Full textThis thesis highlights the first steps into writing of a young man who will become the writer Blaise Cendrars. Frederic Louis Sauser, because of his origin, was completely bilingual but also caught into two cultures. As a Swiss, he knew Germany as well as France at the beginning of the XXth century. However, as a result of his desire to be «the first of his name», Blaise Cendrars dismissed all his German training and claimed to have been adopted by France. He chose a French name and made it his. He fought for his new country, France, in 1914: changing his name and committing himself to the French flag, he definitively erased his culture and German training. Because of the studied texts, this work concerns also the middle of the twenties. Nevertheless the years preceding World War I are the most significant years regarding Blaise Cendrars's evolution as a writer, and the ones I focused on. In order to uncover the roots of Blaise Cendrars's work, two approaches were adopted : on one hand the use of texts, like the unpublished novel Aléa or the poem La Légende de Novgorode ; on the other hand the observation of a young writer in his social and cultural environment. Such a close-up to Blaise Cendrars's first steps in literature, a new subject even for the Cendrars's specialists, required both a literary and a historical method. The result demonstrates how the man who said in 1918: «Je suis l'homme qui n'a plus de passé» had completely reinvented his life and created a new existence for himself in the world of literature

Full textThe present work revisits, step by step, Blaise Cendrars’ (1887-1961) Russia : his two fruitful stays in Saint-Petersburg between 1905 and 1911, his readings, and his personal relations – in other words the Russian world which represents a founding part of the inner world and the self-fiction of the writer. The documents from the Russian archive enable us to establish the real facts of his journey, whereas a comparative analysis of his works with Russian literature enlarges the inter-textual field. Cendrars’ relationships with Russians immigrants in Paris bring up the new topic of literary exchanges and cross-influences. A study of Russian critics shows also how his works were perceived in Russia during Soviet and post-Soviet times. A textual and linguistic analysis of La Légende de Novgorode, a text found in Sofia in 1995 and attributed to Cendrars, finally enables us to answer the questions raised by this discovery

Full textBlaise Cendrars was famous for his poems about travels, known as a reporter and as a novelist fond of adventure; critics now consider him rather like a secret and almost esoteric writer. Following that new image, we have studied him as an immense reader and a book lover. A great number of his texts concern libraries, men of letters, the activities of reading, writing, and the books; being considered as a whole, they reveal the two opposite aspects of his attitude in front of a cultural heritage made of books. All these textual images of books allow him to build an original system of symbols, where the book is considered as a magic object. And this re-invention gives him possibilities for a new creation of his own identity and for a particular communion with his readers, by the means of the books he creates. So, on this particular scale of imaginative and symbolic functions given to books, the great number of his activities in this field takes sense and shows a certain unity: his works as a publisher, his formal creations, his illustrated books, the intertextuality and rewriting of other texts we find in his productions. Blaise Cendrard's quest needs the book as a concrete being. His works must be considered as remarquable and important in the creative area represented by the book as an object, in the twentieth century; they go from the dream of a totalizing book, that would contain everything and resume the totality of world and life, to the refined form of his "memoires", all made of the text and its complex depths

Full textThis thesis explores the bursting effect of travel in the works of Blaise Cendrars, Victor Segalen and Albert Londres in their diegetic, metadiegetic and stylistic aspects. The notion of travel goes beyond a mere theme discussed in those texts and affects their very language, challenges their literarity by issuing a bursting threat on them, and contributes to their modernity.This study examines the first works of Blaise Cendrars (1912-1938) and explores the ways in which the joined presence of travel and bursting phenomenon leads to a literary creation of a fractal world. The study of Segalen’s Polynesian period reveals that travel exists as an outcome of a distance invested by desire, and results in a poetic of diffraction in his texts. Finally, the investigation of the role of travel in Albert Londres’ reportages illuminates how travel writing and reportage can work together towards a modern literature

Full textA concern identifying and defining the function and place of blaise cendrars writings within the broader spectrum of twentieth century western literature underlies the main direction of the publication presented in this synthesis. A first section brings attention to the protean, ever shifting irreducible character of a body of works which innovates as much in the realm of poetry as in the art of fiction, which belongs to the mainstream of european avant-gardes and yet cannot be assimilated to any one of them, which resists to any code of interpretation offered by various trends in contemporary literary theory. Henceforth the major part of the studies focusses on the promethean nature of cendrars' art of writing and leads to a considerationof the writer's place within an international context. Identifiable within the framework of a national culture through its linguistic medium, cendrars offers a semantic range which excludes all cultural boundaries. Writing the world and not about the world the belongs reither to the tradition of literary cosmopolitanism nor to the internationalism of literary migration. Totally in congruence with the twentieth century trend toward the globalisation of thought he sets the the case for literary transnationality

Full textBrazil came into Blaise Cendrars’life soon after his meeting with Oswald de Andrade and Paulo Prado, who have invited him to visit Brazil in 1924. Blaise Cendrars will return to this country in 1926 and 1928. These trips have marked his writing in a very profound way. In many aspects, his narratives, his novels, his news articles, essays and following poems reconstitute the stages of an initiatic travel, that of the discovery of Brazil. The French – Swiss writer experienced total communion with the Pau Brazil Manifesto (1924) and the Cannibal Manifesto (1928) by Oswald de Andrade, as well as the modernists conceptions of Mário de Andrade and Paulo Prado, who appeal for a new Literature, against the cultural and intercultural dependence of Brazil towards Europe. Inverting the situation, Blaise Cendrars will make use of the modernists contributions and proposals. The line of study here adopted reconstitutes the main stages through which Blaise Cendrars built a quite personal image of Brazil. The process starts since his departure, and continues as he approached the Brazilian coast. He nurtured a dream of a primitive Brazil, from reflections about the mixed character of the Brazilian people, about its main unusual human types, emblematic; and finally, about the transformations of the modern Brazil, immediately contemporary, since the decades of 1920 – 1930. Therefore, it will be the European, the French-Swiss that will nurture himself, by his writing, from the convictions of Oswald de Andrade, Mário de Andrade and Paulo Prado

Resumo: A observação dos meios pelos quais a obra de Blaise Cendrars se transformou na expressão dos movimentos de vanguarda foi a intenção principal do presente trabalho. A escolha do escritor para o estudo das vanguardas reflete o modo como sua vida e obra foram representativas do espírito do mundo e da arte modernos. O embasamento teórico deste trabalho deu-se a partir de teorias e críticas da poesia em geral, para verificar a constituição da modernidade e a caracterização estética das vanguardas. La Prose du Transsibérien et de la Petite Jehanne de France, corpus central desta pesquisa, é um dos textos que mais exemplifica a estética das vanguardas dentro da obra do poeta, pois o conjunto de recursos estilísticos e artísticos empregados pelos autores, Blaise Cendrars e Sonia Delaunay-Terk, constituíram-na como um paradigma dos movimentos vanguardistas, tornando-a revolucionária entre as artes no início do século XX. Não só La Prose foi representativa das vanguardas, mas também outros títulos de Cendrars consolidaram-se como manifestações desses movimentos. Em toda a obra do poeta evidenciou-se uma forte ligação com as vanguardas, tanto no plano temático, com a presença das inovações vivenciadas pela sociedade do início do século XX, o culto à máquina e à velocidade; quanto no estético, com a aplicação de algumas técnicas vanguardistas: as palavras em liberdade; a valorização da visualidade dos versos, por meio da expressividade da tipografia e da disposição das palavras pela pág...

Full textMore than words, the rhythm is especially important to the poetic message. Contrary to what we see in traditional analysis which limits itself to the study of rhythm in the written word, rhythm is found mostly in the meanders of silence. In this way, like spaces that separate words, like lines or verses that are separated from each other, punctuation participates in the melody of speech. Far from being merely a rhythmic element, although it is not articulated, punctuation has an extremely important grammatical, syntaxical and semantic function. The analysis of punctuation in Cendrars' poetry reveals in this poets' personality the qualities of a grammarian, of a writer and of an artist

Full textThe purpose of this researchis to study the circumstantial conjunctive subordinate clauses in contemporary French in Blaise Cendrars' set, the Tétralogie. The mecanism of subordination in these subordinate clauses is analysed through the various accounts composing this work, starting from the very specific sentence of Cendrars. The study focuses on the numerous subordinating conjunctions which introduce those clauses, on the structure of the sentences they belong to, but also on their order in relation to the main clause according to nuances they express and the mode of their verb. This work is composed of seven chapters corresponding to the seven circumstancial conjunctive subordinate clauses, traditionally recognized as temporal, concessive, hypothetical, causal, consecutive, final and of their order in Cendrars's style. Then we work on determining their us and function in the Cendrars' Tétralogie from their frequency in these books. Lastly, their importance on Cendrars' writing is analysed to determine their impact on the way his sentences are developed

Full textCendrars' links between lived experience and writing are particularly strong. Two experiences may be considered to be the "spiritual source" of his writing: the frightening vision of the big "cubical idol", a vision of desire, and the second one inspired from the vision of the absurd "swarming" effect of life, which is imposing itself to be a vision of reality. Beyond these recognized moulds, Cendrars shapes very early his own "instrument". This very mould is characterized by the rejection of any convention and an ambition without limits. This ambition is revealed by the invention of the "orbicular" sentence which tends to define the entire scope of a subject in one specific jet. There are three stylistical firlds closely connected: the syntax, the figures of discourse and the rhythm. As far as the syntax is concerned, the leading roles of coordination and juxtaposition express the vision of the "swarming" effect of life. This effect is also present in the figures of exuberance. The figures of opposition and the comparison are showing very well the dualistic vision of the world. The uneven groups give often the rhythm which is frequently hurt but scarcely calmed. Cendrars' art is essentially of oral order. The various tonalities show up the amplitude of range. During the course of his professional life, Cendrars the writer is obsessed by the final view : the representation of perpetual movement

Pretende-se ainda analisar a recepção literária da obra de Blaise Cendrars por estes modernistas, numa perspectiva que considera a relação de reciprocidade entre o poeta europeu e o grupo brasileiro. Para tanto, o trabalho tem como foco principal de análise o caderno de poemas Feuilles de Route de Blaise Cendrars, cujo tema é a sua primeira viagem ao Brasil em 1924. Esta obra contém muitas referências aos amigos brasileiros com quem ele conviveu durante sua estadia no país. Por isso, a questão da reciprocidade literária entre o poeta franco-suíço e os modernistas brasileiros é tratada aqui em termos de amizade, tomada como operador conceitual porque ela permite desenvolver as diversas feições desta relação profícua de comunhão intelectual de forma a ressaltar seu caráter de troca livre
Desplechin, Raphaëlle. "Le lieu commun dans "les mémoires" de Cendrars : un mémorial d'écriture." Paris 10, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA100131.
Full textAfter four years of silence, Cendrars started to write l homme fourdroye in 1943, followed bu la main coupee, bourlinguer and le lotissement du ciel. These four books that Cendrars called "memorials that are not memorial" invent the polymere writing volontarily criptical putting the text to the test of its own assertions and obsessions; one can discover its meaning. The quartet keeps alive the memory of all the work of Cendrars that can be read in palimpseste. But the quartet composes also the crude transmission of an experience that does'nt represent anything but that is the principle of the writing. The process of dismemberment is present in the writing itself. The world and the text must be divided, the experience of the amputation must be repeated and the creative injury that gave birth to the left-handed poet must be lived again. Using the code taken from the tradition of the art of memory, the quartet relates the experience of lazareus, close to cendrars'expression. The song of the poet is the song of a necromancer and the quartet is a litterary grave, taking certain uses in the mortuary ritual : epitaphes, ex voto and relics of other texts

Full textAlexandre Nouvel's work intitled Imaginary and figure of the Mother in Cendrars's (1887-1961) and t'Serstevens (1885-1974) body of work doesn't stand in the problematic of Absence or of the Untold/ of the un-said concerning the Mother. It tends rather to analyze how the Imaginary (G. Durand, Les structures anthropologiques de l'imaginaire, 1969) inscribes the ambivalent structure of the Mother Imago into fantasmatical productions/creations which seem to exclude any relation with her. To the image of the Good Mother, there is a opposite one, in t'Serstevens's work, that is the Terrible Mother because distant; with Cendrars, the image of the Malefic Mother, because she generates ontological emptiness from which the Son suffers. The régime Diurne and Nocturne bring together their symbolisms and their structures in order to make appear in fantasms figurations of the Mother image, always with the idea of the schematism of closeness/ rapprochement with t'Serstevens and of fullness with Cendrars, figurations which correspond to the thematic of the lyrical texts (Ph. Hamon, Expositions, 1989)

Full textThis research is dedicated to an hitherto unpublished manuscript put together by Blaise cedars in 1939 in the hope of publishing a book entitled sous Le signe de François Villon. The manuscript contains an handwritten lay-out François Villon and four texts two of which were already published (Une nuit dans la forêt 1929 and Vol à voile 1932) and two other texts as yet unpublished at that time (Sous le signe de François Villon and Le sans nom) but which came out in an abreged version finally in 1952, respectively in La table ronde and in The revue de Paris. In reality such a text was never published so that it could be considered a pseudo-unpublished book. This study starts with the genetical analysis of the handwritten lay-out, which although never brought to print, proves to be the poetic repository of the memoires. Consequently, having evaluated the pratical and theoretical importance of the poet François Villon in the cendrarsian production, this research focuses on the development of the text "Sous le signe de François Villon" this text represents a radical transition in the writer's poetics because it marks irrevocably the advent of the author's self in his writing according to a dialectic process (annihilation, substitution and filiation between Cendrars and Villon) which expresses itself in the philosophical terms of "practice". And lastly, the notion of "prochronie", founder principle of sous Le signe de François Villon becomes the principal object of the research and from that perspective we develop the analysis of the three "prochonies" of this book, apparently heterogeneous, but which possesses a certain poetic unity. In conclusion, we investigate the failed publication of sous Le signe de François Villon (1940-1952) and we propose some answers. Therefore, this work reveals the importance of this manuscript and revives the interest in the publication of such a secret book

Full textThe adventure novel, which brings politics and history into play, is a melting-pot which channelled many novelistic trends between the First and the Second World War. The genre allows us to combine the criteria used in defining these two novels, and to highlight important traits, common to both. Thus journey and adventure, presented as preliminaries to the founding of human happiness, share in the utopian dimension of both novels, whether the aim is to found a factory at the other end of the world or to erect a Russian town as a symbol of communism. Such ventures entail a new layout of time and space, and also a reflection upon authority. The failure of the community promptly leads to a redefinition of the individual's relationship to the other. Finally, the ontological quest, the pervasive presence of death, and the disintegration which threatens the collective body, reveal a profound disruption of the communitarian ethos, which in turn affects the relationship towards writing and towards speech, in both novels

Full textThis study reverses the usual strategy that privileged biographical or symbolic anecdotes. Thanks to a scriptural approach that connected word after word back to its production process, it shows that the chain of often fantastic stories credited to a prodigious imagination, also has a metatextual dimension. Cendrars'writing, an area of confrontation between the logics of meaning and the logics of text, often chooses as its narratives object the operation required by the act of writing and the act of reading, either masked by a stock of themes in which the warlike and the mystical are prominent, or conducting a conflictual dialogue with another writer's text. Cendrars'text, fragmented, re-written, can only be reconstructed by a translinear reading informed by a theory of text that defeats the effect of representation. A given fragment may offer a reflection of the system without that reflection being perceptible in such as a restrical space: defensive strategy of the text. Conversely, cross-references to a limited end ever-recycled lexicon make it possible to reconstitute the system : offensive strategy of the reader. Such as approach changes the writer's class. A traveller on books rather than trains, equipped with a cutting than cut hand, cendrars the poet chisels the words of the dictionary and builds on its typewriter a vast network of which the reader is a part

Full textThe purpose of this thesis was to analyse the way Blaise Cendrars used extracts from Christian literature in his own autobiographical works written between 1943 and 1949 (L'Homme foudroyé, La Main coupée, Bourlinguer, Le Lotissement du ciel, and, a commisioned autobiographical work, La Banlieue de Paris). How did such an agnostic writer, who read Nietzsche, confront himself with religion ? We defined mystical models as poetic mirrors directed towards the half-philosophical/half-literary interpretation of his life. Blaise Cendrars drew three portraits of himself while facing the death and the metaphysical and ontological issues : "the merciless Ironist", scoffing at the nai͏̈vety of faith, "the Lover of the secret of things", fascinated by the beyond mystery and "the Other", a strange figure who vanishes into the mirror of Christian religion and hides himself beneath Dionysos'mask

Full textThis dissertation examines the diversification of styles and representations of the poet in the work of three writers, Blaise Cendrars, Max Jacob and Guillaume Apollinaire. The works studied extend from 1912 to 1919, from before to immediately after World War I, when these poets would establish their careers as initiators of the post-Symbolist avant-garde. Their work exhibits proliferating and often contradictory presentations of the poet, often assigned to fictional speakers, hyperbolically self-deprecating and/or self-glorifying, and displaying disorienting shifts in style and technique. These self-presentations run counter to a crucial trend in modern and contemporary poetry, in which the figure of the poet tends to disappear. Yet self-effacement and excessive self-display both bear witness to the same questioning of the poet’s place in society and the world beyond the boundaries of art. To ask « who is speaking » in the poem entails the question of the poet’s value and legitimacy: on what grounds, from which position, with what right the poet speaks. If the poet no longer has a clear social or symbolic role, he may choose to remove himself from the poem under the pretext that his particular existence has no relevance, – but he may also exploit the indeterminacy of his status to play all the roles he desires; mage, oracle, soldier, pariah, etc. Jacob, Apollinaire et Cendrars opt for this masquerade that manifests at once an anxiety – does the poet have no more role to play? – and an aspiration: to become universal, to speak at last for all human beings – by becoming each individual in turn

Full textAt the beginning of the XXth century poets were unsettled : hesitating between idealism and materialism, freedom and determinism, creation and evolution, they wandered in an ideological « waste land ». In the early works of Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918), Blaise Cendrars (1887-1961), T.S. Eliot (1888-1965), Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) and Hart Crane (1899-1932), distress assumed different forms: from split personality to extreme weariness. The poets’ positions bounced between nihilism, half-hearted attempts at syncretism and bitter irony. As they matured, they recognized however that their restlessness was not a personal matter but a product of the times, perhaps even the main feature, on the level of thought, of the so-called modern times : “the age of comparison”, in Nietzsche’s words. They then renounced to express the singularity of an individual, original, even bizarre vision, and chose to “go back to the world”. Breaking with the literary goals of symbolism, they aimed at becoming the “conscience of the times”, at exposing their conflicting ideologies, and at listing their contrasts. In the first third of the twentieth century, this ideological restlessness pushed poets to redefine their role in the city. It was one of the most powerful forces behind aesthetic innovation: cubism, simultaneism, dialogism and epic lyricism. In this study, we will examine the coherence and main stages of this process

Full textAndrea Zanzotto (Pieve di Soligo, 1921 – Conegliano, 2011), one of the most outstanding poets of the 20th century, showed from an early age a huge interest towards the French linguistic and cultural heritage, above the others. Our thesis highlights how well present his strong relationship with modern French poetry is, testified by his own critical essays, translations and public statements; a connection bound to last for almost seventy years. Only recently the critics have started a comparative approach to the study of the influence of foreign poetry, and French poetry in particular, upon his œuvre. The literary lineage that Zanzotto follows starts with Rimbaud, crosses Surrealism (Eluard ) and then lingers upon a number of authors defined either as heterodox (Michel Leiris, Antonin Artaud,) or extremely critical (Henri Michaux, and Blaise Cendrars, the latter with his short poem titled Pâques à New York, herewith analysed) towards Breton’s movement. Zanzotto also deals with his contemporaries, although with minor depth (André Frénaud, Alain Borne, Edmond Jabès, Jean Tardieu, Michel Deguy, Yves Bonnefoy, René Char). The present research, backed up by textual comparison and the analysis of unpublished translations and documents, focuses on the pioneering features of Zanzotto’s knowledge of all these French authors compared to the subsequent Italian literature, and the reasons behind his ties with the “heretic” current of Surrealism. At the same time, our work explains the intersection, from the linguistic and thematic point of view, with French poetry and shows the poetic outcome of the literary and existential expressions of the Absolute and all-out of French origin

Full textFernand Léger has long reviled "literary" and "narrative" painting, but never has ceased to cross words with poetry. In that regard he falls within a tradition in which, since Manet, the autonomy of art has been clearly asserted in relation to the imposed hierarchy and values of bourgeois culture, so that it can wholly focus on the manifestations of life of its time. It is on that basis, in the clear split separating art and bourgeois culture, that the bond between poets and painters has flourished since then. But what Fernand léger refers to as "modern life" has nothing to do with what the 19th century artists were exposed to. War, assembly lines and industrial metropolis compose the background of his collaboration with Blaise Cendrars, his rendering of Rimbaud's Illuminations or the making of his own illustrated book, Cirque, that this thesis proposes to study

Full textApollinaire, Cendrars et Maïakovski lived in an era of changes which initiated a new order of things, bringing about a transformation best illustrated by technical progress in the minds of these poets who glorified the new means of communication such as the train whose steady movement is the main thread of the whole poem by Cendrars Prose du transsibérien et de la petite Jehanne de France, or the plane glorified by Apollinaire in « Zone » or staged by Maïakovski in Le prolétaire Volant. Travelling became the privileged theme of this poetry consecrated to movement. Foreseeing an irreversible transformation, they were confronted with a new world that they grasped through its wretchedness, its violence and its rawness. The modern city is one of their most emblematic motives and it seems like a theatre set deserving of becoming the subject of a new poetry meant to be innovative. As the heralds of this budding modernity, they became the witnesses and even the spokepersons of wretched mankind who haunts this setting. Apollinaire and Cendrars evoke the migrants, the uprooted and stateless populations in quest for an unrealistic Eldorado whereas Maïakovski in his tragedy Vladimir Maïakovski presented a series of disabled people. If the modern world turned into a subject of observation, it is also a frame for poetic wandering. To Cendrars's thirst for travelling corresponds the problematic questioning of existence whereas Apollinaire, between tradition and modernity, opposes the malaise of the unloved one to the surrounding world. For Maiakovski's part, through heightened lyricism, he desperately seeks to struggle against a « bourgeois spirit » which ignores the misery and great changes of the world and to convince of the necessity to bring about an utter revolution. Impregnated by an acute awareness of novelty, they are caught between an old world, rejected but still present, and an uncertain worrisome future. It's within this context that the problem of the quest for the self is outlined. The poet comes up against a different and insensitive world which doesn't understand him, a world he tries to tame and shape while forging a quite fragile identity. An aesthetic of triviality poeticized in the depiction of a gritty, naked reality in an upfront way and with no hint of exaggeration is born of the poet's observation of the modern world. The beautiful is seen beside the ugly, as for Baudelaire who introduced the modern world to poetry. Thus reality experienced in a sharp way is the focus of the poet's attention and turns out to be poetry. Portraying the reality in its immediacy implies an intense and painful lyricism in which the quest turns out to be moaning, a plea and a rebellion as it questions poetry itself, its new forms and its status and role in the modern world

Full textTestimonies, initially used by judiciary institutions, have found their way into literary creation. Why do people testify? What are the options suggested by literature? True History of the Kelly Gang, La main coupée and Absalom! Absalom! present three types of testimony, which are both different and complementary. Peter Carey approaches this kind of narrative through the fictional letters that the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly is supposed to have written to his daughter. The gallery of portraits assembled by Blaise Cendrars describes a soldier's experience during WWI ; this soldier's features are so similar to the author's that the two men's identities appear to merge. William Faulkner continues his saga of southern families : Quentin Compson tries to recreate Thomas Sutpen's story by confronting the narratives of various witnesses in order to discover the truth about that man and above all about an extinct or fallen society. What is common to the three authors is the way in which fiction and ‘real life' - two contradictory yet inseparable notions - coexist in their narratives. Each of them offers an original narrative method (examined here from the perspective developed by Derrida) to “condition” this type of story. The three methods seem to be answers to the conundrum of how to produce a narrative that is ‘true' to reality. But in addition to being a quest where the characters are concerned, each of them is also a distinct challenge for the writer who needs to pull off a literary tour de force

Full textThe presence and importance of the French literature in Brazilian Art and the literature in the first half of the 20th century – at the very moment of the affirmation of its modernity – have been established. Based on a review of French translations and a reading of numerous artists’ and writers’ correspondence, as well as the "Brazilian texts" of Blaise Cendrars, Benjamin Péret and Georges Bernanos, our work is to identify traces of this influence in France and within the French literary production itself.To do this, we propose to play with the variety of meanings of the notion of resonance to diversify the approaches to the literary text, bringing into dialogue political and cultural History, History of art and literature, but also literary criticism, study of translation and stylistics. We’ll consider that a work resonates – through translation or criticism – or that a name resonates - in a literary work or in the press. We’ll distinguish resonances within libraries, corpus, books, texts, lists; but also echo chambers to figure the literary, editorial or political field or even a cultural or linguistic area. Eventually, we’ll study resonances between different types of discourse (literary, historical, political, legal), between texts, images, languages. In short, using the case of the Franco-Brazilian literary exchanges as a starting point, the aim is to take a fresh look at the unwillingness of the French literature to what is foreign to it

Full textThe purpose of this work is to explore a literary and cultural paradox : the re-writings of lives of Christian saints, both historical and fictional, by non-confessional authors of the twentieth century (André Gide, Blaise Cendrars, Joseph Delteil, Christian Bobin, Sylvie Germain, Claude Louis-Combet). What variations did they bring to the hagiographical genre and to the figure of the saint compared to the mediaeval tradition, as exemplified by the Légende Dorée, and to Catholic tradition, both religious and literary, represented by fellow authors of the same period ? Furthermore, what is the meaning of this unexpected return to the origins on the part of authors marked by the modern world or living in a post-modern context ?At the crossroads of anthropology, literary history, history of Religions and Ideas, this work aims first of all at exploring the basis of non-confessional hagiography, from the spiritual quest of the author to the definition of their atypical status, from the depiction of the saint to the definition of a model of sainthood. In the second part, we will probe the metamorphoses of the genre, how the subversive play shifts towards the fiction of intimacy and the literature of ideas. Finally, we will try to demonstrate how hagiography combines reflections on the status of the writer, the function of literature, the powers of language and the conception of a literary language

Full textIn the poetry and in the poetic and esthetic theories of Apollinaire, Cendrars and Reverdy, between « Pâques à New York » and « Zone » in 1912, and Le Manifeste du surréalisme by Breton in 1924, fracture determines poetic forms. Evidently connected to the abandonment of mimesis as imitation of reality, this new poetic tendency wants clean break with realism, but also rejoins the vitalist conceptions of Nietzsche and Whitman, through a new conception of poetic image and language, with a seemingly paradoxical ambition to reinvent « realism » in poetry by “bringing together distant realities” (Reverdy). Particularly the devices of “visual poetry” produce certain effects in the act of reading as an experience and experimentation both. What are the challenges of these "poetics of reality" or of this “lyricism of the real” and their place within modern poetry in general ? These experiences and experiments of the poetry, characterized by fracture of forms, and usage of “raw” fragments, elements of reality, are studied here with a phenomenological approach, but from an essentially aesthetic point of view. The merit of the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty is that it highlights the corporal aspects of perception, and it’s exactly in that sense that all these experiments represent poetic strategies of immersing the reader in the aesthetic experience and devices of corporeal reception which tends to be more « instinctive », even « pre-linguistic », and according to the expression of Merleau-Ponty, « pre-objective », thus concerning also the invention of language, and poetry as “parole parlante”
Marineau, Hélène. "Le Concept d'aventure dans la prose narrative française du vingtième siècle." Paris 8, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA083151.
Full textThrough adventure, literature's topos, par excellence, Robert Louis Stevenson, Marcel Schwob, Pierre Mac Orlan and Blaise Cendrars, demonstrate the urgency, in an age of rationalism and historical positivism, to restore imagination as a cognitive tool in its essential social and political functions in the making of any human community. Apologist of the romance, Stevenson excavates the common ground between novel and romance, as well as history and literature, namely the art of narrative that is the point of view from which to consider the representation of reality. Whereas the novel and history tend to approach reality as content, the romance points to its principle of creation. The shifting of point of view from reality to representation, from content to principle, allows for the emergence of another conception of subjectivity as well as another relation to knowledge. Following Stevenson, French authors, especially in the context of World War One, extend Stevenson's epistemological and ontological questions at stake in his adventurous reflection on imagination beyond the literary debate to society at large

Full textThe aim of this thesis is the development of an eco-binder based on industrial co-products : a wastepapery ash and a ground granulated blast-furnace slag, for the manufacture of dry mortars. On the one hand,this eco-binder was developed to replace partially cement as a constituent of traditional materials, andon the other hand to recycle in large quantities one of these two industrial wastes ; wastepaper fly ashwith considering all the notions of circular economy and eco-design. From literature, there are numerousand relevant research works on the different types of ash and slag, highlighting the characteristics, themineralogy, the reactivity of the wastepaper fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slags in details.These two co-products with about 20 wt.% SiO2 and 50 wt.% CaO have a chemical composition veryclose to that of a cement and develop pozzolanic properties that can replace those of cement. Theirvalorization as a binder material is then possible. A complete knowledge of the physicochemical, structuraland mineralogical properties of wastepaper fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag led to anexploratory study of formulations for dry mortars. The mixtures containing 72 wt.% of wastepaper fly ashand 28 wt.% of ground granulated blast-furnace slag were investigated with reference to the formulationof a standard mortar to optimize the water content and compaction energy level. A specific equipment forcompacting prismatic specimens with dimensions 4x4x16 cm3 was used. The effect of adding three types ofactivators i.e. calcium chloride CaCl2, sodium metasilicate Na2O3Si and sodium carbonate Na2CO3, anda small amount of cement i.e. 5 wt.% and 10 wt.% was analyzed. The relation between mechanical strengthand the microstructure of the mixtures has been detailed and discussed. Two optimal formulations wereimplemented and, mineralogy, mechanical strength at 2, 7 and 28 days of curing, microstructure withSEM images, pore distributions and durability have been considered and analyzed. Taking into accountthe satisfactory results obtained, a semi-industrial approach to manufacture 15x15x15 cm3 blocks fromthe two selected formulations was conducted and discussed. The first results show a great interest in themanufacture of blocks of pavement and derived products for the construction of pedestrian or reducedtraffic areas
Younsi, Akli. "Carbonatation de bétons à forts taux de substitution du ciment par des additions minérales." Thesis, La Rochelle, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LAROS342/document.
Full textCement is the main source of environmental impacts of concrete use. It is thus recognized that the most pragmatic solution for minimizing environmental impacts of concrete is the reduction of the cement content. This could be achieved by replacing a part of cement by mineral additions such as fly ash or blast-furnace slag during concrete mixing.The present work aims at studying the physico-chemical phenomena occurring during the process of carbonation of concrete mixtures with high substitution rates of cement by mineral additions and their resistance against this type of attack.An experimental campaign was conducted on reference concrete mixtures prepared with common cements and on other concrete mixtures, called “Écobétons” (Green concretes), prepared by replacing a part of cement by fly ash or blast-furnace slag. The study focused on the Écobétons durability, especially their resistance against carbonation, on the equivalence of Écobétons performances with the reference mixtures performances and on the composition and microstructure parameters controlling the kinetics of carbonation. Carbonation has been studied in natural and accelerated conditions. The results show that Écobétons mixtures with high substitution rates of cement by fly ash (50 %) and blast-furnace slag (75 %) could replace, in some cases, concretes that are in accordance with the current standard.In addition to the experimental study, numerical simulations of the coupling between hydration and drying were conducted in order to determine the effect of drying on the properties controlling the accelerated carbonation kinetics of the studied concrete mixtures (porosity, Portlandite content and water saturation degree). The results show that the kinetics of drying increases with the degree of substitution of cement by mineral additions. They also question the relevance of the preconditioning of the samples during accelerated carbonation test conducted according to the French standard XP P 18-458

Full textThe main objective of this thesis is to explain the intricacies of the representations of literary heritage in Blaise Cendrars’ Bourlinguer. The first chapter studies the intertextual relationships between Bourlinguer and a handful of texts (mainly Rudyard Kipling’s Kim) and thus shows how Cendrars uses knowledge as a tool to understand his identity and reality. The same chapter also sheds light on a peculiar process by which Cendrars simultaneously invokes and rejects literary influences, granting him prestige and impertinence at the same time. The second chapter analyses several types of libraries, the act of reading itself and Cendrars’ esthetic masters. Bourlinguer insists on experience and lucidity in reading, as well as on the importance of liberating oneself from authorities, paternal, literary or otherwise.
