Rutherford-Chapman, Claire. "Representations of child abuse in contemporary French teenage fiction". Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2016. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/31869/.

Texto completo
Resumen
Child abuse began to emerge as a central topic depicted in Western children’s and teenage realist fiction from around the 1990s, peaking in prevalence around the turn of the century and into the early years of the twenty-first century. In this thesis I explore the formal expression of abuse and trauma in a corpus of twenty French texts published between 1992 and 2008 for young-adolescent readers aged between 10 and 16 years. The project begins with a Propp-inspired structural model of child-abuse plot features and characters, which identifies a set cast of protagonists across the corpus which serve a specific functional role in the narrative. I then focus on the three main narratological categories of voice, mood and time, using Genette’s Discours du récit as a framework for a close reading of the abuse texts, whilst also drawing upon various trauma theorists, to explore how choice of narrator, focalizing character and temporal perspectives are manipulated to express different aspects of and perspectives on abuse and the psychological impact of abuse in particular. The final chapter is an analysis of the means used by both protagonists within the texts, and the authors of the texts, to communicate and express abuse and trauma on a personal level, to other characters, and to readers. By drawing upon structural and narratological studies as well as trauma theory in my analysis, I show that form and content are inextricably linked across the corpus. Indeed, the protagonists’ traumatic memories and painful experiences are expressed both on a diegetic level via the characters, and also reflected in the formal and structural features of the texts.

Resumen
This thesis examines the appearance, development and use of queer martyrs as they appear in French literature, mainly fiction, during the indicated period. It charts these in relation to two distinct manners of representation used for this leitmotiv. The first, exemplified in Flaubert, approaches it as a vehicle for reconciling divergent, and potentially conflicting philosophies. With the second, observable first in the work of the Belgian Naturalist Georges Eekhoud, the queer martyr becomes a means of asserting a homosexual identity, with chiefly political and pornographic applications.

Texto completo
Resumen
This thesis examines the concept of dwelling space in works written between 1957 and 1978. Our study emphasises a concern for the problematics of 'place'. By inscribing our reading within the parameters of the 'housing question' and economic modernisation in post-war France, we draw attention to the role ofthe habitable in transforming everyday private experience. The final chapter addresses four recent works (1985-1999) that draw together these concerns. Our readings proceed chronologically, beginning with Albert Camus's 'Jonas' (L 'Exil et Ie Royaume, 1957) in Chapter One. This is followed by Philippe Sollers's Le Parc (1961) and three works of Georges Perec: Les Choses (1965), Un Homme qui dort (1967) and La Vie mode d'emploi (1978). In the final chapter, our readings of Jean- Philippe Toussaint's La Salle de bain (1985), Jean Echenoz's ~ 'Occupation des sols (1988), Christian Oster's Mon GrandAppartement (1999), and Eric Chevillard's Au Pla/ond (1997) summarise our discussion ofdwelling space. Our study's theoretical framework is comprised oftwo lines ofinquiry. The first is grounded in the phenomenological tradition of Gaston Bachelard and Martin Heidegger; the second has recourse to the field ofHuman Geography, via the theoretical contributions ofHenri Lefebvre, David Harvey, and others. The originality ofthe thesis resides in its consideration of habitable space in the literature studied, as well as in the context ofthe socio-economic and demographic transformations ofthe Fourth and Fifth Republics. Our framework allows for an investigation of 'place' that reveals the spatial dynamics of an individual's role in his environment. As such, wee identify the ways in whic\1 everyday experience can be underpinned by sensations of familiarity or estrangement, at home and in the city. In the works studied, the travails experienced by individuals in their negotiation of personal space are seen to speak to the ambivalent status of modem dwelling.

Resumen
L'objet de cette thèse est de faire apparaître, à partir d'oeuvres representatives de la littérature romanesque québecoise des années 1960 à 1996, l'évolution du récit érotique en tant que genre utilisant une structure narrative particulière, ainsi que des procédes littéraires qui mettent en valeur l'ingéniosité de l'auteur et son pouvoir sur le lecteur. La problèmatique essentielle de la représentation des scènes, de leur évolution, des jeux de statut, ainsi que de l'autodérision est au centre de nos préoccupations. La conception du texte, sa construction aussi, modifient considérablement l'esthétique des textes érotiques et leur portée. En ce sens, l'analyse des oeuvres marquantes de la littérature érotique québecoise se veut à la fois une interrogation sur les rapports qu'entretient l'être humain avec les multiples représentations de sa sexualité, mais, au-delà de la simple représentation, elle vise surtout a dévoiler les divers procédés qui concourent a érotiser le récit au plus grand profit du lecteur, procédés qui témoignent d'une pratique complexe et diversifiée, ou l'érotisme s'inscrit dans un savoir-faire, un savoir écrire qui en constitue la littérarité. Les oeuvres convoquées à l'appui de la présente thèse sont les suivantes: Après ski de Philippe Blanchont, OEuvre de chair d'Yves Thériault, Neige noire d'Hubert Aquin, Jacinthe de Charlotte Boisjoli, ainsi que la célèbre saga de Lili Gulliver: L'Univers Gulliver.

Kershaw, Angela. "Gender, politics and fiction in 1930s France". Thesis, University of Nottingham, 1998. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/14337/.

Texto completo
Resumen
This study examines French political fiction of the 1930s, taking gender as its primary category of analysis. It considers texts by female novelists whose work has been largely excluded from critical attention, in order to bring their particular contribution to inter-war French literature to light. It integrates this analysis into a consideration of relevant and representative texts of the exclusively male canon of French political fiction dating from the 1930s, exploring points of contact and divergences to show how the work of the female authors relates to the wider context of French inter-war literary activity. Texts by eight writers are considered in detail, namely Madeleine Pelletier, Edith Thomas, Henriette Valet, Louise Weiss, Louis Aragon, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, André Malraux and Paul Nizan. The analysis of the female-authored novels informs the study of their male counterparts, whose texts also offer fertile ground for an analysis in terms of gender. The corpus is approached, in broad terms, through the themes of commitment, sexuality and the body. These themes permit an investigation of the gendering of politicization as it is manifested in 1930s literature.

Resumen
Stories of the Trojan War and its aftermath are the oldest – apart from those in the Bible – to be retold in medieval literature. Between 1165-1450, they catch the imagination of French-language writers, who create histories in and for that burgeoning vernacular. These writers make Troy a place of origins for peoples and places across Europe. One way in which writers locate origins at Troy is through the device of translation. Geoffrey of Monmouth, Benoît de Sainte-Maure and the writers of the prose Troie, the Histoire Ancienne and the Roman de Perceforest all claim to have translated old texts; for Benoît and the prose Troie writers, this text is a Latin copy of an eyewitness account of the Trojan War. The writers thus connect their locations with Troy retroactively, in both space and time. Within this set of highly successful stories, writers’ presentations of translation therefore have important consequences for understanding what is at stake in medieval French textual production. Taking Derrida’s Monolinguisme de l’Autre as my theoretical starting point, this thesis sheds new light on medieval writers’ concepts of translation, creation and origins by asking two questions: • To what extent is translation considered integral to creation and textual production in medieval French texts? • Why does the conceit of translation from a lost source seem to shape narratives even when this source is a fiction? All these writers produce texts in French, or translate from that language, but these texts were written in geographically distinct areas: the Roman de Troie comes from Northern France, the prose Troy traditions are copied mainly in Italy, John Gower wrote in London, Christine de Pizan was at court in Paris and the extant Perceforest manuscripts were produced in Burgundy. The Trojan material therefore inspires writers throughout this period all over Western Europe.

Resumen
This thesis examines representations of men and constructions of masculinity in eight female-authored French novels published between 1900 and 1913: Rachilde's La Jongleuse (1900), Marcelle Tinayre's La Maison du péché (1902), Colette Yver's Les Cervelines (1903), Gabrielle Réval's Le Ruban de Vénus (1906), Jeanne Marni's Pierre Tisserand (1907), Daniel Lesueur's Nietzschéenne (1908), Lucie Delarue-Mardrus's Douce moitié (1913) and Colette's L'Entrave (1913). It approaches the issues of men and masculinity by analysing male characters' relationships and interactions with female protagonists engaged in forms of rebellion against prevailing feminine norms. The study explores women's fiction produced in a period that has frequently been considered as one of significant upheaval or change in gender relations in French society. This era saw the emergence of increasingly prominent groups of women - feminists, New Women, female doctors and lawyers - whose lives and activities challenged bourgeois or liberal gender norms. According to many historical accounts, this era also saw a crisis of masculinity among French men. Rebellious, transgressive or 'new' women figure, in such accounts, as a grave threat to masculine supremacy, eliciting fears among men of a radical inversion of the gender order and the subjugation and/or feminization of the hitherto dominant male sex. Taking such cultural narratives as a backdrop for its investigation, this thesis seeks to map out the ways in which women writers of the period imagined the effects and implications of these kinds of female rebellion for men's lives and gender identities. Connecting the readings contained in this thesis is the proposition that, in these novels, rebellious female protagonists are called upon to endorse and uphold the desirability and necessity of masterful, authoritative masculinities as performed in public contexts and in heterosexual relationships. Rather than staging women's attack on the bases of male supremacy, the novels point to the intractable linkage of maleness and power and, crucially, to the ways in which even those female subjects who problematize conventional scripts of femininity are shaped to invest in ideals of dominant masculinity. Female protagonists' complicity in upholding powerful masculinities takes two main forms in the novels analysed in this study. It is manifest, first, in rescue and mentorship plots in which women assist and encourage struggling male characters to approximate to more heroic or masterful masculinities. Female competence and talent are, in these narratives, yoked to the cause of the male subject in a way that reinforces his claims to power and centrality. Second, the thesis identifies instances in which the closure of the narrative of female revolt emerges as the necessary condition for men's performance of powerful masculinities, particularly where these masculinities are performed through men's control of the female body in heterosexual relationships. In these cases, the female subject is, in various ways, enjoined to acquiesce in her subordination and to endorse masculine power.

Texto completo
Resumen
This thesis examines the notions of time and epoch through the works of three contemporary French authors: Christine Montalbetti, Hélène Lenoir and Emmanuelle Pireyre. The theoretical framework for this study draws upon literary criticism, time studies and cultural theory: it investigates in particular the ways in which literary fiction may respond to what has been called a ‘culture of speed' in capitalist economies of the twenty-first century. This culture of speed is traced back two major epochal shifts: the revolution in information technology, which has permitted the generating and sharing of information at exponentially higher speeds, and an increasing consciousness of the vast time cycles within which we might situate our own epoch or individual lives. This work considers the ways in which this collective and paradigmatic shift might be reflected in literary fiction. It examines the representation of new information technologies within these literary works, focusing in particular on the texts' representations of obsessive or compulsive uses of technology and the kinds of anxieties emerging as a result of the ubiquity of these devices. It further questions whether new aesthetic trends, what has been called a ‘post-internet aesthetic', may be emerging in literary fiction in light of some of these changes. Further investigation of the representation of diegetic time within these texts demonstrates that these literary works appear to resist the current time culture of speed and simultaneity, embracing instead the literary devices of repetition and digression while maintaining a dilatory pace. This study also considers the emergence of ‘short-termism' and insularity within these literary texts as reflecting a wider societal trend, especially in light of recent theoretical work on the vast timescales (for example those of the planet's climate cycles) that have become increasingly present in political and journalistic discourses.

Sugden, Rebecca Ann. "Conspiracy in Balzac and Sand's July Monarchy fiction". Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2019. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/289912.

Texto completo
Resumen
This thesis explores the representation of conspiracy in the literature of the July Monarchy (1830-1848) and its engagement with conspiracy thinking, with particular reference to the work of Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) and George Sand (1804-1876). In providing the first sustained scholarly exploration of conspiracy and cultural production in nineteenth-century France, it situates the novel within wider discourses on European political history in the years leading up to the upheaval of 1848. Through close readings of Balzac and Sand's common investment in conspiracist modes of explanation, this study makes the case for a new generic category, the novel of conspiracy, around which literary poetics, historical imagination and political fantasy come to coalesce. Chapter one proposes a re-evaluation of the dialectic between models of surface and depth reading in Balzac's Une ténébreuse affaire (1841), arguing that the conspiratorial landscape of this proto-detective novel belies Balzac's fraught relationship to the severed referentiality of his narrative. As illustration of a Balzacian poetics of conspiracy, Une ténébreuse affaire, it is suggested, points forward in literary history towards the Flaubertian aesthetic of platitude. Chapter two looks to the political criticisms Jacques Rancière makes of Sand's patrician benevolence to inform its reading of Le Compagnon du Tour de France (1840), which depicts workers' secret societies and the underground networks of Restoration liberalism. Accusations of misguided idealism, this thesis shows, align Rancière's critique and the literary-critical narrative informing Sand's twentieth-century aesthetic devaluation with the reproach that she herself levels at the Carbonarist conspirators of her novel. Chapter three, finally, turns to the alternative origin myth of 1789 that Sand elaborates in Consuelo-La Comtesse de Rudolstadt (1842-44). Her engagement with the founding text of the conspiracist tradition of explanation, it argues, provides the cornerstone for the interrogation of the tensions of a pre-Revolutionary Europe torn between Enlightenment and Illuminism. Framing the Balzacian and Sandian novel as emblematic of a wider discourse on the conspiratorial origins of 1789 has a two-fold advantage. On an immediate level, it nuances received critical ideas on these authors' relationships to history and literary genre (a realist Balzac incapable of looking back further than the Restoration whose demise he so lamented; an idealist Sand too caught up in a utopian future to envisage the historical past). In doing so, this study seeks to problematize the narrative of oppositionality behind the Balzac-Sand binary in terms of which the literary history of nineteenth-century France is habitually couched. Yet, more significantly, it also gestures towards the importance of the conspiratorial as a prism through which to approach the porosity of the very categories of 'literature' and 'history' in the nineteenth-century French context.

Resumen
This thesis interprets the language of the self in both editions of Jean Genet's five works of early prose fiction. Its appendices present the first list of the 65000 words of excisions and variants between the subscribers' (1943-48) and public editions (1949-53). Many critics have interpreted Genet's works in terms of his life, applying to them a reductive notion of the self. Subjectivity in this thesis is a broader concept which addresses the (self-) representation of narrators and characters. I apply close textual analysis to two types of passage (relating to gestures and language consciousness respectively) which represent subjectivity in non-specular language (where one thing does not clearly reflect or refer to another). I use the ubiquitous 'geste' as the guide-word for my analysis of gesture since its usage is similar in each of the texts considered. Gestures are of course mediated by language in Genet's texts but, surprisingly, are only partially represented in visual terms. Consequently, gestures do not serve to consolidate subjectivity and resist attribution to individual characters. It is rather in the interpretation of gestures that narrators and characters who both perform and interpret gestures can negotiate the assigning of meaning and the concomitant firming tip of subjectivity. Language consciousness is a textual speculation on the production and reception of a passage or text and each of Genet's texts demonstrates different interactions between such speculations and the representation of subjectivity. My emphasis on language consciousness helps to elucidate tile structure of the prose text (narrative frames, for example) and its relation to other genres (literary criticism and poetry, for example). I conclude that in Genet's texts innovative language represents (and sometimes fails to represent) plural subjectivity in complex ways. I argue that the interdependence of these three aspects (language, representation and subjectivity) presents a new paradigm for understanding Genet's texts. Furthermore, I outline in my conclusions how it is possible to apply a comparative analysis of these aspects to other works such as Martin Heidegger's Zur Seiqfrage (1955).

Resumen
This thesis attempts to analyse and characterise the mode rétro, the remarkable renewal of interest in the German Occupation of France, which is coloured by an extensive re-evaluation of the period's significance. An introduction places this fashion in its literary, social and historical context, revealing how, from 1940 to 1969, a collective and predominantly Gaullist 'myth' of the Resistance became established, with the result that the national response to invasion was accepted to be one of wide-spread heroism and revolt. Part I studies the reaction to such résistancialisme, showing how this orthodox interpretation of events was undermined and, for many, discredited, and offering explanations of the timing and direction of the new view. Part II focuses on the fiction, memoirs, autobiographies and biographies of the younger authors, those who have no direct adult experience of the années noires. It is suggested that their obvious obsession with absent parent-figures reflects their awareness that the past has been misrepresented and their heritage rendered problematic. Their sole means of escape from this predicament, their only source of emotional relief is seen to lie in the creation of a personal account of the early 1940s running contrary to the prevalent orthodoxy, the fabrication of a 'counter-myth'. It is thus the notion of myth which links the various sections of the survey, and so gives the thesis its overall unity.

Rose, Kathryn Germaine. "Digesting Modernism: Representations of Food and Incorporation in Nineteenth and Twentieth-Century French Fiction". Thesis, Harvard University, 2013. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:11175.

Texto completo
Resumen
This dissertation examines the link between food and writing about food in French modernist texts in nineteenth and twentieth-century French novels, tracing the central role of food in realist fiction as an encoder of bourgeois discourse to its persisting, yet altered, role in modernist texts. While the propagation of gastronomy and culinary discourse through realist texts presupposes and relies on the seamless conversion of diners into readers and the meal into text, this dissertation has at its root the exploration of the narrative potential inherent in the creation of space in conspicuous "second-order" consumption, leaving the diner and the reader, and the meal and the text, side-by-side, in play. I reflect on how the deliberate alignment and co-staging of the meal and the word (or the diner and the reader), rather than their conflation and collapse, throws into relief not only the act of incorporating the meal, but also the extradiegetic moment of incorporating the text, or a (self-)consciousness of the meal as text. I explore how this shift in the staging of food and eating is not only a hallmark of the play that characterizes modernist novels, which inscribe self-conscious moments of their own creation and consumption within the narrative itself, but also a key element in understanding the shifts from realism to modernism, as the meal remains central to both while at the same time crystallizing key differences in how narratives are crafted in each.

Resumen
The Victorian need to compartmentalise and define women’s sexuality in terms of opposing binaries was paralleled by the vague idea that the period’s French and British literatures were at odds with one another. Elucidating the deep connections between, and common concerns shared by, French Naturalist and Realist and British New Woman authors, this thesis shatters the dichotomies that attempted to structure and define women’s sexuality in the mid- to late- nineteenth century. The thesis focusses on novels and short stories by French authors Émile Zola and Guy de Maupassant, and New Woman authors Sarah Grand, Ménie Muriel Dowie and Vernon Lee. In a time during which the feminist movement was gaining momentum, and female sexuality was placed at the heart of a range of discourses, and scrutinised from a number of different angles – not only in literature, but in medicine, psychology, sexology, criminology – the consideration of the female sexual self and her subjectivity brings together the work of authors whose oeuvres have been largely considered as antithetical. Previous work has indeed shown the centrality of female sexuality to both literatures, yet never compared them. This thesis rediscovers the significance of both literatures’ investment in a discourse revolving around female sexuality by contrasting the French male authors with the British female writers, and uncovering unexpected parallels in their claims about the contemporary situation of women. Simone de Beauvoir’s Le Deuxième Sexe’s feminist philosophy frames the thesis’s comparative analysis, questioning and re-examining these authors’ representations of female sexuality. The ideas of sensuality and rationality, motherhood, reproduction, marriage, and prostitution thus become recurring concerns throughout it. The thesis’s first chapter considers the female as sexual subject and/or object of the male gaze, in a range of New Woman and French literature. The second and third chapters are organised around the themes of marriage and prostitution, and the final chapter considers issues of female sexuality within the fantastic short story.

Resumen
This thesis looks at the conception and representation of military men in British and French literature 1740-1789 as the military man moved from non-national ‘archetype’ (warrior, knight, noble) toward nationalised professional (officer, soldier, sailor). The dates that frame the corpus contain the last two European wars before the French Revolution: the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-48) and the Seven Years War (1756-1763). In literature, the ancient concepts of heroism and glory had to contend with newer models of merit and virtue. Drawn together by warfare, this transformation also united British and French culture via two factors that lay outside the limits of national identity: shared origins in the dynastic realm and the public’s growing taste for narratives with contemporary settings and moral themes. The methodologies employed permit an examination of the cultural and historical dimension of identity construction: Judith Butler demonstrates how gender ‘styles’ are brought into being through performative acts, giving them coherence through repetition; styles of masculinity were re-imagined in eighteenth-century literature. Benedict Anderson’s explanation for the rise of nationalism reveals a process begun in the late eighteenth-century, displacing ancient and deeply held relationships. Five thematic chapters treat: the sword as ‘signifier’ for an ancient and founding masculinity and its relation to honour culture; young military men advancing merit and subalternism as alternatives to hierarchical models; the veteran, created by society and functioning as the ideological ‘other’ to the new civilian; the mercenary soldier and the moral significance of markets in men; and finally, the justicier, an eighteenth-century literary figure who combines a new model of chivalry with military authority to pursue ‘poetic justice.’ It is my contention that in this period, with the ‘nobleman’ long gone, the military man, not a ‘civilian’ and no longer associated with the ‘aristocrat’, became a separate class of man.

Resumen
FRESH AND HUNGRY is a collection of eight short stories about young women who must reconcile their divided cultural identities and the dynamics of their relationships with men, standards towards infidelity, sexuality, domestic abuse, intellectual and professional ambitions. The collection describes the evolution of feminine identity in the lives of eight women from the ages of fifteen to thirty, showing the circle of experience that forms a woman's sense of self and the way she perceives the world around her. The stories are linked by one year that each character spent living in the same boarding house in Paris. While living abroad, the protagonists experience their own lives with the sensibilities of a tourist, hungry for adventure and transformation without the constraints of home.

Resumen
The Central African Republic is a small country located in the center of Africa. It is a very young nation in terms of political independence, but as the CAR emerges as a nation, it has begun to produce valuable authors who write for the French speaking world. This thesis is an attempt to bring part of the CAR's literature to the United States.Le Silence de la Foret was written by Etienne Goyemide and not only describes the culture of the mainstream population of the CAR, but also that of Pygmies. Although the book is a novel, the cultural aspects are not fictitious. This thesis is a translation of Goyemide's novel into English so that it can be made accessible to the English speaking world.The process of translating such a literary work required and increased knowledge and understanding of both French and English. In attempting to capture the style and tone of the author, careful attention was given to such aspects as tense, syntactic structures, register and vocabulary. A chapter of the thesis is devoted to describing the problems encountered during translation and the reasoning for the translations chosen.
