Lopez-Burette, Marion. "Tristram Shandy ou l'identité en question." Paris 7, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA070032.
Full textRelying on the novel Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne, the PhD insists on seeing literature as the starting point of the 18 th century's philosophical interest in the concept of identity. After Locke and with Hume, man can no longer rely on identity for stability. This triggers distress, partially soothed by writing one's life, an attempt to question the nature of an elusive individuality. As we are concerned here with the mock-autobiographic genre, we first logically endeavour to answer the question : "who am I ?". The enquiry is given further implications when reiterated by an implicit reader who functions as a kind of impediment, meddling with the textual space in order to figure the stranger every individual has to do with and imposing reassessment. It follows that the concept of identity is scrutinized from the "you" point of view, asking the question "who are you ?". The Other is disturbing, for it is in the attempt to say oneself that the self is diluted. However, portraying ones singularity is also the only way to reach a better understanding of oneself. The third turning point of the reflection is thus concerned with all that, in everyday life, nourishes this identity. It insists on the efficiency of the roundabout way and of apparently trifling details, leading to Tristram's indefinitely unfolding, in the manner of an origami. But time, be it a literary or a human time, never fully encapsulates a personality. Identity, when individual, eludes writing. In the end, it has to be apprehended at the level of the humanity, in something that Kant would have called "transcendental", making the reference to humanity necessary in the definition of the concept of identity

Full textThe thesis deals with Tristram Shandy from the point of view of the philosophy of language, viewing the text as a linguistic object of analysis. It is an investigation of the use of language in the novel. The first chapter shows the organization of the characters' utterances, and emphasizes their inability to communicate with each other. A second chapter broadens the scope and shows, through the utterances of the narrator, Tristram's linguistic kinship with the other characters. The third, more theoretical, chapter deals with the general breakdown of communication within the framework of the novel and shows its consequences upon the nature of the text. The last chapter places the whole analysis within the context of eighteenth century linguistics and tries to underline the new approaches introduced by the novel

Full textLaurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy remains an oddity, well over two hundred years after the author’s death. This thesis explores the relationship between the text and a corpus of illustrations to Tristram Shandy from 1760 to 1817. Illustrations that are offsprings of Sterne’s text are also rooted in each artist’s aesthetic response. Those images are moreover closely related to the book trade and changes in print culture in the last decades of the eighteenth century. The first part deals with the impact of illustrations, namely how those images migrate from a model to imitations and new creations. A fundamental pattern of circularity is established between the verbal and the visual to see how the images bear traces of text in a variety of ways. The analysis in the second part draws on the notion of variability, whether in format of the book or within the narrative. This thesis argues that prints which accompany the text deflect the reader’s interpretation and reception. Furthermore, there is a mutually mirroring effect on both the text and the images. Although a kind of perfect harmony between the two medium may seem appealing, text and image do not dovetail. The argument aims at pinpointing paradoxical features of that relationship, more so when it comes to illustrating a text as zany and fluctuating as Tristram Shandy

Full textThis thesis aims to explore the idea of the existence of a novel of nonlinearity, through an inspection of the criticism and the comparative analysis of four works considered as belonging to this tradition (The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, by Laurence Sterne; Pale Fire, by Vladimir Nabokov; Life, a User’s Manual (La vie mode d’emploi), by Georges Perec; and House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski).The first chapter postulates the thesis of two traditions in the history of the novel: the tradition of the realist novel, and a tradition distinguished by the use of nonlinear forms. In order to support this thesis, I’ll take into account studies about the reflexive tradition of the novel, about chaos theory as applied to literature, about the margins of the text, about the reading experience, and about intertextuality.On the basis of this examination, the second chapter outlines a definition of the novel of nonlinearity, which includes a repertoire of the literary devices and themes common to this tradition, and a reflection about its perspectives upon the world and human identity.The third chapter is dedicated to the analyses of the texts included in the corpus. The four novels are analyzed for their distinctive features, and also in the aim of verifying the premise of the existence of a novel of nonlinearity. Drawing on numerous examples selected from the novels, these analyses are structured in eight sections: the problem of beginning; intertextuality; the complexity of life narratives; the issues of interruption, procrastination and absence; the approaches to time; the approaches to language; the theme of the game; and the impossibility of an ending
