Full textComposer Alfred Bruneau was one of the most popular musicians in the late 19th century. It is with its meeting with Emile Zola that it owes its first success, in 1891, with le Rêve. He then produced several lyric dramas inspired by the novelist's works. Emile Zola got interested in this artistic process and strated writing books for Alfred Bruneau. This fruitful association left quite a surprising literary corpus which alows us a new reading of Emile Zoal's works. Naturalistic opera house also emerged with its own codes and theoric bias. Lyric naturalism was thus in the foreground until 1907 and deeply changed the french and european musical world. An original documentation was needed to study this relatively unknown part of Emile Zola 's works. Therefore the rich collections kept by Alfred Bruneau were used a lot correspondences, private letters, original notes and manuscripts. . . The meticulous investigation of these documents give new and essential material to 19th century literature and music specialists

Full textEmile zola discovered in lourdes a wonderful subject which gave him the matter of a novel in which he intends to prove that the worship to the virgin mary made in front of the grotto is based on "lie and illusion". Lourdes contains an objective reporting about the city and the domain of the grotto in 1892. The dividing in five days square with the lasting of the national pilgrimage organised by the assumption fathers : the first and the last day report the travel of the pilgrims from paris to lourdes and back; the three others days are being enacted in front of the grotto and in the hotel where the prominent characters are staying, marie de guersaint and pierre froment. The young woman is paralysed and suffers of a nervous illness of which she is suddenly healed. Zola wants to prove the alleged miracles are natural phenomena. Mary's faith and the crowd's excitement which surrounds her have created adequate conditions for the healing. The other sick people leave lourdes without being definitively healed. Pierre is the "incarnation" of an unbelieving novelist; he denies the authority of apparitions of the virgin mary to bernadette; he considers the seer as an hysteric girl who took their dreams for visions recognized as true by a credulous clergy. The grotto is for zola a desperate and unfruitful attempt made by the church to save the catholic religion which, in zola's thought and aim, will be replaced by his "new religion" announced at the end of lourdes and developed in the five next novels

And with him the form of evil are in accordance with the levels of existence end the degrees of awareness of his caractere. Hence there will arise, not one conception of eveil, as a whole, powerful, immutable, but numberless forms, numberless questions, a thousand attitudes. These will be profondly echoed by the maturing of zolian conscience witch the demands of justice and truth, confirming that they can go beyond charity, will in their own time lignten the weignt of misery. This thesis undertakes a study and a reflection on evil, through through a literary work understood by its unity and as a whole, and whose rythme will follow precisely the three main stages of zola's work. The time of les rougon-macquart, of the downfall, regression and ruin, punctuated by the decadence of a family which as been contaminated in its turn, by the decadence end the corruption of an entire empire. The time of les trois villes, an unhappy state of mind in which the divergent yarnings of pierre froment. The time of les quatre evangiles, of redemption, and salvation; a messianic time which will climax in mankind finding peace. Neither a past event not a futur event, but e thread which links all the events of history to each other. A time of liberation from evil, a time of awakened conscience and love, wich enables zola's pacified conscience to do away with its old hereditary demon, its interior monsters. This exhaustive study takes into account for the first time all the writings of this naturalist novelist by setting them against the ideologies of his age

Full textE. Zola emerges as problematic from james's literary criticism. Our starting point is : what was the problem in james's under standing of zola ? here, we examine the jamesian review of the key words of "naturalism", and consequently its aesthetic fallacy. "naturalism" as a common denominator for james and zola proves to be problematic because of a real incompatibility of the term "naturalism" as applied to both of these two authors in the aesthetic field. Here we try to establish a more pertinent criteria (which is not as monopolistic as "naturalism" with respect to zola) based on their general literary activities themselves. Drawing a paralled between e. Zola and h. James in order to establish a particular comparative approach leads us to contemplate the two authors from a common perspective. We will study the aspects of confusion of mixed forms of literary genres that will guide us towards a certain salient aspect of interpenetration of different kinds of literary forms. Here we will examine the characteristics of this vision of transgression; towards expension or towards restraint. It is the dynamic force of transgression which could be interpreted as vitally essential in expanding or restricting the framework of literary genres a priori defined as novel, drama, etc. Our main task is to evaluate these characteristic aspects of literary froms-collision, tension and intervention with respect to various types of transgression in the novels and dramas of e. Zola and h. James, and to suggest a new specific perspective in "comparative study" of h. James and e. Zola

Full textThis thesis analyses firstly the setting up of space in the preparatory files of Les Trois Villes by Emile Zola. Thus we try to answer these following questions:According to which form is place set up? What are the transformations that space undergoes from one pre-text to another? What are the functions of that space and what is the relation between its setting up and the setting up of the characters and the plot? This study also aims at examining the displacement of characters in the final text of Les Trois Villes. This displacement takes place on different levels (local level, fictive level...) and by different means (look,speech, memory, imagination...). Finally, this thesis seeks to determine the different techniques of discribing places by analyzing the different "mecanisms" of the ambulatory description (mobile characters, figures of speech, enumeration...)

Full textAn analysis of Zolas Nana focusing on male desire. Through a study of the narrtive structure and the polemic relation between the concepts of “Nature” and “Culture” it is shown that opposing ideologies are imbedded in the text. Nana is a symbolic character, in large, a myth created by male desire that eventually becomes a manifestation of that desire. At the same time, however, the character Nana evolves from being a mirrored image of male desire into a more stable and real individual and this process is also an answer to when and why she dies,underlining the fact that she initially was a creation emanating from male desire and in losing those symbolic functions she loses her function in the novel.

Full textThis study purports to follow the way that has led zola to think of the rougonmacquart and to explain how the idealistic poet of 1858-1862 grew into the author of therese raquin within five years, and as early as 1868, laid the first stones of a huge building founded on the accurate observation of the contemporary world, and on the last scientific discoveries in physiology, to understand how a young provincial uprooted in paris at the age of eighteen, without any fortune, any degree, any acquaintance, achieved a name in journalism and literature in a few years. We have thus attempted at finding the multiple and complex conditions where from emerged a work that is meant as an outlook upon the contemporary world; we have tried to delimit this vision of things that is achieved through writing, its choices, its difficulties, its artfull tricks, by systematically studying the first works, as many first scales, perhaps, more revealing than the great texts of maturity, more controlled: poems, tales, various short stories, chronicles, novels, articles of literary or artistic criticism along which , through his reflection on contemporary literature and art, he contrived an aesthetic doctrine that can be defined by three terms: strong personality, modernity and truth. To follow this road, we have also relied on some unpublished documents: various archives, letters written or recieved by zola, first works quoted in appendix

Full textThe present doctoral thesis aims at the analysis of the theme of animality and bestiality in Hector France’s The Man who Kills (L’Homme qui tue), a novel written in 1878 and Emile Zola’s The Human Beast (La Bête Humaine) which dates around 1890. These two works represent two crossed visions on France, one on a country viewed from outside and the other on a state diagnosed in the light of its colonial politics. The purpose is to highlight the extent to which these two contemporaneous works at once mutually respond to and yet inescapably break off from each other. In their plots, in their political and ideological positions, their relationships to France, their modes of intervention in the blazing events of the time, everything separates France from Zola. However, digging deep into the differences, certain similarities can come up to the surface. Beyond the thematic link between their works that belies the narration they make of the human condition to either animality or bestiality, the more or less interwoven acquaintances, between the figures resulting from the metaphor of the human beast, or the similar if not identical destinies of certain characters, the gaps are too important to be overshadowed by a mere inventory of motifs, themes, and myths common to both writers. It is these very gaps which are extremely genuine. The more the disparities widen up between the writers, the more the motivations of this merging become more justified and fruitful. To read Zola and France in relation to each other, and eventually the one against the other, is to re-think over an important part of the literary map of the second half of the nineteenth century. This redefinition follows from the necessity of bringing face to face the centre and the periphery, the blazon and its shadow, the monument and its phantom

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo a realização da análise crítica das traduções brasileiras realizadas no século XX do romance Germinal, de Émile Zola, considerando as relações entre tradução e formação do sistema literário em nação periférica. A importância de se realizar esse estudo está na reflexão de como a tradução está inserida no contexto social, cultural e literário de uma nação, pois através de obras traduzidas, tem-se a possibilidade de se conhecer outras culturas, fato que, consequentemente, cria a oportunidade de realização de trocas literárias, com vistas ao enriquecimento da cultura local. A análise das traduções de Germinal no Brasil é relevante por se tratar de um romance canônico, peça-chave de um movimento literário que deixou marcas em importantes escritores brasileiros, como Aluísio de Azevedo. Esta dissertação busca demonstrar, à luz de estudos da crítica de tradução e da crítica literária, a importância da presença desse romance em nosso sistema literário. Para tal, analisaremos comparativamente as traduções e retraduções do romance em português, buscando estabelecer relações entre a primeira tradução portuguesa e as quatro brasileiras do século XX. Antes disso, verificaremos o processo de criação do movimento naturalista na França e sua recepção no Brasil. Analisaremos também os paratextos das obras traduzidas, com o objetivo de examinar a apresentação dessas obras aos leitores brasileiros. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
This dissertation aims to make a critical analysis of translation and a literary critical analysis of the Brazilian translations of Germinal, the novel written by Émile Zola, made in the 20th century, considering the relations between the translation and the formation of a literary system in a peripheral nation. The importance of this study is on lies in the reflection about how the translation is introduced in the social, economic, cultural and literary context of a nation because, besides the translation work, it is possible to get to know other nations, which consequently creates an opportunity for literary exchanges, aiming to enrich the local culture. Concerning the study of a French naturalist novel at the end of the 19th century, we can say that, even though it is a work produced a long time ago, it is important for the Brazilian literary context because of the influence France had on our literature especially at that period. The analysis of the translation of Germinal in Brazil is relevant because it is a canonic novel, which influenced many important Brazilian writers such as Aluísio Azevedo. This dissertation aims to demonstrate the importance of the presence of this novel in our literary system based on studies on translation critique and literary critique. In order to do this, we will analyze and compare a variety of translations into Portuguese, trying to establish a relation between the first translation into Portuguese and the four other Brazilian translations made in the 20th century. Before this, we will verify the creative process of the naturalist movement in France and how it was received in Brazil. We will also analyze paratexts of the translated works, aiming to examine the presentation of these works to Brazilian readers. ______________________________________________________________________________ RÉSUMÉ
Ce travail a pour objetctif l'analyse critique des traductions brésiliennes réalisées au XX siècle du roman Germinal, d´Émile Zola, dans le cadre des relations entre la traduction et la formation du système littéraire dans les nations périphériques. L'importance de la réalisation de cette étude est de penser la façon dont la traduction est intégrée dans le contexte social, culturel et littéraire d´une nation, car, à travers des œuvres traduites, nous avons l'occasion de rencontrer d'autres cultures, et la possibilité de mener des échanges littéraires en vue d'enrichir la culture locale. L'analyse des traductions de Germinal au Brésil est pertinente, car il s´agit d´un roman canonique, chef- d´oeuvre d´un mouvement littéraire qui a laissé des traces importantes dans l´oeuvre d´écrivains brésiliens tels qu´Aluísio de Azevedo. Ce travail cherche à démontrer, à la lumière des études critiques de la traductologie et de la critique littéraire, l'importance de la présence de ce roman dans notre système littéraire. Pour ce faire, nous allons analyser comparativement les traductions et retraductions du roman vers le portugais brésilien en essayant d’établir les relations entre la première traduction portugaise et les quatre traductions faites au Brésil au XX siècle. Avant cela, nous parcourons ce qui fonde le mouvement naturaliste en France et sa reception au Brésil. Nous analysons également le paratexte des oeuvres traduites dans le but d’examiner le mode de présentation des oeuvres aux lecteurs brésiliens.

Full textNeste trabalho, partimos de uma leitura comparativa – elegendo, para o efeito, dois romances de filiação naturalista: Nana, de Emile Zola, e O Livro de Alda, de Abel Botelho – à luz de uma poética do erotismo. Assim, começámos por salientar a apetência realista-naturalista para a representação do erotismo, principalmente na sua versão patológica e transgressiva, para, de seguida, podermos analisar os pontos de contacto e/ou de divergência existentes entre os referidos textos na abordagem da representação do corpo e do desejo femininos. Ora, não nos era possível avançar para uma análise comparativa sem, primeiro, efectuarmos uma retrospectiva das narrativas do século XIX, essencialmente as produzidas na segunda metade de Oitocentos. Procurámos, pois, debruçar-nos sobre um conjunto significativo de obras de vários autores, que, inegavelmente, contribuiu para uma nova reflexão sobre a metafísica do amor, da sedução e da sexualidade, contestando, portanto, o ideal romântico que defendia uma visão oposta da mulher, figurando-a como um objecto intocável e assexuado. De seguida, tentámos tecer algumas considerações teóricas sobre os conceitos inovadores realistas-naturalistas,visando sempre a construção simbólica de um imaginário erótico, sendo este representado por um sujeito enunciador de desejo – a mulher. Tentámos, também, demonstrar que a supremacia do discurso científico da época viria a contribuir para uma desmistificação da sexualidade feminina. Assim, a mulher, detentora de uma sensualidade exacerbada, seria objecto de estudo científico e representação literária, abrindo caminhos para o reconhecimento da sexualidade feminina, sem, contudo, deixar de salientar o lado perverso, maléfico e doentio dessas mulheres. Contudo, em obediência ao substrato realista-naturalista, o comportamento sexual desregrado tem sempre origem na hereditariedade, no meio e na educação. Estudada a estética naturalista e a figuração do corpo erótico na primeira parte do nosso trabalho, passámos a analisar, na segunda parte, os romances Nana e O Livro de Alda, intentando demonstrar a centralidade da figuração erótica feminina, quer na própria construção da narrativa, quer na codificação da temática realista-naturalista. ABSTRACT: In this dissertation we carry out a comparative reading of two naturalistic novels (Emile Zola’s Nana and Abel Botelho’s O Livro de Alda) in the light of the construction of a poetics of eroticism. We have started by highlighting the realistic-naturalistic preference for the textualization of eroticism, especially in its pathological and disruptive aspects, and have pointed out the similarities and divergences between both texts regarding the representation of the female desire and the female body. We wouldn’t be able to lead a comparative analysis had we not heeded the 19th narrative tradition with a special emphasis on novels written during the second half of the century. We have focussed on a significant number of works that have brought about a new reflection on the metaphysics of love, seduction and sexuality, in explicit opposition to the romantic ideal of the asexual untouchable female. We have made a few theoretical considerations about the innovative concepts defining realistic-naturalistic aesthetics pertaining to the symbolic construction of an erotic imaginary, as formulated by a female subject that clearly states her desire. We have attempted to show that the hegemony of the scientific discourse at the time has decisively furthered the demystification of female sexuality. It has therefore become the object of scientific and literary investigation, opening new paths for the recognition of female exacerbated sexuality, shedding some lighton the perverse and pathological side of these women. According to the realistic-naturalistic principles, deviant sexual behaviour is a by-product of heredity, environment and education. In the second section, we have analysed the novels Nana and O Livro de Alda, so as to highlight the representation of female eroticism in terms of narrative techniques and their relation to the realistic-naturalistic thematic frame of reference.

Full textMidway sociology of professions and sociology of art, the thesis aims at uncover the particular way in which Emile Zola theorize and practice literature. The first moment of this work demonstrate the methodological interest of an analysis of individual specificity and defines the theoretical framework of an analysis of literary creations whose purpose is to look at events that have mattered to the author in order to understand his creations. The second part is devoted to the analysis of the structural principles of familial, friendly, educational and professional socialization of Zola that explain his need to write and which precedes and accompanies his immersion in the literary field. The third part of this work intends to describe the concrete mode of commitments in the literary field. That implies taking into account the way he manages his career. Looking for profits, including every activity likely to generate money, Zola is at the same time deeply invested in a struggle for recognition of legitimacy with its peers. The fourth part brings together the structuring features of Zola’s biography and the analysis of the schemes that structure his novels. We study the recurring themes of Zola’s novels, the different types of staging, the social properties of characters by striving to put into relief the way these figures express social experience of the writer

Full textThe purpose of this research work is to study the political and legal thought of Zola in Son Excellence Eugène Rougon and to understand to what extent the author can be considered as a historian of law.This sixth novel of the cycle Les Rougon Macquart, hardly seems to have been studied that from a literary or purely historic point of view. Yet, by opening for the first time this novel, the jurist is surprised hearing the writer to speak to him so well notions and institutions which he knows. He notices while the naturalistic literature of the writer makes relive with a big perspicacity the Second Empire, fundamental time in the history of institutions, administrative law and public liberties.The novelist so reconstitutes under the eyes two trials in front of the Council of State, at the very moment when the « recours pour excès de pouvoir » is growing and the « ministre juge » theory, in decline. Also, about thirty years before the works of Moisei Ostrogorski, the Rougon’s« bande » appears, as a « political party » before the term existed and allows Zola - in the course of its descriptions - to show its fine qualities of political analyst.As for the public liberties (the freedom of the media in particular), they will not escape the acerbic criticism of a republican writer.These criticisms - which let for a long time think that Zola was the privileged author of the « légende noire du Second Empire » - are in reality, more subtle than it countered there.The clear-sightedness of the man of letters allows so more than ever to light the man of right avid to understand its own univers

Full textMyth, an essential element in zola's world, is well known to specialists; on the contrary, the study of landscape is usually neglected, or intepreted only from the stand point of relationship between literature and the history of art (zola as an impressionnist or an expressionnist artist). Following on the writer's declarations about the irruption of nature in his work, we first noticed, in the early writings and in the contes et nouvelles, under the title of loci zoliani, some archetypes (sea and sea shores, country sides, gardens, etc), associating feminine and masculine images, affectivity processes, feelings of happiness or anxiety. Then, in a second part entitled microcosmes, we tried to study in detail a more limited corpus, vomposed of seven literary landscapes, of which the characteristics would be, on the representational level, enclosure, intense role of vegetation, complex design, and itinerary of the characters; and which, on the symbolic level, would constitute prohibitive areas, where those crossing them are separated from each other by society, religion, incest taboo, ordeath. After having analysed topology and signification of space in the inconscious, we have finally organized our conclusions around four themes: constitution of space, progression through space, symbolism of space, and role of space, not only as an "actant" and as a place of mythical resolution of conflicts, but also as a means of catharsis for the writer

Full textAs a matter of fact, he compared the decadent society of the turn of the 20th century with the ideal city planned in the future. Against depolluation largely caused by the application of mal hus'theory, he advocated scientific agriculture, a regulating factor of population increase. He opposed to the exploitation of the workers by the possessing class a reorganization of work based on the association of capital, intelligence and working, adopting thus fourierism; collectivism, anarchism look inhumane to him; but in order to grant total freedom from secular and ecclesiastical authority to society symbolized by woman, society should have access to education, to wide education. Eventually, Zola is wishing to apply his scheme for happiness and peace to the whole humanity, hence the international understanding set up at the end of the gospels, thanks to the balance of terror, but also to morals in whose name he intervened in Dreyfus'case

Full textThe myth and the mythical are the first means of representing and perceiving the real, of overcoming the dilemmas which man postulates. In spite of the mimetics, documentative and scientistic will which permeates emile zola's naturalism, his narrative work is suject to the demands of the myth and the mythical, the existence of which can facilitate the emotional involvement of readers whose culture and historicity removed the time of the work's poetic genesis. The fundamental mythical underpinning by zola, who professed the "effect of the real", is apparent first of all through his recourse to the myth of heaven which is manifestly set out in "la faute de l'abbe mouret". Using the methodology of the imaginary estabished by gilbert durand, as a basis, we have been able to note how the mythical figure of heaven is incorporated not only into the novel mentioned above, but also how it constitutes, latently, an imaginary geography in zola's work as a whole. It is through a comparison of texts written at different times that the recurrent theme of heaven has emerged, relating to the mystical regime which itself emphasizes unity and cohesion of the elements, amassing schemata of integration, of concentration and of compatibility. But heavenly pathos stems from the realization of man's fallen state. With zola, therefore, in contrast to the themes of heaven, there looms the catamorphic universe whose expression through myth transforms the scientific nature of hereditary determinism into the fatum of the ancients, and raises the historical framework of the rougon-macquart to the rank of cosmogony. But the poetics of heaven plays down the dichotomic relations of the networks of the image that governs the world of the fallen and at the same time prepares the regime of combined images, by way of symbols which the very topology of heaven suggests : flora, the earth, the tree. Thus zola's imaginative world of the myth of heaven depicts the sometimes confrontational, sometimes mystical, sometimes even disseminative clash with real

Full textZolas La Terre,(1887) causes an uproar in France and triggers a series of violent attacks against its author and Naturalism, the literary school he represented. The novel, part of the Rougon-Macquart saga, focuses not only on country life and peasants but addresses also the loaded social issues shaking rural France at the end of the 19th century. Published in episodes, the novel is the object of fierce criticism, epitomized by Le Manifeste des Cinq, a heavy invective against the novel and its author, who is accused of inexcusable obscenity. Major critics such as Anatole France and Brunetière also highlight the moral dimension in their censure, and most French critics denounce La Terre as proof that literary Naturalism was dead. In Brazil, however, Zolas prestige and that of Naturalism are on the rise, as they seem apt to help foster a national literature finally rid of Portuguese models. Romero, Veríssimo e Araripe Jr. repeatedly refer to Zola when discussing their projects for Brazilian literature. Araripe Jr., who had for a moment detached himself from Zola due to what he saw as the authors objectionable pessimism, finds in La Terre a good opportunity to reconcile himself with Zolas works. The present dissertation discusses these different responses to the novel, in France and in Brazil, focusing on the way Araripe Jr. makes the novel a powerful argument to buttress his views on the ideal path for Brazilian literature.

Full textMemories of aix in zola's novels are even more impressive than one previously thought. That is what a systematical study, usine new documents, emphasizes. Our knowledge of the writer's early years of youth is thus enhanced and modified. Parallel to the study, a script is produced for a creative documentary film, based precisely on the relations between the real background and the fictitious one. The way of producing text material, as the research indicates, appears to be related to the "roman familial" pattern, figures are born from amalgams, free associations, before they are organized into narrative functionality. Certain effects of montage can be compared to what lev koulechov called "creative geography". The film script finds inspiration in the results of historical and critical investigations, without being made didactical. It is made from a choice of episodes featuring the writer as well as his characters, in the contemporary scene of aix as well as in obviously artificial sets. A take-off of television litterature programs suggests what a "fictional criticism" could be. The study concludes by considerations and proposals about the figuration process in the "aixois" novels and in the whole series

Full textIn the 1870’s, Émile Zola enjoyed exceptional popularity in Russia, counting among the most read foreign authors. In the context of this thesis, we propose to write the precise story of this extraordinary Franco-Russian encounter, relying on mostly unpublished documents in French.In the first part of this study, we see that Zola was in an awkward situation when he made Ivan Turgenev’s acquaintance in 1872. The Russian writer offered his aid, promising to find a commitment for him in Russia. He negotiated to this end with the director of one of the leading liberal reviews of Saint-Petersburg, Mihail Stasulevič. In 1875, in view of the first Russian critical appreciations which were very favourable to the French writer, Stasulevič was persuaded to recruit Zola in "Вестник Европы" [The Herald of Europe], as Parisian correspondent. Anna Engelhardt, who was one of the first Russian critics to focus on Zola, played a key role in his triumph by becoming his official translator at the Herald of Europe.In the second part, we analyze the correspondence exchanged between Zola, Turgenev and Stasulevič for nearly ten years, which we have entirely reconstituted and translated into French, to establish the detailed story of Emile Zola’s collaboration to the Herald of Europe. The sixty four texts which Zola composed for the Russian readership, the Parisian Letters, are presented chronologically, punctuating our reading of the tripartite correspondence. Regularly, the Russian critical appreciations ventured in response to Zola’s publications come to enrich our reflection.This approach allows us to estimate objectively which was the reception of Emile Zola's work in Russia at this time
