Full textThe thesis entitled "Corneille's Rome : myths and realities", is a study of the vision of roman grandeur in the roman tragedies of Corneille, as well as the other side of the coin. Rome symbolizes power and durability, it constitutes a code of behavior and is also a language, among other things. Chapter one, "Rome under the kings: (Horace, 1640)" enables us to define the prototype of the roman hero, thanks to confrontations showing already Corneille'e ambivalent attitude. Chapter two (Cinna, 1642, Pompee, 1642-3, et Sertorius, 1662), paints a picture of Rome at first torn between factions and then reunited. The romains are more human but they do accede to the sublime. Chapter three dealing with pagan Rome confronting militant christianity (Polyeucte, 1642-3, and Theodore, 1645) shows the romans on the whole in an unfavorable light. Chapter four, Corneille's byzantium (Heraclius, 1647 and Pulcherie, 1672), presents some vestiges of roman glory, despite strangeness. When Rome has to face asiatic and african nationalists (Nicomede, 1651, and Sophonisbe, 1663), the roman virtues lose more of their lustre. Problems of succession and of dynastic marriages (Othon, 1664 and Tite et Berenice, 1970). Chapter six represents one more threshold in the decline of the romans. Finally the eclipse is worsened by the exposure of weaknesses of non heroes (Attila, 1668) et Surena, 1674). Thus enthusiasm for Rome continues to decline throughout Corneille’s career, partially in reaction to the contemporary political scene. Sometimes the non-romans are as prestigious as the romans. But roman Corneille is superior to non-roman Corneille. Finally, Corneille adds to the myths already

Is there a tangible interactivity between the euphony and the rhythmic on the one hand, and the euphony and the metric on the other hand ?

Full textWhen studying Corneille, a rupture can be observed in the first period of his theatrical career (1629-1652); a rupture firstly between the baroque and the classical, then between the comedies and the tragedies. In order to study these aesthetic and generic changes in Corneille's theatre, two relevant 'markers' will be explored: the lexical pair of madness and insanity and the corresponding conceptual areas. Indeed, madness has strong affinities with comedy and the baroque whilst insanity is strongly associated with tragedy and classicism. The lexicaological study, both onomasiologic and semasiologic, of madness and insanity will be carried out firstly on a linguistic basis and secondly on a contextual one through a body of four key texts from Corneille's work: Mélite, Clitandre, Le Cid and Horace. A synchronous approach will be used to look at each play separately and a diachronous approach to study them holistically. The research will be lexical and will be seen to contribute to the following: — the use of a lexical analysis for the construction of a linguistic semantic system applicable in context to the literary analysis of texts, — the systematic analysis of dictionary definitions for the construction of a linguistic semantic system, — the linguistic construction of an unvarying lexico-semantic field operating over several periods, — the in-context comparison of lexico-semantic fields relating to several plays by the same author

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 textWheter one is dealing with mythological, historical or religious characters. At corneille and racine's theater mothers are always women inserted in a dual relationships system that objects them to their husbands and children. As they have been reduced to a private life and rejected by public domain, which is exclusive for men, every speech as far as they are concerned, either as a text or in image, links them, since very early, to two main tasks : wife and family mother. Thus, according to ancientry tradition where it is based on, both racine and corneille's tragedy inserts always its maternal characters in two universal maternal archetypes : the good mother - painful mother - and the bad mother, awful mother - monstrous mother. Racine and corneille place their maternal characters in a main subject field at great century eyes : the subject of nature. Therefore, maternal presence allows the creation of an edifying tragedy which rewards good actions and concerns bad ones
Laurin, Cécilia. "Admirables criminels : éthique et poétique du spectaculaire dans le théâtre de Pierre Corneille." Thesis, Paris 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA030066.
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 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 textThe work firstly defines cornelian heroism as a combination of the dramatic and oratorical violence of the forcene and of the constancy of the amoureux. It proposes a study of the personas of the tyrant, of the inconstant hero (Enee, Jason, Dom Juan, Hylas. . ), putting forward the originality of Corneille regarding the dramatic tradition of the 17th century, then gives a typology of the cornelian lover (seducteur) according to his status (mere hero, king, crown prince) and the efficiency of his seduction. It then studies the dynamics of the marital plot, both in comedy and tragedy, and gives particular attention to the originality of the thwarted-marriage denouements, from a generic and genetic point-of-view. The cornelian realism is approached from the angle of the re- working of the comic happy marriage, the tragi-comic dynamism and the motif of euphuistic sublimation. This realism appears as belonging to a fundamentally political drama, the lover proposing an original compromise between desire and duty, which is only relevant in the context of the dynamics of a social career or of the service to the state. The comedies of the years 1633 to 1636 in particular are studied from this angle. The second part of the work studies the confrontation of the hero and the king (le Cid, Horace, Cinna, Surena) and the play on identity, withheld political status, promotion or regression (Heraclius, don Sanche, Pertharite, Sophonisbe. . . ). It concentrates on the shift of dramatic focalisation from the hero to the king, after Cinna and Rodogune. Lastly, it problematizes the relationship between the cornelian tragedy and history, with a study of the death-denouements (à tombeau) as in Horace, or those based on an announced punishment as in Surena, with a comparison to the plays of Hardy and Thomas Corneille

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.

The first part summarizes the experimentations during the first half of the 20th century. The second part considers how, since the 1960s, the directors have changed the hermeneutic traditions of the classical plays and renewed them, transforming the stage into a commentary of the text and of the society. The third part analyses the way they have played, in particular since two decades, with the conventions of performance, how they have deconstructed the fiction and rediscovered or reinvented the language of the 17th century

Full textLe métromètre a été utilisé pour analyser les 80 000 vers de Corneille et Racine. Il en résulte que la structure rythmique du vers est bel et bien le résultat d'un agencement spécifique des éléments de la langue (il n'y a pas « d'accent de vers »). Nous montrons que tous les marquages, qui relèvent de composantes a priori indépendantes de la langue, contribuent chacun à leur manière à définir la forme rythmique de chaque hémistiche et du vers. Les corrélations entre ces niveaux a priori indépendants semblent être constitutives du rythme.
Parallèlement, l'examen systématique de la rime chez Corneille et Racine a permis de montrer l'existence de régularités, non attestées dans les traités de métrique (la voyelle [e] a, par exemple, toujours besoin d'une consonne d'appui) et de proposer une définition contextuelle des concepts de rime riche, suffisante ou pauvre, lesquels varient selon le type de terminaison examiné.
Enfin, nous avons tenté de montrer en quoi la structure rythmique et rimique des vers pouvait contribuer à enrichir l'analyse stylistique : nous avons ainsi mis à jour des corrélations entre des univers de discours et des rythmes spécifiques.

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
Aronica, Claire. "L'illusion heroïque : Rodrigue et la représentation du héros tragique dans le premier XVIIe siècle." Thesis, Lyon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSE3030/document.
Full textThe basis of this work lies primarily in the discovery of a huge nature difference between the hero in “Le Cid”, and the far less glorious contemporary drama protagonists. On the other hand, it is based upon the intuition that most literary analysis almost exclusively use Rodrigue as the character of the first decades of the17th century.The first step of our work was therefore to try to confirm these impressions by conveying the very special status of this character. We have studied the treatment of “Le Cid” and its hero throughout the centuries with this goal in mind, assessing that the way audiences, readers and critics reacted to the play steadily built our perception of Rodrigue. We have tried to understand how the play and its hero were welcomed from January 1637 to the outcome of the 21st century. We have thus established the longevity of the text as well as the outstanding praise reactions it met with. This enabled us to substantiate the mythification of the play and bring into light its universal scope.From these first conclusions, we then tried to find out the reasons why the success of the play has never been denied. Here again it is the study of the critic treatment that quickly showed us that the unanimous public feeling was essentially due to Rodrigue as a character. For it is he mainly who seems to captivate the audience and the readers’interest. In the second part, we therefore tried to understand why Rodrigue is so mesmerising. With this purpose in mind, we confronted our character to the very hero notion. The stiking coincidence that public reactions convey between this archetypal character and “Le Cid” protagonist brought us to a first conclusion: the play is enthusiastically welcomed in the 17th century because the main character updates the human ideal as it was viewed at the time. Yet, the passion that the play generated in later periods is based on the same principle: it is because Rodrigue embodies the 17th century hero that the public from the age of enlightenment, from the great romantic era, from the French 3rd Republic or the interwar period do feel fond of him. “Le Cid” protagonist appears both as a revered and missed hero because he belongs to days gone by, a past example of the ideal man. In Corneille’s entire works, he is also regarded as a heroic paradygm and is viewed as the Cornelian male reference from which other male characters are derived in the works of the playwright. He is the very source of “the Cornelian hero” myth.However, Rodrigue’s unanimous critic treatment brings forward another issue: does “Le Cid” really stand apart in the early 17th century drama? At the outset of our third part, a brief survey of the period drama reveals the gap between Rodrigue’s image as it was made by the critic treatment and the dramatic reality of the 1630-1650 era. Corneille’s tragicomedy is not the only successful play and its hero is not the only stage embodiment of the male figure as it was then represented. Several other playwrights were successful too. Yet, the critic treatment does not take them into account. It seems as if Corneille is the only author to be remembered in the history of literature. Thus, “Le Cid” is the play reference. But it alters our vision of the 17th century drama and mentalities.In fact, scores of critic theories were based on the idea of a glorious early 17th century (impersonated by Rodrigue) as opposed to a gloomier and declining period at the end of the century. But can one guarantee their truthfulness if they are only based on the character of Rodrigue to assert the grandeur of the early 17th century decades?To conclude, a precise and detailed reading of the period literature allows one to study many misinterpretations, particularly because of “Le Cid” unmatched success, and to consider the early 17th century with a brand new perspective

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 textSince its origin, Tragedy has been one of the literary genres which have most clearly influenced the ideas of time that a civilization could have. Firstly, from a formai point of view, due to the Tact that the length of the story, which is being represented, must fit the time requirements of the duration of the play – i. E. The main issue of theoretical debates of XVI and XVII centuries regarding the dramatization of time in order to make the play vraisemblable. After the discovery of Aristotle's Poetics and the Italian commentaries on this text, the theoretical discussion has become extremely relevant, and the suggested solutions have played a major role in the creation of the masterpieces of the Elizabethan theatre, the Baroque Spanish theatre and the Classical French theatre. Certainly, the respect or not of the "Unit of time" nuances the conception of time that the play will spread. Consequently, studying the reasons and the methodology of the dramatization of time is essential for the interpretation of any play (part I of the Thesis). Moreover, the analysis of plays from a temporal perspective (part II and III of the Thesis) allows to reveal the ideas of man and the ethical foundations of his actions inside the studied mentalities. Therefore, this study proposes a redefinition of the role of these plays in the context of the Christian civilization in which they were originated, by means of analysing the world views and conceptions of the History which these plays convey

Full textFrom the late 17th century, Corneille, Racine and Molière are given an undeniable superiority over all other contemporary playwrights. This hierarchy, from which current literary history has inherited, continues to make us consider the pre-eminence granted to this “classical” trio as obvious and the studies devoted to the so-called “minor” authors rarely question the “major” author status. Our goal has been to study the elaboration process of the great playwright status. Thus, this PhD thesis highlights the different aspects and manifestations of this construction, retracing its stages during the authors’ lifetime — from the 1640s to the 1680s — while identifiying the factors allowing to understand why these three playwrights were given such a status, at the detriment of their colleagues and competitors. Moreover, this work studies our authors’ immediate posterity — from the 1670s to the 1720s — in order to show how the hierarchy and classification at work in the “majoration” and “minoration” process lay the foundation of French theater history. To understand how the great playwrights’ pantheon was built, we analyze the writing mechanisms of “classical” theater history and bring out the process of mythification that leads to the birth of the “sacred triad” Corneille-Racine-Molière. We then explain how the French theater history is written in praise of these authors, from and around their three figures, classicized and converted into symbols of “the age of Louis XIV”
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

Full textBesides Racine (1639-1699) and Molière (1622-1673), Pierre Corneille (1606-1684) is one of the three greatest authors of classical French theatre. His first tragedy Médée was rejected by critics and the audience. Corneille had not developed his typical style yet: The drama oscillates between comedy and tragedy; on the one hand, it is rich in action like baroque plays and on the other hand, it sticks to the formal unities established by the doctrine classique.
