Pardon, Simone. "L'écriture picturale de Dashiell Hammett." Orleans, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/2002ORLE1046.
Full textDashiell Hammett, who wrote 5 novels and numerous short stories, is best-known for the new and seminal form he gave to the American detective fiction: the "hard-boiled" style. Between 1923 and 1934, he used his personal professional experience as a detective for the Pinkerton agency and his knowledge of the contemporary mediasphere to give both literature and cinema stories which met with great success in the public. His literary ambition and the pictorial quality of his expression are not so well known, although it is possible to see in his participation of a comic strip, "Secret Agent X-9", a confirmation of his inclination towards such a style of expression. This thesis aims at showing the aesthetic means through which Hammett built his narration and portrayed the characters: a pictorial quality for a dynamic, poetic language, to show space and time and human condition, to draw out men in search of an identity in urban America in the 30's. There he sets the action of a particular man, the "Private Eye", who has become, thanks to him, the mythical hero of modern times fighting Evil in the name of Good, the latest version of the heroes ans demigods who enact again and again the private dramas and the conflicts of human societies the trace of which can be found in primitive art as well as in modern painting

Full textThe image of the hard-boiled detective is very different from the one of the classical detective story protagonist. Dashiell hammett founded the hard-boiled tradition, creating professional detectives as well as non-detective heroes. Raymond chandler followed him with his unique private-eye character. From that rises the archetype of the "tough guy", the modern knight and his (in) quest. Some biographical landmarks are given in relation with the characterization of the hero. There is also the context of narration ; the works of gerard genette are the main methodological reference for its analysis. Language is seen as the privileged weapon of the hero, then from the angle of humor and slang. The novels adaptations for the screen are briefly examined. The third part depicts the setting (urban and rural) and the human context (the different social classes and ethnies with whom the hero is confronted). Moreover, the private detective has to deal with three kinds of women and he experiences an ambiguous relationship with men. The symbolic aspect of violence is then studied. At last the question of ideology is posed in order to understand how the myth of the tough guy can be applied to the image of the detective created by hammett and chandler

Full textThe Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett, adapted successfully to the screen, revealed the typically American character of the private detective, with Sam Spade and Nick Charles.The last incarnation of Sam Spade by Humphrey Bogart in 1941 John Huston’s movie remains one of the most famous film noir figures. Nick Charles, with William Powell in Woody S. Van Dyke’s film in 1934, was so popular that both the character, escaping his creator, and the actor were reused in a succession of five films, until 1947.Why does the contemporary French public only know the first (character and actor) and why does it almost ignore the second ?Between them, what place does Dashiell Hammett hold, detective then writer, who became a character of detective writer in Hollywood Wim Wenders’s movie Hammett in 1982 ?The study of all Dashiell Hammett novels adaptations, from 1931 to 1942, enables to compare the various representations of his investigator characters. The study of the five movies reusing Nick Charles character allows to follow its lack of coherence.The observation of the change of the public taste, from the Great Depression until the post- Second World War years and the examination of the cinematographic careers of the two actors, explain the Bogart’s fame in France.Eventually, the French editorial revival of Dashiell Hammett at the beginning of the 21st century makes it possible to consider the author figure as a new myth

Full textTendo em vista a importante contribuição dos estudos culturais e literários para o aprofundamento do debate sobre as narrativas policiais norte-americanas, este estudo pretende levantar singularidades, rupturas e questões de masculinidade(s) associadas à literatura hardboiled, de modo a fundamentar uma investigação de sua reverberação na obra de Rubem Fonseca. Para tal fim, parte-se, principalmente, dos estudos de masculinidade hegemônica empreendidos por R.W. Connell e seus comentadores, e da análise de três dos maiores expoentes fundadores do gênero, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler e Jim Thompson. Considerando essa fundação da literatura policial norte-americana, serão então analisadas quatro obras protagonizadas pelo personagem Mandrake, ―O Caso F.A‖, ―Dia dos Namorados‖, ―Mandrake‖ e o romance A Grande Arte. Pretende-se, assim, observar como o autor se vale dessa tradição da literatura policial, e de suas implicações com questões de masculinidade(s), para criar uma obra de tamanha potência crítica, estilística e política.
Taking into consideration the important contribution of literary and cultural studies to the deepening of debate about North-American detective narratives, this study intends to assemble singularities, disconnections and contemporary masculinity issues associated with hard-boiled literature, aiming to substantiate an investigation of its influence in Rubem Fonseca‘s work. In order to do so, we take as a starting point the studies of hegemonic masculinities, by R.W. Connell and her commentators, and the analysis of three of the genre‘s founding fathers, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Jim Thompson. Considering the foundation of North-American detective novel, four works which has Mandrake as its main character will be analyzed : ―O Caso F.A‖, ―Dia dos Namorados‖, ―Mandrake‖ and the novel A Grande Arte. Seeking to observe how the author utilizes the hard-boiled tradition and its implications in masculinities issues in order to create a work of enormous critical, stylistic and political potency.

Full textThe myth of the private eye tends to distort our view of the character that was created by hammett and chandler, the founders of the "hard-boiled" detective story. The private eye has a double origin : he is both sherlock holmes and nick carter. His methods have nothing to do with the traditional detective's in so far as reason and logic are no longer his favourite weapons. He resorts to action and to the poker-player's intuition. The plot is no longer essential. No "solution" can be found in hammett's and chandler's novels. The portrait of the private eye brings into light both his "anti-hero" aspect, his cynical pose and the idealism that the pose is meant to hide. He resembles hemingway's tough guy whose misogyny he shares. His social role is unequivocally reactionary since he contributes to maintaining the social status quo by preserving the ruling classes' respectability. Hammett and chandler provide us with a "realistic" vision of american society. Consequently, they broach themes which used to be reserved for "serious" literature. The quality of their style set them apart from the writers of escape literature. Hammett created a style whose main feature was baldness. Influenced by behaviorism, hammett describes behaviours and resorts to an "external" technique. For a time, chandler was his "disciple" but gradually he abandoned hammett's technique which no longer suited him. For the character of the private eye has evolved from the continental op to philip marlowe. Such an evolution can be accounted for by chandler's background and personality but the evolution of economic and social conditions must also be taken into account. Hammett wrote most of his books during the prosperity whereas chandler wrote his after the great depression. The chivalrous and altruistic marlowe succeeded to the cynical continental op. A similar evolution is to be found in hemingway's tough guys
