Fermi, Elena. "Jean Cocteau et l'Italie." Montpellier 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005MON30075.
Full textAs the title underlines, the thesis Jean Cocteau et l'Italie deals with the analysis of the relations between J. C. And Italy. It becomes part of the trend of studies which, mainly during last years, have been dealing with Jean Cocteau European dimension, underlining the influence the poet had on the European culture in the first part of XXth century. Jean Cocteau et l'Italie tries to reconstruct an outline of the relations between the poet and the peninsula. The thesis is devided into four chapters, each of them dealing with a particular side of the problem: the journeys of the poet, his relations, the image of Italy in his work, how people aknowledge it and how italians judge the character. The appendix contains a series of unpublished textes (in particular some correspondence letters), showing the depth and the importance of the human and artistic relations between the poet and his Italian contemporaries: from Giorgio De Chirico to Alberto Savino, from Gabriele D'Annunzio to Fabrizio Clerici. This research is a first way to offer a synthesis of a very rich and interesting subject. Its importance is witnessed, above all, by the results of the archeological research dealt in different archives (French and Italian especially), which showed the importance of the relationship between Italy and the poet, for his literary history, personality and works

Full textJean Cocteau, poet with numerous types of writing, very early integrated choregraphic art into his poetic creation. That way sublimated daily reality, symbolic characters and many other recurrent themes and patterns can be found again and again both in his poems and ballets. This interaction between poetry and dance had definite repercussions in his works leading to a deep cohesion. Poetry became in Cocteau's works a strength that filled the whole world and that only the poet as a medium could fully grasp. Drawing from the various sources of mysticism, Cocteau develops a view of a 'pluridimensional' universe made of worlds that endlessly fit together, abolishing the concept of time, reflecting merely the interlocking of space. Vacillating between secrecy and explanations, Cocteau's paradoxical choices dismayed the critics and gave birth to many misunderstandings. And yet in his own way Cocteau, fascinated by the choregraphic creation, carried on the French traditions of 'ballet-theatre'. Following his example, other writers (Claudel, Cendrars, Picabia, Valery, Gide) tried the adventure and this movement which was most patent between the two wars reopens the debate on the relation between dance and poetry and on the purity in art
Rivière, Hélène Elisabeth. "L'Univers poétique de Jean Cocteau." Aix-Marseille 1, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987AIX10087.
Full textJean cocteau's poetical world refers to several elements which melt together and give birth to one single entity. Childhood plays a prominent part with family, nature, animals and enchantment. Love, early discovered, gets quickly ambiguous and falls into pessimism leading to death. Poetry embodies life reverse, death and love through gods and the mirror. With creation, the poet has to retire within himself in solitude and suffer a real delivery. Those different aspects show-if necessary- the author's extraordinary singularity
Jih, Jon-Hyun. "Jean Cocteau : le corps-écriture." Lyon 2, 2006. http://theses.univ-lyon2.fr/documents/lyon2/2006/jih_jh.
Full textPoetic universe of Jean Cocteau is fascinating when he talks about the human body, that of the author of course, but also our own. What other approach could involve so instinctively, emotionally, as it were, so directly a reader in the depth of the writings. Each Cocteau’s word designating a symbolic part of his body, incite us to go in search of the intimate, real and complex connection of the human being with his vital, carnal tabernacle. In this thesis, we want, first of all, to expound and to have a view of this unknown figure of Cocteau’s writings. On this way, we’re also requested to detect an obsessive presence of a second body, vaporous, invisible and almost a phantom. In fact, it represents a poet’s whole mind structure, his psychic organ dreamed, sublimated and specially meaningful. Through this ideal mind body, Cocteau tries to transmit us his unparalleled message : the poetry does be. All things considered, the writings of Cocteau show a body-writings composed by words, human body and undying poetic essence
Bonnafous, Saurine. "Jean Cocteau et la photographie." Montpellier 3, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002MON30056.
Full textJean Cocteau is well known for his polymorphic work : literature, cinema, drawing. Photography however represents a new aspect of the poets research. Photographer in the first part of his life, he was also an omnipresent model and faced the objectives of the most famous, multiplying his sittings in search of the ideal portrait. Jean Cocteau never tired of this medium, although, without any doubt, it is in writing that he occupies a dominating place. By studying the forewords of books dedicated to photographer, critical speach and fiction, photography is revealed to the poet and becomes a new " vehicle for poetry "
El, Gharbie Rana. "Les journaux de Jean Cocteau." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040055.
Full textIn this thesis, we take on Jean Cocteau’s full body of diaristic work. The poet has eight different diaries to his name spanning from 1928 until his death in 1963 : Opium. Journal de désintoxication, Tour du monde en 80 jours, Journal 1942-1945, La Belle et la Bête. Journal d’un film, La Difficulté d’être, Maalesh. Journal d’une tournée de théâtre, Journal d’un inconnu and Le Passé défini.We will begin by presenting the author’s diaristic practice and defining his approach to the genre. The aim is to demonstrate this activity’s importance to the poet on the one hand, and reveal the diarist’s originality in this form of writing on the other.Then, we will focus on two essential elements in his conception of the genre: publication and readership. We will firstly attend to the writer’s editorial work in order to understand where he positions the sum of his diaries within the field of literature. Secondly, we will define the typical diary reader and identify the different harnessing strategies the poet resorts to. It is with an eye on the potential reader, who is in direct opposition with Cocteau’s contemporary critic, that the writer aspires to immortalize his unmasked soul
Prpić, Maya. "Jean Cocteau : la morale du poète." Thesis, McGill University, 1990. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=59382.
Full textThree works in particular, Opium--Journal d'une desintoxication, La difficulte d'etre et le Journal d'un inconnu, permit us to retrace his poetic course.
Cocteau's art rests on the notion he has of poetry. With the help of the example set by Erik Satie, Raymond Radiguet and Pablo Picasso, he understood at an early age that poetry resided within him and that only by exploring himself and by following a set of morals--in this instance, morals signifies behaviour which conforms to the demands of poetry--would he attain a level of pure poetry.
All of this is evident as much in the ideas the poet conveys as in his style. The personality of the poet, his "ligne" to use Cocteau's words, becomes apparent the more the idea is accurate and the word chosen significant. As a result of this "ligne", of its presence in the work, the poet approaches immortality.
According to Cocteau, the work of a poet cannot flourish within human limits. The poet must transcend such limits to embody universal activity. It is for this reason that the poet must redefine religion and create for himself a personal mythology, that he must reconstruct the world starting from a play of spatial and temporal perspectives. His role thus proves essential to human survival. In effect, the poet fills the cosmic void in which man is evolving.
Piovi-Lambertin, Patricia. "Jean Cocteau. Une poétique du sommeil." Montpellier 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005MON30047.
Full textThis study is meant to prove the assumption according to which sleep is a major theme in Jean Cocteau's poetry (French poet 1889-1963). The study of Jean Cocteau's work has been here organised into three major themes : The importance of the theme of “sleep” in the novels, plays, poems and artistic works of the poet. The various forms given to the concept of sleep and their function in the studied works. The part played by sleep in the poet's own life and its repercussions in his work. This piece of research tends to bring forward a vision of the world, a logic of sleep which is part of Cocteau's poetical approach and the specific spaces sleep create in the life and work of this poet of sleep

Full text"the theatre poetry" of jean cocteau consists of a work conveying the utmost truth which provokes a new glances unveiling the routine that we hide behind. This theatrical conception is summarized into three methods : the rehabilitation of the commonplace, the rejuvenation of the myth and the renewal of devoid themes. Through the constant presence of the personage representing the poet, cocteau puts emphasis on the moral value of poetry and proceeds with his eternal search of the unknown and the truth. Theatre has allowed him to realize not only total art, but also his own myth
JEJCIC, IEMMA MARIE. "Jean cocteau ; le desir a la lettre." Paris 7, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA070048.
Full textJean cocteau hardly finds his place in the literary pantheon. His colleagues readily accuse him of deception; however, out of any mode, the youth continues loving him. His ability for keeping up a truant pleasure amounts to a hapax. That paradox, which is unavoidable but unclassifiable, becomes a symptom. Translated into freudian language, this lacanian title - the desire to the letter -would become : the stroke of wit and its relation with the unconscious. The stroke of wit (wits) is the letter where freud repeatedly locates the desire : the sequence of significants, in their relation with sexuality, denouced the unconscious ; the analysis of dream showed the rhetorical work ; finally the declination of the expression of phantasm revealed the grammar of impulse. Freud interpreted the unconscious ; lacan followed the desire to the letter. The analysis of cocteau's writings allows one to observe how, by changing his expression, he changed his position. In consequence the deception he is accused of turns out to proceed from the use of the "semblance" that is organizing a possible "sublimation" we define it as the writing of the uninscribable of the sexual relation. The trace of which denounces instantaneously the phantasm that ruled it. The "literal" analysis of his writings lays bare the tear of the "littoral" that they concealed, i. E. The dead end of knowledge for an individual trapped in his enjoyment. Just like joyce, the individual cocteau supported himself by writing but probably went beyond that position

Full textThe issue of the German reception of Jean Cocteau opens a large space where he plays with identities which he systematically instrumentalizes for his “self-fashioning” (Greenblatt). In this perspective the thesis first procedes to the historical and analytical description of the criticism of Cocteau’s “poésie de théâtre” in Germany. Based on a large dossier of over 2. 000 press articles, the thesis gives a synopsis of several hundred theatratical productions in German language until the year 2000, and discusses, in its hermeneutical approach, the reasons for the changing reception. After an analysis of Cocteau’s writings about his own reception, the thesis then shows that the poet instrumentalizes and fashions this reception for occasional or permanent aims. On the systematical background of Cocteau’s poetics, the thesis reads the poet’s recurrent self-fashioning as the “persecuted poet” as a rhetorical strategy which constantly claims artistic originality and personal authenticity

Full textThis dissertation investigates the work of Jean Cocteau and particularly his cinema from an intermedial perspective. The questions relevant to intermediality are addressed in relation to aesthetic considerations, thus confronting the configuration and invention of forms with the reflections on reality – its perception and knowledge – that generated them. As form itself marks the interface of reality and the subject and mediates between reality and the perceptive knowledge of it, this paper investigates the perception and filmic construction of reality, questions of illusion and representation that constitute the primordial preoccupations of Cocteau. His aesthetic conceptions are confronted with their ontological and epistemological conditions. The analysis of the six films that Cocteau has written and directed shows how the poet has put into practice his ideas and conceptions. They respond to the question how and why Cocteau integrates the other in the cinema and ‘impurifies’ its surface. Looking for an aesthetic of its own, the first art form cinema referred to was the theatre. It imposed its solutions where the cinema had not yet solved its own questions of representation. Should one go with the theatre? or against it? In this dissertation, theatre is understood both as artistic model (theatre) and as an aesthetic element (theatricality). Thus, on the one hand, we retrace the relations of cinema and theatre in the work of Jean Cocteau and, on the other hand, we describe a cinematographic theatricality that is no longer immediately related to theatre, but that refers to the aesthetic structures of the cinema that are in concordance with that of the theatre

Full textA clear message emerges from Cocteau's Poesie as a response to the two aspects of Orpheus: the first is represented by the processes of individual creativity, and the second by the collective realization of a project, whether it be a work of theatre, the production of a film, or the design and realization of a building.

Full textAs the suspicion of dispersion and frivolity turns on his being as well as his art, Jean Cocteau had recourse to the word "line" to conjure up "the permanence of [his] personality" and the singularities of his esthetic. The word allowed to federate his two basic activities: draw and writing. Actually, after the disavowal of his vain youth made in le Potomak, he tried to be a poet and to respect three esthetical principles, that had the responsibility of celebrating his originality: simplicity, density, relief his literary style, his poems, his novels and his theatral works prove all this. Almost graphic and linear, the plastic work confirms this personal line. Nevertheless, the creation as well as the creator, had to admit the centrifugal force, the spiritual and psychological one, that threatened that will of unity, which founded a peculiar poetical thought

Full textA parallel between author and work allows us to penetrate into the creator's fate in relation to that of his works, and reveals why, in the case of Jean Cocteau, the shape of his work does not always coincide with the bulk of his figure. His progress towards a literary achievement goes through different stages of apprenticeship and evolution: an apprenticeship of new artistic values, codified by the new spirit, is not incompatible with reverting to a classical vision of art. The urgency of an unusual reading-over of Cocteau’s work through the meanders of hundreds of critical appraisals it raised in the press, and within the limits of half a century, proceeds from an ideal of literary fairness towards Cocteau. If reviewers of Cocteau’s works are motivated more by their personal sensibility than by the political line of their paper, it is owing to the fact that Cocteau adopts a calchas attitude. Ill interpreted, such attitude nevertheless contributes to Cocteau’s greatness, whose only engagement is to his own work. The myth of his work (consubstantial with the myth of poetry) is inherent to Cocteau. His successive assumptions and allegiances, in the presence of an out-world, which he calls the unknown, reveal his status of an author (consubstantial with the myth of a poet) under the features of a hero (Orpheus) from Greek tragedy. On the other hand, Cocteau’s myth is inherent to journalistic criticism, taken off-balance, in a perspective of mythical fight, by the diversity of his work. Far from being prejudicial to Cocteau, the dividing between praisers and disparagers has generated an exchange more useful to the displaying of his work than to the critical appreciation of his judges

Full textSiegfried Kracauer identifies two main tendencies of cinema: the "realistic tendency" in which the images depict the world in its material reality, and the "formative tendency" which gives absolute priority to an artistic reverie that is fully detached from the surrounding world. For Kracaeur, these tendencies are derived from two contradictory ethical postures of man who either has an immersive relation with the world or, when the immersion is impossible, withdraws into his own self. This binary cleavage can be questioned through the concept of dislocation. Studying the troubled relation between man and a world that has become hardly habitable, dislocation suggests an intermediate ethical posture which falls between immersion and detachment, presence in and absence from the world. Following Stanley Cavell's film theory, and studied through the films of Wim Wenders, Theo Angelopoulos and Jean Cocteau, this concept not only paves the way for the conception of a third tendency that we call the "dislocative tendency" of cinema, but can also, through the exploration of the narrative, aesthetical and "ontological" issues that it mobilizes, draw the features of an eventual "cinema of dislocation"
PARK, DONG-JOON. "L'illusion et le double des personnages dans l'oeuvre theatrale de jean cocteau." Nantes, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997NANT3029.
Full textThe analysis of jean cocteau's dramatic art from the themes of illusion and the double of characters forms the subject-matter of this thesis. His characters lay bare the obvious or virtual presence of four ethological elements (ethological since they broach the characterization of his dramatis personal): the heros, the society in which he lives, the author and his readers. Studying cocteau and his dramatic art means, above all, trying to understand his poetic calling and the universe he sets out in his plays. By introducing mythical and legendary elements, he depicts a life in which time and space take another dimension. In such a universe, he thinks that the world is run by two contradictory forces, the unpoetic and poetic forces, and that life is an endless quest of reality. In cocteau's theatrical works, illusion is a phenomenon caused by his characters' inability to reach the primitive world, the false value and human conditions, as they fear fate and what is finite, collective and divine. In the author's mind, the double of a character is nothing but anther figure generated by this illusion. These themes are dealt with throughout his texts which bring about what we could call a source of energy due to the dramatic development of each play. An emphasis is laid on the existence of the poetic world and the possibility to approach it, provided that illusion is eluded and the double abandoned, after finding back one'own equilibrium. Thus, the themes of illusion and the double defining both cocteau's universe and cocteau's characters enables us to approach and understand his dramatic art together with his purposes towards his readers

Full textA Worldly Ethnology: Cocteau's vision of Egypt is to understand how the famous French poet and playwright perceived the land of the Pharaohs in the early 1950s. Jean Cocteau travels it during a theater tour of the Comédie French. He writes his impressions and moods in a narrative entitled Maalesh, an expression borrowed from the Egyptian language of everyday life. This travelogue breaks with the style and vision of Romantic Orientalism which other travel writers like Gérard de Nerval or Pierre Loti were impregnated with. Maalesh is an unknown work, yet particularly interesting to study because it represents for Cocteau a sort of culmination in his incessant quest for an understanding of death, which has obsessed him since his childhood. Ancient Egypt, especially the enigmatic Sphinx he considers a "god", will provide answers. Although carried away by the mundane evenings of Cairo and Alexandria, Jean Cocteau also gives a strong testimony on an Egyptian society in full transformation which begins to free itself from the colonization. In describing the apparent misery that is eating away at the country, it will attract the wrath of King Farouk. This will prevent Maalesh from being read enough by the Egyptians. This thesis also tries to fill this gap by proposing a translation of a good part of the book, which will be accessible to Arabic-speaking students and scholars

Full textOften stared, rarely considered, the personality and works of jean cocteau have generated many comments. The theatrical part of his works in all its diversity hasn't really aroused the interest of his followers. There are still areas of obscurity around his works covering half the twentieth century. There are many projects and achievements, the memory of which history has lost or changed : more than thirty years after the death of the poet, a page of his theatre's history still remains to be written. From the start, jean cocteau linked the destinies of his theatre to those of the circus and the music-hall : from the adaptation of a midsummer night dream (1913-1915) to orphee (1926) those arts establish a link both technical and thematic between shows equally involving painters such as picasso , jean hugo, irene lagut and musiciens like stravinsly, satie, le groupe des six. True artistics events, the premieres often gave raise to scandals widely reported ans commentated in the current newspapers. The circus and the music-hall were omnipresent in his first works, and were alos elements in the fouding of a theatre mainly visual. However, the circus and music-hall disappeared just as jean cocteau perfected his theatrical technique and elaborated his own mythology. While conserving his past skills the poet went slowly howards a theatre wich didn't give priority to visual aspects : the textual research progressively taking over the scenic research

Full textEn la presente investigación se estudian diversas obras literarias producidas por el escritor francés Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) con el fin de dilucidar una determinada poética que se realiza plenamente en dos formas artísticas primordiales: el drama y el teatro. Para ello distingo una serie estadios creativos que van modelando el proceso escritural del autor y que dan cuenta de la densidad de su proyecto dentro de un contexto cultural específico. El desarrollo de la investigación se divide en tres capítulos que visibilizan este proceso y la construcción de una poética: el primero de ellos, dedicado a enmarcar las primeras producciones del autor, a establecer su relación con los movimientos de vanguardia y a sentar las bases de un proyecto artístico que concibe el texto dramático y su representación como partes fundamentales de su elaboración. En los capítulos segundo y tercero se postulan, respectivamente, dos líneas de abordaje: una de carácter filosófica-estética, en la que problematizo el concepto de verdad asociado a la realidad, y otra dramática-teatral, en la que sostengo que la poética de Cocteau se consolida en la naturaleza artística y reflexiva de la pieza Les Chevaliers de la Table ronde (1937). Finalmente, propongo que la pieza exhibe una reflexión artística y ontológica que descubre su complejidad a través de distintas estrategias reflexivas (niveles de ficción dentro de la obra, la autoconciencia y el juego de rol en el personaje, la autorreferencialidad y la teatralización), generando así múltiples perspectivas para mirar la realidad, tanto al interior del mundo representado como desde nuestra propia experiencia de lectores o espectadores.

Facing the world, children evolve escape strategies which permit them to isolate themselves in the bedroom and to recreate by the game a universe like the picture of their dreams. The strangeness of this scene involves us to the psycho-analysis in order tempt to read the unconscious "fantasmes" which feed our text. The dream narratives study will allow us to delect those which we will find again in the whole text. Through the shadow and light subtle game appears original scene "fantasmes" which joins the protagonists of the oedipian drama. Then we will see how Dargelos involves us to the homosexual "fantasmes", the admiration for the virility being one of the inversed gleans of the anguish brought by the absence of the father. Then we will see how Elisabeth can be seen as the "castratric" mother and how is organized the return to the mother "fantasmes" which impregnates all the novel. In the bedroom descriptions, in the children treasure study, it is all the difficult rapport with moterly body, "castration" anguish and the "corps morcelé" which will let themselves surround. This reading of the "fantasmes" be put under the game symbol. He represents the thread which we have tempted to unroll between the text and our reading

Full textOf the numerous studies devoted in recent years to the study of refutation, most have aimed to shed light on refutation in its logical-semantic structure. This thesis aims to show that refutation is a full-fledged art based, like the art of argumentation, on resistance to the words of other interlocutors in theatrical dialogue, in which the logical, dialogical, semantic, rhetorical and pragmatic dimensions combine. The analysis of theatre texts has allowed us to establish that refutation, in spite of the semantic evolution of the term, is associated with the violation of social doxa and its use via topoï, figures and proofs of derived discourse. It is also associated with negation and is supported by connectors that mark opposition among the points of view of the partners in dialogue. This study seeks to contribute to the current debate by proposing a research path that appears to have borne fruit

Full text"Le Rossignol chante mal" (The nightingale sings badly) is one of the aphorisms that Coucteau included in his pamphlet on music Le Coq et l'Arlequin. This aphorism epitomizes several aspects of Cocteau's poetics: in the first place, the will to be provocative, the desire to engender amazement at all costs, following the thread of the impetuous "étonne-moi" that Diaghilev hurled to the young Cocteau; in the second place, a taste for paradoxes not really dissimilar from the attempt to startle that was typical of the larger context of poetical movements at the beginning of the 20th century; and, at last, Cocteau's anti-romantic musical theories, prone to a kind of realism excluding all sort of lyrical idealizations. In this context, the present dissertation examines all of Cocteau's works - including some films - that the author wrote in close collaboration with composers, or that have been set to music at a later time by composers belonging to his circle. The merely literary works by Cocteau that one must know in order to understand the musical ones are also considered. Besides Cocteau, the present dissertation takes into consideration other authors and composers as well: Apollinaire, seen as Cocteau's forebear and the beginner of a new concept of classicism; Radiguet and Cendrars, who - for different reasons - were the closest poets to Jean Cocteau; Érik Satie and Pablo Picasso, the creators of Parade, a breaking-through masterpiece; Igor Stravinsky, both because of his Œdipus Rex and the influence exerted by his poetics, since the Sacre du Printemps, upon Cocteau; Francis Poulenc (Les Mamelles de Tirésias, La Voix Humaine, Le Gendarme Incompris); Darius Milhaud (Le Pauvre Matelot, Le Bœuf sur le toit); Arthur Honegger (Antigone); Georges Auric (the composer of the soundtracks of almost all of Cocteau's films)

Full textOur ambition was to examinate the particularities connected with the womanlike character in Jean Cocteau's theatre and to submit it to space and time, so our point of view will only concern a part of its potentialities. The first thing that is to be said was the relationship between the womanlike character and the scene in which it plays. This brings us to examinate the meaning of the scenery and the prop's symbolic womanlike closer. Moreover, this analysis highlights the importance of the hand-movement's character, as well as its animation, would have been incomplete without the use of dramatic language. The latter composes a very special space - we mean a space based on monologs and dialogs - in which the womanlike character shows a particular profoundness, which deserves to be discussed. Another point of view of this question was to consider the womanlike relationships with time. It appears that the womanlike character was deeply sensitive to dramatic forms, especially monodramas and three-acts plays. That is the reason why the rhythm of the action shows the way a womanlike character can come a long way. Thanks to these first observations about temporal aspects, it is now time to discuss of the womanlike wandering. Wandering in / out of time has actually been considering as one of the main womanlike themes, given that it claims that the character's beginning and destiny are responsible for what happens on stage. These chapters insist on themes relating to womanlike condition, as maternity, love and death. It tries to prove the character - nether when it does not move, nor when it talks - does not necessarily follow production's rules. Through the space and time's study in Jean Cocteau's theatre, we have been mainly in touch with the womanlike character's spirit, in order to understand the part its plays in his entire dramatic works

Full textThis thesis aims to study the return of the Greek tragedy into French theatre in the twentieth century, and to understand the significance applied to the Tragedy in the twentieth century focusing on some female figures. In this research, the following five French playwrights, authors of plays were chosen because they were inspired by characters of Greek Tragedy: Jean Giraudoux, Jean Anouilh, Jean Cocteau, Jean-Paul Sartre and André Gide.The return of Greek themes in French plays over the years shows us indeed just how valuable these finite sources of information and reference actually are and how much of an inspiration they have been. For this reason mainly, authors such as those mentioned above have not stopped bringing these old characters back to life in their plays. There is not any specific link with old civilization; it is but a look at the founding myths of the humanistic thinking. In terms of the methodology, work done in the 20th century with relation to classic Greek themes/ tragedy genre, has been selected specifically as a tool of studying more recent French theatre. The role played by these female characters in these plays has not been analyzed or looked at before in detail using this quantity of authors as a sample, making this thesis unique and an interesting contribution to the field.This study looks more deeply into the change or shift that took place when considering the role/character played by women in these plays, through the eyes of these male authors. After determining these distinctive female characters and their personalities and attitudes, the relationship between men and women can be analyzed and particular relationships, divided into 3 sections, namely will be analyzed and discussed: - Role and relationship of female characters from a political system perspectiveThis thesis will aim to conclude that the identity and status associated to female characters, for several centuries have been significantly less than the status of men, and more specifically in these olden Greek plays from the 20th century.The study predicts that in light of the recent changes and developments undergone by new French play writers, inspired by classic Greek genre has led to a paradigm shift and drastic improvement in the identity and status associated to the Female characters in these plays

Full textFairytales are not seen here as a fixed genre, a "simple" and "naïve" construct aimed at a child audience. Our body of reference works, originating in France and dating from the post-war years up to this day, includes traditional film adaptations (from Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast in 1946 to Catherine Breillat’s Bluebeard in 2009) as well as obscure representations reworked in films by Buñuel, Claude Chabrol, Louis Malle, Claude Miller, Claire Denis, Laurent Achard and Marina de Van. Using an approach neither anthropological, structural, narratological or psychoanalytic, but one that combines all of these, our thesis aims to shift epistemological and methodological lines, the traditional hermeneutic matrices proving inadequate to reflect the processes occurring as the film medium, using specific means and effects, rewrites classical fairytales. This inversion is translated by emotional upheaval and blurring, a desire for naturalistic orientations and changing of genre towards the thriller or even forms of horror. Not only do the deep affinities between older generation French filmmakers emerge, but one identifies the use of the body as a central motive, erotic in nature, where shaping the film image is redefined in certain sequences and frames. Using an exploratory approach favouring analytic processes, our thesis illustrates the sadean and bataillean filiation between childhood fairytales (Charles Perrault, The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen) and French arthouse cinema

Full textThe fascination exerted by the myth of Orpheus on artists, writers, musicians and poets seems perennial. As always, in the twentieth century authors come back to the characters of Orpheus and Eurydice. In 1914, a young Italian poet named Dino Campana composed Canti Orfici (Orphic Songs), a collection of unique poems. In 1926, a theater play, Orphée, is composed and produced by a remarkable French artist : Jean Cocteau, who associated himself with the contemporary interpretation of the inspired poet in this subject. He comes back to the myth again in one of his great films, Orphée, in 1950. A Belgian woman writer, Marguerite Yourcenar composed a novel, La Nouvelle Eurydice which is published in 1931 and in 1991. A Puerto Rican author of numerous critical works, Iris M. Zavala wrote a theoretical novel, El sueño del amor (The dream of love) in 1998. History and the mythological intertwine in this polyphonic novel. She resuscitates this myth in order to speak about her preoccupations in the Caribbean and about her own writing so as to unatach Eurydice from the narrative of the myth.The comparison of these carefully chosen and unusually paired together texts would be interesting and would complement past researches from which it will profit. This comparative study proposes then to valorize genre and gender by explaining and revealing the important differences and similarities between these various visions of the myth of Orpheus in order to unveil the richness of these texts that are inspired by Greek mythology which consequently proves the value of Orpheus and Eurydice who still resound in a variety of artistic genres to this day since they continue to communicate with us. The echo of the myth of Orpheus finally suggests that there is a conversation between the myth and the author who is inspired and exhales the creation of a text that tells the story, which is ancient and modern at the same time.Firstly, we shall treat the ancient versions of the myth so as to see the images of Orpheus that can be found in Greek legends and myths. The important elements of the narrations including Orpheus and/or Eurydice will be shown gradually in accordance with the different versions of the story of the bard from Thrace. This will allow us to look at the resuscitation of interest in the myth of Orpheus during the 20th century. The permanent and modified mythical elements will be studied attentively by these reinterprets with the goal of showing their role in the meaning of the myth. This leads to our looking for ways to explore how the sense or the meaning of the myth is modified in accordance with the textual genre and the gender of the authors of these variations. This study seeks to underline the value of genre/gender which consequently unveils the reasons for which certain reinterprets identify with Orpheus while other reinterprets appropriate Eurydice with the same goal of allowing the rebirth of these mythical characters so that they may enchant and inspire us with their eternal voice. We propose then to complete the study of the myth by closely following these variations through the objective of our hypothesis while striving to enrich as well as inspire the multitude of researches that continue to look behind even past the 20th century to see the myth of Orpheus the bard and Eurydice the nymph

Full textSitué aux frontières entre les études de réception et les travaux sur l’histoire des idées, notre mémoire propose qu’en temps de crise épistémologique, la critique acquiert une fonction heuristique qui permet de se réapproprier le réel ébranlé par les changements paradigmatiques et désormais inconcevable. Nous étudierons donc comment une œuvre emblématique de la modernité – Le Sacre du printemps de Stravinsky – participe à la transformation de l’acte critique en forçant l’élaboration d’outils discursifs et épistémologiques qui pourront rendre compte de la nouveauté que représente la musique de Stravinsky, de sorte qu’elle répondra aux nouveaux besoin de l’époque et sera intégrée à l’horizon d’attente. Grâce à de nouveaux moyens critiques par eux élaborés, mais aussi par une mise au point esthétique, Jacques Rivière, Jean Cocteau et Boris de Schlœzer parviendront à ce qu’on appellera la « normalisation » esthétique de Stravinsky, à travers laquelle ils parviendront à nouveau à lire leur époque.

Full textFrom 1883 to1939, after a period dominated by the lyrical Wagnerian drama, many French or French-speaking writers started collaborating with composers to give birth to opera compositions. This thesis is a study of the human relationships and the creative work which was established between men of letters and musicians. It analyses more particularly the libretti of five creators who distinguish themselves by their interest in the lyrical genre, but also by the diversity of their libretti and of their collaboration : Catulle Mendès, Emile Zola, Jean Cocteau, Paul Claudel and Armand Lunel. The first part deals with the genesis of the lyrical works, from the beginning of the four-handed cooperation to the creation of the works (if it takes form ). Each collaboration opens a window on the man and on the writer : it reveals his temperament, his aesthetic vision and his convictions. It also measures the aesthetic and human investment of these creators and it permits to trace their doubts, their hopes, their wounded pride , their vexations as well as their exaltation. The second part examines the libretto as poetical creation for the writers : we ponder over the opportunity given by opera writing which allows them to express a personal style while adjusting to a medium generally unfamiliar to them. The aim is then to question the aesthical contributions which writers were able to bring to the libretto in so far as the calling in of a « specialist » could appear, in the eyes of their collaboraters, as a guarantee of literary quality. Can this participation allow opera writing to enter the sphere of literature ?
