Chikawa, Tetsuo. "L'art de raisonner, l'art de débattre : la dimension argumentative dans les tragédies et la théorie de Pierre Corneille." Paris 4, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040152.
Full textAs one of the greatest playwrights of 17th century France, Pierre Corneille is distinguished for the argumentative activities like reasoning and debate. In his theatre we find the confrontation of the characters that reason and discuss to persuade the ones the others. Thus the action is evolved without disturbing in coherence. Corneille is capable of integrating the argumentative activities in the structure of his theatre. Moreover, he is a dramatic theorist. His theoretical text consists of a succession of reasoning to justify his theatre based on the authority of the public against the critics. Corneille doesn’t hesitate, if necessary, to refute his former theoretical assertion in order to reinforce the coherence of his theory. Therefore, his dramaturgy will become clear only when we take into the consideration the argumentative dimension of his theatre and his theory. It is the chief purpose of our thesis

Full textThe present study questions the use and operation of criminality in Pierre Corneille’s plays, in a double aspect : through the elaboration of the ethos of great criminal characters and through the effects of their spectacularization upon the stage – the latter depending on the former – based on an analysis of the aesthetics of admiration [wonder] that the playwright produces. It tends to show how operates and is operated the « wonderization » of such characters, which allows an exceptionally reflexive dialectical tension between essences and appearances and a reflection of the power of spectacularity, especially through feminine characters, which are here considered as mirroring images of the power of theatrical art itself. It interrogates more generally the question of agency, and its functioning interactions between activity and passivity, between action and passion. Eventually, the amazing criminals, not unlike any cornelian subject, appears to be freely defined by their greatest passion of all : self-passion, which can serve as an alternative name for their « gloire ». Their spectacularization thus revolves around a dramatization of the self, unveiling and offering it to the eyes of the rest of the world, in an attempt to make the projective ethos coincide with the effective ethos. Such dynamics are often characterized by fatal leanings, death being the ultimate expression of their gloire upon the stage

Full textThe purpose of this study was to compare three authors writing in different idioms, all three belonging to the XVIIth century: Shakespeare, Calderon and Corneille. We tried to show that their theatrical works offer the features of a baroque aesthetics, refusing consequently the image of a classical Corneille. We choosed one of the aspects which represents the best the baroque in the theater: madness. The theme of madness leaded us to examine, in a linguistical, stylistical and literary point of view, some characteristics common or divergent between this English, Spanish and French theater. First, we began to point out in these three authors that some characters were having an unbounded desire of power and domination, representing on stage what we called "a Prometheus challenge". From this point, we established that the linguistical and stylistical expression of madness was not necessarily appearing with an hyperbolical language but, paradoxically, with a rational language. We studied then the madness of love, and more particularly jealousy, which symbolizes a DionysiaC baroque, producing, in the tragedy or the comedy, the violence of passion. Finally, we saw that madness could present clinical and pathological signs and symbolize therefore a spiritual, somatical and macrocosmical disorder, described with precision by the three authors. In conclusion, this work shows that the topic of madness perfectly reflects a theatrical baroque with different faces in the works of Shakespeare, Calderon and Corneille
Dupas, Matthieu. "Corneille galant. Comédie cornélienne et histoire de la sexualité." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015USPCA005.
Full textAs opposed to an irenic conception of gallantry that also relies on an essentialist definition of gender, this study addresses gallantry in terms of the history of sexuality, so as to emphasize the deployment of a gallant micropolitics the early 17th century France. It focuses on the success of Pierre Corneille’s comedies in the context of the blooming of a new amorous culture, soon to be called gallantry. The first part problematizes the discourse of gallantry produced by the sphere of the belle-Letters, which can always turn to mere courtesy, but nevertheless becomes pervasive to regulate men/women interactions in the Ancien Régime France. The Cornelian comedy functions as a gallant technology that produces and diffuses the discourse of gallantry, which organizes amorous relationships so as to legitimize love marriage. The second part addresses the conflict around which turns the whole plot of Corneille’s gallant comedies in terms of social constructionism, so as to account for the erotic subjectivities construed by gallantry. As an “heterotopic” apparatus, gallantry implies processes of subjectivation such that heterosexual love now prevails over homosocial friendship, thereby naturalizing the link between sex and emotional investment – a complex soon to be called “sexuality”. Thus, gallantry is part of the genealogy of the heterosexual matrix. The third part focuses on Pierre Corneille’s poetics of tragedy, and shows that the genre of the 17th century French tragedy replied to the tendency for the discourse of gallantry to function as a form of politeness rather than an authentic form of love by inventing an amorous discourse more suitable to modern individualism, and which no longer depicts love as a “passion of the soul” but simply as, in French, la passion

Full textIn plays, feminine virtue appears in the words and actions of the heroine : they give a definition of her tragic "ethos" more than they illustrate the traditional moral categories. Therefore, this virtue represents a dramatic and aesthetic object shaped by, and for, the tragic "mimesis". This female character, from the humanist tragedy by Jodelle to the palys bu Corneille during the insurrection of the Fronde, probably reveals an ideology belonging to each literary period. But virtue, redefined by the thoereticians, allows the dramatic creation of the character, especially when the theatrical pleasure and dramatic constraints are more important than the wish for moral instruction and the illustration of a coherent moral speech established by tradition. Being a dramatic object, virtue must be shown ; this challenge, consisting in showing moral perfection which is by definition less scenic than passions, implies an aesthetic coding for the representation. This feminine virtue would then become the idealized, mimetic -according to the definition given by Aristotles- representation of of the ethics of a society. The notion of virtue appears trough the female character in its diferent traditional aspects which are often opposed and mixed : Christian and stoïcal, heroic and moral, male and female, active and passive. As with the passions, this notion of virtue would have been turned into play material by tragic playwrights, sometimes to the detriment of the philosophical and moral virtues. Virtue itself would then become a passion like any other in stage in order to create tragic pleasure

Full textIn the france of the 17th and the 18th century some prominent writers like corneille, bossuet, montesquieu and rousseau, simple essayists like saint-evremond, and revolutionaries like marat and robespierre did not adhere to the admiration of ancient rome that had become traditional in europe since the renaissance. The author makes this point by a detailed study of the works of these writers who, in spite of texts written with certain precautions of style, denounce the excessive cult of rome of modern europeans, its aspiration to universal domination, its institutions and the corruption which takes over after several centuries of existence. These studies are accompanied by analyses which link these critical opinions of rome to the political views which are implicit or explicit in each work.

Hatakeyama, Kana. "La faute dans la tragédie française du XVIIe siècle." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BOR30007.
Full textThe purpose of this doctoral thesis is to study the French tragedy in the seventeenth century researching into the notion of tragic flaw, hamartia, and to show the originality and the diversity of the French classical tragedy. This notion, commented by Aristotle in "Poetics" originally differs from either an intentional crime or an accidental one. The tragic flaw presupposes the participation of an agent without denying the presence of fortuity. Although a tragic hero is responsible for his misfortune, as it proceeded from his fault, the result exceeds his intention. And this disparity between intention and misfortune makes the audience feel compassion for the hero suffering from his misfortune. If this compassion is one of the emotions caused only by tragedies, the tragic flaw constitutes in this respect an essential element of tragedy. But is the concept of fault identical in the Christendom society of the seventeenth century? To answer this question, I deal with the tragedies of seven dramaturges, Alexandre Hardy, Pierre Du Ryer, Jean Rotrou, Tristan L’Hermite, Pierre Corneille, Jean Racine and Jean-Galbert de Campistron, to cover the seventeenth century. In the first section of this work, I examine the notion of fault in the theoretical texts. The second section consists in studying the tragic figure. The third section is about the nature of the fault, the private fault and the politic fault. The fourth section concerns the status of fault on the dramaturgical level, before examining moral questions in the final section. This work reveals the importance of Aristotle’s Poetics in the French tragedy of the seventeenth century
