Studniarek, Amanda. "De silence en silence : auscultation interdisciplinaire du silence pour une auscultation du silence en cinéma." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012TOU20090.
Full textSilence is at the heart of all the musical, literary, movie weaves. This study is based on its importance. Putting first its inherent complexity into perspective enables us to search for its place and expression in the literary field, and then in the musical field to finally reach the movie field that has always been the driving force behind this research. By studying one of the movies by David Lynch, Wim Wenders, John Huston and Milos Forman in much greater depth, silence is to be explored in its connection with voice, dialogues, music, body, movement, film editing, around issues of memory and oblivion, imagination, wandering, incommunicability, break, privacy, introversion or extraversion, protection or communion , mask, imprisonment, death, oppression or freedom ... These case studies allow us to observe silence in its polymorphism, its changing values, dualities or the stratification of its forms

Full textCe mémoire s'intéresse à la manière dont les différents moyens silencieux d'expression utilisés dans The Silent Woman, The English Patient et In the Skin of a Lion élargissent l'étendue des connaissances accessibles aux lecteurs par l'intermédiaire de la narration. Cette étude examine l'emploi volontaire de formes silencieuses de communication dans la production du récit chez Michael Ondaatje et Janet Malcolm. Les textes étudiés reposent sur des personnages et des narrateurs silencieux qui utilisent des moyens de communication non verbaux pour construire des histoires–individuelles comme collectives–au sein du récit. En outre, ces textes autoréférentiels livrent des commentaires sur la manière dont les lecteurs comprennent les silences que contient mais aussi qu'exprime le texte, afin de les instruire des différentes stratégies de réception associées aux techniques narratives du silence. Ondaatje et Malcolm révèlent les lacunes du langage verbal qui obscurcissent les histoires racontées. Les formes silencieuses d'expression dépassent ces mêmes lacunes, inscrivant le récit en dehors du langage et déplaçant ainsi les limites des histoires écrites.

Full textPart two. How can one tell of silence with words? How can silence be what makes not only the style and themes of a fiction, but the whole fiction, resonate, vibrate? In the fiction of Marguerite Duras, more specifically in Aurelia Steiner (Melbourne) and L'amour, the obsession of silence is what modulates the representation of time and space, be it corporal, geographical or domestic, and what transforms reality in an attempt to open the heart of things, beings and time on the infinite, the invisible, the sacred.

Full textJunot Diaz employs a variety of postmodernist literary strategies in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, such as conflating (and confusing) the role (and identity) of author and narrator, creating a parallel fictional (and semi-fictional) subtext in the form of numerous, often detailed footnotes, and incorporating a hybrid mixture of discourses throughout a self-referential, apparently self-undermining narrative. Yet by means of his persistent satirical tone, pervasive irony, occasional explicit commentary, and thematic inferences, Diaz simultaneously challenges the core tenets of postmodernist-poststructuralist theory. Diaz's creative concerns interrogate the notion of constructed histories, reestablish distinctions within binaries, and defy the poststructuralist prohibition against grand narratives, while contesting the postmodernist tendency toward moral and cultural relativism. Diaz appears to be consciously inviting a poststructuralist reading, even as he simultaneously undermines any possibility for such a theoretical analysis ever succeeding in fully coming to terms with his work. In effect, Diaz redirects the lens of the postmodernist-poststructuralist perspective back on itself, questioning its basic assumptions. Diaz creates a unique, innovative literary language in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, borrowing tropes from Dominican folklore and popular superstition, mixing in idioms and memes from sci-fi, horror, fantasy, Japanese animes and North American movies, television serials, comic books, hip-hop, and urban diction, in order to tell a story that reawakens repressed memories of historical trauma, and enhances awareness of egregious contemporary injustice. Diaz focuses on the devastating trajectory of the imperialist enterprise in the Western hemisphere since 1492, highlighting the rapacious ideology that ruthlessly engenders this ongoing project of exploitation, domination, and oppression. In setting private aggrandizement above collective wellbeing, the imperial mentality causes incalculable, completely unnecessary suffering, beginning with genocide against the native population, and extending into the extreme social disparities of the neoliberal present; the predatory practices of this avaricious agenda have become so destructive that they now threaten the very survival of the human species. Ruthless greed is the curse that afflicts us; the only possible counter spell that can save us will be a courageous return to instinctive solidarity, with timely recourse to the healing power of human love.

Full textThis thesis proposes a comparative study of the poetics of silence from the twelfth to the twentieth century in a series of works that relate image and text, arranged in three series: gestures, maps and colors. The first considers the representation of the ineffability of the divine language in Hildegard von Bingen, and the variations of the harpocratic gesture in Baroque emblems. The second brings together the excessive descriptions of Georges Perec and Jorge Luis Borges with saturated Renaissance charts, and contrasts them with an empty map of Lewis Carroll and a useless plan of Juan Luis Martínez. In the last series, Yves Klein’s monochromes are studied in dialogue with Lawrence Sterne’s white, black and marbled pages, and Blanco by Octavio Paz. The comparative method aims to illuminate the similarities and mark the modulations of this poetics of silence in different cultural contexts.
