Vidal, Véronique. "John Barth : approche du personnage romanesque." Toulouse 2, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987TOU20085.
Full textThe character of fiction should not be considered as a given, rather it is a construction produced through the text. In john barth's first six works, the character is produced along the lines of several parameters: naming and attribution of features inherent to or exterior to the character: mask and role, the other , another character both contrary and complementary, or the character himself seen as other to be reached at the end of a sea-journey. The name, often sought after in a quest, is double or multiple, in any case unreachable. Though a shifting attribute, it nevertheless remains the sign through which the character's identity can be infered; the character's name insures his survival in the text. A single mask or role warrants the existence of the character: there is nothing behind the mask, without a role the character is struck motionless. However, the role remains out of reach. When suddenly parted from his twin, the character vainly seeks to recover the lost unity through a fusion with his role. The other as another character cannot be reached: they enter a relation modelled after the moebius strip; ironically the moment of their coincidence is forever delayed. Lastly, the sea-journey -the characters's attempt to find a regenerate selfis a parody: it is a failure. The character is defined through the building process more than through its final achievement. The character's last help is language which frames a solipsist universe in never-ending self-parody. The character as a speaker-writer fills up his own void by a proliferation of words

Full textThe work of the postmodern american novelist john barth is strongly connected with intertextuality, the dialogical relationship between a text and other texts, conventions of writing, generic and logical constraints, etc, which conditioned its existence. Barth, formerly a jazz musician, who describes himself as a reorchestrator, clearly emphasizes this constitutive heteterogeneity. This study takes letters as its starting-point: it is an epistolary fiction, described as "realistic" and obsessed by the themes of recycling and revolution. First i focus on external intertextuality: showing how the text accumulates quotations, deconstructs the realistic model and parodies the epistolary genre, while transgressing the history fiction limit. The 2nd part is devoted to inner intertextuality: the narcissistic relation of the text with itself (self-generation), and the way letters recycles all barth's previous texts. A third part stresses the main perspectives of the work: its tension between originality and repetition, and the way it "frames" its reader (unstable plot, reflexivity). I show how the text questions the notions of author and authority, and paradoxically escapes the power of metalanguages

Full textThe perception and the representation of the self are major concerns in the works of the contemporary american novelist john barth, as these two issues provide his novels with a coherence that belie their apparent diversity. This dissertation aims at analyzing the evolution of a writer who first ponders on the difficulty for the individual to express his shattered and emptied out perception of himself, yet who eventually manages to subdue the question of the self in a fiction that tends paradoxically to get more and more autobiographical. The first part focuses on barth's first two novels, and on the spectacular yet slippery discourses of two narrators unable to define themselves as consistent subjects, who write to try and overcome their intimate void. The second part analyzes barth's subsequent attempts at demystifying a literature and culture intent on building up the myth of the independant self, first through parody then through deconstruction, in novels of a playful and disrespecful nature. However, beside the playfulness, there transpires in these novel be budding confidence in the other, reader or lover, towards whom barth's characters project their desire to be, although tey are well aware of their inner nothingness. Barth's latest novels, which are examined in the third part, ratify the impossibility to express the dislocated self and to evade the deceitful nature of representation. Yet this double failure liberates a tendency towards the fictive recreation of oneself in novels which paradoxically mix autobiographical yet openly fictionalized elements. The author stages the fictions of his own existence and promotes the image of the couple, which appears to him as the sole refuge of an identity that gets alienated yet inscribed in the eyes of the other. Aware of the fictive nature of self-representation, barth leads his reader into a delighted wandering through fiction, in the opening out of an ever expending literature

Full textA paradox in contemporary american fiction is that writers, in trying to outline an identity for their characters, limit the possible developement of their behaviour. On the other hand, the way out of this enclosure means fluidity and thus, a loss of identity. This is true for the works of john barth and kurt vonnegut, analysed here through two of their novels. The decentered postmodern structure that characterizes them implies the acceptance of the fragmentation and dissolution of the frontiers of the self and requires a permanent effort from the protagonists to find a solution to defend themselves from potential aggressions. The power of masks enables them to control the others and to manipulate them as they like. This study deals with masks and role playing in the novels the floating opera and the end of the road by john barth and mother night and deadeye dick by kurt vonnegut. It also analyzes their consequences on the protagonists who wear them and on their relationships with those around them. When they abandon their masks, their vulnerable selves hinder them from a complete envolvement. Their destinies puzzle the reader in his efforts to understand the roles of the self and of the mask in action. Thus, the relationship between the characters becomes a game between the author and the reader, which mirrors itself at the level of the narration through a multitude of narrative masks
