Full textAn interdisciplinary and transcultural motif, the study of families has taken root in the genre of the novel. In Caribbean literature, there are but a few studies about the family pattern, despite the fact that the Caribbean area already constitutes a complex geographical family, painfully marked by colonization, slavery and the plantation system. This dissertation aims to study the various meanings of the representation of family, biological but also, figuratively, adoptive family, chosen family, spiritual family, etc. – in a trilingual corpus of texts made of four Caribbean fictional novels from the XXth and XXIst centuries: William Faulkner’s Sartoris, Cien años de soledad by Gabriel García Márquez, Patrick Chamoiseau’s Texaco and La eternidad del instante by Zoé Valdés. Within these four novels, the representation of the biological family soon reveals its dysfunctional dimension: rejected by the characters, fragilized by events, the family seems condemned to being dismembered. The failure allows for other relationships to form; far from being opposed to the way the original family was outlined, these relationships offer other ways to think about how to make a family. The passage from one family to the other allows to reflect upon, on the one hand, the question of familial identity on the part of the characters and, on the other, the relationship that Caribbean fiction writers have with the literary genealogy to which they wish to identify themselves

Full textFemale portraits are abundant in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s fiction, short stories and novels alike. The influence of the women evolving in his private sphere may be at the origin of his ambiguous feminist vision, as his allegiance was divided between his Puritan inheritance (both the Mannings and the Hawthornes) on the one hand, and, on the other, the emerging feminist convictions of his in-laws (the Peabodys). Hawthorne’s female portraits are thus characterized by a tendency to binarism as they pit an essentialist view of women against a differentialist one. This binarist perspective reflects the narrow-mindedness of the patriarcal system which the male heroes try to defend and maintain. Deleuze and Guatarri’s concepts of “minor literature” and “becoming-woman” will help us understand how the woman-image of the Puritans is a minored woman in the realm both of the social order and the symbolic order. Hawthorne’s feminist voice is an equivocal one as his text is undergoing a subterranean process of “becoming-woman.”

It is argued that the outcomes depicted can be seen as increasingly provocative and extreme and that the main conflict and ending of The Awakening is a development and combination of the conflicts and resolutions in the three short stories.

Full textMy textual analysis of the portrait of the other seeks to renew a reflection on otherness and push further to the notion of estrangement which inscribes itself in the fictions of Marguerite Duras and Henry Bauchau. These writers set the example of a new relationship between the world and fiction writing, through the asian philosophies and poetics (from China, Japan and Vietnam) which made a deep impression on Duras and Bauchau and their fictions. The far East began to open up literary frontiers in the West. My reading of L'Amour (Duras, 1971) and Œdipe sur la route (Bauchau, 1990) will seek to show the links between strongly cross-cultural novels and Taoi͏̈sm and Buddhism. Finally, these intertextualities can be seen in the light of recent deconstruction theory (Derrida, Nancy)

Full textEste trabalho pretende examinar como Machado de Assis conseguiu, através da escrita do romance Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, problematizar não apenas este gênero literário, como também o discurso autobiográfico e a própria ficção. Nosso objetivo, portanto, foi analisar o livro dentro do livro, aquele escrito por Brás Cubas, e demonstrar que, através da criação desse artifício, o autor trouxe ao leitor uma discussão relevante sem, no entanto, apresentá-la com ares de tese. Em um primeiro momento, estudamos fundamentalmente os conceitos de autobiografia, romance autobiográfico, memórias e ficção, fundamentando-nos principalmente na teorização desenvolvida por Philippe Lejeune. Apresentamos também um breve panorama histórico do assunto, utilizando para isso, essencialmente, um ensaio de Luiz Costa Lima acerca das origens e dos diversos estágios por que passou o gênero autobiográfico. Em seguida, exploramos detalhadamente as noções de retrato e de auto-retrato, tanto na pintura como na literatura, ora por um viés histórico, ora por um viés conceitual, convocando historiadores da arte, filósofos e críticos literários, na tentativa de chegar a uma compreensão multidisciplinar do assunto. Finalmente, dedicamo-nos ao estudo das Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, retomando os conceitos anteriormente examinados e buscando exemplos no texto que aproximem o livro escrito pelo defunto autor tanto da autobiografia quanto do auto-retrato
This work intends to examine how Machado de Assis achieved, through the writing of the novel Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, the discussion of not only this literary genre, but also the autobiographical discourse and fiction in itself. Therefore, our objective was to analyze the book inside the book, the one written by Brás Cubas, and demonstrate that, through the creation of this artifice, the writer has brought to the reader a relevant discussion without, however, presenting that like a thesis. At first, we study mainly the concepts of autobiography, autobiographical novel, memoirs and fiction, using fundamentally the theories developed by Philippe Lejeune. We also introduce a brief historical panorama of the subject, using for that, essentially, an essay by Luiz Costa Lima concerning the origins and the different stages that the autobiographical genre has passed through. In sequence, we explore in detail the notions of portrait and self-portrait, in painting and in literature, through both a historical and a conceptual angle, gathering art historians, philosophers and literary critics, in the pursue of a multidisciplinary comprehension of the subject. Finally, we dedicate ourselves to the study of Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, resuming the previously examined concepts, and searching for examples in the text that approximate the book written by the dead author both to the autobiography and to the self-portrait
Puliero, Catherine. "Nanni Moretti entre autobiographie, réalité et fiction." Thesis, Paris 3, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020PA030004.
Full textAt a time when the Italian cinema seems to be struggling to renew itself, Moretti emerges as a director-actor. He imposes on the public his silhouette, his face, his self-centeredness, a certain self-image tinged with a touch of irony. Since his beginnings, he talks about himself or about his generation and the previous ones, through the characters he plays on screen. Reviewing his entire production, we identify the existence of an interaction between autobiography, reality and fiction. This thesis starts a chronological and thematic study of the "Moretian" work based on four main key elements. The first one deals with autobiography as a source of inspiration and questions how the director structures his films between autobiography and self-portrait. It also reveals how he converts his life experiences, objects or places into autobiographical traces. The second key element demonstrates how the representation of reality is at the very source of his creations with the participation of his relatives or by using written or visual materials. The third key element further explores the creative mechanisms of his work. It especially studies the insertion of film quotes or the shooting of a film within the film in his fictions. A detailed study of Mia madre will confirm the filmmaker's use of autobiography, reality and fiction in this narrative. The fourth key element reveals how fiction by becoming reality makes Moretti a visionary artist

Full textHenry James was one of the most renowned writers at the turn of the nineteenth into the twentieth century and is still known for his vast number of literary works and studies about the art of fiction. In his prefaces and critical essays, James discussed his own method of writing fiction, with a special focus on point of view and on issues related to the reception of his fictional work. In this sense, James also considered the importance of the role of the reader to the point of claiming in one of his prefaces: ―attentive reading, I avow, is what, at every point just like here, I completely invoke and hope for‖ (JAMES, 2009, p. 15). This dissertation discusses the construction of the fictional reader in two of James novels: The Portrait of a Lady (1886) and The Wings of the Dove (1902). Written twenty years apart from each other, these novels have meaningful similarities in their themes. The aim is to analyze how differences in the manipulation of point of view have implications to the rhetorical configuration of different readers in the two novels. In The Portrait of a Lady, James basically uses one single center of consciousness to narrate the story and constructs a reader that is gradually more participative and critical. In The Wings of the Dove, on the other hand, James opts for a more impersonal mode of presentation of the story, so the narrative is developed through several centers of consciousness. As a consequence, the configured reader is critical and inferential throughout the whole narrative because the gaps intentionally built by the writer have to be constantly filled. In short, our discussion shows that, along his career, Henry James projected readers that should be more and more critical.
Henry James é um dos escritores mais renomados da virada do século XIX para o século XX, conhecido por sua vasta produção literária e seus estudos sobre a arte da ficção. Em seus prefácios e ensaios de crítica literária, James discutiu o seu próprio método de escrita de ficção, com especial enfoque no foco narrativo, assim como questões relacionadas à recepção de sua obra ficcional. Assim, James também considerou a importância do papel do leitor: ―leitura atenta, confesso a propósito, é o que eu em cada ponto, como aqui, absolutamente invoco e espero‖ (JAMES, 1998, p. 19), exigia James em um de seus prefácios. Nesse sentido, neste trabalho discutimos a construção do leitor ficcional em dois de seus romances: The Portrait of a Lady (1886) e The Wings of the Dove (1902). Esses romances apresentam semelhanças temáticas significativas, apesar de terem sido escritos em um intervalo de quase vinte anos. Nosso objetivo é analisar como diferenças na elaboração do foco narrativo têm implicações para a configuração retórica de diferentes leitores. Em The Portrait of a Lady, James faz uso de basicamente um único centro de consciência para narrar a história e constrói um leitor gradualmente mais participativo e crítico. Já em The Wings of the Dove, James opta por um modo mais impessoal de apresentação da história, no qual a narrativa é desenvolvida por meio de diversos centros de consciência. Consequentemente, o leitor configurado é crítico e inferencial ao longo de toda a narrativa, pois é necessário que vazios intencionalmente deixados pelo escritor sejam preenchidos constantemente. Assim, nosso trabalho mostra que Henry James projetava leitores cada vez mais críticos na medida em que sua carreira avançava.

"Portrait des "professionals" en tant que narrateurs dans la fiction courte victorienne et édouardienne : les discours de pouvoir des médecins, des hommes d’église et des hommes de loi dans les nouvelles de Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Wilkie Collins et Arthur Conan Doyle." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015BOR30044/document.
Full textMembers of the middle class, particularly clergymen, doctors, and lawyers occupy a central place in Victorian literature, both as narrators and characters. However, it seems that this prominent place fosters questioning as much as empowerment. This paradoxical position seems to stem from the recurrent appearance of members of the professions in texts within which the principles of truth and meaning are undermined. Therefore, we will show how members of the professions, both as narrators and characters, put forward discursive strategies which allow them to manipulate the notion of truth and to destabilize meaning. In order to do so, we will study predominantly short stories, as this genre was favoured by Victorian writers as the locus of narrative and literary experimentation. Besides, this genre was widely read by Victorian audiences and can be seen as a privileged media for authors to express their doubts and commentaries on contemporary society. We have chosen to study the works of three authors in particular, who played a vital role in the bringing of the middle classes on the forefront of Victorian literary representation. Indeed, we will focus on Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, the son of a clergyman and a man fascinated by the arcana of theology, Arthur Conan Doyle, a doctor himself, before he became a writer and William Wilkie Collins, who had a passion for science and the transformations its growing influence imposed on Victorian society. What is more, these three writers' active role in the establishment of the most popular Victorian periodicals attests to their vast contribution to the development of Victorian values

Full textThis theoretical and practical research proposes to investigate the artistic creation process of photographic self-portraits. It analyzes the possibilities of identity reconfigurations, involved in this process, resulting in the series (Re)Configurações do eu [(Re)Configurations of me], produced from two different types of images: photos 3x4 of documents and fictional and dramatized photographs in domestic environment. The series is composed of works created from these contaminated photographs by pictorial means (encaustic painting) and digital manipulations (overlaps and juxtapositions of images in digital laboratory), printed on matte canvas. The works present the hidden body with other people's clothing and veils, establishing direct relationship with the camera that registers their "poses/actions". They also present space-temporal compositions overlapped, contained in each layer of the images. Through these procedures, the self-portrait s subgenre and the subjects identity are problematized, showing not an artist's identity seen as "mesmidade" but (re)configurations of me through hidings and possibilities of multiplications identity, produced in the images. Like this, from the documents photographs, that indicate a standardized "me", the work reach the production of many dramatized mes who are creations or fictions.
A presente pesquisa de mestrado tem como proposta investigar, de modo teórico-prático, o processo artístico de criação de autorretratos fotográficos, analisando as possibilidades de reconfigurações identitárias nele envolvidas. Resultou na série (Re)Configurações do eu , produzida a partir de dois tipos de imagens diferentes: fotografias 3x4 de documentos e fotografias ficcionais e encenadas em ambiente doméstico. É composta por trabalhos criados a partir dessas fotografias contaminadas por meios pictóricos (técnica de pintura-encáustica) e manipulações digitais (sobreposição e justaposição de imagens em laboratório digital), impressas em lona fosca. A série evidencia o corpo encoberto com vestimentas de outros indivíduos que não a autora/artista e véus, estabelecendo relação direta com a câmera fotográfica que registra suas poses/ações . Também apresenta variados agenciamentos espaço-temporais sobrepostos, contidos em cada camada das imagens. Através desses procedimentos, o subgênero do autorretrato e as questões identitárias do sujeito contemporâneo são problematizados, evidenciando-se, assim, não uma identidade do artista, encarada como mesmidade , mas (re)configurações do eu através de ocultações e possibilidades de multiplicações identitárias, produzidas nas imagens. Dessa forma, parte-se de fotografias de documentos, as quais presumem um eu padronizado, para atingir a produção de múltiplos eus encenados, que são criações ou ficções.

Full textDrawing from the photographic self-portraits of Vivian Maier (1926-2009) and Francesca Woodman (1958-1981), this thesis argues that feminine figuration conveys an art of disappearing. Establishing that this art is, to a certain extent, at work across the iconography of the feminine, we are showing that it was brought to light within a specific context: the emancipation of women since the end of the 18th century, the invention of photography in the 19th century and the contemporary ecological crisis. Indeed, a poetic ecology emerges through the works of Vivian Maier and Francesca Woodman in particular, and the feminine photographic self-portrait as a whole, determined by the photographic technique and modern changes in women’s lives, where the destiny of feminine figuration in art history converges with the possible destiny of our species. From these self-portraits, this thesis offers to draw a new way of inhabiting the world in this historic moment of transition with regard to gender and nature

Full textAgnès Varda has left visible imprints of her subjectivity in her filmography developed over the last six decades. The objective of this doctoral thesis is to consider her entire cinematograghic work scrutinizing these subjective imprints and, through the filmmaker’s voice on off commentaries, linking them to a manifestation of authorship and the desire to exemplify that the world is represented through a singular point of view. Attention is called to the diverse forms of self-representation in the projection of the filmmaker through diverse characters as well as her physical presence in images. Analizing these elements, this text considers Varda’s contribution to modern cinematography to the extent that, through great creative freedom, she has invented new forms which question generic conventions, amongst them the distinction between documentary and fiction.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to examine the stocks of young adult and children’s literature collections with LGBTQ content made available in Québec public libraries to determine whether the population is sufficiently provided for, regardless of the location and size of the city or town where they live. To carry out this research project, we used the checklist evaluation method. Collections from a sample of 41 municipal public libraries were thus examined, using a checklist of 38 young adult and children’s literature titles with LGBTQ content, published from 2003 to 2018. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis. As with previous studies of Canadian and American public library collections, this research has shown that the level of presence of young adult and children’s literature with LGBTQ content varies considerably in all libraries, and that the size of populations, the size of collections and the budgets for printed books can’t explain all the fluctuations. Data analysis also revealed that novels with LGBTQ content for teenagers were much more likely to be held in collections than early readers’ novels and children’s picture books. The results have also shown that male homosexuality as a theme is well represented in the collections, while same sex parenthood is significantly underrepresented. However, according to the data, the picture books for children on the topic of same-sex parenthood are exactly the type of material which was the most borrowed in the sampled libraries at the time of the study. This exploratory study alone does not entirely support the conclusion that collections of young adult and children’s literature with LGBTQ content in Québec public libraries are sufficient and appropriate. However, comparing results from this research to those from other researches suggests that, overall, Quebec libraries seem to be doing well in this regard.
