Full textThis thesis has the purpose to analyze the images of the night and its meanings in the novels of the 18th century, from 1730-1740, in the ambit of three literatures: the English, the French and the Italian literature. Two opposite conceptions are compared: the first, to exorcise the night, is typical in the first half of the century and it is represented mainly by libertine novels. The second shows a valorisation of the night that can be found above all in the gothic novels that belong to the second part of the century. The final objective of the following research is to find an explanation to the rejection of the night by some authors and therefore to retrieve the causes of the change of vision. Since the night impedes sight, it has been considered a negation of space; according to the psychological and anthropological profile night would then be the main cause of the loss of orientation. Finally, according to an intellectual interpretation, it would be a sign of ignorance. The situation changes when the night starts to assume an active and necessary role in the learning process. In the literary fiction, the most important encounters happen at night. In the revival of the gothic cathedrals and the medieval castles, it is evident how the night takes possession of the space that is enriched with lights and shades.

Full textIt's known that the discontinuity which makes the originality of Jouve's poetic novels, it's alike the strangeness is what makes the particularity of Supervielle poetic novels. Hence, our research is going to be divided into three parts : 1- The manifestation of strangeness : our study focus on the components of Supervielle's universe, and to be more specific, is to show how the narration, description and the representation, all propose an impression of strangeness. 2- The strangeness of utterances : our attention is going to be directed especially to the utterances in Supervielle poetic novels. We, therefore, propose to invent and analyse the different process of strangeness: ambiguity, indecision, split and paradoxical alliance of incompatible elements. 3- The poetic of strangeness : our main objective is to see how the signifiant games (such as title, name, typographical organisation and figures of speech), imagination and its differents stages (rupture with principale of reality, and indecision of thefrontiers between the reality of fiction and the reality of dream), and the functional inversion (treatment of poetry), all create the poetic of strangeness which characterizes the novels of Supervielle

Full textThis work intends to show the argumentative value of george sand's novels. It is based on the vehemence of the narrative voice which supposes its argumentative vocation. It is also based on the fact that the ideologists of romanticism recognise an ideology of george sand, without relation to the naive and devaluing image generated by our author's novels. Our study concerns the period 1832-1842, when the author was training to write, according to her own testimony. In front of the failure of an analysis based on the narrative dynamics which would define the novel as an apologue, we tried to regard george sand's novels as parables. The parable supposes the transposition of a rule in the fictitious universe of the novel. Our search supposed a preliminary work, covered in the first chapters : identification of george sand's thought, independent of the various influences that were lent to her; analyze - starting from the theoretical works of the author and the classical poetics - of the criteria likely to account for the novel, apart from the only reference to narrative dynamics. We then started the analysis of the novels of 1832 to 1842, namely indiana, valentine, le secretaire intime, andre, leone leoni, simon, mauprat, le compagnon du tour de france, horace. The analysis of george sand's idealism allowed us to specific the place of reality in her works, always absent and existing only in the idealizing mirror which the novel proposes. A simplified reality is thus proposed, whose fantastic dimension makes it possible to indicate at the same time the dissatisfaction of the character and the possibility he has to progress. This progression appears in the descriptions, the iterative narrations, the dialogued scenes and the pictures which mark out george sand's novels. We thus showed a dynamics, distinct from narratives dynamic, which follows the vehement breath of the narrative voice and which is proposed as the initiative quest of the romantic man: permanent search for an obvious and remote truth which it must carry out in the society

Full textThis project pursues previous geographical research on literature. After critically analyzing the principal geographical studies of space in the novel, the author explores the possibility of establishing a new relationship between geography and the novel. Noting that geographers have used literature to increase the scope of their usual concerns, the author suggests a dialogical approach which considers the novel as a subject and not merely an object under analysis. This dialogical approach enables one to be in contact with that which only the novel can communicate about human space and place, and this without "exploiting" it. The analysis of some particular examples (Suskind, Dos Passos, Tournier and Gracq), opening a wide range of geographical considerations, draws the attention on different ways to conceive and write about human places

Full textIn the early nineteenth century, the revolutionary break has brought some renowal in literaty forms. A large novelistic production in search of new code testifies for it, among which personal novels - especially first names-titles, whose increase is significant -are emblematic for a textual expression of the rising of the subject in the revolutioned society. Emancipated sublet seemingly, yet basically objet, racket by a tragic symptomatology - melancholy, insanity, spleen, impotence -, figurative for some harm that troubles the century in its children for all those heroes, despite the diversity of their personal stories, narrative voices -and the narrative way -apply themselves to bypass the specious ways of history. Since present time is a dead end, since paradise is lost for good, romantic heroes are led to question the genius of memories. Yet, the patterns surveyed whether ancient whether renaissance ages - have bequeathed nothing but ruins to set against the triomphal way the new world - the new-world -is on where interests is an other name for ethics.

Full textAt the beginning of the 20th century, several critics suggested that the genre of the novel was in a state of crisis. A vigorous discussion about whether the genre of the novel as a whole had to be done away with erupted and produced contradicting frameworks. A textual analysis of two recent books by Swiss writer Tim Krohn, Quatemberkinder (1998) and Vrenelis Gartli (2004), reveals that the time of great epics in the form of the novel has not yet come to an end. Krohn's novels portray a new approach to counter what Lukacs called "transcendental homelessness." By combining oral Swiss legends with historical facts and magic realism Krohn is able to achieve a new wholeness the modem novel lacked. His novels portray a possible solution for overcoming the "crisis of the novel."

The oriental character - author, Narrator character or fictional character - is at the heart of this conflict: facing to himself and to the stranger, facing two types of women, one western and other oriental, facing two societies, one archaic and the other modern and, in the end facing with two spaces, one stranger and the other familiar

Full textThis work intends to be a presentation of the novels of philippe sollers, from the very first texts published in the late 1950's to the most recent books. Therefore, the thesis does not focus only on the "avant-garde" texts of the "tel quel" period - which have been studied already by critics like barthes, foucault, derrida, kristeva. It is an account of what has been the evolution of this work with its different stages: psychological novel in the wake of proust, "nouveau roman" with the influence of robbe-grillet, "avant-garde"and structuralisme, creation of a new poetical language in "paradis", and then return to a less surprising but as interesting form of autobiographical fiction. This means that this thesis casts some light - through sollers' case- on the recent evolution of french novel and on the history of "avant-garde" writing. But, moreover, it introduces -in a comprehensive way- one of the most interesting works of french contemporary literature
Ben-Messahel, Salhia. "Les romans de Tim Winton." Toulouse 2, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996TOU20047.
Full textTim winton is a twentieth century australian writer who writes from a post-colonial perspective. This thesis aims at analysing his fiction, it does put a stress on the use of landscape and shows how important writing from the home-place is relevant to the question of regionalism in australia. We have endeavoured to show that far from being politically and geographically divided into six states and one territory, australia is always talked of in terms of internal divisions as the various local governments remain on the margins of a federal government which is to be compared to a political centre. Our study of tim winton's fiction lays emphasis on region and place through the common idea of unity and multiplicity or separation. An analysis of the themes is conducted as an illustration for the relation between various sociological phenomena. As a matter of fact, the themes reflect the west australian isolation. Our second part which is devoted to the narrative techniques, uses the notion of space and shows how various aspects like topography, typography and time space, are in tune with the philosophy of existentialism which tries to define or redefine the position of man in a post-colonial country. The chapter which deals with symbolism reveals how important is aboriginality in a white australian writing which is highly spiritual and which insists on man belonging to the land

Full textThe subject of this thesis is the novels of john braine, a post-war novelist who became famous with a best-seller room at the top (1957). As braine was considered, with this first novel, as an angry young man, a study has been made on the literature and psychology of the new literary wave also called the "movement". Braine and the angry young men being strongly representative of their time, especially with the provincialism they brought into fashion, it was interesting to study that post-war period both socially and economically, and find out in which ways braine belonged or not to the movement. A comprehensive study of his work was conducted : the main themes, the style and psychology along with the evolution his work underwent, as the decreasing quality of his literary production can be noticed. His qualities : a keen sense of observation, psychological insight, vivid descriptions, a simple and direct style were pointed out, along with his flaws : a narrow perception of life, an increased sense of comfort and bourgeois spirit and a repetition of the same, once successful, literary figures. If his contribution to the english novel wasn't very important, however his work helped. .

Full textThe object of our dissertation has been a study of some african novels in the light of european existential philosophy. Our point of departure was that de six novels in question - l'aventure ambigue, la plaie, chaine, l'ecart, un piege sans fin, and le regard du roi - apprehend human reality in africa from an essentially metaphysical or existen- tial view point. To this effect, they lend themselves to a fruitful philosophical analysis capable of shedding new light on the human or metaphysical problems they explore. Existential philosophy together with its various models of analysis served as the theoretical and methodological frame- work of our study. As the essence of philosophical criticism of literary texts should be the union of literary analysis with philosophical reflexion, our study has been divided into two phases. The first phase is concerned with a phenomenological stu- dy of the forms and structures of the novels aimed at uncovering the existential mouvements and themes of which the said forms and structures are the embodiments. The second phase takes up the themes and mouvements so uncovered in order to submit them to a tho- rough and systematic philosophical analysis. Thus in keeping with an existential approach, in the first instance the adventure of the hero of each novel is viewed and analysed as the dialectics of the individual's freedom as it comes to grips with various si- tuations. In the second instance, other human and historical pro- blems raised by some of these texts are submitted to a sypnotic philosophical scrutiny. Finally, as each of these novels is infor- med by a certain point of view of its author on african human and historical reality, our study ends with a critical evaluation of each author's african thoughts as portrayed in his nove

Full textThe objective of the present research was to determine more precisely whether the first novel of writers of the lyric generation reflected the spirit particular to that generation, in what way and to what extent. In other words, the present work consisted of either confirming or invalidating Ricard's hypothesis by analysing it in the light of the literary works themselves.
Twenty-three novels were chosen according to the year of their publication (1967--1975) and the age of the authors at the time of publication (between 21 and 31 years).
An analysis of the works clearly confirmed Ricard's intuition: egocentricity and introspection, revolution and reinvention of literary style and narcissism were consistently present in the novels studied. These characteristics stem from a clear dominance of the autodiegetic narration style, the control of elements of time and space by the narrator, who is often personally identifiable with the author and finally from an upheaval of scriptural standards. The thematic of the style of writing as an outlet, a pleasure or an experimentation is ever present. The narrators themselves dominate the stage and their narcissistic personalities are evident throughout.

Full textThe present study attempts to explain this particular style by the author's desire to create a truly "total novel" as discussed in Pour Sganarelle, an essay that presents Romain Gary's approach to the art of writing. The greater part of this analysis is dedicated to the examination of Ajar's style and will expose the lexical, logical and syntactic characteristics of the four works, in an effort to establish how these literary devices not only contribute to the creation of a particular literary style, but bring forth what can be defined as an entirely new form of literary language.

Full textThe thesis studies the romanesque baptismal fonts in Sweden, focusing more specifically on their architectural shape, the set of themes that are displayed and their prospective symbolism, as well as the particularisms of these monuments towards the contributions of the other parts of the christian Occident. The thesis looks at the overall religious, political and social environment during the romanesque period of the fonts production, during which the move occurred from paganism to christian faith. There could be a hidden reference to norse mythology behind the traditional symbolism usually bound to the morphology and ornamentation of baptismal fonts. Themes and iconography selection could also be driven by politics
