Full textCette thèse examine comment les ouvrages In Search of April Raintree, de Beatrice Culleton, Obasan, de Joy Kogawa, et Running in the Family, de Michael Ondaatje, perturbent, par leur respect et leur transgression des règles de l'autobiographie littéraire, les formulations du "sujet" historique liées aux conventions propres à ce genre. Le site principal d'interprétation réside donc dans la délimitation des contours des narrateurs de ces textes en tant que "sujets" qui, tout à fois, écrivent l'histoire et sont écrits par elle. Cette thèse démontre que ces "fictions autobiographiques" inscrivent des récits qui remettent en question les comptes rendus "officiels" et examinent les articulations au sexe et à la "race", tant à l'intérieur de ces inscriptions officielles que dans leurs propres collectivités historiquement constituées. Ces dé(placements) textuels sont interprétés à la lumière des discours critiques du post-modernisme et du post-colonialisme. fr

Full textAlice Lyttkens (1897-1991) was a very popular author in Sweden during several decades in the middle of the twentieth century. She was most famous for her historical novels. During her first period as a novelist in the 1930s, however, she wrote contemporary fiction, reflecting the situation of contemporary Women. The traditional view of the two sexes as “complementary” permeated the interwar period. Complementary at this time was presupposed as an asymmetrical and hierarchical relation between the two sexes. The male was seen as superior to the female in being strong when she was weak etc. According to the Swedish researcher Kristina Fjelkestam’s dissertation Ungkarlsflickor, kamrathustrur och manhaftiga lesbianer this view was close at hand in representations of femininity. In this paper I discuss how the protagonists in Alice Lyttkens novels Flykten från vardagen (1933) and - kommer inte till middagen (1934) relate to this social norm, or ”doxa”. By making such an analysis I come to the conclusion that this ”doxa” is represented in both novels, but strongly challenged by the protagonists in their actions and life choices. The narrator also questions the predominated complementary view and demonstrates the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings throughout the novels. The author there by emphasizes a critical feminist attitude. The narrator is also critical of the superficial so-called modern characters, which apparently is under the influence of the ”doxa”.

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to analyze verbal images in the work of the Argentinian writer Juan José Saer. By analyzing his novels, shorts stories and the unpublished film script Las nubes de Magallanes, we wish to understand the implications of the verbal images in the construction of a specific aesthetics and epistemology.Throughout the analysis of verbal and mental images in the work of Saer, this study has two fundamental aims: first, to show that description and narration are intimately linked; second, that this link enables us to think arts and sciences in the work of Saer in a non-dualistic way. The narrative structure by which we analyze the images seeks the complementarity of the opposites. This allows us to think the connection that man has with the world as well as the link between art and sciences as elements of a holistic system, instead of dualistic. The key to this new form of narration will be an aesthetic of empathy

Full textIsaac Newton's third Law of Motion states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." When things collide, there is an immutable effect on both the initiator and the reactor. In the same way, people are in constant motion, "colliding" with one another and irrevocably changing in the process. It was only when I had to live on my own at Boston College that I realized how much the people in my life had such a powerful influence in my life. They are the ones who guided me to evolve into the person I am today. Swayed by my scientific background, I had always believed that I was mostly predestined by my genetic makeup: who I will ultimately become was written in my DNA from conception. However, living in a suite with seven other women and developing close relationships with people who were so unique made me question everything: my beliefs, my approach, my reactions, my opinions. The first chapter is a personal experience I had with my mother in dealing with the cultural and language barriers we had to face. A great deal of our misunderstandings arose because I was the first generation in my family to be born in America and to pursue a higher education at college. Many children come to a point when they rebel against everything their parents tell them to do because they do not understand why their parents do and say the things they do. It is only after the child and the parents can come to a mutual comprehension of each other that steps can be made toward building a stronger relationship, a relationship that goes beyond the simple acts of obedience — or rebellion — and of giving commands. My parents had immigrated to America in their early twenties in pursuit of better opportunities for their future. It was not until I was older and when my relationship with my mother had deepened that I could begin to comprehend her side of the story, her journey, her past which had influenced her decisions that she had made for her children. In order to recount this experience creatively, pieces of conversations that I had with my mother are woven throughout my scenes and my mother's scenes, which, in their stark contrast, causes a palpable tension. Being able to recount the memories in retrospect gives the ability to compare each experience and to reach an understanding. The second chapter is an exploration of the ripple effect amongst strangers and how individuals are all connected in one way or another. Our influences are felt by those around us, even though we may not be directly connected with them. Opening with a dramatic scene, the reader is taken sequentially backwards in time, tracing the steps that the seemingly unconnected characters had taken, ultimately understanding the woman's motivation. Each individual's secrets and conditions all culminate into that moment where one person tries to take her own life. It is rarely one isolated moment that triggers action. Like a snowball that rolls down a hill, increasing its speed and its size over time, various facets of one's life and of other's lives collect together to produce a bigger consequence of which one is aware. The concluding chapter of this series explores the fictional world of a family dealing with the repercussions of their past actions. Each individual's decisions had ramifications for the rest of the family, which they struggle to deal with years later. Characters face guilt, anger, bitterness, and responsibility, as they are constantly reminded of the day when their lives came crashing down. Instead of telling these characters' story by starting from the past and proceeding to the present in chronological order, I decided to include pieces of information and scenes from their memories for the reader to piece together. In the end, the reader is left with having to make a decision: with whom will he or she ultimately sympathize? Will he or she even make that choice? This comprehensive and tedious project provided many obstacles and tensions throughout the year, but it was a journey and a journey worth taking. Before this year, I was never afforded the opportunity to pursue a goal I had set for myself after watching "A Walk to Remember" in high school: to write a novel. It has been rewarding to see the end product of constant revisions, of constant criticisms, and of constant growth

Full textAfter several decades of discussion, the debate on the corporate interest gave the illusion of having exhausted its resources. This notion has been propelled at the heart of the new corporate law topics, including that of corporate governance. Since the advent of corporate governance in France, the role of corporate interest has taken a new dimension. However, other developments erode the concept, particularly the dematerialization of the business and social capital. Imminently, the emerging conflict between horizontality and verticality of corporate interest makes the latter evolve. This is especially true since corporate law has changed to better respond to such new economic demands that encouraged the emergence of interests. This change was particularly expressed by a subjectivation of the standard of law shaped by a proceduralisation of law as to promote greater democracy in societies. By phasing reason in the law, the legislatures have modernized the societies. But this modernization is more alike regression than progress because it establishes a return to the natural state of things. This profound transformation of corporate law did not remain without consequences for the corporate interest. By recognizing the existence of the diverging interests the positive law has dismantled the traditional function of corporate interest which was to hide or, at least veil, the inherent differences and contradictions of corporate life. Through the role of corporate interest, the assessment results and prospects of this fundamental concept of company law have arisen. Upon its evaluation, the role to be traditionally associated with the corporate interest has emerged. This role is to conceal the veil. Incidentally, it has given some answers as to the legal nature of the corporate interest, a topic which has much divided the scholars. This study proposes a new interpretation of this concept through a systematic approach that explores the procedural rationale, going in depth of the French legal system. By analyzing its prospects, this study found a lifting of the veil of corporate interest, which is part of the modernization of company law. Once the veil lifted, the law faces a pluralism of interests and conflicts. To accommodate this regressive trend of the law, this study proposes the consecration of a community of interests in support of social interest. In this regard, the role of corporate interest changed from its concealment to its regulation, passing through its dissembling

Full textWe remember childhood injustices for the rest of our lives. They are thorn-like memories, piercing and immediate, affecting us long after we have matured and moved on with our lives. The wounds of childhood have been written about by some of literature's greatest writers, including most notably James Joyce, in his masterpiece A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. In this creative work I try to investigate, through the voices of children, the role of wounds in the growing character of a child. Wounds both literal and metaphorical dominate the narrative, which is told from a variety of perspectives as one group of friends from one neighborhood advance through elementary school. My goal in this work is to portray the painfully observant nature of children — to show how much they absorb in the early years of their lives, the scope of which adults might not realize. I also try to capture the humor and tragedy of children's voices, and to create a whole world as seen through the eyes of children
