Faye, El Hadji Momar. "L' épistolaire dans l'œuvre de Crébillon fils." Montpellier 3, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004MON30063.
Full textEven within epistolary novels, he characterises himself by a continuous experimentation: which is established by an psychological analysis of his letter writers. The narrator, most of epistolary type in an feminine writing, becomes aware of her love story at the moment of her writing. Her life changes all through the narration. According to Crébillon’s process, his aesthetic borders the general technique of letter novels with however some remarkable differences: the first one belongs to Lettres de la Duchesse (1768) in which an enunciation, which is not immediate but a retrospection of a passion wished and dodged, is used from the beginning. The second one comes from the Lettres athéniennes (1771) in which Crébillon reencounter a historical truth. He elaborated a space-time change, the ancient truth is transposed to the eighteenth century. Hence, he creates a gap between the moment the moment of the acts and the instant in which it has been written. Only the Lettres de la Marquise (1732) presents the simultaneity between the writing of the letters and the heroine’s passion progress, a concomitance between the transcription and the romantic plot

Full textThis thesis on women's friendship such it could be lived at the XVIIIth century in its connection with epistolary writing practice. It proposes to consider the women of the Enlightenment, for those at least for which we still do have written works, like users and actors of the written culture, in this case through their use of the friendship notion in their relations practices and their construction of cultural identity, their appropriation of the memoria of "learned friendship", their romantic writtings bringing into play the women's friendship correspondence and their epistolary exchanges within a long time friendship. Thus this memoria, in our work, establish a central concept for the friendship study as a common inheritance set up by well-read men but where others could have come to draw

Full textThe dissertation, which can be situated in the comparative studies section, aims at demonstrating to what degree Polish epistolary novel, drawing from French inspirations, represents the distinctive features of Polish speech and culture. The study refers to the question of writing and language analysed on two narrative levels, the author's discourse and the protagonist's discourse. First part of this study specifies the key terms regarding letter theory and demonstrates development and classification of epistolary novel. The second part deals with such para-textual elements as titles and forewords which exemplify similarities and differences between French and Polish cultures. The third part's main focus is the letter with particular emphasis on the situation in which the writer presents the moment of writing (writing abort writing) which results in the emergence of meta-language (métalangage). Subsequently, drawing from M. Głowiński's theory (formal mimetism) the study explores the relationship between fictitious letter writers and the rules of epistolary art. As well as it analyses two basic letter types: love letter and a letter to a friend

Full textIn the eighteenth century, friendship possesses a vaster defining spectrum and this is extended when we study this feeling in Voltaire’s and D’Alembert letters. Their long lasting relationship of more than thirty years remains indestructible despite the difference of generation between them. They knew how to overtake the disparities that separated them, the disputes, and the multiple manners with somewhat and nevertheless, happiness. But it is precisely through the relational pitfalls and obstacles that the friendship had been tested, its value is revealed, its particular brilliance too. Our approach consisted in returning as much as possible to the relational levers and –through the suspension of the link- the friendship attachment. These suspensions have several characteristics and consequently if censorship holds a big part, the diverse literary quarrels and the philosophical dissensions as well as politically-religious take over our correspondence. Their guiles to supplant the common enemies were able to distract them from their tensions and conquer their public. A rivalry of influence developed their relationship one to another and their mutual feelings. Finally, it is the polemical object symbolized by the letter and the book in a broad sense, the circumstances or the role of companies that moved their friendship feelings

Full textCette thèse s’inscrit dans la mouvance des travaux qui visent à renouveler l’histoire littéraire (Thérenty, Vaillant, Pinson, Cambron) en tenant compte des enjeux de l’histoire culturelle, dont celui des représentations (Corbin, Kalifa). Elle met en valeur un corpus de 300 lettres écrites par des Bas-Canadiennes liées au mouvement patriote entre 1830 et 1840 et a pour objectif de montrer que la pratique épistolaire des femmes de la première moitié du XIXe siècle n’évolue pas en circuit fermé, mais s’avère perméable à l’actualité et au discours médiatique. Tout en révélant les conditions matérielles, les codes et les relations sociales qui régulent la forme épistolaire, cette étude cherche à faire état des mutations que subissent les usages de la lettre féminine au contact des événements insurrectionnels. Privilégier une lecture culturelle de la décennie 1830-1840 à travers le prisme des correspondances féminines permet d’observer la période insurrectionnelle du point de vue des opportunités qu’elle offre aux femmes. Cette perspective incite à examiner les lettres qu’elles ont écrites, mais aussi à se pencher sur les autres pratiques de sociabilité, dont le salon, de même que sur les pratiques de lecture, principalement celle du journal, qui est accessible aussi bien aux femmes de la bourgeoisie qu’à celles issues de milieux plus modestes. L’étude croisée des lettres et de la presse rend compte des interférences et de la complémentarité entre la correspondance et la culture médiatique au cœur du XIXe siècle, et témoigne d’une politisation progressive des usages et des pratiques culturelles. En plein siècle romantique, l’enchevêtrement entre le politique et le personnel bouleverse les frontières entre le privé et le public et entraîne des tensions dans l’écriture épistolaire, notamment dans la représentation du sujet féminin, mais aussi entre une pratique plus ouverte à une sensibilité de nature romantique et un cadre normatif fondé sur l’idéal classique. C’est pourquoi cette thèse allie les méthodes de l’histoire littéraire et la notion d’autoreprésentation empruntée à l’analyse du discours (Maingueneau, Amossy) pour évaluer dans quelle mesure les femmes s’approprient les représentations culturelles en vigueur pour être entendues, tout en étant fidèles à elles-mêmes et aux possibles de l’époque.

Full textThe present thesis stems from and further develops one part of a joint ministerial project entitled "The quality of Language Commonly Used by the French Public Service Administration. ", a project in which we took part in 2001-2002. Our research team compiled a Practical Guide to Public Service Writing, based on three distinct data corpuses: letters sent by the Public Service, recordings of receiver interpretations when reading this correspondence, and recording of round table discussions with the writers themselves. These corpuses represent the link between the aforementioned project and our thesis, the presentation of wich follows the chronological order of our work. Therefore, the first part of this study presents a summery of the joint ministerial project and specifies several theoretical points of reference upon wich our research team's data analyses were based. Criticism of a theoretical nature subsequently emerged, orienting additional analyses. Secondly, we attempt to situate the written communication (letters) between the Public Service and its users in a theoretical interdisciplinary framework, involving sociology, linguistics, and psychology. The third part of our thesis brings together three additional analyses of the corpuses. We consider that each discourse (that of the sender, that of the texts themselves, and that of the receiver) provides us with information on how the Public Administration and those using its services relate to one another. - In the letters, our analysis of the 'predominant' discourse describes the conventions and the articulation characteristic of 'statutory' writing, followed by a textual analysis of the various types of discourse. - Our analysis of 'user feedback' corpus reveals certain processes of reconstructing meaning wich allow us to identify and delineate different patterns of interpretation. - The analysis of the 'writer feedback' corpus informs us more specifically about the social representations of Public Administration writers

Full textIn western societies, writing imposes its order not only on knowledge, memory and social institutions, but also on the relationships between such fields and the individual. The occasional writer is someone who knows the basic techniques for using the written code, but who only enters into the dense network formed by written texts when obliged to do so by a specific set of circumstances. An exchange of correspondence, which is one particular form of written interaction with its own particular characteristics, provides a very interesting angle from which the observer can study the texts produced by occasional writers. Such writers construct a text-object, the objectification of a discursive and pragmatic process consisting of a triggering mechanism, which justifies the existence of the letter, and a discourse aim which justifies the communicative act. The writer reconstructs reality within the framework of the text, and it is precisely this textual construal of reality, rather than any fundamental inability to understand order as such, which gives rise to problems of coherence

Full textLong fictions composed of one uninterrupted letter – monologic epistolary fictions – are underrepresented in critical discourse, and frequently shunted more or less overtly beyond its margins. Their existence is brought to light here by one play and fourteen novels in French, English, Italian and German, ranging from 1902 (Gide) to 2011 (Norman) via a cast of authors including Yourcenar, Coetzee, Amis and Celestini.This study aims firstly to fill the critical lacuna, establishing the dimensions of this new sub- genre. It measures the breadth of the formal definitions of the single-letter epistolary novel, the length of its inscription in literary history, and the depth conferred upon it by critical discourse about real letters, the letter-novel genre and a certain epistolary quality to be found in all literature, which our novels set themselves up to reflect and refract.Our rather disparate corpus of texts reveals the interest of this technical framework, haunted as it is by recurrent themes which illuminate the characteristics of monological epistolary writing. Firstly, the theme of one's own death (Yourcenar, Coetzee, Bernstein, Robinson, Amis) shines a light on the physical structure of any text, rendered visible in the format of the letter; this conjunction suggests the idea of the text as corpse. A series of apocalyptic universes complicates this rather empirical portrait, which reads like the symbol of the Death of the Author; novels by Coetzee, Amis and Auster use complex portraits of fictional time to suggest the possibility of coincidence, overlap, meetings both epistolary and literary. These two chapters set up the terms of a final debate concerning literary communication, investigated via the symbol of the double (Gide, Coeztee, Bernstein, Celestini). After the narrative of the text itself and the implied drama of the letter's trajectory, a pragmatic dimension comes to light. This final analysis allows us to investigate the ethics of correspondence, and the letter as one key to understanding those of fiction itself

Full textLucrezia Gonzaga da Gazzuolo’s (1524-1576) Lettere, first published in 1552 in Venice and reprinted in 2009 only, constitutes a rich epistolary corpus that remains relatively untouched, not having been studied systematically yet.The few academic studies that introduced us to this volume of letters made apparent the need for an extensive analysis of it, with a focus on its intertextuality. Our work reveals the constant, if many-faceted, intellectual presence of Lucrezia’s unofficial editor: the polygraph Ortensio Lando. His editorial decisions capitalize on Lucrezia’s exemplarity, given her misfortunes and active daily life, and on the growing importance of women authors in the cultural industry and, in turn, of women readers.Suspicions of a not-so-straightforward authorship prompted us to center our reflection on the tight relation of interdependence between the gentlewoman and the writer. Our study sheds light on the formal and thematic influence of the irreverent polygraph’s ‘irregular’ writing style on Lucrezia’s letters. This leads us to uncover the full scope of a tortuous publishing project, conceived and orchestrated by Lando, aiming crucially at propagating a new strain of spiritual dissidence, inspired by Erasmus’s Philosophia Christi. Such dissemination, in face of rising religious tensions, would rely on the overwhelming demand for ‘letterbooks’, and take the form, among others, of a complex and reformist proselytism. The letters are thus part of an intricate literary universe ranging from the writings of Lando published between 1550 and 1554 to Erasmus’s much-maligned Enchiridion militis christiani. During a time of increased inquisitorial control and interventions, epistolography become a discrete means of heterodox religious propaganda. The collection of letters also opens up a promising field of investigations and research on the letter: first as a tool to broadcast modern ideas as well as the socio-cultural claims of learned women, but also as a crux for meta-literary issues such as authority, authenticity and auctoriality, and finally a springboard for reflecting on the editorial possibilities and limitations acting upon the literary consecration of women

Full textConfronted with a hard dilemma around the year 1660, the novel tries to escape this crisis by diversifying its techniques. One of these is the epistolary novel. The analysis deals with the methods of the novelistic illusion, trying to explain how the meeting of the letter and the novel leads to a special communicating structure between the sender and the recipient, and implicates narratives choices. The orientation of the letter towards a special recipient, himself requested by the text, allows to propose a typology of the epistolary novel based on the transmitter voices variations and the sender's part. The typology leads to ask questions about the limits of the epistolary novel and the special part of the letter in the narration. The epistolary novel appears in those years as a double text. Letters are never published by themselves but completed by a copious peritext, with the aim of making people believe that it is a true correspondence. Using of the first personb, of the correspondence as a significant way of writing, using of a publication coupled with a parasite voice, epistolary novel invites to analyze the pragmatic effects of these novelistic techniques on the narratee, part of the. .

Full textThis work is a pluri- and interdisciplinary approach to epistolary phenomena in movies from 1940 to today. Since its earliest days, cinema has integrated the letter motif and depicted the epistolary process. As talking movies emerged, letters became genuine audiovisual objects cherished by film-makers.They have continued to use this motif by inventing ever new expressive terms. On the one hand, cinema allows us to see and hear the characteristics of epistolarity; on the other hand, the letter motif establishes particular aesthetics while influencing the discourse and meaning of the movie. As a medium, the letter motif generates specific writing, reading and delivering processes. It also develops a network of visible and audible addresses, which fuels a particular relationship with the spectator. These phenomena contaminate the movie on a symbolic level as the materiality and address of the letter stand for more than their primary signification. The letter motif thus leads us to think about complex interconnections involving its representation, discourse and meaning in movies

Full textThe "Correspondence" of Sévigné is mainly read today through the model of the loveletter, as an exchange of intimate feelings between a mother and her daughter. If critics were numerous to underline the narrative talent of the "spiritual marchioness", there is not yet any overall study on Sévigné's daily stories. To fill this gap, this thesis re-installs this correspondence within the various forms of news practiced at the time, in order to analyse the aspects of the factual account in epistolary communication. The first part establishes the map of news exchange within Sévigné's social sphere and studies the circulation of information, the relationships between writing and orality, print and manuscript, rumors and fact-checking. News is found, selected and shaped depending on Sévigné's intended epistolary uses. The second part sets out to build a typology of the relationships between letter and narrative and examines the formal guidelines Sévigné resorts to for the framing of events (fait divers, relation, chronique, fiction, etc. ). Through the close reading of Sévigné letters, compared with other versions recouting the same event, we explore the narrative and hermeneutic gestures which govern the construction of a plot. Far from limiting itself to a monographic horizon, this thesis about the narrative of current events in Sévigné's "Correspondence" intends to contribute to the history of news stories writing

Full textThis research examines the letters of Paul of Tarsus, as preserved in the New Testament within the context of letter writing of that time, principally Judean ones. The initial examination questions both the potential of sources such as letters to provide information about an era, and the specific pragmatic potential of the epistolary medium as a means of inducing change in its recipients. As such, the letters of Paul were written not to conserve the historical realities or truths of the past, but to communicate efficiently with diverse circles and various recipients. The two-part examination is used to gain a perspective on the practices of the time, which may have been used as models for epistolary writing. The letter addressing the Judean Diasporas exiles inserted into the narrative of the Book of Jeremy (chapter 29) is such a model, providing a means of communicating over distance and time among the different groups. The epistolary practice of Paul himself is then examined. In particular, his Second letter to Corinthians (chapters 10-13), written in a moment of intense self-examination as his apostolic authority was questioned, is a good example of the pragmatic potential that Paul recognised in the epistolary medium, particularly in light of the prophet Jeremy. Finally, the beginnings of the apostle Paul’s epistolary writing and it’s reception are explored, showing how his credibility as an apostolic authority was quickly and easily recognised as being of the same quality as those of the prophet writers of ancient Israel

Full textDuring his lifetime, Romain Rolland (1866-1944) was considered to be a guide for humanity, a moral reference. The French writer wanted to put the Spirit at the service of the cause of mankind in order to enlighten it during its long and difficult progress. His thought embraced several continents, several sources of civilization with a single question at its center: how to lead humanity from its primitive prison, the source of so many evils of man here on earth. The goal of this thesis is to seek and study the forms of this humanism in the epistolary work of Romain Rolland. Is it possible to trace this ideal in his abundant correspondence ? His relationship with personalities as emblematic as Gandhi, Gorki, Tagore or Zweig - to mention but those who are most well known - opens to the scholar vast areas of investigation. Rolland's approach conforms to the continuity of those searchers for the absolute, in whose thought the physical world about us is, however, not a separate entity. Everything around Rolland supported his task, this mission that he had proposed in his youth and which assumed concrete expression in his literary works. His message was imbued with the spirit of modernity, but then why did it sink into oblivion a few generations later ?

Full textOur work has the aim to describe the process of interaction in the eighteenth century epistolary through the study of three examples of epistolary dialogues, namely: Voltaire ---- Madame du Deffand, Rousseau and Malesherbes ---- finally Benjamin Constant ---- Isabelle de Charrière. We understand the interaction epistolary the back-and-forth between the two parties, their mutual influence, their trade roles. The main question thatarises here is: what is the interest for the two parties, this epistolary exchange in the long term? For what purpose is the two letter writers they write to each other? How epistolary dialogue can it change the image of the other, the structure and the moral?The eighteenth century saw a proliferation epistolary actually thanks to the development of philosophicalthought and the Enlightenment. It tasted like the epistolary exchange that affects all areas of life, especially among friends. So many businesses are built correspondence, some of which develop into networks. For Voltaire and Madame Du Deffand their epistolary follows a binary rhythm, usually smooth, but sometimes"syncopated" as a philosophical dialogue dazzling until the disappearance of Voltaire. In this dialogue, w ediscover the days many ideas and themes that inform us about a time excellently.

If Constant likes to describe Isabelle de Charrière the circumstances of his life in a subsidiary, an interest, a passion sustained emerges in this correspondence

Full textThis thesis consists in a comparative study : its purpose is to present results and show how the epistolary novel developed at the beginning of the XIXth century in three European countries : France, Germany and England. In the course of her study, the author of this survey endeavored to raise a certain number of questions and bring out answers to these questions. In the first part, after a short historical outline, she made an inventory and examined the alleged disappearance of that type of novel. In the second pat, she wondered under which forms the epistolary novel had survived and whether a new definition of the genre was made necessary. At the same time, she laid stress on the limits, paradoxes and narrative options at stake. Finally, in the third part, the author's aim was to analyze the continuity of the genre as well as to study why it is so modern. Thus, she delineated the themes tackled in the epistolary novels; she studied now these themes adjusted to the new forms of the novel, such as the historical novel and the private diary. She also defined the part they played in the emergence of new modes of writing such as the monologue. The epistolary novel is a genre which has kept changing and moving. It evolved thanks to its multifarious Romanesque forms. The XIXth century novelists succeeded in the epistolary novel. It is much later, at the beginning of the century that this mode of writing would be operated by writers, as a literary technique in itself. Even if it is impossible to ignore the fact that the epistolary novel wasn't equally successful in France and England in the one hand, and in Germany on the other hand, it can't be denied that it lived through the whole romantic period and that this very ability to resist enabled the genre to live to this day

Full textA valuable source of information on the author of The Lives of the Artists, the correspondence of Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) is well known to art historians, mainly since its almost complete edition published by Karl Frey (1923-1930). If we consider the fact that Vasari zealously kept his numerous letters during his whole life, as well as the remarkable stylistic quality of many of these texts, we realise the importance of inquiring into how significant his epistolary writing could have been to him. Did Vasari see his missives as an essential part of his cultural legacy? In this case, it has to be questioned whether the artist could have ever conceived the project of publishing a selection of his letters, in accordance with a widespread practice among literates in the Fifteenth century. A collection of Vasari’s letters was actually gathered and still stands out from the large number of documents of his vast carteggio: it’s the manuscript Riccardiano 2354, held by the Biblioteca Riccardiana in Florence. Dating from the late Fifteenth century, this small codex contains forty-eight letters posthumously copied by the artist’s nephew and principal heir of his estate, Giorgio Vasari the Younger (1562-1625), an official of the Medicean Court deeply versed in several scientific and technical disciplines. This study investigates the process of selection, transcription and possible manipulation conducted by Vasari the Younger on his uncle’s original epistolary sources, which are nowadays still missing. Several material or textual hints can suggest that the Riccardiana’s volume might have been a “libro di lettere”, a book of letters designed for publication, but finally never printed. The chief aim of this editorial effort would have been a posthumous celebration of Vasari’s life and artistic achievements, through the highlighting of his missives. The comparison between the texts included in the Riccardiana’s manuscript and other excluded letters, allows us to recognise, as the essential mainstay in Giorgio the Younger’s work, the design of a biographical depiction of Vasari’s figure, focusing on specific traits and omitting others. The artist’s epistolary legacy seems to be occasionally subject to his nephew’s personal career requirements in the Medicean context of his time. The result of this research is a series of considerations on the dynamics inherent in Vasari’s epistolary writing, such as the various functions that it could assume according to the different phases of the artist’s career. Epistolarity has been Vasari’s main tool for self-fashioning towards his correspondents; as well as for literary learning and for the conception of the device of ekphrasis, developed on a larger scale in the Lives

Full textThe " avis privé " during the Age of Enlightenment. The endeavor of this research is to define the characteristics of a genus called " avis privés " within the pedagogical and moral literature. It was a traditional feature of aristocratic education to write down the moral code for a family member, concerning the behaviour in high circles. In principle it was only composed for the family, but nevertheless printed. The bibliographic repertoire of the " avis privés " reveals a long history about six centuries. From 1493 until 1996, there are numerous titles and authors. This thesis deals with a period of time from 1699 until 1794, the age of Fénelon up to Condorcet. The genesis of the " avis privés " shows that there was a strong influence from the " Prince Mirrors " and the " courtly guides ", which were inspired by ancient literature. Throughout history, the " avis privés " reflects all important social discussions within the society, including religion, feminism and politics. The " avis privés " is a moral chronicle of this period containing the ideas of honesty and social behaviour. Another effect of the " avis privé " is the emergence of a problem dealing with the justification of writing. Why write and for whom ? In the beginning the reason was simply education and amusement, but soon, through the genus of " avis privé ", it became a mean to express one's own thoughts, to obtain a kind of liberation. The " avis privé " opened a way to write discreetly about oneself, so that this genus is parent to the autobiographical literature

Full textIn addition to his cinematographic activities, Jean Renoir was a very prolific and versatile writer, havingauthored several novels and plays, as well as many articles and autobiographical texts. To this collection ofwritings one can add his correspondence, which developed during Renoir's exile in the United States duringWorld War II. This correspondence is readily used as a documentary resource that helps to shed light on the lifeand career of the filmmaker, but seldom has it been considered in its own right. It is essential to consider a letternot only as a document but as a discourse, a text. If on the one hand Renoir's letters reveal information aboutthe making of certain films, the rhetoric at work could help reinterpret the history of cinematographic genesis.What is at stake in this correspondence turns out to be less genetic than autobiographical. Renoir uses letters torelate the identity upheaval born out of a situation of exile and to demonstrate his artistic identity. In doing sohe shatters the myth of the Author, created in the fifties and to which he had himself publicly contributed. Onan epistolary level, Renoir sees himself as an honest man, in the way it was understood in the classical period.He uses letters as a way to prove his sociability through the mastery of the art of pleasing. His desire to pleaseincites him to experiment with stances likely to generate his correspondent's assent. Before using letters as abiographical resource, the reader must put back into perspective this rhetoric of the honest man according toRenoir

Full textThe purpose of this work is to provide a study on some aspects of ovid's intertextual poetic in the heroides, particularly letters 5, 13 and 9. The chief points are : 1) the role of imiitatio, aemulatio and parody in respect to propertius. 2) the play with mythical patterns in order to characterize each heroine 3) the play with mythography and homeric scholarship (e. G. Such problems as theseus'rape of helen, the identity of protesilaus'murderer, paris' journey from sparta to troy) 4) the insertion of the letters within a mythical framework in order to provide dramatic irony. This kind of poetic requires great literary competence from the public. A new theory is offered about epistolary fiction in heroide 9 which is supposed to be written during sophocles' trachiniae. It sets out the following points : the supposed time of the writing, the mock-heroic catalogue of heracles' feats in connection with the sophocilean sublime aretalogy, the two addressees, heracles and hyllos, which is supposed to read the letter after d's death. The question of the addressee seems to be the key of the epistolary fiction in the first heroides. The epistolary fiction is also used as adoxography : the letters are concelived as pseudo-testimonia in order to play with mythical and literary tradition. At last, a new interpreation of letters 5, 16 and 17 atempts to emphazize the narrative continuum provided by those three heroides. Lt prefigures the narrative structure of epistolary novels

Full textThis thesis deals with the pseudo-oriental epistolary novel and its place in the history of literature. The study of the reception of these different texts is important in the sense that it brings out a strategy of reading that lays emphasis on the irreligious value of these texts. From the second half of the seventeenth century the orient overstepped the exotic function to take part in an active manner, in the theologico-philosophical debate. The study of the paratext highlights the interpretative debate, makes of the author a reader of his our text, and coutners the irreligious interpretation with the novelistic verisimilitude. Before setting about the analysis of the characters, the analysis of their philosophical journey and situating the seraglio in the secret chain of the Lettres persanes, we were impelled to study the genesis of these texts and to see how the historical information, once, used in a novelistic context its meaning as well as its signification alter

Full textJules Barbey d’Aurevilly left a polymorphous work. In that respect, the years 1851-1865 were exemplary. Every week he wrote an article for Le Pays and sent a letter to his friend Trebutien. No other period saw so many Aurevillien tales published : the first short story of Les Diaboliques, Le Dessous de cartes d’une partie de whist, and novels : Une vieille maîtresse, L’Ensorcelée, Le Chevalier des Touches et Un prêtre marié. Though he had to deal with those pieces of writing at the same time, Barbey seemed to dissociate them. Critical writing, submitted to editorial conditions of newspapers resulted from emergency, censorship and “Necessity”. On the other hand, the letters gave him a chance to “roar”: they opened parentheses amongst the pressing “din” of the newspapers and the “furnace” of novel writing. The latter – through the power of Imagination – appeared nonetheless as the privileged place for authentic personal expression. However, can we grant a function to a letter, an article or a novel in such a categorical manner? Of course, letters offered Barbey space for spontaneity into which he entered hurriedly. They also gave food for thought on writing itself, and were used as a pattern for novel and critical writing. In the same way, critical writing improved fiction and refined esthetic choices. This polymorphism did not limit genres to a particular function or aesthetic choice but designed a global coherence in which each piece of writing influenced another to try and reach ‘the eloquence of the heart’. Indeed that was the ideal writing Barbey d’Aurevilly pursued from 1851 to 1865 and which created the aesthetic qualities of his prose

It demonstrates the genre ofletter writing during the Renaissance period, the education and culture of princes and princesses as weil as the materialconstraints which influenced the ability of writing their letters.The last two parts are devoted to the study of letters. The language used by the kings and queens depended on therelationship between them and their correspondents. This makes a distinction between letters to members of the publicand those intended for personal correspondence. Beyond this distinction, it is noticed thal the differences in styledepend also on the exercising (or not) of royal authority, as well as on the gender of the writer. The different genresused in writing are in no way "natural" but dictated by society in order to address specific requirements.From these works the following hypothesis can be made: the kings' and queens' practices of letter writing influencedthe theories of the period. Furtherrnore, this study confirms thal beyond the practice of a universal way of writing, themajority of kings and queens bad their own unique persona! style

Full textOur thesis laies interest on the "conversation" that is so called as done in the letter of the writer. How any "conversation" can be made in a piece of letter writter by one person? to answer this question, we choose salon de 1765, a work of letter style of diderot, as the subject of study. Though salon de 1765 is written by 'i' -addresser, from start to end, the figure of 'you' - addressee is pressed on the letter. 'i', already, at the moment, come to feel appearance, response of 'you', and hear the 'voice' of his partner. This inner 'voice' of 'you', sounding in the letter, has influence on the letter-writing of 'i'. 'you', the addressee, cannot be a passive destination where the letter is to be arrived. He comes under a participation into letter-writing by reading the letter. Like this, the meaning of salon de 1765 depends, at the same time, on two 'signify' of 'i' and 'you'. Salon de 1765 is made upon the hidden dialogue between 'i' and 'you'. In this point of view, the letter-salon de 1765 is the "conversation" between the writter-addresser and the potential readers-addressee, the "con- versation" made by writing and reading

Full textWas Paul of Tarsus the "father" of the Christian epistolary praxis? After inscribing his praxis in the epitolary framework of Antiquity and checking it against the rhetorical analysis widespread in the field of the Pauline studies, this Ph. D. Put first forward a model of his epistolary utterance built from a literary analysis of his letters, which rely on the enunciation theories. It compares subsequently Paul's letters to the pseudepigraphical epistles attributed to the apostle : it proves that Paul was not followed, even by his own successors. It relates finally the model to the other epistles of the New Testament and to the epistles of the Apostolic Fathers and concludes that the Pauline epistolary praxis was only a realization of the potentiality of the ancient letter and was in competition with other praxis : the continuation of the ancient praxis and another Christian praxis, the "memorial-letter"

Full textEasily available and well-known by both professionals and laymen, French philosopher Denis Diderot’s letters are highly regarded either for their literary quality, or their documentary value. Combining literary studies and historical analysis, the thesis proposes a hybrid approach for rereading Diderot’s entire active and passive correspondence. Flexibly drawing insights from network analysis and hermeneutics of the letter, the study makes, first and foremost, a rigorous inventory of Diderot’s epistolary exchanges. Secondly, I analyse their rhythm, stakes, as well as the social profiles of epistolers in order to propose a novel approach to visualize Diderot’s ego-networks. Attentive to issues of cultural and intellectual history, I explore the discourse of the writer in order to reconstruct not only the infrastructure of his relational space, but also his social experience as it is organized around intellectual labour, sociabilities, and power relations
Drelon, Nicolas. "Les influences cicéroniennes dans les Lettres de Pline le Jeune : imitation, normes et distances." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020MON30025.
Full textIn the collection of Letters, published at the beginning of the 2nd century AD., from a selection of « carefully written » texts, randomly taken in his personal correspondence, Pliny the Younger the notion of imitation is a recurring motif. In this book, Cicero is the most quoted author : his career as a speaker and the -no doubt posthumous- publication of his Correspondance represent prestigious exempla. In this thesis, we propose to analyze the place and the stakes of Ciceronian influences, in the Letters of Pliny. Our reflexion is based on the Plinian appropriation of theories of imitatio / aemulatio and on the place accorded to Cicero’s life and to his works, in the collective memory of the Roman elite. The Plinian conception of imitatio is relatively traditional, illustrating both Roman thought and practice, in several situations. It is first integrated into the process of training of the speaker. It is also a reproduction of behavior, particularly political, and a step in the development of a literary work. Above all, at the same it is also aemulatio, « rivalry » : an ambition and an attempt to equal and exceed the model. Pliny multiplies and interweaves the processes which arouse Ciceronian reminiscences in his reader : precise intertextuality, « pastiche », references and rewritings, same narrative situations. Imitatio and aemulatio cum Cicerone, in various situations, build a valued image of himself. In several letters, Pliny recounts various moments of his public speaking career and the cases in which he spoke. He reconstructs this career, awakening memories of Cicero. The texts of the Arpinate are a coherent normative set, which gives to the Plinian oratory action an ethical (conquest of gloria, defense of the common good, respect for officia, decorum), rhetoric (Pliny, as student of Quintilian, obeys Ciceronian doctrine) and pragmatic framework. Whatever the reality of the cases, the Letters illustrates the Ciceronian ideal : the Plinian orator is man who is engaged in the city, appreciated by scholars but, above all, able to have an effective speech. In private contexts, Pliny continues the imitatio / aemulatio cum Cicerone relationship : the otium litteratum, the composition of love-poems, the illness of a freedman, the writing of a consolation and the expression of suffering are situations in which Pliny appeals, more or less explicitly, to the memory of the Arpinate. We consider that the text is based on complicity between the author and the reader : Pliny plays to recreate Ciceronian situations and the reader is invited, in a playful way, to identify and interpret the marks of connections between the author and the Arpinate. Beyond a strategy of self-celebration or ethical justification, the imitatio cum Cicerone and Ciceronian influences are therefore akin to a playful process of literary creation

Full textAnchored in the field of discourse analysis, this dissertation studies a corpus of letters which were written by patients interned in pyschiatric institutions located in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. These letters were initially kept in the archives of the psychiatric institutions, but are now archived at the Collection de l’Art Brut, in Lausanne. Such an institutional transfer leads one to ponder on the current modalities of reception of these texts. To answer this question, a theory of language is needed. Enunciation theory (Benveniste) is particularly apt to analyse and to conceptualize language from the perspective of the interlocutor. Besides, enunciation theory opens to discursivity, enriching the corpus with a dialogical dimension which is here channelled around the theme of madness. The question which is then raised is the following : in which respect do the works of art brut exceed their status as clinical documents ? Coined by Gérard Dessons, the conceptual couple « manie » / « manière » allows one to conceptualize within language the shift of point of view which is required by the corpus. What is at stake, in broad outline, is to get rid of rhetorics to the benefit of a poetics of enunciation. The challenge is to quit thinking language on the basis of categories (such as genre, but also sign) which preexist texts and which are only able to capture variations on models (or worse, abnormalities, even symptoms) : one has to approach these texts according to the processes and, more globally and radically, according to the specific (and thus unnameable up until then – which is why they « drive one crazy ») modes of signification which they set up. This criticism of widely accepted conceptualities and this reversal of perspective form the epistemological knot of my dissertation
Clot, Cécile. "Kleist épistolier : le geste, l'objet, l'écriture." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040075.
Full textThe aim of this dissertation is twofold : to demonstrate the literary dimension of Kleist's letters and to determine their status within Kleist's works while examining the communicative aspects of his epistolary texts. Analyzing the communicative perspective inherent to epistolary texts indicates the way in which Kleist is revealing himself to his correspondents, and it creates an epistolary portrait of the poet. The particularity of an epistolary portrait is its contradictory and fragmented nature based on the incompleteness of epistolary works. The analysis of the ambivalence of Kleist's letters (an absence's discourse yet aspiring to immediacy) displays the coexistence of monologic and reflexive passages on the one hand, which are used by the writer as a way of forming his thoughts, and of a dialogic determination on the other hand on which the act of writing is based. The conscious forming of the image, the process of dramatisation of style, the reflective use of the word and of signs, the use of rhetoric figures, the intense observation, the transformation of reality into words are constituent components of a literary work. The purpose of the stylistict analysis of the study is to bring these aspects to light. But the singularity of this study lies in the careful examination of the epistolary object through the method of genetic critic, which proposes to analyze the manifestation of the elaborative process of writing within the manuscripts. In the poet's letters the unfolding of the enunciation is not restricted to the syntactic construction of the utterance, but also manifests itself in the addition of lines and signs - like the dash - which convey a metalingual level. On the borderline between semiotics and semantics, the study of the manuscripts reveals a fundamental field of investigation for Kleist's epistolary works and his writing

Full textThis dissertation means to explore the aesthetics of Woolf's epistolary writing. For Woolf, letters become a vast field, a free space for experimenting her original theories of writing, developing her unique techniques and perfecting her style of modern writing. They also provide a space for finding her authorial voice, position and self. Delving into the six volumes of Woolf's private letters, we first explore how they depict the author's daily life, its wealth and intensity. Through her exchanges with her numerous addressees, Woolf redefines the epistolary genre: apart from their informative function, letters offer artistic descriptions of life and people, which are composed by Woolf in a specific manner, often fuelled by various other arts—painting, cinema, music, or drama. Such a representation transforms the most private epistolary genre into a public, dialogical and inter-medial genre. Intimacy and self-protectiveness, together with a desire for self-exposure stimulate Woolf to develop a style of “central transparency”—her figurative or suggestive method that enables her to express emotion and represent herself
