Full textThe study of eco's fiction in relation to his theory shows that fiction writing is complementary to theory. This cimplementary underlines the act that there is a shift from a semiotic of signs to a semiotic of texte. The assertion leads to a more free and dynamic interpretation of texts, based on the principle of peirce's illimited semiosis. The problem is to limit excessive interpretation that follows from this observance : the intention of a text is to be taken as its own interpretative limit

Full textThis thesis has for object to investigate how Umberto Eco's work in the field of semiotic has influenced the style and form of the writing of his two novels : the Name of the Rose and the Foucault's Pendulum. In that framework, the manner in which these two novels, while meshed into theoretical studies, are insperd by popular literature such a action or detective novels, is being researched. Reading these novels in the light of the theories exposed in l'opera aperta is the opportunity to find, in shifting forms and undelined meanings, various interpretations that demonstrate how the author characters are submitted to the author facetious play. This approach through the theoretical writting, keeping into consideration his concept on "intertextuality" and on the reader, should give the opportunity to better understand Eco as a semiotician that became a novelist. The analysis seeks to preuse these principles in Eco's romantic work while seeking the origins of these different influences in the root-stock of occidental literature as well as in the works of Eco the theoritician. In this manner it has been attempted to show how the myths and symbols used as topics became elements of a true language through romantic characters and dialogues

Resumo: Esta dissertação lida com os conceitos de obra aberta, vanguarda e kitsch, nas obras teórico-críticas do semiólogo italiano Umberto Eco, com o objetivo de observar como o conceito de obra aberta esclarece e fundamenta uma dialética entre norma e invenção, em artes, e entre vanguarda e kistch, no cenário artístico contemporâneo. Na primeira parte, revisamos as bases epistemológicas de Eco, em particular os trabalhos de Luigi Pareyson e dos formalistas russos; em seguida, tratamos dos principais conceitos de sua teoria semiótica, a fim de compreender (a) o conceito de abertura, mediante a dicotomia entre mensagens estéticas e mensagens referenciais; (b) como a abertura promovida pelas mensagens estéticas desafiam os hábitos interpretativos impostos pelo uso repetitivo das mensagens referenciais; e (c) como é possível, a partir disso, construir uma ideologia contestadora. De posse de um modelo estrutural, buscamos compreender como se dá a dialética entre vanguarda e kitsch, analisando as suas respectivas implicações ideológicas face aos argumentos anteriores. Na segunda parte, propusemos uma discussão da poética do Pós-modernismo com base nas reflexões acima, evidenciando a sua possibilidade de difundir, mediante uma linguagem paródica, uma ideologia contestadora, na medida em que ela exibe um elevado grau de abertura. Finalizamos com um breve estudo dos romances de Eco, apontando para uma contradição entre o que ele postula como valor artístico no plano teórico e o que ele produz como ficcionista
Abstract: This dissertation deals with the concepts of open work, avant-garde and kitsch present in the theoretical and critical works of the Italian semiologist Umberto Eco, in order to observe how the concept of open work sheds light upon and founds a dialectic between norm and invention in the field of the arts, and between avant-garde and kitsch in the contemporary artistic scenery. In the first section, we review Eco¿s epistemological basis, in particular the works of Luigi Pareyson and the works of the Russian formalists; afterward, we deal with the main notions within Eco¿s semiotic theory, in order to grasp (a) the concept of openness, by means of the dichotomy between aesthetical messages and referential messages; (b) how the openness fostered by the aesthetical messages challenges the interpretative habits imposed by the repetitive use of the referential messages; and (c) how is it possible, since that, to build a controvert ideology. In possession of a structuralist model, we intend to comprehend how the dialectic between avant-garde and kitsch art sustain itself, by the analysis of their respective ideological implication in face of the preceding argumentation. In the second section of this dissertation, we propose a discussion of the poetics of postmodernism based on the ideas above, trying to evince its possibility to diffuse a controvert ideology by means of the parody, while it shows a high degree of openness. We finalize this dissertation with a short study of Eco¿s novels, when we point to a contradiction between what he postulates as the artistic value in the field of theory and what he actually produces as novel writer

Full textIn its perception of "beauty" contemporary society does not obey the rules of modern aesthetic protocol. This is because aesthetic contemporary sensibility freed itself from the standards of modern "taste". The study of so-called "bad taste" is a crucial step in every serious exploration of the present aesthetic world. In his essays on contemporary aesthetics, Eco has studied the main symbols of modern and contemporary "bad taste" : popular novels, comics, television programmes and the whole mass culture world. His reflection on the subject may be considered, on the whole, as a kind of phenomenology of kitsch. Contemporary age is characterised by the intrusion of capitalist and political interests into the relationship between beauty and society. Aesthetic pleasure is necessarily an "impure" pleasure, but this "impurity", according to Eco, does not mean the decadence of traditional aesthetic values, but the last step of their historical development

Full textWhen contextualising the dialectic confrontation of the semiotic theory with the literary creations of Umberto Eco, one can proceed to analyse the novel "The Island of the Day Befor" in its entirety, considered here as a homogenous corpus of reference over which one can make use of the interpretive techniques of the Italian academician. After a detailed examination of paratextuel elements of the work, further study has been made of the schematic model of the fabula states in the form of macro-propositions, which enables consecutive observation of connections between the structures of the fabula and the plot, as well as the fictional possible worlds of the characters and of the reader. This procedure of disambiguization consists of accomplishing these intertextual scenario inferences have proved that the narrative organisation of the novel is centred essentially on the motive of the journey of which the extremely complex and various forms resurface in several sections of the fabula. The reconsideration of the syntactic structure of the novel as a complex narrative programme composed of numerous narrative programmes (PN) inter-defined by their disposition of the actant process, allows one to support that the PN usage of the PN base (the “diary” and the “letters” of Roberto) correspond to the forms of the dynamic journey reused and reformulated in the PN usage of the PN annex (the “novel” and the “dreams” of Roberto), indicated as static forms of the journey. It can also be argued that the fabula ends through the fusion between the forms of the PN base and PN annex, expressed by the decision of Roberto to enter his own novel in the hope that he will join Lilia on the Island

Full textOur doctoral thesis intends to show, from a historical and analytical perspective, that all the theoretical and novelistic works by Umberto Eco can be read, in an originally organic and problematic way, through the theme of the interpretative dialectic between the text and the reader. The theme is present in all his different books. It leads us to establish a rich, critical, intertextual and intratextual dialogue and allows us to argue that it is possible, even significant, to consider the various aspects of his work in a coherent and complementary manner. In fact, our conviction is that, even though Eco’s semiotic books mainly focus on the fundamental rules and modalities of a fruitful interpretative cooperation between the reader and the text – in order to define a shared meaning of the latter –, his novels, far from being understood as a simple didactic illustration of his theoretical conceptualizations, should rather be regarded as forms of their successive enrichment. Indeed, through the allegorical representation of the dramatic consequences of hermeneutic practises pushed to the extreme – related to the interpretative relationship between the text and the reader –, Eco precisely uses narrative fiction to criticize the use of semiotics for the purposes of intellectual abstraction and to anchor it, on the contrary, in the concrete realm of history, thus highlighting its critical, social and cultural role
Boyer-Ader, Hélène. "L'influence de la Bible dans les romans d'Umberto Eco, Paulo Coelho et Eliette Abécassis." Pau, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PAUU1A01.
Full textDuring a comparative analysis of "The Name of the Rose" and "Foucault's Pendulum" of Eco, of "The Alchemist", "The Pilgrimage", "The River Piedra", "The Fifth Mountain" of Coelho and of The Qumran Trilogy of E. Abécassis, we endeavoured to define this influence. The identification of the biblical quotations in their work and their comparison thus made it possible to establish a kind of Bible at the same time universal, only made up of the most known Books like those of The Genesis, The Exodus, The Gospels and The Revelation, and personal, translating the particular interest of Coelho for The First Book of the Kings and for Luke whom he always quotes forward. On behalf of E. Abécassis, the significance of The Psalms and The Ecclesiastes rhythmes her hero's thoughts, and with regard to Eco, the reappropriation of The Coena Cypriani, of The Book of the Revelation and The Song of Salomon makes "The Name of the Rose" a palimpsest of the Bible. Each one has its own reception of the religion and its Writings : Coelho, the prodigal son, makes use of it of parabola to illustrate the many analogies of his philosophy, E. Abécassis is the most faithful as possible, while making of a novel's hero the reincarnation of the Messiah, and going until making him become God, whereas Eco, proclaiming perhaps too extremely his loss of the faith, diverts and perverts everything with his great irony. This thematic comparison between the three inspired writers, respectively by a universal New-Age, the flame of the judaïc faith and the irony of the man who doubts, sets off a new religion which skilfully mixes, in a kind of rehabilitation of the Human, the profane with the holy

Full textBeginning with the comment of a text written by Umberto Eco in the 60's, title « The myth of Superman », this thesis confront the idea of the existence of a difference between the heroism in myths and in novels, an idea that often leads to an evolutionary thesis that makes the novel the result of myth dégradation. From the cultural perspective this allows to reply that no, myth aren't dead ant from the clinical perspective to counteract the speach that makes the "hyperactive" child the sign of the discontents OF civilization instead of considering his symptom as those of all the neurotics subjects : meaning the expression of his discontent IN civilization

Full textThis study suggests analyzing the reception of the reading within varied cultural areas. My postulate is that the reception of the reading by an empirical, cooperative or abstract reader, is made at two levels: the one that define the theorists of the reception of the reading as Iser, Eco, Jauss or Picard, an individual level where the reader creates, completes the text and another level than I shall define in the thesis, where the reading is made according to a shared culture, to a common culture. Wolfang Iser, in L’Acte de lecture (1985), tries to discover what occurs in the authority reader at the time of her reading. For this theorist, the reader is also a creator of the text. He shows that the reader reacts to the requests registered in the text and which pre-direct his reception. For him, the text organizes and manages the reading. It leads the reader, guides him in his reading of the text. For Umberto Eco, in Lector in fabula (1989), the ideal reader answers standards planned by the author, he is the model reader who cooperates to complete the text, "tissue of white spaces, chinks to be filled". The reader so cooperates, by updating the text, this Model reader is capable of communicating with the author who slid for him indications in the text. Thanks to his encyclopaedic skill, the reader can build his reading. Hans-Robert Jauss, as for him, in his book Pour une esthétique de la réception, which combines texts written between 1972 and 1975, criticizes the literary history which still granted importance only for two authorities: the author and the text. Jauss claims the participation of the reader in the text. The reader thus takes up the text by updating it, by inserting it into a field referent defined by his personal, cultural, social references, his own lived. Michel Picard, theorist of the literary reading, in his book La lecture comme jeu (1986) is more particularly interested to the real, empirical reader, who reads with his body, the one that we shall meet mostly, during this study. The subject reader is in the heart of the researches for the theorists of the literary reading. He is the third authority of the set of three (author, text, reader). These theorists defined a first level of the reception, more personal, more individual, than a second level for which I try to bring to light and to theorize. This new aspect of the reception, which I shall define as communo-cultural, shows that the reader reacts to the cultural requests established in the text and brings his according to the history and the culture of his community, his people. Indeed, every word, every situation that reads the pupil reader, activates in him a cultural phenomenon of memory, stemming from the cultural heritage which he shares with his community, of his common, ancestral history, passed on by his family, his traditions, sound lived daily, his reality. The teaching according to me has to take into account this "hillside" of the pupil, this wealth and this second reading of the text to allow him to advance, to feel reassured sometimes and especially, to open in the reading of the literary texts. Annie Rouxel, Gérard Langlade and Marie-José Fourtanier propose the another notion of the literary reading “which is interested in the reconfiguration of the text by the real reader and presents plural modes of realization. There is thus a movement of the interest: from the virtual reader to the real reader, and, consequently, from the text of the work to the text of the reader ". This creative reader is the one as well as we find in our classes, the one who, in the contact of his culture, becomes the " subject common reader ". This reader exceeds the individual frame of the reception to share a common reading with those who have the same cultural heritage. The text becomes then as a cultural bridge between them. This " subject common reader " his history reacts to stimuli in touch with his past and: the interpretation that he makes actions(shares) of the characters, the situations, even the vocabulary used by the author is so shared by several other pupils readers. An exchange becomes established, unspoken cultural and historic are individually expressed and grouped together within the classes. It is only when we noticed that the observations of the pupils were identical to more than sixty percent than we elaborated this notion of “subject common reader”. It is about a cultural reader, about a multiple reader in the sense that he represents the reception of almost all his community. The reader who begins this journey within the fiction is persuaded to live in reality events which mark him. He cries, he laughs, he gets angry against a situation or against a character, against Atala, who goes away from her culture and wears a crucifix instead of the trick and dreams, against Chactas who travelled in Paris and behaved in European, giving up a part of himself. But this reading of the other one, this reading of one is influenced by the cultural heritage of the pupils, by the situation which they live at the time of the reading. The reader begins a “reading in shadow". What I call " reading in shadow ", is the reflection of the text, this other possible reading, hidden behind the book, the unfaithful reading to the text, but which arises from the text, a little as a shadow and its object. The reader imagines, weaves the another text everything around that of the author. We shall thus see during this analysis, that the pupils readers of diverse cultural spaces have a reception and a perception of texts, different in certain points of that of the others. It is a kind of identity lectoriale common to a culture. Atala of Chateaubriand is the work retained to demonstrate that the reading of a work is certainly plural because it addresses all the readers and can be perceived by various manners according to the "reader", but also community because it allows a cultural group to find known elements. It is the book which in spite of its success in the XIXth century, of its indisputable influence on the texts which succeeded it, is only few or not studied at the school. This reflection will use diverse studies, pupils-reader's numerous works as well as documents and investigate, as that led with 379 teachers of overseas, between 2007 and 2009. And we shall see, throughout this thesis, that the triad defined by the theorists: TEXT-AUTHOR-READER, would have to integrate a new authority: the PATRIMONIAL COMMUNITY, interacting with the subject-common
