Hobart, Brenton. "L’Imaginaire de la peste dans la littérature française de la Renaissance." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040022.
Full textThe object of this thesis is to study how French Renaissance writers perpetuate and develop a corpus of plague representations, through imitation, personal experience and invention in their writings. This corpus is based on plague narratives and descriptions from major works of Antiquity (including The Iliad, The Bible, The History of the Peloponnesian War, The Georgics) and the Middle Ages (The Decameron, The Chirurgia Magna), often translated into French and published over the course of the first half of the sixteenth century.The first part of this work focuses on these translations, which may be read as works in their own right (allegories of war and religious unrest during the Renaissance), but are also a source of inspiration for authors of new plague writings.The second part of this thesis focuses on these creations. The authors, who sometimes depict themselves as survivors of the disease, borrow images from the pre-established corpus, adapting them to their own purposes. We highlight the images that reappear from one work to another (the influence of the existing corpus upon Clément Marot, Nostradamus, Pierre Boaistuau, Ambroise Paré, Michel de Montaigne and Agrippa d’Aubigné; the influence of predecessors upon their successors), while analyzing the function of these images in each new context.This work does not deal with the historical plague (the many diseases, from numerous eras, gathered under a generic name), but rather with the representations linked to a single, marvellous affliction, considered to be the “hand of God”. The plague becomes a codified, highly recognizable, literary genre at the close of the Renaissance

Full textThis dissertation, combining literary and translation studies, analyses Jeanette Winterson’s oeuvre through a multidisciplinary approach by focusing on six short stories from the collection The World and Other Places (1998). This two-pronged perspective reveals the centrality of emotions within the corpus. How do emotions evolve through the filter of translation? Winterson uses literary strategies efficiently engaging the reader’s attention. The translation of a selection of short stories contributes to establishing the act of translation as a practice merging reading, writing and creating. Since the original text and the translator’s emotions interact, the act of translation cannot be dissociated from emotion. By analysing how emotions converge in Winterson’s work, we show how the act of translation is closely tied to Winterson’s intentions: to acknowledge one’s emotions relates Winterson’s characters with one another as well as with the translator. Emotional commitment means not only a more creative and more accurate translation, it is also an invitation to self-translation. To translate Jeanette Winterson means translating a deeply cathartic conception of art, and urges us to consider a new phenomenology of translation, in which arises the therapeutic dimension of translation

Full textThe study of the places and people described in a literary work enables us to reveal the intensity of the relationship that links people to the place they live in. Through the concept of territory and using software for an automatic analysis of discourse, this research provides a survey of Provence as evoked by Frédéric Mistral in Calendal (1867). A conceptual environment of the country – developed from the definitions of present-time geographers –, helps us to bring out the tangible and intangible components of the provençal territory that the author wished to convey, especially in the late 18th century. In this work, special attention is given to the couples : “appropriation / territorialization” and “identity / territoriality”. From this original approach to the poem and its author, both chosen for their close links to Provence, are born new perspectives for a better understanding of the local pratices of a population attached to a place, at a given period

Full textIf we accept the idea that unlike modern novel, contemporary novel does not absolutely seek to recreate the human figure, but rather thinks of it as a « trans-individual » image of the human being, then the taking into account of the Obscene in the « Negro-African » literature's context of these last 30 years makes sense. The ludicrous break with the linearity and the use of language as cathartic effect enable to express differently a future which is more and more beyond our control.We are trying to understand the upsurge of the Obscene in the new african fiction writings as a contemporary symptom and a new approach on the part of tthe authors of the fourth generation, to truly comandeer the sense of the word « individual » in the « Negro-African » context.If, according to the Petit Larousse dictionary, the Obscene is « what offends openly the modesty through sexual representations », it has deep ethical consequences in a « Negro-African » context where strong cultural taboos on sexual initmacy productions exist. We will try to explain at what cost the Obscene can set itself up as an element of literarity or as a theory able to sustain the subject practising it. However, is a community still possible beyond the disruption of the ethical values caused by a possible aesthetic of the Obscene ?
De, Vriese Hannes. "Mobilités écopoétiques et écritures de la nature : espace et paysage dans la littérature contemporaine en français." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016TOU20070.
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 textThis thesis aims at re-defining the French concept of« place of memory » as defined by Pierre Nora in the West Indian and African spaces through the relationship between literature and history. Indeed, slavery, colonisation and apartheid serve as a background to a wide range of representations of places of memory in West Indian and African literatures. This thesis is composed of three main sections. The first section provides some historical context that allows connecting Africa and Caribbean Islands. The second section scrutinizes the topographic aspect of the places of memory in various ways: toponymy, heterotopia, spaces of power and landscapes. The third section, which sheds light on the notion of figure of memory, focuses on the experiences of historical and fictional characters, which enable to define new kinds of heroism.To that extent, this study leads to think about the challenges of collective memory of people in a postcolonial background in which « memories war » spreads out
Perromat, Augustín Kevin. "Le plagiat dans les littératures hispaniques : histoire, théorie et pratique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA040090/document.
Full textThe object of this study is literary plagiarism in Spanish Literatures, from a historical, theoretical and practical approach. From a historical point of view, plagiarism perception and representation have encountered important evolutions. However, they have preserved common elements. A plagiarist is an ‘untruthful author’, but to this basic notion other materials have been attached from a number of epistemological and disciplinary perspectives. Considered first as a mere moral or legal infringement and subsequently assimilated to a certain concept of intertextuality, recent studies make use of pragmatic approaches to intend an explanation of the ambiguous and polemic nature of the subject. This thesis studies the phenomenon from a multidisciplinary approach, gaining with the contributions collected from Law, Comparative Literature, History or the different national literatures, though maintaining its focus on Spanish Literatures. The study is divided in three parts. The first one deals with the emergence, instauration and evolution of the concept until approximately the end of the XVIIth century. Secondly, different theories are reviewed in relation with the particular disciplinary approaches adopted. Finally, practical applications of plagiarism are considered: normative, strategic, ideological or artistic uses.This study offers a general view of the subject and both a theoretical and a literary corpus, until presently scattered in monographic works, in order to propose some possible research guidelines on plagiarism in the realm of the Spanish Literatures
La presente investigación tiene como objeto el plagio literario en las literaturas hispánicas desde una dimensión histórica, teórica y práctica. Desde el punto de vista histórico, la percepción del plagio y su representación discursiva han sufrido evoluciones importantes, aunque siempre han conservado elementos comunes. Un plagiario es un “falso autor”, pero esta noción de base se ha ido enriqueciendo a partir de materiales provenientes de numerosos horizontes epistemológicos y discursivos. Considerado como una mera infracción moral o jurídica y, posteriormente, asimilado a una difusa noción de intertextualidad, los estudios más recientes se sirven de la pragmática para intentar explicar la naturaleza ambigua y po-lémica de la cuestión. Esta tesis aborda el fenómeno desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar, reaprovechando las contribuciones hasta ahora dispersas en la literatura comparada, el derecho, la historia o las distintas literaturas naciona-les, pero conservando en su centro de interés las literaturas hispánicas. El estudio se divide en tres partes. Una primera que concierne la aparición, consolidación y evolución de la noción hasta fines del siglo XVII. En la segunda parte, se exponen las distintas teorías sobre el plagio, en relación con las perspectivas disciplinarias adoptadas. Por último, se ana-lizan las aplicaciones prácticas del plagio: sus usos normativos, estratégicos, ideológicos o artísticos. El plagiarismo como procedimiento creativo está presente en numerosos movimientos de diferentes épocas, asociado especialmente a la vanguardia y a la Posmodernidad.Este trabajo propone una visión y un corpus teórico y literario de conjunto sobre estos contenidos, hasta ahora dispersos en obras esencialmente monográficas, con la esperanza de que abran nuevas líneas de investigación en el ámbito de la literatura hispánica

Full textThe genetic study of a la recherche du temps perdu has come into a new period with the acquisition by the Bibliothèque nationale of the thirteen cahiers Guerin. Taking account of these new documents, it is now possible to mark two important steps in the evolution of the theme of the young girls on the beach; the first is connected with the problem of the recollection of the dream, the second, with the one of the visual experience. In years 1909-10, the Proustian hero always tries to find a correspondence between the first image of the girl and her real figure. For the novelist, in this period, the essential was to seek for the identity between dream and reality by the way of recollection. But, about 1913, Proust passes from the problem of identity to the one of multiplicity; he puts emphasis on the visual experience of the hero for the purpose of describing the diversity of the young girl who changes interminably. And, this theme, in the wide development of the theme of jealousy, contributes to make explicit the flowing of the time and the impossibility to know the other

Full textŠarīf al-Raḍī, major writer whose work has to be studied by anyone interested in Arabic poetry throughout time, can hardly be classified. While he took advantage from past literary movements, this poet, who started writing at an early age and became a literary critic as well as a linguist, a jurist and the emir of hajj, gradually developed a new poetical genre through his ḥiğāziyyāt. He thus composed love poems that revolve around the sacred places of pilgrimage. This study aims at understanding what made this genre unique in its time before trying to grasp the scope of the ḥiğāziyyāt’s influence on Arabic poetry in the following centuries
Gille, Comte-Sponville Aurélie. "Modernité et archaïsme des lieux dans les romans d'enquête et d'aventure pour la jeunesse pendant les Trente Glorieuses en France." Thesis, Artois, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016ARTO0008/document.
Full textPost-World War II France experienced a period of outstanding economic growth known as the “Thirty Glorious Years”, which ended with the 1973 oil crisis. Publishing benefitted greatly from the rise of the consumer society in this period of prosperity, and scores of children’s books and novels for young people were published immediately after the Second World War and soon became very popular. It was the heyday of a few book series such as Bibliothèque rose, Bibliothèque verte, or Signe de Piste. But while most households were gradually getting more and more modern, many novels for children and young adults involved children going off in search of adventure or leading investigations in places anchored in the past – castles, caves, forests, etc. – or in timeless, ideal places recreated within their own daily lives – heterotopias. The present research dissertation delves into a broad corpus of literary series and Boy Scout novels and explores both their literary aspects. By questioning the interaction between modernity and archaism in post-war children’s literature, it shows that both concepts are part of a narrative tension that shapes the logical development of the story and paves the way for an initiatory process reminiscent of primitive rites of passage, the narrative patterns of fairy tales and Bildungsroman. The initiation itself, however, is never completed for it is not the actual purpose of the novel. The places are significant only insofar as they belong to the quest for the utopia of eternal childhood, in which the ageless heroes as well as the places are set in perfection, in a form of ideal euchronia

Full textThe Spanish crime novel that has been written over the last three decades can be essentially defined as an urban social novel. The movements of the detectives reveal the cartography of a Spanish urban space which is in mutation, reflecting the transformations undergone by Spanish society. Based on the work of four authors, Juan Madrid, Andreu Martín, Alicia Giménez Bartlett and Antonio Lozano, this thesis proposes various possible ways of interpreting that urban space, thus enabling a better understanding of the evolution of Spanish society. First of all, we encounter a space of proximity comprising a combination of places - as defined by Marc Augé ; then a space across which visible and invisible frontiers run, hindering mobility for a part of the population ; finally a space in which mobility is widespread, so emphasizing the inequality between those who have access to it and those who are condemned to staying put. This thesis thus proposes a literary and sociological approach to the contemporary Spanish crime novel

Full textThis dissertation explores the history of the Los Angeles shoreline and, more specifically, the city's famous beaches, from the 1920s through the early 1970s. I examine Los Angeles beaches not only as tourist attractions, but as urban spaces. Indeed, as vast public accommodations which attracted millions of people every year, the beaches generated heated debates regarding their development, accessibility, policing, and racial segregation. Contributing to environmental, cultural and social history, this dissertation takes into account the multiple historical actors - engineers, scientists, urban planners, local officials and homeowners - who attempted to transform and regulate the beaches according to competing visions, as well as the ordinary men and women who claimed their right to occupy and appropriate this space. My conclusions are divided into three main categories. First, I demonstrate that the beaches of Los Angeles are today mostly artificial; between the 1930s and the 1960s, the beaches were vastly enlarged thanks to the development of new techniques. Second, I show that the beaches were a place where the traditional social and racial hierarchies could momentarily be challenged. However, the postwar modernization of the beaches and the surrounding neighborhoods led to the eviction of the so-called undesirable public from the shores. Third, the beaches were the birthplace of multiple subcultures which contributed to the emergence and diffusion of new values and bodily norms, whether at the beach or in the city
Nguyen, Thi Thu Nguyen. "L'esprit des lieux et le mythe de l'origine dans l'oeuvre romanesque et philosophique de Pascal Quignard." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015BOR30019/document.
Full textEnigmatic, poetic, fragmentary, abundant, the attraction of Pascal Quignard's work comes from the complex universe of fiction, personal experiences, fabulous stories, extensive documentation and philosophical thoughts, in which some places are homeports, holding the secrets of time. Such places seem to structure the work. The author favors the spirit of places, as if to underline the invisible imaginary links between man, his territory and his past. To study the spirit of places and the origin of myth in the work of Quignard one has to try to understand the recurring evocation, which has become obsessive, of this territory, and his power of creation as writer. With the choice of a double corpus, fiction and philosophy, and a method of interdisciplinary research (literary criticism, anthropology, imagination), our thesis divides into three parts, which will examine in succession the attractiveness of places, then proceed from enchantment to melancholy, and eventually determine the characteristics of the poetic and (the) mythical writing of Quignard. We will find enchanted places that reflect the worldview of the author. They are the true sources of life, imagination and creativity, bringing about reconciliation between man and his past, his territory and his identity, even if melancholy remains fundamental in them. The characters of Quignard are extremely sensitive to all that is lost and forgotten, abandoned homes and places, and to men who are Eve's children in exile. The desire to re-root oneself into the place of the past reveals attachment but also failure, because man is quickly confronted with loss and emptiness. The enchantment remains elusive; melancholy appears constant and opens somber places in his work. To enhance the spirit of place, Quignard makes use of a rich choice of reminiscences, images and myths. His work is at the same time search for, analysis and a quest on man and his place on earth, but it is also a product of imagination and intuition. The complex relations between Fragments, Reminiscences, and Memory in his writing reveal the poetic depth of the work. The narrator also follows moment and instinct, always with the intuition and feelings of a melancholy poet. The writer also uses ancient myths and transforms and enriches them as an effective way to create his own myth of place: myth of (the) loss, myth of (the) return and the myth of (the) origin
Sayegh, Maria. "Lieux et mise en lieux dans Les Trois Villes d' Emile Zola." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015USPCA120.
Full textThis thesis analyses firstly the setting up of space in the preparatory files of Les Trois Villes by Emile Zola. Thus we try to answer these following questions:According to which form is place set up? What are the transformations that space undergoes from one pre-text to another? What are the functions of that space and what is the relation between its setting up and the setting up of the characters and the plot? This study also aims at examining the displacement of characters in the final text of Les Trois Villes. This displacement takes place on different levels (local level, fictive level...) and by different means (look,speech, memory, imagination...). Finally, this thesis seeks to determine the different techniques of discribing places by analyzing the different "mecanisms" of the ambulatory description (mobile characters, figures of speech, enumeration...)

Full textWhat are the stakes of beach production in the autonomous district of Greater Lomé? What are the logics of actors in divergence or convergence? What link should be established between urban policies and the development of urban practices relating to beaches? These are the questions that preside over this research. Indeed, despite the leisure spaces that are surfacing in the urban landscape of Greater Lomé, its beaches remain popular for mass entertainment. The general objective of this work is to produce knowledge on public space through the reading of the forms of production of beaches. To achieve this, the progressive approach will be the cornerstone of the analysis
Murcia, Thierry. "Jésus dans la littérature talmudique." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012AIXM3076.
Full textThis study presents a survey and a systematic analysis of the passages of Talmudic literature (Mishna – Tosefta – Palestinian Talmud – Babylonian Talmud – Midrashim), relative to Jesus or are supposed to be. The documents are examined, criticized and confronted to other sources of Jewish or Christian origin (Hellenistic Jewish literature, Jewish Apocrypha, rabbinic sources, Targumim, Toledot Yeshu – New Testament, Apostolic Fathers, Church Fathers). The investigation tries to answer to several questions: - What did the rabbis exactly know about Jesus? - Has their information any historical value? - Has their perception undergone some evolution? - Did the rabbis of the Talmud have access to the Gospels as a written source? The conclusion of this thesis is that all these documents are rooted in their Sitz im leben. They obviously attest – contra Peter Schäfer (Jesus in the Talmud, 2007) – that the rabbis had no direct acquaintance with the Gospels as written documents. This study also shows, concerning the Babylonian Talmud, that all the passages relative to Jesus belong to the last editorial layer of this corpus (VIIe-VIIIe century)
Eluther, Ena. "L'africanité dans la littérature caribéenne." Thesis, Le Mans, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013LEMA3001.
Full textCan the africanity of caribbean cultures come down to distant survivals, or constitute the foundation of these cultures ? Literature, as a mirror of peoples, as a painting of cultures, as art, allows to perceive the cultural and literary continuity between the african continent and its caribbean diaspora. The comparison of english-speaking and french-speaking novels from the Caribbean and from West Africa and Central Africa shows common cultural features and literary topoi from one area to the other : colonial trauma, protection and adaptation of ancestral legacy, common spiritual values, linguistic problematics, paintings of resistance struggles in which the writer himself is in the frontline. This comparative study, which sometimes draws from caribbean and african oral literature, as from caribbean spanish-speaking literature, suggests that one should view the afro-caribbean cultural expressions as an extension of african cultural expressions, offering in this way a large panorama of the cultural and literary black world. From 1921 to the early years 2000, this analysis takes into account the changes of african and caribbean literatures and the societies they represent. Have the changes definitively broken the african civilizational unity, the cultural links between Africa and the Americas ? On the contrary, the reading of the novels of the corpus shows an homogeneous and coherent picture of cultural and literary expressions of Africa and its caribbean diaspora, so doing putting Africa back into the center of caribbean culture

Full textThis study aims at analysing the writing of history through a corpus of eight novels, published in Quebec between 1980 and 1990. The corpus is comprised of La Tribu and Les Plaines à l’envers by F. Barcelo, of Louis Caron’s trilogy Fils de la liberté, of Premier jardin by Anne Hébert, of La Maison Trestler ou le 8ème jour d’Amérique by Madeleine Ouellette-Michalska’s and of Un dernier blues pour Octobre by Pierre Turgeon. While English distinguishes « history » from « story », French uses the single term « histoire ». If that polysemy may cause confusion, it may also generate a reflection, just as the one underlying this analysis: How does a story tell history? How have stories contributed to the rewriting of Quebec’s plural history in the 1980s? Answering these questions will require three main developments. The first part will be an attempt to explain and understand the fraternal yet fratricidal relationship between literature and history, two disciplines which became distinct in the 19th century. Moreover, it proposes a reflection on the historical novel and historical fiction. The second part will be devoted to the comparative study of the historical and narrative discourses within the constituent novels of the corpus. And finally, in a third part, our reflection will lead us to consider Quebec’s poetics, in order to show how –by rewriting memory– those texts have participated in creating Quebec’s collective identity at the very end of the 20th century

Full textThe subject of this thesis is the research of the contribution of the antique latin abusive literary practise to the social complexity and to the imaginative world. The thesis develops, in three distinct parts, a statistical, linguistic, literary and sociological study of the abusive terms in all the literary genres (125 texts and 50 authors) from IIIrd century BC to the fell of Rome in 475. It includes : - Abuses and Latin language (Volume I). Through a corpus of 1370 words and 2344 quotations, the author studies the different types of abusive words, their origins, constructions, senses and how they are employed in the latin sentences. - Abuses and latin literature (Volumes II and III). The author lists the uses (frequency and density) of abusive terms in theatre, in speeches, in poetry and in prose (philosophical or political studies, novels, correspondence. . . ). He studies the role and the functions of abuses in the texts and the connection they have with poetry, rhetoric and eloquence. - Abuses and antique roman Society (Volume IV) where is analyzed the social field of abuses according to the social groups, the Men/Women relations and the different forms of the practice of abusing naming. A special chapter is devoted to the antique roman imaginative world of abuses. The conclusion is about the civilizing role of abuses as welle in the antique Rome as in our collective unconscious. The corpus of words and quotations is detailed in a lexicon Latin-French and an index French-Latin (tome V). The lexicon is also available in. Pdf format as a CD-Rom
Benachir, Hynde. "Le "haiku" dans la littérature hispanique." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BOR30036/document.
Full textThe purpose of this thesis is set at a crossroads between linguistics and literature since it is about the haiku in Hispanic literature, which we aim to characterize as a poetic form in the Spanish-speaking literary context and as a "prototype" of the brief from the perspective of its discursive and enunciative terms. Traditionally associated with Japanese culture, in which it takes root, the haiku is one of the shortest poetic forms in the world. With its seventeen syllables in all, it compels to the greatest thoroughness in the choice of words, a concise expression and a "condensation" of the meaning that make it a succint poem, often to be pondered after reading. Neither verse nor rhyme are part of the metrical constraints of the Japanese haiku. Its aesthetics, influenced by Zen Buddhism, aims to be contemplative, supported by the subjectivity of the poetic voice, which appears as a "witness of the world", only transposing facts that are sometimes "unimportant", often trivial, yet nonetheless a part of any person's daily life. In Western poetry, the haiku has no equivalent, owing as much to its brevity as to its "puristic" aesthetics. However, it should be noted that it is strongly represented in contemporary Hispanic literature. Neither the Orientalism from the beginning of the XXth century nor the poetic re-assessments started by the Modernists and carried on by the Avant-Garde movements are enough to explain this enthusiasm of the Spanish-speaking poets for this Japanese poem. Indeed, Hispanic literature took hold of this literary phenomenon as soon as the first translations of Japanese anthologies were published, in the 1910s. There is, however, no linguistic connection between the haiku and Spanish-speaking poets. Nevertheless, the first collections of haikus also date back to the 1910s, which indicates that there was no latency between the appearance of the haiku and its adaptation into Spanish. Starting from these observations, we attempted, through a multi-focal approach notably based on literal analysis, to retrace this poetic form's literary and linguistic path, from the Japanese rice paper rolls to the so-called "Hispanic" haiku
Vincent, Manon. "Les animaux dans la littérature hellénistique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040225.
Full textOur study focuses on animals in Hellenistic literature. We deliberately chose to work on a large text corpus in order to highlight the multiple representations of the animal appearing in the texts of the period. The first part of this study is devoted to animal imagery through which the authors describe the characters and human qualities, exposing, to a lesser extent, the analogue relationship between animals. The second part aims to show existing relationships, symbolic or real, between man and animal. The staging of the animals in the story reflects thepractices and ways of thinking of the Hellenistic society towards the animal. The last part of this study presents the attempts to objectify the behaviours and qualities of the animal. In that sense, it shows the rise of philosophical schools and sciences of the period by the philosophical and didactic approach to animal nature. In texts, Hellenistic thought reveals the continual tension between belief and knowledge, between cultural representations and "scientific data" of the animal. If the authors conceive man as belonging to the animal biological continuum, they stand out by the assertion of their superiority in an intellective perspective
Raymond, Emmanuelle. "Forsan et Haec olim meminisse iuuabit : recherches sur les formes et aspects de la mémoire dans l'Enéide de Virgile." Thesis, Lyon 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LYO30051.
Full textThis work draws on recent studies of cultural memory and aims to demonstrate that the notion of memory has a key role to play in the unfolding plot of the Aeneid. The virgilian epic calls the reader’s attention, more often than not, to the poetic fabric of a memorial atmosphere which is identified through ‘places of memory’; meaningful and powerful objects (monimenta); and divine and human characters. From theses characters Aeneas’s family emerges: Anchises represents the past and Ascanius-Iulus embodies the future as the ancestor of the gens Iulia. Aeneas, meanwhile, is the parangon of Memoria Romana. His every choice, the wanderings, the Carthaginian temptation, the catabasis, the visit of Pallanteum and even the death of Turnus at the end of the Aeneid, are permeated throughout with the dialectic of Memory and Oblivion. These observations encourage us to reconsider the general meaning of the poem and to question the reception of the Aeneid as an accomplishment of Jupiter’s fata and the realization of divine will. For the epic poem also seems to be the narrativization of Aeneas’s progressive conquest of memory. This, in turn, suggests intriguing echoes of Augustan preoccupations with the embarrassing alternative visions of ultio and clementia.The poet also raises the suggestion of memory as a driving force behind epic action, which is equally presented as a link between individual and time, owing to the construction of a Roman cultural memory inherited from Trojan and Latin cultural identities. Not only does Vergil use memory as a cornerstone for his narrative, but he often exploits the position of « reversive memory », a concept introduced by this thesis. In many passages, Vergil looks at the events of Aeneas’s time from the embedded perspective of a poet living in Augustan times. This both retrospective and prospective point of view provides a fascinating insight into the continuous construction of epic memory and its historical télos under Augustus

Full textSince the 80s, the postcolonial literatures have been raising increasing interest. Through a corpus of francophone and anglophone novels (from Chamoiseau, Condé, Kourouma, Waberi, Naipaul, Okri, Roy and Rushdie), this study intend to give a clear definition of the notion of hybridity, which is often associated to these literatures. Then, it analyses the way this hybridity is expressed in the novels and tries to show in which way it inscribes itself in an identity strategy. Postcolonial novels, with their diverse and sometimes contradictory heritage, are born on shaky ground, especially as their intended audience is often complex and as they often depend on recognition from Europe. They are peripheral literatures, whose place and legitimacy are not guaranteed. As such, they need to specify their context of enunciation all the more carefully and to develop a very specific scenography. It appears that these literatures rely on an ethos of loss, which is certainly felt as a suffering, but also as liberating. The hybrid also questions the notion of belonging. Embodiment of many identity aporias, it forces to think anew the traditional references. Finally, hybrid discourse, pervaded by perpetual negociation, sets itself up to be a new discourse, the reflection of the today’s changing world. Rather than to represent the identity crisis exclusively as the unhappy condition of the postcolonial individual, the postcolonial literatures turn it into a privileged position from which to elaborate new ways to be in the world

Full textThe Horn of Africa has a traditional oral literature which is rich and varied as the rest of the continent, starting from pastoral mythology to poetry, legend and storytelling. But with the social upheaval which occurred with the arrival of European settlers and the introduction of writing, the chain of transmission of the oral tradition is threatened. Many Europeans have sought to describe the habits and customs of these people. Whereas on the other hand, the writers from the Horn of Africa are often inspired by giving it (orality) and a new way of doing it. The following research work strives to reflect traditional forms of orality and their impact on modern literature

Full textDuring the early modern era, the european overseas expansion intensified the circulation of goods and people around the World. From the 16th century, the Iberian expansion contributed to change the relationship between the Europeans and the terrestrial globe and was followed by the production of a vast array of texts and materials, which were sometimes printed, and then translated into a variety of European languages. By examining various translations intro French, published in Paris and Lyon around 1500, of some sixteenth century accounts of the « New Worlds » and other « foreign lands » (among others the writings of Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, Fernão Lopes de Castanheda, Paolo Giovio or Giovanni Battista Ramusio), the thesis reviews the way through which a renewed knowledge of the world is locally produced. By focusing on the entire translation process, from production to its multiple appropriation, it becomes possible to understand how one makes the world known in sixteenth-century France

Full textThis thesis schematizes, in Malicroix by Henri Bosco, the process that presides to the writing of the novel itself. Using a poietic approach, we consider the text as a writer’s poetic that takes a fictional form. A phenomenological perspective allows us to study the novel from the point of view of perception, and mythocritique enables us to reflect on the perception of the world – especially the world of the text – through the angle of the sacred and its symbols. Reconstructing the horizontal and vertical structures of the novel, we reflect on diverse aspects of the text and of the scriptural process. The reading horizon constitutes the first chapter of our thesis and offers a triple view on the novel: the story and the characters, the spatiotemporal context and the mythical point of view. In the second chapter are elaborated two central notions, the figures and the chronotopes. Two groups of figures emerge, one associated with the writer as creator of the text and the other, with the process of expression. The figures play distinct roles in the conception and expression and are represented in Malicroix by way of the characters. The chronotopes study divides the novel in eleven times-spaces that constitute the basis of the figures’ progression through the text. The third chapter details how the figures cross the chronotopes’ series, drawing the scriptural route inscribed in eleven successive situations in the text. The last chapter contains two parts. The first examines the writer’s poetic that Bosco published under the title « L’exaltation et l’amplitude ». The second, which constitutes the final objective of our study, integrates the elements of this writer’s poetic in the eleven successive situations, producing a description of the stages of the scriptural process followed by Bosco while writing Malicroix.

Full textFrom the 16th Century until the 20th, le troyan myth emerges in a variety of forms in French literature with famous or less known works but of equal significance as they convey the climate and the spirit of an era. The reason why all of these writers go into mythology could be partly explained by the imitation of ancients applied to the French letters of the 16th and 17th centuries. How this material is transformed, what the writers are expressing through the legends and the myths, which is the relationship of the transformed materiel with the initial, are some of the questions that this research is requested to explore. During the period of the Absolutism in which the freedom of expression is limited, the myth is proved to be a secure means which offers the security of the distance, the suitable frame and the flexibility of the mythological material which are processed by the creators. It becomes the vehicle of doubt and criticism of various grades against authority. The end of this political period removes from the myth this function. But it doesn’t stop its use in literature and the theater. This is because the myth is capable of putting again questions for the vital causes which deal with the human race, such as the woman, the war, the xenophobia

It is all the more evident as the impeded world always sets its seal to the human destiny from sheere silence to a sibylin ot veiled discourse or else a temporarily impossibl utlerance: it is afantastic stepping-stone to the attainment of knowledge, to the happy development of personality, and to the revival of genuine and promising speech a recall of the divine model. Repress the flow of speech and it tells better: actually this is what all those romances paradoxically teach and this lesson is to foundin their advancingnarrative as well as in their rhetoric. Indeed, the writers themselves constantly seem to restain their discourse, to stopi to hold it in; but is pnlu have it guessed, or even supplied by the reader following an infernal process of addition. The paradox which appears between the huge amount of writing in the arthurian literature and the way words are refrained stands merely as a semblance: when performed in the fiction of romances the speech keeps being hindered and therefore the stream of the words used in the arthurien book runs endlessly

Full textThe Byzantine general Belisarius is simultaneously a great conqueror and a blind beggar, a historical personage and a figure of legend. He appears repeatedly in literature and the arts across Europe from the sixth century to the present. His importance has been noted before, but up till now he has never been the object of a broad and far-reaching synthesis. The present study, which is based on a vast bibliographical investigation of major and minor sources, retraces more than fifteen hundred years of history of the theme, emphasising in particular its legacy in French literature. It is important to show just how universal this forgotten figure once was, and this study maps out definitively the history of a hero who became a myth during his very long peregrinations. Its point of departure, still famous today, is the treatment of Belisarius during the Enlightenment

Full textThis research work deals with Caribbean literature and more precisely with the issue of narration. A literary corpus will be used to study migrations and amalgamations within societies living in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Caribbean writers have always been very concerned with History, and their attempts to describe their own society have been a constant phenomenon since the early 20th century. Thanks to this thesis, we will try to see whether all the contributions brought along via migratory movements toward, inward and outward Caribbean have been acknowledged by the culture of the host countries. The study is divided in three parts: the first will present the concepts and the historical background alluded to in the novels and short stories, the second will consist in a textual analysis, the third will focus on some authors' points of view. Marta Rojas, Luis López Nieves and Marcio Veloz Maggiolo have been asked five questions about Caribbean literature, their own oeuvre and their sources of inspiration. Thanks to their answers, we will try to figure whether nowadays Caribbean literature should be considered as one or many

Full textScientific medicine sees only mechanical bodies, it doesn't see the inner desires. Bodies live everyday trhough a number of obscure phenomenon : emotions, tiredness, pain. Literature, as born from the desires of the writing subject, on the entwined borders of world and language, gives us a subtle approach on life's experiments, through the analogical link reading is. Let us read jean reverzy's fatigue, marguerite duras' douleur, j. M. G. Le clezio's feverish emotions, or thomas mann. Literature's alchemy tells us about the pains of mind; what does it say about physical illnesses (cancer, aids)? with herve guibert and other writers, technical medicine comes into literature. Along with aids, irrationality, causality, fear of strangers are back, as in the time of plague and lepers. But what of the physician's pain, his disgust over the scarred body ? what can be his reaction to disgust ? to the other person's death, a forecast of his own ? the works of several doctor-writers explore the mysteries of patient-doctor relationship and restore that part of the physician's self which had been held back, day after day, by his medical practice. Doctor-writers stand on a tight line between caring for the others and caring for one self; bertween curing the ill and secretly fighting for his own salvation

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 textMagical realism, real marvellous, marvellous realism: notions extremely misread in France nowadays, or completely amalgamated in a terminological confusion almost as wide as the lexical field they cover. With this alarming acknowledgement in mind, and having noticed the recurrence of numerous common characteristics in texts which were related to them equally, we had as ambition in our work to offer a synthetic definition, under a global appellation of marvellous realism, a literary mode in full measure, distinct from the fantastic or from the marvellous in which it thinks however they are so often attached. For this reason, and to have a corpus which illustrates this enlarging sphere of influence in a rather broad way geographically, we leans on the texts of five authors coming from very different horizons : Haitian René Depestre, Mexican Juan Rulfo, of the Ivory Coast Ahmadou Kourouma, the native Indian writer, Salman Rushdie and one of first Gypsy writers, Matéo Maximoff. Their peculiar writings allowed us to arrest the literary aim of this mode, its impact on the renewal of the codes of representation of the real and beyond, its interest as far as the evolution of contemporary literature is concerned
