Le, Guen Jean-Michel. "Champs textuel et sémantique des Chimères de Nerval." Paris 4, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA040038.
Full textThe first part of this thesis attempts to methodically define a corpus of texts which totally resemble one or another of the poels in Nerval's Chimeres. Working on the assumption that coupling texts from different volumes written by Nerval is justified only in cases where the two structures may be superimposed, I discovered fewer doublets in Les Filles du feu than in Voyage en Orient, Les Illuminés and Aurelia. I therefore had good grounds for broadening my of the book of sonnets, les Chimeres (though it is in itself of considerable importance), in order to complete the semantic field which is divided between life and death, and which branches out into dichotomies. The moral world can be deduced from the physical world, even down to its hierarchy of dramas (religion, politics, society and family) - in which the analysis of energy whether immanent or transcendent, attractive or not in relation to another source of energy, might be used to define figures of fire (or even figures of darkness) names in les Chimeres and which will be classified in a third field, a narrative one, which is prepared by this thesis

Full textThis work intends to replace the way Nerval’s syncretism operates in a poetic perspective. Indeed these mythological configurations generate a specific and lyrical writing. Although in Aurelia and Les Chimères the different levels of rewriting, from the most minute to the most complete, are constructed differently depending on the textual environment, these modes of appearances of myth merge so as to question the subject and stage its quest of the self. Nerval’s lyricism feeds on the narrative and symbolic dynamics of actualisations in order to come out of the autarkical and static expression of feelings. For the paradoxical convergence of both myth, or universal narrative, and lyricism, or representation of the personal affect, occurs within a precise esthetic project. The aim is to call generic and linguistic categories into question and rediscover Orpheus’song : a speech which, liberated from its shackles, relays the voices of the world

Full textIn 1943, g. De n. Set out for a long journey in the east. He hoped that travel in a sacred land would give him access to the deepest secrets of human destiny through an initiation to nature, religion, society, myths, women. . . The main stages of that initiative journey were egypt, lebanon and finally turkey. To become integrated in that orient. , he fused into a vast syncretism the tenets of islam, christianism, drusism, esoterism. But the journey proved a failure for he didn't manage to reach the essence of what he imagined the orient to be. It ended without bringing a revalation, initiation didn't reach its final stage : renaissance transformation

Full textThe thesis is a study of Leo Burckart. Leaned heavily on the research of historical documents, it provides the version written in 1838 by Dumas and Nerval, and the minutes of censorship, and the entire press articles on the performances. Based on the appropriate accounts of Gerard de Nerval, it solves or attempts to resolve certain issues related to the text, to know the exact number of performances, the scenery, the chorus (Arndt, and Körner and Weber), the initiation rite of Waldeck and it reveals the source of some of the texts that accompany the volume edition of 1839, finally, she locates a copy of the Spanish edition. For a comparative work on both versions 1838 and 1839, scene by scene, it offers a historical, political, literary and aesthetic Nervalian on writing. It contains a list of over eight hundred newspapers and periodicals reflecting the activity of the Parisian press for the year 1839

Full textWe have used Rousseau's Reveries du promeneur solitaire as foundation text in our research. Our corpus is comprised of two works by Gerard de Nerval: Sylvie and Promenades et Souvenirs, as well as George Sand's Lettres d'un voyageur; included also are some exerpts of her Correspondance.
We discovered that the experience of Nerval's "promenade" equates to a quest for the past, for freedom and for Nature. He also seeks to escape mental sickness, the burden threatening his inspiration.
In George Sand's works, the "promenade" becomes an activity allowing one to overcome familial and sentimental chagrin, a means of regaining a taste for life.
In the conclusion we compared the characteristics of the theme as illustrated by both authors, and brought to light their respective peculiarities.

Full textThe object of this work consists mainly in tracing, through a formal method, the developement of the composition and publication of nerval's poetic texts verse-forms from 1835 to 1855; particularly studying his specific use of the sonnet form, which he started writing in 1841, the first examples probably dating from march to november of that year. The style of his poetic texts verse-forms published during these years are first examined; the transcription and publication of his sonnets are then inserted chronologically into the overall scheme of his texts. Thus his sonnets are present in order of their transcription and publication, with their description and analysis from different points of view (verse, strophe, poem and group of poems). His poetic style of sonnet is thus elucidated : concentration et combination. Finally, his sonnets are situated formally, and provisionally, in the overall scheme of our research of the french sonnet as published in the first-half of the nineteenth century (1800-1857). The history of the publication of this style of poem during these years is sketched out in an overall form and the results of their description, applied to a part of our corpus, and presented. Different styles of the sonnet form amongst other authors, representative of the period, are examined in comparaison to the poetic style used by nerval

Full textThe texts by nerval which present religeous principles and the theophanies of the goddess isis have been written in a state of great personnal dissaray. Those writings are a sort of melting-pot in which the elements and the variants of the myth of isis are nearly all contained, but they are so in a distorted perspective, showing his difficulty to speak about isis and the necessity to oppose it against a power preventing him to say : christianty. Nerval interprets isis as the emblematic figure beyond human condition, in a movement which is supported by the mythical memory creating the future. His figure of isis shows the signs of certain era and nerval takes them in the large stock of archetyps and mutations of history. The are essentially the model standards on egypte, the orient ans isis. These examples give him the possibility to define a psychological situation on the belief in immortality and a cyclic representation of time
Got, Delphine. "Le système de l'œuvre de Gérard de Nerval : le Texte et sa dimension figurative." Rennes 2, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004REN20024.
Full textThe work of Nerval, because it is profoundly linked to the life of the author, is approached by the autobiographical materials which constitute it. The multiplication of descriptions developing on the pictorial mode, characterize this attempt to translate the pictures into words and the words into pictures. Starting with the movement of semiose, the tropes indicate a form of multi directional reading. Unveiling its own mechanisms of composition by the metatextual value maintained by its components, the text introduces itself to the reader responsible for reconstructing it. The obliquity of the intra-textual connections, the reproduction of the same principles in its different levels, the reoccurence at the heart of which the text builds itself, are drawn in the text with the images of the circle and of the spiral, which intervene like metaphors of its function. The semiotique skein which frees the act of reading traces the circular corridors of the labyrinth navigated by the reader
Taguchi, Aki. "Recherche de l'autre et conquête de soi le "Voyage en Orient" de Nerval." Paris 4, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA040330.
Full textThe present thesis examines the process of literary construction of the Orient of Gérard de Nerval, seen as a meeting place with the other and a stage of self-conquest. Gérard de Nerval wrote, rewrote, and reworked many times the texts that became later the Voyage en Orient. Originally published as a series of articles from 1840 to 1850, partially published as a separate volume in 1848, when the Voyage en Orient appeared in full in 1851, it was a new work. Nerval invents travel-fiction : more than ten years had passed between the real journeys, made in 1839-1840 and in 1842-1843, and the publication of the Voyage en Orient, first as a series of articles, then as a separate volume. The main part of the present thesis starts with the first publications and goes until the Voyage en Orient proper, to which Nerval, after having published an intermediate version of Scènes de la vie orientale, gave a new and subtly unclassifiable form of the travel tale. The thesis is divided into two parts, which correspond to the geography of the narrated journey. The Occidental part, from Paris via Switzerland and Austria (Vienna) to Greece (the islands), serves as an introduction to the Oriental part, from Egypt (Cairo) through Lebanon (Beirut) until Turkey (Constantinople). The thesis aims at demonstrating that, and how, Nerval's subsequent literary work took root in the long development of the Voyage en Orient
Andreani, Elisabetta. "Heinrich Heine : traductions et mises en musique en France et en Italie." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015SACLE018/document.
Full textThe thesis intends to illustrate the Heine “phenomenon” in France and in Italy from around 1850 to 1950, from both a literary as well as a musical point of view. Heine enjoyed a privileged relationship with France. He arrived in Paris in 1831 and established the French capital as his home until his death in 1856. The poet had countless translators in both France and Italy and many were the poets and writers who were influenced by his ideas and his poetry. Many composers composed romances and melodies for his works. This thesis intends therefore to study the role and the impact of the translators and musicians who were won over by the genius of the German musician. The translators began very early to publish their own versions in the numerous Parisian revues, right up to the publication of the Lyrisches Intermezzo by Gérard de Nerval in the “Revue de Deux Mondes” in 1848. The composers would follow this tendency some years later and would set to music Heine’s poetry, especially in the years from around 1870 to 1930

Full textThis thesis undertakes to investigate the meaning of nervalian prose in its problematic relationship with the imaginary and with poetry. This analysis, which deals with all of nerval's works, simultaneously takes two complementary approaches : - on the one hand, it examines the texts from within, attempting to combine the methods of psychoanalysis, of thematic reading, and of poetics, in order to show how an unconscious of the text is able to unfold in the imaginary landscape of the page, by taking shape in the thematic and textual process of writing enacted by the "dreamer in prose". - on the other hand, it adopts a diachronic perspective, which locates nerval's texts not only in the ideological contex t of the period in which they were produced, but also in the development of their own particular history, attempting to grasp its rythm and its inner meaning. From romanticism to modernity, it becomes apparent that nerval's writing invents a singular path which, eluding the new laws of modern "reason", deconstructs and exceeds the established bounds of form, - and gives utterance in prose to an infinite longing for poetry
Le, Denmat Loïc. "Gérard de Nerval et le platonisme." Thesis, Paris 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA030114.
Full textThis study claims to explore the relationships between Nerval's work and thought on one hand, and Platonism on the other. We will consider Platonism both in terms of the distinctive ideas and representations in Plato's philosophy, and evenly so in terms of a platonic tradition that has unfolded in many forms. Nerval's work reveals in abounding ways the continuity linking romanticism to Platonism, both in the realms of the imaginary and in the understanding of the world. Indeed, a platonic mindset constantly appears between the lines of Nerval's writing. The metaphysical landscapes succeeding one another in the oeuvre, along with Nerval's fields of imagination carry its trace. The author has constantly drawn upon the sources of this erudite knowledge, be it philosophical, theological, or esoteric, to nourish his own thought, adding to it as to a rich and immense architecture where places, times, characters and patterns mingle into an intimate poetry. This study will successively address questions bearing to Nerval's relation to History, to a series of motifs characteristic of a platonic imagination, and to interactions between literary activity and life in its reality

Full text"Les Illuminés, ou les Précurseurs du socialisme" (1852) is a compendium of six portraits, each one depicting an "excentrique de la philosophie", who is neither an "illuminé", nor a "socialist". Readers are often surprised by "Les Illuminés", because the book refuses rigidly set categorisations, and also because of its heterogeneous composition. Mostly based on secondary sources, these writings are literary patchworks made up of quotations, on the verge of plagiarism. They remain, to this day, little-known by Nervalian critics. But reading carefully each portrait reveals the sharpness of Nerval's interrogations on History and historical time. Our aim is, first, to draw up and interpret "Les Illuminés"'s file. We shall do this by examining the various books and documents quoted or refered to by Nerval. Moreover, we shall contextualize each portrait, which will be put back in the historical context of its publication date. This will allow us to weigh up how much Nerval shared with his contemporaries, and to what extent he had the same political, social, religious or literary concerns. Finally, by linking up "Les Illuminés" with Nerval's other works, we shall try to bring out the signification and the reach of this literary resurrection of the past. Three threads of thought are developed in these writings : the political, the religious and the historical one, in the aftermath of the French Revolution. By placing himself against the rupture of modern History, Nerval suggests that another time remains : it is the time of Limbos, which preserves a possible survival of dreams, unsuccessfully completed in the past, but still fertile for the future

Full textTwo trends in this study : on the one hand, the analysis of the way nerval' "i" and eastern otherness meet, on the hand the confrontation of the representaiton and the stakes of this encounter with the form it assumes in other works pertraining to "orientophily" of the nineteenth century. The study of the dialectics between identity selfsameness and otherness, under the specific guise it takes with the encounter of the east, constitutes the first axis of research. Thus we endeavour to tag and to analyse the problematic figures (for instance the one of the black slave woman) as well as the most subtle incarnations in nerval's textuality (so we are lead to put forward the notions of "threshold" and "puzzlement", associated to the constitution and discussion of the eastern strangeness) of this otherness. In the course of the chapters, we shall examine the repositionning of the story and of the narrator around from about this repreesentation of eastern otherness and its ability to destabilise the selfsameness of the "i"; we shall then discuss the notions of wandering and chimera. By the same token, and within the framework of what must appear as an instrumental comparison, aiming at singling out of the journey in the east, this is punctually confronted to other texts works, within the framework of a reflexion that deflects towards an attempt to redefine the notions of exotism and foreign parts

Full textThe chronological study of the first publications of Voyage en Orient and Lorely. Souvenirs d'Allemagne, spaced between 1838 and 1852, change the perception that we have on Gérard de Nerval. It permits one especially to understand the text according to a specific " horizon d'attente " : that of his first readers who discover the articles of journey in the journal and read them according to the temporary context, which is not a context of the two collections composed in the 1850ies. It is in this momentary actuality of the texts that we try to clarify it. Therefore, the texts gain richness on historical signification, which is not recognized until now ; we see Nerval use the stereotype, - not in order to confirm them ( even though they might make it easy for readers), but to divert them and find a singular way to his proper creation. This faculty of Nerval's writing to adapt the context where the text works is very accurate in the accounts of the journey, because " Journey " is a referential genre. On one hand, when it is a question of trips in the north such as Germany, Belgium or Holland, the writing does not appear to quit this real world. On the other hand, Greek and the Orient, world of mythological and historical souvenirs, request another style of writing, writing which recalls "another place " through a realistic dimension. Hence, the journey is for Nerval the occasion to describe the reality of this time in its historical value. It is important for us to reconstruct the successive and momentary contexts of Nervals writings, in order to explicit their significance in history
Arcemisbéhère, Rémy. "Le travail des sources dans l’œuvre de Gérard de Nerval." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020SORUL123.
Full textFor Gérard de Nerval, the notion of source can have different meanings (it can have a literary, a geographical or a temporal one). Our hypothesis is that the dispersions in the sources of Gérard de Nerval, both formal and thematic, are related thanks to his specific way of writing. Our goal is not to list every single source that the poet used but to elucidate the true meaning behind his resort to someone else’s text and what this implies for literature itself. We base this thesis on a reflection on genetics and philology in order to measure what Gérard de Nerval read and how much he took from it and we use the tools developed by the theorists of intertextuality. We first characterize, using all the means of literary history, the way Nerval and people of his time have considered the notion of source whether aesthetic, political or cultural. Next, we analyze the textual presence of the sources, showing that the need to quote changes Nerval’s ways regarding play, poetry, or storytelling. Last, we try to give a definition of source poetics by showing how the projection into other texts constitutes an original way to bring new meanings

Recognizing to be himself "in debt" to Gerard de Nerval, this study purposed numbering the traces of Nerval in Gracq's work, they brought more to light : some affinities in their poetical imaginary, so that the reading of Gracq's work increases by the knowledge of Nerval's ; it keeps growing with the hollow - inscribed text on which the author rewrites his own, similar to a palimpsest where the effaced texts would be unumerable, which gives Gracq's text plenty of signs and significations for Nerval is inscribed these among many other writers. There are a few troubling similitudes between Julien Gracq's king Cophetua and G. De Nerval' Sylvie which motivated this study

Full textNerval deliberately made his profession as a man of letters, which he carried on with full awareness, toward a type of narrative that would enable him to express his own personality. This quest becomes relevant through the different forms of the narratives he tested (he went through all the possibilities they offered and blurred the boarder between them), through a dual shift that lead to both the unicity of the condensed narrative and the make up of various units that combine former works, and through the slow and difficult conquest on a inventive autobiographical way of writing. Through his technical novelties, nerval can be considered as one of the fore-runners to most updated studies on the narrative

Full textThis study focuses on the narrative processes of travel story of Nerval, in terms of intertextuality and autobiography. In the first part, we discuss of the travel story in general, with a focus on the subjective and autobiographical literary travel : its special status as literary genre, its chronological develpment, its forms, its intertextuality and its autobiographical nature. In the second part, we study specificity of the travel story of Nerval on the narrative level, that of intertextuality and that of autobiographical writing, according to diffrents types of Nerval’s travels : realistic travel (Voyage en Orient, Lorely), eccentric travel (Les Faux Saulniers), parodic travel (Les Nuits d’octobre), autobiographical travel (Promenades et Souvenirs) and interior travel (Aurélia). Finally, in the third part, we analyse the poetics of travel writing of Nerval in the context of the modernity of his writing, considering the mixture of forms, the intertextual practices (reference, rewriting and reorganzation), the originality of fanciful traveler, the poetic and dialogic stroy and realistic writing

Full textThis thesis aims to examine the representation of the "Orient", in French travel literature in the first nineteenth century. It invites to detailed analysis for the six travel histories of the "Orient", which we have chosen. The objective is to determine the status of these trips, the motivations, the conditions, the risks, the followed routes, the means of transport used at the time as well as the views of travel writers of the region, their impressions and feelings. It's also to know how the "Orient", the "Other" fascinating for Westerners, was presented in French literature of the Romanticism century. Following Bonaparte's expedition to the "Orient" in the early nineteenth century which opens the way to the region, many of the French travelers who searching of exoticism have led to the "Orient". On their return, they began to write and publish their diaries, their stories, notes. . . Etc. The literary, artistic and cultural manifestation unprecedented born in France, giving rise to the so-called «Orientalism». The present study shows, on the one hand, that the literature is produced by the imagination of the "Orient" with wealth equal to the disciplines that have been preferred so far by studies of the “Orient”, and on the other, that there is a need to open a dialogue between literature and the Eastern knowledge. So, this thesis evokes the singularity of the meeting between the world of eastern knowledge and the reader

Full textWhy present a thesis on Rabelais in 2012? Clearly, at first sight, we no longer need to showcase a writer who has undoubtedly earned his place in our Pantheon as one of the "fathers" of French literature. Yet, our whole thesis is based on the premise that there is a pressing need to revitalise Rabelais in our literary consciousness. Readers neglect his work – often led to believe that it is unintelligible or outdated – and the trend in the most stimulating of critical studies is to reject Rabelais and his era into the non-literary sphere. This is what the rare studies of how the writer was received show : they suggest that, aside from a series of one-off replications or substandard imitations, the author is not really a source of inspiration to modern writers – his legacy has come up against "misunderstanding" and has even bafflingly been "distorted". In short, in our modern age, Rabelais' work is insidiously identified as part of our heritage, rather than literary matter or a subject for literary study capable of inspiring critics and writers. If, in 2012, against our better judgment, we are tempted to concur with Céline's bitter conclusions: that Rabelais "failed in his design ". What should we do about it? The aim of our thesis on the "sons of Rabelais" is to challenge this damming conclusion, by considering successively Nerval’ and Apollinaire’ cases. Through a rehabilitation of the notion of a literary descendant or “son”, we will show that there is a clear thread between Rabelais and modern literature, and that in the 21st century, his work can still, and always still, succeed in attracting debate and discussion – inspiring fresh critical thought. Keywords : Rabelais – Nerval – Apollinaire – filiation – reception – posterity – analogy – manner

We do make the hypothesis that it sets up a real literary project, that can be examined by focusing on its concatenations (the motives). We will therefore include the previous works of Gérard de Nerval (Aurélia) and August Strindberg (Inferno and Legends) in the purpose to explore our second hypothesis that the objective chance could be assigned to a precise period (around 1850-1950). What is the significance of this objective chance writing project ? How can we understand such multiformity in the text production and grasp their deep and coherent articulation ? We will be assisted by other literary or philosophical works (of wich Proust), and specifically thoses, surprisingly pertinent, of Walter Benjamin

Full textWhen the authentic, or fictitious dream intervenes in the literary text, the vast inconscious question imposes itself. The literary implementation of the dream testifies, not only the interest in the inconscious part of man and his imagination, but also his fruitful links with reality : like reciprocity (exchange), continuity or rupture. These links, make all the dynamic « dream story » of the 19 th/ 20 th centuries. The dream like narration is part of the broader aesthetic, which, in all respects, breaks with progressivism and the supremacy of real, by establishing poetics of the improbable. Thus, chahracters, spaces, time derogate from the usual, (normative), building a different world that does not fail to recall the mythological universe. It is above all, to reflect on the adventure of the literary dream, traversing the different literary and aesthetic movements and enbodying a mirror that reflects the thougts, reflections, poetics of Gérard de Nerval, Théophile Gautier, Jules Supervielle and Michel Leiris
Mugnier, Vincent. "Chaos et création dans le Voyage en Orient de Gérard de Nerval." Thesis, La Réunion, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LARE0039/document.
Full textThe aim of our research has been to demonstrate methodically, following a narratological approach, that the effect of unity achieved in Nerval’s narrative work lies in the fixity of its syntactic structure. In this context, the choice of ‘Voyage en Orient’ to support such an argument might seem paradoxical: enshrined as it is in the largely uncodified genre of the Orient travel, it is subject to all manner of shifts. Yet, it is possible to identify a logical unity behind the surface proliferation, proof that the more Nerval conceals himself, the more he reveals himself. Consequently our consideration has been focused on developing this synergic dimension associating unity with disparity according to three complementary modalities. In the first instance: a syntactic dialectic which articulates the fixity of a single narrative phrase to variables of adjustment while ensuring renewal. Secondly: an actantial dialectic linking the unity of a psychodrama of identity to a series of autofictional modulations. Thirdly: the dynamic of a hermeneutical arc in which the fact of a pathological psyche finds, on the one hand, the beginnings of an understanding in the narrative configuration and, on the other hand, a form of sublimatory quest in a singular poetic art, namely literary rhapsody. Ambiguity moreover of an incomplete narrativity: how can one speak of narrative with a fragmentary text rejecting all idea of closure? Indeed is there any wonder that one should be dealing with such incompleteness when the relativist Oriental utopia of the ‘healing of hearts’ finds it hard, in a psychoanalytical light, to hide an illusory attempt to circumvent the universal taboo of incest?
Kekus, Filip. "Nerval fantaisiste." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040173.
Full textThe works of Gérard de Nerval have mainly been regarded as the output of an irremediably melancholic, if not insane poet. However strongly established by his contemporaries, his fanciful inspiration, though occasionally mentioned, has never been subjected to thorough investigation. The ambition of this study is to rectify this rather intriguing omission. Delving into the fancy of the author of « Les Chimères » and of Aurélia, rather than denying Nerval’s madness, consists in assessing its connection with a fancy expressive of the highest romantic aspirations, as well as challenging customary interpretations that concluded in the isolation of an author’s writings, in spite of his own repeated assertions of lucidity. Probing Nerval’s fancy amounts to questioning the aesthetic, socio-political and ethical stakes of works imbued with whimsical cheerfulness, always bent on facing reality and eager to re-establish a literary communication that was then going through a critical period

Full text« Dream is a second life », Gérard de Nerval writes. « I have never been able to cross through those gates of ivory or horn which separate us from the invisible world without a sense of dread ». He sees dream and real life as asunder though parallel compartments, while Juliusz Słowacki sees them a continuum, without precise boundary where one ends and the other begins. But they do agree on one point: poetry and dream are intimately united.Juliusz Słowacki’s Król-Duch and Nerval’s Aurélia have in common to be oneiric biographies, i.e. written from naked truth as revealed in dreams, where « life is free of space and time ». The outcome is well-nigh as disconnected and incoherent as dream itself. Words cannot represent adequately heavens opened. It is somewhat uncanny that, in both cases, the fragments of the « infeasible book » look like an initiation into sacred mysteries

Full textTravel in Egypt is an old dream shared by travellers since the beginning of the XVIIIth century and encouraged by philosophical and political writtings. Volney and Potocki, sons of the Enlightenment, travel in the East to check the truthfulness of their readings and to pave the way to european spreads. In the nineteenth century, a few Romantics like Chateaubriand and Nerval travel to discover this mythic Orient, where recollections of civilisation and history mingle with a quest of identity. As for Fromentin, who comes from the pictural art, he attempts to reveal with his nib and paintbrush, the light and the colours of this Orient. Do these writers-voyagers research the mythic Orient or their own identity?
Moioli, Aurélie. "Le récit de soi : poétique et politique de la dissemblance : Jean Paul, Ugo Foscolo, Stendhal, Gérard de Nerval." Thesis, Paris 10, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA100151.
Full textThe thesis takes up the question of autobiography by focusing on works at the margins of the genre during the early 19th century, the period in which autobiographical writing in Europe came into its own. The works of Jean Paul, Ugo Foscolo, Stendhal and Gérard de Nerval destabilize established generic and canonic categories. They do so by pointing to the ethical and political issues at stake in the narration of the self, which are in turn linked to the experience of the subject and of time. The thesis thereby identifies and explores another autobiographical “line” emerging alongside canonical forms of the genre, a “line” which recalls Laurence Sterne through the use of arabesques and the reliance upon imagination in life narratives. These works emphasize the “line of poetry” which constitutes life and the subject. The poetics of these eccentric autobiographical works explores dissemblance in writing the self, time, and history. They question reductive understandings of identity as ‘sameness’ and conceptions of time as homogenous. The self is not ‘one’; the autobiographer is alone neither in his body, nor in his language, nor in the act of writing. Rather, he is in constant movement between places and languages, unable to establish a stable grounding for his narrative. The author’s persona is multiple and collective, inverting the myth of the romantic genius. Such transfigurations of the self are tied to transfigurations of memory, which allow for the past to be reenacted in the present and for the future. This melancholic experience is also one of haunting, for narratives of the self draw on the figure of the phantom as a sign of mourning for both personal and historical disjunctions. As witnesses of recent or contemporary revolutions, the autobiographers stress the incomplete nature of both individual and collective history, that is, the potential that such history contains. Narrating the self is therefore prospective; it is memory addressing the future
