Brosseau, Michel. "Le héros romanesque célinien face au sens." Angers, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997ANGE0005.
Full textThe hero of celine's novels has appeared in a time when there was a crisis of the meaning, understood as a direction and a meaning given to a man's life. Being under the crisis of values after the first world war, and after appearing as a prophet and an atoning victim, the different heroes in celine's novels have nothing to do with heroism. Space, time, relationship and guilt are the foundations of the connection between celine's hero and the meaning. Their analysis enables to make appear a representation of man's life centred on the topic of the fall, which is an indication of guilt and death's fear. Man of the past, the hero of celine's novels shows, as in his social and ideological representations than in his look on history, the essential of the world's romantic vision. Considering himself as a special case in a racial, social and stylistic point of view, condamned to be ununderstood by everybody to become a scapegoat, he hates the materialistic society surrounding him, he condamns a mankind with no ideal, and works on the language's ressources to reenchant the world. If lampoon's writing has been an occasion to overpass celine's pessimism, after the world war two, when he has been desappointed by the defeat of biological racism's mystic, the writing, the ennemy of the face to reality and the means to help hate's propagation is only able to note the impossibility to make sens in a world dominated by fencing
Renard, Jean-Claude. "Les figures maternelles dans le roman célinien." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA040162.
Full textLouis Destouches took as a pseudonym his maternal grandmother's first name Céline, which was also his own mother's third name. In a work that is frequently autobiographical, this choice is significant and revealing. Playing a leading role or in the background, the narrator's mother is ever present; sometimes as good fairy, sometimes as which, intrusive or distant, pathetic or sublime. She is essentially dynamic, and the writer's relationship to her is never set. When he's not talking about his own mother, the writer is concerned with the concept of motherhood and the meaning of maternal. In various ways she affects the thoughts, inspiration and style of Céline’s writings. The thesis is described as: the relationship between mother and son, a male writer and his mother and the influences of this maternal heritage (the inability to enjoy life, fixed moral values, nostalgia for the past) which even extends as far as opinions on specific medical practice and mother tongue in his writing

Full textLabreure, David. "Hygiène et hygiénisme chez Louis-Ferdinand Céline." Thesis, Nantes, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017NANT4008.
Full textHygienism is a large public program, in charge of the Health of the social body. It played a major part in Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s Life and Work. Céline has been raised in the observance of hygienic principles, which were widely spread at the beginning of XXth Century. He also becomes a public health doctor after he presented a medical thesis about the hungarian hygienist I.P. Semmelweis whom will serve as a medical and a literary model for him. Céline embraced hygienist themes and brought out a real and original thought about social problems, work medicine or the way doctors should approach hygiene. Some of these themes are located not only in doctor Destouches reflections but also in the literary writings. The hygiene Field’s specificity is that it goes beyond the strict medical aspects and offers also a reflection about social and racial problems through the prism of degeneration during the whole 3rd Republic. Céline’s Eugenics and anti-Semitism take a significant place in his Hygienist thought but are not the only aspects of it. Hygienist paradigm plays also a key role in Céline’s Esthetics towards the Dancer Figure, which he transposes the meticulous work and the aspiration of lightness and Purity to his own writing style. Hygienism, as a difficult and protean concept, offers an efficient reading grid of L.-F. Céline’s Life and Work

Full textLe présent travail propose en première partie une présentation organisée de la correspondance de Louis-Ferdinand Céline. Une typologie des lettres est dessinée, qui prend en compte les destinataires, le rôle de la lettre et le mode de fonctionnement de l'échange épistolaire. Il est souligné que la correspondance évolue en fonction des différents moments de la biographie célinienne, ce qui contribue à fonder son intérêt, sa complexité et sa richesse. En deuxième partie, nous démontrons son importance dans l'imaginaire célinien en la comparant aux lettres qui parsèment l'œuvre littéraire. Nos troisième et quatrième parties sont consacrées à mettre en lumière les relations entre la correspondance et l'œuvre. Ces lettres permettent souvent d'évaluer tout le travail littéraire qui sépare les deux types de production. Mais les liens qui les unissent touchent fondamentalement à l'écriture, ce qui permet aux lettres de Céline d'accéder au statut de correspondance d'écrivain

Full textLouis-Ferdinand Céline's literary style lies on the use of the popular spoken language. In fact, his linguistic process looks like to conform to the traditional grammar rule. However, its application field largely overflows the one of this rule. It consists in communicating some distortion to the spoken language so that it seems to the reader that someone whispers something in his ear. To set up his process, Céline integrated in his works many ingredients: variation of pronunciation, choice of the vocabulary belonging simultaneously to the most heterogeneous registers and levels, syntax mixing every degrees of grammar level. He simplified the classical process by casting off many heaviness of dogmatism. He also multiplied the points of view and mistaken rules to the infinite variety of the sentences structure that French could offer. Therefore, Céline is a writer who opposed to the literary tradition and opened a new way of writing in French literature. His talent and his celebrity are probably due to his original style
Sugiura, Yoriko. "Humour et humeur chez Louis-Ferdinand Céline : une esthétique du noircissement." Rouen, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009ROUEL018.
Full textIndisputably, in Céline’s work, laughter plays a large part. But this laugh is far from being open because it runs with an a priori noncomic element. And one of its main characteristic is to make the self the laughing stock of it. The notion of humour is, according us, the only concept which seems relevant to name this ambivalent laugher. We also privilege the notion of humeur noire (melancholy) connected to humour, which form the other side of this laugh. The analysis is dedicated to elucidate the elements which make the celinian laugher dark or ambiguous : male identity, lost past, broken ideal, oppressive power and hostile reality. Along this work, we discover an almost constant tension between the desire to express his loss and the willingness to subvert the negative state of mind through laugher, two eminent celinian ways to face pain. The study aims at defining humour as both a self-defence and a subversion which allow the writer to survive on the negative side of reality

Full textIn order to do this analysis, is developed an hermeneutic model of analysis which divides Celine's work into a poetical investigation and a polemic pursuit that demonstrate that these two genres use the same rhetorical strategies.
Part I of this thesis investigates the distinct rhetoric used by Celine in mixing poetry and polemic. Part II examines the poetic investigation and the polemic pursuit separately, Celine having separated these two genres after Journey to the End of the Night.
Without eliminating the differences between poetry and polemic, this thesis aims at demonstrating the continuity and coherence of Celine's work which is particularly well suited for putting an hermeneutic model of analysis to the test because it is a work that is torn more than any other between the ravishing and the horrific, between the beautiful and the terrifying. And that is where in this profound humanity Celine's work is so rich in interpretation.

Full textA translation is rooted in its time: it reflects its birth date and gives us insight on its intended readers. When the aesthetic code changes, when the author’s reputation is made, when the political context is different, a new translation is needed. The case of Louis-Ferdinand Celine’s first novel, making its way into the Soviet Union, is significant. Three translations into Russian of the Journey to the end of the night have been published in the course of 60 years: the first by Elsa Triolet (1934), the second by Jurij Korneev (1994) and the third through the collaboration between Alexandra Junko and Jurij Gladilin (1995). We have laid emphasis on Elsa Triolet’s translation as she was Celine’s contemporary and compatriot. Thanks to her, the Journey could be published just-in-time: in 1936, after the publication of Mea Culpa, it could not longer have been authorized in Russia. Background to the tumultuous publication in France of the Journey was the Goncourt Prize and the irony displayed by the chroniclers. In the USSR, its reception was likely to be as stormy. But the situation was quite different: in a country where ideology was the key word, Elsa Triolet’s translation had to insert itself in the literary production of the new Soviet environment. Korneev, Junko and Gladilin had not to experience the same burden. But as they came too late for the Russian reader, their translations couldn’t have the same scope as the Journey when it was first published 60 years before

Full textHikoe, Tomohiro. "Roman et récits légendaires et populaire chez L. -F. Céline." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040048.
Full textIn an article in 1936, Walter Benjamin predicted the decline of oral tale in modern society, in which novels are a favoured means of expression. That very year, Céline demonstrated the same phenomenon in his second novel: in the prologue to Mort à crédit, advised by his cousin to change his genre, Ferdinand tries in vain to tell the " Légende du Roi Krogold ". This parallel allows us to suppose that Céline was himself sensitive to the decline of oral tale phenomenon, and that his novelistic universe is not monolithic. Such a perspective enables us to read the core of the novel Mort à crédit as an account of the coming of age of an author, in other words, as the path of a child forced to relinquish oral tale to come to the prologue where he appears as a novelist. This reading will in fat cast a light on the reason why Céline wrote ballet arguments and scenarios for twenty odd years: these texts are also what Céline must have been relinquishing in spite of himself to write his novels. But at the same time, this reading of Mort à crédit will suggest that instead of relinquishing to set aside oral tale, he devised a kind of synthesis with the novel. Indeed, it is possible to note traces of the synthesis in the stylistic work of Céline

Full textCéline repeated time and time again that he was not a "message" man and that "style" was the only thing that matters in his work. There is in fact a kind of agreement among the Célinian French critic that completely dissociates the great writer from the anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi polemist, divorcing, so to speak, a pure creative agent from the author as a civil person. Following the hypothesis that Céline, the "writer" is "more a philosopher than he wants to admit it", as Marie-Christine Bellosta already put it, this reading of Céline's work presents the influence that mysticism of all kinds, fashionable at the beginning of the twentieth century in Europe, had on the author's vision of the world. This thought from an other age actually contributed to the edification, not only in Céline's novels but also in his polemic writings, of a real "spirituality", based in the search of the "true self", the hatred of "Law" and the cult of a strong and repaired body. In fact Céline, like his friend Henri-Robert Petit and after Alfred Rosenberg, believed he had found in the gnosis' invalid revolt the mythical source of anti-Semitism. Analysing his poetic art as the edification of a new mysticism thus shows the deep coherence existing in his body of work between æsthetic and political discourses. It also recuperates Céline's writings within the framework of Nazism emergence in Europe. Because Céline's anti-Semitism is nothing like a delirium and his adherence to national-socialism is not ambivalent, accidental nor opportunistic, it just takes place in what Emmanuel Levinas called, in "Quelques réflexions sur la philosophie de l'hitlérisme", "a new conception of humanity"

Full textThis study is divided in three parts: the first one starts from a statistical analysis which shows the part and the distribution of songs in Céline’s novels, and puts the emphasis on the closed link between this oral form and his esthetical principles (the transposition ). The second is about the origin and the nature of these songs (opera, operetta and opera-bouffe, popular songs, war songs, Offenbach and the French tradition of opera-comique, nursery rhymes. . . ), the role they play in ideological writings of Céline and the importance of memory they reveal in Céline’s works. The third part focusses on the central position of Céline in the relations between music and literature in the XXth century: is it possible to say that Céline’s style is particularly musical? Is the comparison between music and literature able to bring some new or suggestive remarks in the literary field? In which limits can we speak of Céline’s “little music”? How did Céline take part in the “musicalization of the fiction” (Huxley, point counterpoint)? This study is completed with a close analysis of Céline’s songs (a noeud coulant ! and reglement ), an important bibliography (542 references), and various informations (most of them precedently unrevealed) upon Céline’s passion for songs and opera

Full textThis work describes and interprets the aesthetic forms of verbal violence in Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Réjean Ducharme's novels. The term invective covers fight, conflict, and quarrel. Because this concept is analysed as a " writing fact ", the study privileges the structural and aesthetic dimensions of the fictional discourse. This thesis studies rhetoric and pragmatics of Céline's and Ducharme's novels. It contributes to the definition of the poetics of their works and helps to understand their influence on the social and literary discourses. The theoretical includes pragmatics, rhetoric, narrative semiotics, and also considerations on fictional enunciation. Cultural studies are also used since invective reveals taboos in the social discourse. This work shows that Céline and Ducharme use violence strategies to create challenging writings. These authors have a good standing on the cultural and literary scenes but they break social and aesthetic rules. In Céline's novels, violence is ostentatious; in Ducharme's novels, it's more unpredictable and charming. The actor of violence created by Céline fights the French society and he sees his situation in a glorious way. In a different way of thinking, Ducharme's writings consider dodging as a founding movement. The points of view of the two authors are thus different; however, yet they do not establish a hierarchy since dodging is also a provocative strategy

Full textThis work analyses the german trilogy of louis-ferdinand celine : d'un chateau l'autre, nord, rigodon. It studies his vision of french history of the end of the second world war. From an anti-semitic point of view, celine reads it like a story of "victims" and presents himself like a victim of history and of the jews. Out of the world, he criticizes history not only from an anti-semitic vision. To him, history is a nihilistic movement. He mockes modernity's faith but also creates a style of writing that sets up life against the progress of death

Full textThe aim of this dissertation is to study the process by which the writer louisferdinand celine has become a xxth century classique, in spite of the fact that his controversial novel. Journey to the end of the night, has in a certain extent, for his carreer long, hidden the rest his works. From 1932 (when voyage was published) to his death in 1961, we have analyzed the main conditions of his texts' reception, determined by the image of the writer, often changing but chosen to be as close to his works as possible. The reception domain itself, in which the author strategy and the readers' perceptions are gathered and have evolved, shows how celine's literary project has been influenced by critics and readers, or by what the writer could expect from them, or pretend to expect in his own novels. Thus, some explicit elements of his strategy can be deduced from the social classes of his addressees

Full textBy no means should this thesis be considered as an attempt to rehabilitate the ideology that is undouftedly at work in celine's pamphlets. However, while the ethical condemnation of that ideology is evident, the constitution of a polemical corpus as a research object goes beyond any kind of partisan side-taking. This work studies the position and the importance of celine's pamphlets in his work, considering two main parameters. First, is deals with their relationship to the historical context (end of the 30's), and particularly their "documentary" sources, such as extrem-right cells of antisemitic propaganda. This study allows an extension beyond the reduction of those texts to their antisemitic load and or bascist tendencies. If it is out of question ot mask these tendencies, it is necessary to show other aspects, such as the autobiographical dimension, or the discourse on art and litterature. This analysis is followed by a thorough documentary appendix. Second, through a study of the pamphlets' poetics, the influence of that practice upon celine's work as a novelist is studied. This demonstrates, contrary to some preconceived ideas, that the development of celine's work does not solely inherit the pamphlet style
Roth, Patricia. "Phénoménologie de la description dans l'œuvre romanesque de L. -F. Céline." Paris 4, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA040054.
Full textThe evolution of the celinian description, from Mort à crédit to Féerie pour une autre fois II, forms the object of our study. A text analysis is coupled with a reflexion on the notion of "descriptive" which we value higher than the notion of "description", because the former designates a certain type of dominant within the texts that aim at a certain legibility. We further this theorization due to Philippe Hamon with the contributions of phenomenology and psychoanalysis. In fact, whilst belonging to the tradition of realism in literature, espousing its concern with the transmission of a specific knowledge on people and their social surroundings, Céline marks out his emancipation. The decentration of the subject as shown by Freud led Céline to renew the issues of description, whose documentary function is now assumed by cinema. Description is no longer a representation of the world but the expression of a desiring subject. Writing takes on the dimension of sight with great success, creating a scenery where the euphoria of the show combines with an aspiration to poetry within the prose. Writing becomes synonymous of describing. Using the word "féerie" (faerie), Céline pointed out the descriptive and poetic vocation of his novels

Full textCéline as a "words musician" is now well-known, but the author is also a "pictures collector". In this work, we first count and study pictures that made a strong impression on him and form his ideal museum : Hieronymus Bosch, Peter Bruegel, Dürer, El Greco, Antoine Watteau, Claude Le Lorrain. . . Then, we study the relationships between Céline and the painters he met : Gen Paul, Maurice de Vlaminck, Henri Mahé or Jean Dubuffet, for examples. We notice that picture works as an ideological mark, bound both to time and space. From this consideration we try to explain the literary impressionism that defines Céline's style (compared to Monet's or Seurat's style). We give a look at the different methods used by Céline to transpose the possibilities of painting into writing. We observe how illustrators transposed Céline's novels literary into pictures. To understand Céline antisemitism, we have to learn more about his relationship with images and fantastic genre : the author is haunted by pictures, and particularly by clichés, figures and stereotypes

Full textThis work proposes to put in parallel the novels of Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Claude Simon, guided by the problematic of the mimesis. According to the first of the two principal meanings, the mimesis indicates the interactive relationship between the text and what one proposes to call here out-text; the first two parts of this work are dedicated to the analysis of the relationship between two series of constituent units of text and two categories of out-text: firstly between the constituent units of the text as universe and the empirical reality, secondly between the units of the linguistic dimension of the text and the system of the language. According to the second principal meaning, the mimesis indicates the active process of composition. By putting the reality of composition in the foreground the consubstantiality of two dimensions of universe and language appears in all its indivisible character, and the purpose is to observe the specific mechanism of the composition and its dynamics, first of all on the formal side, secondly on the informal and expansive side of the imaginary. Through these various series of analyses, the aim is to observe the diversity and the specificity of the forms and the means used for the novelistic production, and to show how the Céline and Simon’s works call into question and renew, at the same time, the novelistic creation and the literary theory

Full textThis study relates to the african episode of 'Voyage at the end of the night' of Céline. After a brief analysis of the african universe whe it lays a particular stress on nature, paludism and the space framework, il leads to the colonial society. It acts on this level, of an approach of the social strtification on Bambola-Bragamance. Shows that this colony was governed by a pyramidal structure energy of the Governon to the natives While passing through the soldiers, the civils servant and the tradesmen. Then, it puts forward the topic relating to colonialism, in particular the trade, approached in its forms official and cladestine, justicen the criticism of Catholic Church and the disintegration of the african traditions, before elucading the fiction and the reality in this episode. This study makes a bringing together between the experiments of Celine and the african adventure of the narrator and it leads to the report according to which it is about a transposition of the history lived by the author himself. The transposition is at the level of the references relatinf to the framwork of the account, with the route of the narrator, the african stay and onomastics used. Lastly, it makes a synthetic approach relating to the representation of Bambola-Bragamance, the human condition through this episode and the cincidence of the publication of 'Voyage at the end of the night' with the first steps of the movement of Negritude

Full textWe explored the destiny of Louis-Ferdinand Céline with the gleam of Carl Gustav Jung’s discoveries, the collective unconscious the archetypes and the (acausal) synchronicity. It’s the pagan vision of the world (Weltanschauung) of Carl Gustav Jung since its own research joined again with the depths of the unconscious pagan collective which appeared in our deepening of the work of Louis-Ferdinand Céline. In the thirties, Carl Gustav Jung explored the depths of the collective unconscious through the historical upheavals of the time. In 1936, through the events of the third Reich, in the germanic collective unconscious he distinguished the constellation of the archetype of Wotan. In the destiny of Louis-Ferdinand Celine, the constellation of the shadow appeared since he recommended an alliance with National Socialist Germany in order to ressourcer the celto-germanic roots of France of North in the objective make reappear civilization in the destruction. It was the mark of a pre-christian neo-paganism. With the gleam of the (acausal) synchronicity, we clarified the space-time upheaval of the german trilogy, Castle to castle, North, Rigodon. Just as we studied the "visual" hallucinations of the author. We are leaning on the mystifying character, trickster of Louis-Ferdinand Céline. In the german trilogy, we raised the figure of the celtic interlacings as that of the archetype of the North whose direction seems the ultimate belief in the crossing of Germany in prey with its Twilight of the gods (Götterdämmerung)

Full textThat begins by the sending in February 1949 of Les Épées, first published novel of Nimier, dedicated as : "To the Sergeant Destouches who pays today thirty years of genius and liberty". From Denmark, Céline moderately appreciates the book. However, Nimier does not become discouraged and continues to publish articles in favour of Céline as it was in good taste at this time to boo him, and even to ignore him. With the passing of the years, his action in favour of Céline will increase in power. Until the publication of D'un château l'autre, Céline owes to Nimier most of his relations to the press. Le Hussard bleu, second part of the diptych begun by Les Épées, do better fit to Céline and seals the beginning of their relation. Granted amnesty in 1951, Céline joins Gallimard publisher and can go back to France. He will meet Nimier only in 1955. Nimier quickly becomes a regular of the Villa Maitou. Their relationship will intensify a year later when Nimier enters as a consultant into the Gallimard publisher house. Their relationship only ends when Céline dies

Paradoxically presenting what cannot be, the process requires a kind of death: the human's disappearance into the lines. As an « embroidering of the Time», this death makes the fundamental event: time as an opening. From then on, on the plane of immanence made by the lines and the time out of joint, the misery of the physical body is transfigured towards a body-text in perpetual movement.

Full textThe initial section of this thesis, an overall synthesis in its effects, begins by considering in a general manner the parameters necessary to achieve a scientific approach to editing a literary correspondence. It offers an overview of work accomplished in this field over the last fifty years in France. In the light of these notable examples, there follows a detailed examination and analysis of the principles which determined my own approach to the editing of Céline’s literary correspondence, and also that of other editors. A summary of all these published works is offered. They still only constitute the initial studies in a vast body of work remaining to be undertaken. The problems that they raise and the methods of work thereby initiated are studied in a theoretical exposé which is extended and illustrated by a trial collection, limited to one single month, of the general correspondence, namely January 1950. The second part of the thesis consists of two collections of published papers. Firstly the copies of four particular exchanges of correspondence by Céline which I edited between 1980 and 1995, containing 943 letters in total. The second collection consist of eight papers or articles published in various collected works also between 1980-1995

First, Celine's "geographical" world is analysed: the expression of space being a survey of Celine's territories together with a study of spatialisation. Then, the outlook takes on a broader aspect through a reflexion on the experience of the world revealed in the author's obsessional prejudices

Full textStarting from a letter from an outraged reader, the basis for a rigourous analysis of the diverse works of celine can be undertaken. Paradoxically close to the actual feeling of a work by celine kimself, the letter, as a response to death on the installment plan, allows us to reflect upon celine's works as a whole, as well as his actual writing style. After the consideration of proust as a prototype for celine, this thesis attempts to justify a theoretical interpretation of celine's writings on the basis of death (in his writing). Eight chapters, each presenting a specific, organic death and its cause in the different works will be considered

Full textMore than ever, debates engaging the character of Louis–Ferdinand Céline prevail over assessments of his collected work. The latter tends to receive superficial treatment, falling victim to a distorted perspective, infused with pre-judgment and approached through the prism of the author rather than the work itself. Two ideas, as persistent as they are contradictory prevail: of work that is inherently political and of a writer who is above all a stylist. Emphasising an approach in sync with the chronological development of Celine’s work, this thesis proposes to resurrect the author’s primary intentions. Starting with a contextualisation of Voyage au bout de la nuit, Mea culpa and Bagatelles pour un massacre, it is submitted that the writings of Celine rely on philosophical questioning developed around the same unease as has been witnessed on the legacy of the Enlightenment, but whose consequences, as much for the substance as the form, differ as according to the text. Whilst Voyage au bout de la nuit presents an ontological question centred on the theme for nothingness, Bagatelles pour un massacre pursues an approach where the questioning of the Enlightenment gives rise to aesthetic and sociological claims as well as ideological denunciations. At the extremities of the various texts, Mea culpa forms the basis of this movement from the abstract to the concrete albeit fraught with consequences for the understanding of the work. Thus, this thesis not only contributes to a better understanding of the texts examined, but shows the underlying intellectual universe that connects them

Full textThis work follows an objective: to show and to demonstrate the fact that in the said of the text everything is not said. The journey of the character on three continents and the structure of episodic novel writing contribute to the distortion of the hegemony of a single discourse. To this must be added the fragmentation of space which, as a process both aesthetic and strategic, allows the novelist to escape from the discursive grasp of an ideology that claims to be ubiquitous. This work envisages the narrator, not as a constituted otherness, but as a composite figure made up of the heterogeneous thoughts of the novelist. This figure contains a great reserve of contradictions. We try to recognize in the text the intermittencies of saying and of silence: heterogeneous elements which unfold on a grid of nuances between alienation, disgust and poetry.In the same way that space vacillates between poetry and the prosaic world, the semantic poles of the text, aesthetic and ideological, change borders. Semantic units are transformed into slippery alterity that tend to escape from the process of conceptualization. Unlike any idealistic critical approach which claims to reach the absolute meaning of the object by trying to merge work and life, we show how the aesthetic sense follows its crest path. We approach the concept of heterogeneity not as a purely aesthetic concept that characterizes the framework of Celine's writing but as a spirit underlying the Celinian intellectual universe. Through the use of various methods, Céline's style illustrates the semantic vacillation between alienation and liberation, between commitment and disengagement, between affirmation and denigration

Full textAs an emotion « par excellence » anger particularly defies its setting into words and raises complex pragmatic questions between experienced, written and read angers. In order to determine its specificities we analyse and experiment various pragmatics models (rhetoric, esthetics, ethics) from which the literary theory tries to seize the emotion caused bu the reading, and we expose a method of analysis of the textual affects (semiotic of passions). The possible contributions of philosophical and psychological designs of the emotion, not making the language an essential mediation, are questioned. These various prospects of analysis are then applied to a diachronic study of anger and the imaginaries, forms and values of it we inhenrited. This investigation is seized again thanks to modelings of this passion field. Two singular writings of anger, apparently antithetical but asserting both openly this passion and its energy, are then studied. The texts of Micbaux, displaying a distant attitude, lead us to question how a good use of anger can be the base of poetic power. Féerie pour une autre fois, by L. F. Céline, between rhetorical strategy and aesthetic search of an « émotive » style, gives us to see how a furious crispation, while putting in failure a « classical » reading of the account, allows the deployment of the creative power of the affect. Between a global approach and case studies we reinterpret, through anger, the issues of the expression of passions in the literary space

Full textCéline and Artaud, well known as French 20th century novelists and playwrights, were actually two "poètes maudits" (accursed poets). The forty volumes that compose the corpus of their works were principally written between 1930 and 1960 and remove writing from a world of ideas to a world of the body, so that long-lost vital rhythm could, in theory, be restored. As the linguist Emile Benveniste stated: "Rhythm is a way of flowing", or a state of awareness of the instant's balance. This work tries to show that Céline and Artaud began with the same observation: the ordinary body is doomed to deterioration unless, through the grace of writing and for a brief instant, it is transfigured into a dancing body. Since Artaud and Céline saw God as "dead", "ill" or "being repaired", then only dance could ensure an access to grace, through rhythm and attentive listening

Full textThe main objective of this work is to show that Celine's work is fully in line with his intellectual era. This assertion, obvious for any other writer than Celine, seems to be opposed to the originality everywhere present in the texts and which makes appear to the reader « the mirage of a work without precursor », to use the beautiful formula of Yves Pagès.We would therefore like to trace Celine's intellectual and more precisely philosophical horizon. We will show that Celine's time is haunted by an idea : that of decadence. This idea is linked to a tutelary figure : Nietzsche. Twenty to thirty years after his death, Nietzsche's influence in Europe is considerable : many writers of the Belle Époque evoke Nietzsche and most of them claim a form of intellectual filiation. Celine composes three variations on the theme of decadence : a decadentalist variation, a catastrophist variation, and a mystical variation.The objective of this research is to complete works already undertaken by Celine researchers who have, through books for which this was not the main objective, shown that Celine had integrated in his writings a part of Nietzsche's philosophy. We will also show that Céline's racist discourse is a consequence of the obsession with decadence, and that this discourse is not exclusively found in pamphlets : the fictional work is impregnated with it in an explicit or cryptic way. Céline's racism is not the consequence of a moment of bewilderment, possibly opportunistic, linked to the hazards of history : it is one of the data that structures the image of the world that the writer describes in her works. A certain form of mysticism is the expression of this.At the end of this reflection, it seems to us that Celine's crucial position in literature is reinforced for new reasons. He was able to pose with a particular poetic force this problem of decadence, not without falling into some commonplaces. Céline has shown with renewed effectiveness that decadence was not linked to particular historical conditions, but that it was a universal trend that had to be fought against at all times and in all places. Hence her pessimism, so often commented upon. Through catastrophism and mysticism, Celine formulates two original solutions to the problem of decadence that are the fruits of her time. In this, he prolongs the reflection of Nietzsche and his successors, finding a medium way between simple recovery and dialectical overcoming.In this, Celine is the last decadent

Full textThe novels of L-F Céline in many respects express, in a paroxysmic manner, the troubled experience that the contemporary individual makes of his world and its humanity: « Man is naked, stripped of everything, even of his faith in himself. That is what my book is about », the author summarised on the occasion of the publication of Journey to the End of the Night. « Bankruptcy of traditional recourses », « widespread uncertainty », « a novel about the pain of living» : Céline’s work is in many ways emblematic of the century’s changes and the various disturbances that they seem to have brought about in their wake. The present thesis questions the ability of any study of works of art to offer, as Roger Bastide in typical fashion called it, « a technique of analysing the social », societies, cultures and their transformations. Such a perspective necessarily views the work as a process, and it was therefore a matter here of articulating an approach which focuses on the institution (a study of the inaugural reception of Journey to the End of the Night), on the production of the work itself (a sociological biography of the author), and by means of a study of current readings of L-F Céline (a survey conducted via interviews with approximately forty present-day readers). It is this methodological approach which has allowed me to envisage « the object and its century from one end to the other », and to assess what is expressed and what emerges through the mediation of that work of art, to resituate its persistence to « create a sensation », its sense and value, in the dynamic context of the transformations which have shaped French society from the 1930s through to the present day. Moreover, the tools of clinical sociology have made possible the objectification of turmoil in a work of art : allowing one to identify and situate the expression of the turmoil that this work projects, and placing it in the context of identity-related tensions and conflicts : in social and cultural ‘entre-deux’ situations, which have become more widespread from the beginning of one century to another, and which this work highlights, within a blind spot, the importance in a cultural perspective

Full textThis dissertation focuses on the links between destruction, knowledge and creation in all of Céline's writings (novels, lampoons, early writings, letters), in which knowledge is often depicted as the expression of an elusive and brutal truth so-called scholars are unable to find. It is easier to understand the evolution of this absolute desire to know, expressed by Céline very early on, and to examine his literary innovations when we compare his books to several texts, sometimes little-known, that he was a great reader of : the review Le Correspondant that he used to read during his stay in Africa, the articles of the director Charles Dullin when he was writing Journey to the End of the Night, the books of the art historian Élie Faure in the 1930s, and, after World War II, texts that are typical of the Belle-Époque, such as old issues of the Revue des Deux Mondes or the works of the philosopher Théodule Ribot. The comparison between Céline's writings and these very diverse sources shows where Céline discovers and how he appropriates, transforms or reverses many of the ideas he uses in his books, in which he often tries to make a literary weapon out of this one-of-a-kind knowledge he claims to possess

Full textIn this project, I develop a comparative reading of a series of "personal narratives" produced by Jack London, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Jean-Paul Sartre and Jack Kerouac. My purpose is to analyze how these writers all question their own social status and function as authors, while denying literature’s value and efficiency in aesthetic, politic, and commercial terms. Scrutinizing different figures of these writers which their works offer, I argue that all these literary works are converged in an attempt at defining their positions as writers within their works, societies, and at characterizing their way to exist as human beings. This thesis thematically refers to three great mythical figures often associated with the figure of the artist: Prometheus, Narcissus, and Daedalus. Through Prometheus, I examine the status of writers that think themselves endowed with an almighty speech; through Narcissus, I examine the problems that such a way of investing literature with power generates; through Daedalus, I examine the attempts made by the writers to access a new status within ordinary humanity. In my conclusions, I examine how these writers’ attempt at reforming their authorial status while denying the efficiency of literature, and for this purpose I consider a variety of later literary and visual works in which London, Céline, Sartre and Kerouac are represented
