Strauven, Iwan Aldo. "Victor Bourgeois, 1897-1962: radicaliteit en pragmatisme, moderniteit en traditie." Doctoral thesis, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2013/ULB-DIPOT:oai:dipot.ulb.ac.be:2013/209054.
Full textL’étude se présente en deux parties :un catalogue raisonné qui offre une vision complète des projets réalisés et non réalisés, ainsi qu’un commentaire et une courte bibliographie par projet. Ceci constitue la seconde partie, le premier volume étant consacré à un essai lui aussi divisé en deux parties. La première rassemble toute l’information disponible dans la littérature consacrée aux années de formation et à la carrière internationale de l’architecte, augmentée de quelques corrections et additions importantes. La seconde explore, sur la base de trois textes clefs, les trois champs d’action par lesquels Bourgeois a donné corps à son engagement social :l’urbanisme, l’architecture et l’éducation.
Il est question dans un premier temps de la forme qu’a pris l’engagement social de Victor Bourgeois à travers son œuvre construite. Cette interrogation s’appuie sur les écrits de Bourgeois à ce sujet. Sa réflexion sur la dimension sociale de sa profession est en permanente évolution et se construit autour de termes tels que :« l’art social », « le rendement de l’architecture », « la rationalisation de l’architecture », « la neutralité urbaine, », « la paix plastique », et « le civisme ». Ces concepts sont ici confrontés à quelques-uns de ses projets parmi les plus importants. Les interprétations successives que fait Bourgeois de cette dimension sociale de l’architecture moderne ont pour effet une érosion progressive de sa signification. Cette évolution ne le conduit pas nécessairement à une vision purement technocratique de l’architecture. Après-guerre, ses différentes pensées convergent dans deux textes aux titres révélateurs :De l’architecture au temps d’Erasme à l’humanisme social de notre architecture (1947) et L’architecte et son espace (1955).
Dans un second temps, cette thèse retrace la figure de l’urbaniste moderne tel qu’il émerge dans la pensée et la pratique urbanistique de Bourgeois. Alors qu’il était initialement proche des théories socio-biologiques (d’orientation esthétique) de Louis Van der Swaelmen, la figure de l’urbaniste en tant qu’organisateur apparaît progressivement dans ses textes :“L’architecte n’est plus ramené seulement à un rôle de dessinateur ou d’ingénieur, il devient un organisateur de toutes les valeurs utiles.” Et ailleurs: “L’urbaniste est un chef d’orchestre :il doit organiser et hiérarchiser cent, mille instruments différents.” C’est à la fin des années ’30 que la finalité sociale de la pratique urbanistique trouve sa formulation la plus explicite :“L’urbanisme ajuste l’espace au progrès social.” Ses projets urbanistiques des années 30 oscillent entre l’approche architecturo-urbanistique de Ludwig Hilberseimer, le modèle de ville linéaire de Nikolaï Miljutin et les théories du 19e siècle de Patrick Geddes et Paul Otlet. Ses prises de positions radicales aboutiront souvent, sur le terrain, à des solutions pragmatiques.
Enfin, dans un troisième temps, la dissertation thématise l’enseignement de Bourgeois. De ses premiers écrits, dans lesquels il défend les propositions de Victor Horta pour la réforme de l’Académie, jusqu’à sa retraite forcée de l’Institut d’Architecture La Cambre (quelques semaines avant sa mort), l’enseignement de l’architecture a été une préoccupation centrale pour Bourgeois. C’est ici que sa réflexion se manifeste le plus explicitement et qu’elle a été – comme il est souvent répété – la plus fertile. L’objectif est double :D’une part nous avons prêté attention à sa réflexion et au développement de sa carrière à l’ISAD-La Cambre ;d’autre part, nous proposons d’éclairer la complexité de sa figure à l’aide d’œuvres d’un certain nombre de ses ‘disciples’ qui revendiquent tous Bourgeois comme leur ‘père spirituel’, et qui ont chacun thématisé un aspect de sa ‘doctrine’ dans leur travail respectif.
La question en filigrane relève du domaine de la critique architecturale :Quelle est l’approche de Bourgeois? Comment s’est-elle incarnée dans ses projets (réalisés ou non réalisés)? Et enfin, quelles problématiques en constituent le fondement? Plus profondément, en dehors de l’évidente importance d’une documentation extensive et systématique du travail de cette figure majeure du modernisme Belge, ce questionnement a pour ambition d’évaluer le poids et l’importance du travail de Bourgeois. Pourquoi devrions-nous même en discuter encore aujourd’hui? Quelle est la pertinence de son approche au regard de la situation contemporaine?
La méthode de recherche utilisée est double. D’une part la thèse est basée sur l’histoire de la réception critique de l’œuvre construite et écrite de Bourgeois. Cette méthode permet d’isoler partiellement le travail (sous tous ses aspects) de l’accumulation d’interprétations dont il a fait l’objet jusqu’ici, et de nous faire prendre conscience de la trop grande simplicité des conclusions auxquelles elles ont souvent mené. D’autre part, la recherche est basée sur une étude comparative de la théorie et de la pratique :les écrits et les bâtiments. Quels effets concrets peut avoir une position théorique sur un projet, et vice versa, que peut nous transmettre un bâtiment des intentions de son créateur?
L’essai se propose donc de tracer un portrait complexe et nuancé de Victor Bourgeois. Il y est présenté comme un moderniste qui a cherché la continuité avec la tradition, un iconoclaste radical qui est toujours resté pragmatique. Dans le cas de Bourgeois, cette ambivalence résulte à la fois d’une attitude critique et d’une fascination vis-à-vis de la ville historique. Tout au long de sa carrière, la ville a été l’enjeu principal de son architecture, de sa pensée, de ses textes, de ses voyages et de son approche. Ainsi la thèse étudie Bourgeois en tant qu’éminent représentant d’une autre tradition moderniste qui a cherché, à l’encontre de la Charte d’Athènes, la continuité avec la morphologie de ville existante.

Full textThis study deals with philosophical and literary themes. It considers, in particular, the subject's concept in the work of georges bataille, a french author, who was born in 1897 and died in 1962, and who wrote many texts about sociologicals, philosophicals and literary matters. In the first part, the thesis covers the philosophical and literary path of this author, wich leads him to collaborate, during the 20 s and the 30 s , with various writers groups to conceive his original materialism. The second part, sets the problems of the potential influence of the german philosopher martin heidegger on georges bataille, considering the similarities and the differences between the concept of heidegger's dasein, and the subject's concept in bataille. Finally, the thesis try to show that his subject's concept was built up by its close ties with the literary problems, especially, those wich concern the act of writing, being himself, at the same time, writer and a literary critic. In this context, the " fictional operation" allows the writer to affirm the singularity of his existence, if only as a precarious balance of multiple forces, and also to denounce the solipcistic illusion shunning alterity

Thévenieau, Yves. "La question du recit dans l'oeuvre de georges bataille." Lyon 2, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986LYO20017.
Full textIn his 'sur nietzsche', georges bataille himself elaborates the idea of narrative as being that which comes to the rescue of reason; its manifestation in his work is all the more pregnant with meaning for being the child of necessity. Far from being merely one among other structures to be found in his work, narrative represents a most particular double-take breaking out in the very development of the text -text suddenly lodged in its own present moment by this necessitation which in turn is there by witnessed to and little by little revealed. Hence: "if sentences have any meaning, they have it by constellating that which was seeking to be. When they cry out freely, they die of their own brillance". This term 'narrative' (recit) comes naturally as being apt to describe seven texts (those fictions which the author published in his lifetime) characterised at once as fiction and by the presence of the narrator (recitant). In order of publication, these are 'histoire de l'oeil', 'madame edwarda', 'le petit', 'la scissiparite', 'l'abbe c. ', 'le bleu du ciel' and 'l'impossible'. We begin by showing, on the basis of these texts, how narrative manifests, gradually bringing out those signs whereby narrative writing can in general be identified. In this we are not involved in the giving of any personal 'reading': the idea of 'narrative' is neutral, underlining the way in which the text constitutes its own reading, or publication of a reading. Secondly, we demonstrate this 'narrative writing' working out from an example, 'le bleu du ciel'. Finally, we consider narrative from the point of view of textual heterogeneity- a key notion for bataille, and one to which the collection of his complete works has now given its full importance

Full textA reconsideration of the traditional view of the snopes trilogy as a defence of a southem sense of a reconsideration of the traditional view of thee snopes trilogy as a defence of as a defence of a southern sense of community. The first part deals with the early developments of the snopes project : it explores the ideological background and influences behind the idea of "snopes". The early drafts ( including the unpublished " as i lay dying" short, a transcription of which is provided in appendix ) introduce a few seminal scenes, pregnant with latent meaning, together with budding confrontation between flem snopes and ratliff. While laying out the hamlet, faulkner works through the " social primal scene " which had featured the issue of community in the context of the southern "family romance. " in the second part, the community is shown to have replaced the individual as a central concern in the trilogy. In the hamlet, the village is the space in wich several visions of the social bond, mirrored in several styles, are juxtaposed. Flem snopes, not ratliff provides the missing unity of the community by introducing the " snopes economy. " the story of the town and the mansion is set in the town-community which ignores the integrity of the individual, just like the community of readers is setting its own canonical reading of faulkner's word as myth. Ultimately, faulker seeks the possibility of an "apocryphal" community with would preserve the "idiocy" of the "common" man

Full textNowadays, philosophy which has become lost among other discourses, is in the midst of dissolution. Confronted with the impossibility of analyzing the totality of the technical world, it is swallowed up by unawareness. While in the process of vanishing, it can only show the conditions of its own impossibility. Despite this pessimistic vision of the future of philosophy, we haven't resorted in our study, to scale down such a multiple and dissimilar work, as that of Bataille - which would be an act short of any philosophic signification - into a collection of biographical facts. Cinema plays a decisive role in the life and thoughts of Bataille. It has profoundly influenced his work. Above ail, we want to show this role, and in particular The Inner Experience and other writings of the Somme (so called Atheologic), as well as in the principal Posthumous Literary Works

Full textI also show that the crisis of meaning that characters in the book experience is enacted on another level. A difficult book to read because of its many textual figures of doubt, Absalom may be said to generate a crisis of interpretation in its readers. This thesis offers a way of reading the text which explores the various potential meanings of these aporias in the novel's discursive surface, and so avoids the experience of crisis, of anxiety. This method of reading is based on the mode of reading exemplified by one of the text's own characters: Shreve McCannon, who is not discouraged by the fact that neither the narratives he hears nor the speculative, hypothetical narratives he produces in response make complete and coherent sense of everything.
Kanda, Koichi. "L'inscription de la mort chez Georges Bataille." Paris 7, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA070005.
Full textTo specify the notion of death in Bataille's works, to show the evolution of his idea on this topic and to examine the way in which the death is represented in his fictions, such are the aims of this thesis. The course of his philosophy about the death is divided into three stages. Before the Second World war, Bataille aspires to death that permits to deify the human being. However, when Bataille becomes aware of the idea of the impossibility of knowing what death is really like, the mimetic death is the only way to approach death while still living. The "mortal writing", being at the same time experience of the mimetic death and its transcription, occupies a crucial place in the thought of Bataille. His literary works are based on this "mortal writing". After the war, he systematizes his philosophy of the "not-knowledge" and writes a "Universal History". The death in the thoughts of Bataille, which means especially the experience of the loss of oneself, passes thus from the psychological drama to the philosophy of the "not-knowledge"

Literature is the elaboration of this catastrophe that flings flesh in light, visceral in bright. With georges bataille we can see in corpse the pure aesthetic flesh's vision. But, in order to think the experience, it's necessary to practise an hyletic phenomenology that neutralize definitively world, being ego etc. So as to access the pure aisthesis. A radical epoche reveals the hyle as forces that constitute the gushin of experience
Iwano, Takuji. "L’expérience et la divinité chez Georges Bataille." Paris 4, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040070.
Full textWhile undertaking a revolution of value in the philosophy, the theology, the literature and the economy (experience itself, new divinity, empirical truth, general economy), the thought of Georges Bataille remains in the tradition of the metaphysics on several aspects : nudity, origin, presence, phallocentrism, dualism, domination of the literature by the truth. But in his works we can read, beyond the intention of the author, what outwits and dislocates this tradition. It is possible to pursue the two in two main aspects : experience and divinity. As for the experience, one discovers the duplication of the inside and the outside, the interplay of the nudity and the truth, the play of difference and of repetition. As for the divinity, there is multiplication of duplication, the aporia of the dualism and the totality, the play of the death. All these are at the bottom of the tradition and they are irreducible to it, opening it to the outside for its alteration
Navière, Marie-José. "William Faulkner scénariste, 1932-1945." Paris 4, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA040140.
Full textFrom 1932 to 1945, during the so-called Hollywood "golden age", William Faulkner worked as a screenwriter in four major studios: MGM, Universal, 20th Century-Fox and Warner bros. There, severe restrictions were imposed on his creativity. Whereas many talents were crushed by the requirements and the organization of the movie industry, William Faulkner managed to retain a great freedom of thought and inspiration. In many cases his scripts illuminate, extend and complicate the themes of his fiction. Turn about (1932) for example, is closely related to the sound and the fury. War bird (1932-1933) draws on two short stories and expands sartoris. Country lawyer is a family saga. All three therefore properly belong in the Yoknapatawpha couty cycle. The two other screenplays analyzed in details, the de Gaulle story (1942) and Battle cry (1943), are part of the considerable body of patriotic writing that Faulkner produced in support of the allied effort on World War II. They reveal the writer's rhetoric and philosophy as well as his craft as a screenwriter. This study not only sheds light on Faulkner’s concept of films but also shows his remarkable narrative art

Full textIs expenditure possible ? This was the question Georges Bataille encountered during the first years of the war, a question that would drive him to radically change the direction of his past reflections. After having admitted to the impossibility of expenditure, he turned in effect - thanks to Maurice Blanchot - from the " will to loss " to the " will to chance " and sought less to realize expenditure himself than to let it happen on its own. The strange writing of La Somme athéologique, should be understood in relation to this shift in perspective. In order to remain faithful to the " will to chance ", Bataille found himself simultaneously in front of the prohibition and the obligation to write, and therefore similar to the writer described by Blanchot in " De l'angoisse au langage ". The present dissertation, which puts into relief these " dramatic events " experienced by Bataille during World War II, attempts to analyze certain post-atheological and literary texts

Full textWilliam faulkner's short stories, which he regarded as pot-boilers, reveal his attachment to literary traditions, especially to the genre's conventions, to the realistic and oral traditions. Still, he deceitfully subverts these traditions and these plays with the intertext show his modernity. This modernity pervades the faulknerian text : the narrative technique, the representation of inner life mirror the chaos of modern times. Besides, the short fiction oscillates between shapelessness and formal compactness. Faulkner is yearning for the unity of a total work and his short stories constitute self-referential and intertextual constellations. By revising some myths, he wants to turn fiction into a new cosmos and to transcend the nothingness generated by modernity. In fact, although the structures and the style of his experimental short stories are definitely modern, historical modernity, which destroys nature and reifies men, is criticized by the writer. The latter is submitted to some economic constraints which lead him to denounce the dangers of materialism and mass culture. The description of the antebellum south is tinged with irony but also testifies to his conservatism, for he laments over the collapse of the chivalric tradition and a lot of characters feel nostalgic. Modern heroes and antiheroes wander in a divided world where woman often symbolizes evil. Yet, faulkner, though obsessed by purity, highlights the excesses of puritanism. Actually, this idealist rejects the nihilism that will characterize postmodernity and strives to find a code adapted to the modern world and based on the traditional values inherited from the christian and pioneer traditions
Lahouar, Fredj. "L'écriture du désir chez Georges Bataille." Rennes 2, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005REN20049.
Full textDesire is appraised by the modern poetic and philosophic discourse and it enables one to approach the unclassifiable works of Georges Bataille, in which it is the theme and the text's thoughtful logic at once. Unappeasable, excessive, violent and object-free desire is displayed through techniques of repetition, articulating the inevitability of contradiction and highlighting the heterological ambition of the author to unwrap concepts, disciplines and genres beyond their sphere. Equally a methodical option and a mode of knowledge, desire allows one to identify the act of writing with the Nietzschean category of the philosopher-artist and makes his literature a miscellanous one, producing a refractory text that transgresses the established normative codes where mingle scriptable with non-scriptable elements, such as the cry, silence, emptiness and secret. The notion of desire is at the heart of Bataille's poetic pre-requisite and is defined as the will to counteract the annulment that the systematic progression implies. Bataille equally juxtaposes the latter with the non-systematic answer that opens out the act of writing into the prospect of oblivion and sets the impossible as its ultimate end

Full textWilliam Faulkner’s women characters have a dominating presence which is symbolized throughout the author's work by woman's moral authority, her imagination and her good sense. This image is, in fact, a conscious and progressive construction which draws the setting for a representation that founds the self and a certain philosophy of being: through its quest of the woman, Faulkner’s literary experience is actually a way of reassessing the human condition. Actually, woman's engagement in actions that affirm life, her respect of nature or her preference of acts instead of words, make her bring the word of a certain vision of the world where transgression, suffering in the sake of the other, courage or endurance are the most significant symbolical forms of a voluntary, frank and courageous attitudes toward living. The faulknerian hero, on the contrary, is condemned to isolation, impotence and violence because he is incapable of assuming the corruption of the world because he turns his back on life in search of a transcendental heaven

Full textHow can we view the status of totality through Bataille's work, beyond the challenge proposed to the very concept ? In recognizing the fundamental "will of being whole" in every individual, Bataille attempts to satisfy this will by connecting the specific and the totality in the positivity of the finitude of the individual. Thus, Bataille's focus consists of reintegrating into totality the status of the individual, the finite, meaning that totality can only exist as an experience of the specific. For Bataille, totality asserts its specificity in order to "exceed itself" continuously; it never reaches completion, but is devoted to the excess of what is lacking, a lack which deepens the more completion is sought; it is the sum of attempts at excess : totality in excess. From this point, this essay attempts to offer an interpretation to enlightening the difficulties that Bataillan theory meets or creates
Spill, Frédérique. "L'idiotie dans l'oeuvre de William Faulkner." Paris 3, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA030109.
Full textThe starting point of this thesis is the monologue of the idiot Benjy Compson, who is the initial narrator in Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury (published in 1929). Told by a narrator who is both deaf and dumb and hopelessly condemned to stupor, this monologue is built upon an impossible discourse. Yet it is upon this paradoxical discourse, which rests on the pre-eminence of sensory perception, that Faulkner sets the foundation of a sophisticated aesthetics of idiocy. Indeed, the author’s choice to place an idiot at the centre of perception can be considered the inaugural and emblematic gesture of his writing. Through a detailed examination of excerpts selected from Faulkner’s novels and short stories, this thesis argues that the monologue of Benjy Compson – regarded as the archetypal idiot – is actually a vast experimental laboratory in which things and words are remodelled by the senses. The present study emphasises how the corporal, temporal, sensorial and narrative figures of idiocy are reflected throughout Faulkner’s work

Full textThe community is divided between its political construction and its tragic expressions. The community is also the milieu through which philosophy transfers its truths to the political field. Through a comparison of these propositions with Plato's and Aristotle's, this study, first, emphasizes the function of myth in the birth of political community, and the part played by tragedy which, through its representation of the city's memories of internal conflicts, obliges it to face them. Dyonisus, and the danger he carries with him from one city to another, is the deity – the repulsed deity – through which this study opens onto the genealogy of Bataillienne community. Following Bataille's experiences and interventions in different groups - journals, colleges, and secret societies – this study weaves together representations of man and of community, recalling Jean-Luc Nancy's and Maurice Blanchot's subsequent readings. Because he constituted a community to respond the rise of fascisms, and because he afterwards turned away from it to commit himself to inner experience, Bataille bore witness to the experience of the decline of community. If totalitarisms gave rise to forms of absolutization of the community, what is at stake here is an interrogation of the place of Bataille in these reflexions and an accounting for the importance of his thought and his experiences, which have been dismissed. The sovereign, erotic and sacred part running across community and going beyond it, is thus the part that is finally recalled to show the importance of sovereignty and non-knowledge in a political thought that Bataille put to the test confronting the events of his time

Full textIf the problem of fiction could be concentrated into only one proposition, it would certainly be the first of William Faulkner’s Sartoris : we could speak of a “hyper-deixis” and a “plupresent” (or a “past present”) for a phenomenological novel before the final stage. With reference to the already old Benveniste’s opposition “story / discourse” and to textual realities, narratology should consider nowadays that deixis is the structural chief characteristic of the fictional text, analysed in its different levels of mediation : assertive and narrative acts, semantic and referential foundations (presupposition and make believe) of the whole pragmatic framework linked to enunciation : temporality, chronology, acting hero’s “chronotope”, sequentiality, “objectivity”, showing, indexicals and deictics, anaphora without any antecedent, values of the reference’s articles in discursive usage and in the context of narrative voice and point of view. All those things remaining intra-narrationem of a text whose “conscience” does interest, made as it is of the kind of moving form provided by the very complexity of the instancial set put into narrative situations and by the different degrees of the metamorphosis in writing. On the whole, Sartoris and Faulkner’s first novels reveal narrative deixis both to itself and to western literature, - from start to nowadays, as well in the American influences as in the linguistic heritage of the twentieth century, - whose History needs also a methodical and contrastive approach of English, French and even Polish tongues
Baker, John. ""La faute d'écrire" : culpabilité, langage et écriture dans l'oeuvre de Georges Bataille." Paris 7, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA070143.
Full textThe main aim of this thesis is to establish the relationship between bataille's writing and the omnipresent themes of guilt and sin. While underlining the importance of guilt as a figure of writing we examine the relationship between morality and language. The introduction highlights the regressive aspects of bataille's thought as well as his vision of the universe and of mankind based on the expenditure of emergy. This oblique approach which concentrates on the base and the excessive, from the articles in the review documents onwards, is qualified as a black humanism. The first part examines the notion of sin in bataille's works and in particular refers to sur nietzsche and the discussion sur le peche. It is preceded by a "history" of the notion of sin and the role it plays in the judea-christian tradition, and by short studies devoted to authors as diverse as nietzsche, freud, hertz, ricoeur, and goldgerg, whose points of view on the question of guilt and sin enable us to insert bataille's discourse in a larger context. The second part is a reading of l'abbe c. (1950). By examining the modes of bataille's writing, and in particular the various forms of the image, the aim is to bring to the fore the obstruced and guilty movement of the writing, and to show that this novel is a syntehsis and the production, in the theatrical sense, of themes that have preoccupied bataille from the very start;. .

Full textThis research aims to clarify the meaning of sovereignty and literature in the works of Georges Bataille by considering the usage of the French verb “trahir (betray)”. The word can mean “to be unfaithful to” and “to reveal what should be hidden” at the same time. In search of a new perspective which this ambivalent meaning can offer, this study approaches Bataille’s texts by examining the use of the words “trahir (betray)” or “trahison (betrayal)”. First, it is essential to discuss the definition of sovereignty and “summit moral,” also called “hypermorality” by the writer himself. The notion of sovereignty is closely linked to the question of truth which Bataille unceasingly poses. This is related to his own definition of humanity, the essence of which is composed of labor and knowledge in one part, play and art in the other. In this perspective, literature becomes to man the time and space for the realization of sovereignty, and the idea of transgression and the representations of nudity in Bataille’s texts demonstrate the essential role of literature in the life of the writer. Moreover, Bataille presents his reading of Nietzsche’s texts as an example of communication in literature. The last part of this study deals with the project Divinus Deus which was to include four fictional works — Madame Edwarda, Ma mère (My mother), Charlotte d’Ingerville, and Sainte (Santa) — and a theoretical essay “Paradox of eroticism”. Not only taking the pseudonym Pierre Angélique but also inventing the entire life of this debauched man, Bataille shows how sovereignty is incarnated in the writer himself

Partindo do exame de alguns dos mais importantes textos que compõem o escopo filosófico-literário do pensamento de Georges Bataille, destacaremos o fato de que, assimilada a herança de Sade, de Nietzsche e de Freud, Bataille fez de seu projeto estético-filosófico uma via de acesso ao deslimite, via que conduz à paradoxal experiência do impossível. Ao longo da primeira parte de nosso trabalho, dedicada integralmente a Bataille, enfatizaremos que o pensamento batailliano, consagrado ao impossível, aponta para a possibilidade de uma experiência com a vida a se realizar fora do campo das injunções morais, na intensidade própria à convulsão e à vertigem. Na segunda parte desta tese, estabelecidas as conseqüências da submissão de um corpo vivo ao regime de linguagem, rastrearemos, em Freud e em Lacan, as alternativas possíveis para lidar com o mal-estar na civilização. Ao final, depois de examinar as mutações do gozo no pensamento lacaniano, demonstraremos que a relativa viabilidade de Georges Bataille ressalta uma dimensão indispensável à compreensão do saber-fazer lacaniano, a identificação a um modo de gozo singular. Tal como veremos, tal identificação compareceria em decorrência da transcriação do nome próprio: artifício por meio do qual um sujeito qualquer não apenas renuncia aos ideais que o suportam, como trata de enxertar, na carne do Outro, aquilo que nele há de mais heterogêneo, a mais heteróclita das paixões. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
Starting from an examination of some of the most important texts that compose the scope of the philosophical and literary thought of Georges Bataille, we will emphasizes the fact that, assimilated the legacy of Sade, Nietzsche and Freud, Bataille made his aesthetic-philosophical project one route that leads to the paradoxical experience of the impossible. Throughout the first part of our work, fully dedicated to Bataille, we emphasize that the bataillian thought points out to the possibility of an experience with life to be held outside the field of the moral injunctions. In the second part of this thesis, we will track out in Freud and Lacan, possible alternatives to deal with the malaise in civilization. At the end, we will demonstrate that the relative viability of Georges Bataille enphasizes a vital dimension to the understanding of the lacanian savoir-faire: the identification to a singular mode of enjoyment. As we shall see, this identification takes place as a result of the own name re-writing: the artifact through the means the subject can graft on the flesh of the Other the most singular kind of passion.

Full textGeorges bataille's entire works are haunted by the presence of art and especially by painting and plastic arts, which are linked to obsessions of eroticism, death, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacred, sovereignty. From articles of documents (1929-1930) to larmes d'eros (1961), bataille gives an unsublimate reading of art and culture, opening out anthropological views, confronting aesthetics and reality, history of art and experience, in this global vision, art seems to be the incarnation and the play of the "un-knowledge" : above all, this "part of art" reveals the intensity of desire and cruelty under cover of form and discourse ; it opens one's eyes and escapes, as eroticism, to profane's world limits, to the control of meaning and knowledge

Full textAs it is drawn back to original chaos, the faulknerian body is plagued by shapelessness and all attempt at outlining its figure seems to be doomed. Of course one may sometimes etch out a frame yet what is contained within remains intangible. Such a gostly body nevertheless amounts to a blank sheet, a surface which in turn serves as a screen on which imaginary projections can take shape. However, the faulknerian body remains elusive, difficult to circumscribe for it is without any topos of even made into a partial or total void. Then it is characterized only by bodily humours or digestive and sexual functions. But it is informed by a discourse which strives to make up for its blanck thanks to interchangeable or reversible losses. Yet the faulknerian body ever remains on the verge of sundering paradoxically enough, such sundering may prove constructive, just like metonymies, which appear, together with negations, comparisons and metaphors as so many possible oblique ways of apprehending the body. Characterized by intrusions and detour, the faulklnerian body is also a base for various impressions and a source of disturbing speech which carries it even as it pierces it through and through. Last of all, the faulknerian body is perpetually in motion, it is an open entity which has several types of logic and the components of which entertain instable relations

Full textEvil in Georges Bataille’s novelistic work expresses itself in each component of the fictional universe. The characters’ bodies are plagued by filth, ugliness, diseases and death : the body’s text gives resonance. Their psychology is the victim of a deep malaise, of a suffocation to the bitter end of structured life. Revealing a will to embrace the Impossible while physical and psychological excrements, drunkenness, insanity, laughter and perversions are testifying to. We assist then to a work of destruction of all system governing (mutilating) the human existence (family, religion, ideologies). Space, setting of material and moral stain, of death and of decline joins to time, allegory of disorder, of night and of storm, favouring the installation of a devilish universe. The ambivalent existence of the woman is, finally, the personification of Evil against any idealistic representation

A dissertação em questão vai trabalhar dentro de uma leitura da obra de Georges Bataille, História do olho. Observando o complexo e importante pensamento a respeito do olho, no qual Bataille trata seus ensaios fundacionais, seguimos para uma investigação tanto da estrutura da obra literária e sua importância, quanto da sua incidência na teoria filosófica do autor. Somado ao frenesi de toda forma de vida na Terra, o olho está diretamente ligado ao erotismo, ao sexo e ao gozo. A partir da glândula pineal, observamos a importância do objeto ocular para Bataille. Em seu texto literário, observamos a estrutura complexa entre metáfora e metonímia que regem tanto a condensação quanto o deslocamento dos movimentos em uma presença e ausência do olho. Partindo da ideia da importância da estrutura da História do olho, não pudemos nos furtar de investigar a ausência da assinatura Georges Bataille na obra, uma aporia do nome.
The present dissertation is going to work inside a reading of Georges Bataille’s literary work, Story of the Eye. Observing the complex and important thought about the eye, in which Bataille treats his foundational essays, we move on to an investigation of the literary work’s structure and its importance, as well as its incidence in the author’s philosophical theory. Added to the frenesi of all forms of life on Earth, the eye is directly connected to eroticism, sex and orgasm. From the pineal gland, we observe the ocular object’s importance to Bataille. In his literary text, we observe the complex structure between metaphor and metonymy that rules the condensation as well as the movement’s dislocation in one presence and the absence of the eye. Starting from the idea of the structure’s importance in Story of the Eye, we couldn’t deny investigating the absence of the signature Georges Bataille in the work, an aporia of the name.

Full textThis study, concerned with the thinking of Bataille and Nietzsche on the subject of what we will describe for now as the philosophy of the limit, is made up of five chapters : first chapter. The demand for the absence of work second chapter. The project of the limit third chapter. The transgression game forth chapter. The communication by and through appearance fifth chapter. The beginning of parody and tragedy the philosophy of the limit is characterized by the free assertion it carries within itself of its own ultimate consequences. Our intent is to study the meaning and extent of this assertion using as our starting point the general principle that introduces with one stroke the problems of "the will of chance", "the inversion of all values", "the eternal return of the same": the limit is a term that is not a term
Rieusset-Lemarié, Isabelle. "Le Sphinx sociologique." Paris 7, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989PA070069.
Full textThe "College of sociology" (1937-1939) was led by Roger Caillois and Georges Bataille. In the last conference Bataille dealt with the "sociological sphinx" whose question was not the type of question you can answer, but aims to make a question appear in the very person to be confronted with. That this infinite question is the unattainable question which lies throughout bataille's work until his death, is the point of this thesis. But in order to have a great understanding of this unattainable point, one has to re-walk the whole path the "College of sociology" was walking. Since the corpus of the activities of this group is very complex at a first glance, this thesis has attempted to clarify their coherence, mainly by making clear the essential unifying part played by myth, in such a way that it has led georges bataille from the desire of answering the french social crisis cropped up through the "munich accords" and the literary crisis which grew subsequently because of the power lessness of literature to answer this social crisis, to the more abstract mythical figure of the "sociological sphinx", whose purpose was no longer to answer a crisis but to perpetuate the question this crisis was pregnant of. The colloquial meetings of the "socratical college" in 1942-43 strengthened both Georges Bataille and Maurice Blanchot in this infinite interrogation

Faulkner’s fiction is pregnant with the uncontrollable forces phenomenon. These forces override human volition and prediction. In The Sound and the Fury the most important expression of these forces is Caddy as a symbol of female sexuality. In this thesis I explore how characters view this phenomenon. These phenomenon is investigated by using Ricoeur’s hermeneutical literary approach

Full textThe thesis demonstrates that David Herbert Lawrence and Georges Bataille shared the same philosophical heritage. They drew inspiration from the theories of German Romanticism and Nietzsche. Therefore, they searched for the sacred in the life of the body and in a Dionysic ecstatic experience. They wanted collective turmoil without immanentism, a revolution which wouldn’t be jeopardised by the rise of a fascist dictator. However, their political attempts did not succeed. They realised then that sacredness was only to be reached through literary creation. Both writers thought that erotic ecstasis could lead to a sacred experience. Erotic jouissance amounts to a “little death” in which the ego is lost while the individual’s limits disappear. Yet, the two writers most differentiate themselves with regard to the literary devices they use in order to depict such an experience

Me gustaría compartir, a modo de introducción, el proceso por el cual llegué a mi propuesta de tesina. El punto de partida es el seminario de Recepción de tragedia contemporánea, en el cual se enmarca todo este trabajo. El seminario tenía como objetivo el análisis de la recepción de la tragedia griega y la tragedia isabelina en el teatro contemporáneo, considerando las dos posibilidades de actualización del género: la recepción creativa de argumentos de tragedias en obras dramática y la recepción creativa de las propiedades del género en la escritura de nuevas tragedias. Comencé con una intuición y un impulso basado únicamente en obsesiones personales: William Faulkner. El primer intento fue desde Luz de Agosto, la conocida novela que tanta locura y horror había causado a André Gide. Sin embargo estaba el problema del género. Como antes señalé el curso se abocaba al estudio de obras dramáticas. Luego apareció la adaptación para el teatro que Albert Camus había hecho de Réquiem para una mujer1 de Faulkner. Y cuando finalmente tuve las dos obras en mis manos, la original, la de Faulkner, exhibió toda su complejidad. Se trataba de un hibrido que conjugaba características discursivas y formales predominantemente narrativas con elementos asociados a lo dramático. Con Réquiem para una mujer podía amoldarme a las exigencias del curso sin dejar de lado los caprichos

Full textThis thesis brings into focus two texts by William Faulkner, a writer who has been praised as one of the exponents at modernist experimentations. The first one to be studied here is A Rose for Emily, a short story published in 1930; the second is Absalom, Absalom!, a novel from 1936. The objective is to investigate whether a genuine storyteller can be found in Faulkner‘s work, supported by the concept presented by Walter Benjamin in his essay The storyteller: reflections on the works of Nikolai Leskov. My aim is to raise the question of the end of communicability of experience in order to suggest that, contrary to what Benjamin affirms, the art of storytelling has not reached its end. My argument is that Faulkner‘s narratives evidence his storytelling art as being imbricated with his use of point of view. Faulkner‘s experience and experimentation as a writer are investigated here, principally his manipulation with the use of point of view, and they are analyzed in the light of the concepts developed by Walter Benjamin, Wayne Booth, Gérard Genette, Mieke Bal, and others. The results of this research highlight that Faulkner‘s work with point of view is to be considered much more than merely a modernist experimentation, because his experience as a writer from the South of the United States has impact on this experimentation. Individual and collective memory, transmission of experience, narrators telling and retelling stories, are important factors for the construction of meaning in the narratives studied here. Moreover, by discussing the meaningfulness of his work, whether in its formal aspect or in the aspect related to the geographic and literary context of its time and place, I expect to contribute with yet another look into the narrative strategies employed by Faulkner, a writer that, still today, fosters academic investigation and production, exactly for being able to construct telling circles that present genuine storytellers.

Full textHYPOTHESIS: The literary works of Bataille and Klossowski have multiple convergences but also differences. We seek to place them in parallel in order to determine how their fiction work unfolds as a sovereign art, beyond all meaning, and as an artistic expression of the forces of the naked life and the eternal return concept of Nietzsche. OBJECTIVES: 1. To establish which lines of thought of Bataille and Klossowski are developed inside their literature work and its relation to the notion of the eternal return 2. To show how different meanings of the Dionysus symbol are deployed along their literature. 3. To show the literature of Batai I le and Klossowski as a succession of images that express intensities and decoded forces THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: The central theoretical dereference for the analysis is the philosophy work of Bataille and Klossowski, in close relationship with Friedrich Nietzsche work. We refers as well to the notion (developed by us) call "The image in fire", conceptualization that is enriched by the work of Deleuze, Derrida, Badiou, Blanchot and Quignard. Additionally we use a variety of authors to show all aspects of the Dionysus symbol. METHODOLOGY: Our analysis is made based on four perspectives: the philosophy work of Bataille and KIossowski, Nietzsche's eternal return notion, Dionysus symbol and "The imagen in fire" notion. We boarded the literary work of Bataille and Klossowski through various notions, but fundamentally we analyze their stories as a series of images (in insisting repetition of the difference) that create a theater of intensities. CONCLUSION : The works of Georges Bataille and Pierre Klossowski are configured as parallel (as a display of art that have convergences but also that creates infinite number of divergences in a labyrinthine sense). Differences displaying images that rise as an expression of the forces of life, while these images are consumed in a brilliant expression of a sovereign art: gesture that manifests itself as a theater where the affirmation of life and the instant eternally wanted occur.
