Mimouni, Isabelle. "Balzac et l'architecture." Paris 4, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA040325.
Full text"Balzac and architecture": on purpose, this title wasn't precise. The corpus includes la Comedie humaine, the works of the young novelist, texts published in news-papers, theater and letters. Architecture has been studied in relation with archeology, urbanism garden art, art history and engineering. We tackled biography, sociology, history (Balzac thought that architecture is a means to understand society); we also studied the narrative values of architectural descriptions. We had then to try to understand how works the metaphor, when it is used to qualify the work thought as a "monument": we had aesthetics in view. Our study tries to consider how architecture is transposed in literature: what is chosen by the novelist? On what purpose and last but not the least how does he proceed?
Lim, Hun. "La poétique balzacienne de la fluidité : roman et sciences : imagination et discours du "fluide romantique" dans "La Comédie humaine"." Tours, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993TOUR2012.
Full textThrough out the balzacian poetics of fluidity, we have considered the followings points : "The relationship of novel and science, the romantic aspect of his imagination and the original sense of his work ; therefore, we will see in it the importance of the "romantic fluid" for a genuine interpretation of the balzacian universe
Omure, Kazue. "Étude d'une nouvelle de Balzac, "Gobseck"." Paris 4, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA040147.
Full text"Gobseck" is the Balzac's novel for a thesis; Gobseck is the usurer of the "Comédie humaine" to be studied thoroughly. The purpose of the first chapter of our thesis is to demonstrate not only how the author produced, for the first time in 1830, this central personage and this small masterpiece which influenced the other works, but also how he developed them to reach the perfection of their last state in 1842. The second chapter is designed for the intensive study of the natural shape of the avaricious hero: Gobseck is "l'or personnifié" as well as "l'insatiable boa". Then, we passed to the third chapter to report on our analysis of each colleague of Gobseck. The result of this study is that all of the usurers of the "Comédie humaine" take after, more or less, Gobseck. We discovered that Balzac decomposed the image of Gobseck, after the description of his death, and used the fragments for the construction of the others usurers. The supplementary chapter is reserved for the research of the sources of two fireplaces described in the novel
Murata, Kyoko. "Les métamorphoses du pacte diabolique dans l'oeuvre de Balzac." Paris 7, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA070069.
Full textI treat in this study the theme of "diabolic pact" in the works of Balzac, and analyse various metmorphoses of tne notion of pact in the development of "La comédie humaine". It is in "Le centenaire" that this themes appears for the first time. Though young Balzac imitates Maturin's "Melmoth", he differs from Maturin in associating poetic creation with a diabolic pact. "La peau de chagrin" which reflects the malady of the Century, is a novel marked by the most profound pessimism. The demoniac figure takes there the form of "Peau", that incarnates the inner Other and human time. Balzac projects on his hero the anguish and sufferings of intellectuals in his times. In "Melmoth réconcilié", a rewrite of Maturin's novel, Balzac reconstructs the original by investing it with his fundamental reflections of "La Comédie humaine". At the same time, he invents "le fantastique social". From this time on, he does not have to introduce the supernatural into his works ; the diabolic pact is decisively transferred to realistic space. .
Hakata, Kaoru. "La rumeur dans l'oeuvre de Balzac." Paris 7, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA070009.
Full textBecause they echo public opinion, rumours play an essential part in the novels of Honoré de Balzac. In order to describe its functioning, the novelist has set out to analyse the different aspects of this vast "collective conversation" : how can we account for the facts that rumours seem to come into existence and to propagate almost spontaneously? How does a rumour started by a single individual end up being believed and repeated by a large group of persons? He has also looked into its social function : by sharing impressions and hypotheses, by debating between themselves, gossipmongers reinforce their bonds. In certain cases, they set themselves up as inquisitors, going after alleged criminals and impostors. Finally, by studying the psychological dimension of gossiping, Balzac has shown that rumours do not only serve the interests of political parties or underline social issues : they express deep-rooted anxieties. By deciphering the myths on which rumours are founded, he brings back to the surface a string of repressed collective memories. Rather than "observing" their contemporaries, gossipmongers project fantasies on them. Balzac integrates erroneous suppositions into his novels and shows how accounts of a same event can vary according to the storyteller's standpoint ; as an historian, he tries to correct wrong anecdotes. On orchestrating the words of innumerable characters, Balzac builds a work that we can compare with a great opera, in which the gossipmongers sing the revealing themes. Readers must pay heed to them to be able to participate more efficiently in the game of interpretation that the works of Balzac propose them

Full textThe topic of this thesis is Balzac's use of the " sign " and of hermeneutical reason. From 1829 to 1848, La Comédie humaine in its entirety centers around this régime of knowledge which makes the represented materials incarnate meaning, provide knowledge, and generally signify. With a view to analyzing the bases and consequences of the " evidential paradigm " (C. Ginzburg), I have thus sought to focus on the imaginary scenarios and textual strategies through which the relations between being and meaning are modeled, modulated and altered, formed and transformed. As a work of representation and of knowledge, the novel as Balzac produces it aims at revealing the intelligible at the heart of the sensible, by means of a disposition and an interpretation of signs. At the same time, a study of the grammar of immersion shows that La Comédie humaine elaborates a strongly Spinozist ontology in which being and meaning are immanent and render each other indistinguishable. Further, the writer as photographer ensures the advent of pure appearances, of superficiality, and stamps the horizontality of the Balzacian world (especially that of the 1840s) with a mark of disembodiment, levelling and foolishness. Freed from all transcendence and depth, the fictional bodies ultimately appear to be open only to becoming itself. The delineation of " planes of immanence " (G. Deleuze) and the logic of the gap constitute an aesthetics of distantiation, thereby injecting a new dynamic which reenchants the matter of the novel

Full textÀ la lumière de l’anthropologie historique de Marcel Gauchet, nous examinons dans ce mémoire le rapport de Balzac à la religion à partir de ses trois romans les plus religieux : Le médecin de campagne (1833), Le curé de village (1841) et L’envers de l’histoire contemporaine (1848). Publiés à des moments différents de la carrière de Balzac, ces romans ont en commun d’illustrer l’autonomisation de la sphère humaine vis-à-vis de celle de Dieu en rendant la religion tributaire de la volonté humaine. Coupant court à tout providentialisme, réinterprétant le dogme du péché originel lorsqu’ils ne l’omettent pas tout simplement, ces romans à thèse présentent un monde plus désenchanté qu’il n’y parait de prime abord. Désormais le mal s’explique par une « pathologie » et la vie bonne consiste à panser activement les plaies du monde social. Investissant radicalement l’ici-bas humain, les bienfaiteurs balzaciens, qui ont tout de saints laïcs, semblent s’émanciper de toute métaphysique contraignante. Dans cette comédie du monde qui n’a plus rien de divin, la religion s’impose comme moyen, jamais comme fin.
In light of Marcel Gauchet’s works on disenchantment, we intent in this dissertation to analyze Honoré de Balzac’s views about religion and Christianity, especially in three of his most apologetics novels: Le Médecin de Campagne (The Country Doctor, 1833), Le Curé de Village (The Village Priest, 1841) et L’Envers de l’Histoire Contemporaine (The Seamy Side of History, 1848). Published at different points of Balzac’s career, those novels have in common to illustrate the move toward autonomy of human condition by making religion dependent on human will. Withdrawing Providence, reinterpreting original sin dogma, those thesis novels depict a disenchanted world. From now on, evil can be explained by pathology and religion can be reduced to the treatment of social wounds. Investing all their energy in life here below, Balzac’s characters appear to be freed from any metaphysical ties. In this human comedy that is no longer divine, religion is a mean, never an end.
