Full textThe study of supernatural characters in a given set of Wolof fairy tales enable us to appreciate the richness and diversity of such supernatural representations like the Wild Beast Mother, the jinn and the ogress that appear in West African fairy tales. But some supernatural characters, example the Mother Bush and the Head that kills, are specific to the wolof background. However, beyond the identification, the proper use of such supernatural representations raises some questions related to two main problems. First their functioning inside a well-organized universe in which their apparent chaos is but faked. The second problem deals with their functions in the tales. By "function", we mean not only their roles in the fairy tales but also their "finality". This notion of finality requires a deeper analysis in order to lead to hypothesis bringing a particular conception of the supernatural universe in fairy tales. In fact, in such problematic wholly built on the fundamental notion of change, the theme of initiation place an essential role. The supernatural universe in fairy tales is a primordial factor in the elaboration of a Wolof model for the creation of a mental person that presents itself like a social being realized into the concepts of twinage and alter. This item or model is the mould in which the future initiated will find the guide lines allowing him to be in conformity with the Wolof ideal notion of the Human Being

Full textThis thesis aims at discovering the different narrative and structural functions and the semantic investment of metamorphosis in one hundred one European and African fairy tales. Through a semiotic analysis, our approach lies on the hypothesis according which the tale is resonating with different levels. In the same way as numerous tale motifs, the metamorphosis forms a metapsychological configuration linked to anthropological preoccupations. Moreover, it illustrates reminiscences of ethnological practices linked to passage rites, initiation rites, and funeral cults. It also recalls totemic beliefs. Besides these ethnological considerations, it lies on rhetorical and linguistic processes which contribute to enhance positively or negatively the metamorphosed subject according to other subjects. It permits to incarnate fear as well as fascination men or women or any changing person may suggest to others. This study is composed of three parts. In the first chapter, we define our approach of the fairy tales and our methodology. The second chapter consists in a presentation of the nine groups of tales in which the metamorphosis appears. We expound the thematic and narrative composition, the representational content, the mythological inspiration of the tales which are concerned so as to make appear the semantic and structural role metamorphosis acts at last, in the third chapter, we present the different types of metamorphosis, its different semantic and narrative functions as well as the reinvestment of ethnological material and the rhetorical processes linked to anthropological preoccupations

Full textThe supernatural creatures of the Norwegian folktales have always fascinated people, though we do not really know their own nature. We intend to study these characters by analyzing a major selection of Norwegian tales of magic. First we will try to collect information from these texts, and to propose a classification and a description of the supernatural creatures. In this way it will be possible to show the appearances and the differences; we will take them out of the context they usually belong to, and bring out the special features. These supernatural creatures come from folk believes, from mythology and old religions, and have been influenced by the transformation of the society, mostly through Christianity and the way the nation make use of the folklore. Second, we will then try to show these cultural and social evolution, which bring us from primeval time to present time. Through human imagination, nature, religion and folk believes, rituals and history, we can observe a fundamental relation to the other world, with the conception of dead spirits and with the notion of destiny. We find even the same symbolism on the textual level, through the supernatural creatures' roles. The troll was emphasized during the national romantic period, and really detached itself from the other ones. It became at the same time a national symbol, representative of social and moral values, and a real concept, that shows the importance of supernatural creatures in Norwegian folktales

Full textThe representation of childhood is a major theme in Litterature. The atypical images of the child found in the Greek-Roman civilization and in Religious texts appear in forms that are profane and entertaining through storytelling, a uiversal litterary genre which has nurtured hunanity's children from the mists of time. My research aims at analysing the didactic function along with the aesthetic aspect of this litterary genre. Then, using a comparative method, analyse the various representations of the child in French and African tales. Tales are inseparable from the cultural context in which they are told, thus conveying messages through symbolic codes underlying the imagination of a particular social group. This socio-anthropological approach to storytelling is carried out concurrently with a litterary approach based on stylistics and theories common to tales. My aim is to analyse the poetry in tales with a view to revealing the charm of these ageless narratives

Full textThis study about the images of stones appearing in numerous tales and legends from brittany (france) and calice (spain) proves to be an archetypological contribution. From that point of view, a hundred "texts" are analysed in which stones don't only embody the similarities and the close links between two peoples apparently distant as far as their histories and cultures are concerned. Through ages, stones also keep alive the memory of the balance between dream and reality, violence and order, which is essential for individual and social human life. Then images of stones appear as stables, "written" words, which dynamise the human being inciting him to try and get the harmony, the highest wisdom they materialise. Stones are images of the totality and of the beconing springing up again and again. Man takes part in it by an individual experience of intimate and deep thinking. Each contact of the man with the stones can be a renewing instant. During the everlasting quest to unify his being, first of all man must assume the several forms of otherness represented by the images of stones, and then overcome them. To wonder, to spot, to fight against challenges and learn how to accept the idea of inperfection and instalibity in the aim og conquering the perfect balance between his double reality : that is also the tendency of the post-modern man. Works of writers such as le clezio or c. Fuentes give us several examples which show the actuality of the stones images
Granger, Sabrina. "L'imaginaire du sacré dans les contes de Marcel Schwob." Grenoble 3, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006GRE39048.
Full textA severe cultural crisis shakes European spiritual foundations in the late nineteenth century. Essential symbolic structures seem to crumble and society undergoes a process of secularization. Yet during the same period, a deeply-felt religious sensitivity manifests itself in various ways ; not only the main themes of the Catholic revival, but also occultism, satanism and esoteric doctrines inspire many French authors. The very notion of the sacred is in crisis and this paradoxical situation results from a widespread intellectual and artistic longing for a new way of interpreting the world. Marcel Schwob (1867-1905) occupies a peculiar position in literary history, and his ambiguity, so often emphasized by critics, makes him an emblematic figure of this constrastridden epoch. Indeed Schwob as a storyteller likes to draw figures and motifs from a universal cultural repertoire. But he is also a scholar, a disciple of Saussure and Bréal, and is very interested in the works of significant folkorists. A constant dialogue between myth and modernity underlies his entire work. How does a notion like the sacred appear in this author's writings ? The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that these two mental processes, the mythic and the modern, which seem a priori to exclude one another, are reconciled by Schwob, in such a way as to create a very personal conception of the sacred. Based on a clearly interdisciplinary approach at the crossroads of literary theory, anthropology and ethnology, this dissertation analyzes Schwobian fictional space and time, then the author's own myth of language and finally his representation of the body

Full textThe present study entitled «man and society in the tales and Congolese literature written in French" is built on the basic of thematic work. This subject has been chosen to show the evolution of a society and the expression of its soul though literary work. We noticed two existing features of the Congolese soul; the instinct of domination of central government and the reference to revolt by the people to establish social development. Symbolical characters of youth and of the woman, the pair lion hare show pertinently the cultural basis of the Congolese soul

Full textChildren's literature, although considered for a long time as sub-literature, has, during recent decades, become emblematic of literature of quality. Picture books, which integrate both pictures and text to make sense, are one of its distinctive features. Within this production, we have chosen the theme of Love. This theme is seen as more innovative probably because it is linked to the evolutions of society. In this context, we have based our research on a selection of thirty or so contemporary picture books representative of all the productions from 1980 to 2009. In order to identify the main features of these productions, we have used a cross- analysis reviewing the various stages of love. All these analyses show, even demonstrate, the specificities and qualities reached in this literary genre, as well as the range of the themes approached. Indeed, we have observed that the combined talents of some authors and illustrators stand out in many ways on the levels of imagination as well as originality and humour, to such a degree that certain picture books can arouse the interest of grown-ups and children alike. This talent also shows in the way the themes are adapted, taking into account the constraints and regulations linked to the supposed age of the readers. Thus, it is interesting to note that almost all the themes of literature related to love are approached and that many sources of inspiration re-appear with them, whether it is tales, legends or ancient myths

Full textThe tales "Beauty and Beast" and "The snake-prince" broadly circulated both in Europe and Asia take up the topic of the "animal fiancé cycle" which constitutes the main subject of this research. On one hand, the object of our research aims to study the theme of the "animal fiancé" through variant forms in the cultures of countries as different as France and China and on the other hand, to analyses the underlying symbolic structure. The protagonists, all single, seek the congenial soul in their initiatory quest. However, the common dream of a "fine marriage" is not only influenced but also imposed by the social institutions and traditions of each culture. This fantasy emerges as a personal desire but also as a bounder duty set by a community. How can we account for the condition of the hero who strives to become fully human or the heroine's plight? She proves curious, courageous, sympathetic, but doomed to endure a sting of hardships and punishments before becoming a "true wife". The hero and heroine face separate duties, functions and obstacles to overcome in their progress to initiation. Each achieves self-fulfilment in matrimony which entails destiny as well as social status. This study tries to understand more clearly this beautiful narrative belonging to oral tradition record, show its multiple forms, its transmission in time and space, and bring out its symbolic and sociological content
