Abstract:

Cette these a pour objectif une etude psychanalytique de l'oeuvre de carson maccullers. Partant de l'idee freudienne selon laquelle le texte litteraire, comme toute creation artistique, est un "accomplissement imaginaire" des desirs inconscients de l'auteur, j'ai tente d'analyser l'oeuvre de carson mccullers dans cette optique. Le texte litteraire est considere comme un ensemble de signifiants -mots, style, structurequi ne sont la que pour representer quelque chose qui n'est pas donne d'avance : l'inconscient du sujet producteur<br>This thesis aims at a psychoanalytic study of carson mccullers

Abstract:

Carson McCullers's neglected short stories "Sucker", "Like That", and "The Haunted Boy" depict stark adolescent crises. Her character analyses dramatize important elements of many theories of adolescent psychology. Each of these stories depicts what happens when something goes horribly wrong in the course of an already difficult stage of life. In "Sucker" two different stages of adolescent development collide. Pete and Sucker go through different psychological adjustments. The two boys discover the difficulties of adolescent romance, hero-worship, peer group formation and exclusion, and power

Abstract:

The loneliness theme of Carson McCullers' fiction falls into three divisions or levels. And because of her focus on the individual, her general theme of loneliness as it results from human isolation is universal. She develops her "broad principal theme" through an examination of human characteristics common to all human beings. In expressing her concept of isolation as a human condition, however, she presents loneliness as she believes it exists in her own culture, and, for this reason, her works present a loneliness that results from American cultural attitudes and is tempered by a Southern s

Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal discutir a obra The Ballad of the Sad Café, publicada em 1951, pela escritora norte-americana Carson McCullers, que abordou temas polêmicos, como a sexualidade, papéis sociais e suas respectivas e muitas vezes concomitantes transgressões. Em tal discussão serão analisadas as presenças do Gótico, do Grotesco e de outros elementos literários que se mostram eficazes ao lidarmos com a subversão dos valores patriarcais construídos socialmente. Como pontos cruciais deste trabalho, será traçado um paralelo entre a sociedade vitoriana e a sociedade do Sul nort

Cette étude porte sur Carson Mc Cullers, écrivain du sud des États-Unis, et sur son oeuvre romanesque qui fut publiée entre 1940 et 1961. Carson Mc Cullers accéda au succès et à la célébrité à l'âge de vingt-trois ans. Ses écrits, à la fois douloureux et provoquants, continuent à soulever des interrogations. L'analyse du texte de Carson Mc Cullers permet de mettre à jour les signifiants majeurs qui constituent la structure symbolique de son oeuvre. Le déchiffrage du signifiant nous fait accéder à la dialectique du désir et de l'aliénation qui soutend l'univers imaginaire de l'écrivain. Cette l

Abstract:

In communication, a language user is naturally disposed to proceed from what is known to, or shared by, both the speaker/writer and hearer/reader and end with the information that is the most important. Such a disposition complies with the requirements of Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP), but it also makes a language user “transform” the basic word order. The present work took a functional approach to language study to explore the syntactic potential of English to produce various sentence patterns by carrying out a communicative (functional) analysis of Carson McCullers’ short stories.

Abstract:

The misfit and the dream of escape are popular motifs in American literature, particularly in the literature of the South. Critical studies of works employing these themes have largely ignored the connection between the two. The Southern misfit – the Southerner who fails to or refuses to conform to his society’s strict standards – often dreams of escaping the restrictions of the South for some Northern “promised land.” In the works of two Georgia writers, Carson McCullers and Flannery O’Connor, the related themes receive different treatments.

Abstract:

In this paper, I will examine works of Flannery O’Connor, Eudora Welty, and Carson McCullers, three Southern women writers who wrote during the first half of the twentieth century. While these authors differ in a number of ways, each of them produced work that deals, often explicitly, with ideal Southern womanhood and the expectations this ideal places upon women. Additionally, each of these three authors uses the grotesque as a tool for examining ideal womanhood, most often represented through the ideal of the Southern Lady. This paper is concerned with analyzing the link between the grotesqu

Abstract:

This dissertation argues that the four writers named above use the grotesque to illustrate the increasingly peculiar consequences of the assault of modernity on traditional Southern culture. The basic conflict between the views of Bakhtin and Kayser provides the foundation for defining the grotesque herein, and Geoffrey Harpham's concept of "margins" helps to define interior and exterior areas for the discussion. Chapter 1 lays a foundation for why the South is different from other regions of America, emphasizing the influences of Anglo-Saxon culture and traditions brought to these shores by t

Bordée par le maternel, l'identité féminine est remise en question à chaque crise de vie. La maternité, considérée comme une de ces crises, peut se traduire par une impossibilité à élaborer autour du maternel, comme l'enseigne la clinique de l'interruption de grossesse et de la maltraitance infantile. A la place d'une traversée du maternel, la souffrance s'installe. Ce travail se propose d'analyser l'incidence du maternel dans la création littéraire de quatre femmes écrivains (Mac Cullers, Hebert, Morrison, Huston).

Abstract:

This essay explores gender roles in The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1940) by American author Carson McCullers. Theories and texts by Judith Butler, Nancy Chodorow, Raewyn Connell, Don Zimmerman, and Candice West among others, are used to support the thesis statement that stereotypical gender norms serve to compromise the main character Mick Kelly’s identity formation and her early sexual experiences. One important element of this discussion is the idea that gender is socially constructed rather than biologically given. Moreover, it is argued that gender is something that a person does repeatedly

The main purpose of this thesis is to present and highlight the radical potential in the work of Carson McCullers, primarily through an examination of her representation of young, queer individuals. This thesis argues that McCullers forces her readers to re-think the categories of “child” and “adult” through her creation of ambiguously gendered, sexual child characters.

The first and until now last translation of the drama The Ballad of the Sad Café which was written by Edward Albee based on the novella by Carson McCullers was published 51 years ago.

Abstract:

As they took stock of the ways that the Great Migration and America’s post-war global role were changing the South, Richard Wright, Carson McCullers, Ralph Ellison, and Albert Murray crafted narratives that articulated a particular perspective on the South. These writers dreamed of putting the regionally distinctive characteristics that they found valuable in the South into conversation with a sense of expansiveness and possibility, one that they associated with a migratory and increasingly globally-connected nation.

These novels have all been criticised for formal considerations, often attributed to socio-cultural qualities such as the authors’ gender, ethnicity, and/or p
