Full textI have tried in the present work to approach Kazantzakis by studding textually each one of his six novels written between 1943 and 1955. By introducing myself within the different texts, I found a world of antinomies which haunt Kazantzakis and are as well the poles on which pivot its works. The mystery or the mechanism of this universe in movement resides in an ideological system preconceived by the author that we find in askitiki, and that I tried to reconstruct in due order in the four stages set forth by this essay

O tema da viagem de Odisseu foi largamente retomado pela tradição literária após a Odisséia de Homero, seja para confirmar o ideal do herói nostálgico, que anseia o retorno à pátria, seja para reafirmar o ímpeto do eterno navegador de mares. Nikos Kazantzakis (1883-1957) igualmente retoma o Odisseu lendário, insatisfeito com o retorno ao lar, como seu protótipo de herói e constrói, na modernidade, o poema épico Odisséia (1938), a partir do canto XXII no verso 477 do poema de Homero, sendo Odisseu levado a um novo itinerário ao deixar Ítaca definitivamente. Embora se baseie na obra clássica, recuperando personagens e a estrutura épica, Kazantzakis participa de seu tempo, compondo um novo Odisseu representante do mundo moderno, próximo das filosofias de Nietzsche e de Bergson. Como figura “entre mundos”, o Odisseu de Kazantzakis recupera as antigas delineações de Homero e incorpora as questões da modernidade: o niilismo, a desesperança, a multiplicidade. No entanto, além de prolongar os feitos de Odisseu e a narrativa de Homero, Kazantzakis compõe um poema épico de dimensões admiráveis – 33.333 versos de 17 sílabas poéticas, em 24 cantos – contrariando (e reafirmando) as intenções inovadoras de seus contemporâneos da primeira metade do século XX. A epopéia configura na modernidade um gênero considerado esgotado, que teria dado lugar ao romance como gênero mais apropriado às produções modernas. Esta investigação, no entanto, procura evidenciar que o épico de Kazantzakis, ainda que represente um anacronismo em tempos modernos e, para muitos, uma afronta às normas estéticas, é, assim como muitas das obras de sua época, a confirmação das intenções inovadoras em tempos de crise, por meio da incorporação de uma trajetória filosófica de Odisseu baseada no niilismo heróico de cunho nietzschiano e na evolução criadora de Bergson...
The theme of Odysseus‟ journey was broadly retaken by the literary tradition after Homer‟s Odyssey, whether to confirm the nostalgic ideal of the hero yearning to return to his homeland, or to reaffirm the impetus of the eternal navigator. Nikos Kazantzakis (1883-1957) also incorporates as his prototypical hero the legendary Odysseus, unhappy about returning home, and writes, in the modernity, the epic poem Odyssey (1938), based on the canto XXII and on the verse 477 of Homer‟s poem, and taking Odysseus to a new route when he leaves Ithaca for good. Although based on the classic work, restoring its characters and its epic structure, Kazantzakis takes part of his own time, creating a new Odysseus, now representative of the modern world, and close to the philosophies of Nietzsche and Bergson. As a figure “between worlds”, Kazantzakis‟s Odysseus recovers the old delineations of Homer and incorporates the issues of modernity: nihilism, hopelessness, and multiplicity. However, besides prolonging Odysseus‟ prowess and Homer‟s narrative, Kazantzakis wrote an epic poem of remarkable dimensions –– 33,333 verses of 17 poetic syllables, along 24 Cantos –– contradicting (and reassuring) the innovative intentions of his contemporaries in the first half of the 20th century. In the modernity, epic poetry configures a genre considered to be already exhausted, and which would have given rise to the novel as a genre much more suitable to the modern productions.

En base a esta breve exposición del argumento,propondremos en esta investigación que Buda, al contener diversas problemáticas que su autor compendia en la novela autobiográfica Carta al Greco, puede leerse como una obra que tensiona los elementos propuestos por la concepción artística que de ella se desprende. El escritor cretense fija su concepción artística en un absoluto que busca la síntesis de las distintas contradicciones que emanan de la vida. Por ello, la figura de Buda aparece como un camino de liberación y trascendencia de los fenómenos empíricos que sustentan la realidad. Esto adquiere un sentido mayor teniendo en cuenta los ejercicios espirituales que Kazantzakis profesa en Ascesis, donde presenta una serie etapas que llevan a la liberación búdica por medio de la renuncia.

La interrogante que organiza este estudio es la pregunta por la vigencia y el sentido de la tragedia en una supuesta época postrágica a partir de la obra del escritor cretense Nikos Kazantzakis (1883-1956). Si la interrogación requiere antes que nada una indagación básica en el género como categoría transhistórica, con sus diversas actualizaciones empíricas, y como forma de significación que exhibe una experiencia trágica, surgen tres líneas de desarrollo que organizan y traman la reflexión a lo largo de este estudio: la relación entre tragedia y crisis histórica, el vínculo entre tragedia y experiencia existencial, y la delimitación del género como forma estética. Cada una de estas tres líneas es examinada y tramada para conformar un horizonte de inteligibilidad que permita discernir la especificidad de la tragedia y lo trágico, articulando ciertos momentos y genealogías históricas decisivas que llevan o se verifican luego de manera ejemplar en la escritura trágica de Kazantzakis. El vínculo entre tragedia y crisis histórica queda establecido como premisa inicial, postulándose a la tragedia como una forma de significación sincrética de la realidad exigida por coyunturas históricas que cabe llamar de crisis de mundo –verificadas puntualmente en los cronotopos o momentos trágicos del siglo VI a.C, el período renacentista inglés y la coyuntura existencial de 1850-1950–. Si estas crisis se caracterizan fundamentalmente por generar una experiencia de la fractura de lo humano y lo divino, la fractura es recreada en la tragedia, agudizándola y poniendo en escena la condición humana como problemática y dolorosa. Es así como esta primera premisa o línea de desarrollo se trama con un segundo postulado, a saber, el de la relación entre tragedia y experiencia existencial, la cual es delimitada postulando al género como forma de significación ejemplar que interroga y escenifica el proceso de constitución del ser. Es lo que se verifica tanto en la actualización empírica del género –la tragedia ática, la tragedia renacentista inglesa y la tragedia kazantzakiana– como en el discurso teórico sobre la tragedia y lo trágico –particularmente dentro del vasto proceso teórico en la reflexión que lleva desde Aristóteles hasta Kierkegaard, Nietzsche y Jaspers–. La tercera línea de trabajo, la demarcación del género, se establece delimitando las propiedades formales, temáticas y pragmáticas que distinguen al archigénero histórico, lo que permite proponer dos variantes para la tragedia de Kazantzakis: la especie patética y la especie trascendente. Estas tres líneas de interrogación cruzan pues todo el estudio, el cual se estructura en dos grandes partes: la primera, que abarca los tres primeros capítulos, traza el horizonte de la tragedia y lo trágico, iluminando su proceso histórico y teórico; la segunda parte, que comprende los capítulos cuarto y quinto, analiza la escritura trágica de Kazantzakis. Ésta es definida como praxis vital que arranca de una experiencia crítica y desgarradora –la crisis individual que surge como correlato de la crisis histórico-existencial que caracteriza al período 1850-1950–, lo que la lleva a manifestarse como una escritura sanguínea, teúrgica y resistente que busca la salvación de Dios, persiguiendo un absoluto espiritual y estético. La dimensión trágica de la escritura, como proyección de la “tragedia del escritor”, se analiza finalmente en tres piezas representativas de tres especies de tragedia: Juliano para la especie patética, Kouros para la especie trascendente y Buda como expresión de un metateatro que “resuelve” la tragedia representada en él.

Full textJesus is at the heart of a religious belief. Made fictional character, he loses his holy character and becomes a hero of all the possible fictional adventures. By an approach comparatiste of the texts of Graves, of Kazantzakis, of Dostoïevski and of Delteil of our corpus, we have come out these results: Graves more mythological than exegete suggests a rereading of the gospels, Kazantzakis creates a communist Christ, a legendary hero who tries to save the greek people continually threatened and who dies in the same way as Jesus. Dostoïevski does'nt trust the roman catholicism of the west. He creates a russian Christ, only capable, according to him, to save humanity. With his gallic Jesus II, Delteil takes it out on the pope to whom he reproaches to be unaware of his true mission. Jesus II enlist the pope in a General Mobilization. Conscious of his faiture, he takes refuge in his maquis where the fate of the crucified catches him

O escritor grego Nikos Kazantzákis (1883-1957) carrega as marcas de poeta e de pensador, e cuja obra é mais que expressão literária: revela sua busca por redenção. Inserido nesta perspectiva está o livro Ascese-Os Salvadores de Deus obra fundamental para compreender o pensamento do autor e que descreve o esforço que o ser humano deve empreender para adquirir uma nova concepção de vida. A presente pesquisa pretende investigar os elementos constitutivos desse livro e analisar sua profunda espiritualidade. Ao longo da obra termos como Deus, liberdade e luta se interpenetram e se confundem, formam um complexo conceitual e são constantemente reinterpretados. Complexidade é a sua marca: composta numa forma poética, nela interage os discursos literário, filosófico e religioso, constituindo, assim, uma tentativa de conciliação entre diversos pontos de vista. Dentre as muitas influências é possível vislumbrar indícios das filosofias de Nietzsche e de Bergson. Sua trajetória é uma ascese da afirmação da vida e do empenho por reelaborar incessantemente um novo rosto para Deus. Na perspectiva de Kazantzákis, Deus é sentido a partir de uma espiritualidade da luta e da liberdade. Uma luta permanente contra a imobilidade e em direção à espiritualização da vida: o desafio de transubstanciar a matéria em espírito . É o sentido da criação/liberdade no qual o ser humano deve lutar para salvar Deus.

Full textIn Creative Evolution, Bergson has put forward the idea of a super-man, who would continue the effort that life has fixed in the evolution of species, and would rise toward a constantly actualized divine freedom. The work of Kazantzaki appears in our study as a creation where the super-man, whose story must remain singular, is materialized. The bergsonian notion of duration used as a method to approach the text, reveals within the text a particular way of thinking the creation in the work and in oneself. It is presented as the continuous fixation of a maturation, slowed by material forms, that can not contain it anymore : in particular the language and the intellectual, and not sufficiently intuitive, vision of the world. Inspired by the bergsonian philosophy, Kazantzaki tries to imprint the spirit’s ascending mobility to his characters, by liberating them from all those closures that divide up the moving reality and reduce the power of the soul. We oppose to the idea of a character emerging like a creation ex nihilo, the bergsonian idea of novelty which would result from an effort testing the writer and the character’s freedom, and which would concentrate in the case of the super-man the human and pre-human history. Following those two lines of evolution which are particular to Bergson and Kazantzaki, each one in his area and confronted to different impediments, we see them converging by the similar movement of their thought and interrogate finally one type of man’s effort : the mystic

Full textThis study starts with a reference to some priests in french and greek novels before those of bernanos and kazantzakis. The second part of this study is an effort to place the two novels in their time and the third one is a thought about the possible influences. In the forth part we have the opportunity to know the two priests by a reading of the two novels based on different subjects as the dream, the prayer and the death. In the fifth part we see the two priest's torment before a god who remains silent. In the sixth part we see how bernanos gets to a model of "saint" by presenting the cure d'ambricourt; we also see how kazantzaki's priest is a "combatant". This study ends with a reading of the novels as contemporary tragedies and "fictional transfigurations of jesus". The two priests-heros are "christs" accepting to be the "scapegoat" of their society which is dominated by violence. The execution of these two priests is a return of the "sacred" and the "tragic". We can find two appendices in this study. The first is a reference to some sacerdotal novels posterior to those of bernanos and kazantzakis. In the second one we find the greek textes figurating in french in this study. We also find an important bibliography and a name's index

Full textThis thesis proposes a bibliographic and literary journey in the life and work of Nikos Kazantzaki (1883-1957), his relation to the French language and culture, their influence on his vision of the world and his creation. It is a research on the elements of French culture in the work of Nikos Kazantzaki and more specifically in the two novels written directly in French, Toda-Raba and The Rock Garden. Kazantzaki, a contemporary Ulysses, travels in the world with amazement, discovering the richness of the human reality, acting instead of being acted by it! An insatiable worker of the spirit, he does not stop proclaiming the beautiful universal virtues: Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood, and Human Dignity! His essential concern: to transform the flesh into spirit; to transmit the seed of his writings, that rich inheritance of love, to the posterity, leaving nothing to Charon, except a few bones! He weaves his cocoon of poetry, similar to a silk worm, and leaves the seed of its immortal creation as a link between past and future. The joy of learning, the passion for languages, beauty, art, grace and tenderness, join in that multicultural jewel , Kazantzaki’s work, to dance on the rhythm and breath of life! Bergson is the central figure of the French culture in Kazantzaki’s creation. His theories on real duration, on matter and spirit, on creative evolution and the élan vital, on language and art as a means of communication between nature and god, a god who changes and is reinvented in the human fables, a god who waits for men in order to save them, to create life together with them, will be the river of French culture crossing Kazantzaki’s work and leading him to freedom, to God!

Full textThis thesis examines how short narratives inserted in the form of tales, parables, anecdotes and dreams function in kazantzakis' novels. Their basic form together with their origin are firts considered : and then their formal relation to the enveloping texts. This discussion concerns in particular their insertion in a discourse which carries a philosophical stance ; the elaboration of their form by virtue of their function in illustrating this stance ; the question of the narrators and the receivers of the tales, etc. ; and the resultinf discontinuity in the enveloping text. This is followed by ac study of semantic relations between the tales etc. And the enveloping texts : a litteral sense on one hand and a referential sense on the other. Our notion of referentiality is justified by an appeal to objects existing outside the texts themselves. In conclusion it is demonstrated that kazantzakis use of tales. Has its place in the more general frame of a lyricism conveyed in prose

Full textWhereas Nikos Kazantzaki, a greek author, was born in Crete in 1883, albert camus, a french author, came into the world in Algeria in 1913. Although they grew on opposite shores, both belong to the mediterranean world. Is this common heritage sufficient to establish a hiriship between them ? From childhood to manhood, from instinctive life to the shaping of a certain type of relationship to the world, also taking into account their ethical and philosophical choices, it is the mediterranean itinerary of Albert Camus and Nikos Kazantzaki that we have attempted to follow, in order to determine how they related to their terra mater, their homeland. Were they faithful to the last to that mare nostrum on the shores of which they were born ? Inheritors or prodigal sons, where did their ulyssean voyage eventually lead them, across an affective, moral and intellectual mediterranean sea ? And, since it is at the origin of their personal history, did the mediterranean remain at the heart of their reflection as men and writers, a living source that never dried up ?

Full textMarguerite Yourcenar’s The Labyrinth of the world and Nikos Kazantzaki’s Report to Greco constitute the personal and familial narratives of the authors, written around the end of their lives and belonging generally to personal literature. Between a desire for the truth on one hand, and the erosion of time and the transformations of the conscience on the other, objective reminiscence and imaginary intervention coexist. Memory and imagination are therefore constitutive components of the Works, making difficult a determination of their exact genre. In this thesis, we explore each as well as their connections with each other. For the analysis of memory, of time, of consciousness and of fantasia, we will call upon philosophy and above all a phenomenological approach ; for the study of images of experience elaborated by the unconscious, we will direct ourselves to psychoanalysis and more precisely to the Freudian, Jungian and Lacanian contribu! tions. Thus, by evaluating the importance of each on of these components for the symbolic construction, we will try to determine the dominant with a view to finally describe the generic status of the Works

Full textAfter focusing on the historical context in which was conceived then evoking and classifying the most significant works, we have dealt with the question of the type of symbolism discernable in the underlying imagery in this work (the native land), the representations of monsters and aquatic figures, an initiatory journey to the borders of the kingdom of the dead). We have also observed how the imagery of a journey on the seas slips imperceptibly into a journey in time. At this point we have tried to suggest various interpretations of how time is represented. Thereafter, it seemed interesting to us to compare this source with contemporary texts in order to understand how a founding text can, in another context, still nourish our imagination today, choices had to be made : the Odyssey by Nikos Kazantzaki. We have continued our analysis by exploring a genre which has always lent itself to the adaptation of the great myths, namely the theatre, and thus we have revisited two recent adaptations. Moreover, the Odyssey has been at the basis of teaching for almost three thousand years, in Greece, of course, since it was written, but also in France. So, we have tried to compare the different approaches present in the syllabuses and textbooks to be found in a period covering the last thirty years or so, before making some suggestions about how Homer's text could still be perceived as attractive to us today without confining it to an obsolete image of "ancient culture". On the contrary, we have attempted to prove how it could still have meaning in our schools in the 21th century

Full textThe thesis combines textual analysis and contrastive linguistics, clustering around intersected problems and theories of translation (from Greek into French and English). It has a double objective: a) to update the concept of connotation, in order to prove its applicability, especially for the analysis of literary translation, b) to put the concept of connotation to the test of translation by observing how connotations constructed on textual networks are transferred from one language into another. The research is divided into two parts: theory and analysis. The first part deals, initially, with theoretical and practical problems of translation. It also traces a historical background of connotation and reshapes it within the different fields of Language Sciences (Pragmatics, Stylistics, Semantics), so as to resituate it into an integrative approach of Semantics. It shows that connotation despite its controversial status can be a functional and useful concept for a literary and textual approach. The second part is an essay of textual semantics from a translation and literary perspective, focusing on plurality of meaning, voices and interpretations. It takes as corpus Kazantzakis' novels and more precisely The Last Temptation of Christ, translated into French by M. Saunier and into English by P. A Bien
