Magnier, Julien. "Pour une littérature de l’interdépendance. Littérature et renouvellements politiques en Afrique noire, à partir de Mongo Beti." Thesis, Paris 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA030129/document.
Full textThe links between literature and african politic seem to be so close that they concentrated the problematics and the evolutions of artistic field. According to Mongo Beti, the relation is preponderant, whereas Alain Mabanckou asserts that this closeness is a possibility. Between these generations, it exists both an esthetical and ideological change: the crossing from delinking to an interdependant regime. The writers focus on the useful of the form in ordrer to underline the meaning. The politic of literature follows the contours of the world and its entrance in the era of the Poetic of Relation

Full textThis work examines how the imagery which Demosthenes takes from nature, medicine and warfare, is a tool of political propaganda and gives a literary shape to his speeches as well. Demosthenes uses this imagery very coherently. In the same speech, he links different kinds of imagery around the same meaning-core. Furthermore, he repeats the same imagery to mean the same thing in different speeches. Demosthenes thus works out true metaphorical slogans so as to promote his main political ideas. Some are taken up by his political friends and fought off by his enemies. Therefore, by studying imagery we can cast a new light on these two fundamental issues in the Ancient Athens of 4th century B.C. : how did the orators use to organise their political propaganda and how might they have collaborated with each other ? But imagery goes beyond this practical aim. Metaphors and similes are literary material which enables Demosthenes to enrich his speeches’ style through different registers. They give them a Homeric or a comical tone and shape, when Demosthenes uses some patterns again to extol his policies or to disparage his adversaries. With metaphors and similes, Demosthenes is also rivaling with the recent trends of Kunstprosa, as it is practised by Plato and Isocrates. From this point of view, the speech On the crown has a special place : in this speech, because of its retrospective point of view, which asseses his overall policies, Demosthenes brings his literary claims to a climax. Nevertheless, such an ambition cannot be separated from his rhetorical and practical aims : imagery is being used to defend his policies, in a real panegyric

Full textThe aim of this research is to study how Quebec sociology deals with the institutional measures for the integration of asylum seekers. The research was based on the observation that there are few studies on the integration of asylum seekers in Quebec sociology whereas the reflection on the matter is widely explored elsewhere. After analysing sociological texts on the topic, six themes have been proposed: the measures, the epistemological approach, the phenomenological approach, the comparative approach, the feminist approach and the critical approach. Economic measures are the most developed and they mostly concern job seeking. However, a few social, cultural and political measures do exist. As for the discourses on integration, there are differences on several levels. If at the Canadian federal level, integration refers to multiculturalism, in Quebec it deals with interculturalism, a compromise between the desire to preserve Quebec's cultural identity and the attachment to Canadian values of acceptance of the culture of the other. In the past, if the asylum seeker benefited from a positive aura with a tradition of welcoming the asylum seeker as a national value, he is now confronted with an arsenal of restrictive and dissuasive immigration measures that makes integration difficult for him. On the other hand, asylum seekers have their own perceptions and discourses on integration. The comparative approach made it possible to compare Quebec, Canadian, French and American integration models. In the past, the first comparisons of sociologists focused on French and American classical models. However, the importance of the phenomenon of immigration in these societies leaded them to find and propose other concepts in order to represent as much as possible this reality. The feminist approach shows the situation of intersectionality of women. The critical approach highlights discrimination in the process of integration and its measures which are mainly related to the issue of social integration.

Full textThis PDH work investigates the conceptions of literature that have promoted the revival of crime fiction in France since the turn of the 21st century. While the press still portrays a 'literature of rebels', committed to denouncing the dysfunctions of the social world, the study highlights the decline of the 'literary leftism' epitomized by néo-polar generations in the 1970s-1990s. Contrary to a cliché of crime fiction as political literature, the work shows how complex and plural the contemporary politics of "polar" are. It explores the misunderstandings surrounding the political imaginary of the genre, examines the outlines of a new pragmatic approach, adapted to an extended publishing market and to the cultural policies that have taken hold of the genre. The study draws on literary studies, social sciences and discourse analysis. It is based on a literary corpus corresponding to the 200 or so novels labelled “polar” and awarded between 2004 and 2019, as well as on a large collection of discourse from the press, from literary festivals and from 25 research interviews with authors, publishers and gatekeepers (prize and festival organisers). I defend the hypothesis of a republican re-reading of crime novel that has been favoured by its institutionalisation. As mass-market literature which is also realist literature, French contemporary “polar” carries the ideal of enlightened citizenship and portrays itself as the mediator of intellectual empowerment, that has become a central horizon for emancipation

Full textAeschylus political discourse is characterized by a large a specified political terminology. The poet uses distinct groups of terms to refer to the rulers and the political institutions. The political frame of each tragedy seems consistent with the historical tradition of each one of the described city-states. The choice of the terminology reveals poets political doctrine regarding the political systems from despotic to democratic rule. He is engaged to the political instruction of his audience by discussing the competence of various political forces to face the challenge of political life. The message of the political superiority of democratic Athens is conveyed as well as the scheme “hubris-fall” suggesting the combination of morality and politics and inspiring the reverent fear in response to the authority of law in democratic polis

Full textIn the context of the Belle Epoque, many novelists who cling to represent "groups", shape and diverse scope. This group representation incurs moral issues but also, and more, political issues. Across the Group, the question is that of the individual in his relationship with the company or with the Nation. In this period dominated by a general will to react against the decay, this question is that of individualism, analyzed and presented as a disease and as the same factor of the decomposition of the social body by Bourget, in 1881, in his "Theory decadence. " The question is moral insofar as it relates to the duties of the individual; it is also political, insofar as it relates to the proper functioning of society or the health of the nation. Finally, it is aesthetic, both because the problem of the decline of the literary work and the decadence of society are inseparable, according to the organismic vision Bourget in his "Theory of decadence", and because the relationship between the individual and the group, referring to the link between the novelist to his audience, but also to literary groups or networks of influence, committed a certain vision of literature. This thesis aims to reflect these thoughts from, not the stances of each other, but the representation of the group proposed to the inside of romantic fictions. In this perspective, reflection will focus particularly on some novels that share represent different forms of groups, including Paludes and Les Caves du Vatican Gide, The Uprooted of Maurice Barres, The Step of Paul Bourget, Le Sun dead Mauclair Camille and The Child in chains of François Mauriac

Full textWhy and how thinking since novel, this uncommon “genre” who has historically found himself at the crossroad between the ancient and the modern? who has been in many ways the very representation of the new poetics building on the ruins of the fictional hierarchies of the past? who has shown us the new possibilities as well as the new aporias all as parts of the horizons of literary modernity itself? By asking these questions, we will examine the privileged place occupied by novel at Fredric Jameson and Jacques Rancière who both thought a politics of literature: Rancierian contre-lecture of the Idea of literature and Jamesonian re-reading of interpretation of the texts are both considered as the starting point leading us to the heart of our own problem, i.e., questioning a thought of reading which, in spite of their methodical divergences, makes Jameson and Rancière, before being literary critics, two thinkers of reading as an emancipatory practice. For Jameson and Rancière the novel seems, while changing form and content, the continuity of his own challenging. From Cervantes and his archetypal novel to Flaubert and his quest for le mot juste, from Balzac and his zoological typology of social species to Proust and Joyce and their book-universe, passing by the storytelling of Conrad, Faulkner and Woolf, we pursue the critical interventions drafted and developed by Jameson and Rancière in the fictional operational fields in order to reopen for our part the new horizons where the philosophical processes are intersected by historical and political facts and situations

Full textIt can seam surprising to dedicate such a consistent study to political sorts of a medieval fairy, on the one hand because it is common to differentiate fantasy and politics — whereas the appeal to fantasy is common to legitimate a power or to build a political community —, and on the other hand because the main branch of the Lusignan lineage, of which Mélusine is the mythical ancestor, has been exctincted since 1308. However, surprisingly, Mélusine, a marvel drawing contrasted understandings and representations, falls into multiple political dynamics. As early as the Middle Age, Mélusine incarnates diverse sorts : the expansion and the decline of the Lusignan lineage that she justifies. Manipulated for domination andlegitimation purposes, as well as to celebrate a lineage memory explored in medieval novels by Jean d’Arras (1393) and Coudrette (c.1401), Mélusine establishes herself over the centuries through literary and paraliterary texts and coats of arms as the Merlusine, the mother of the Lusignan, but also the mother of other aristocratic lineages. At the same time, from the Middle Age onwards, but in an increased way since the 20th century, this lineage figure has been disfigured, its goals have been displaced, and Mélusine can respond to multiple identity questionings related to a social class or an individual, to the Nation or to the assertion of feminist ideas
Welfringer, Arnaud. "Le courage de l'équivoque : politiques des "Fables" de La Fontaine." Paris 8, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA084033.
Full textHow is it possible that the Fables, that contain their own commentary in their final moral, gave rise to such many different political interpretations? The first part studies the hermeneutical strategies of the political commentaries of the Fables (Ch. I-IV), while the second finds in the classical theories of the apologue a rhetorical reading through which the Fables are characterized by a multiplicity of interpretations or equivocation (Ch. V-VI). For scholars the Fables are focused on a face-to-face between the poet and the king: volens nolens, they go back to frame of the courage of truth, parresia (M. Foucault), a topos since the Antiquity: to tell sharply to the prince his true nature (ethos). The second part examines the relevance of this ethical-discursive reading of politics in the XVI and XVII centuries (Ch. VII-VIII), focusing then on the fables in which the parresia is at the center of the scene (Ch. IX). If the parresiastic requirement appears clearly, it is at the same time softened: brutality is abandoned, the parresia became a private affair, the formulation is a task assigned to the princes themselves. The third part studies the Fables as a parresia aimed for prince’s interpretation (they enable him to improve his judgment and his wisdom), but open to other readers (Ch. X). La Fontaine himself makes clear this double destination to the prince and the public (Ch. XI). The Fables reveal the truth, not in the ancient brutal manner, but through equivocation: opened to different hermeneutical alternatives, the spitted text is received by a reader who has to make a choice revealing his ethos (Ch. XII). This equivocation comes from the fabulist’s work on his hypothesis (Ch. XIII). For this reason the politics of the Fables presupposes an ethics and a politics of interpretation (Ch. XIV)

Full textOutside the pamphleteering campaign which begins in 1789, a whole province of fiction becomes annexed to politics. The political thought of the revolution can be traced not only in overtly political pieces but in novels which, in diffuse ways, contribute to the development of patriote (i. E. Pro-revolutionary) ideas and their anti-revolutionary counterpart. While, during the Revolution, narrative forms as such contribute little to significance, the novels themselves invite a classification according to political contents. Two great trends, for and against the Revolution, manifest themselves. To bring about a definitive breach with the ancien regime, the patriote novelwriters praise the conquests of the revolution. They create the character of the soldierlabourer-the hero of revolutionary struggles-, extol the patriotic vertues of the republican woman, and glorify the rebellion of the black spartacus. Patriote writers see in the revolution the consummation of the age of enlightment, while the anti-revolutionary novelists regard it as a cataclysm which has brought down a world of much-cherished privilege. The sudden destruction of the political and social edifice leads them to analyse the causes of the revolution and the nefarious part played in its emergence by the philosophy of the enlightment. A desire to resurrect the past leads some novelists into a medievalism which stresses monarchy and christian faith, or into evocations of the libertine world of the ancien regime. After the fall of Robespierre, the novel becomes steeped in convention. The conservative novelists formulate an ideal of authority and order and plead for reconciliation within the nation. If a survey of narrative forms reveals little originality among novelists, the meagreness of their invention should not obscure the interest of such writings, which were born of their authors' wish to intervene in social and political events
Frank, Krystyna. "La réception de la littérature française en Pologne, 1944-1956 : littérature, politique, idéologie." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040283.
Full textThe precise study of the reception of French literature in Poland in the years 1944-1956 will show us that it is biased towards ideology and politic due to the nature of the change of the political regime after the war, following Stalin's grip on Central and Eastern Europe. The gradual installation of a communist regime strain the introduction of the politic with a strong ideological component, in culture, in order to create the conditions for culture management directly by the Polish communist party. The consequences, on one hand were the control of paper production and printing houses, the gradual blurring of private publishers, and the establishment of centralised management and planning, on the other hand was the installation of a precise cultural policy brandishing the democratisation of culture. The reception of French literature of past centuries is in the process of creating the new Marxist literary rule, to be the literary "progressive" canon and to include it in the project of "Popularization" of culture, hence the reissues in 1946 of great French realists of the nineteenth century, in the first reception period (1944-48), marked by the debate on realism in literature in the new literary press. The presence of French literature of the 18th and 19th centuries in this broad debate, serves to illustrate the Marxist theory of literature, initially based on the concept of great realism developed by G. Lukacs, and then, in the second reception period (1949-56), makes direct reference to Soviet criticism. Both periods have been emphasised by the large-scale editions of "progressive classical" French, following the Soviet model, being used directly to achieve the goal of training, and influencing the new intelligentsia coming from the popular classes who did not have access to culture before. In parallel, reception of a large quantity of works of French Communist writers and from fellows travellers, and the virulent criticism of the existentialists, confirms the thesis of ideological and political dominance of such receipt

Full textThis work analyzes the dynamics of the myth of the Romanian medieval prince as it reveals itself in the Romanian literature of the XVI-th and XVII-th centuries. Teachings of Neagoe Basarab to his son Theodosius is the literary text used for a comparative analysis between the imaginary of the Byzantine and Romanian political and religious rituals. Dimitrie Cantemir's Hieroglyphic History is the baroque text chosen to reveal the decline of the medieval prototype during the XVII-th century. Our analysis proves that Gilbert Durand's theory of the "semantic area” works also within the Romanian culture, and the fundamental myths are submitted not only to development and decline but also to subsistence periods when they can be used as instruments of political propaganda (the case of the Romanian communism)

Full textFurther to the violent colonial conquests and the postcolonial civil wars, many writers, men and women, applied themselves to depict contemporary Africa's political and cultural upheavals. Female figures emerge from these struggles of power and the underlying resistance movements. Holding political sponsibilities or commited in revolutionary missions, they scope of African societies’tendancies to corruption and despotism through subversive speeches and/or protesting reactions. Based on recent texts published between 1975 and 2005, this dissertation proposes to highlight the rhetorical and stylistic processes at work in the development of a women’s political imaginary. Following an interdisciplinary methodology, we will try to determine the cultural and ideological issues of these constant features and/or poetic innovations in the rewriting, modelling or subversion processes of African struggles’memory

Full textThe present work purports to demonstrate that utopian fictions were successful during the French Revolution, even if critical literature did not acknowledge that success. The analysis, based on a corpus of fifty five works, bears on the various aesthetic and political stakes involved in the recourse to utopias. Utopian fictions, as testament to the cultural and political crisis of the times, are marked by the diversity, relativity and perfectibility of the ideal societies they imagine. The characteristic of French Revolution utopias is to reduce the gap between the ideal world presented in fiction and contemporary society. But though utopian writers resort to fiction to represent the French Revolution, they nevertheless offer fully-fledged political models. They set out reflections on the foundations of ideal society, and they meditate over the best form of government possible, which should be able to safeguard political liberty while reconciling legal and practical equality. The dissertation finally investigates in what ways that utopian imagination might have influenced revolutionary beliefs and mindsets. Some utopian writers wished to see their social models realized. The revolutionary context, more than ever, encouraged people to think that such desires were possible

He was the subject for every cultural polemics and for every political stir stemming from the conflicts between the romanticists and the neo-classicists, between the partisans of prioslavery and the abolitionists and between the reformists and the annexionists. His stances not only emerged from his actions in the society of his time. He also left us a written account in wich he proposes a wide and very complete programme meant to assure definitively the prosperity of cuba. In litterature, he recommended a raising of moral standards in plotsand language, as well as the creation of a peculiar litterature schowing the cultural originality of the island. He conceived a plan of reform for education in order to spread primary instruction to the whole population. In politic he claimed a larger autonomy compatible with the loyalty of the colony with spain. So he marked the history of ideas by his patriotism and his conception of the citizen utility

Full textTitle: « The Political Representation of Power and its Drift in Literary Work by Maxime N’Débéka ». This thesis is a monographic study which explores the thematic of political power in six texts by the Congolese writer: Le Président (1982), Les Lendemains qui chantent (1983), Equatorium (1987), Vécus au miroir (1991), Le Diable à la longue queue (2000) et Sel-piment à la braise (2003). After having presented the various analytical categories of the selected “duchetian” socio-critical method, this dissertation highlights a literary analysis of political power by taking into account a certain number of cultural, sociological and psychological factors which in one way or another influence its perception and management within a geographical space and institutional framework representative of Sub-Saharan Africa. By putting forward the typological differences as well as the trajectories borrowed by the “Fathers of independences” and the “Guides of the revolution” in order to ascend to power, this thesis shows how, after officially achieving independence from colonial rule, African political “elites” very often driven by the lure of gain and the appropriation of privileges have set up authoritarian and mind-numbing political regimes which led them to drift

Full textThis research analyses the political stakes of literary internationalisation, starting from the importation in France of Czechoslovakian, Polish, Hungarian, Romanian and, occasionally, Soviet literatures. To make a sociology of the international circulation of literary works supposes two levels of analysis : to describe the empirical ways of the transfer in France of these literatrues and to make a sociology of the actors having contributed to this transfer. The quantitative and qualitative investigation involved the construction of a database, analysed statistically, the realisation of seventy interviews and an archival research. The model worked out by epitomising six translation channels and the descritpion of their historical dynamics allowed us to confirm our main hypothesis, namely that the international circulation of the works produced under conditions of narrow control of the printed paper obeyed, also, to politicised logic
Balcázar, Moreno Melina. "Politiques de la mémoire : l'écriture de l'événement dans l'oeuvre de Jean Genet." Thesis, Paris 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA030041.
Full textIn the work of Jean Genet (1910-1986), the question of writing – which is that of literariness - is indissociable from political and ethical reflection. One of the most remarkable aspects of Genet’s writing is the way in contends with the imbrication between these two kinds of reflection. This double dimension is addressed here from the vantage point of History as inscribed in Genet’s oeuvre, and through an interrogation into the rapport between the literary on the one hand and the political and ethical on the other. The first interrogation concerns the relation of Genet’s writing to memory and History, and the articulations and disarticulations this entails. These questions are inseparable from a critique of the distinction between the public and the private or intimate, which traverses the whole of Genet’s work. For Genet, writing must be the « work of life », yet how can it without restraining itself to conventions that regu! late each act in classifying it within one of its domains? Indeed, the central question that is raised here is that of the Event. For Genet, it is not enough to commemorate the past. He searches for a writing that conserves the trace of suffering, whilst producing an effect, and thus constituting itself in the Event. His reflection on what might be called the “politics of memory” compels us to examine the notions of trace, materiality, and performativity as they regard the precarity of the living

Full textThis work endeavors to establish and identify the relationships of Spanish surrealist poetry with both the esthetic and the political avant-gardes, between 1929 and 1934. The study specifically focuses on the work of poets such as Rafael Alberti, Emilio Prados, José María Hinojosa, Luis Cernuda, Federico García Lorca, Manuel Altolaguirre, Xavier Abril, and Pablo Neruda. It aims at demonstrating how deeply the various 'isms' of the early 20th century have influenced Spanish surrealism well into the late 1920s, a process which in turn made it possible for the driving force of surrealism to help radicalize Spanish poetry during the 1930s. By first offering a detailed analysis of all the major European avant-garde movements - from Russian and Italian futurism to dadaism, ultraism and Esprit Nouveau along with an overview of their respective leaders' most influential work - including the famous "Residencia de Estudiantes group", the first part of the study focuses on the ideological stakes that come to light between 1909 and 1929. It then proceeds to detail the Spanish avant-garde's choices at the turn of the 1920s; this part is based on a thorough analysis of two surveys carried out by La Gaceta Literaria, and G. Diego's Anthology of Spanish poetry. Finally, through the example of the Malaga 'Litoral group', the work seeks to establish the fully-fledged collective and programmatic character of a subversive and revolution-oriented Spanish surrealism

Full textThis study is an analysis of representations of food in tales and picture books for children under six years old. Balanced diet, gargantuan meals, unverifiable devoration, or food discoveries, food is staged to define its diverse meanings. Even if food is either a source of pleasure or a risk for health in children books, they allow to show all the faces of food intake and its main sociocultural stakes. As media, the picture book is a social, symbolic and significant object which participates in a particular symbolic incorporation. Also, food representations with adults reveal the complexity of the omnivorous eater, particularly when it is about children. These are perceveid as an oger to be controlled or to be taught moderation, for their well being. There is reflexivity and selfcontrol in adults food practices which will act on their child representation in front of food
Lehnen, Ludwig. "Mallarmé et Stefan George : politiques de la poésie a l’époque du symbolisme." Paris 4, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA040130.
Full textThis study sets out to re-examinate the filiation between Mallarmé and George from the point of view of their poetical politics. As opposed to the critical main tendancies which locate the Mallarméen influence in the first period of the German poet, the focus here is in his later works and the myths of “Maximin”, the “New Reign” and the “Secret Germany”. With this aim, after studying the critical reception in the Introduction, the first chapter brings out “another Mallarmé” than the dominant exegesis. The continuation of the Mallarméen lesson is analyzed in the poetical work of George in the second chapter, and in the theoretical and ideological production of the followers of the two poets in the third chapter, with, at its center, their critique of modern human science and their endeavours to an epistemological reform. The conclusion emphasises to what extent the articulation of poetics and politics as it were elaborated in Symbolism continues to be of interest

Preceded by a preliminary examination of the notion of honor from a historical and theoretical perspective, the first part is devoted to the analysis of honor as a political principle, which in Stendhal's opinion is as contemptible as it is praiseworthy, implicating both the monarchy and revolutionary zeal. The next part analyses several key artists from different eras in Stendhal’s biographical writings. The idealistic manner of living as an artist testifies to a lapse of harmony between honor and the arts which invalidates the Ciceronian formula "honos alit artes". The last part looks back at Stendhal's inquiry into honor as a condition of a horrible form of revenge which was evidenced by Italian customs during the 16th century, before clarifying, using several examples from fiction, the poetics peculiar to honor in the representation of love. Drawing on these main issues of honor, politics, ethics and aesthetics, the study proposes to show the ideological and axiological ambiguity of the notion of honor in Stendhal’s writing. Using this notion, which necessarily refers to the past, it also aims at clarifying the way Stendhal saw his century in the midst of upheaval, namely post-revolutionary modernity

Full textDrieu, a male character, is a torn and hesitating by historical circumstances to make choices and to take stricter decisions. His political and social powerlessness stem from the fact that he wants both to get involved and to remain faithful to values he thinks he represents. In the in-between war period, woman will be his secret revenge, a way to possess the society he looks down upon. He satisfies his passion which encompasses everything. To grasp the mechanism proper to Drieu's imagination leads us to envisage the relation between the theme of love and that of the hero's political engagement as a dialectical relation. Indeed, the historical experience of the male character has, to a large extent, an impact on his love attitude, and his experience with women will contribute to the maturity of his political ideas. This dualism reflects the impossibility to broach the conflict between antagonistic forces. For Drieu, the feminine principle and the male one come to mean taking a position/stand between either decadence or virility

Full textOur thesis demonstrates that identity referents to the forest of Québcécois society are based on the crystallization of the representations that took shape and spread in the first half of the 20th century. More precisely, we studied the scientific, economic and cultural representations disseminated by the elite in the public domain, by overlaying legislative materials, literary works and print media.Our thesis unfolds a narrative divided into three pivotal time: 1905-1906, with the creation of the Minister of Lands and Forests (MLF); 1921-1922, with the enactment of a first legislation supporting the implementation of forest inventories and forest management; and 1937-1938, marking the end of an era with the departure of Gustave Piché, Head of Forest Service since its inception. Implicitly, through the intricate work of adapting the American Conservation Movement to that of the Québécois reality.Juxtaposed to this political-administrative time frame, we considered literary works. It is not so much by the quantity of literary works addressing the forest, by which we can measure the presence of the forest in literary works, but more by the quality and by the diversification of forestry realities that the works disclose. These worksbringto the forefront the collective and multidimensional nature of forest and territorial symbolic appropriation.Although it may seem on the surface that there is a large gap between political-administrative and literary backgrounds, they do cross roads in the first half of the 20th century bearing witness to the discursive production of a fringe of Québécois society motivated to lay the foundation of a “forest mentality” faithful to its image

Full textThe present study, bases upon an interpretation of Annette Kolb's writings comprehensive of several letters and unpublished manuscripts attempts to clarify the ideological foundations of the political engagement lying at the core of this authors’ entire production. Our approach mitigates the commonly held view that her dedication to the Franco German reconciliation was of a purely sentimental nature. Indeed, the analysis of her pacifist and pro European conceptions reveals a more complex design. Taking after the double legacy of enlightenment and German irrationalism, Annette Kolb rejects the opposition of conservatism and progress, of aristocracy and democracy, to find her unifying principle in the innate conviction that a natural moral hierarchy is to be found in humanity. Under this new light, we have investigated the spiritual itinerary of a writer whose declared positions concerned most major European events between 1870 and 1963

The amazing freedom of expression of João Guimarães Rosa changes this novel into a place where the sertanejo people's spiritual search has an original expression. The dominating class, under the cover of adopting new policy make's a very conservative action. Here is the Brazilian history, which is present under the words of the text and in this Sertão where everything is allowed. This is the history of a country who repeats the dramatic relation between capitalism and slavery
Haas, Lídia. "La mission comme littérature : Mihály Vörösmarty et la littérature nationale." Paris, EHESS, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015EHES0014.
Full textThe term of national literature is commonly defined as the whole set of works written in the national language. In Hungary, during the first half of the 19th century, literature is national not only by its language, but also by its social destination. It has a mission: the founding of the nation. Our study intends to demonstrate the complex meaning of the term of national literature through the analysis of the works and the career of the poet Mihály Vörösmarty. We aim to reveal that Vörösmarty has accomplished the national mission of the poet by writing of poetry and also by his political activity. In addition, the critical reception of his works and the cult of his person and his poems also participated in convey a political meaning to his writings. Finally, the various transmission modes of his texts contributed to a large extent to the achievement of the national mission of his poetry

Full textThis sociological study draws on a comparative literature thesis entitled « Entre littérature et philosophie : l’Homme est-il un animal politique ? Physique de la misanthropie » (Between literature and philosophy: is Man a political animal? Physics of misanthropy) (defended in Nov. 2013, published by L’Harmattan). In this analysis, the aim was to try to sketch a philosophical draft of the hatred of humanity based on misanthropic theatre before trying to apply the results thus obtained to concentration camp literature and to dystopias, two other genres which form the breeding-ground of misanthropic doctrines and practices. This first thought process allowed giving form to some powerfully material aspects of misanthropy: its geography, its therianthropic productions, its infantile manifestations, its exanthropic phenomenology and its dietetics.In the present political science thesis, our aim is to identify the cultural determinations of misanthropy and misology (be it mythological, religious, artistic or in the media) before reflecting on the impact they might have on the political field of speech or of deeds. Isn’t misanthropy a compound of misogyny and misandry? Can misanthropy be erotic? How does it appear in the realms of work, economy, technique, war or in the issues relating to minorities? Eventually we will ask ourselves to which extent democracy creates misanthropy

Thesis, Paris 10, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA100034.
Full textThe present dissertation explores the interactions between culture and politics by focusing on the history of the Soviet Writer’s Union of the Uzbek SSR and the fate of the writers who ruled this institution during the second Stalinism. Analysing these relationships as a form of co-ruling, the study sheds light on the conditions of production of the literature, on the changing ratio of power between the institutions, and on the public role of the writer after the Great Terror of 38-39, which leads to the decimation of the cultural elites, ans especially of the Muslim reformists. Surviving writers have to use new strategies to re-stablish a continuity in literature, like using propaganda productions to rehabilitate literary genres. During the world war two, the evacuation of industries and intellectuals reinforce the power of the Soviet Writer’s Union, as Tashkent is becoming a prime cultural centre. The writers nationalise and give a new meaning to the political imaginary of the Soviet Union, giving birth to an hybrid culture, which go far beyond the Stalinist project of “national in form, proletarian in content”. Finally, the study analyses the late Stalinism at the light of the local reinterpretations of the repressive Soviet literary politics from 1945 to 1953. Shedding light on the conflicts between institutions and factions, the study shows the singular character of this period, as the nationalisation of imaginaries and language is reinforced whilst the centre aims to regain power on this territory and wants to establish the primacy of Russian culture. The study ends with the resolution of this tension in a new episode of terror. The nationalisation of the culture is then suspended until the Thaw

Full textOur tour, which covers the main part of both Enlightenment and Romantic period, first of all, has enabled us to reveal a radical change concerning the conceptions of Greece. The following dichotomies – the classic Greece vs. modern and enslaved Greece; the classic Greece vs. modern and insurrectionary Greece which achieved its independence later; are spread in a certain „imaginaire“ that does not stop deconstructing and reconstructing itself. All the above mentioned, in a certain geographical context which is ambiguous, has implied unavoidable shiftings since the French Revolution until the July Monarchy. Therefore, it seems that since the Renaissance until Winckelmann as well as Winckelmann until nowadays, Greece has always been presented as a space which ought to be revealed, read over and over again and as a result -reconstructed

Full textLeaving behind the spiritualist and idealist method which is frequent in poetry criticism nowadays, this dissertation aims to challenge the model of an essentially non-political poetry. It adopts both a historical and theoretical approach and focuses on so-called minor poems or poems that were later on excluded from the literary canon. Focused on France, Britain and Germany between the two World Wars, it presents how poets became politicized and how they conceived of the links between poetry and politics between 1918 and 1939. The main corpus is composed of L. Aragon, W. H. Auden and Bertolt Brecht but also extends to A. Breton, X. de Magallon, S. Spender, C. Day Lewis, T. S. Eliot, E. Pound, W. Lewis, G. Benn and even V. Mayakovski and R. Alberti, etc. The three main authors should be considered as centres to explore the European literary networks and describe reception effects. The project also encompasses various newspapers, magazines and literary journals (La N.R.f., Commune, Eurydice, The Criterion, The Left Review, Die neue Rundschau, Das Wort, etc.). The first part of this research is historical and establishes how poets and critics quarrelled about the notions of “propaganda” and “pure poetry” over the period. The second part is analytical and delves into how poets evoke contemporary history and how they use writing and publishing strategies to make their poems more effective in the public space. The third part is more theoretical and depicts how poets conceived their own historicity, how they positioned themselves with respect to the poetry of the past, to contemporary modernist theories of artistic autonomy and to the political programmes of the Avant-Garde

Full textThe topic of my dissertation talks about the literal relations between France and Persia during the era of Qâjâr kingdom. This dissertation comprises three parts. The first part studies the political relations and their historical evaluation, particularly a the time of these political relations resuming at the time of Fath Ali Châh Qâjâr and the Napoléon Bonaparte. Later on, they developed under the influence of missionary schools, sending many students to France and the establishing of schools like Dar-l Fonun (Polytechnic) and Dar-ot Tardjomeh (school of translation) by the Iranians. The second part considers the general development of Persian literature under the influence of the European book's translation into Farsi. Tending towards greater simplicity of the prose literature, sociopolitical Persian literature was born around the second half of the nineteenth century by some writers under the names of : Maragheï, Abdorrahim Najjar Tabrizi, Ali Akbar Dehkhoda, Akhond Zadeh, Seyyed Achrafaddin Qazvini (Guilani), etc. The third part is devoted to Buddhist compilation Yeki o Yeki naboud (Once upon a time), written by Djamalzadeh who, influenced by both Persian classical literature as well as two European writers (Gobineau and Morier), opened a new chapter to the Al qésséh Persian millennium. This issue gave him further room to scrutinize socio-political themes and to cover questions being asked about the society. The dissertation is a contribution to the history of Iran, the history of literal relations with that of France, as well as the creative thoughts in terms of the reception of the foreign influence on the national literature in modern times

To do this, I study the corpus published by the structure, a bilingual short story collection and two novels translated from Brazilian: "t.", "Dame de Nuit" by Manoela Sawitzki and "L'odeur du siphon" by Lourenço Mutarelli. In an analysis of cultural transfer, as a starting language, I question the starting society and the unavoidable contemporary phenomena present in the texts published or being published by Tupi or not Tupi éditions, such as the normative society, state violence, religious obscurantism, necropolitics, with a view to understanding current Brazilian society. Guided by gender studies, this research questions the place occupied by women in the recent history of what I would call "the Tupi or not Tupi society", in other words, the recent history of resistance to the norms of a patriarchal, colonialist, neoliberal society, where freedom and democracy are still the draft of a draft

Full textThis work studies the ground shared by the work of the Marquis de Sade and a corpus of works by contemporary writers : Tony Duvert, Catherine Millet, Aldo Busi, Elfriede Jelinek, James Graham Ballard, Bret Easton Ellis, Don DeLillo and Nelly Arcan. Sade’s hypothesis of a combination of sexuality and economy finds echoes in contemporary literature. But the social, liberal and individualistic structure which such literature describes entails different reading protocols. From the elitist posture of Sadian libertines, which endangers the society’s foundations, to democratic leveling, which involves a new conformism, we can see a mutation of the intersubjective relations in progress. The authors of this corpus redefine the economy of passion and the economy of enjoyment by presenting us with characters subjected to the tyranny of consumerism. From the enumeration of sexual partners to a sexual production turned into economic production, our corpus highlights desire as a mode of analysis of new violence within society. The authors in our corpus may not use the same narrative strategies, but their respective ways of writing all contribute to defeating this deadly new Eros

Full textThis work is born of an awareness. Studies of literary critics on Oricellari gardens (Orti Oricellari) are of relative interest. Most often, the academy and the relations between its members are mentioned only superficially in the chapters or paragraphs of the books devoted to Machiavelli. For this reason, we have tried, with our thesis, to lay the foundations for a first global monograph. To this end, we have combined, in one single work, all the episodes that occurred in the garden of Via della Scala between 1502 and 1522. Our research includes a detailed study of the main philosophical, literary, historical and political themes discussed during the year. Assembly of Orti. For example, it is in the gardens "Oricellari" that the concept of modern politics was born as we hear it today, when Bernardo Rucellai, founder and initiator of the first literary meetings, publicly read his story of the invasion from Italy by France under Charles VIII: the first modern treaty of political history. Bernardo's work, De Bello Italico, is characteristic of his lucid analysis of the psychological motivations of the protagonists, their desires and their ambitions, in order to deduce the causes of their defeats. The keys to reading in Rucellai's analyzes were truly unprecedented at that time, but after all, politics was still considered practical and not metaphysical, and it was in Florence of the Medici that the concept of "modern balance of power politics "was theorized for the first time

Since then, this atypical author, doctor of medicine, has published about forty books in German and/or in Spanish (plays, historical/biographical novels, medical works). This first monograph aims at publicizing in France a work influenced by both the European and the Latin American cultural areas. The literary and political analysis revealed an underlying dialectical structure which constitutes the common denominator of that many-sided work.

Full text1820. « The Meditations. » « The Lake. » Who remembers what comes after ? Nonetheless, Lamartine has not only invented romantic lyricism, he has also actualized his poetic doctrine in the field apparently furthest apart from his green shady hills: in parliamentary politics. From 1834 to 1848, and then practically until his death, he built his destiny as an exceptionally talented multi-facetted writer. He became simultaneously and successively an orator at the Parliament, a historian, a journalist, a novelist. With one single mission: to invent on Earth one of his « imaginary Republics » which are evoked in political and poetical manifestos as soon as 1830. He is the founding father of modern democracy and he reminds us that the politics led by the governments is and always will be in debt towards poetry. In February 1848, did he spectacularly succeed in combining the poem with the political tribune ? Or did he, on the contrary, fail to take the turn of disenchantment, surpassed by the new generation, Flaubert and Baudelaire ? There is no doubt that the modern poet has not always managed to avoid failure. Sometimes lyrical – « successful », as would Stendhal would have put it (using the English word) – but also sometimes hated, mocked, and finally fallen from both poetry and power, Lamartine is the democratic poet « par excellence ». He gave a revolutionary sovereignty to public opinion, to popular gossip, to street rumour, to the voices of the people. He consecrated them with a language sensitive and rebellious, inventing mass lyricism: as lyric as his ancient and glorious muses, at the risk of losing poetry

Full textFrom 1865 to 1872 , as a young, ambitious and outraged man who came to Paris from Aix, Emile Zola goes through the basics of journalism and prepares for war thanks to the contacts he established at the publishing house Hachette with writers, critics and journalists. He becomes a contributor to anti-establishment newspapers such as L'évènement illustré, but above all, La Tribune, Le Rappel, La Cloche. He adopts and echoes in his articles the opposition movement against the Second Empire which, with its liberalization in 1868, comes to its end. Similarly, with the advent of the Third Republic, he reflects, as a Parliament columnist in Bordeaux then in Versailles, the political practices and debates of this transition period during which democracy is hard to set up. His columns show a wide range of themes from political gossip to contemplative stroll. They especially display an extensive set of literary forms ( dialogues, speeches, letters ) and styles ( from pamphlet to satire ) we analyse in the main part of our study. The third part of the thesis tries to show through references to four novels: La Curée, Nana, La Conquête de Plassans, Son Excellence Eugène Rougon and some incursions in other works from the Rougon-Macquart saga, how the young journalist tested and worked patterns, situations and characters out, that will be more or less unconsciously reinvested develloped and adapted by Zola as a novelist. In short, the press will have been ( above all? ) a kind of processing room for Zola's major work too. It gave this major work its lively aspect
