des sources de joie afin de, peut-être, ne tomber ni dans un désinvestissement blasé, ni dans un cynisme blessant.
From a description of the many changes medical practice has undergone for a few decades, the work goes on to study many sides of the modern doctor’s malaise. The gain of power made possible by technoscience is put on a larger stage where information technologies play a major role. The abundance of knowledge makes health literacy more difficult. the great number of observations makes discrepancies with general theories more frequent. The gain in power is associated with a loss of coherence of the medical speech. The doctor’s role vanishes behind technology that seems to be the only access to all medical progresses. Doctors becomes mere service providers and go on to offer unvalidated or even harmful services on the market.
Modern medical power resumes into the explanations and diagnosis given to the patient. The role of medical explanations is explored through an evolutive and narrative vision of human life. The duty of the doctors then appears to allow a new narration of the self that bridges the gap disease introduced into the patient’s life.
The role of medicine in maintaining social order is mentioned. Through a sociological approach of the religious phenomenon, one can see that XXIst century medicine is such a phenomenon. Medicine knows of extrahuman entities, myths, rites, taboos, miracles, temples; priests are present in modern mainstream medicine. Some want to derive objective moral values from medicine, and it brings companionship to man from birth to death. The only departure from old religions was the weakened ability to predict the future of an individual patient: for some diseases for which survival was known to be very poor, the possibilities are now long-term survival with cure, or early death from the treatment.
The hypothesis that medicine is a religion is confronted to texts from Freud S. Gauchet M. and Boyer P. Not only do they not invalidate the hypothesis, but they bring enrichment to it. Brain/mind dynamics is such that the appearance of religions is frequent, and makes the transformation of medicine into a religion easier. Society’s democratisation confronted to religion’s history shows that medicine is the most compatible form of religion within a truly democratic society, where each individual writes his own story.
To become a priest brings some dangers for the patient, but also for the doctor. These dangers are discussed. This discussion is put into the larger context of human life. The revolt dimension of medicine is discussed, as is its never-ending task. Their acceptance, as that of a lack of total logical coherence can open the possibility for the doctor to enjoy his work, without being neither unfeeling nor cynical.

Full textThis research deals with the study of postmodern narrative literature in Italy. It analyses its reassessment of certain narrative genres such as the "Bildungsroman", the historical novel, the detective novel and the short story, and explores some postmodern texts parodying Italian models from the XIXth and the XXth century. My work is composed of three parts. My aim was first to define the terms of my research and to establish some theoretical principles concerning the notions of postmodernism, literary genres and parodies, as a ground for the reading of the authors included in my corpus (Benni, Folgore, Macchiavelli, Manganelli and Vassalli). Secondly, I have analysed instances of modernism and postmodernism in my corpus and their structural differences. Thirdly, I have examined the different forms of postmodernism, and endeavoured to understand the aesthetic, philosophical and moral strategies which have led to postmodern reclassification

Full textThe objective of this thesis attempts to illustrate a series of principles which could potentially lead to a theorisation of biographical writing. By exposing prosaic literary examples of the XIX century and certain theoretical bases of the XXI century, it is possible to depict recurrences that have contributed to the success or failure of various biographical works. Giles Lytton Strachey (1880-1932) as a biographer, essayist and critic appears to be the ideal subject that enables one to analyse the relationship between biographers, biographees and readers. Furthermore, the structural scheme of metahistory, as suggested by Hayden White, brings us one step closer to the assumption that biography can stand as a full-fledged genre both in terms of form and substance

Full textThe study of intertextuality and intermediality in Jane Campion’s artistic creations casts light upon the mechanism of postmodern metacinema, an issue that is raised first through the question of adaptation. Holy Smoke (1999) ends with a mise en abyme through which the writing process is put at the core of the novel. With In the Cut [2001], the literary quotations are landmarks that regularly put into question the destiny and destination of the heroïn and of the fiction. Finally, in An Angel at my Table [1991], the recurrent images of Janet’s itinerary and the use of aerian tracking shots can be viewed as autoreferential devices. The embedding of other artistic genres within the movie also allows the fiction to comment on itself. The cartoon sequences bring about the essence of hypotyposis. The use of paintings as referential material, the allusions to fairy tales and the shooting of transcending creative moments give to the movie the tools to speak about itself. Lastly, in a typically lacanian approach, Campion puts fictions and documentaries on the same level when contrasted to the real. The botanical documentary footage, the report on sects or the archives shed light upon specific types of intermediality : the anamorphosis, the metalepsis and the homological structure. Moreover, the fiction borrows the codes of representation to the informational genres with the magical-realistic biopic, the imitation of the documentary footage or archives sometimes combined with surrealistic developments. In contrasting the fictional and the informational, the movie leads to a metafilmic reflection, in which the Real stands for the unreachable horizon of any form of representation

Full textThis research starts from the observation of an ongoing crisis of French educational institution based on the republican model. By the 1970s, the "conflictualists" sociologists have studied and denounced the mechanisms that make the school a factor of the continuation of social inequality. Previous governments have implemented numerous educational policies often at the expense of consistency and efficiency. The challenges of dealing with a massive system and efficiency of the school. There are indications of deterioration in the school climate as well as recurrent lower academic performance of students, as shown by surveys such as Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). French schools based on modern values at odds with the social environment and loss of efficiency.We propose to conduct an analysis of the French schools in the light of the paradigm of postmodernity. French educational institution operates on a system of values inherited from the modern era, characterized by rationality and verticality, (i.e. transfer of knowledge from the top down) the individual is expected to conform to a model. These values, like traditional republican institutions are obsolete and no longer work. However, the postmodern era is characterized by the emergence of a topical horizontality (i.e. learning from your peers and your teacher), a new concept of interpersonal relationships and communication with each other. There is also a resurgence of archaic and sensitive values. These are phenomena characteristic of trends in postmodern societies, influencing attitudes and representations, particularly among young people. Remaining impervious to the new social environment, the Republican school institution is in discordance with the people in which is in charge of training, and thus, becomes inadequate and "unperformant."Pedagogical transformation began in the 20th century, thanks to the contributions of psychology, including constructivism in the sense of a better mobilization of psychological functions of the individual. From the 1960s, the evolution of pedagogy in theory relies on the work of humanist psychologists who have improved the understanding of the mechanisms of motivation and highlighted the importance of concepts such as self-esteem. These concepts have contributed to educational changes, which have supported research on "process-product" and the reflective practices of teachers. However, it clearly appears that the contributions of psychology and the results of these studies are insufficiently integrated practice in the educational process in France.The fact remains that educational change is incomplete as the school is not attuned to the social environment. The paradigm theories of Jung applied to education, focused on the archetypal nature of the teacher-student relationship. In addition, we further stress, convergence with theories of imagination. We intend to demonstrate that the proper implementation of an "archetypal" education, leveraging the sensitivity, intuition, empathy and the “resonance” is a powerful contributor to education. The goal is to seat the connection between student knowledge and enhancement of personal potential. The establishment of such an educational relationship is currently based on an individual approach of the teacher including their own self analysis in order to improve the transfer of knowledge.In conclusion, the incorporation of these concepts in the organization of the educational institution would require a thorough overhaul of the educational process, but also the recruitment and training of teachers

Full textCombining realism and the sublime, time in nature and in social life, the texts of El-Mahdi Acherchour destroy the boundaries between wild and domestic spaces and continuously link the world of the living to that of the dead, the ancient times to the present, and oral traditions to writing practices. His texts are inscribed in the wake of postmodern aesthetics, presenting not only one plot, but infinite inserted narratives. For these major reasons, we propose to analyze these texts from a perspective that takes into consideration literary texts poetics and symbolic anthropology. In the first part of this research, devoted to the study of Acherchour’s last novel, Moineau (2010), we have endeavored to shed light on the problematics that are posed in the text. Moving from the paratext, to the chronotopes that structure this novel, and through the representation of the different characters that evolve in the narrative, some reflections on the writing of heterogeneous consistencies ( cultural heterology) have imposed themselves. Some questions linked to the wild and to the domestic, to the familiar and the strange(r), to writing and oral tradition, are varied consistencies that “Acherchourian” writing tries to hybridize. In the second part of this work, we have questioned, from the same perspective, two other novels of El Mahdi Acherchour: Pays d’aucun mal (2007) and Lui, le livre followed by l’Autre, l’autre livre (2005). These two novels address the same fictional settings and appeal to the same berber folklore figure (Zalgoum) in an aesthetic surge, which makes “le procès de l’unité”. The last part of this research deals with reading the established cultures in the poetry of El Mahdi Acherchour, notably in L’Oeil de l’égaré (1997) and Chemin des choses nocturnes (2003). At the crossroads of the culture(s) of the Self, and of the culture and language of the Other, the writing of El-Mahdi Acherchour takes an ‘entre-lieu’ position, in -between cultures, establishing his poetic and fictional oeuvre as a setting for ambivalence and coexistence. By appropriating the language and the culture of the Other, which is varied and heterogeneous, the verse and prose of El-Mahdi Acherchour propose a world vision centered on its syncretic reality

Full textWhat does the term “postmodern” mean? And above all, what were the forces that changed the way we used it? This work argues that beyond being just an inadequate semantical object, an empty signifier, the term “postmodern” is worth studying as it helps us identify some of the theoretical forces which shaped the end of the 20th century. In that respect, it offers a fitting lens to analyse the reconfiguration of western Marxism in the English-speaking world, the conflicts within the Anglo-Saxon Left at the university level and the regeneration of various streams of critical theory in the United Kingdom as well as in the United States. Taking a transdisciplinary stance, this work studies the emergence and the dissemination of that signifier along a transatlantic axis, the major interpretations that were made about it as well as the often conflicting ways it was used. To chart the intellectual history of that era, our historicist approach will take us to the debates around the modernist controversy in the US in the 1960s and 1970s, the involvement of Jean-François Lyotard and Jürgen Habermas and especially the contributions of Fredric Jameson, Zygmunt Bauman and Stuart Hall in the course of the 1980s and 1990s. Borrowing from the fields of literary theory, political sociology and cultural studies, this work takes into account the combination of theoretical, affective and political dimensions in order to best identify the ideological and institutional strategies at play behind this chapter of the social history of ideas. Being essentially a historical sociology of a transnational, intellectual space, this study explores the various paths that led to the construction of this postmodern moment so that we understand better what was truly behind this intellectual effervescence

Full textOur work of research arises from the desire to articulate a literary writing with a formal analysis. A specificity, whose interest lies in its protean property, has proved to be at the centre of our literary and theoretic concerns: quotation. Postmodern literature paves the way for the study of this specificity since quotations abound in this genre. In our study, we look on their multiple facets in a corpus of eight contemporary French novels. All the quotations reflect the idea of crossbreeding and blending which is typical of the postmodern aestheticism. Thus, our thesis looks through the reported discourse, polyphony, aphorism. . . But first, we have to define postmodern literature, which includes the process of reflecting on the genre. Our main purpose can be detailed as such: we will aim at explaining that the postmodern French literature exists and is characterised by textual and transtextuel properties, in this process, we apprehend a linguistic rethinking of transtextuality
Du, Verger Jean. "L'écriture en spectacle : collage et réécriture dans le théâtre de Tom Stoppard." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040051.
Full textTom Stoppard’s plays have often been viewed as the epitome of the postmodern. The writing techniques which inform Stoppard’s dramatic texts and which are studied in the present thesis play an essential part in the way in which the playwright stages his own writing process. This study also postulates that those techniques stand as a means of subverting and parodying the codes of the postmodern. The collages, fragments and rewriting which inform Stoppard’s works, reflect a patrimonial conception of literature and allow for an original approach and critique of postmodernism thus renewing the discourse on the modern. While considering the various references to the works of Magritte and Duchamp, the present study seeks to unveil the way in which Stoppard stages the sign. It will then shed light on the way in which Stoppard uses musical collages and quotations, which dot the playwright’s work, to shape and construct some of his plays. Finally, this dissertation will envisage collage as the expression of literary and philosophical hermeneutics as it examines James Joyce’s crucial influence on the playwright’s writing technique. Theatre stands probably as the only form of art which can borrow from all the other forms of art (painting, sculpture, music and literature). As such, it is the ideal locus for Stoppard’s subtle and complex writing techniques to proliferate. However, using quotations and fragments does not necessarily imply a fragmentation of meaning. Far from conveying a detached view of the world, Stoppard’s dramatic works provide the audience with an ontological and political thought-provoking view on our contemporary society

Full textThis thesis, entitled "Haldun Taner's short stories. Forerunner of postmodern literature in Turkey ", studies the short stories of Turkish writer Haldun Taner (1915-1986) as a source of inspiration for early Turkish postmodernists. H. Taner, known above all as a playwright, created a prose, which, neglected in Turkey as in the West, presents a wide unexplored field arousing our scientific interest. The problematic of our research is to determine the role of H. Taner’s short stories in Turkey literary landscape, by emphasizing their specificities. Our methodology, based on the work of Western and Turkish researchers, leaves an important place to the theoretical works of Russian scientists, in particular Mikhail Bakhtin. His theory of carnavalisation is widely applied to the analysis of short stories by H. Taner. The corpus is made up of H. Taner's short stories from 1945 to 1986. Our study confirms the initial hypothesis that Haldun Taner's carnival prose paved the way for Turkish postmodernism in the 1980s and 1990s. The originality of the thesis consists in having determined the role of the prose of H. Taner in the development of Turkish literature, by having used Russian written sources not easily accessible to Western researchers, as well as in the application of Mikhail Bakhtin’s carnavalisation theory to Turkish literature

Full textThis study answers the following title: Romantic fiction of postmodernity and its mazes. The example of the texts of Alain Robbe-Grillet (France, 1922-2008), of Juan José Saer (Argentina, 1937-2005) and of Boubacar Boris Diop (Senegal, 1947-). It intends to identify, under authority methodological of poetic text the various modalities by which the pattern of the labyrinth becomes established as privileged substrate of the poetic narrative in three writers belonging to different linguistic and cultural areas. The choice and examination of the texts of these three writers rest on the will to show the deployment of this pattern in the internal organization of the postmodern romantic fiction. Indeed, integrated in the internal dynamic of writing in a very diversified way, the pattern of the maze appears in all the problems which cross the romantic writing. For methodological convenience and scientific rigour, this study deploys according to three complementary axes. While the first is entitled "The labyrinth as obsessive invariant of the romantic fiction of postmodernity" sets out to bring out the different aspects in which this pattern unfolds in dynamic textual postmodern fictional narrative, the second which is entitled "The labyrinth as constitutive modality of the narrativity of the story : romantic fiction of postmodernity to the test of discontinuity", gets down to examine how this pattern is part of a writing project that claims the discontinuity principle as narrative, and the third which is entitled "The labyrinth as a characteristic modality of interdiscursivity and intergenericity textual dynamic : romantic fiction of postmodernity to the test of polyphony" undertakes to show how this pattern is constitutive of polyphony which governs the dynamic of textual postmodern fictional narrative
Saubion, Sonia. "Fragmentation et recomposition dans la fiction de John Fowles : vers une résolution de la crise postmoderne ?" Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011MON30051.
Full textThe contemporary imaginary has given rise to an aesthetics of fragmentation which is characterized by the dissolution of the self in search of an identity in a world deprived of stability and landmarks soon after the trauma caused by the war and nuclear threat. The refusal to follow the principle of linearity, together with the play involved in intertextuality and intergenericity, the disruption of representational patterns underlying traditional realistic novels, favour the display of reader responses at the expense of the harmony of utterances. This thesis, which covers the whole of Fowles’s fiction since 1963, aims at diagnosing the symptoms of the aforementioned crisis by means of a study including metatextual, narratorial, linguistic, philosophical, mythocritical and psychoanalytical tools. We will see how the author, the narrators, the protagonists on stage consider coming to terms with their existential conflicts and returning to a reality they have progressively dissociated themselves from. The latter can either choose to disintegrate the « real » in order to get a better apprehension of it and then to put the scattered fragments together again so as to appropriate them, while projecting their selves through an ideal and a fictional identity, which paves the way for their individuation. Such an evolution from dissensus to consensus conveys the humanistic vein of a work which endeavours not only to have the individual take up with his/her more authentic self but also to reconcile him/her with the others within a universe gaining in coherence

Full textThis work is an analysis of "El desorden de tu nombre"(1988), "La soledad era esto"(1990), three major noves by the Spanish writer Jaun Jose Millas wich were together in 1996 in a book entitled "Trilogia de la soledad". This romantic cycle, centered on the topic of the search for identity marks the entry of the millasian writings into postmedernity. The universe of these metafictional works is marked by the millasian romantic narrator. At the same time, the narrator begins to figure out new narative, meaningful expressions through self-organising mechanisms in the novel. He seeks to go past the usual access to reality and meaning by emphasing the illusions of identity and of reality. Thus, a recurrent motive of the search for self underlies "Trilogia de la soledad" and is used as an Ariane's thread throughout this study, strongly inspired by the theories of the philosopher Paul Ricoeur about narrative identity. Consenquently, this analysis attempts to give an account of the density of the novels, wich can be seen as an interface between the poetical, philosophical, cognitive, psychoanalytical dimensions of the millasian writings

Full textThe Lyotardian concept of "postmodernity" refers to the current crisis, namely a crisis of the "meta-narratives" organizing modernity, and the resulting social, epistemic and discursive order. Faced with the current hegemonic attempt of biomedicine and cognitivism, which propose a new scientific myth, that of transhumanism, and play the game of an increased "bio-power", an alternative approach would be to converge "deconstructive" readings, who, from psychoanalysis to philosophy through a certain anthropology, are entitled to an approach in terms of "pharmakon", that is to say of ambivalence of the poison and the remedy, between Eros and Thanatos.The search for limits is the contemporary condition of the "uncertain individual", eternal adolescent. Here we find the "new psychic economy", making a sign towards a new clinical figure, that of the "borderline” patient, which knows multiple avatars and resists classifications.A number of essays on "discontent" intermingle individual clinical and cultural speculation, based on the key concept of "desymbolization". The lack of Law and the symbolic Father, however, seems an insufficient explanation, as does the reverse reading that leads to the libertarian headlong pursuit. Our reading of Lacan refuses to be part of this Old / Modern dualism, and focuses on the category of Ego Ideal and "unary trait" which suggests a knot of the symbolic with the imaginary, far from opposing them; it plays a vital role, allowing the symbolic to register. Symbolization is thus a process rather than a state, in which the subject is confronted, in ambivalence, with the question of its limits. He must convert the ideal Ego into the Ego Ideal.This is what myths allow to do, they are used to support, as mediating totems, the work of subjectivation, by engaging subjects in an identificatory and "transfictional" process that produces creative effects. In our era of “disenchantment of the world”, the available myths are only quasi-myths, "evasive" myths, against the background of discontent, and death of God. But popular literature, especially the one which is aimed at adolescents, like some vampire stories, offers "narcissistic romances", where Oedipus is now in the background. It revisits the character of Hamlet.Paradoxically, the figures of the mystics, adepts of limit-experiences and impregnated with ambivalence, close to Lacan by their "negative" theology of kenosis and their "apophatic" word, which cultivates loss, also find a new relevance, as well as the figure of the Apostle Paul, read by Agamben. His christology of the weak, depressed God, subject to lack, resonates like a deconstruction. It opens to a "time of the end", "time that remains", which suspends identities, defuses the powers and makes possible, perhaps, a "promise" and a "faith" in the sense of Derrida, in a ambivalent logic of the sacred where the Ideal is close to the abject.Therefore, should not the cure, by renouncing a too nosographic approach, and too much centered on the symbolic castration, endeavor to find the fruitful and invigorating trace of the unary trait, that is to say, to leave a place to the imaginary? Thus the analysis would play the role of a kind of "Camera Lucida": by letting out the "myths".But it is perhaps at the price of the risk, that of the fall, of the "skandalon", that one can hope that the subject is deprived of the ideal Ego and its traps, to effect another knotting, never foreseeable nor assured in advance, and always in the neighborhood of the "hole": a nomination, a sinthome

Full textFollowing the fall of the Fascist regime, Italy enters a phase of rebuilding and reconstruction, also on an ideological and cultural level. In the field of architecture, this phenomenon triggers debates about the link to the tradition, the dialog between history and practice of the architectural project, and a renewed relationship between the buildings and the city. This environment and the First Venice Biennale are conducive to Post-modernism theories to develop themselves. This intellectual renewal of the discipline is here analyzed via a particular focus: Paolo Portoghesi's one. This architect holds throughout his carrier several major positions in the educational field, research field, press sector, book publishing and also as a practitioner.The thesis aims at highlighting the role Portoghesi played in the history of the second half of the twentieth century, through his texts and works, and the testimonies of his contemporaries. After examining his work as an architectural historian and a Roman Baroque specialist (Chapter One), the study shows how his researches are used in the architectural conception, making him a representative of the operative criticism (Chapter 2). Considering his action as a teacher, Editor in Chief and President of the architectural section of the Venice Biennale, enables to position him in the Roman School of Architecture (Chapter 3) and as one of the major characters of Post-Modernism in Europe (Chapter 4). His life's path illustrates the transition between willing to stick to the spirit of the time and the theory of the genius loci, firstly through contemporary city conception (Chapter 5), then with the concept of “geo-architecture”

Full textThis PhD thesis is dedicated to a study on adolescence in the current social link. We put into relation several psychoanalytical concepts in order to acknowledge the difficulties of passing through adolescence that we observed in the Clinic.The methodology of this research is based on the study “CoPsyEnfant”. We used children’s and adolescents’ drawings in order to find out which are the identification models used today by children and adolescents. Clinical interviews and projective tests were used to help us to understand the subjectivity processes and hardships of adolescent passage in the current social link. The analysis of three clinical cases demonstrated several possible paths while passing through adolescence. We conclude on the question of the failure of the adolescent subject. The difficulty to grow can be heard today as the lack of desire to become an adult, as the impossible construction of the link to the big Other. At the end of this thesis we mention the Narcissus myth and the desiring subject’s destiny within a society which does not give the time to the desire to appear

Full textCombining realism and the sublime, time in nature and in social life, the texts of El-Mahdi Acherchour destroy the boundaries between wild and domestic spaces and continuously link the world of the living to that of the dead, the ancient times to the present, and oral traditions to writing practices. His texts are inscribed in the wake of postmodern aesthetics, presenting not only one plot, but infinite inserted narratives. For these major reasons, we propose to analyze these texts from a perspective that takes into consideration literary texts poetics and symbolic anthropology. In the first part of this research, devoted to the study of Acherchour’s last novel, Moineau (2010), we have endeavored to shed light on the problematics that are posed in the text. Moving from the paratext, to the chronotopes that structure this novel, and through the representation of the different characters that evolve in the narrative, some reflections on the writing of heterogeneous consistencies ( cultural heterology) have imposed themselves. Some questions linked to the wild and to the domestic, to the familiar and the strange(r), to writing and oral tradition, are varied consistencies that “Acherchourian” writing tries to hybridize. In the second part of this work, we have questioned, from the same perspective, two other novels of El Mahdi Acherchour: Pays d’aucun mal (2007) and Lui, le livre followed by l’Autre, l’autre livre (2005). These two novels address the same fictional settings and appeal to the same berber folklore figure (Zalgoum) in an aesthetic surge, which makes “le procès de l’unité”. The last part of this research deals with reading the established cultures in the poetry of El Mahdi Acherchour, notably in L’Oeil de l’égaré (1997) and Chemin des choses nocturnes (2003). At the crossroads of the culture(s) of the Self, and of the culture and language of the Other, the writing of El-Mahdi Acherchour takes an ‘entre-lieu’ position, in -between cultures, establishing his poetic and fictional oeuvre as a setting for ambivalence and coexistence. By appropriating the language and the culture of the Other, which is varied and heterogeneous, the verse and prose of El-Mahdi Acherchour propose a world vision centered on its syncretic reality

Full textHis study focuses on the works of Russell Banks, Raymond Carver and Richard Ford. They started writing during the 1960s and 1970s, at a time when the self-reflexivity and metafictional play of postmodernist writers were drawing a lot of critical attention in academic circles. However, they consider themselves to be realist writers. In “A Few Words about Minimalism,” John Barth suggested that the return to realist fiction in the mid-1970s could be both a reaction against so-called “postmodernist” fiction and a symptom of the social and economic unease of the period. Indeed, Cathedral, Continental Drift and The Sportswriter describe in accurate detail the everyday lives of ordinary American men and women during Reagan’s presidency. This study demonstrates that these authors are part of the American realist tradition, but that their strand of social realism also takes into account the postmodern context in which they write, by dealing with problems of representation that are typical of the period. Their works both use and challenge the literary conventions associated with the realist tradition, by underlining the artificiality of mimetic illusion at a time when reality itself is seen as a linguistic construct

Full textIrony is back. Today, we are witnessing a burst of literary and artistic productions which are characterized by "thoughtful lightness". The irony is often described as postmodern irony because of his bonds with the entire cultural symptom of the postmodern society. With the rise of writers of a new generation of Editions de Minuit among whom Jean Echenoz, Eric Chevillard and Jean-Philippe Toussaint are predecessors, the postmodern irony has asserted itself in French literary creation to which added Milan Kundera who is a writer of another generation and of another culture. Irony of these writers is not only used as a way to distance from the writing, but also a vision of the world that we would call it the "cheerful disenchantment". We explore the relationship of irony and question of existence in our research. First of all, irony is a cleaved conscience. Such conscience state has come true in a mode of speech as exteriorization of the cleaved conscience and a way of obtaining an overview. In this research, we would like to go into detail the following questions: where shall we be situated is the long process of separation? What have the subject, his action and his way of being become? Which is the mode of speech that is derived of the conscience of this contemporary subject? We try to answer these questions with our reflections brought to the irony phenomenon in the contemporary literary representation

Full textWe have studied, through a deliberately surprising figure, to study the relationships that unite the evolution of representations and the exercice of violence and to follow the genealogy of execution and the macabre. We have studied three great historical moments in the representation of beheadings. The first echoes the economy of power of the "splendour of punishment", from the xvth century and its redefinition of medieval and classical iconography to the "gardens of torture" of the theatre and painture of the baroque age, following the two "cultural dominants" of the time, questioning the sociopolitical objectif of the visual media. The progressive erotisation in the arts of judith, salome, david and other pageant figures, creates a disturbing link between eros and thanatos and sets a landmark in the history of the construction of the western sexuality. We have deconstructed the reenactments of this iconography born from the medieval fear of woman and we have questioned the issues of a generic violence that shows a terrorist misogynie. A new repressive dispositive is created in the court society, that announces the disciplinary dream of the carceral societies: the control of the bodies. In the xviiith century the control over (artistic) representations was an important medium in the strategy of interiorising the social repressive surveillance, and the logic of medieval punishment is transformed by a new economy of death, taken over by the medical discourse. A new disciplinary strategy is marked by the birth of sexuality as discourse and its association with the "theme of blood", that leads to "fin de siecle salomemania" and to freudian mythology. We have studied the transformation of the economy of disciplinary power of the xixth and first xxthe century into the "personnalisation process" of postmodern societies and its inflation of spectacular violence in the media, from the "hot" edge of the fifties to the "cool" one of the eighties, in clear contrast with the "death taboo" of the high culture

Full textLe contexte d'une œuvre rassemble l'ensemble des conditions matérielles, sociocognitives et culturelles qui contribuent à sa signification. Cependant l'interprétation d'un contexte est souvent faite de manière équivoque tant les sources du sens sont multiples et variées pour l'architecture.
Un examen rapide de l'évolution de la culture architecturale dans le courant du 20e siècle permet de situer la grande popularité de la question du contexte dans la seconde moitié de ce siècle. L'importance du contexte y apparaissait comme une force effective pour endiguer la crise du sens que connaissait l'architecture. Une sensibilité commune émergea au sein de trois courants architecturaux – appelés dans cette étude la Team 10, les Italiens et les Américains. Tous fondaient leurs interprétations sur l'idée que les conditions matérielles et historiques d'une situation donnée participent à la signification que prend l'œuvre architecturale chez ses habitants. Ils en déduisirent une série de notions originales qui constituent l'objet de cette étude.
Au moment du repli théorique amorcé au moment du postmodernisme, ces interprétations furent formalisées au sein de trois doctrines :le structuralisme, le rationalisme et le contextualisme. Dans ce cadre doctrinal, à chaque situation donnée pouvaient correspondre plusieurs contextes élaborés a priori et conditionnant sans détour l'œuvre architecturale qui y prenait place. Ainsi, alors que la signification d'un contexte est liée à sa spécificité, ces interprétations formalisées encourageaient la reproduction de stratégies d'interventions architecturales abstraites de toute contingence.
La critique du postmodernisme expliqua ces pratiques caricaturales par l'oubli du rôle actif des auteurs architectes dans le travail d'interprétation du contexte d'une œuvre. Un contexte ne doit pas être interprété seulement en tant que réalité habitée – trouvant son sens chez les habitants de l'œuvre – mais aussi en tant que réalité projetée. – trouvant son sens dans la conception de l'œuvre.
La première hypothèse de cette recherche avance qu'au sein des trois courants à l'origine des doctrines du structuralisme, du rationalisme et du contextualisme s'exprimait consciemment cette différence entre réalité habitée et réalité projetée. Si les formalisations doctrinales écartèrent l'importance de l'engagement créatif des architectes dans l'interprétation d'un contexte n'avait pas été oubliée chez les principaux auteurs de ces trois courants. La seconde hypothèse de cette recherche avance que l'interprétation d'un contexte en tant que réalité projetée est nécessaire pour renouveler le sens de l'œuvre qui y est associée. Par l'engagement de l'auteur architecte, peut naître une relation spécifique entre l'œuvre architecturale et son contexte, spécificité garante de la signification.
Ces deux hypothèses s'appuient sur deux développements. D'abord un double inventaire des principales notions relatives à la compréhension du contexte de l'œuvre architecturale en tant que réalité habitée et en tant que réalité projetée. Ces inventaires sont illustrés par quelques projets exemplaires traduisant l'impact de ces interprétations sur l'architecture construite. Ensuite par une réflexion théorique plus générale développant la relation possible entre la connaissance architecturale et l'œuvre au sein d'une réalité projetée. A la suite de ce second développement de nature épistémologique, nous avançons que par la nature intermédiaire que prennent les connaissances dans le cadre d'une réalité projetée, il s'instaure une relation de réciprocité – et non pas d'autorité - entre le théorique et le pratique.

Chabrier, Isabelle. "La carnavalisation dans le roman cubain contemporain." Thesis, Paris 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA030183.
Full textThis study sets out the Bakhtine “carnival dimension” in the Cuban contemporary novel (El arpa y la sombra by Alejo Carpentier, Paradiso by José Lezama Lima, De donde son los cantantes by Severo Sarduy, Tres tristes tigres by Guillermo Cabrera Infante, El color del verano o Nuevo “Jardín de las Delicias” by Reinaldo Arenas, La piel y la máscara by Jesús Díaz). Our main concern is to demonstrate that “upside down world characteristics” that fixe the “carnavalesque vision” proposed by the Russian theorist is part of the writing in the integration of the carnival’s codes both as literary themes as narrative techniques. In a reading exceeding the baroque concept associated up to now with the Cuban novels of our corpus, we envisage the resurgence of the carnival’s former popular traditions, the mixture between tribute and irreverence, sacralization and deconsecration, as the symptom of the Cuban subject’s crisis, the postmodern expression of the rejection of the idols at the same time as the demonstration of a deep desire to recover a temporary freedom in the carnivalized literary representation and to plunge into a golden age celebrated by the carnival
