Blondeau, Isabelle. "La sculpture dans La Comédie humaine de Balzac : poétique, politique et esthétique." Thesis, Reims, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013REIML012.
Full textIf painting in Balzac's work has interested many critics, sculpture less. This is why this is the theme of this thesis. Indeed, it is a question of demonstrating that sculpture's representation in La Comédie humaine stands at the heart of Balzac's creation. In resonance (sometimes in resistance) with the speeches of that period, sculpture's representation in Balzac's novels implies particular thought on political representation, and represents the end of the sacred foundation of power, linked to Terror, in the first part of the nineteenth century. Articulating political representation and poetics of representation, the novelist highlights a crisis of mimèsis, too often mentioned regarding his work. In mourning of the sacred foundation and the reality of the Idea, Balzac considers sculpture as the place of the link between Idea and Image, and puts it at the heart of his energetic and his aesthetics. Coming from death, sculpture becomes for Balzac the first art, able to redefine the foundations of reality and fiction. At the crossroads of politics, poetics and aesthetics, this thought on sculpture in La Comédie humaine aims to combine history of representations and history of the representation

Full textWriter, journalist and political thinker : those three activities are closely linked in Balzac’s life between 1830 and 1848. His work and his life show an author led by politics, in a unitary way that includes social, religious and economical questions. In a time of post-revolutionary discord, Balzac, beside his contemporaries, tries to avert the bursting and to rebuild a lasting order by rethinking politics, which means not only the power – its forms, means and stakes – but also the society where politics exercise. During the July Monarchy, Balzac plays a major role in the city, as an actor and as a critical witness of his time; he was in shift, or even in dissidence with regard to the dominant way of thinking. His texts and commitments express the affirmation and paradoxes of the public space during the July Monarchy. As a man and a writer of discomfort, Balzac writes both about and against his century. His refusal to accept the restraints of a party or to rally men and ideas of his century brings him to try a synthesis from the various trends of thinking, the present ones as the past ones. In this way, he proposes a system that defies classifications and maintains the opposites in a permanent tension. The balzacian vision of politics asks questions about politics but do not impose any answer. It suspends certitudes and keeps its actuality

Full textThe present work is composed of 4 chapters. The first chapter presents the history of the publication of Philosophical Studies (Etudes Philosophiques) in France, in Russia and in Armenia from 1830 to our days. We are trying to explain why in Russia and in Armenia these works are less published. The second chapter concerns the problem of the translation. We found important to speak about the difficulties of the translation of the titles, of the tenses, of the expressions used by Balzac, which are the most of time neglected in translations. In the third chapter we represent the reception of the works of Balzac, especially of Philosophical Studies (Etudes Philosophiques) in the three above mentioned countries. The last chapter is devoted to the psychoanalytical study of Philosophical Studies (Etudes Philosophiques). It is not a secret that Balzac was an unloved child: this fact gave us the idea to read his works from the point of view of psychoanalysis

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?

Full text“The work of Balzac is written painting": the Goncourt’s comment has been our leading thread through the work of Balzac. It is the real transposal of art that is achieved when the novelist describes portraits, landscapes, and homes. Our study consists in demonstrating how the writer takes the place of the painter: "literature used the same process as does the painter" writes Balzac. The intensity, giving to the descriptions by the evocation of colors, light, materials is very similar to the pictorial technique. In the first part of our essay we study how the "fraternity of arts" has developed in the beginning of the nineteenth century when "the arts tend compensate one for the other" according to Baudelaire. In the second part we study the painters that Balzac mentioned in his work. Finally it seemed interesting to examine the aesthetics of Balzac how does his writing evoqued pictures?

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 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.
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. .
Courteix, René-Alexandre. "Les aspects idéologiques et politiques de la Révolution française dans l'oeuvre de Balzac." Paris 4, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA040195.
Full textIn this thesis, rene alexandre courteix argues that the french revolution has a central role in balzac's writings, even though the author of the human comedy actually chose to describe and explain society as it was in his day. He explains the inevitability of the meeting between a writer of genius, born in 1799, wishing to give a full acc0unt of man and society in the first half of the 19th century, and one of the highlights of the history of mankind, occurring at the end of the 18th century and bearing withing it a new conception of man and a new philosophical and political definition of society. He shows that the french revolution its causes, several of its main manifestations, and its consequences - is present throughout the whole of balzac's wrigings. Finally he considers the ideological meaning of the testimony offered by balzac alongside that of some of his grat contemporaries and the way this is closely bound to the writer's underlying philosophy of man and society

Full textThe three figures of creative genius, passionate lunatic and sacrificial mystic are depicted in the Balzac novel type of researcher of the Absolute, who proves a central element of Balzac's world and philosophy of the grea author, ail radiating European Romanticism. The Absolute appears as the problematic vanishing point of a thought in search of the ultimate truth of the human in its mission to overcome his condition, to transcend by the power of mind the limits of his existence and reveal that of higher world of infinite for which he yearns. Balzac offers a romantic experience of an absolute, preparing implicitly but powerfully the philosophical fortune of this concept, where lies the secret to a sublime energy that illustrate the nature of a new ontological relations between man and world, through legendary models and psychological studies that only deepen the mystery
Lyon-Caen, Boris. "L'être et le sens : une poétique du signe dans la Comédie humaine d'Honoré de Balzac." Paris 3, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA030087.
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
Tanimoto, Michiaki. "La figure du conteur chez Balzac." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCC219/document.
Full text"What is the talent of the 'Conteur', if not that of all talents combined ?" writes Philarète Chasles in his forward to Romans et contes philosophiques published in 1831. Although Balzac is best known as a novelist, he himself greatly admired the genre known as the "conte". Balzac traced a great deal of his own literary identity to the "grands conteurs" he considered his patrons such as Boccaccio, Rabelais, La Fontaine, Sterne and "the anonymous authors of The Arabian Nights". If in La DerniŠre Fee and Contes drolatiques Balzac confronts the traditions of this genre, his Romans et contes philosphiques, Contes bruns and Nouveux Contes philosohpiques represent instead an attempt to reform the "conte" in his own style. This thesis re-examines the "conte" as it was written in the first decades of the 19th century and traces the course of Balzac's literary development vis a vis this genre from his "youthful period" until the first years of the 1830s. Through a survey of books and literary magazines, I give a bibliographic survey of various "contes" published during this time. I also examine the daily work and life of Balzac during these years : a time not only of immense popularity for the "conte" within literary circles, but also one of changing socio-economic conditions for writers in general. Balzac envisaged the "conte" not as fixed genre, but as one of great flexibility and iridescence capable of accommodating a variety of styles, tones, and themes. Through his close identification with this genre, Balzac styled himself above all as a "conteur", an identity which this thesis traces from its earliest formulations until its precocious dissolution near the end of 1832
Voussaris, Athanase. "Conscience et vision poétique chez H. De Balzac et W. Woolf." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040281.
Full textThe starting point of this study is the sense produced by two works relevant to different aesthetics: Balzac’s and Woolf’s. We tried first to envisage how far we could extend the muthos notion of Aristotle’s poetics. Specifically, we examined the relationship between character (in both meanings of personality and personage) and dramatic action, and identified the essential conditions of poetry, the very ground of its intelligibility. We emphasized the fact that, from the character's point of view, dramatic action is a matter of passion: action should not be meant as a character's display, but as a universal, the only way to understand the individual. Here, the important question of time is twofold: we insisted on the time required by poetic activity, and viewed reading as the work's second creation. On the other hand, the work's timelessness conceptualized by Aristotle’s poetics as a simultaneous vision resides in that the analytic reading of the work is converted into a synthetic understanding: the latter is independent of the eye's movement; in the same way Aristotle says the perception of dramatic action is independent of its theatre performance
Labouret-Grare, Mireille. "L'aristocrate balzacienne : physiologie et poétique." Paris 4, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988PA040040.
Full textThe classic example of the balzacian aristocratic woman is characterized by the double law of opposites and similarities. Her body expresses the tension between nature and culture. The fashionable woman, always acting, symbolizing a precise caste and time, counterpoises the natural woman who partakes of the essential elements: water, earth and fire. So, the angelic and beastly metaphors which characterize her convey this obsession of the "double sided woman" and abolish the differences between a great lady and a prostitute. The presence of the aristocratic woman's body, a paragon of beauty for the other women in la comédie humaine, is asserting itself in the portrait, no longer considered as an autonomous element but open onto the whole fiction. This calling into question of the synchrony of the portrait implies that the language of the body and the functions which structure it should be taken into account. As that classic example is building up, the longing for the sublime and the ironic distanciation are taking shape. The sublime of the sin and the face stresses the genesis of the aristocratic woman who undergoes a series of degradations before vanishing, leaving it to other exceptional characters to embody the last image of the balzacian sublime
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

Full textThe present study addresses the multifaceted relationships between Balzac and the French literary 17th century. It consists of three parts: first, an analysis of Balzac’s own memorial selection of 17th-century political and literary events, followed by a detailed exploration of the variety of modes of attendance, practices and functions assumed by the “Grand Siècle” in La Comédie humaine, and finally of an evaluation of the range and consequences of the development of moralist-type thinking within prose narrative fiction. First, this research work allows for a renewed questioning of some foundations of Balzacian poetics. Secondly, the different methods of reception of the 17th century in the novel cycle built by Balzac between 1829 and 1850 highlight new reading circulations of La Comédie humaine by means of specific network-type textual devices. And finally, this study shows the permanence of problems linked with the development of the genre of the novel from the 17th to the 19th century. Hence, it invites to a revision of some deep-rooted prejudice of literary history, as much about Balzac than against the “classical Grand Siècle”

Full textQuestioning the representation methods of the parental figure and their stakes in the Balzacian universe. This doctoral thesis shows that Balzac's figures of paternity echo the judicial changes in the status of the father instituted by the Civil code, To paint the relationship between father and child Balzac relies upon and transforms the cultural heritage of the second enlightenment which invented the figure of the father presiding over the code, He also drew upon several series of contemporary lithographs which were well known by the public, Referring to this essentially visual culture, the novel creates specific spaces of configuration, elaborating hypotheses about transformations of both imaginaries and practices of paternity, By working with topical representations, the novel also produces epistemological reflections; it questions the way that the paternal image, traditionally a metaphor for power, functions, This thesis also re-explores the fantasmatic image of paternity, examining its connections with the figure of the writer

The family is before all a social fact that contains various aspects. It is necessary then to recognize the tension between the literary aspect peculiar to thé writing novel and the social aspect of the subject.

Full textThrough stendhal's armance and balzac's interdiction we are able to study the ways in which we obtain knowledge of the other (1st and 2nd parts) and, consequently, the means by which this jnowledge is expressed. Two ways of obtaining knowledge are analyzed: 1) the decoding of the signs emitted by the other, which we shall consider using peirce's concepts of semiotics and logic and more particularly his ideas on induction, deduction and hypothesis; 2) dialogue. 1) in l'interdiction, the charater manifests hilself by means of numerous "homogeneous" clues. Theses clues consistently suggest the thematic role that each character embodies. In armance, on the other hand, clues are infrequent and do not thematic role. 2) when dialogue is established with the other in balzac, one is still able to identify thematic role. For the characters in armance, however, a verbal exchange often bears negative effects. For the dialogue to transmit knowledge from one to another, if even partial, a real or symbolic distance must be established between the characters, and the speaker must have recourse in narrative rather than in description. 3) if the speaker is to express who he is or who the other is, the character has recourse. .

Full textIn Balzac,'s La Comédie humaine, the narrative is subordinated to visual images: the image is a condensation of phantasms made of mnemonic traces, and narrative is the ‘secondary elaboration' of these primary data. The drive to see and to know are inherent to the image and the narrative, which tend towards the elucidation of the original object of phantasm. We have relied on psychoanalysis theory to disentangle the knots of desire and to follow the sinuous structure of the plot. But the narrative misses the object of the quest ; and anachronism proves to be the main characteristic of the image. We have then examined how the object survives in this image, though never submitting to representation. Nevertheless the balzacian representation is a dynamic process : it seeks and creates its vanishing object at each moment. The novel is built in this movement, as a vestige of the objet's passage

Full textThe structure of the balzacian novelistic space stages a complex network: thus is the progress of the progress of the narration based on the different topographical and sociological codes and interdicts, which implies a whole theory of signs. 1) the geography of exchanges draws some bags of insularity, effects of threshold, spots for an access, opening and closing mechanisms, which are so many privileged places for an ideological investment. 2) "comedy of words", "comedy of speech acts": pragmatic provides analysis for the polyphonic variations of the communication (epistolary, non-verbal) and underlines the part of implicit in the enunciative conventions. 3) the apprenticeship of signs runs the risk of indistinction, the chief peril of the xixth century, from balzac's point of view. In search for a lost and impossible communication, nostalgic of a failed restauration, the balzacian text endeavours to found a new legitimacy to a semiotical practice that would recognize thanks to "marks" or "traces"

This includes to go into Balzac's modes of structuring the narrative, on the genetics of writing's point of view. Reader and member of the audience : here is the result of the treatment of space, which builds a theatrical perception of the narrative. Through his successive parts, the character reveals himself as an actor who supports the dramatic structure of the narrative. Also, the function of direction, which is given out to the characters, reflects the relationship between the creator and his creation. This function governs both the narrative composition and the drama structural logic. Besides, studying how the narrative has been written shows how the writing conditions the narrative theatricality. Thus, as the dramatic characteristics of Balzac's writing are demonstrated, his "mal écrire" reveals itself as a dramatic "bien écrire"

Full textThe aim of this work is not to treat Balzac’s novels as a source of information on the operatic scene in early 19th-century France, but rather to examine how that information is transmuted into fiction in la Comedie humaine. Although imaginary, the operatic world recreated by Balzac remains perfectly faithful to its real-life counterpart, and reproduces the complex networks of signs and symbols which make for the specificity and the unity of opera as an art-form. A study of two closely inter-related themes, love and opera, further highlights the process of reconstruction which, throughout la Comedie humaine, transcends a fragmented reality and endows it with the oneness of a work of art. The first part of the work deals with a recurrent motif, the "box scene", which Balzac borrows from literary tradition but subjects to an original treatment, linking it to key aspects of his thought and work (such as the recurrence of characters, the notion of "energy", and so on). The second part focuses on the role of music in the characters' private lives, and examines the way both the author and his characters draw on the wealth of images and metaphors provided by opera

Full textThe purpose of our study is situated in the framework of questioning the basis of the greimassian semiotics and in widening its scope of study. First of all we aim at distinguishing between the fictional and non-fictional speech which is ignored by the traditional semiotics. Next we choose a fictional speech as an object of analysis and try to demonstrate the truth of the semiotic hypothesis according to which the enunciation is a manipulation, factitiveness. In order to do so, we work again on the notion of the enunciated enunciation and on the one of enunciated utterance, which are two levels of the text as far as classical semiotics are concerned. We also aim at distinguishing three levels in the text instead of the two above mentioned : the level of enunciated effect, the one of the narration and the one of the narrated. The manipulation of the enunciator appears, according to us, throughout the three levels of the text. Our approach to the enunciative manipulation takes shape in the actualization and temporalization which are, with spatialization, compulsory operations to produce a speech

Full textScientific, impersonal, dispassionate, disengaged: none of these adjectives is suitable for observation between 1750 and 1850. The spirit of observation was a universal talent. The literary history of this aptitude reveals that science faced, under the name of observation, not only the problem of subjectivity, but also the problem of talent. The more an individual is an observer, the more he perfects himself in contact with the world: the spirit of observation reveals the truth, but it creates difference in minds. The function of the methodology was to recreate a political agreement on the intellectual inequality. These speeches, dwelling with equality, then fed a dissenting thought, from literary bohemia to the socialists of the 19th century, including the Girondins and the liberals. The invention of objectivity closed the debates around 1850 by extolling a conventional substitutability between scientists. Democratic, this reign of the method rests however on an unquestioned imagination: knowledge would precede know-how, experience would be acquired voluntarily, the ego would be independent of its ideas ... These presuppositions are nevertheless questioned by realism aesthetics. By describing "only what others are able to see as well, so that they can judge with full knowledge of the facts" (E. Duranty), the observer author defines a common reality from a critical negotiation on talents. That is why these texts are closer to methodology than to science, and constitute an original epistemological proposition

Full textThis work studies the relationship between Balzac and his editors from 1822-the date of the novelist's first contract with a bookseller-until the end of 1837. The first chapter examines the conditions of the bookstore during the romantic period: the "brevets" issued by the government for the profession of bookseller, the social origin and types of booksellers, the efforts to organize the profession through commissions and meetings of booksellers culminating in 1847 in the creation of "Cercle de la librairie". The second chapter studies the business operations of bookstore: the publicizing books by posters, advertisements, catalogues, specialized periodicals of booksellers, as well as requests for book subscriptions. The third chapter treats the "prêt" - loan accorded to booksellers in November 1830, after the revolution July, the terms of reimbursements and the difficulties of booksellers unable to repay debts. In chapter four, the author studies the first editors of Balzac : his editions of Molière and La Fontaine, and the printing shop of the rue des marais (1826-1828) the author also presents five biographies of five Balzac’s editors : Canel, Mame, Mme Bechet, Gosselin and Werdet, and elsewhere, of Ladvocat and three printers who gravitated around Balzac. The conclusion demonstrates that the personage of the book- sellers entered into literature : any literary texts of this period, and the Illusions perdues, a partly autobiographical novel are good examples

Full textSome problems in the balzacian text belong to the narrative strategy: you can't always trust the description of the narrative and the story may be modified from within by this description. The given narrative project is not always the actual one either, there are sometimes several of them, which are not always compatible

Full textWhen Edmund Burke and Kant deliberate on the aesthetic of the sublime in the late 18th century, they identified concepts such as the infinity and the “astonishment“ as the beginnings of this aesthetic, linked to an instinct of self-preservation. They identify how the origins of the sublime take form around the violence of an emotion, a landscape or a situation: blood, murders, great but terrifying landscapes are all considered a reason for the communication of this aesthetic. Conversely, in Balzac’s work, the sublime is more complex, showing multiple forms all different from one another; the sublime no longer appears only through the somber lens, characteristic of the Romantic Period. This study suggest reconsidering the sublime as plural. The main objective being the establishment of a typology of Balzac’s novels in order to identify the genius of a man who innovated and differentiated himself from other 19th century writers. The beauty, the good, the exemplary, alongside the out-performance of oneself and more, are all categories which appear in this study and allow a now reading of La Comédie humaine

Full textIn the analysis of feminine passions, this study has been most specifically concerned with psychological innovation in Balzac’s works. The study has covered a panoply of themes related to the oscillation of woman between ephemeral love and ever endless melancholy. This continuous struggle between the search for the absolute, the acquisition of fleeing joy that can hardly be seized gives an account of the ills of feminine destiny, the commensurable suffering of women who are trapped within the harsh laws of a patriarchal society. The purpose of this study has therefore been to analyze the exquisite sensitivity, the quality of affection, the innocence and purity of feelings and the coldness as well the tender joy, at times extreme of infantile euphoric and melancholic love or dark melancholic, the profound confusion, the pains of jealousy, the devouring passion, the atrocious suffering and pain, the frailty and the silence, the resistance and the rebellion of a multitude of young girls and women of the human condition through the omniscient eye of Balzac who analyzes feminine emotions. The study has revisited some aspects of the feminine conditions in Balzac’s fictional world, as well certain aspects of feminine psychology. The explosive and the blooming or the distress and frustration of all these feminine lives are translated into emotions more or less related to pleasure and displeasure

Full textOf all the French authors in the XIXth century, Balzac was the best known in Central and Eastern Europe. His reception was less remarkable before 1918, quiet in 1918-1948 and glorious in 1948-1989. Why did Balzac obtain this almost monopoly? Why Balzac and not Flaubert, Zola or Maupassant? We analysed the postscripts and the criticisms of his masterpieces as well as the historical and cultural context. After 1948 the communist power is searching for someone who they can lean on in literature and Balzac emerged victoriously. His powerful era is visible in all the allied countries of the USSR. His work is the subject of ten thousand of the prints, the national publishing houses compete for him, subsidize his literary promotion by linking him with Lenin or very often with Marx, Engels who serve as a surety to open a great way for him. In forty years, Balzac is everywhere. After 1989, the classical literature is already installed but it is also its end. Balzac is no longer fed by the publishing houses: they become private and publish what they want. Only five books are edited. Point of interest of the author of the Human Comedy, however, the Slovak culture is impregnated in his memory

Full textA presente tese tem como objetivo analisar cinco narrativas da literatura fantástica francesa. Para delimitar meu corpus de estudo, selecionei narrativas dos anos 1830 (época na qual a literatura fantástica estabeleceu-se e difundiu-se na França): Melmoth réconcilié (1835), de Honoré de Balzac; La Cafetière (1831), Omphale, histoire rococo (1834), La Morte amoureuse (1836) e La Pipe d’opium (1838), de Théophile Gautier. Este trabalho, tendo um objetivo teórico (o estudo do fantástico enquanto gênero literário) e dois objetivos práticos (o exame das características do fantástico nas narrativas acima mencionadas e a tradução em português do Brasil de Melmoth réconcilié e de Omphale, histoire rococo), é dividido em quatre partes. Na primeira parte, consagro-me ao gênero do fantástico (sua definição, seu lugar na França no que diz respeito à história literária, suas ligações com o estranho e o com o maravilhoso, e, finalmente, suas características no nível discursivo e diegético, bem como no nível figurativo e temático). A segunda e terceira partes, por sua vez, permitem retraçar a forma da constituição do fantástico em algumas das narrativas de Balzac e Gautier. A quarta e última parte apresenta uma síntese do fantástico no âmbito da obra dos dois escritores estudados através de uma proposição de reagrupamento das figuras e dos temas que foram observados no conjunto das narrativas escolhidas.
The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze five French fantastic literary narratives. In order to define the study corpus, I have read stories from the 1830’s (the years during which fantastic literature established itself and circulated widely in France): Melmoth réconcilié (1835) by Honoré de Balzac; La Cafetière (1831), Omphale, histoire rocococo (1834), La Morte amoureuse (1836) and La Pipe d’opium (1838) by Théophile Gautier. This work has a theoretical goal (the study of fantastic literature as a literary genre) and two practical goals (the examination of the characteristics of the fantastic in the forementioned stories and the translation of Melmoth réconcilié and Omphale, histoire rococo into Brazilian Portuguese) and it is divided in four parts. In the first part, I focus on the fantastic genre (its definition, its place in France’s literary history, its relations with the weird and the marvelous and finaly its characteristics on the level of discourse and diegesis, as well as on the level of figures and themes). The second and third parts, on their side, make it possible to retrace how the fantastic is constituted in some of Balzac’s and Gautier’s works. The fourth and last part presents a synthesis of the fantastic in the two authors studied by means of a propostion of regrouping of these figures and themes observed on the whole of the chosen stories.
