Courant, Stéphane. "Approche anthropologique des écritures contemporaines de voyage." Paris, EHESS, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010EHES0441.
Full textTravelling appears to generate some kind of writing practice but not all journeys produce creative genius or even a sufficient will to leave a written trace of the travel experience. One population in particular is surveyed : independent travellers or people known as backpackers or globetrotters. Our work aims at establishing an ethnography of travels writings, both those produced while travelling – notebooks, visitor’s books, blogs, body ornamentation – and those which result from travelling – Lonely Planet’s letters to the Editor. This thesis stands between two anthropological fields, tourism and writings and aims at revealing the different graphic motivations and functions of the travel writing, or how we move from casual, recreational writing to a self-orientated one revealing one’s own ideas about travelling as much as the need to find oneself and the Other. Each of these writings has its own characteristics and functions offering direct accounts from a population which is considered as elusive by anthropologists. The Lonely Planet travel guide correspondence will supplement the profile of these tracellers, their motives for writing and travelling, underlining the peculiar connection between these travel writers and the vade mecum. In this way, an ethnographic observation emerges about this specific link between reading, writing and travelling

Full textThe Theatre of Voices will study a corpus of six contemporary plays – those of Vinaver, Lemahieu, Kermann, Kane, Fosse and Schimmelpfennig. This thesis will allow us to draw up the outlines of a theatrical landscape where the framework of the drama is the poetic organization of different voices. The first part of the thesis will deal with dramatic forms that rely on rhythmical compositions, which takes into account an auditory reception. The second part will move the analysis to the point of view of characters. This part will examine how characters withdraw themselves in voices that makes them and untie them at the same time. Most of the studies gathered in this research will rely occasionally on plays by other playwrights such as Novarina or Crimp. In a way our goal will be to reveal a form of the theatre where the priority is given to the ringing vibration of bodies and where the readers and the audience are first moved by their own listening of the text
Gascuel, Adèle. "La dynamique du ravissement dans les écritures dramatiques contemporaines." Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSE2052.
Full textThrough the analysis of about fifteen contemporary plays (1991-2017), this thesis opens a reflexion on the dynamic of rapture in dramatic plays and how it reflects a catastrophic reality. Rather than developing dramatic situations by critical and distancing means, they procede in a movement that suspends the meaning of the gestures of the characters, and rapts the possibility of their comprehension to better enchant reality. Escape is depicted in a negative way to let merge hope from despair. This paradoxal movement transforms defeat into a breach through which the tyranny of reality is troubled, and is raised from a situation of sideration to one of fascination, thus pointing towards utopia. The notion of rapture is based in particular on the works of Maurice Blanchot, Georges Didi-Huberman and Roland Barthes. It can be seen as an escape from an elusive reality that transforms ignorance into the site of a reinvention of reality by poetic means. In the works of Marguerite Duras and Didier-Georges Gabily, the ravishing figure suspends hermeneutics and dramatic resolution. This study is extended to plays by Ivana Sajko, Dorothée Zumstein, Claudine Galea and Marie Ndiaye where fascination implies a situation of crisis for the fascinated subject. The second part is an exploration of how negativity can lead to escaping from reality. Sarah Kane plays are a support to consider the tension towards an utopic centre, and the study is developed to contemporary french plays by Samuel Gallet, Magali Mougel, Lancelot Hamelin, Mariette Navarro and Philippe Malone
Biehler, Johanna. "La Maladie mentale dans les écritures dramatiques contemporaines d’expression française." Thesis, Pau, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PAUU1010/document.
Full textThe thesis is about mental disorders in French contemporary drama as well as their representations on stage. Theatre has always been concerned by mental diseases and for some researchers origins of the dramatic art have to be found in rituals and dreams. After a recall of the most famous “fools” presents in the history of European drama (Greek tragedies, Shakespeare’s plays or classic French drama) – we will see that “madness” is a long-lasting theme. We will focus on contemporary period: in fact, this thesis studies plays which were written since the beginning of the eighties. We could see that, despite the democratization of psychoanalyse, psychiatry and psychology, they all remain mysterious and fascinating. Playwrights like to use ambiguities about mental disorders and original behaviour

Full textContemporary playwriting turns often towards the tragic Greek myth as source of inspiration.However, the concept of “the tragic” is far from being evident, sometimes understood in anexistential meaning, tightly attached to the German philosophical thought who has given it birth,sometimes in an esthetic meaning, as a result of its close relation to the genre of tragedy. Thepresent study examines the concept of tragic in contemporary plays of different origin: moreprecisely, we study twelve plays, French and Greek, that cover the second half of the twentiethcentury in the broadest sense, characterized by the use of the tragic myth or of tragic motifs. Ourapproach is based on two axes: on one hand we examine the notion of character, a fundamentalelement of a dramatic work, in his becoming tragic. In this way and according to the two phasesof what we call “the tragic movement”, the character, after passing from the identity to the alterityof self, he then “chooses” himself as a finite being, or, in other words, as a being “inscribed indeath”; finally, he arrives at the point of transcendence of his own finitude. On the other hand, weexamine the notion of the tragic person, namely the conception of the “real” human, as it isformulated on the basis of the tragic hero, by the reader/spectator. The meaning of the tragicperson lies in a passage from the ordinary world to a “new reality”, where the becoming of thehuman being and the openness to the Other dominates. In this context, the spectator experiencesthe catharsis that can be identified with the “tragic joy”

Full textViolence comes across black african French-speaking theatrical production since its origins. It is prone to thematic and aesthetic changes which makes it evolve from one period to another. We have thus passed from confined theatres of assimilated violence where the form was a constraint to an outburst of writings dealing with violence in contemporary works. Violence appears in the plays of William Ponty (1930) under the form of cultural conflict drawn from African customs. Turned into political violence, it embarks the dramaturgic categories during the Seventies in the confrontation of the colonizer against the colonised. With the theatre of the 1980’s, violence, still political, takes however another form marked by an attempt to disrupt with classical theatrical canons. Associating the burlesque with tragedy, bypassing the French language, establishing a dialogue between tradition and modernity through an endogenous writing are as many realities characterizing the expression of conflicts about disillusionnement. In most of the plays following the1990’s, on the other hand, the conflicts take on a plural image which convenes the world through distinctive modes of expression. It results in a hybrid writing in which violence is voiced out through the dislocation of the dramatic categories and of the meaning that emerges out of it. From this scriptural dynamics of violence arises a displacement of the theatrical stakes in so far as African dramas today get rid of the nationalist inclinations to endorse the world’s realities. Thus the opening of contemporary theatres to the world creates a variety of forms whose complexity calls into question the concept of Africanity

Full textThis research in theater studies aims to survey the uses and presence of documentary photography in contemporary theatrical writings. Through a corpus of six plays, written between 2010 and 2022, it analyzes the various interpretations of this unprecedented interest in documentary photography within the field of French theatrical writing, an interest that is part of a broader “passion for the real” (S. Zizek) already identified in the artistic and literary fields. Whether it is characters’ dialogues about photographic activity, the use of photography as material for writing, or the expression of a photographic imagination within the plays, documentary photography permeates the writing gestures of these authors and disperses, materially or immaterially, throughout the texts. This work adopts an intermedial perspective, drawing on concepts from visual studies to map this sudden interest in photography within theater : what does it reveal, through the voices of playwrights, about our image-saturated world? How does dramatic writing stage photographic practices, in an age of new communication technologies and the rise of social networks ? Can the stage become a site for renewing our representations, teaching us to “see seeing,” as art critic John Berger put it ? This study thus explores contemporary visual practices and the ways in which these practices, re-examined by the authors, can simultaneously play with traces, serve as both pamphlet and poetry, and, through the unfolding of images on the theatrical stage, potentially give voice and presence to the « subaltern » (G.C. Spivak)

Full textIn our globalized contemporaneity, the speed of flows, exchanges and cultural transfers have increased. In this characteristic context of our modernity, there are figures dominating the landscape: the figures of travel and movement. They are incarnated in many identities and representations and meet some form of flexibility or emergency where the question of the frontier has taken a significant place. In this context, the question of the deterritorialisation of bodies, identities and imaginaries has become an important issue that alters and transforms the notions of constancy and stability in creation and scenic languages. Artistic and cultural transfers can consequently be perceived as the result of moving whose random nature would test the creation and its processes. In this way, the stage work should be considered as a place of convergence in which many visions of the world and the human are to be found. Then it would become essential to grasp the question of physical and symbolic move in a relational dynamic in which the narrowing of spaces and time would have meaning only in a consciousness of our belonging to the Tout-Monde, conceptualized by Édouard Glissant. To reflect on the forms and mutations of the representations and writings, inscribed in the "Mondialité", it would be to participate in the making sense of the complexification of the modalities and processes of scenic creation, by positing as a condition to these processes a thought of move and translation. This aesthetic and ethical thought would open the way to safeguarding the diversity of imaginaries necessary for all creation
Em nossa contemporaneidade globalizada, a velocidade dos fluxos, trocas e transferências culturais aumentou. Neste contexto, característico da nossa modernidade, há figuras que dominam a paisagem: as figuras do deslocamento. Elas são encarnadas em múltiplas identidades e representações e encontram-se diante de uma forma de flexibilidade ou urgência, onde a questão da fronteira ocupa um lugar predominante. Neste contexto, a questão da desterritorialização de corpos, identidades e imaginários tornou-se uma questão importante que altera e transforma as noções de constância e estabilidade na criação e nas lingagens cênicas. As transferências artísticas e culturais podem assim ser percebidas como resultado do deslocamento cuja natureza aleatória testaria a criação e seus processos. Daqui em diante, o trabalho do palco deve ser considerado como um lugar de convergência em que muitas visões do mundo e do ser humano estão encontradas. Seria então essencial compreender a questão do deslocamento físico e simbólico em uma dinâmica relacional em que o estreitamento dos espaços e do tempo teria significado apenas na consciência de nossa pertença ao Tout-Monde, conceituado por Édouard Glissant. Refletir sobre as formas e mutações das representações e escrituras inscritas na "Mondialité", seria participar na decriptagem da complexificação das modalidades e dos processos de criação cênica, propondo como condição para esses processos um pensamento de deslocamento e de tradução. Este pensamento, tanto estético como ético, abriria o caminho para preservar a diversidade dos imaginários necessários para qualquer criação
Nella nostra contemporaneità globalizzata, la velocità dei flussi, degli scambi e dei trasferimenti culturali è aumentata. In questo contesto caratteristico della nostra modernità, ci sono figure che dominano il paesaggio: le figure dello spostamento. Sono incarnate in molte identità e rappresentazioni e si trovano di fronte a una forma di flessibilità o urgenza in cui la questione della frontiera ha preso un posto di rilievo. In questo contesto, la questione della deterritorializzazione dei corpi, delle identità e degli immaginari è diventata una questione importante che altera e trasforma le nozioni di costanza e stabilità nella creazione e nei linguaggi scenici. I trasferimenti artistici e culturali possono perciò essere percepiti come conseguenza dell' spostamento in cui la natura casuale avrebbe messo alla prova la creazione e suoi processi. D'ora in poi, il lavoro scenico dovrebbe essere considerato come un luogo di convergenza in cui si possono trovare molte visioni del mondo e del essere umano. In questo, sarebbe diventato essenziale de capire la questione del spostamento fisico e simbolico in una dinamica relazionale in cui il restringimento dello spazio e del tempo avrebbe senso solo nella coscienza di appartenenza nel Tout-Monde, concettualizzato da Édouard Glissant. Riflettere sopra le forme e trasformazioni delle rappresentazione e scritture incisi nella "Mondialité" sarebbe quindi partecipare della decrittazione della complessità dei termini e processi delle creazione sceniche, posizionando come condizione per questi processi un pensiero di spostamento e traduzione. Questo pensiero, sia estetico che etico, apre la strada a salvaguardare la diversità degli immaginari necessari per qualsiasi creazione

Full textSince the end of 1970, in France and Spain, the writers express an interest growing for the detective novel. The comparative study of French and Spanish authors such as Vázquez Montalbán, Modiano, Pennac, Munoz Molina or Daeninckx makes it possible to highlight the role of a sub-genre in the field of literature. In response to the "avant-gardes" which issued the end of the story, of the characters and of the commitment, transgressing the limits between literature of masses and the art of the elite, these novelists in search of a narrative voice or way adapt the tools and the structure of a genre considered as very normative to give again a framework and sense to the contemporary novel. Reaffirming the bond between ethic and aesthetics as well as the statute of the fiction in its capacity to apprehend reality, they write a novel, concerned about the world. The investigation makes it possible to release the writing while raising the veil on a driven back past and to reconstitute the individual and collective memory

The study of a corpus formed by plays and new theatrical writings from Argentine, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela shows that giving importance to the body has allowed for an expansion of the notion of theatrical writing. The theatrical landscape of Latin America shows a great diversity of forms intimately bound to the social, political and economical conditions of different contexts. Such forms must be understood in light of a reflection both ethical and aesthetic

Full textSince Việt Nam initiated its open door policies, about fifteen years ago, there has appeared the calligraphy of quốc ngữ, – the Vietnamese Latinized alphabet –, being done with the Chinese brush. The borrowing by an alphabetical writing system of the calligraphy tool of Chinese ideograms illustrates a situation of digraphia related to the historical context of this country, which successively knew the two writing systems. The ethnographic description and the analysis of the discourse and practices of the calligraphers of the alphabet, on the one hand, and of the ritual usages of their graphic productions, on the other hand, highlight the competition of the two scripts, in what constituted the monopoly of the ideogram for a long time. That makes it possible to grasp and to characterize the strong imprint of the ideogram on the users of the alphabet. Each system results from a particular synthesis of image and language and the use of one or other by the same speech community obeying rules of distribution which we can realize, by questioning, as well, the admitted relation between graphic systems and modes of thinking

Full textThis dissertation wishes to contribute to the studies about the independent documentary film creations in contemporary China which confront national history. In an intellectual and artistic context, where the exhumation and transmission of the buried facts are repressed or bereft of public representation, we would like to observe three exemplary cases in this regard : HU Jie, Folk Memory Project, and MAO Chenyu. Our study will try to characterise the different propositions and the principal gestures in their experimentations of documentary writing style.For HU Jie, the principal gesture is also the seminal gesture of classical documentary filmmaking : to establish the facts. Based on collected testimonials and archival footage, HU Jie explores in his practice how the subjects of his films and the historical facts would come to shape intelligibly. Folk Memory Project is an ongoing participatory documentary experience that engages amateur filmmakers or citizens to go back to their families’ rural villages, and film elders’ memories about difficult times. The project sees its practice as creation, investigation, transmission, but also intimate introspection. In the case of MAO Chenyu, who centers his work in the rural region and China’s peasantry, with his innovative approach that explores perpetually about the possible articulation between cinema and other practices, his work provides an ethnographic thinking to history writing.These three practices all participate to the critical approach of history writing in sounds and images, which reclaims history's collective and plurality becoming

Full textThis dissertation reflects on nature writing in French-speaking contemporary literature. Drawing on a corpus of literary texts from Europe (Chevillard, Michon, Mingarelli, Ollier, Réda, Rouaud, Simon, Tesson, Trassard) and the Caribbean (Chamoiseau, Glissant, Maximin), the author examines how awareness of ecological peril determines literary geographies and the representation of space more generally. North-American ecocriticism offers a part of the theoretical framework, but recent findings in European ecopoetics prove to be more suitable to analyse literature in French. The study shows that ecological awareness entails a new worldview that invalidates pre-existing representations of space. Thus, exploring the wilderness does not longer lead the observer to celebrate the sublime landscapes that nature offers him. On the contrary, the encounter with the wilderness tends to be unsuccessful, and if it entails any sublime experience, it is equally a temporary and a fragile one. Likewise, the prehistoric narrative does not longer rely on the literary strategies of the traditional prehistoric novel: rather than to reconstruct a prehistoric time and to show the triumphant arrival of humankind as does the latter, the contemporary narrative conducts in the present an uncertain and troubled investigation regarding the significance of prehistoric human traces. Literary texts thus show the discrepancy between the relativity of human history and the permanence of geological time. They underline the need to reconfigure traditional representations of space and question the central position that humankind attributes to himself. Literature then promotes space as a plastic and mobile entity. The garden more precisely appears to be a motive that reconciles human efforts of planning and managing with the disorderly energy of nature. Contemporary literary aesthetics appear then to be determined by an ecopoetic mobility that signals a new empathy with the world
In deze studie wordt het natuurschrijven (nature writing) in de hedendaagse Franssprekende literatuur ondervraagdUitgaand van een corpus van Europese (Chevillard, Michon, Mingarelli, Ollier, Réda, Rouaud, Simon, Tesson, Trassard) en Caribische teksten (Chamoiseau, Glissant, Maximin), bestudeert de auteur hoe de bewustwording van de ecologische crisis de literaire afbeelding van plaats beïnvloedt. Het theoretisch kader wordt deels door de Noord-Amerikaanse ecokritiek verschaft, maar de recente ondervindingen van de Europese ecopoetiek blijken nog beter aangepast aan de Franstalige literatuur. Het onderzoek toont aan dat de ecologische crisis een nieuw wereldbeeld meebrengt dat de traditionele weergave van plaats in vraag stelt. De verkenning van de wildernis leidt bijvoorbeeld niet tot een sublimering van het natuurlandschap, maar de ontdekkingen van de reiziger blijven beperkt tot een gedempt subliem, een tijdelijke gebeurtenis die op elk ogenblik onderbroken kan worden. Het prehistorisch verhaal vernieuwt evenzeer de literaire structuren van de traditionele prehistorische roman. Daar waar deze laatste de prehistorische tijd getrouw weergeeft en de triomf van de mensheid in beeld brengt, vertelt het prehistorische verhaal veeleer een twijfelende en angstig zoektocht omtrent de prehistorische sporen van de mensheid in het landschap. De relatieve historische tijd van de mens contrasteert zo met de ononderbroken eeuwigheid van de geologische tijd. Wat de literatuur dan naar voor brengt, is de nood om de bestaande verwoordingen van ruimtegevoel te herzien en om de mens te doen afzien van de centrale plaats die hij zich gewoonlijk toekent. Plaats is dan, zoals de teksten aantonen, een plastisch en mobiel gegeven. Zo blijkt de tuin een plek te zijn die de menselijke zin voor ordening en vormgeving verzoent met de ontembare energie van de natuur. De esthetische weergave van plaats in de hedendaagse literatuur beantwoordt zo aan een ecopoëtische beweeglijkheid als teken van een vernieuwde overeenstemming met de wereld

Full textThe current craze for French-speaking theatre for young people leads to considering forty plays through the notion of « jeu* », complex and polysemic term which has interestingly both a creative and destructive influence on this genre. The playing and acting of the characters sometimes clarify the tensions within the plays and facilitate the reception. But the understanding of the plays is challenged by very subtle forms of playing, ranging from dreaming to non-game. So the young audience needs to be involved to really understand the plays. Identification and catharsis are not enough. The games of re-writing also contribute to challenge the reception for a youngest audience because they are based on subversion and multiple layers of significations. But scenography and acting are ways to still release the pleasure of the show. Games about genres enable the young audience to keep contact with the plays because of the contributions of narrative literature, visual arts and poetry. Even if these influences endanger the acting of the plays, the renewal of the dramatic genre is also the way to find a new young audience. (*The word is in French game, playing or acting)

Full textTechnological advances, especially in telecommunications, call into question relationship modes and information transfers in today’s world. Contemporary dance has been affected by the use of technologies on stage (image, video, internet, software), which has modified choreographic practices. If the basic elements of choreographic creation - namely the dancing body, scenic space and dance time – are infringed upon by the use of technology and telecommunication (telepresence), how can choreographers think and write including these new parameters ? What can dance gain or lose ? Are we witnessing the dawn of a new dance, or the surfacing of a new art ? The redefinition of the dancing body, which interacts with its space and time, is at the core of this research. As a working methodology for the theoretical analysis of this research, we propose Seuil-Lab, a hands-on project in the form of a multidisciplinary choreographic creation lab

Full text''At the meeting of the work of Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, putting in space of a contemporary writing '' is the subject of this thesis which guided us in our various researches. Visual artist and former student of the Schools of Beaux Arts of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire), and Marseille (France), our meeting with Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, the self-taught artist and inventor of a so-called purely African writing was the opportunity to question our artistic practice by analyzing its approach to creation. Through this research, it is a double homage to his person and his work. Indeed, it is in the objective of preserving the knowledge of his people the Bété, and of all people who do not have a writing he creates a syllabary made of pictograms. Starting from human sounds, different sounds, stories and legends in Bété countries, to produce graphic signs, was a process that motivated our research. It is for us in the questioning of our practice making in an abyss our paintings, by the passage from the illusionist space of the painting to a three-dimensional space. Noises, sounds, and syllables that are immaterial, Frédéric Bruly Bouabré has come to produce graphic signs of a new language. Inspired by this approach, we deconstruct the pictorial work to extract its constituents which are put in space to translate this desire to make different techniques coexist.painting, writing, sculpture, and installation

Full textThis doctoral thesis in performing arts looks into scenic writings of human disasters in contemporary theatre. It examines dynamics underlying the representation of barbarism within spectacular forms imprinted with a visual dimension. Split into two parts – a first one, critical and a second one, practical -, the work is firstly structured around a corpus composed of three shows : Kamp of the Hotel Modern group, Rwanda 94 of Groupov and Rouge décanté by Guy Cassiers. Through the observation of the works in the light of the complexity and by analysing it with a systemic approach, the study attempts to reveal the moves – aesthetic, perceptive and thematic – that drive these heterogeneous writings. The second part of the thesis deals with a process of experimentation led in the scenic space. The latter, dedicated to outline an original artistic creation, questions occidental memories on the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda. The practical experience echoes back to several issues raised by the critical investigation and proposes another form of reflection, directly led on the stage. Keywords : Contemporary theatre, Research-creation, Complexity, Genocide, Images, Europe.

The latter, dedicated to outline an original artistic creation, questions occidental memories on the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda. The practical experience echoes back to several issues raised by the critical investigation and proposes another form of reflection, directly led on the stage. Keywords : Contemporary theatre, Research-creation, Complexity, Genocide, Images, Europe.
Arnold, Markus. "Écritures de violence et d’interculturalité : enjeux identitaires dans le roman contemporain mauricien d’expression française et anglaise." Thesis, La Réunion, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012LARE0002/document.
Full textThis research project explores the different inscriptions of postcolonial identities in an extensive corpus of Mauritian novels written in French and English between 1990 and 2010. Over these last few decades, aesthetic, thematic and poetic innovation can be observed in a young generation of Francophone Mauritian writers, whereas such tendencies are rare among their Anglophone counterparts. While the former can be characterized by their subversive, demystifying and anti-exoticising postures, as well as their complex ways of interrogating issues of identity, the latter rather seem artistically stagnant. The Mauritian literary field clearly reveals itself as unequal as far as quantity and quality are concerned. A postcolonial ‘cross-reading-against-the-grain’ of these different texts, which focuses on leitmotivs of violence and interculturality, allows us to interrogate critically a certain number of literary tendencies currently found in Mauritius. How do the novels negotiate the island’s topographies and temporalities? Which ethno-cultural logics and ideological dynamics can be found underlying these contemporary texts? How do the novels represent complex factors such as ethnicity, class, gender? In other words, how do the Mauritian writers reflect on – or refuse to do so – the complexity of their multicultural nation? This comparative endeavour aims at understanding the dominant characteristics of a very heterogeneous literary field and seeks to analyze to what extent the new aesthetic tendencies offer original perspectives on contemporary issues of identity in Mauritian society as well as its literary production
Karampagia, Valentina. "Écriture et danse contemporaines. Une lecture de Gherasim Luca et de Dimitris Dimitriadis à l'épreuve du performatif." Thesis, Paris 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA030065.
Full textThis thesis proposes a path throughout the poetry of Gherasim Luca and the dramatic writing of Dimitris Dimitriadis based on the philosophical and the aesthetic questions of performativity. This notion circulating between the philosophy of language and of art is decisive so as to understand the great relation of both authors’ writing to the body and the act of reading. Contemporary dance is a basic reference into this path : it is, indeed, profoundly performative as it’s creations are similar to demonstration and it’s temporality vacillates between the moment of improvising and the composition’s repetition. Demonstration is, equally, a performative aspect of language : words define things, and thus, they inscribe them in an motion. Therefore, language is the scene where the performance of being restarts endlessly. Furthermore, performativity of language is determined by the vacillation between the present and repetition itself : meaning is grasped by a mouvement of undermining of the present by a past improbable to limitate and all communication takes place in the background of something that espaces from it. Instead of clarifying an object, language’s fuction is to broaden it infinitely. Contemporary danse is an island in this vast space of thought on performativity and offers precious tools so as to navigate in the hybrid literary work of Luca and Dimitriadis. Danse indeed converses with these texts, which unfold the plasticity of language. It finally gives answers in regard to the texts’ tendancy to render the past of writing and the present of reading, as well as the boundaries between poetry and theater, permeable

Full textThis study analyses the impact of postmodernism on the development of a new style of writing in post U. S. S. R. , it discuses the role of social political changes, the specificity of U. S. S. R. Modernism, as well as the influence of poetical postmodernism on the post-meta-narrative. Postmodernism would appear to be a logical development in Russian literature and whilst retaining its specific traits, parallels the West. When examining the origins of postmodern Russia, we try to estimate the value of official literature paralled with the development of a new style of writing. In order to help us decide how to categorize 'such and such' postmodern works on post U. S. S. R. Literature, we examine the criteria which enables us to qualify a postmodern text. By demonstrating the limits of this approach this work underlines the absence of a pertinent definition, and proposes to address postmodernism like a 'behaviour', a 'style of writing' which characterises the production of contemporary Russia

Full textHan Dong is one of the most prominent authors in Chinese contemporary literature. Avant-gardist poet during the 1980’s, he is nowadays a renowned and respected novelist, essayist and screenwriter who has just finished his first project as director.The purpose at the heart of this thesis is to outline the author’s point of view on the society he lives in through the subject of love throughout his work, as well as to point out how by the means of this topic he can in fact tackle issues that go far beyond mere love and romance. At the same time, this study aims at presenting to the public a rich and complex literary production offering key elements to understand both contemporary Chinese society and China’s modern recent history

Full textExile and roaming are recurrent themes in the contemporary literature of the lesser english and french antilles. The works of a. Cesaire, e. Glissant, g. Pineau, d. Radford, saint-john perse, a. And s. Schwarz-bart, n. Bissoondath, v. S naipaul, c. Philipps, s. Selvon and d. Walcott bear the marks of the exodus and exiles of the antillean people. The considered corpus is composed of poems, novels, essays and texts with an autobiographical character. The study questions the way authors write the story of exile and their own exile story. It sounds out the relationship between the mother continents - africa and india - and the occidental countries : france, great britain, canada and the united states. The first part, " exiles memories ", studies the dialectic of the memory and the forgetfulness, analyses the elaboration of the memory places - ocean of the conquest, sea of the deportation, mythical africa and india. It explores the track : manifestation of a fragmentary and often lacunar memory. The second part, "migrant writings", has been consecrated to the exile in the west. It studies the texts in which the "i" is predominant and is situated between autobiography and fiction. It considers the part of the author's character in his writing and the spaces of the migration. " the roaming in the world" questions the "deterritorialisation" concept. This part focuses on the work of saint-john perse, e. Glissant and d. Walcott. The feeling to be west indian, which the three authors differently share, opens on the referent seas and the american continent. The concept of roaming, that can be found in the writing process itself, generates poetics and elaborates a multiple cartography. Inspired by different sources, it carries through the idea of a non exclusive belonging. Emerges an exile and roaming literature that is open of the whole world

Full textAs a novelist, essayist, and former general secretary of the Asociación Colegial de Escritores de España, Andrés Sorel (Segovia, 1937) is best known for his anti-Franco activism. To this day, he has published fifteen novels and a considerable number of essays. Since the nineteen sixties, all his work has been written under the sign of commitment, which may partly explain his side-lining from the editorial market. This thesis aims at analyzing how his intellectual disagreement with the dominant ideology is built up in his novelistic production. We will attempt to define the outlines of commitment, whether through his part as an intellectual, in its most controversial aspects, or through the characteristics of his committed writing, in its textual and pre-textual dimension. We will also analyze how the markers of commitment develop in the construction of the narrator, his characters and temporality. By always paying equal attention to the ideological content and its shaping, Sorel conceives writing as an exercise of rehabilitation of the memory of the vanquished, thus becoming a part of – and in a certain way launching – the "novel of the memory" which has dominated the literary panorama of Spain for the last two decades. It is therefore a matter of analyzing the dialectical tension that is played out between a fictional narrative and a method that uses factual elements, especially experimenting. Through the plurality of literary testimonies, Sorel’s texts seek to bring out the hidden truths and give a voice to those who have been deprived of it. We will study the formal devices through which his stories establish a counter power against the dominant discourse of authoritarian, totalitarian or democratic regimes. Lastly, we will analyze the pragmatic dimension of a writing style that claims to transform reality, in order to grasp the degree of visibility of its literary discourse and its media presence, as well as the way in which his novels are perceived by literary criticism. We will finally try to outline the reader types conveyed by the story, whether to legitimize or to reject them
Haus, Brigitte. "Lettres hébraïques dans l'art contemporain en France après la seconde guerre mondiale." Paris 10, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA100123.
Full textIn the second half of the twentieth century, to counteract the loss of Jewish identity resulting from the annihilation of Jewish culture in Eastern Europe and North Africa, an artistic movement focussed on Hebraic letters arose, particularly in France. Central to Jewish thinking and expressed only in the languages of the Jews, the latter are considered here as the paradigm of Judaïsm. The movement gathered strength through the 1970s as the wars in Israel revived the quest for Jewish identity. The characteristic dissimulation of letters, particularly those comprising writing, is seen as a metaphorical reference to the unintelligibility of the Torah in Jewish mysticism, to the extinction of Jewish life, and to the inexpressibility of the trauma of the Holocaust. Evoking tradition and modernity, the movement draws on the specificity of Jewish art since the Middle Ages, adding references to contemporary art forms, especially those featuring writing. In part, its inspiration is drawn from catholic iconography in illustration of abstract cabalistic concepts. Thus, the Diaspora is both its rationale and its source of inspiration. The influence of Chinese art –corroborating the leaning of many Jews towards Buddhism – reflects the ambivalence of the feelings of otherness and assimilation of the Jews of France. Setting hope, life, dance and music, on the same connotation level as the Holocaust, the movement embodies reconstruction

Full textWe have so often heard that movement is condemned to the fleeting that we have come to believe it. Movement, it means all human physical action leaves its traces in space and time. Dance, sport or daily gestures of the human being crossed with fragility the centuries. The verb, the drawing, the photography and now the audio-visual technics described, reproduced and recorded physical action without representing it totally. However, in the western world, since the middle age, appeared the desire to represent by writing the human body movements, and create a writing for the movement, as it exist for the music the sound. After several attempts which have had more or less importance in dance and gesture history, the xxth century is a witness of the coming of four movement notations : laban, conte, benesh and eskhol. The writing of movement is a mean for transcribing and analyzing movement. "ecriture conte" for example, is a writing system using signs, most of which are borrowed from musical writing. Besides, writing brings to movement a new status: it gives to movement the memory it has never had. Movement, then, is no longer condemned to the fleeting but to interpretation, a tem which seems to become less clear as one tries to comprehend it. But is it not here the becoming of each writing ?

Full textLiteracy practices in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut, and Igloolik, a smaller community located in the northern Baffin region, illustrate the daily management of bilingualism by the speakers of the new territory. From the learning of syllabics to social networking sites, a large range of individual experiences is discussed. They contextualize linguistic attitudes, which determine language choice according to the mode of expression. The marginality of Inuit language literacy is readily perceived in this portrait of practices, regardless of the vitality that the language may show orally. These limitations on the expansion of Inuktitut, in all possible domains of use, weaken the balance of an unavoidable complementary relationship with English. A study of the linguistic situation in Greenland shows a different reality, which raises several questions. Dialect diversity, lived experiences of urbanization, economical dynamics and identity mobilizations all have an influence on literacy practices. Conclusions are then drawn about the promotion of the Inuit language. Keywords: syllabic literacy, Nunavut, Inuit language.
Ye, Xin. "La conscience de l'écrire dans le langage pictural : de la tradition chinoise à l'esprit contemporain occidental." Paris 4, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040099.
Full textIn the Chinese pictural language there is a "consciousness of writing" since the painter draws a picture as the scribe writes: in one spontaneous and rhythmic stroke, following a kind of pictorial grammar that constitutes the traditional codification of painting. These characteristics are the result of the joint evolution of painting and calligraphy from the same instrument, the brush; of the same aesthetic values and the appropriation of these two arts by the same scholar elite. In the occident, a similar spirit appeared at the end of the XIXth century when painters looked for a more spontaneous pictorial stroke that, in itself, embodied, beauty. This tendency was confirmed during the XXth century with such painters as Matisse who searched for a new form of "plastic writing"

These artists from different islamic and arab countries created a new current, researching all modern ways of representation. Their varions artistic works with their different forms of expression may be classified into many groups as follows : 1- The expressionism group 2- The composition group. 3- The experimental calligraphy group. 4- The simultaneous calligraphy group. 5- The analytical calligraphy group. 6- The group of those artists :aking use of calligraphy as an easy solution to avoid artistic problems such as those in connection with plastic art.

Full textThe study of Patrick Kermann's work makes it possible to draw up the contours of a drama in which the words of the dead endanger the mimesis and become a real wager on absence. The different voices give presence to the departed, forming the framework of the drama through very condensed, intermittent and heterogeneous sound material. The rhythmic composition opens up on a polyphony of voices which produces a desperate appeal from the dead who have found no place among the living. A first part deals with the dramatic effects of what follows, when those who disappeared come back to relate their intimate disaster and the barbarity of the world. A second part moves the analysis to the angle of sonorous dramatic art and examines the way in which the textual score causes the language to resound, privileging auditory reception, which is not without questioning the reader's position and, perhaps, even more, that of the spectator. Thus it is that these abandoned voices meet producers who greet them with offers of unexpected areas intended to be an answer to the confusion resulting from listening to absent bodies

Full textThis research takes place among some documentary practices in the contemporary Italian field : Michelangelo Frammartino, Gianni Celati, Pietro Marcello… Studied as specific methods of mediation and writing in the middle of many others organizing today’s medial world, these experiences reveal us their specific ecological status. We refer to a general ecology (socio-political, perceptive and symbolic) : the one that has been defined by thinkers like Felix Guattari, Tim Ingold or Bruno Latour. Devoted to an empirical dwelling as much as to an interactive attention towards our environments, these documentary creations record, question and narrate the entanglement of presences composing our milieux. Despite a fundamental cinematic interest (first of all for Michelangelo Frammartino), the theories and the exemples taken into account allow us to define a category of « documentary » capable of including other medial forms like literature (through Gianni Celati, above all) or theatre on the basis of a commun technical exploration of the environments we dwell in. Between the lines of such an ecological and trans-medial concept of documentary we spot the landmarks of a more sustainable and attentive way of living the multilayered environments (« natural » as well as social, technical and semiotic) in which we are always already involved. Such an alternative way of living begins with other storytellings and other perceptions of what surrounds us that we will call « counter-fictions »

Full textThis dissertation examines the rewriting of some myths from the female point of view in order to propose a (re)construction of women's genealogy. What are the representative figures of the mother/daughter relationship, and how are they constructed? In which movements do the rewritings of classical myths fit? Should the myths created by men be diverted in order to achieve a new female genealogy? This work is based on a double comparative approach ; first, it proposes an analysis of archetypal mother-daughter figures in a mythocritical perspective ; second, it brings together texts from French and Polish literature on cultural and linguistic levels. Thus, the biblical figures of Eve and Mary are compared with representations of pagan mythologies, such as Demeter and Persephone, Iphigenia and Clytemnestra, or finally Medea. These ancient figures of maternity return in force, revisited by contemporary French and Polish writers, to redefine the perception of the mother/daughter relationship. The works analyzed are numerous; for the French corpus, they range from Hélène Cixous to Christine Angot, and for the Polish texts, this dissertation focuses on women’s literature after 1989, when a more intimate literature emerged. These texts will be presented and analyzed so that the French reader can usefully discover them in tandem with the French texts. Considerable importance is given to the translation of extracts from these texts, in view of a complete translation later on. Despite the different socio-cultural contexts in which the two literatures have evolved, a real dialogue is established at the level of mythical paradigms. This rapprochement makes possible to imagine a universality inscribed in the ancient myths evoking the figures of motherhood. It is ultimately a common quest of women searching for a history in order to find foundations for a new genealogy
Nouar, Adel. "Le 11 septembre et la fiction américaine : écritures d'un contre-récit." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019AIXM0097.
Full textThe terrorist attacks that targeted America on September 11, 2001,and whose price was paid by NewYork city in the harshest and bloodiest way,left the country speechless, at loss for words. Soon, authors of fiction were asked to providea semblance of meaning for the worst attacks ever launched on American soil. Don DeLillo was the first writer to answer this call by publishing an essay on the very next day following the attacks that frames where the literaryresponse, and that of fictionmore specifically, to9/11 should begin. The challenge facingthe writers of fiction was to opposeboth terrorism and the belligerent triumphalism of an America that had turned its mourning into a normative discourse from which the slightest deviation was deemed unpatriotic. The counternarrative thus called for by DeLillo in «In the Ruins of the Future» gave literature the opportunity to fully take part into the writing of 9/11. Such an endeavour gave birth to what was soon labelled «post-9/11 fiction» and characterised by a great diversity that this study seeks to sample. From reclaiming the wounded city, to reinterpreting American history, all the way to redefining America’s relationship with the rest of the world, the counternarrative provides the occasion to reflect upon the powers of fiction, making this study take part into a largerdebate over“What can literature do?”

Full textThis research project examines the representation of the experience of extreme violence in the contemporary fictional space of Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa. The numerous works of prose fiction written in the wake of the armed conflicts of the 1990s and the Rwandan genocide raise questions related to the representation of pain, cruelty and death as well as to the ethics of art. How do literary texts put into narrative traumatic events? How do writers think and problematize extreme crises of immediate history? By the means of what literary modalities are these crises constituted into an object of knowledge and awareness? And what esthetic and language strategies have been privileged to convey the memory of the atrocities in order toprovide testimony or aim at critical reflection? This thesis explores the writing of the collective tragedies that, from a historical and socio-cultural perspective, mark the start of a new period of violence in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this context, we are focusing predominantly on texts that are characterized – through the distinctive choices of form and style operated by the authors – by a radicalization of discourse and particularly violent plots and esthetics. This research which interrogates the powers and the possible limits of art in the representation of facts of extreme violence analyses an extensive corpus of novels and short stories published between 1998 and 2010 and suggests a multidisciplinary approach which, next to literary and esthetic theories, draws on history, sociology, anthropology and psychiatry

Full textThe expressivity of the intimate on the Web takes three forms: normalized, hidden/shown and escaped. Each has a specific function, to answer to injunctions of power devices, to manage emotional bonds and a function that is still unknown. Contextualizing our ways of existence whether in our relations with the public and private spheres or in our professional life, reveals that we have moved from a reflexive society to an expressive society where the sensual is distinguished from the sexual and the intimate from intimacy. Theses divides shape the expressivity of the intimate. It becomes a gap concept. It brings together within itself the deepest interiority and its dramatized form in order to allow the establishment of relationships with others through hidden/shown and escaped games. Intimate statements on Facebook or dating sites operate like an exchange norm in games of gifts and counter-gifts. "If I am able to play the intimate game and you are too, we can become closer." The exchange of trivialities or the sharing of love-related myths serve this game. Uses of fakes, humor and supposed secrets are strategies that indicate that a knowledge of intimate issues is at work in the building of links. Furthermore, the virtualized body becomes spectral, an ancillary body at the service of the production of subjectivity which responds to the endless quest of a body-without-organs. The diffusion of a picture of a body online proves its existence and unity. So, it doesn’t disappear in the Web because, as flesh itself is absent from it. This loss could be the origin of the expressiveness of intimacy on the Web as a compensation. The Flesh of words against bodily flesh. This communicational process becomes relational and continues the flow of subjectivity production. Usually limited in its capacities of enunciation by the danger of normalizing the intimate, the production of subjectivity seems ineffective because desire arrangement appear as prefabricated on these Websites. The diffusion of this prototype doesn’t prevent subjectivity from producing new arrangements that will in turn be re-used by devices in the future. Subjectivity is increasingly oppressed even in the intimate but finds new voices for its resingularisation. There then exist relationships between the progress of democratic societies and perverse defenses using the intimate more as a bargaining chip than as a token of interiority

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to highlight what constitutes one of the major temptations of modern and contemporary poetry. Heiress of Mallarmé era, poetry is more than ever aware of the vacuity of words and of the inexpressible. All certainty regarding the qualifying and ownership of the world being excluded, poetry has to go throught the ordeal of annihilation to conquer a new horizon. This aesthetics of verbal privation which it seems to claim today, drives to its climax the paradox of its own existence. The art of « logos » doesn't hold this passionate covetousness of the verba ; the object of desire now stands in the silence and the typographic whites. Eugène Guillevic's, Lorand Gaspar's, Jacques Dupin's ans Claude Esteban's minimalist poems seem to dismantle before our eyes, always harrassed and tempted by the hollowing-out, by the aphasia. The contemporary poem's presence in the world, thus, comes trought this experience of furthermost bounds, this ineffable absence of the world, as if the original chant was trying to find again a new breath through the coveted silence

Full textTraditionally, typographers claim transparency of typography as its only function is to serve the legibility of the text. However, the history of typography reveals that another approach gives prominence to its expressiveness due to its visual qualities. In some children's books we can even find a typography, that we have called poetic typography, which transcends the meaning of the text by its graphical and plastic properties. In that case, the typographic mark, legible as much as visual object, becomes composite since as it relates to linguistics as much as visual semiotics. At the same time, the textual arrangement, beyond its linguistic nature, also exists by its imaging, graphical or plastic function. So, by a dynamic reappropriation of space, the poetic typography rethinks the notions of temporality and spatiality in freeing itself from the linearity of reading and in requesting the reader to embrace the whole double page like a painting. The study of a corpus of books will enable to demonstrate how poetic typography transcends the meaning of the text and disrupts its physically thanks to the imaging value it gives it.From a didactic point of view, our research questionning would remain in asking ourselves to what extent the pupils use in their writings. We will analyse the various writing processes they use and the meaning they create. The didactic protocol that we have been setting up in classes at the end of primary school education will tendto assess if this particular textual materiality, which is intrinsically metascriptural, really contributes to stage their emotions in co-involvement with the lexicon

Full textThis thesis deals with commitment in newspaper discourse via the case study of twenty BE X TO structures in present-day British English (e.g. BE able to, BE expected to, BE likely to, BE forced to, BE hard to, BE said to). These adjectival and participial constructions are linked to the interrelated domains of modality and evidentiality, and as such they play an important role in the organisation of points of view in news texts. Yet they have been the object of very little research until recently, probably because they belong to an ill-defined grouping of expressions which seem to resist categorisation and pose as a consequence a number of descriptive issues. The goal of the present work is to remedy this void by providing a unified analysis of the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic phenomena involved in the uses of these quasi-modal markers, through the lens of the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations. The schematic forms formulated on the basis of a detailed analysis of the Independent (1992-2009) corpus thus reveal that BE x TO structures are complex operators functioning as markers of property attribution and modalisation at the same time. Because of this double role, they are both factual and subjective, which probably contributes to their high frequency in newspaper discourse. It is also shown that depending on the co-text and the properties of individual structures, they are used by the speaker to express different types of stance or commitment. Finally, the uses of BEx TO structures are put into perspective via a study of their evolution in recent years. The data is considered with respect to grammaticalisation theory in a critical assessment

Full textDuras’s fictional texts and films have got problematical status among literary and cinematographic critics. To investigate writer’s work we should examine the rapport text/film and analyse visual aspects of literature. We also pay special attention to the concept of “hybridité” invented by literary critics. It is used to characterize Duras’s texts by means of such notions as “cinematographic” and “poetico-narrative” writing. Duras’s writing rejects all visual and poetic techniques, composes, and produces her own criteria of analysis. One of M. Duras’s main concerns was to create images which would liberate the spectator’s imagination. That is why the visual in her works has rhythmical, prosodical nature: the words have unlimited possibilities of proliferating mental images. Poetical force of Durassian texts is in the critical power of the language, of the discourse, in their poeticity. That is why “Le Navire Night” can be regarded as a poem (poème) in A. Meschonnic’s sense of the term, which supposes inventiveness, verbal “activity” of the texts, and personal ethics of creation
