Full textNo reader of Smollett’s narratives can fail to notice that bodies matter. The project aims at showing, in the light of Bakhtin's concept of dialogism, that Smollett's fiction wavers between two opposite directions. On the one hand, what stands out is an ideologically conservative medical type of discourse on the body which hinges on the notions of order and balance. On the other hand, an aesthetics of transgression is at work; it is based on disorder and excess and its functioning is enlightened by another Bakhtinian concept, the grotesque, as well as by Stallybrass and White’s redefinition of the grotesque. The body as sex is also brought into focus from a psychoanalytical perspective which helps unveil an oxymoronic process involving disgust and desire, fear and fascination. What is at stake throughout the study is the contention that such dialogic tension enlightens not only the representation of the body but also the textual functioning of Smollett's fiction

Full textThe author consults the works of the spanish writer mateo aleman (1547-1614?) from the angle of the representations of the human body, in order to determinate both its historical and literary functions. In the first part, he studies the lexicon of the body in guzman de alfarache (1599-1604), giving clear indications of its main points : the hand, the eye and the alimentary system. In the second part, the author considers how aleman staged the body in his works : he verifies the important censure of ostentation as a servant to moral, economical and social usurpation, and the presence of the foundations of a modern literary realism. In the third part, he approaches the questions of erotism, human bestiality and violence : the author establishes that mateo aleman (as well as cervantes, but prior to him) is a great inventor of the modern novel, unfairly forgotten in the history of literature
Ishibashi, Masataka. "La représentation du corps dans les textes narratifs de la première moitié du XVIe siècle." Thesis, Paris 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA030039/document.
Full textUnder the reigns of François I and Henri II, at the threshold of the modern era, both society and government were undergoing fundamental changes : the fall of the feudal nobility and the ascent of the middle-class were changing the dynamics of the society. As a result, man’s identity, which until then had been based upon the feudal system, necessitated a new social interpretation. The quest for a new form of identity took place throughout the century, eventually resulting in the concept of the modern individual by the end of the century, which Montaigne’s idea of the self represents. This societal evolution inspired the prolific writing of stories in the first half of the sixteenth century. Based on the tradition of the French storyteller and under the influence of Spanish and Italian stories, the stories show in the representation of the body the germ of the modern individual, though in most of the cases the characters are still based upon certain human types codified by medieval literature.The first part discusses the human game of observing the body and the individualization of the body, mainly in The Angoysses douleureuse and The Heptaméron. At the same time, it uses the image of the perceived body as a reference point for addressing gender narratives which still remain problematic. The second part, entitled the perceived body studies the evolution of society and the morality of the body through the described physical images in the stories. The military revolution is treated with Rabelais’ works. The third part, derived from the second part, focuses on gesture. The dialogs involving gesture in Pantagruel are analyzed, aiming at the deciphering of each gesture and finally interpreting the dialogs’ meaning. Through an inventory of the gestures of the period, a hypothesis for a parody and a critique is suggested for the monastic reformation which precedes the Reformation as a background of the episode
Prot, Bénédicte. "La représentation de la nudité dans la littérature du XVIIIe siècle." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LORR0095.
Full textThis doctoral thesis is an interdisciplinary study on the question of the representation of nudity in French literature, medicine and artistic discourse in the second half of the eighteenth century. Considering that the naked body is inseparable from the sense of sight, we reveal the idea that the elaboration of a gaze determine a plurality of representations of the undressed body. By the study of texts of different types, this thesis presents a process demonstrating the link between the looking and the nudities in the Enlightenment. From technical words revealing the anatomical detail to descriptions in veiled terms, the writing and the reading of the undressed body are such as a textual and visual interaction (Chapter I). The second chapter is devoted to the effects attributed to the nude in the eighteenth century and presents, through the study of anatomical plates, how the gaze on the bare body can be constructed. The following chapters examine successively the nudities according to different ways of seeing. Voyeurism (Chapter III) and observation (Chapter IV) promote the representation of anatomical detail, the creation of topical figures and the staging of the naked body. The following chapters show that the body can also be mentally undressed. Clothes and draperies, proportions and colors guide a trajectory allowing to see, to touch, to feel and to imagine the nudity (Chapter V). From “costume” to skin, from muscles to bones, the body appears as a set of superimposed layers offering the possibility of a penetrating eye. Clothes and integument once removed, nakedness becomes the image of a physical and moral interiority explored by doctors and writers (Chapter VI). The seventh and final chapter shows that nudity is a way of thinking through decentered or focused gazes. The naked body reflects to the dressed man of the Enlightenment his own image. The fashions, the exhibition of "savages" and the auscultation are also situations in which the physician's figure is drawn in relation to the naked female body.The representations of the undressed body in the eighteenth century are created between sight and touch, between the whole body and its parts, between the clothed and the naked, between the surface and the depth. They proceed from the fragmentation, the magnification, the stripping and the reification of the body and its parts. They involve textual processes, generic and disciplinary contaminations, creations of figures such as bathers, athletes, men of letters, Venus of all kinds, allegories and anatomies. Based on the construction of the gaze and the interactions between arts, literature and medicine, this thesis invites us to discover the nudities of the Enlightenment

Full textThe purpose of our work is to report on one of the specificities of Marguerite Duras’s writing style, which consists in including emotion in her texts as a key device. We will show to what extent the emotional phenomenon can be enunciated on several levels in the writer’s literary work. Emotion is first of all suggested as the starting point of the construction of the characters whose behavior and most intimate self are thus defined. Then, emotion creeps into the dialogs which play an important part in Duras’s narrations, and becomes their mainspring. Emotion also stands out as the basic principle of the highly personal communication that Duras has always known how to maintain with her readers. This is how a permanent trait of Duras’s writing appears, conveyed by the bodies and voices of the writer and her characters. Given her eclecticism, which gave rise to a highly heterogeneous production, we decided to focus on the novels which offer a global vision of the emotional phenomenon on its three levels of expression: its representation, the way the narration operates as a scriptural device and the relationship with the reader. We also decided to take into consideration the works which punctuated the writer’s long career without identifying periods since the phenomenon of “emotion” was a de facto part of Marguerite Duras’s writings ever since her early days

Full textThis thesis of comparative literature aims to relate pieces inhabited by history and to question literary representations of the body in the face of the extreme hardship of confinement. The aim of this research, which unfolds in three parts, is to question human nature through the prism of writing when confronted with the traumatic experience of concentration camps and Nazi exterminations in the Second World War, by paralleling pieces, factual and fictional, which draw their ressources from both reality and fiction like interconnecting vessels. More specifically, as part of the first section we concentrate on the way the limit-experience of being manifests itself in these accounts. The confusion of identity and the dehumanization disrupt the representation of the body, thus impeaching it.This doubt fits into the language itself : how does one tell the unimaginable ? In the second section we focus on the inexpressible aspect of the event and reflect on the diversions, the displacements that literature can offer to say what, at first, seems indescribable. Imagery and symbolism create new forms of literature.This analysis allows us to develop the theme that we call organic writing, which is composed of and articulates itself through corporeity. Language and body superpose themselves in an architectural dynamic. Writing leaves a trace. Writing gives rise to new forms. Literature would therefore be the fertile soil of revival, the writing of a new human being, forever metamorphosed by the concentration camp experience

Full textThis doctoral thesis deals with the representations of the body in German and Austrian expressionist poetry before 1914. It is based upon the works of the poets Jakob Van Hoddis, August Stramm and Georg Trakl. It shows that their poems represent answers to the same fundamental problem at the beginning of the 20th century – they question the language and its ability to represent reality. The theme of the body allows to make a transversal study which locates this works in a single framework – the beginning of literary modernity. Indeed, it reflects the main ruptures of the beginning of the 20th century, be it on the level of real everyday experience or on the level of aestheticism and of the history of ideas (vitalism, psychoanalysis). Man redefine the subject, its relation to the world, its approach to meaning and the work of art. The quantity and variety of the images of the body in the expressionist works testify to the upheaval of the relationship between subjectivity, environment and writing

Full textIn the 1930s, Ella Maillart and Annemarie Schwarzenbach left Switzerland for Afghanistan. Two decades later, Lorenzo Pestelli and Nicolas Bouvier set out on the routes to the East. Daughters and sons of prominent industrialists, academics or diplomats, these four writer-travellers made a point of straying away from the bourgeois conception of travel by presenting their departure as a way of defining the self away from social, family, national and Western inheritance. The East appears to them as the location of many possibilities. Yet, in spite of their desire for a clean slate, they soon realise that, no matter what they do, their body carries the stigma of the West. They will thus try to modify it. If the aim of their travelling is not to make the body disappear completely, it is only by putting it at risk and by offering it to the world, for better and often for worse, that the travellers believe they can taste the delights from the outside. But how to put in words this carnal, physical, sensual and even erotic pleasure ? And what language can be chosen to account for one’s presence in the world? Working jointly on four writers, from different eras, genres and styles, helps us to observe the evolution of the representations of the body in travel literature in the 20th century and at the same time it questions our reading habits. What representations of the body do we expect in travel literature ? Is travel literature really the privileged location to put the body back to work ?
Robin, Diane. "Paradoxes de la mimésis : Conceptions et représentations du laid dans les textes et les images français et italiens au seuil de la modernité." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040218.
Full textThrough cross-analysis of French and Italian philosophical, rhetorical, poetic, and artistic treatises from the Renaissance to the first half of the seventeenth century, this study seeks to understand what the early modern period conceived of the ugly. In terms of physical deformity, the ugly is considered as a transgression of the norms of the body: it questions the concept of mimesis as an idealised imitation and allows a reconsideration of the nature of representation. Furthermore, the ugly is seen as the sign of vice: this study looks to reconstruct the physiognomical paradigm which underlies this traditional interpretation of the body and to question its limits through examining Socrates’ paradoxical ugliness. Moral interpretations of deformity bring different semiotic functions of representation into play. In the topic inherited from scholasticism, mimesis of the ugly aims to stigmatise moral defects, as they are represented in allegories about vice and satire. Paradoxical deformity, for its part, gives rise to hermeneutics of text and image. Finally, the ugly is concerned with its effect on its recipient. If the ugly is traditionally understood as a repellent object, its representation aims to arouse the inverse effect, according to the poetics and treatises on art inspired by Aristotle. Analysis of this paradoxical pleasure highlights the aesthetic and cognitive qualities of mimesis. At the brink of modernity, the question of the ugly is at the crossroads of moral issues that stem from the Antiquity, and of aesthetic reflections which develop more fully from the eighteenth century to the present day, notably in theories on fiction

Full textThe body is tested by the act of painting which covers the skin and thus tries, through meditation to concentrate the creative energy on my own body. A dark shape, asign of opening, appears on the body. It seems that the absence, the gap are inscribed on the skin by that representation. The skin must be understood as a frame which protects the body and which throught its opening enables to have a glimpse of the interiority of that one. The dreamlike work must be led from any frame serving the elaboration of plastic practise. So, the fabric hung in the workshop outlines the organisation of the practise which itself takes form on the surface of the body : the skin, to be eventually printed on the photographic film in charge of memorizing the act of painting. The suffering, suggested by representation, as well as that desire fo r flaying the skin allows to think this opening as a wound. The empty-full, inside-outside dialectics elaborate the shap e in what is defined as the representation of the body on the body. The sign of the double appears in the representation and the other body becomes the support of painting. From the activity of the body, what is only kept is the remembrane of the short-lived act of painting, the action led within the workshop is inscribed on the photographic palimpsest and the picture becomes the new frame invested by plastic practise. So, the body through its state of life institutes the very constitution of its hide. The signs of the frame, of the surface offered to the exterior stare arise from its action. This offering is but the vain attempt of gathering the different states of the body between life and death. Therefore, the wound could very well be this symbolic extension which signs the presence of the body in the representation

Full textThis doctoral dissertation, untitled Undefmed Bodies : The Representation of Bodies in Art after Auschwitz, aims to demonstrate that this event deeply ruptured the forms of representation of the human body in the plastic arts ; especially in painting. Such a rupture engages the so-called traditional modes of representation (for which we argue that they belong to an aesthetics of discernment), as well as those inherited from the artistic modernity, by making this bodies undefined, i. E. Undiscernible. In a perspective both historical and theoretical, this dissertation proposes a deep examination of several artworks, from before and after Auschwitz, trying to question for the latter the multiple forms of the temporality determined by the term "after", following then a dialectic close to the notion of translation : transmission as well as treason of the event. Therefore, the main purpose of the dissertation is to reconsider an artworks' corpus (already existing since it derives from contemporary art) and to define analysis devices able to define the conceptual and hermeneutic outlines of such a corpus. Both examination and analysis aim at rethinking the modes of representation of the human body as well as a kind of habitus which has been developed around them in the aftermath of Auschwitz

In the same way the body bas an essential effect on the work of art, the organic system, - since it sums up the body operations (and) draws its appropriate perspective as to shaping and coming out, is the answer to the question "how to do" plastic production ? Therefore, the head considered as a mere component of the system, sign of bis constant fragmentarity, will be, defined as a super-organ, or a meta-organ.

Full textScientific medicine sees only mechanical bodies, it doesn't see the inner desires. Bodies live everyday trhough a number of obscure phenomenon : emotions, tiredness, pain. Literature, as born from the desires of the writing subject, on the entwined borders of world and language, gives us a subtle approach on life's experiments, through the analogical link reading is. Let us read jean reverzy's fatigue, marguerite duras' douleur, j. M. G. Le clezio's feverish emotions, or thomas mann. Literature's alchemy tells us about the pains of mind; what does it say about physical illnesses (cancer, aids)? with herve guibert and other writers, technical medicine comes into literature. Along with aids, irrationality, causality, fear of strangers are back, as in the time of plague and lepers. But what of the physician's pain, his disgust over the scarred body ? what can be his reaction to disgust ? to the other person's death, a forecast of his own ? the works of several doctor-writers explore the mysteries of patient-doctor relationship and restore that part of the physician's self which had been held back, day after day, by his medical practice. Doctor-writers stand on a tight line between caring for the others and caring for one self; bertween curing the ill and secretly fighting for his own salvation

Full textThe object of this thesis is to interrogate different representations and interpretations of the body and the rapport between sexes, in contrast with the cartesian metaphisics of the body, in four major french novels of the eignteenth century, la vie de marianne by marivaux; la religieuse, by diderot; les liaisons dangereuses, by laclos; la nouvelle heloise, by rousseau. Far from realizing a liberation of the body, the body enters within the system of representation of the eighteenth century novels only at the cost of new forms of exclusions. That is the body functions within these novels either as a metaphor for the writing itself or as the sacrificial element from which the writing emerges

The starting point is a research on the recent motivation of the cremation choice, which has given the evidence of the re-proposal of the 19th century cremation, being a secular and modern rite. This work wants to explore the two main images of the body, which are playing a basic role in the western funeral rite, concise named: the mirror body and the prison body

Full textThe novels of gabrielle roy emphasize the omnipresence of the body. The subject of the body is of major importance to these novels because of themes that surround it : porosity, maternity, sexuality, disease and so on. Nevertheless this omnipresence is paradoxically conveyed in a writing style that seemingly drains the body of all physical reality : the body is sometimes kept secret or indeed erased. Major male characters, like alexandre chenevert or pierre cadorai, recognize their body only by their own dependence to it : hungry, desire. . . Or by the body's illness : disease, pain. . . They all the more refuse it. And for the female characters like rose-anna and florentine lacasse, eugenie and irene chenevert, the body is only a one more source of humiliation and pain that stigmatize their woman destiny. So gabrielle roy's characters are submitted to their body and its contingencies. They deeply feel animosity and reject for this enemy. Our research would like to illustrate the unyielding presence of the body and a double will : negation by the characters and ellipsis from the style writing. For the body reveals an ambiguity from the style writing, oscillating between presence end absence. The presence of the body is all the better depicted because the author has to avoid its exaltation. The writing of the body by gabrielle roy tends to a characteristic : to supplant it by representing an ill body with redundant and incurable illnesses or with such a pejorative representation that it incites the reject of the body. Royen writing would like to bring to a successful conclusion : the death of the written body. Thus reasons of frustration become de facto non-existents and only persists what is valorized : the power of the mind against the weakness of the body. From the redundance of the body to its ellipsis, the writing would be devoted to the inexpressible, to the sensible world and above all to the creative imagination

Full textOur work attempts to study the image of the body in French romantic fiction from 1820 to 1840. Essential part of the romantic imagery, the body signifies the tension between reality and fantasy. A victim of historical violence, the body also shows a powerful ability to resist and be energetic, becoming an efficient tool for desire. But it soon has to face another limit : its own materiality. Illness, impotence and difformity witness the capacity of the body to be an obstacle to the aspirations towards the infinite. Why not go beyond this limit by recreating the body out of the flux of time ? The ethereal body, the Oriental body and the body shown as an artefact all testify of this thirst for an ideal flesh, built against an aggressive history. Ultimately emerges a textual body, which comes as a remedy to the dangers of representation

Full text1989 mark a watershed in the history of Chinese art. Since "Les Magiciens de la Terre" first exposure of Fei Dawei which presented for the first time at the Western public of Chinese contemporary works and especially since the events of the Place Tien An Men, the Chinese contemporary art took a dominating place on the international scene to become omnipresent. Today, no biennial or international artistic event is conceived without works, installations or performances of Chinese artists. XXIe century is obviousness: the Chinese contemporary art makes sell. But not any subject. Between the "chinoiseries" appraisals by the Westerners and works which do nothing but take again the traditional tradition without renewal of the techniques and the topics, are interesting on the topic of the man, innovating, significant creations, often provocative but always in close relation with the Chinese company in full change. The Chinese contemporary art has this of private individual who it is closely related to the individual and collective memory of people which underwent an important change since the death of Mao Tse Toung. The Chinese artists exiled in France have this of private individual whom they deliver an astonishing vision of the man and his place in the contemporary company. It is not a question only of the Chinese man but of the very short man. Creating a true esthetics of displacement, they question the statute of the artist through often violent and dark disconcerting works. In a company in full transformation, between passed and present, memory and lapse of memory, the question of the identity is a true way of cross for these artists in search of Ego and Other. Because what to be Chinese today? Or is it I? To go to is the meeting of the Other to go to the meeting of oneself? Is the exile the means of being or contrary to losing itself? Who am I? These existential questions become extensive in glance of the exile, "displacement"

Situated at the crossroads of Post-Modernism, st-Colonialism, and Feminism, these works of fiction share two main themes: fragmentation as well as domination and the exploration of the feminine body. The main question that guides this work is: how do these authors conceptualize the bodies of women in their seductive, desirable, or frightening dimensions? Firstly, this study undertakes a particular interest in the genesis of the works, in their intertexutal and intratextual processes, also questioning artistic genres and sexual genders. The study of cosmographies of the feminine body enables us, then, to analyze the various aspects of their mise en scène which locates them between natural and cultural conceptions. This research equally examines the topographies of feminine resistance, the mobile identities that escape control, as well as the ephemeral territories that endlessly draw and redraw themselves. Because, when confronting the (bio) power, the body also positions itself as a “site of resistance” (Elizabeth Grosz) and as the subject of a “biorevendication” (Christine Détrez and Anne Simon). The analyses of ekphrasis, parody, and geography in these fictional works allow for the valorization of concepts essential to this study, such as mimesis (Aristotle), heterotopia (Michel Foucault), médiance (Augustin Berque), corpographèse/bodygraphesis (Marie-Anne Paveau and Pierre Zoberman), and territorialization/deterritorialization (Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari)

Full textAt the end of the "classical age", gothic fiction, with its emphatic representation of places dark and clear, extolled values felt as essentially british : feeling, devotion, family. Thereby, it set for its readers a clear "conceptual picture" ("tabula") in which good vanquished evil. But the representation of the "mysteries of the body" (eros, thanatos) worked towards the break-up of the epistemic "tabula". At the time when, in dark gothic places, bodies "brutish" were threatening bodies devoid of "animality", love and death, in the living world, were becoming very violent "natural forces" inspiring terror. Death indeed was no longer always explained in the christian perpective. And with the increasing "process of civilization" and the accompanying refusal of the body, all human "animality" was becoming permanently focused in eros. After the break-up of the classical "tabula" and the coming into force of the following "episteme", gothic characters tended to cease to be "concepts in action" (good victorious over evil) : between matter and figure, the body of these characters was seen as a stricter equivalent of the body as experienced in life, that is to say, as a body acted upon by the "mysterious forces" of sex and death. In the corpus studied (texts by walpole, reeve, lee, radcliffe, lewis, maturin, reveroni saint-cyr), representation of the far-beyond conceals a keen questioning upon death, and "flesh" becomes "sex". In presenting, removing, or distancing the body individual or collective, thus qualifying it for fascination, these novels contributed to the production (and staging) of the "wildness" of the body. Thereby, they played their own part in the literary demise of the classical "episteme"

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

Full textWidely debated among multiple philosophical and scientific fields, the body is in the centre of a issue related to the individual. Philosophy, history, sociology, psychoanalysis, etc. , find in the body an anchorage explaining man's evolution in his ontogenic dimension. So, when french west indian literature by means of novels, presents characters whose behaviours can be appreciated from those varied fields of knowledge, we have to understand the impact of the body effects as a presence to the world assigning to it a status, a nature and a function, allows us to account for this relationship between the body and the world. The three literary trends, namely + negritude ;, + antillanity ; and + creolity ;, help us think of the evolution of the black body backed up by novels written in the period going from 1845 to nowadays. Because, first of all, placed at the center of a system of symbolic relations, the body answers, by means of the corporal expression, with languages expressing forms and meanings. Then, by the powers it exercises particularly in the + political ; and + cultural ; field - through the dance and the game - the body reveals its capacity to integrate or reject imposed patterns. Finally, those powers which are recognized are exercised in the evocation of the pleasures of the body. This body of sensations, of erotic and neurotic pulsions asserts its existence to the world. Those pleasures result in a corporal aesthetics which makes up for the defects of a confused affectivity. The variety of views about the concept of body shows the polysemic characters of its status and those of the corporal expression very well. A variation in the variety of bodies offered by french west indian literature restores to the black body, therefore to the subject understood in its phenomenological dimension its disappointments, insufficiencies, anguishes and contradictions. Deeply rooted in a space whose history reveals the singular character, the romantic body alluded to by the writers related to th trilogy mentionned above, means its unflagging quest of identity, but also testifies to the numerous obstacles forbidding it to assume its own condition

Full textMary Shelley’s work as a novelist is best known for her first novel, Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus (1818). This novel shows strong, graphic scenes which have had a deep impact on modern society’s imagination. One of the most striking scenes in Frankenstein is the moment when Victor gives a kiss to his cousin, who is also his fiancée, while having a nightmare, because this kiss kills Elizabeth and turns her into the corpse of Victor’s dead mother. It seems that the erotic kiss as a literary motif played a decisive role in the making of Mary Shelley as a novelist because it appears in the first drafts of Frankenstein, whose content, as we know, was heavily modified until the novel was published. The project underlying this study consists in displacing this aesthetic hypothesis and applying it to the other six novels which Mary Shelley wrote and which have been almost completely eclipsed by Frankenstein: the kiss as a literary motif will then be considered as a metaphor for the making of the woman writer. If the literary kiss can be considered as a motif belonging to the philosophical categories of aesthetics and eroticism, what can the kiss as it appears in the work of a female writer indicate about this writer’s relation to the conceptual categories of her time? As Mary Shelley’s novels suggest that aesthetics and eroticism as they are conceived by modern society are no longer productive, and as they reinvest the meaning of the literary kiss with an ethic of caring for the body of the other, bringing these novels together will help rediscover a writer’s vision of literature, her vision of Man, and most of all our own vision of what literature is about

Full textThe reason why so many books were written on Jean-Jacques Rousseau is that this author has many facets : he commenced by writing poetry, comedies and tales. His tone can be that of intimate confidences or that of satirical tracts. Rousseau is both a political writer and a novelist, sometimes in a single book. But he was criticized by the encyclopaedists who presented him as a false man : he wrote les confessions and les dialogues in order to exculpalte himself in the eyes of posterity. Indeed psychoanalysts consider his case as an example of persecution mania. His political thinking is paradoxical : in discours sur l'inegalite or in le contrat social, he was revolutionary before the term existed, but in la nouvelle heloise, clarens utopia is rather conservative and paternalistic. Is there an unity lying hidden in this variety ? An answer to this question is given in the present work : the reason why Rousseau's works are diverse is that rousseau himself was a diverse, split person, and this splitting results from a lack of unity in the representation of his own body. According to the present analysis, Rousseau has indeed not a single body, but rather four bodies : a female body (while he is a male person), a childish body (that he wants to keep for life), a body plagued by illness but also persecuted by mankind as a whole, and finally a natural body, whose inclinations are only half expressed by Rousseau : these inclinations would lead to an indecisive homosexuality. We call this homosexuality indecisive because it is not borne out by a pract

Full textThe specificity of the colossal and polymorphic work of Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-75), Italian poet, film-maker, critic, novelist, scenario writer, essay writer, playwright who committed himself all along his life by “throwing his own body into the fight”, lies in the fact that any thought about the body, any representation of the body, challenges each time the artistic form, the linguistic choices, while demolishing, recomposing, contaminating this large body under construction, permeable, significant, opened onto the world, that his work represents. In the whole of Pasolini’s artistic production, that we analyzed thanks to a pluridisciplinary approach and divided into five great periods corresponding to turning points, at the same time, historical, personal and artistic, the body is the place of the individual’s identity crisis, of the conflict between desire and culture, passion and ideology, but also the place of the carnal, sexual, “religious” meeting with others and the world (the bodily experience being for Pasolini the only way of reaching knowledge) and finally the absolute referent for any political or philosophical discourse – the transformations, the violations it may undergo being the metaphor or the prophecy of what the whole society may experience

Full text1945 is an important date in the history of the human body. Inventing the concentration camps and the nuclear arm humanity went indeed into a new era. Now people destruct one another using science and on industrial scale. This date marks also another breaking point in history where the representation of the human body starts to be industrialized in the mass media. Once glorious subject of art, in the second half of XXth century, it becomes a simple mechanic image reproduced in some thousands of copies. The subject whose outside look as well as identity are constructed according to archetypes, becomes simple graphic object. The human body is reduced into a visual sign, an abstraction, illustrated by the Marilyns of Warhol, the pin-up of Mel Ramos, the mechanic drama of Lichtenstein, the domestic hedonism of Wesselmann, and the fetishist designs of Allen Jones
Kandeh, Kar Zahra. "A Lacanian study of the childhood representation in William Wordsworth's poems and William Adolphe Bouguereau's paintings." Thesis, Mulhouse, 2021. https://www.learning-center.uha.fr/.
Full textThis dissertation is an interdisciplinary Lacanian venture to address childhood representations in William Wordsworth’s The Prelude and some of William Adolphe Bouguereau’s paintings. Childhood is a romantically-charged image, often associated with the nostalgic glorification of childhood or with a fixation on children as the embodiments of quintessential beauty and savageness. Wordsworth and Bouguereau, however, as two canonical Romantics, prove these readings untenable, for childhood representations in their artworks is a space onto which they have projected their own innermost as adults, be it pleasant feelings, such as sense of unity, reassurance, and attachment, or unpleasant feelings, such as anxiety, sense of loss, and mourning. Childhood has variegated modalities in Romantic literature and painting, but similar approach to this image is one of the common denominators between these two artists, the study of which also unfolds a great deal about the historical epochs in which they were living, as well as their responses to their milieus as two very astute and talented observers. This study also disentangles the mass of varying child ideologies that dominates the 19th century as the “child century,” a century in which artists and activists wrote “for” and/or “about” children for pedagogical, entertaining, ideological, illuminating, historical reasons. While Wordsworth wrote “about” childhood as a metaphor to delve into the psychological intersections of childhood and adulthood, Bouguereau took the same position in the majority of his paintings, but he fell into the pitfall of confusing “for” and “about” children in few of his “miserabilist” paintings, which are today justly accused of romanticizing children’s misery. This strand of his paintings has definitely not been instanced in this study. Given our twenty-first century awareness of the unconscious and its connections to childhood memories, it is illuminating to map out nuanced childhood representations in Wordsworth’s The Prelude and Bouguereau’s paintings in the light of Lacan’s psychoanalysis. For one thing, Lacan, whose doctoral dissertation was Paranoid Psychosis and Its Relation to the Personality (1932), dedicated a great deal of his analyses to the psychic paradigms formed in childhood that define our personalities as adults. He turned Freud’s hectic theories of the unconscious into formalistic and structured data predicated on the subtleties of language. Text-oriented, Lacan’s model provides us with an approach which uses the rhetoric and semantic specificities of a text, painting or poetry, as a point of departure to bring in the fore the psychic operations at play, that which Peter Brooks calls the “play zones” of a text. Lacanian applied psychoanalysis can do away with the teleological explanations most psychoanalytical approaches seek to find, for it raises discussions rather than to close them. With these considerations, this study aims to unravel psychic operations encapsulated in childhood representations in Wordsworth’s The Prelude and Bouguereau’s paintings, which hinge on, among others, Lacanian “fragmented body” (corps morcelé), the images which have to do with disunity, disembodiment, emasculation, and so on, or gestalt matrix, which has to do with unity and wholeness. These two concepts are essential parts of a psychoanalytical “free association,” for while the former signals the realization of the illusory construct of a subject’s egos, the latter is an imaginary construct that has constitutive and formative effects on organism as well as humans’ psychological growth
Marquette, Caroline. "L' écriture du corps dans la fiction de Joyce Carol Oates : une dynamique des fluides." Bordeaux 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2011BOR30045.
Full textThis dissertation combines a stylistic and narratological approach with feminist theory to analyze the representation of the body in the main novels of Joyce Carol Oates. The body has a paradoxical status in so far as it represents both a straightjacket and a vehicle of emancipation for the individual. The biological body is first characterized as an uncanny double for the subject, who is constantly reminded of his forthcoming death by his own flesh. Such gothic esthetics relate to specifically feminine fears of being objectified and reduced to a strictly biological destiny in a society which tends to regulate the body into civilized docility – especially female bodies, always suspected of hysteria. But a study of the monstrous and unbridled body of the text and of Oates’s pulsating writing reveals the emergence of another figure of the body in her novels, a more elastic and malleable figure which is quite similar to Deleuze’s Body without Organs. The assaulted, torn and porous body may then be considered as a positive opportunity to recreate the self, as opposed to a negative sign of nihilism. This study suggests that the violence of Oates’s fictional universe can be rethought in the light of her will to convert the body that patriarchy had turned into a prison of flesh to a model of opening, connection and becoming. The free play of bodily fluids is central to this enterprise as it endows the body with the subversive power of the grotesque, which can overthrow social order according to Bakhtine, and the specifically feminine ability to leak and overflow boundaries

Full textIn reflecting on and reasoning about the decline of his country, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle appears as an heir to those writers and theoreticians who denounced its decadence, including Paul Bourget but principally Barrès and Nietzsche, the two masters with whom he identifies. "Je me suis trouvé comme tous les autres écrivains contemporains devant un fait écrasant : la décadence", writes the novelist, in the preface to Gilles. Thus he gladly cites Aragon, Céline, Malraux and Montherlant, who were all writers and intellectuals of the interwar years, and with whom Drieu shares some kind of prophetic fraternity. Drieu foresees the interaction of his literary creativity with ideology and politics through the lens of the convulsion of time, occasioned by the crises of antimodernism and antiparliamentarism. Consequently he faces what he considers to be a "crashing fact" in practising a "systematical observation". In his "satirical work", his insistent reference to decadence, which he detects in both the individual and collective body, is subjected to literary metamorphosis ; this imagery betrays his intimate obsession. In order to grasp what is at stake in such a mental representation, situated at the intersection of ideology and literature, it is necessary to understand first of all the foundations of the imagination of decadence, inherent in the troubled world of the interwar years. This is necessary in order to set apart the unity and the coherence of Drieu's work, focused on this decadence to be considered as an "fait d’imagination" (Pierre Citti) and made real through a central topic : the body

Full textWe analyse the expressions and the functions of woman's body according to the thematic criticism approach in the romantic works of the feminine authors of blacks french speaking africa. That body is the one of feminine characters described and which exist only in the prose of the less evoked african area's authoress. As part of the expressions, the woman's body appears as the old body and the young body. The old body is revealed as a symbol of morals, kindness. From erotical point of view, it appears however voiceless. The young body, analysed through the body parts which are the seat of erotism, is confirmed as an appeal to man. The expression of black feminine body apposes the erotism of white feminine body. However, single feminine characters who fashion their bodies by giving them a provocative language towards man, come into view. But the fashion which is confirmed of a value to the body and the woman, is that accomplished by water. As far as the body's functions are concerned, the miror and the room melt in the body. They are sources of the characters' confidence in their erotic avantages, sources of moralizers and sources of sexual perversion

Full textAs it is drawn back to original chaos, the faulknerian body is plagued by shapelessness and all attempt at outlining its figure seems to be doomed. Of course one may sometimes etch out a frame yet what is contained within remains intangible. Such a gostly body nevertheless amounts to a blank sheet, a surface which in turn serves as a screen on which imaginary projections can take shape. However, the faulknerian body remains elusive, difficult to circumscribe for it is without any topos of even made into a partial or total void. Then it is characterized only by bodily humours or digestive and sexual functions. But it is informed by a discourse which strives to make up for its blanck thanks to interchangeable or reversible losses. Yet the faulknerian body ever remains on the verge of sundering paradoxically enough, such sundering may prove constructive, just like metonymies, which appear, together with negations, comparisons and metaphors as so many possible oblique ways of apprehending the body. Characterized by intrusions and detour, the faulklnerian body is also a base for various impressions and a source of disturbing speech which carries it even as it pierces it through and through. Last of all, the faulknerian body is perpetually in motion, it is an open entity which has several types of logic and the components of which entertain instable relations
