Lemoine, Xavier. "Naissance et développement du théâtre queer aux États-Unis." Paris 10, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA100112.
Full textAlthough the notion of Queer Theater only began to develop in the early 1990s its stretch back to the beginning of the 20th century. Indeed, the portrayal of homosexuality on the stage has been shaped by moral and legal censorship revealing the tensions articulating theater as a whole. Queer theory, based on theoretical intertextuality, enables us to examine the way in which sex, gender, race and class are formed and how they are interrelated. Within this framework, queer criticism interrogates the politics of representation and attempts to grasp the forces that determine the boundaries separating the visible from the invisible. A general survey of drama reveals the variations that define both a history of Queer Theater and its construction as a category. "Homosexual theater," firstly characterized by the trope of the closet, was subsequently developed by a gay and lesbian theater informed by the trope of the coming out. Although this distinction is in itself an epistemological effect, it provides basic markers and explains the emergence of Queer Theater. Rejecting moot issues spawned by identity politics, Queer Theater sets out to utilize strategies against normative impulses perpetuated by a monolithic conception of the subject. Thus, Queer Theater offers a crosspollination that runs counter to the predominance of binary oppositions on stage. It then delves into the reception and production modes and attempts to open up the closure of interpretations and meanings of the text in order to go beyond heteronormativity. The AIDS crisis accelerated this process by questioning the status of the body furthered as well by the practice of camp, pornography and S/M. These aspects of queer performance, made more complex due to their performative effects, illustrate the queer momentum. Queer Theater therefore is a determining force on the stage, both pointing to its limitations and signaling new paths to keep it alive and on the cutting edge
Yechouti, Yahya. "L'oeuvre littéraire d'Alice Walker." Paris 4, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA040131.
Full textThis dissertaion studies the literary production of alice walker until 1990. It includes thus her four novels, her four books of poetry, her two collections of short stories, and finally her two collections of essays. Known particularly by her third novel, the color purple which brought her worldwide fame, alice walker is caracterized by her feminist committment. She has however changed the term feminist to "womanist" to distingwish her afro-american movement from that of the white feminists. She is also known by her challenge and rebellion against the social taboos and conventions, and against the canons of the different literary genres. The dissertation tries furthermore to analyse the biographical reasons of this rebellion and adoption of the womanist movement, the manifestations of her ideology in her work, the often successful balance between this ideology and her art , and finally the development of her vision through time and through her works from a radical womanist to a humanist
Diouf, Abdourahmane. "Esthétique, politique et éthique : la création littéraire dans l’œuvre romanesque de John Steinbeck." Thesis, Le Mans, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LEMA3008.
Full textJohn Steinbeck’s works cannot be reduced to a strict aesthetic or ideological categorization. They are often studied at the crossroads of colourful styles that intermingle and clash, in order to grasp the substratum of the work behind its varieties. The challenge of this thesis is to study the link between aesthetics, politics and ethics, starting not from the writer's political positions but from the works themselves, in order to analyze the ways in which these notions can be dynamically and progressively highlighted as the work unfolds over four decades. Moving from the lyrical and picaresque novel to the social novel (particularly Tortilla Flat and the Dust Bowl Novels trilogy: In Dubious Battle, Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath), John Steinbeck makes it possible for a political critique to be constructed in his work based on a questioning of the linearity of narrative discourse. Like the form of the discourse, the narrative “content” conveys and develops a political vision that substitutes for the American Dream and its utopian “Melting Pot” a more realistic sociopolitical structure in which one perceives “two opposing classes”, by virtue of the system of capitalist domination. Steinbeck reworked the novel genre to develop a providential, humanist and anti-capitalist vision. By testing the notions of plot, protagonist (or “hero”) and temporality, he placed this political critique at the very heart of the writing process, inviting readers to take a fresh look at his more “political” works of the 1930s and 1950s, and at the links between modernism, political engagement and ecology. Although some of his works are radically contested, he has made constant use of the myth of origins. This recourse to the mythical thoughts of the founding American texts acts as a hyphen allowing him to deconstruct literarily the dominant political discourses of his society
Espejo, Roberto. "Paul Goodman et la critique en éducation : vers une pédagogie critique existentielle." Paris 8, 2011. http://octaviana.fr/document/163812330#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0.
Full textIn this thesis we explore the contribution of Paul Goodman’s (1911-1972) pedagogical ideas to a critical theory of education. We consider our problem demonstrating that: a) the problem of alienation is central in Goodman’s discourse, b) the relevance of Goodman’s gestalt theory for understanding his analysis of education and c) that an existential component must be taken into account in order to describe his pedagogical approach. Goodman’s role in the development of gestalt therapy, expressed mainly through his “theory of the Self”, is considered as a basis for his anthropological approach. This approach is important in order to consider Goodman’s relationship to progressive education and other critical models, such as libertarian pedagogy. Goodman provides a strong criticism of the educational system of the United States in the sixties at all levels: primary, secondary and higher education. This criticism should be understood according to his gestalt-philosophy and his libertarian ideas. We show how critical ideas in education were already present in the American movement of progressive education (John Dewey) and in his offshoot, the social reconstruction movement (George Counts). This movement is an important element for understanding Goodman’s ideas, as well as for the development of the American movement of critical pedagogy. This trend is considered by us as an important contribution to educational theory. We explore Goodman’s heritage and his and the possibility of broadening the idea of critical pedagogy, through considering its “existential” aspect
Bertrand, Anne. "Walker Evans, écrits et propos. Edition critique." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCC122.
Full textThis thesis aims to provide a critical study of the texts Walker Evans (1903-1975) signed and published during his lifetime. One of the most important photographers of the United States, from his exhibition "American Photographs," at the Museum of Modern Art(MoMA) of New York, and the eponymous book, in 1938, Evans first wanted to become a writer. With the exception of one decade, from the early 1930s to the early 1940s, when hefocused solely on photography and produced the core of his work, never in his life did Evansstop writing. However, he did not theorize about photography but sparingly, and quite late in life. An essay is considering the relation of the photographer to writing ; a selective anthology gathersmost of his texts, each with an introduction which presents and analyses its contents, in the light of sources from the Walker Evans Archive at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; an iconographical volume reproduces Evans's publications combining his texts and images. Evanswrote as a critic for Time Magazine (1943-1945) beside his friend Agee, then contributed to Fortune(1945-1965). He there invented the form of portfolios combining a short text he would write and images, either by him or by others, often times on vernacular subjects. Furthermore, he would sign critical essays in various periodicals, particularly on photography. From the end of the 1960s, while he was teaching at Yale University, he would publish a few theoretical writings which are decisive for the history of the medium, notably the interview with Leslie Katz which was published at the occasion of Evans's second retrospective at MoMA, in 1971. Here Evans coined the phrase "documentary style", which qualified his own photography, and would apply to manyworks by contemporary artists. At get being his main reference for photography, the other references he mentions are principally literary: Flaubert and Baudelaire, or James, Proust, Nabokov. They indicate how concerned the photographer was, always, with writing, and style
Destoppeleire, Sandra. "Représentations de la judéité dans l'oeuvre romanesque et picturale de Chaim Potok." Paris 7, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA070046.
Full textJudaism is the essence of Chaim Potok's work. Potokian fiction, a profound immersion in the world of orthodox American Jewry, claims to mirror this reality. Potok's realistic perspective, aided by his descriptive technique, provides an accurate testimony of this world. The first part of this thesis concentrates on the geographical and sociological contexts of the wolrd depicted by Potok, while the second part focuses on a portayal of the Jewish-American community as it grapples with History. Potokian fiction cannot be understood as merely a portrait of reality, its didactic and ideological functions prevent such simplification. Indeed, the content of Potok's writing reveals the author's Hebraic ethical heritage : thus, this third part of this study focuses on the ethical and mystical aspects of his fiction. The problem of evil is woven into all of Potok's work, with Cabbalistic thought a particularly pregnant influence in this respect. As the Shoah is at the heart of his reflection on the notion of evil, Potok offers a true philosophical examination of the inexpressible
Pittalis, Patrick. "La poétique de Robinson Jeffers sur "La route inhumaine"." Paris 4, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA040048.
Full textThis study aims at a critical approach to Robinson Jeffers's works and unfolds from the notion of inhumanism the poet coined. Following a logical progression in three sequences, it aims at revealing how Jeffers' poetic thought developed and examines its critical and programmatic structure. The first sequence, dealing with the conflicting views of the poet on modernity, science, religion and humanism, exposes Jeffers social and cultural critical analysis which led him to the idea of inhumanism and which reveal the basis of his poetics. The second examines his poetic program based on the concept of solitude and on a revaluation of the role of man in nature. The study of notions and concepts as solitude, world, earth, nature reveals the poet's biocentric vision and his aesthetics of nature, both establishing a connection between poetry and phenomenology. The study ends with an examination of Jeffers rhetorical devices and use of myth, narrative, and didacticism in order to support and nourish his idea of inhumanism; it also leads to a reconsideration of Jeffers' poetics in the vaster framework of modernism and the response to romanticism. To conclude, the emphasis is laid on Jeffers' importance as a turning point towards postmodernism. His poetry, written during the emerging and blooming years of modernist poetry opens the way to a postmodern narrative poetry and ecologically responsible poetry. Though it cannot be considered as a major poetic work, it must be seen as a precursor
Planchard, de Cussac Etienne de. "L'Oeuvre romanesque de George Washington Cable (1844-1925) : essai d'interprétation et d'évaluation." Lyon 2, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987LYO20034.
Full textLouisiana-born novelist George Washington Cable (1844-1925) is still listed today in literary histories as a local colorist who wrote about the creoles of Louisiana. The purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to demonstrate that the novelist, a southerner who adopted the democratic values of the union and thus became a heretic in his section, is essentially a political writer, and that the unity, strength and originality of his work derive from his political purpose. This interpretation leaves aside all the fiction he published John March, Southerner, which is his last foray against the south. Because Cable depended on writing to earn his living, his work was deeply influenced by the socio-economic conditions of his time, and especially by the demands of the national monthly reviews and their readers. He gained nation-wide fame through local color fiction, but was able to enlarge the narrow scope of that genre by combining it with the american romance and to infuse the picturesque creole life with the truth of the human heart to confer a universal import to his best novel, The Grandissimes. Then Cable abandoned the "romance" for realism which, to him, seemed a better approach to a picture of society intended to persuade the south to adopt a more democratic attitude. Indeed, by confronting that section with a true image of herself, he hoped to defeat her propensity for creating a mythical image of her experience all the more easily as this image usually went unchallenged by southern public opinion. John March, Southerner, is a good example of this strategy. Eventually Cable bowed to the hostility of his editors and the indifference of his readers, and abandoned his criticism of the south in favor of less scathing fiction. Thus, what he wrote after John March, Southerner, is of little interest. Yet, Cable blazed the trail for the 20th century southern novelists. His main qualities as a writer lie in his exceptional ability to unravel the skein of social intricacies and his unfailing command of the english language, but his work is often marred by sentimentality. Three of his books deserve to be remembered : Old creole days, The Grandissimes and John March, Southerner
Urs, Luminita. "La ville nord-américaine dans la poésie québécoise des années 1980-2000." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040222.
Full textAmerica stands as a privileged reference in Quebec's poetry today. Dislodging the poetry of the earth and nationalistic-sounding rhetoric, a new American poetry arises with the eighties. It valorises the themes of the city, a cosmopolitan and playful space as well as that of the transcontinental journey. A place of diversity, but also, of violence and solitude, it is the expression of multiculturalism and of the melting-pot. It is mainly defined by its belonging to the North-American continent. The Quebec poet crosses metropolises like Montreal, New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco, in order to account for the changes in the reference of Americanism and in 20th century modernity. Other cities, from Europe or other places, enhance this poetic imaginary. Although written in French, the Quebec poetry of the eighties assimilates the experience of the Beat Generation (Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs) and of the American underground. The importance granted to Americanism is motivated by US cultural references to cinema, to literature, to jazz and rock'n'roll. Quebec poetry of the eighties nevertheless retrieves intimacy, by " small islands " in " liveable " places, with Louise Dupré, Hélène Dorion, Jacques Brault et François Charron
Price-Chupin, Helen. "Tensions dans l'œuvre d'Anne Tyler : une écriture de l'entre-deux." Paris 4, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA040159.
Full textThis thesis proposes a stylistic approach to the fiction of Anne Tyler, examining how it reveals or conceals a certain number of tensions running through her work. In the first part, we study the strategies put in place regarding certain generic conventions, those of the Southern novel and those of the traditional realist novel. The second part is dedicated to a study of the structure and the function of space. This part also proposes a psychoanalytic approach to the use of space in Tyler's work. The third part addresses the question of the intertextual presence of the work of Emerson and Thoreau as well as that of the Quaker religion, treating the subject through the detailed study of selected passages and with particular attention paid to the treatment of silence and the banal. Between transparency and opacity, closed space and open space, narcissism and objectal relations, concealment and revelation, Tyler's work can be defined as presenting an intermediary style of writing
