Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Desde el surgimiento de la corriente New Wave, las narraciones del género de la ciencia ficción contenían un significado simbólico como una alegoría a nuestra condición como humanos. Las avanzadas construcciones tecnológicas, los seres no humanos y los mundos distópicos empezaron a cumplir un rol más profundo de lo que tradicionalmente fueron al ser meramente elementos visuales llamativos a ojos del espectador. Tanto en las obras literarias como en las películas del género, se desarrollan como subtextos una serie de denuncias al control de poderes, lucha de clases, violencia de género, xenofobia, por mencionar algunos. Conflictos humanos que han existido desde hace bastante tiempo y afecta en cómo nos relacionamos con nuestros semejantes.
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar esos cuestionamientos que hace la ciencia ficción en relación a lo humano, presentes en la serie de televisión de HBO Westworld, a través de los recursos del lenguaje audiovisual como el desarrollo de sus personajes, los conflictos de sus subtramas y sus espacios físicos.Since the emergence of the New Wave phase, the narratives of the sci-fi genre contained symbolic significance as an allegory to our status as humans. Advanced technological constructions, non-humans and dystopian worlds began to play a deeper role than they traditionally were by being merely striking visual elements in the eyes of the viewer. In both literary works and films of the genre, a series of complaints of power control, class struggle, gender violence, xenophobia, to name a few are developed as subtexts. Human conflicts that have been around for quite some time and affect how we relate to our fellowmen. This research aims to analyze those questions that science fiction makes in relation to the human, presents in the HBO television series Westworld, through the resources of audiovisual language such as the development of its characters, conflicts of their subplots and physical spaces.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Ce travail de recherche examine la représentation de l'expérience des violences extrêmes dans l'espace fictionnel contemporain de l'Afrique subsaharienne francophone. Les nombreuses fictions en prose produites dans le sillage des conflits armés des années 90 et du génocide au Rwanda soulèvent des interrogations liées à la représentation de la douleur, de la cruauté et de la mort ainsi qu’à l'éthique de l'art. Comment le texte littéraire met-il en récit les événements traumatiques ? Comment l'écrivain pense et problématise-t-il des crises extrêmes relevant de l'histoire immédiate ? Selon quelles modalités littéraires sont-elles constituées en un objet de connaissance et de sensibilisation ? Et quelles sont les stratégies langagières et esthétiques privilégiées pour transmettre la mémoire des atrocités dans une visée de témoignage ou de réflexion critique ? Cette thèse explore la mise en écriture de ces drames collectifs qui inaugurent, sur les plans historique et socioculturel, une nouvelle ère de violence en Afrique subsaharienne. Dans ce contexte, nous nous intéressons surtout aux ouvrages qui – en raison des choix formels et stylistiques singuliers adoptés par leurs auteurs – se caractérisent par une radicalisation du discours et des scénographies particulièrement violentes. Cette étude qui, au final, interroge les pouvoirs et les possibles limites de l'art dans la représentation de faits de violence extrême analyse un vaste corpus de romans et de nouvelles parus entre 1998 et 2010 et propose une approche pluridisciplinaire, puisant, à côté des théories littéraires et esthétiques, dans l'histoire, la sociologie, l'anthropologie et la psychiatrieThis research project examines the representation of the experience of extreme violence in the contemporary fictional space of Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa. The numerous works of prose fiction written in the wake of the armed conflicts of the 1990s and the Rwandan genocide raise questions related to the representation of pain, cruelty and death as well as to the ethics of art. How do literary texts put into narrative traumatic events? How do writers think and problematize extreme crises of immediate history? By the means of what literary modalities are these crises constituted into an object of knowledge and awareness? And what esthetic and language strategies have been privileged to convey the memory of the atrocities in order toprovide testimony or aim at critical reflection? This thesis explores the writing of the collective tragedies that, from a historical and socio-cultural perspective, mark the start of a new period of violence in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this context, we are focusing predominantly on texts that are characterized – through the distinctive choices of form and style operated by the authors – by a radicalization of discourse and particularly violent plots and esthetics. This research which interrogates the powers and the possible limits of art in the representation of facts of extreme violence analyses an extensive corpus of novels and short stories published between 1998 and 2010 and suggests a multidisciplinary approach which, next to literary and esthetic theories, draws on history, sociology, anthropology and psychiatry

Mulla, Ahmed. "Conflits identitaires dans la fiction de Jhumpa Lahiri". Phd thesis, Université de la Réunion, 2012. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00858613.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
S'inspirant de l'expérience récente de la migration indienne aux Etats-Unis, la fiction de Jhumpa Lahiri se demande si tant la nation que l'individu sont en mesure de revoir les termes mêmes de leur identité. Jhumpa Lahiri met l'accent sur l'adaptation à l'étranger en tant que processus de longue haleine. Car le changement ne prend pas, dans ce contexte, l'aspect d'une transformation subite ; il s'agit davantage d'une lente négociation entre une tradition surdéterminante et un futur sous-défini. Le meilleur éclairage que l'on puisse apporter à cette littérature de la diaspora, qui gagne en consistance et en légitimité avec l'avènement de la mondialisation, est offert par les outils de la critique postcoloniale. Bien qu'elle soit issue d'un contexte politique, cette école de pensée trouve sa pertinence dans la façon qu'elle a de poser les problèmes afférant à la possibilité de surmonter un passé conflictuel. Comment accepter l'étranger en soi ? Que faire de cette culture qui n'offre pas d'autre choix que celui de la capitulation ? Dans quelle mesure peut-on imaginer une identité où les conflits nés de valeurs contradictoires seraient ramenés à leur plus simple expression ? Notre essai consiste à découvrir de quelle manière le déplacement dû à l'exil induit une série de stratégies de préservation et de transformations identitaires. En dernier ressort, nous nous interrogerons sur les retombées de la conception lahirienne de l'identité, puisque cette romancière semble considérer que les racines et les traditions ne sont que d'une toute relative utilité lorsque l'on se trouve en terre étrangère.

Altmaier, Catherine. "The Gospel of Cosmopolitanism: Conflict Resolution in Barbara Kingsolver's Fiction". TopSCHOLAR®, 2006. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/439.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Despite Barbara Kingsolver's ability to create unique characters and storylines, two factors remain constant throughout each of her novels: strong female protagonists and conflict resolution. Though conflict exists in almost all fiction, the way that Kingsolver's characters deal with their situations often speaks louder than any other aspect of her writing. Moreover, though her characters often vary wildly from story to story, their methods of conflict resolution seem to undoubtedly connect them. Through her continuing desire to emphasize "the question of individualism and communal identity," {Reading Group Guides) Kingsolver often promotes the ideas of cosmopolitanism, which have recently been articulated by Kwame Anthony Appiah in his book Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers. Appiah argues that cosmopolitanism can be represented by two main ideas: "One is the idea that we have obligations to others, obligations that stretch beyond those to whom we are related by the ties of kith and kind, or even the more formal ties of a shared citizenship," while the other is "that we take seriously the value not just of human life but of particular human lives, which means taking an interest in the practices and beliefs that lend them significance" {Cosmopolitanism xv). Though Appiah presents a compelling rationale for cosmopolitanism in postcolonial international relations, Kingsolver applies the same theories not only to global relationships but to personal conflict as well. While each of Kingsolver's novels could be explored for the theories of cosmopolitanism they demonstrate, The Poisonwood Bible and Prodigal Summer provide the best foundation for an examination of their broad applications of cosmopolitanism. Within The Poisonwood Bible, Orleanna, Leah, Rachel, and Adah Price are forced to deal with the international issues concerning the United States and the Congo, which directly affect their lives, as well as personal conflicts that range from quarrelling sisters to death and divorce. Throughout each struggle they face, they regularly apply at least one aspect of cosmopolitanism. Moreover, their most effective moments of conflict resolution come when they more precisely adhere to the tenets of cosmopolitanism. In Prodigal Summer, however, Kingsolver is primarily exploring the use of cosmopolitanism in more personal matters through the story of Lusa Landowski Widener. Though Lusa is not involved with any kind of international politics, it is the ideologies behind cosmopolitanism that allows her to reclaim her life after the loss of her husband while taking responsibility for her choices and becoming more accepting of those she does not understand. Appiah argues that, "A tenable global ethics has to temper a respect for difference with a respect for the freedom of actual human beings to make their own choices" ("Case" 30). Though Kingsolver would agree, she would further contend that such an idea should be more than a doctrine of "global ethics." Instead, cosmopolitanism should be applied to common, every day decisions in order to make greater change in the world. In The Poisonwood Bible and Prodigal Summer, Kingsolver demonstrates the efficacy of such an application of cosmopolitanism.

Malvestio, Marco. "The conflict revisited: representing the second world war in twenty-first century fiction". Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Padova, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/11577/3427295.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The thesis seeks to illuminate the post-postmodern poetics of contemporary global literature about World War II. Whereas twentieth-century novels concerned with the representation of the Second World War tend toward postmodern playfulness and deconstructivism, contemporary literatures about the Second World War, I argue, pay renewed attention to reality. Through textual examples, I convey how authors reprise the techniques of modern and classical genres in tandem with postmodern traits in order to realise the Second World War as an historical event as well as a discursive subject and a plot device through which to explore the intersections of human history and violence. This thesis considers in detail works by Chilean author, Roberto Bolaño; French author, Jonathan Littell; American author, William T. Vollmann; and Australian author, Richard Flanagan. It also makes comparisons between their approaches to representing World War II and those of other writers such as Philip Roth, Laurent Binet, Giorgio Falco, Martin Amis, Andrea Levy, Sarah Waters, Ian McEwan, and others. The breadth of authors analysed is intended to convey the extent to which contemporary representations of World War II converge around a postpostmodern return of the real, and therefore testify to the evolution of post-postmodern poetics as an international phenomenon and the form of the global novel.

Esta dissertação discute basicamente algumas maneiras através das quais o conflito é apresentado no diálogo de ficção. O propósito deste trabalho é provar que o diálogo é uma grande fonte de conflito na narrativa. Este trabalho está dividido em quatro capítulos. O primeiro capítulo examina os relacionamentos das personagens e seus problemas pela aplicação da teoria do Princípio Cooperativo de Grice e suas máximas para esse princípio. O segundo capítulo trata das rupturas na estrutura, desenvolvida por Coulthard e Brazil para uma "troca" em conversação. Nesse capítulo, ainda é considerada a não-observância das regras de Sacks, Jefferson e Shegloff para o Sistema de Turnos em Conversação. O terceiro capítulo analisa alguns elementos da glosa ou interpretação do narrador e ilustra como esses elementos podem indicar para o leitor a presença de conflito. No quarto capítulo, é apresentada uma pesquisa sobre a reação do leitor à ausência da glosa ou TE, numa tentativa de provar que os leitores são usualmente capazes de criar entre-textos para preencher as lacunas deixadas pelo narrador. A pesquisa também mostra que, quando o conflito está claro no próprio diálogo, os leitores também o assinalam nos seus próprios entre-textos. Como conclusão, as linha teóricas utilizadas para análise são relacionadas, e a sua utilidade para o objetivo proposto é discutida.

Lemus, Martinez Violetta. "Versions en conflit, versions d’un conflit : l’Intervention française au Mexique (1862-1867) entre histoire et fiction". Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA064/document.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Cette thèse est l’étude d’une sélection d’œuvres littéraires mexicaines et françaises concernant les évènements historiques de l’Intervention française au Mexique (1862-1867) et du Second Empire Mexicain (1864-1867). Ces œuvres s’étalent entre le XIXe et le XXIe siècle et ont été sélectionnés pour leurs réflexions poétiques et politiques exemplaires et d’autre part parce qu’elles ont contribuées à la construction d’une iconographie culturelle et identitaire mexicaine. Les genres romanesque et théâtral ont été sélectionnés pour pouvoir établir une étude comparative diachronique. Le choix des œuvres et des auteurs a été établi en fonction du traitement de l’Intervention française et de leur importance. Les œuvres analysées correspondent au sous-genre du roman-feuilleton du XIXe siècle avec, pour la littérature française, Benito Vázquez (1869) de Lucien Biart et Doña Flor (1877) de Gustave Aimard et, pour la littérature mexicaine, Clemencia (1869) de Manuel Altamirano et El Cerro de las Campanas (1868) de Juan Mateos. Les pièces de théâtre Corona de Sombra (1943) de Rodolfo Usigli et Charlotte et Maximilien (1945) de Maurice Rostand sont traitées de manière comparative et la pièce El Tuerto es Rey (1970) de Carlos Fuentes est analysée de manière complémentaire. Quant aux manifestations littéraires historiques plus contemporaines, nous incluons Noticias del Imperio (1987) de Fernando del Paso et Yo, el francés de Jean Meyer (2002). Cet ensemble propose une analyse comparative, linguistique, sémiotique et littéraire des œuvres citées. Il invite à une réflexion approfondie sur l’interprétation que la littérature ou l’égo-histoire ont proposé de ce conflit, un conflit armé et politique dont la mémoire a traversé l’histoire et les productions littéraires mexicaines et françaisesIn this doctoral dissertation, we are studying a selection of both Mexican and French literary works related to the historic events of the Second French Intervention in Mexico (1862-1867) and of the Second Mexican Empire (1864-1867). This body of works has been published between the XIXth and the XXIth century and has been selected, both because their poetic and political thoughts are emblematic of this period and because they have contributed to the construction of a Mexican cultural and identity iconography. We have decided to select the fiction and theatrical genres, to carry out a comparative and diachronic analysis. The decision of which literary works and authors to include has been made based on how both the French Intervention and the way it has been depicted in literature, have been dealt with in particular in each literary work and each author we considered to studied. The studied novels belong to the sub-genre of serialized fiction in the XIXth century with, on the French side, Benito Vázquez (1869) by Lucien Biart and Doña Flor (1877) by Gustave Aimard and, on the Mexican side, Clemencia (1869) by Manuel Altamirano and El Cerro de las Campanas (1868) by Juan Mateos. As far as theatre plays are concerned, we have carried out a comparative study of both Corona de Sombra (1943) by Rodolfo Usigli and Charlotte et Maximilien (1945) by Maurice Rostand. We have completed our analysis with a complementary study of El Tuerto es Rey (1970) by Carlos Fuentes. Regarding more contemporaneous historic and literary creations, we chose to include Noticias del Imperio (1987) by Fernando del Paso and Yo, el francés by Jean Meyer (2002). This corpus allows to carry out a comparative, linguistic, semiotic and literary analysis of afore-mentioned works. Such analysis calls for a thorough reflection on the interpretation of conflict, an armed and political conflict which influenced both History and Mexican and French literary productions

Duflos, Anne. "L'écriture des masculinités dans la fiction nord-irlandaise contemporaine". Thesis, Lille 3, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LIL30020/document.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Cette thèse se propose d’étudier l’écriture des masculinités dans la fiction nord-irlandaise contemporaine. Le corpus est constitué de six romans publiés pendant la décennie qui suit le traité de paix de 1998 : Breakfast on Pluto de Patrick McCabe (1998), No Bones d’Anna Burns (2001), Fodder de Tara West (2002), The Ultras d’Eoin McNamee (2004), Little Constructions d’Anna Burns (2007) et The Truth Commissioner de David Park (2008). Les enjeux politiques et sociologiques spécifiques que cristallise la question de la masculinité dans le nord de l’Irlande se mesurent à l’aune des Troubles et du processus de paix. Une dialectique entre conformisme et subversion des codes de la virilité est à l’œuvre dans les romans étudiés dont les stratégies d’écritures mènent à une reconfiguration de la masculinité en « anti-virilité » pour révéler les composantes et mécanismes du stéréotype. L’analyse de la suprématie de la masculinité puis de la subordination de la féminité dans les romans à l’étude nous conduit à observer une orientation féministe queer. De cette reconfiguration particulière de la virilité et du dévoilement de la dimension genrée des rapports de pouvoir, émerge un contre-discours qui met en question le récit hégémonique de paix présent dans la sphère publique. Dans ces fictions, l’injonction à « tourner la page » et l’optimisme ambiant de cette rhétorique sont ébranlés par les diverses manifestations des scories du passé qui mettent en évidence un profond malaise dans le nord de Irlande aux lendemains des accords de paixThis thesis explores the concept of masculinity in contemporary Northern-Irish fiction. My body of texts is constituted by six novels published in the decade after the Good Friday Agreement (1998): Breakfast on Pluto by Patrick McCabe (1998), No Bones by Anna Burns (2001), Fodder by Tara West (2002), The Ultras by Eoin McNamee (2004), Little Constructions by Anna Burns (2007) and The Truth Commissioner by David Park (2008). Because of the close links between masculinity, violence, national identity and the military, the issue of masculinity is of particular importance in the aftermath of the Troubles and of the peace process in Northern Ireland. In the novels, a dialectics between conformism and subversion of codes of manliness develops and reconfigures masculinity as ‘anti-virility’ in order to reveal the characteristics and functioning of the stereotype. The focus first on the supremacy of masculinity and then on the subordination of femininity in the novels leads us to notice a queer and feminist orientation in the writing strategies. This particular reshaping of masculinity and the unveiling of the gender order enable the emergence of a counter-narrative which challenges the hegemonic discourse about peace in the Northern-Irish public sphere. The aggressive incitement to make a fresh start and the pervasive optimism of this rhetoric are debunked by the lingering past residuals in the novels which ultimately display a profound malaise in the post-conflict Northern Ireland

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Any study of Kiswahili prose fiction shows that there is a wide spread portrayal of conflicts existing between the traditional and the modern culture in the East African societies. This thesis looks at the portrayal of these conflicts in the novels of Euphrase Kezilahabi, who is one of the most prominent contemporary Swahili fiction writers. In the thesis I have studied Kezilahabi's novels from a story structuralist point of view and a more stylistic point of view. In this case I was able to combine both the traditional literary analysis of plot, theme, character and language with more sophisticated approaches as well as with computational linguistic techniques. The whole thesis has eight chapters. The first chapter, which is the introduction, looks at how prose fiction has been used in many parts of the world to portray the social problems of societies at particular historical moments. Attention is paid to Commonwealth and African Literature as well as Swahili Literature. The second chapter is a structural approach to the content and meaning of Kezilahabi's novels. It is from this study that the underlying theme is perceived, characters and other minor themes identified. The relationship between characters and their place and role in the development of the story has been discussed in chapter three. This chapter also looks at the characters' contribution to the themes and their relationship with the semantic structure. In chapter four, the themes identified in the discussion above were then looked at in detail independently and in relation to themselves, the characters and the development of the story. Kezilahabi's use of language and imagery seemed to be very important in the study of his work. Chapter five dealt with his use of imagery and compared his story structure with that of folk tales in an attempt to see if he was influenced by the oral tradition. A computational analysis of the verbs he uses is done in chapter six while other grammatical devices like time relaters, place definers and connectives are discussed in detail in chapter seven. Chapter eight, which is the concluding chapter, discusses Kezilahabi's fourth novel in relation to the issues highlighted in the thesis.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Cette étude propose d’explorer la fiction de Robert E. Howard, dont l’œuvre fut publiée exclusivement dans les pulp magazines américains des années vingt et trente, et qui est aujourd’hui considéré comme le fondateur de la sword and sorcery, un sous-genre de la fantasy régulièrement critiqué en raison de son manque de sophistication. Si la plupart des critiques du genre s’accordent à dire que Howard a cristallisé la forme moderne de la fantasy américaine, nous remettons en question l’idée que son œuvre est uniquement une littérature d’évasion et que ses écrits sont représentatifs du sous-genre qu’il est censé avoir fondé.La théorie qui informe notre approche est que l’œuvre de Howard n’est une littérature d’évasion qu’en ce sens qu’elle évite d’aborder un épisode traumatique survenu au cours de l’enfance de l’auteur. Nous concentrant dans un premier temps sur des détails en apparence anodins tels les noms propres des protagonistes ou la couleur de leurs yeux, notre étude met en évidence les traces et les manifestations littéraires du trauma que nous postulons, révélant une architecture souterraine complexe qui sous-tend l’intégralité de l’œuvre. Le résultat de ce travail offre des perspectives nouvelles sur la nature de l’apport howardien à la fantasy américaine, et nous amène à conclure que la forme même du genre procède du traumaThis study explores the fiction of Robert E. Howard, whose entire body of work was published in the American pulp magazines of the 1920s and 1930s, and who has since been credited as the creator of « sword and sorcery », a subgenre of fantasy fiction often criticized due to its lack of sophistication. While the consensus is that Howard defined the American form of modern fantasy, we call into question what is seen as the purely escapist nature of his tales and challenge the notion that his fiction is representative of the subgenre he is considered to have initiated. At the core of our approach is the theory that Howard’s fiction is escapist only in the sense that it avoids writing about a traumatic episode dating from the author’s childhood. Focusing at first on apparently inconsequential details such as the characters’ names or the color of their eyes, the present work identifies the literary traces and manifestations of the trauma we postulate, to reveal an elaborate, if hidden, architecture that informs the entire body of his fiction. This, in turn, offers new perspectives on Howard’s contribution to American fantasy and leads us to conclude that the very form of the genre proceeds from trauma

Henson, Nicholas Allan. "The Pen, the Scaffold, and the Sword: Representations of Labor and Class Conflict in American Historical Fiction After 1945". Thesis, University of Oregon, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/12478.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
279 pagesThe Pen, the Scaffold, and the Sword traces sympathetic representations of class, labor, and radicalism in American literature from post-war modernism through the rise of postmodernism. I investigate two distinct but interrelated questions: How have authors writing after 1945 used history to represent labor and radicalism in their work? Furthermore, how have these historical representations explored avenues for resistance by exploited workers and their supporters? I use critical approaches to postmodern literature that have emphasized the proliferation of previously unheard narratives focused on race, gender, and sexuality as they are presented against dominant white male representations. However, I turn to class and labor as complementary avenues for critically investigating similar unheard historical narratives. I argue that by depicting specific labor conflicts each of these texts present counter histories to standard or popular historical narratives that have ignored the breadth and importance of class conflict in U.S. history. These texts retell the stories of historic labor struggles to rejuvenate an awareness of class and labor issues in contemporary readers. In doing so, they establish counter narratives meant to be read against common conceptions of the past. I contend they change reader perceptions of history and contemporary social and political issues by demanding we abandon totalizing conceptions of history and emphasize contingent or limited representations instead. Chapter I establishes the parameters of the project. Chapter II turns toWallace Stegner’s Joe Hill (1951) and its often ignored sympathetic portrayal of labor. Chapter III focuses on the 1954 film Salt of the Earth and its communication of historical lessons as a basis for future social reforms. Chapter IV compares Denise Giardina’s coal mining novels Storming Heaven (1987) and The Unquiet Earth (1990) with Upton Sinclair’s work in King Coal (1917) to examine the former’s emphasis on agency and environmentalism. Chapter V compares Thomas Pynchon’s exploration of history through the motifs of the frontier and families in Against the Day (2006) and Vineland (1990) with Owen Wister’s work in The Virginian (1902). Finally, Chapter VI examines historical fiction in the age of postmodernism though an examination of E.L. Doctorow’s Ragtime (1974).

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
While capitalism is thought by many to enable male homosexual identity to emerge, this same economic system creates a class hierarchy that promotes a heteronormative worldview, which marks homosexual men as the outcasts of society. In England during the years leading up to the First World War, a man’s character and persona were determined by his social class position. As a result homosexual men of the upper class, who held power, respectability, and masculine virtues in society, used class to mask their sexuality. In this sense the upper-class position enabled men to portray a public identity that abided by the constraints of heteronormativity despite their homosexual desire, which remained suppressed for fear of losing their power within society. Even when homosexual men displayed effeminate traits that opposed masculine ideals, the upper-class position worked to reinforce their heteronormativity, showing the power of capitalism’s class system to infiltrate and influence a man’s identity. E. M. Forster’s Maurice and A. T. Fitzroy’s Despised and Rejected provide two examples of how the upper-class position worked to mask the recognition of male homosexuality by society in early twentieth–century England. Written in 1913, but not published until after Forster’s death in 1971, Maurice has become a canonical text in the gay literary tradition. Through depictions of male intraclass and cross-class relationships, this novel suggests that class position worked to maintain a public heteronormative identity where stepping outside of strict class boundaries could disrupt the very thing which enabled one to keep one’s power. While the posthumous publication of Maurice complicates its place as a representation of homosexual identity and British society at the time, A. T. Fitzroy’s Despised and Rejected gives a clearer picture of both through its focus on homosexuality and pacifism. Through this investigation of homosexuality and pacifism, Fitzroy acknowledges a connection between male sexual identity and a refusal to go to war. While this failure to participate in militarism indicates a man’s opposition to heteronormativity, particularly normative masculinity, the upper-class position redirects this difference away from homosexual identity and onto effeminacy. This effeminacy does not indicate homosexual identity, but rather a failure to embody masculine ideals of the time. Ultimately, both novels portray the power of the upper-class position to define identity by supporting heteronormativity and masking homosexuality.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Le conte créole est l’un des éléments principaux de la culture martiniquaise, dont la population est née de la colonisation et de l’esclavage. Ti Jean, héros du conte très populaire aux Antilles, a été hérité des colons, comme dans les anciennes colonies françaises d’Amérique, et modelé par les esclaves africains ; il est perçu tantôt comme esclave, tantôt comme marron ou encore comme rival de l’ancien maître dont il ravit les biens. Parfois, il s’oppose au roi dont il hérite des biens voire de la fille à la suite d’une série d’épreuves. Il peut être rapproché du Martiniquais en révolte, comme lors des manifestations de février 2009 et de ce fait ce type de conte pourrait être utilisé pour aider à trouver des repères à une population dont l’histoire est jalonnée de conflits sociauxCreole tales is one of the main elements of the culture of Martinique, where the population is born of colonialism and slavery. Ti Jean, the hero of the story very popular in the West Indies, was inherited from the colonists, as in former French colonies in America, and shaped by African slaves ; he is sometimes perceived as a slave, sometimes as a « Brown Negro » or as of rival master whom he delights the property. Sometimes it is opposed to the king which he inherits the property or the girl after a series of tests. It can be compared with Martinique in revolt, as in the demonstrations in February 2009 and therefore this type of story could be used to help find markers to a population whose history is marked by social conflict

Based on José Saramago s novel called História do cerco de Lisboa, this dissertation aims to feature and analyse the boundary or territoriality existent between History and Literature. The literary and poetic expression of the History seeks to examine carefully the analysis of the boundaries coursed by these two fields of knowledge Literature and History in the process of retrieving and writing about the human experience, whatever it may be in the past or in the present tenses. Our hypothesis is that the History will demonstrate the territoriality between the present and the past which are harmonized on the work, whose articulation to the contemporary culture does not behold the past as something definitely lost or whose rescue is anachronistic. The theoretical framework is based on the idea of the History to become the own novel theme, because it is inserted in the fiction as a part of its, generating dialogic and territoriality conflicts discourses between the present and the past tenses. Toward this, studious as Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben, Mikhail Bakthin, Tzvetan Todorov, Paul Ricouer, Homi K Bhabba will be studied and recovered in their theoretical proposals to consolidate groundwork to the arguments of analysis and interpretation. The contemporary discussion about the boundaries between literature and history recovers in several manners foregoing controversies. One of them is the discussion about the value and the truth of the literary and historical narratives, whose relations interchange between opposition and complementary periods. In this sense, the analysis may assist to comprehend better the boundaries between both discourses and procedures with which they authenticate their truths and their values
A partir do romance História do cerco de Lisboa, de José Saramago, a presente dissertação tem como objetivo destacar e analisar a fronteira ou territorialidade existente entre História e Literatura. A expressão literária e poética da História busca aprofundar a análise das fronteiras percorridas por essas duas áreas de conhecimento Literatura e História no processo de resgate e escrita da experiência humana, seja ela a do passado ou a do presente. A nossa hipótese é que a História irá manifestar a territorialidade entre o tempo presente e o passado, os quais são harmonizados na obra, cuja vinculação à cultura contemporânea não contempla o passado como algo definitivamente perdido ou cujo resgate é anacrônico. A fundamentação teórica se baseia na ideia da História se tornar o próprio tema do romance, pois está encaixada na ficção como parte dela, gerando discursos dialógicos e conflitos de territorialidade entre o tempo presente e o passado. Para isso, estudiosos como Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben, Mikhail Bakhtin, Tzvetan Todorov, Paul Ricoeur, Homi K. Bhabba serão estudados e resgatados em suas propostas teóricas como forma de dar fundamentação aos argumentos de análise e interpretação. O debate contemporâneo sobre as fronteiras entre a literatura e a história recupera de várias maneiras disputas anteriores. Uma delas é a discussão sobre o valor e a verdade das narrativas históricas e literárias, cujas relações se alternam entre períodos de oposição e de complementaridade. Nesse sentido, a análise pode ajudar a compreender melhor as fronteiras entre os dois discursos e os procedimentos com que eles referendam as suas verdades e os seus valores

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Reading plays an important role in establishing lifelong learning and providing the reader with an avenue to new experiences and a language with which to express their ideas and feelings (Owen 2003; Hamston & Love 2005). In particular adolescents need a language that allows them to 'play with their identities in a safe and controlled manner to explore who they want to be in this ever changing world' (Koss & Teale 2009, 569). Block (1995) advances that there is a distinct correlation between what we read and how we live in the world, and argues 'if what we read influences our identity in the world, the ways we are able to imagine and live in the world, then there is some responsibility to address these various texts, their readers and possible reading experiences' (Koss & Teale 2009, 569). Within my research I attempt to take on this responsibility by establishing a connection between reluctant adolescent male readers, and their reading experiences and by using their opinions to create a novella that seeks to more fully engage them.
Centred within the larger debate about boys and books are two central discussions: why don't boys read and what should boys read? While a number of reasons why adolescent boys don't read are mentioned in this paper and it might not be possible to fully account for why many are reluctant readers, it is possible to argue that specific forms of literature addressing certain themes and topics relevant to the age group might appeal to reluctant readers.
The conceptual framework for this research was structured using a mixed-method approach consisting of four phases. In positioning my research for determining literature that reluctant readers may want to read I draw on a variety of material which tends to support the longevity of S.E Hinton's (1967) argument that 'teenagers today, want to read about teenagers today' (cited in Smith & Wilhelm 2002, 6). My practice-based research was conducted within a high school in Brisbane, Australia. Six participants were selected and required to read three recently published Australian Young Adult novels, and opinion was collected via semi-structured interviews on these case studies. Grounded Theory (Charmaz 2003; Charmaz 2006; Glaser & Strauss 2011) informed the design of the questions, and the process of concurrent interviews and analysis of opinion. This analysis led to construction of my theory: adolescent male reluctant readers want to read about female relationships and family conflict within a story that consists of an adventure that, although unlikely to happen, could happen.
From this study there are two main contributions, which have theoretical and practical implications for stakeholders with a vested interest in the discussion regarding boys and books. First, this study, through the research methodology, presents key findings that indicate that reluctant readers are interested in realistic texts addressing themes that will help with the construction of, and understanding of, their own lives. Secondly, the grounded theory derived from these findings is applied to my own praxis and my creative artefact (Duende) is included with this exegesis as a text intended to create a connection between engaging texts and adolescent male reluctant readers.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Il est difficile de ne pas concevoir l’utopie du côté de la rupture : division spatiale originelle, tension temporelle, désaccord critique. Pourtant les théories et attaques des anti-utopistes voient dans l’utopie un monde illusoire voire inutile, clos, signant la fin des temps et potentiellement dangereux pour l’humanité. Et si l’utopie n’était pas le programme de la société meilleure à réaliser, mais bien au contraire une pratique transgressive, une apparition de discontinuité dans notre « ici et maintenant », un excès qui vient doubler le réel plutôt qu’un possible à réaliser dans le futur ?Iain M. Banks est un auteur de science-fiction contemporain original et audacieux, qui, conscient des dangers inhérents à l’utopie, a su jouer avec ces limites pour proposer une société utopique totalement inédite : cette utopie s’appelle la Culture. Comment réinvestir singulièrement l’utopie ? Comment la science-fiction – et plus précisément le genre du space-opéra – permet-elle de mettre en scène des problématiques politiques dignes d’un intérêt philosophique ?Iain M. Banks imagine une utopie tout entière tournée vers la rencontre, la proximité, la nouveauté. Subvertissant les traditions utopique et science-fictionnelle, le Cycle de la Culture est traversé par l’altérité et le conflit. Ces deux caractéristiques sont les fils directeurs de cette thèse qui vise à reconceptualiser l’utopie dans une perspective philosophique, politique et littéraire, en travaillant les représentations du discours utopique au sein du laboratoire science fictionnel.Ce discours prend ici trois formes : dystopie, hétérotopie, (e)utopie. Ensemble, elles dessinent une « culture utopique radicale »It is difficult not to conceive utopia as a rupture: through original spatial division, temporal tension, critical discordance. Yet, theories and attacks from anti-utopians consider utopia as an illusory world, even useless, enclosed, marking the end of times and potentially dangerous for humanity. What if utopia was not the programme of a better society to realize,but instead a transgressive practice, an apparition of discontinuity in our « now and here », an excess which overtakes reality rather than a possible that has yet to be realized in the future? Iain M. Banks is a contemporary, original and audacious science-fiction author, who,aware of the inherent dangers of utopia, has known how to challenge these limits in order to provide a completely unique utopian society: this utopia is called the Culture. How to critically reinvest utopia? How can science fiction – and more precisely the genre of space-opera – depict political issues, worthy of philosophical enquiry? Iain M. Banks imagines a space for utopia, entirely oriented towards encounter,proximity, and novelty. Subverting science-fictional and utopian traditions, notions of alterity and conflict span the Culture Cycle. These two characteristics are the guiding principles of this dissertation, which aims at reconceptualizing utopia through a philosophical, political and literary perspective, by way of analysing the representations of utopian discourses within the science-fictional laboratory. These discourses take three shapes: dystopia, heterotopia, (e)utopia. Together, they outline a “radical utopian culture”

This research paper aims at investigating the relationship between history and fiction in the construction of Arthur Miller s play The Crucible, 1953. After situating the reader in the context of the modern American Theater, as in the period of the author's life, in an attempt to situate the text in the context of Miller s time, seeking an interpretation that incorporates dialectically the exteriority to the interiority of the work, we trace the real facts which happened in Salem in 1692, in a chronological and sequential order, as befits a historical investigation. Searching for a better comprehension of The Crucible, we examined the relationship between history and fiction, as understood by important philosophers and theorists throughout the centuries. Based on essential parameters to the understanding of this complex relationship and in possession of relevant concepts about the theory of drama, we analysed the play in the light of the proposed theories. The main results show that, The Crucible is a play based on the story of the tragic episode of the Salem Witch Hunts, but it is not history in the sense the word is used by an academic historian. The work concludes that Arthur Miller was careful enough to adjust the historical material he raised about Salem to his fictional purposes and, through dramatic strategies, he not only showed the historical events from a critical perspective, but he was also able to create an excess of meaning that transforms his historical play into an allegory of oppression and persecution.
A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar as relações entre história e ficção na construção da peça The Crucible (As Bruxas de Salém, 1953), de Arthur Miller. Após situar o leitor no teatro moderno norte-americano e na vida do autor, buscando assim enquadrar os estudos do texto no contexto da época de Miller, visando uma interpretação que dialeticamente integre a exterioridade à interioridade da obra, rastreamos os fatos reais ocorridos em Salém em 1692, numa ordem cronológica e sequencial, como nos orienta uma investigação histórica. Numa tentativa de melhor compreender As Bruxas de Salém, examinamos com mais profundidade a relação entre história e ficção, tal como compreendida por importantes filósofos e teóricos ao longo dos séculos. Com base em parâmetros essenciais à apreensão dessa complexa relação e de posse de uma série relevante de conceitos sobre a teoria do drama, analisa-se a peça à luz das teorias propostas. Os principais resultados mostram que, As Bruxas de Salém é uma peça baseada em relatos e documentos históricos relativos ao trágico episódio da caça às bruxas de Salém, mas não é história no sentido em que a palavra é usada pelo historiador acadêmico. O trabalho conclui que Arthur Miller teve o cuidado de ajustar o material histórico por ele levantado em Salém ao seu propósito dramático e que, através de estratégias dramáticas, não apenas mostrou os eventos históricos sob uma perspectiva crítica, como também foi capaz de criar um excesso de significado que transforma sua peça histórica numa alegoria da opressão e da perseguição.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Notre étude porte sur les guerres civiles dans le roman de l'âge baroque (1580-1668) en France et en Angleterre, pays dont l'identité nationale se redéfinit à l'issue de crises dramatiques aux XVI' et XVIIe siècles. Au croisement des études génériques, des théories contemporaines de la fiction et des approches historicistes, notre travail poursuit deux objectifs : contribuer à la connaissance de la poétique romanesque, éclairer les rapports entre littérature et histoire à partir d'un corpus de trente romans encore trop peu connus. La comparaison entre France et Angleterre implique d'abord d'interroger les critères de définition et les frontières du genre romanesque, puis de retracer la généalogie des modèles narratifs de nos auteurs. Une poétique de la guerre est ensuite dégagée par l'analyse des fonctions narratives de la séquence guerrière, de la construction des personnages, de l'écriture de la violence (mise en spectacle ou estompée). L'étude s'achève par l'interprétation des textes, après une réflexion sur le statut du fait et de la fiction. Entre mémoire des guerres de religion et enregistrement à chaud de la Révolution anglaise, les romans de l'âge baroque développent une forme spécifique de roman historique dont les principales caractéristiques sont le déplacement des enjeux collectifs et la métaphorisation de la division religieuse au niveau du couple ou de la famille, ainsi que le recyclage de l'écriture allégorique. Genre dédié à l'amour, contrairement à l'épopée, le roman baroque élabore des représentations variées et complexes de la guerre civile, cette guerre intérieure qui questionne l'identité et l'appartenance, donc l'intime, objet romanesque par excellenceThis work examines the use of civil wars in English and French novels between 1580 and 1668 that is to say during the Baroque period. At this time, France and England were going through a revolutionary political, religious but also social crisis. Our framework is based on genre studies, contemporary theories of fiction and historicity. We aimed at shedding a new light on novel's poetics and analysing the articulation of fact and fiction through the study of a corpus of thirty little-known novels. The comparison between the French novels and the English ones implies to identify what defines the genre of early modern novel and its boundaries for both countries, and determine the genealogy of the narrative models used by the authors. We then establish the poetics of war through the analyses of the narrative functions of war sequences, the way characters are build up and the stylistics of violence (staged or faded). Finally, we suggest an interpretation of the novels. From the remembrance of wars of religion to the record of the English Revolution, Baroque novels constitute a specific form of historical fiction, characterized by the displacement of collective stakes and the metaphorisation of the religious division to the level of the couple or the family but also the recycling of the allegorical writing style. The Baroque novel is dedicated to love as opposed to the epic genre, it offers various and complex representations of civil war, this internai conflict questioning one's identity, faith and sense of belonging, three key concepts of the early modern novel

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Lucidity is a novella set in the near future of a man living in a city in the United States as a successful businessman. The novella criticizes the idea of consumerism through Aurora, a character who believes that a drug is being introduced into the water and food supply by the corporate-backed government. Characters find advertising to be almost irresistible, experience strange cravings for things like cheap beer, and are generally preoccupied with the latest products. James Simmons, the protagonist of the novella, finds himself in the lap of luxury. He has a job that pays well, a penthouse apartment, a fast car, and women. Even though he has the material riches that society tells him he needs to be happy, he knows that something is missing, something is wrong with the world in which he lives. For reasons unknown to him at the time, James is fired from his job and sets out on a journey to discover why. Over the course of his journey, he is finally able to begin piecing together the nature of deeper questions about himself that he never had a chance to answer.B.A.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis consists of a novel written with the express purpose of exploring what practices and strategies are most useful in writing novel-length fiction as well as an exegesis which discusses the process. By its very nature, an undergraduate degree in Creative Writing is broad and general in approach. The Creative Writing undergraduate is being trained to manage many and varying writing tasks but none of them larger than can be readily marked and assessed in class quantities. This does not prepare the writing graduate for the gargantuan task of managing a project as large as a single title novel which can be up to 100,000 words and often is more. This study explores the question of what writing tools and practices best equip an emerging writer to begin, write and manage a long narrative within a deadline.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis investigates quantum physics narratives for non-physicists, covering four interlocking modes of writing for adults and children, fictional and nonfictional, from 1900 to the present. It brings together three separate scholarly fields: literature and science, science fiction, and science communication. The thesis has revealed parallels between the approaches to quantum physics in these disparate narratives that have not been addressed before, shedding new light on the mutual influences between science and narrative form. The thesis argues that similar narrative tropes have been employed in popular science writing and in fiction across all age groups, changing non-physicists' ideas of quantum physics. This understanding differs significantly from the professional understanding of quantum physics, as I establish by means of a series of case studies, including popular science books for adults by Alastair I.M. Rae, George Gamow and Robert Gilmore; popularizations for children by Lucy and Stephen Hawking, Russell Stannard, and Otto Fong; children's fiction by Philip Pullman and Madeleine L'Engle; and fiction for adults by Greg Egan, David Walton, Blake Crouch, and Iain Pears. An analysis of authors who wrote for various audiences or in multiple genres, such as Fred Hoyle, Stephen Hawking, and Ian Stewart, shows how the same concerns and conflicts surface in a wide range of stories. Quantum physics is not yet fully understood; the Copenhagen, conscious collapse, many-worlds and other interpretations compete for both scientific and public acceptance. Influential physics communicators such as John Gribbin and Brian Cox have written popularizations in which they express a personal preference for one interpretation, arguing against others. Scientific conflict, which tends to be omitted from university teaching, is thus explicitly present in popularizations, making it clear to the reader that quantum physics is in a constant state of flux. I investigate the conflicts between Fred Hoyle and George Gamow, and Stephen Hawking and Leonard Susskind, to see how they undermine the alleged objectivity of science. The interplay between the different stories of quantum physics shows how the science not only shapes the stories: the stories shape the science, too.

In a golden era for comic based media, this paper uses the hypothetical emergence of superheroes to analyze the assumptions and predictions of three international relations theories: realism, liberalism, and constructivism. Comics consistently reflect the real world, paralleling events and concepts discussed in foreign affairs dialogues. The thought experiment, and the comic genre itself, provides a vehicle for thinking broadly about the political and social ramifications of successful or failed problem solving, state interaction, and scientific advances.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Cette étude propose de questionner les correspondances entre l’architecture apparente ou non des premiers romans de Marcel Aymé (1902-1967) et la présence des nombreux « faits d’oralité » à l’œuvre ou mis en œuvre. L’approche ethnocritique de ces récits permet de croiser une poétique du romanesque et une anthropologie du symbolique. Nous nous appuyons tout d’abord sur la théorie du « roman parlant » liée à l’entre-deux guerres, période même de l’arrivée de Marcel Aymé dans le champ littéraire. Nous cartographions ensuite la présence et la conscience de la raison graphique en observant les jeux et enjeux d’une écriture composite. En effet, nous percevons à la fois les échos intertextuels avec la littérature classique mais aussi un intérêt pour d’autres formes de langages littéraires et cinématographiques.

In the central part of this analysis the characters are studied in the perspective of their search for identity and of their way of coming to terms with the public and social systems with which they are confronted through events involving their civil status (marriage, death, etc.). Their relationship with the image and power of numeracy is another important dimension of the complex dynamics of this search for identity. The voices that one hears in the narration, public or private, individual or collective, consensual or dissenting, are examined for the clues they yield concerning the cultural tensions present within the communities represented in the novels. The last part of the thesis examines the conflict and convergence between literacy as a “habitus” and the living traces of orality as they appear in the novels of the corpus (Brûlebois, Aller retour, La Table-aux-Crevés).

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Cette étude propose de questionner les correspondances entre l’architecture apparente ou non des premiers romans de Marcel Aymé (1902-1967) et la présence des nombreux « faits d’oralité » à l’œuvre ou mis en œuvre. L’approche ethnocritique de ces récits permet de croiser une poétique du romanesque et une anthropologie du symbolique. Nous nous appuyons tout d’abord sur la théorie du « roman parlant » liée à l’entre-deux guerres, période même de l’arrivée de Marcel Aymé dans le champ littéraire. Nous cartographions ensuite la présence et la conscience de la raison graphique en observant les jeux et enjeux d’une écriture composite. En effet, nous percevons à la fois les échos intertextuels avec la littérature classique mais aussi un intérêt pour d’autres formes de langages littéraires et cinématographiques. L’attention particulière à la voix narrative, le recours au burlesque et à l’ironie participent à la compréhension des choix esthétiques du jeune romancier et au style culturel de ces romans. Au centre de cette analyse, les personnages sont interrogés dans leur quête d’identité et dans leurs façons d’être en prise avec des systèmes étatiques et sociaux qui se concrétisent en particulier dans l’état-civil.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Mirrors and Vanities is a multi-modal collection which showcases the diversity of working in long and short storytelling forms. Featured in this thesis are fiction, nonfiction, graphic narrative, and screenplay. Using unconventional approaches to storytelling in order to achieve emotional resonance with the audience while maintaining high standards for craft, these stories and essays explore the costs inherent to the subtle nuances of interpersonal relationships. The fiction focuses on the complications of characters keeping secrets. A husband discovers the truth behind his wife's miscarriage. A girl visits her fiance in purgatory. A boy crosses a line and loses his best friend. Meanwhile, the nonfiction centers on self-discovery and gender roles associated with power struggles. A schizophrenic threatens to ruin my mother's wedding. I rediscover my relationship with my father through food writing. Sword-work teaches me to fail and succeed at making martial art. The title work of the thesis is a collaged story highlighting the tribulations of a physicist fixated on recovering his lost love by manipulating the multiverse. The multi-modal format implicates the nebulosity of physics theories and how different aspects of the narrative can be presented in various formats to best suit the nature of the storytelling. Through the interactions of characters in mundane and extraordinary circumstances, the works in this thesis examine the consequences of choice, the contrast between reality and expectation, coming of age, and the Truth of narrative.M.F.A.
