Grange, Marion. "Une Terre en migrations : enquête dans les littératures francophones contemporaines." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris, EHESS, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024EHES0043.
Full textThe ecological crisis and what has been termed in Europe, since 2015, the "migration crisis" stand out as the two major pitfalls of contemporary habitation, both pointing towards an increasingly inhospitable Earth. Moreover, these two "crises" are intertwining today in a new way. As planetary limits become apparent and the former "Earth of humankind" has taken on the unrecognizable face of Gaia - a shifting and reactive figure, woven from a multitude of uncontrollable agents - humanity and all living beings find themselves collectively embarked in an unprecedented migratory condition, in search of an Earth "where they can land" (Bruno Latour). This thesis is sparked by the image of the "loss of the Earth" that has become symptomatic in the contemporary field of ecological thought, and asks "who loses (or has lost) what, on which Earth?" From the perspective of Francophone literatures, and in dialogue with social sciences and postcolonial studies, it conducts an investigation into the transformation of terrestrial imaginaries, at the intersection of ecological and migratory issues. We call "Gaiagraphies" the texts that, in literature or within environmental humanities, attempt to apprehend a retreating Earth, from Patrick Chamoiseau to Kossi Efoui, from Bruno Latour to Donna Haraway, including Rachel Carson, Fabienne Raphoz, Aimé Césaire, Édouard Glissant, or Michel Deguy. With them, we examine terrestrial migrations through the prism of a dual expansion. A temporal expansion: we delve into the colonial period, an era of conquering migrations and Transatlantic deportations, to uncover the migratory and ecological imaginaries (colonial and decolonial) it helped forge, and which continue to act in the present. An expansion of the forms of life considered: we look beyond human migrations alone to examine the migrations of all living beings; we then question the meaning and scope of literary propositions that seek to think about the human through the migrating bird, or to take the detour of the traveling seed. In this journey through the imaginaries of the "critical zone" - from damaged soils to the worlds found underground, underwater and in the undergrowth, from the cosmic sky to islands connected in an archipelago, Gaia emerges as an Earth in perpetual migrations, creole and decolonial, constantly reshaped by the journeys of migratory living beings

Full textHaving successfully taken up the challenge of going beyond the limits of folklore, French-Vietnamese fiction offers an original point of view on the ideas of women, history and exile. These elements are staged in different contexts of social and political domination, but they nevertheless set up very similar strategies of resistance. This is why, among all the issues raised by the representations framed by these works, that of resistance was chosen, since it is so rich and revealing of the complexity of their literary identity. How is resistance described in French-Vietnamese works? What is being resisted against? What is at stake in this resistance?This study is focused on the works of four French-Vietnamese contemporary writers: Linda Lê, Kim Lefèvre, Ly Thu Ho and Anna Moï. These female writers provide answers to the questions above by highlighting three correlated and intertwined dominations: resistance to male domination, to overarching history, and to the glorification of a frozen national identity. The framework of the analysis is that of resistance studies.This approach enables a systematic description of the resistance figures encountered in these fictional works. The field of investigation first reveals the issue of the representation of Vietnamese women, torn between a Confucean and patriarchal society and that of modern France. It also implies the study of the means developed in these works to avoid the traps of a writing of Vietnamese history that allows little space to subaltern voices of the Vietnamese, and of women in particular. Finally, through the analysis of exile as a hidden form of insubordination, we will question the way in which French-Vietnamese narrative gives initiative to the postcolonial woman subject and enables her to appropriate contributions from outside without denying her ethics and her identity

Full textBased on the features of mythological, historical and tradition ogres, this thesis questions the rehabilitation and timeliness of the myth of the ogre in a corpus of texts from the most varied French territories. The thesis is structured into five thematic chapters. The first chapter focuses on the birth of the ogre as myth and iconic character of culture and oral tradition in different territories. The second chapter discusses the regimes and tyrants which reign in the ogre: if "ogre" is the name for any tyrannical leader and dictator, he is represented in the texts by a variety of names and faces. In continuation of this research, the third chapter deals with the myth of the ogre from a social and familial perspective. The new avatars of the ogre in the contemporary are the fathers: destructive fathers, suffocating/degrading ones, and practitioners of a metaphorical cannibalism. Excessiveness lies in the violence with which they govern their families. In a Freudian perspective, the fourth chapter focuses on the relationship (sexual) impossible between parents and their offspring generated by symbolic castration, incest and sexual debauchery. The final chapter builds on the declination of the female ogre, ogress in the proposed body. Stunning character, which taking the most seductive forms, is inside only a monster ready to satisfy all her desires of any kind. The revival of the myth of the ogre in contemporary French prose is all too visible

Full textBy choosing to work on representations of homosexuality in French-speaking sub-Saharan African countries, we pursued three goals at our fingertips. Insurgency against the silence of several African scholars to address the theme of homosexuality in their scientific work, to make it our reflection has therefore imposed itself on us imperatively. Indeed, our first objective (epistemological) was to take an interest in this theme, which still remains an almost unexplored and untapped field of literature in French-speaking Africa, in order to reflect on the issues raised by this highly pregnant sexuality today. In other words, the disinterest or the lack of interest of a large number (of scholars) has undoubtedly drove in us an extra motivation whose result of this work can claim to be the echo. It should be noted that while fiction works abound, this is not the case for scientific work on the subject. The other aim, this time pragmatic, was to refute the idea that homosexuality is an exogenous sexuality to Africa. An idea that makes gay people more uncomfortable and feel apart because of their sexuality. As we have amply demonstrated in the light of Charles Guebogo's work, homosexuality is transcultural and therefore it has always existed among many African peoples. However, its current questioning is not that of past societies. Morals change with time, including men. It is therefore a conviction for us to (re)store self-esteem, trust and consideration to those people who are marginalized because of their sexual orientation. In doing so, we have emphasized acceptance, affirmation and self-representation of one's homosexuality. The last goal is much more personal and it aims at satisfying an intellectual curiosity. Why does this sexuality arouse so much debate these days, divide families or homes in some countries, yet so insignificant in Greek antiquity? Is homosexuality only a sexual act between two or more people of the same sex or does it go beyond genitality? Queries that our many readings and above all our analyzes have allowed to understand otherwise than with a look judge or intolerant attitude towards homosexuals

Full textThe literature of the French-speaking Black Africa was perceived for a long time even theorized like concerning an ordinary literature of engagement because of the history of the continent. This design, in a certain manner, unconsciously harmed the image which one could have of this literature. It is from the Eighties, after the collapse of the Communism, that the concept of literary engagement seems, to be constrained to evolve and to renew itself putting more and more the African writer in a rather uncomfortable situation divided between the desire to remain a political writer, near to his people concerns, and the desire to assert a creative autonomy. Nowadays, if the question of artistic engagement makes debate again, it’s certainly not a question of chance according to the confused and dubious time we must cope with. Indeed, we attend a loss of the reference marks and ideals leading the men of thought (intellectual, writers) to adopt writing projects, i. E. Engagements, different in their work of creation. What are the interrogations that were faced or are still faced to the sub-Saharan committed literature in this universalization era? Thus, our study tries to analyze the evolution of this problematic until the faintness current of the new African writers in French language, confronted with a problem of redefinition contents of literary engagement

Full textWhat is "author's fiction"? By this theme we designate a set of literary texts that focuses on the making of a character writer and the reception of the fictional book. This phenomenon was born in French literature following two consecutive publications on the death of the author. These acts of death of the author have thus generated the author's production parade in the French novel to try to revive him. They introduced the principle of immanence leading to the erasure of the author in favor of writing. Thus, without trying to confront the different literary fields, this thesis constitutes a panorama of the identifying elements of a writer's character in the French-speaking novel and a means for the author to reveal to the readers the underpinnings of his writing profession. To capture the anchor of this fictional novelist in the French text, this study is based on literary sociology and literary poetics

Full textThis thesis is divided in two main parts : the study of novelistic patterns and the problems of writing. The first part deals with biographical elements, proving that the chosen authors, nathalie sarraute, mohammed dib, rachid boudjedra, tierno monenembo and sony labou tansi, all felt a desire to break with their original literary style. The composition of the novels, both internally and externally, has been studied in order to prove how the presentation, the introduction and the dedication create a meaningful whole. The division of text (chapters, intertextual references, typography) has also been analysed in terms of its relevance to the novel. The last section of this first part studies the time and space elements within the novel. The second part of this work is focussed on the difficulties presented by writing. The first chapter deals with character study (classification, psychologie and inter-character relationships) and the second chapter deals with the narrator's status (wheter first or third person, etc. ) finally, the third chapter studies the varied uses of the french language through style and above all the reader's responses to this

Full textAs a result of traumatic events experienced during the colonial period, female authors from Africa writing in French or Portuguese and belonging to the mainstream of post-colonial literature chose the novel, from the 1980s onward, as vehicle for reconstructing female identity – a subject about which they speak freely.Proceeding both from the Portuguese-language novels of Paulina Chiziane, Ngonguita Diogo, Lueji Dharma and Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, and from the (mostly autobiographical) French-language novels of Véronique Tadjo, Calixthe Beyala, Léonora Miano and Tanella Boni, the present study uses the methods of comparative literature to show how colonialisation, slavery, war, suffering, the break-down of family structures, the imposition of European language and culture and, finally, mass migration lead to the destruction, obliteration and fragmentation of the identity of those novels’ characters.At the same time, those very characters actively deconstruct the models of identity inherited from colonialism while seeking to reconstruct their own identity by questioning contemporary society and notions of exile and migration, and by acknowledging their place in an « Afropolitan » culture reuniting the « Africans of the World ». The culmination of this quest is the recognition of an hybrid identity encompassing tradition, modernity and pluralism.Thus the French- and Portuguese-speaking African authors of our corpus call into question received ideas and, in search of the reconstruction and affirmation of womanhood, address complex topics including exile (voluntary or involuntary), homosexuality, dance as pleasure and therapy, and music – to name but a few.This multiple approach, based on the reappropriation of African components and the revisitation of European ones, allows the creation of an identity which, far from remaining fixed, can engender a dynamic process and renew transfer and exchange between those two [and other cultures

Full textThis study in the field of literary imagology investigates the representations of the Portuguese both in French and Portuguese narratives, from 1950 to 2000. By the end of the 70s, Portuguese have become the most important foreign community in France. We analyze the speeches and the images conveyed by human and social sciences, but also by the Portuguese propaganda agencies and various guides intended for foreigners. Thus, we try to define the main aspects of the Portuguese imaginary identity and to shed light on the myths that are related to it. It appears that some images issued by Salazar and his ideologues have survived until today. They have been conveyed by writers who were admirers of the dictator and who developed certain topics, often related to the history of Portugal. But, after the “Revolution of the carnations”, the literary figures of the Portuguese become less conventional. Fiction concentrates on families and young people stemming from the immigration, who are often presented as dominated or eccentric figures. A few writers have preferred to write about their wanderings in Lisbon, daydreaming without ever meeting “real” Portuguese. In Portugal, the censorship silenced the authors who resisted the dictatorship. In order to be published, works had to harp on the ideology of the Portuguese adventurer or to evoke the failure of emigration (such an image was supposed to prevent Portuguese from leaving their country). With the advent of democracy, political exile and emigration, two topics that were previously held in contempt, became important Portuguese literary themes. The authors have tended to question their identity as well as the meaning of the return to their native country. Ultimately, it appears that the two literatures intersected very rarely, as the low number of translations would show

Full textDepuis la Révolution des oeillets, le Portugal et la France n‟ont cessé de publier de nombreux ouvrages visant à une meilleure connaissance du monde portugais1. La publication des guides de voyage a explosé, les éditeurs se sont spécialisés dans la littérature portugaise, mais connaît-on mieux le Portugal et les Portugais ? Les discours sur les Portugais sont-ils si différents aujourd‟hui de ceux distillés sous Salazar ? L‟Europe du Sud a maintenant rejoint l‟Europe des pays riches, alors qu‟elle a longtemps été assimilée à la pauvreté, que ce soit l‟Espagne, le Portugal ou bien la Grèce. Cette perception s‟est accentuée avec la migration des personnes. Les habitants du Sud traversaient la frontière pour une vie meilleure, le plus souvent clandestinement, comme ce fut le cas pour les Portugais. Si la mobilité touristique est caractérisée par un axe Nord/Sud, la mobilité migrante s‟opère selon un axe Sud/Nord. C‟est dans une perspective de mobilité que nous allons examiner un corpus d‟une centaine d‟oeuvres littéraires, auxquelles nous avons ajouté des témoignages et des livres de référence. En effet, les Portugais ont fait l‟objet d‟études sociologiques, historiques, statistiques, mais peu de chercheurs se sont intéressés à l‟histoire de leurs représentations dans la littérature contemporaine et en particulier dans le genre romanesque, qui traduit mieux que tout autre l‟intériorisation par un individu de son histoire et de l‟Histoire.

Full textExile and roaming are recurrent themes in the contemporary literature of the lesser english and french antilles. The works of a. Cesaire, e. Glissant, g. Pineau, d. Radford, saint-john perse, a. And s. Schwarz-bart, n. Bissoondath, v. S naipaul, c. Philipps, s. Selvon and d. Walcott bear the marks of the exodus and exiles of the antillean people. The considered corpus is composed of poems, novels, essays and texts with an autobiographical character. The study questions the way authors write the story of exile and their own exile story. It sounds out the relationship between the mother continents - africa and india - and the occidental countries : france, great britain, canada and the united states. The first part, " exiles memories ", studies the dialectic of the memory and the forgetfulness, analyses the elaboration of the memory places - ocean of the conquest, sea of the deportation, mythical africa and india. It explores the track : manifestation of a fragmentary and often lacunar memory. The second part, "migrant writings", has been consecrated to the exile in the west. It studies the texts in which the "i" is predominant and is situated between autobiography and fiction. It considers the part of the author's character in his writing and the spaces of the migration. " the roaming in the world" questions the "deterritorialisation" concept. This part focuses on the work of saint-john perse, e. Glissant and d. Walcott. The feeling to be west indian, which the three authors differently share, opens on the referent seas and the american continent. The concept of roaming, that can be found in the writing process itself, generates poetics and elaborates a multiple cartography. Inspired by different sources, it carries through the idea of a non exclusive belonging. Emerges an exile and roaming literature that is open of the whole world

Full textThe core issue of this PhD thesis is the Faerie People (Fairies, Elves, Goblins, etc.) who originate from traditional folklore and pagan beliefs. Although this imaginary world was forsaken in the 19th century by a French literature which did not consider it as a serious topic, the growth of a new children literature in the 20th century has allowed a revival of the allegorical nature of these characters for entertaining purposes. It is necessary to demonstrate how the Faerie People is identified, described and used in a corpus that comprises different media, such as novels, comics, cinema, television, and video games. Besides, it will be interesting to understand the different elements which explain the renewal of these ancient characters and its impact on our society.How do the contemporary artists choose to represent these magical characters in their works? What impact does such phenomenon have on cultures and media? What are the challenges of this revival for our society which no longer believes in these popular legends? All these questions are developed in this work.In a nutshell, the representation of the Faerie People in our contemporary imaginary corpus is the core issue of this thesis. Based on the revival of an ancestral tradition, this study is carried out from a cultural, literary, social, marketing, and historical perspective as it seems to reflect our society’s need to get to the roots of this imaginary world

Full textIn a study based on a sociolinguistic movement which considers the attitude of writing it in front of the second language, the question of interest is about the problem of the language of writing, its imaginary and the actual consequences on poetic textual. To be made, three kind of corpus are considered: literary texts of African French-speaking authors, the paratextes of these authors and finally individual readings on the chosen texts. In this view, we try to seize a breaking-down point between two generations, that of the tropicalization of the French language and that of the Varying. The way of to say is a detail for Africanizing the language of writing in the phase of Tropicalization; in the writing of the miscellaneous, it becomes variation in a dialogical plurality, we speak then about the Francophony in the broad sense. The description of the practices of writing in these two phases is underlain by a will to establish a sub-discipline that we call the sociolinguistics of heterolinguistic text. Indeed, the social factors which transport the literary text should be taken into account by the sociolinguistics, hence the sociolinguistics of the text. As for the hétérolinguisme, a concept of this sub-discipline for which we wish, it is the rustle of the languages and\or the variants in an unilingue writing of a bilingual. The ultimate question of this theory is to know which pedagogy we can extract from this sociolinguistics of the heterolingual text. The heterodidactisme will thus be a notion left in prospect

Full textThe purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to contribute to the study of the French variation in the Lesser Antilles, analyzing lexical particularities in a contemporary literary corpus: the novels L’Homme-au-Bâton (1992) and L’Envers du décor (2006) written by the Antillean author Ernest Pepin.After a short presentation of several specific phenomena from the francophone Caribbean area, we will make an inventory of the main sources we had at our disposal for the lexicological study of the Antillean regionalisms.Different types of regionalisms were discovered and they will be commented: heritages, bor-rowings, formal and / or semantic innovations. The two novels written by Ernest Pepin repre-sent a good corpus to illustrate the lexical productivity of the variety of French from the Lesser Antilles and its multiple possibilities of expression.The best represented semantic fields are: food, music, flora, fauna and spiritual life. At the formal level, the compounding is the most productive type of word formation. At the seman-tic level, some phenomena of semantic restriction and extension, and the building of new meanings by metaphor and metonymy among others can be observed.The lexical analysis of the regionalisms in a literary corpus raises many methodological problems (making the distinction between regionalisms and idiolectal phenomena, rebuilding the history of the words, ethical problems, difficulties related to lexicographic tools and tech-niques, working with disparate and ambiguous data).Our doctoral thesis could be a step forward towards a complex dictionary of the variety of French in the Lesser Antilles, but a lot of ideas are for the moment still on drawing board and the researches should continue in this direction

Full textThe contact with the Other, so called because of its cultural, skin color or phenotype difference, has generated a deep upheaval into the sociocultural structures and affected territories by the slave and colonial systems. Nowadays, the new generation natives of those territories are facing transformations that we are investigating in order to bring out the colonial survivals and the new sociological phenomena described by the contemporary French-speaking authors. The subjects analyzed by the latter in their works are expressing interactions based on ideological, racial, physical, cultural differences and/or similarities, in the three geographical areas: the Antilles (Martinique, Guadeloupe), Africa (black and French-speaking sub-Saharan) and Metropolitan France. The novel becomes then a dissection instrument of the effects of the presence and the domination of Western ideology and culture. Thereby, we discover the different types of relations, White/Black, former slave driver/former slave, former dominant/former dominated, former colonizer/former colonized, from the authors point of view. In a social context dominated by human movements and intercultural exchanges, the crossed looks of the characters focus on the various forms of otherness and identity and on the current problems in relation with race, immigration, exile, racism

Full textThis research is composed of two complementary parts. The first one entitled "secondary school teaching and the study of French literary texts and texts by French speaking authors "is devoted first to the analysis of the French language situation in morocco as well as to the dichotomy of whether to consider French as a language of communication or as a language of culture. In the second stage, this part examines, in the light of both the receptive and the didactic theories, the position of French literary texts and texts by French - speaking authors at the level of both primary and secondary school teaching. It also examines the criteria behind selecting those texts and the methods used for their understanding. The reading of French literary texts at the university level is the subject of the second part. It is related, on the one hand, to a knowledge of the authors, to the works under study, and to the aspirations and expectations of the reading public questioned on the subject matter. On the other hand, it focuses on a corpus of university research papers dealing with the literature of both the "Maghreb" and the negro-African countries. These works are analysed in such a way as to find out about the modes of perception and the different intellectual operations used by the students for their interpretation of literary texts

Full textViolence comes across black african French-speaking theatrical production since its origins. It is prone to thematic and aesthetic changes which makes it evolve from one period to another. We have thus passed from confined theatres of assimilated violence where the form was a constraint to an outburst of writings dealing with violence in contemporary works. Violence appears in the plays of William Ponty (1930) under the form of cultural conflict drawn from African customs. Turned into political violence, it embarks the dramaturgic categories during the Seventies in the confrontation of the colonizer against the colonised. With the theatre of the 1980’s, violence, still political, takes however another form marked by an attempt to disrupt with classical theatrical canons. Associating the burlesque with tragedy, bypassing the French language, establishing a dialogue between tradition and modernity through an endogenous writing are as many realities characterizing the expression of conflicts about disillusionnement. In most of the plays following the1990’s, on the other hand, the conflicts take on a plural image which convenes the world through distinctive modes of expression. It results in a hybrid writing in which violence is voiced out through the dislocation of the dramatic categories and of the meaning that emerges out of it. From this scriptural dynamics of violence arises a displacement of the theatrical stakes in so far as African dramas today get rid of the nationalist inclinations to endorse the world’s realities. Thus the opening of contemporary theatres to the world creates a variety of forms whose complexity calls into question the concept of Africanity

Full textOur subject of reflection consisted in thinking of what makes link between the French-speaking literature of subsaharian Africa and the Antilles, in addition to the history. We dealt with the writing strategies deployed by the authors, to stand out, to reveal their existence. On the basis of the French word “marronnage”, taking its name from Spanish “Cimarron” used to qualify this historical phenomenon related to slavery, we started to think about its literary transposition. The literary mythologizing of the Maroon by authors such as Eugène Dayot, Louis-Timagène Houat, and more recently Glissant, has enabled to develop aesthetics of the survival, to value the identity of the Marron, herald of the Antillean people, in the resistance to slavery. The main part of our work was about the extension of this theme of the marronnage to the colonial and postcolonial periods, by setting as postulate the hypothesis of the existence of a form of intellectual marronnage as foundation of negro-African aesthetics, established by the forerunners of the Negritude, Senghor and Césaire, whose most original but often unknown work was the conquest of a language of the negritude. The French-speaking contemporary writers of subsaharian Africa, for instance Alain Mabanckou and Fatou Diome, in a context of an internationalist dynamics and a literary space conditioned by the diktats of an eurocentrist criticism, applied a form of ( trans ) esthetic marronnage, but also with a doubled “linguistic surconscience”, by developing strategies intended for subversively setting at the heart of the language the print of a claimed abnormality, as only means to make their identity known

Full textAt the crossroads of the sociology of culture and postcolonial studies, this dissertation explores the mechanisms by which contemporary writers from Francophone countries of sub-Saharan Africa attain literary recognition. The empirical material comprises archives, interviews with writers, publishers, and cultural agents; ethnographic observations of cultural events; and a statistical survey of 404 writers who were socialized in this part of the world, and who were active between 1983 and 2008. Their legitimation follows two waves: the first occurs in the early eighties and the second in the mid-nineties. The increase in the number of publications, the importance of the novel in the hierarchy of literary genres, and the evolution of the publishing industry combine to structure an African literary space. Its stake is the legitimate definition of the African writer, related to the nature of the writer’s relationship to Africa. The authors located in this space are socially elite and often mobile. From the eighties onwards, the number of new female writers has increased steadily; writers are more professionalized and more often settled outside Africa. Publishers in Paris have played a decisive role in a book market partly dissociated from the markets prevailing in African countries. The analysis of these global evolutions is complemented by case studies: the controversy surrounding the manifesto “Toward a World Literature in French” seen as a collective mobilization; the representation of colonization in the texts of Amadou Hampâté Bâ and Ahmadou Kourouma; and letters from readers

Full textAs it induces a long-term study embracing both imperial literature and contemporary glossaries, the evocation of an encyclopaedic temptation aims to examine a heuristic continuum between colonial and postcolonial eras. It highlights the evolution of a specific scholarly discourse, characterized by an overarching position of classification as well as a predilection for the “cultural inventory” of the unknown. If encyclopaedism thus allows to nourish the epistemological analysis of "africanism" and to question the modalities of its “undisciplined” adaptations, we shall essentially consider it as a tool for the analysis of plastic and literary forms – especially as a point of entry to what Bernard Mouralis called “counter-literatures”. The attention paid to encyclopaedic temptations experienced by Paul Hazoumé, Georges Ngal and Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, but also by Théodore Monod, Alain Mabanckou or Hassan Musa, allows to re-read these works as the expression of a porosity between knowledge and creation. Combining the exercise of the scholarly quotation with a speculative impetus towards the future, the encyclopaedia sets the hypothesis of a flattening perspective allowing the free juxtaposition of heterogeneous elements. In a context of agonistic rivalry surrounding postcolonial knowledge, it offers a leveled and pacified encounter space, the painful setback of which is embodied by marginal and contested encyclopaedic figures. Staging a labile knowledge and a hypertrophied individual, encyclopaedism is indeed a phenomenon of our time and therefore offers a common ground for contemporary French and Francophone literatures

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

Full textOur study which is focused on the French literature is titled: Real Africa and Africa dreamt in contemporary Sub-Saharan novels. The example of: “Balbala" and "Aux Etats-Unis d'Afrique" written by Waberi (A.A.); "Le Baobab fou" and "La Pièce d'or" written by Ken Bugul. The importance of this research consists in observing the process of Africa's reconfiguration in the works mentioned above. It is not only about analyzing the real, dreamt, or ambivalent Africa, it is about observing textual methods for which the passage from a real Africa to a dreamt Africa is possible and, how this back and forth of a universe that is lead in a third space can be perceived as alternative Africa that the authors of these texts aspire. Furthermore, these texts become the diagnostic tools of the failings of the society and equally help to provide preemptive solutions on the operation of the continent. To conduct this study, we used a double methodology such as the textual poetic of Gerard Genette and the interpretative semiotic revisited by Louis Hebert. At the end of ours analyses we keep in mind that in these texts the authors express an alternative Africa. They present it as she is, and also the way they would like it to be. But such vision of the world isn't it a simple utopia which falls under the unattainable ?

Full textSince recent decades, we are seeing a proliferation of papers in the French Caribbean literature in which writers talk about themselves, the story of their own life. These narratives which could be list as “writings of myself” seem strongly marked with autobiographical imprint. Nevertheless, according to the works of Philippe Lejeune and Georges Gusdorf about the genre, these works molded by autobiographical tracks seem to stretch the rules. This present research deals with wondering about what could prevent the classification of these narratives as real autobiographies, in the strict sense of the word. We emit the hypothesis of a diversion of rules appropriate to the inherent genre in the “self-restraint” of the author, either in the assertion of a polymorphism of the genre (in the French-speaking Caribbean context)Is the autobiography a pure European genre?Basing on a corpus of a dozen of works, writers who arise from the French-Speaking Caribbean (Patrick Chamoiseau and Raphaël Confiant for Martinica; Maryse Condé, Henri Corbin and Daniel Maximin for Guadeloupe; J.-J. Dominique and Emile Ollivier for Haïti), we shall try to answer this problematic

Full textThis research project explores the different inscriptions of postcolonial identities in an extensive corpus of Mauritian novels written in French and English between 1990 and 2010. Over these last few decades, aesthetic, thematic and poetic innovation can be observed in a young generation of Francophone Mauritian writers, whereas such tendencies are rare among their Anglophone counterparts. While the former can be characterized by their subversive, demystifying and anti-exoticising postures, as well as their complex ways of interrogating issues of identity, the latter rather seem artistically stagnant. The Mauritian literary field clearly reveals itself as unequal as far as quantity and quality are concerned. A postcolonial ‘cross-reading-against-the-grain’ of these different texts, which focuses on leitmotivs of violence and interculturality, allows us to interrogate critically a certain number of literary tendencies currently found in Mauritius. How do the novels negotiate the island’s topographies and temporalities? Which ethno-cultural logics and ideological dynamics can be found underlying these contemporary texts? How do the novels represent complex factors such as ethnicity, class, gender? In other words, how do the Mauritian writers reflect on – or refuse to do so – the complexity of their multicultural nation? This comparative endeavour aims at understanding the dominant characteristics of a very heterogeneous literary field and seeks to analyze to what extent the new aesthetic tendencies offer original perspectives on contemporary issues of identity in Mauritian society as well as its literary production

Full textThe character Merlin, was born a long time ago from Welsh chronicles. Its literary origins go back to texts from the 12th century, first in Latin, then in French, in which he becomes Arthur’s famous adviser and acquires a great reputation among readers. Today, nine centuries later, the traditional Merlin is reborn, after Romanticism has forgotten him. The hero is still making us dream. He has become the main character of many works of the current francophone cultural production. This work analyses the contemporary persistence of the literary figure of medieval Merlin through two main themes: the origins and the powers. As a first step, a table of the medieval hero’s portrait is made according to the study of a novel’s corpus showing Merlin in the Middle Ages. Then, based on this table, whose structure builds the study plan, the hero’s contemporary persistence is analysed in detail through a corpus composed of elements from literature, cinema, theatre, comic books and Internet. The study of the origins (which includes the themes of the conception and the Woodwose or wildman’s tradition) shows mostly a modification of Merlin’s creator status, the devil, which is rationalized, paganised or deleted. This change is made to give importance to the Woodwose’s tradition, which already existed in the Middle Ages, but has become dominant in contemporary corpus. A detailed analysis of the Christian depreciation explains these narratological changes, which also affects the theme of powers (which includes the vision, the control over time and the control over space). In addition to their de-Christianization, the powers are considerably modernized thanks to the techniques of the various media. Consequently, they are demystified, which allows a finer identification with the reader-viewer. Thus, Merlin has become reachable, he does not scare any more like in the Middle Ages where his diabolical origin made him doubtful. He appears as a spokesman of a return to nature, as he had already been in the early medieval texts before his message was lost under the weight of the Christian domination. But today more than ever, the world needs examples, models to respect and love nature, whose future seems threatened. Merlin is the ideal messenger of a " naturist " conception of life and world. The contemporary writers understand this. Through his connection to the medieval world and his revisited portrait by the contemporary cultural production, Merlin attracts us, he makes us dream while reminding us of our own being through identification with this extraordinary character
Die Figur Merlin wurde vor langer Zeit aus walisischen Chroniken geboren. Seine literarischen Ursprünge stammen aus Texten des 12. Jahrhunderts die zuerst auf Lateinisch und danach auf Französisch waren. In diesen Texten ist der grossartige Berater von Arthur und erreicht dadurch Berühmtheit unter den Lesern. Neun Jahrhunderte später ist der traditionelle Merlin Wiedergeboren, nachdem er in der Romantik in Vergessenheit geriet. Der Held macht immer noch träumen und ist die Hauptfigur in etlichen Werken der zeitgenossischen frankophonen kulturellen Produktion. Diese Arbeit analysiert die zeitgenössischen Überbleibsel der mittelalterlichen Figur Merlin aus zwei Gesichtspunkten: der Herkunft und der Zauberkraft. Als erstes wurde eine Tabelle erstellt in der das Porträt des mittelalterlichen Helden, aufgrund von verschiedenen Werken, wo die mittelalterliche Figur Merlin erscheint, gezeigt wird. Diese Tabelle und seine Struktur sind die Grundlage unsere Studie. Die zeitgenössischen Remanenzen der literarischen mittelalterlichen Charakteristiken des Helden sind danach in der frankophonen kulturellen Produktion (Literatur, Film, Theater, Comics oder Internet) analysiert. Die Studie der Ursprünge (welche die Themen der Konzeption und der Tradition des wilden Mannes umfasst) zeigt hauptsächlich eine Änderung des Status des mittelalterlichen Vaters von Merlin (der Teufel), welcher rationalisiert, paganisiert und teilweise sogar gestrichen wird. Diese Änderung erfolgt zugunsten einer hervorgehobenen Darstellung der Tradition des wilden Mannes. Diese Tradition, die während des Mittelalters bereits erschien, steht im Vordergrund der zeitgenössischen Korpus. Eine detaillierte Analyse der Abwertung des Christentums erklärt die narratologischen Umbrüche, die auch den Bereich der Zauberkräfte betreffen (umfasst die Klarsicht, die Kontrolle über Zeit und Raum). Ausserdem wurden die Zauberkräfte dank den neuen Medien beträchtlich modernisiert und demystifiziert, was eine effiziente Identifizierung mit dem Leser-Zuschauer erlaubt Durch diese Entwicklung wird Merlin erreichbarer, macht keine Angst mehr im Gegensatz zum Mittelalter, wo ihn seine teuflischen Züge zweifelhaft machten. Er erscheint als Sprecher für eine Rückkehr zur Natur, wie das bereits in den ersten mittelalterlichen Texten der Fall war, bevor seine Botschaft unter der christlichen Herrschaft verloren ging. Heute, mehr denn je, braucht die Welt Beispiele, Modelle hinsichtlich Respekt und Liebe zur Natur deren Zukunft bedroht zu sein scheint. Merlin ist daher der ideale Kurier einer "naturistischen" Konzeption des Lebens und der Welt, was die zeitgenössischen Autoren deutlich verstanden haben. Durch seine Verbindung zur mittelalterlichen Welt sowie seiner Wiederauferstehung durch die zeitgenössischen kulturellen Produktionen, zieht er uns an und lässt uns träumen indem er uns an uns selber erinnert durch die Identifizierung mit dieser aussergewöhnlichen Persönlichkeit

Full textThis dissertation reflects on nature writing in French-speaking contemporary literature. Drawing on a corpus of literary texts from Europe (Chevillard, Michon, Mingarelli, Ollier, Réda, Rouaud, Simon, Tesson, Trassard) and the Caribbean (Chamoiseau, Glissant, Maximin), the author examines how awareness of ecological peril determines literary geographies and the representation of space more generally. North-American ecocriticism offers a part of the theoretical framework, but recent findings in European ecopoetics prove to be more suitable to analyse literature in French. The study shows that ecological awareness entails a new worldview that invalidates pre-existing representations of space. Thus, exploring the wilderness does not longer lead the observer to celebrate the sublime landscapes that nature offers him. On the contrary, the encounter with the wilderness tends to be unsuccessful, and if it entails any sublime experience, it is equally a temporary and a fragile one. Likewise, the prehistoric narrative does not longer rely on the literary strategies of the traditional prehistoric novel: rather than to reconstruct a prehistoric time and to show the triumphant arrival of humankind as does the latter, the contemporary narrative conducts in the present an uncertain and troubled investigation regarding the significance of prehistoric human traces. Literary texts thus show the discrepancy between the relativity of human history and the permanence of geological time. They underline the need to reconfigure traditional representations of space and question the central position that humankind attributes to himself. Literature then promotes space as a plastic and mobile entity. The garden more precisely appears to be a motive that reconciles human efforts of planning and managing with the disorderly energy of nature. Contemporary literary aesthetics appear then to be determined by an ecopoetic mobility that signals a new empathy with the world
In deze studie wordt het natuurschrijven (nature writing) in de hedendaagse Franssprekende literatuur ondervraagdUitgaand van een corpus van Europese (Chevillard, Michon, Mingarelli, Ollier, Réda, Rouaud, Simon, Tesson, Trassard) en Caribische teksten (Chamoiseau, Glissant, Maximin), bestudeert de auteur hoe de bewustwording van de ecologische crisis de literaire afbeelding van plaats beïnvloedt. Het theoretisch kader wordt deels door de Noord-Amerikaanse ecokritiek verschaft, maar de recente ondervindingen van de Europese ecopoetiek blijken nog beter aangepast aan de Franstalige literatuur. Het onderzoek toont aan dat de ecologische crisis een nieuw wereldbeeld meebrengt dat de traditionele weergave van plaats in vraag stelt. De verkenning van de wildernis leidt bijvoorbeeld niet tot een sublimering van het natuurlandschap, maar de ontdekkingen van de reiziger blijven beperkt tot een gedempt subliem, een tijdelijke gebeurtenis die op elk ogenblik onderbroken kan worden. Het prehistorisch verhaal vernieuwt evenzeer de literaire structuren van de traditionele prehistorische roman. Daar waar deze laatste de prehistorische tijd getrouw weergeeft en de triomf van de mensheid in beeld brengt, vertelt het prehistorische verhaal veeleer een twijfelende en angstig zoektocht omtrent de prehistorische sporen van de mensheid in het landschap. De relatieve historische tijd van de mens contrasteert zo met de ononderbroken eeuwigheid van de geologische tijd. Wat de literatuur dan naar voor brengt, is de nood om de bestaande verwoordingen van ruimtegevoel te herzien en om de mens te doen afzien van de centrale plaats die hij zich gewoonlijk toekent. Plaats is dan, zoals de teksten aantonen, een plastisch en mobiel gegeven. Zo blijkt de tuin een plek te zijn die de menselijke zin voor ordening en vormgeving verzoent met de ontembare energie van de natuur. De esthetische weergave van plaats in de hedendaagse literatuur beantwoordt zo aan een ecopoëtische beweeglijkheid als teken van een vernieuwde overeenstemming met de wereld

Full textMany political scientists perceived the recent history of africa as the exact replica of the political process in south america. Post-independent africa indeed experiences identical sociopolitical difficulties with latin american countries : social inequelities, tremendow debt, political subordination, army-controlled political power, etc. . . And those are signs of the failure of politics in both continent which generated a profuse production of literary works, espacially in the field of novel-writing where the dominant feature invariously comes out to be the military dictators. Every literature is the product and the image of the environnement in which it take rooks. This identity of inspiration is therefore not amazing, and such a community of fate has mather favoured the rise of what is called by some people a "thrid word literature". Somehow, novelists in both contients declaim against established military power and demigrate dictators, for they see their works as a contribution to the life of their respective societies. Moreaver, they continually adopt similar literary attitudes.

Full textL’arrivée de Krejča, dans les années 1960, sur la scène du Théâtre National de Belgique s’inscrit dans la dynamique des échanges théâtraux européens et dans une volonté diplomatique de rapprochement entre la Tchécoslovaquie et la Belgique. La thèse insiste sur ces rencontres entre les artistes belges francophones et les artistes internationaux car elles jouent un rôle fondamental, auquel prend part Krejča, dans l’histoire du théâtre belge de langue française. Fort de sa réappropriation de la tradition théâtrale tchèque et des concepts de Stanislavskij, Krejča est l’un des premiers à apporter en Belgique francophone un regard dépassant la dimension représentationnelle de la première lecture du texte et à proposer une alternative au manque laissé par le retard de l’avant-garde théâtrale belge francophone. Sa poétique, principalement influencée par le théâtre atelier d’E.F. Burian, le théâtre poétique de Frejka, le civilisme d’Hilar, les théories préfigurant la sémiologie théâtrale initiée par l’école de Prague et par les développements du « Mchat », rencontre un accueil mitigé parmi les journalistes polygraphes mais ne manque pas d’impressionner certains animateurs de la scène théâtrale belge à l’instar de Janine Patrick ou de Marc Liebens. Aussi trouve-t-elle notamment un prolongement dans le Théâtre du Parvis.
La thèse situe l’apport le plus évident de la poétique krejčaïenne en Belgique francophone dans le traitement dramaturgique, polyphonique et préfigurant le théâtre postdramatique, que le metteur en scène propose. A Louvain-la-Neuve, c’est à nouveau la puissance de la tradition tchèque et la conviction philosophique de Krejča qui impressionnent ses collaborateurs et se déclinent à travers les excroissances théâtrales francophones belges dont la plus manifeste est une expérience théâtrale, toujours en cours aujourd’hui :le théâtre de l’Éveil.
La dissertation délimite d’abord les spécificités de la poétique théâtrale de Krejča, puis, après une analyse des mises en scène de Krejča, elle retrace et détaille les diverses formes sous lesquelles son esthétique se manifeste :transmission d’un héritage théâtral (avant-garde historique tchèque, sémiologie théâtrale développée par l’Ecole de Prague) et littéraire (mise à l’honneur de Schnitzler et de Nestroy), prolongement de la recherche théâtrale jusqu’à l’approche postdramatique (révélation de la dramaticité des pièces de Tchékhov, importation du théâtre musical), regards dramaturgique et philosophique, écriture dramatique (influence sur l’écriture d'auteurs dramatiques, Krejča-personnage dans des pièces d’acteur)…
/ The thesis focuses on Czech theatre from first avant-garde to second avant-garde; mainly it is focusing on Otomar Krejča’s theatre and its relationship with Belgian theatre within the second Czech avant-garde theatre to the end of the Normalization.
Krejča worked an intensive part of his artistic life in Belgium. His Belgian theatrical activity can be divided into two distinct periods. The first one was coinciding with the foundation of his “Theatre Beyond the Gate” (Divadlo za branou) in Prague in 1965 and took place in the Belgian National Theatre in Brussels. Those years were squaring with Czechoslovakian destalinization and were particularly productive in the artistic field. In Brussels Krejča directed four plays: in 1965, Hamlet, in 1966, The Seagull, in 1970, Three Sisters, in 1978, Romeo and Juliet. The first three plays occurred before the Normalization and his departure in specific exile. The last one marked the beginning of his second period in Belgium, closely bound to Louvain-la-Neuve city. The two following Krejča’s productions were first created for the Festival d’Avignon: in 1978, Waiting for Godot and Lorenzaccio in 1979, before being performed at Atelier théâtral Jean Vilar in Louvain-La-Neuve. The three following plays were the last of Krejča’s Belgian works: Three Sisters in 1980, A. Schnitzler’s The Green Cockatoo in 1981 and Dostoevsky’s The Possessed adapted by Krejča himself in 1982.
In Belgium, the reception of his plays was mitigated. Duality between critics can be explained by Krejča’s new regard on plays, by Krejča’s use of dramaturgy. Krejča’s productions in Belgium were innovating because through dramaturgy they paved the way for something new :it was the end of a romantic Hamlet in the Shakespearian tradition and the end of Pitoëff’s aesthetic in Chechov’s productions.
Krejča’s work of art, impregnated by Czech tradition theatre of avant-garde, influenced his Belgian collaborators. Krejča was influenced by leaders in Czech first avant-garde theatre such as Burian, Frejka, theatrical theory of Honzl and Hilar’s theatre conception. When Krejča started to work in Belgium, the country was undergoing a theatrical revolution. At the end of the 1960s, French-speaking Belgium lived at the rhythm of its first avant-garde in staging. According to me, this fact is the main explanation to Krejča’s significance in French-speaking Belgium. Thanks to Krejča’s Belgian productions, a part of the first Czech theatrical avant-garde and the second Czech theatrical avant-garde penetrated in Belgium.
All of Krejča’s concepts (human beings, ethic of responsibility, importance of dramaturgy, personal appropriation of Stanislavski’s approach) slowly instilled French-speaking Belgian theatrical life. Sure an evident mark of continuity of his aesthetic cannot be seen in the long time, nevertheless Krejča’s influence was considerable and briefly materialized in many fields. It is obviously still vivid in the way some actors play, feel and teach theatre.

Full textThe Memory has an important place, in our societies in general as well in literature, particularly where it became an unavoidable reference, an ethical and poetic requirement to have a better understanding of our past. For decades yet the questions related to our memory increasingly come back on the political and literary scene. This thesis intends to reflect on the writing of Memory considered in a postcolonial perspective through the historical contemporary novel. The title and thedebate raised put in relation the Algerian, Congolese and Haitian literature in the aim to analyse the representation of the past with the following novels The Woman without sepulcher from Assia Djebar, The Lily and Flamboyant from Henri Lopes, The Infamous Rosalie from Évelyne Trouillot and Dancing shadows or zombi, it’s me from Hans Christoph Buch. The omnipresence of the theme of memory in these four novels and the entanglement of the facts of the History and the particular draws of the characters presented invite to a comparative approach. This approach is adopted here so it canfeed a reflexive look on the cultural practices of the Algerian, Congolese and Haitian societies. This study has the goal to first display the theoretical foundations of Memory notions and concepts, from postcolonialism proceeding to their exegesis. Then, it examines the representation of the past in the African and Caribbean culturals spaces through their selected artwork. Finally, it builds a poetic of the postcolonial memory in the historical contemporary novel. Painted like a rewriting of the History, appear here the outlines of a whole series of auctorial practices entering in a permanent new twist of the Historiography texts

Full textThis thesis is a thought about the vitality of desert thematic in literature field. In this case, this thematic is inseparable from that of primitive monasticism as the corpus in question; I mean Les Marches de sable, Marie d’Egypte and Macaire Le Copte is presented as hagiographic. Therefore, the link between desert and monasticism in these three novels has led us to identify contemporary writers’ need of keeping bringing up such thematic. The desert has appeared as the place of spiritual experience in all its ambivalence, I mean devil temptation space, but also ascetic elevation space. To the writers, it is also a way to bring a lucid eye to the current society which is being reified because one cannot say only that it is already reified. In conclusion, to these three writers, not only the desert is a way to evidence their conception of literary space which really appears as a paradoxical space as it can at the same time be a sharing and a seclusion space, but also a writer’s workplace. It appears that the writer is image of hermit, that is, he is a sort of absolute seeker

Full textFrom amongst expected developments and innovative transgressions, one aspect contrasts several creative ways of writing from distant cultural origins. This dimension will be the subject of a research about literary eroticism in the texts of three contemporary authors, playwrights, and writers. Each one of them has been touched by a different culture : French for Alain Robbe-Grillet, North African for Kateb Yacine, and Sub-Saharan for Sony Labou Tansi. This study will be comparative. The introduction offers an attempt at defining eroticism and the detailed presentation of the three authors. The orders in which this will be made will allow to perceive, first the diverse forms of cruelty, the place of horror, and the panoply, stereotypical of otherwise, of eroticism. The second part will investigate the relationship between the fantastic and the erotic through an utopian universe and a magical world full of signs and symbols which include colours, smells, noises, and numbers. The third part will crystallize the existing relationship between particular stylistic devices and eroticism : the metaphor and the mise en abyme. In the conclusion, after having briefly summarized the ensemble of erotic works in France, North African and Sub-Saharan, the similarities felt between the different textual elements of the different authors and their specific aspects will become clear. Then, other research possibilities, that could have been pursued and been as exciting, will be mentioned

Full textThis thesis deals with the characteristics of the theatre of the world metaphor, as they appear in several contemporary french-speaking plays. Seven plays have been selected as images of the world, since they summon various emblematic elements of life on earth: humans, animals and flora, and emphasize their interaction in a universal surroundings. Firstly, the principal academic contributions concerning the historical notion of theatre of the world are gathered and commented. The main part of the research consists of the demonstration of the metaphor's contemporary extensions, through the study of the corpus. The analysis of each play is preceded by a presentation of its author's writing motivations and motives. Then, the play itself is examined carefully with the help of a reading grid which focuses successively on the dramatic categories : characters, space and time, actions, stage directions. Thus, the thesis's body is built as an exploration of seven variations of the theatre of the world, beginning with the most abstract one and leading to the most organic one. A synthesis ends this journey, pointing out that the plays match three composition patterns, which induces many combinations of the dramatic categories. This classification unveils the ambition at the origin of each writing project. In conclusion, it appears that the theatre of the world, generally considered as an old topos which refers to the theatrality of human life, is a framework strong enough to stand up to the poetics of comtemporary drama, and vast enough to house the most singular dramaturgic inventions

Full textThe thesis is an analysis of some topics of social criticism by the writers of the novels we've been working on. Starting with the "new romantic character", that is, the dictator, we described social realities, emphasizing on the nature and pertinence of new societies, just as they appear in the novels. Then we went on to analyze the style as a way of producing : how does each of the writers gives a personal presentation of social realities. We also got interested in the satirical style, not just because of the mood but and over all as a topic (viloence, barbarism, fancy). To bring in thisnew set of topics there was a search of new models and this is particularly thrue for labou tansi. He was clearly influenced by marquez but on the long run, he went further his own way

Full textFrench theatre for young people has an increasing repertoire which explore children’s relationship with the world in an ethic and aesthetic context. This repertoire is a grouping of text which use a lot of different themes and which renew theatre in general. It also questions the message transmission from the author to the young addressee. Then, we think that addressing children may determine the writer artistic work. The double bind is very large with dramatic literature for young people. Indeed, it seems so important for authors not to hurt in a manner the addressee who is child-sensitive while plays they write deal with hard reality. And this in order to raise children awareness towards society and to suggest them to act in the world. The author engages his responsibility and his texts offer rich readings of the world. On one hand he faces the youth audience with broad society issues while on the other hand he wants to assert the sanctity of childhood. Several detour are used to enable them to read the world in its tragic aspects. Playwrights use childhood as a moral, social and political subject to condemn the problems of the modern world with children characters. When the child is present as a character it is often to criticize the society and to question human nature. However, plays are optimistic. It is precisely the specificity of childhood that uses the first detour to expose an unfortunate reality. Childhood is also use as a possibility to offer a worldview. Even if the authors present some dreadful situations, their creations are nice and understandable. It talks about important things of our present and one of its main purpose is to bring enjoyment. In introducing « aesthetics of resiliency » with children characters who are clinging to life and survive in spite of hard situations, young people theatre show its capacity to transform violence and enchant people’s lives : characters’ lives and even maybe readers’ lives. It is a crossover theatre because readers are simultaneously old or young and everyone seems to find some answer inside this literature. Indeed, childhood is a writing process therefore these texts might concern everyone. Childhood would be a personal and an universal value. Young people theater is therefore intergenerational. In short, the aim of this thesis was to examine the theatrical writing for young people and to examine the relation of the artists with the reality. This writing reveal the reality of the world and give a voice to what cannot be expressed itself – infans – revealing those oppression or injustice situations. A poetic of childhood spread though this theatre

Full textIn this doctoral dissertation, which deals with childhood narratives in contemporary novels of Mauritius and Reunion Islands, we will examine the following dimensions: the narrative modalities, the construction, evolution and functions of the child protagonist within the texts, his relationship with different members of his family and the people around him, and the connection between these works and their social and discursive context. Our corpus includes fourteen works of fiction from ten different Mascareignes writers, published from 1987 to 2012 : from Mauritius, Nathacha Appanah, Ananda Devi, Marie-Thérèse Humbert, Shenaz Patel, Amal Sewtohul et Carl de Souza; and from Reunion, Danielle Dambreville, François Dijoux, Axel Gauvin et Jean-François Samlong. In these novels, if the narrative, discursive and symbolic diversity corresponds to the plural imaginative world of these heterogeneous societies, we can still find some significant trends, including narratives based on the adult’s memory or the child’s immediate experience; suffering, ill-treated, subaltern and rebellious child protagonists; families and societies whose general functioning, discourses and ideologies seem inappropriate, even harmful. If some of these aesthetic choices partake of certain conventions, others embody a new and even transgressive approach. For example, borrowings from other generic forms like tales, theatre, etc., particular styles of writing and the frequent mixing of different voices and languages distinguish those texts from established norms. The extreme abuse of little girls and the appearance of violent children also seem original. The child’s experience and perspective provides a global, profound and inherently critical view of present-day and past societies of Mauritius and Reunion Islands, therefore providing a counter-discourse to the exotic and bucolic images of a paradise island. From being a witness to an actor, the child allows the author to explore a series of motives and issues distinct to the imaginative world and literatures of the Indian Ocean, like otherness, identity, history, memory, etc.
