Full textThe romantic aesthetics of René Philombe, subject of our research, through his threepost-colonialist works: Un sorcier blanc à Zangali, Sola ma chérie, and Bedi-Ngula, l’ancienmaquisard, is expressed by the environmental, morphosyntactical, lexicological and stylisticalaspects which form his cultural context from Cameroon and subsaharan Africa. That is thefirst part of our study leading us to the analysis of the aesthetics basis in which the poeticaltype, the expression and the style of the novelist take an important place. In the third part ,wehave been concerned by the contextual corpus or, moreover, the representation of RenéPhilombe’s romantic aesthetics in which the politics / ethics appear as the main message, notonly for Africa but also for the whole word

Full textHenri Lopes, from Congo Brazzaville, is one of the most fully rounded writers in the field of modern African literature. This research is concerned with an analysis of the way in which the ideology, which he has embraced, has permeated all his work, with the result that he expresses an ongoing, unequivocal opposition to part of his own society, while it is in the midst of mutating from its traditional origins to a form of Western modernity.
Absalyamova, Elina. "Paul Verlaine critique littéraire : aspects biographique, esthétique et discursif." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040152.
Full textVerlaine’s experience allows to question the phenomenon of writer criticism. The rationale and the formal qualities of the daily critical output of a poet acceding to celebrity are studied after an overview of the phenomenon’s definitions (introduction). The triple biographical, esthetic and discourse analysis reveals the tight bond between critical production context, theories used and form given to critical texts. Verlaine’s marginal position in the literary field predetermines his distrust of institutionalization mechanisms and oftheories justifying them resulting in low conceptualization as well as in contradictory and discouraging handling of existing notions. The particularities of self-representation (provocation, weak ethos) equally result from his position in the literary field and go along with abandoning prescriptive theories in the name of tolerance. The emphasis moves from the conceptual sphere to the discourse accentuating affectivity, expressivity and irony which bring it closer to poetical creativity but not so as to become prose poetry. This criticism does not loose its pragmatic turn inherent to literary communication, its efficiency being reinforcedby certain features of idiolect (play upon sounds, metaphors, segmentation of phrases), freed of their poetical value in the new context
Jittani, Sôichirô. "La pensée littéraire et artistique d’Émile Zola : une esthétique vitaliste." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2020. http://accesdistant.sorbonne-universite.fr/login?url=http://theses.paris-sorbonne.fr/2020SORUL038.pdf.
Full textThe present study was designed to highlight aesthetic thought of Zola in relation to vital energy. Behind his scientism doctrine—to which Zola, a theoretician is too often reduced—the novelist, from his youth, constantly reflected on creative genius. In order examine this side of his writing, we focused on his writings on art. In the 1860s, his formative years, realism declined and a post-realistic current emerged which seemed destined to surpass it. Realism, which was considered a form of materialism presenting “matter” without synthesizing it with the “mind”, was criticized for its supposed lack of creativity. In response, in his writings on Courbet and Manet, Zola proposed the idea of the work as produced not by the “mind”, but by “life”, arguing that the expression of the artist’s life animates all objects around him or her. While he adhered to realism’s endeavour that, by rejecting metaphysics and imagination, he lead art to matter, his theory of the productive notion of “life” went beyond realism, espousing the creativity of “matter”. This attempt echoed the history of aesthetics, which moved with Taine and Guyau—among others—towards the theorization of life as beauty in the positivist era. Through the prism of his belief in vitalism, as understood through the critical and philosophical discourse on art in his time, we offer a new way of reading Zola’s work which reveals his constant efforts to build a creative principle specific to the naturalist regime from his first novels to The Four Gospels
Faerber, Johan. "Esthétique baroque du nouveau roman." Paris 3, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA030039.
Full textFar from limiting itself to the XVIIth century, the Baroque in literature may be regarded as a heterochronic notion leading the New Novel. Contrary to the image of a fuzzy set gathering diverse writers, the esthetics of the new Baroque enables us to define these novelists as being a literary group with a homogeneous textual identity, and can be considered the very possibility for the New Novel to exist. The diachronic eras gather into a synchronic game which first settles a rhetoric of the otherness and claims an ontology of the nothingness as in the literature of the baroque era. The unravelled characters are compelled to wander in a space which represents the moving macrocosm ruled by a world being a stage. Through these mimetic issues, the trompe-l'oeil reign unfolds a misology of the fiction questionning the virtualities of assertion. Therefore, writing shivers in its core, judges itself in a double gesture that squares its power, and shows off, just as the baroque peacock does, a conspicuous overload. Eventually, the era of suspicion would go back to the baroque age
Le, Scanff Yvon. "Le paysage romantique et l'expérience du sublime : littérature, esthétique, métaphysique." Paris 4, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA040185.
Full textThe main subject of this doctoral thesis consists in the study of romantic landscapes in relation to the experience of the Sublime in nineteenth century French literature. The sublime landscape originates in an ancient and rhetoric tradition of the scene of horror which by the end of the eighteenth century has evolved into the concept of "Dark Sublime" with the preromantic and romantic rediscovery of certain essential literary and pictorial references influenced by a sensualist interpretation (Burke, Diderot) of the classical sublime arising from Boileau's translation of Longinus ' Treatise on the Sublime. Romanticism will use the sentiment of the sublime to reintroduce an organic conception to nature and the thinking subject in the framework of an objective and subjective idealism which establishes object and subject in an analogical relationship: the sublime is the instrument of this paradoxical harmony since it is revealed through a perpetually wrenching experience of the senses
Reich, Michèle. "Le comique de l'hybridation et l'exhibition du comique dans les formes dramatiques et paradramatiques contemporaines." Paris 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA030075.
Full textOur purpose is to study the comicality of hybridization and exhibition through the dramatic and paradramatic contemporaneous works. Our analytical investigations does not respect literal chronology. It will not be reduced to a period or some French or French speakers playwrights. First, we will study the comicality in question. Then we will try to focus on the poetics of laughter. The third part will deal with the principal forms of modern comicality. The fourth part defines hybridization in the grotesque comic style and the burlesque modalities of exhibition. The fifth one will focus on how hybridization and exhibition appear through the plays, how the spectator is confronted with the Actor as a Fool who makes him laugh hilariously. So will be drawn the major features of the mutations of the theatral contemporaneous comicality
Drillon, Jacques. "La loi formelle et son influence sur la création artistique et littéraire." Metz, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993METZ007L.
Full textThe law is what is given as a "weight of obligation" (Proust). What are its effects on creative act? Five distinct researches, after a general introduction about law as a concept, tend to answer the question. Punctuation is a ensemble of rules, laws and uses. This research make the distinction between these concepts, and shows, sign by sign, the effects on creation. By regarding two ways of transgressing musical laws, Liszt's transcriptions (who refuses to consider a work as an eternal thing), and the non-finished works by Schubert (who fights against the great form laws without beeing able to control them), wa can see that, in the first case, the work is fecundated; in the second one, that it takes a new value: Sometimes, non respect of law makes you richer than observance. The poet Charles of Orleans has observed, all his life, familial, social and poetic law. Familial law has drawn him to an eternal revenge; social law kept him in prison; poetic law made him living. The articles published by "le nouvel observateur" between 1980 and 1992, because they are a constant non respect of journalistic law, are inclosed
Marchand, Sophie. "Théâtre et pathétique au dix-huitième siècle : pour une esthétique de l'effet dramatique." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040111.
Full textThe taste for tears and the ethics of sensibility deeply influence the theatrical practice and theory of the Enlightenment. An original dramatic model elaborates itself from the efficiency of pathos considered as a sentimental adhesion. The analysis of theoretical texts allows a description of this homogenous and coherent system's constitutive elements. The disruptions induced in the dramatic thought by the pathetic expectations are considered first : the promotion of the effect to the rank of a decisive criterion of value, the change from a pœtics of beauty to an aesthetics of pleasure, the effects of the lacrymomania on the genres. Then, the examination of dramatic texts sheds light on the emergence of a rhetoric and a dramaturgy spécifique to the pathos. Finally, the beholder's viewpoint is analysed and the pathetic experience considered, in order to understand how the drama gets integrated into the philosophical system of the Enlightenmnent
Diouf, Abdourahmane. "Esthétique, politique et éthique : la création littéraire dans l’œuvre romanesque de John Steinbeck." Thesis, Le Mans, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LEMA3008.
Full textJohn Steinbeck’s works cannot be reduced to a strict aesthetic or ideological categorization. They are often studied at the crossroads of colourful styles that intermingle and clash, in order to grasp the substratum of the work behind its varieties. The challenge of this thesis is to study the link between aesthetics, politics and ethics, starting not from the writer's political positions but from the works themselves, in order to analyze the ways in which these notions can be dynamically and progressively highlighted as the work unfolds over four decades. Moving from the lyrical and picaresque novel to the social novel (particularly Tortilla Flat and the Dust Bowl Novels trilogy: In Dubious Battle, Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath), John Steinbeck makes it possible for a political critique to be constructed in his work based on a questioning of the linearity of narrative discourse. Like the form of the discourse, the narrative “content” conveys and develops a political vision that substitutes for the American Dream and its utopian “Melting Pot” a more realistic sociopolitical structure in which one perceives “two opposing classes”, by virtue of the system of capitalist domination. Steinbeck reworked the novel genre to develop a providential, humanist and anti-capitalist vision. By testing the notions of plot, protagonist (or “hero”) and temporality, he placed this political critique at the very heart of the writing process, inviting readers to take a fresh look at his more “political” works of the 1930s and 1950s, and at the links between modernism, political engagement and ecology. Although some of his works are radically contested, he has made constant use of the myth of origins. This recourse to the mythical thoughts of the founding American texts acts as a hyphen allowing him to deconstruct literarily the dominant political discourses of his society

Full textThe first objective of this work was to draw the main lines of an esthetic of the alchemical literature at the end of the French Renaissance. Literature that was essentially considered here in relation to a tradition. Tradition of a knowledge affected by the making of the books and their circulation. Tradition ideally represented and used in the treatises dedicated to the Art of Hermes. Tradition metamorphosed in the poems and novels where the alchemical writing leads itself out of its first purposes in order to communicate a symbolic experiment to be realized by the reader

Full textSince cameroonian novel in french began in cameroon in 1954, its works have proliferated and spread over the world but we do not have till today a study giving a global point of view on this important literature. This thesis tries to fulfill this emptiness. It is a descriptive table which shows the creating art from cameroonian novelists. This study applies an overall method based on comtemporary and african aesthetics's principles concerning the genesis, the art fiction and the themes of the novels. It shows that cameroonian novel is a national and humanistic literature
Mouret, Magali. "LʼIntime littéraire et photographique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040078.
Full textThis thesis presents a semantic notion of the intimate attempting to limit its scope. It explains how the meanings of theword "intimate" fluctuate throughout history, thereby moving the boundaries and challenging the opposition between thepublic and private spheres, between the individual and the collective, and between the personal and the universal. Thistheoretical development is intended to consider how the intimate is both the source and purpose of art. The works ofAnnie Ernaux and Chloe Delaume analyzed here can illustrate how the intimate shapes a literary text ; the works ofSophie Calle and Nan Goldin show the special relationship between the intimate, sometimes the text, and photography.The verbal and the iconic languages are examined to determine how the style of the work is imbued with the intimatesphere. Beyond the risk or provocation it entails, we see how the work intimate is deeply rooted in time with a specialrelationship with memory. It is also about showing how the intimate art is a struggle for existence, for being recognizedas art. The concepts of value and effect as part of a theory of reception, illuminate this debate. Finally, this thesis isinterested in discovering how the art of the intimate severs from former ethics to build a new one. The purpose of thisstudy is also to define the outline of an aesthetics of intimacy, rekindling issues of realism, beauty, and the sublime
Bernard, Laurent. "La Littérature cartographique, un défi à la totalité." Cergy-Pontoise, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005CERG0244.
Full textThis study proposes to confront the cartography with the literature in order to release a literature known as cartographic; I. E. A literature which does not merge with a géographical literature, but which is adapted, at the time of each stage of its speech, spécific codes and ambition of cartographic project which seeks to defy the world in its totality. This attemp at reconciliation, under consideration around a central corpus composed of Borges, Calvino, Perec, Stevenson and using regularly of parallels pictorial, determines in a first part the nature of the cartographic glance (point of view). This glance is carried out around an abandonment of the eye sensitive to profit of an the same time divine and theoretical bicephalous eye. A glance which involves this cartographic literature well off a logic representation for a logic of construction of which the foncations, approached in one second part, let foresee the way in which this literature uses to the statute of card image, between remote setting, framing, brevity and devices of projection. To these foundations succeeds the observation of the strategies installed by this writing, on the cartographic model, in order to achieve, in an effective way its challenge with totality, between disembodied structure, formal global nature related to the question of the genre and cumulative fullness. All of these strategies which are at the same time paradoxical and heterogeneous, come across the difficulties in this challenge. Also, in a last part we question the way in which the cartographic writing consecrates a quite specific reading, between reticularity and rhizomic verticality exempted by intertextuels devices end bilocation. This cartographic reading appealing to exteriority and diversity, for a totality-world open and with which the reader superimposes himself to become himself an individual-world

Full textA support is always necessary for the physical existence of an intellectual creation, because he allows his realization. Therefore the support should not be merged with the work of mind which it fulfils. Bodily good, it is the material used by the author to shape or broadcast its work of mind, its intangible good. It doesn’t much matter his existence and his nature, it does not influence the rules of right applicable to creation. It is neutral, based on the principle of independence of the ownership of work of mind and the support, the neutrality of the support guarantees the protection of all oeuvres of the mind, which they have or not a support. Beyond this juridical neutrality, a technical neutrality of the support is progressively instituted. Guarantee was brought in juridical neutrality; it means that support is functionally identical for copyright. Whatever is the mode of broadcasting of a work of mind, the right which is applicable to him the same stays? The principle of neutrality of the support therefore comes to guarantee juridical security. Copyright does not confer a monopoly, suchlike, on a particular type of support, paper for instance. This principle should not nevertheless be applied in a too strict way. Owing to the factual dependency of work of mind and support (for the communication of work of mind), the support sometimes influences the rules of right applicable to work of mind. Such interference is however justified only when the rule of right depends on the support and when the taking into account of the support come to guarantee the effectiveness of copyright
Weck, Céline. "La poétique de Sarah Kirsch : une esthétique du kaléidoscope." Strasbourg, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009STRA1028.
Full textThis study will analyse the work of the German poet Sarah Kirsch (born in 1935), in a kaleidoscope-kind of way, emphasizing the intertextual, intercultural and interdisciplinary approaches. Thus, the study offers a view as comprehensive as possible of all the aspects of Sarah Kirsch's artistic creation and enables the reader to (re)discover her work as an author of children's books or translator. The first part is methodological. As a starting point, it takes a certain number of notions, inherent to the collection of poems Allerlei-Rauh -which is placed at the center of the study - and which are applicable to Sarah Kirsch's entire work. The aim is to go deeper into the techniques of intertextuality and collage which are present throughout her work, and I will do this through the analysis of collections of poems, prose and journals. In order to be more objective, interdisciplinary approaches focusing on a microscopic vision will be used, to end with a macroscopic vision of her work. The second and third parts, respectively focused on the autobiographical writing and on the work of rewriting, are devoted to the collection Allerlei-Rauh. The concept of the kaleidoscope is used both as a tool for the analysis of this collection and as a methodological principle. By studying the crucial collection Allerlei-Rauh, the archetype of Sarah Kirsch's fragmentary writing, we can have a complete vision of her work : each fragment sends back to a signicant part of the edice, just like in a mirror. The fourth part of the study focuses on yet another aspect of her work, which can be described by this motto by the author : < Fahren und sehen und schreiben >. It will deal with apprehending writing in an open way by showing all of its components, especially interdisciplinary and intercultural ones : the obvious link between Sarah Kirsch's writing and Japanese short poetic forms, the role of travelling, the production of watercolours
Wiser, Antonin. "Utopie de la littérature. La question littéraire dans l’œuvre de Theodor W. Adorno." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040111.
Full textThis dissertation proposes to study the question of literature in the work of Adorno. It shows the utopian function which the philosopher attributes to literature as it draws the horizon of a "language without soil", a line of flight from the dialectic of reason. While philosophical discourse reproduces in its conceptual apparatus the mythical-rational violence against the non-identical singular, the language of literature seems able to indicate the possibility of reaching beyond the concept with the help of the concept, which is the utopian desire of negative dialectics. The challenge is not only epistemic: it is ethical-political as well, related to the possibility of establishing relations with others which are freed from the constraints of identity.In the literary works which he studies – those of Eichendorff, Hölderlin, Proust, Valery, Beckett or Kafka –, Adorno does however not seek a concrete figure of utopia, but rather traces of "what is our own and has been left blank" - both in these texts and in History. In those blanks, literature contains the « possible impossible » which haunts the present ; it is the picture without picture of Reconciliation (Versöhnung), a resource for both a radical critique of existence and for the desire of the other to come

Full textWhat's a literary theorist. Asking ourself is (at least) interrogating about his object and his competence. Answering this double interrogation is as making the crisis, the clue of the thesis. Object and specificity, that this concern the construction or the deconstruction of literary or literariness, competence and speciality, that this concern the appropriation or the disappropriation of poetics or social science pluridisciplinarily converted into a -indisciplinable- plural of indispensable disciplines, are analysed in the scope of a theory said "of the mediation" by Jean Gagnepain. The thesis hinges on a general hypothesis : there are some objects -like language, literary or literariness- which would not be the object of any science but the corporation provision of a service
Julliard, Catherine. "La réception des théories esthétiques françaises par le théâtre allemand de la Frühaufklarung." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040127.
Full textThe period to be studied, a domain that has been until now little explored, extends over the first decades of the eighteenth century and is characterized by different ruptures with the previous century, particularly with the formal and conceptual heritage of the second Silesian school. The psychological situation of the epoch is defined by the German consciousness of deficiencies in the dramatic and cultural sphere, increased by the reactions of foreigners who mock German literature. The specific German situation is the origin of the reception of French dramatic theories. The reception, or the passage from one cultural sphere to another, meets German expectations, and the borrowings play a cardinal part in the elaboration of a new dramatic theoretical edifice. The model advocated by Gottsched, who is the focus of the study, is France, a successful example of a national culture, an ideal of dramatic theory which is based on norms. The method employed consists in a reading of texts in French and German theory with the consideration of major themes. The study shows that Gottsched is inspired by the French classical and neoclassical tradition. It attempts to reveal the coherence of the French contributions that the German writer integrates into the edification of his national program
Perez, Claude-Pierre. "Connaissance de l'Est : le défini et l'inépuisable (une étude littéraire)." Paris 4, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA040069.
Full textThis thesis is about the aesthetics of connaissance de l'est, a collection of prose poems by p. Claudel. When speaking about this book, claudel has adopted a very rationalistic point of view, which he owes (he said) to aquinus. Our thesis tries, in its first part, tomake obvious the diversity of the collection, and the contradictions of a poet similar to the twisted tree of his poems. In a second part, we investigate the factors of unity, namely "the intelligence and the will" which cooperate to produce the famous question he asks to everything : "what does that mean?" nevertheless, this question must not make us consider these poems as mere parables; on the contrary, claudel has been drawn by mallarme and the orientals towards the aesthetics of allusion, on the path of the unspeakable

Full textThis study examines the emergence of Subsaharian Francophone African criticism. In the beginning we try to proove that traditionnal african society have also a kind of criticism which applyed on the tales, legends and myths. In colonisation's years appears a criticism which is only claims his support about colonial system. With the Négritude movement, criticism became one occasion to show African civilisation value. Critics think that literature and novelists must be against colonisation. In seventies some critics like M. Kane, A. Koné and others established that the sources of African novel can be found in the African story-telling tradition. After, we try to show the another criticism discours : the influence of new european criticism with S. Anozié, question about the language used by writers and the criticism of female writers. We also examine how magazine talk about African literature
Liu, Ke. "La posture littéraire d'André Gide : posture classique et jeu sur la posture." Paris 8, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA082775.
Full textAndré Gide’s literary posture can be related to the problematic question of classicism. Gide considers the classicism as emanating from personal morals or aesthetics without excluding entirely the historical definition of the doctrine. At the same time, the classical can outdo historicism and reach the level of an absolute judgement, an everlasting value. Here precisely, the question of the classical is connected with the question of the play and the question of the intention: Gide appears as an intentional performer between his work and the reader in order to guide the reader in the game of his writing and to elevate his work to the rank of an everlasting classical. In the three parts of our thesis, we examine Gide’s intricate literary posture: this dynamic system is built around the creative intention of the author, the posture having to be discovered in the text itself and needing the reader’s complicity, in the hope of elaborating an everlasting work
Hourmant-Le, Bever Nathalie. "Le théâtre de Steven Berkoff : une esthétique de la rupture." Rennes 2, 2000. http://www.theses.fr/2000REN20043.
Full textThe @theatre of Steven Berkoff is based on a central notion that of rupture, this distinctive feature is certainly one of the most remarkable staples of his theatre. Moreover the playwright was once quoted as saying " art should not ever begin to express some balanced thing, art is schizophrenic ". This statement legitimates and justifies this attempt at defining his theatre according to this principle. The similarities between schizophrenia and Berkoff's theatrical world are striking and numerous. Thanks to several immutable theatrical and linguistic rules Steven Berkoff has elaborated an aesthetics of rupture. His theatre is a portrait of the world of the schizophrenic along with a provocative commentary on modernist and postmodernist culture. A threefold approach has been chosen in this work. First we will study the different influences which have shaped Berkoff's theatre. Then we shall focus attention on the notion of world catastrophe which is of primary importance in his plays. A second part will deal with language and its main features. In the last part we will first survey the way in which Steven Berkoff treats sexuality and violence and then concentrate on Steven Berkoff himself and his ambivalent relationships with the journalists
Piperini, Marie-Christine. "Le travail psychique créateur : deux études sur l'écriture littéraire comme enveloppe narcissique." Bordeaux 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997BOR21018.
Full textUsing the concepts of "container" (w. R. Bion) and of "psychological shroud" (d. Anzieu), and from the research about creation introduced by S. Freud, D. W. Winnicott, M. De M'Uzan and D. Anzieu, we have explored the dynamic of the articulation : narcissism - writing - thought. This thesis questions the possibility for the writer to transform sensory images into parts of a representation of himself, and to accede like this to the conception of a protective unity. We have applied these theoretic means in analysing some representations explained by some writers who try to understand the literary creation process. Then we have observed the phenomenon which are mobilized during a writing session inside a psychiatric hospital. The results of our researches highlight that the creative thought stays on the inmost bodily experience. They set the place of the other's desire for engaging this process. We can see how the style's work and the research of a manner of writing like no one else constitute a paradoxal defence. It reveals the writer's identity (by what insists and shows) and it wears the mask of technicity at the same time. We note how the self-flawes and abilities appear into a text which are writer by psychiatric hospital's patient as well as in a famous writer. So, we grasp the potential supply of writing for going to get a new conscience of himself
Rouxel, Annie. "Distance, complexité, plaisir : réflexion sur une didactique de la lecture littéraire." Rennes 2, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995REN20019.
Full textTeaching the distanciation that leads to understanding and enjoying the text: such is the purpose of this didactics of literary reading. Based on the study of complex texts, it uses literature as a priviliged tool to teach the students how to read a text. The origins of this research lie in the difficulties met by the secondary school students in the complex tensions between the reader and the text that characterise literary reading. Many of these difficulties are due to the phenomenon of referential illusion and its corollary, a discursive tendancy to the rationalisation of the text. In order to enable the students to approach the text critically, two techniques are developed here : the teaching of questioning and the resort to activities which force the reader to consider the scriptural dimension of the text. But the teaching of distanciation also includes the studies of the phenomenons which require distanciation in the appreciation of the meaning of the text : irony is one of them. Therefore a didacdics of ironical texts is identified as a privileged means to reach controlled distanciation
Borgonovi, Chiara. "Le geste chez Madame de Staël : représentation littéraire et arts plastiques." Paris 8, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA082503.
Full textStarting from the crisis that strikes the classical aesthetics during the 18th century and leads to a breaking off of the barriers within arts and literary genres, I have studied the presence and intersection of different elements in Madame de Staël's novels. In fact there is a discourse on arts, in this author, that informs the composition, the stucture and even the signification of her works. Then I have found out a particular aesthetics of the expression through suggestion that informs a writing of the gesture and the pantomime in a significant system including auditory, visual and kinetic elements taken from a renewed theatrical aesthetics as from the aesthetic codes of sculpture and especially painting. It is finally so that Madame de Staël inscribes the moral signification of her novels in the image and that she represents the life of the individual as a world made of significant forms, in a Romantic mind already

Full textThis research work is composed, as a first step, of a descriptive analysis of the internal production and the reception of foreign literatures (opposition of internal vs. External) in iran between 1943 and 1979, based on sokhan magazine. Our objective was to observe the behaviour of the literary sub-system of sokhan confronted to modernity during this period from three different angles: the balance between internal and imported production, between different imported literatures and finally the opposition between prose and poetry (centre vs. Periphery) inside the iranian system. The quantitative weight of imported literature reveals the extremely receptive character of persian literature, sign of an overwhelming need for renewal that started to grow from the first years of the twentieth century. Translations and the related criticisms had an important role in the evolution of the persian literary system by creating a breach in the balance between prose and poetry and by modifying the standards both from a formal and thematic standpoint. The quantitative data reveal the stratification and the clear hierarchy of the reception. During the reference period french literature lost its rank of principal source literature to the benefit of american literature first and then to latin american and german literatures. We have then examined, as a second step, the reception of french writers in sokhan. The quantitative data on translations and articles written on each author reveal critical choices, related to the requirements of the receiving system, but also to the political environment. The most represented authors such as apollinaire, valery, eluard, camus, sartre and malraux give a dimension of modernity in poetics and fiction. Our research shows that sokhan gives priority to poetry, seeking to maintain it as the centre of the system

Full textAs the suspicion of dispersion and frivolity turns on his being as well as his art, Jean Cocteau had recourse to the word "line" to conjure up "the permanence of [his] personality" and the singularities of his esthetic. The word allowed to federate his two basic activities: draw and writing. Actually, after the disavowal of his vain youth made in le Potomak, he tried to be a poet and to respect three esthetical principles, that had the responsibility of celebrating his originality: simplicity, density, relief his literary style, his poems, his novels and his theatral works prove all this. Almost graphic and linear, the plastic work confirms this personal line. Nevertheless, the creation as well as the creator, had to admit the centrifugal force, the spiritual and psychological one, that threatened that will of unity, which founded a peculiar poetical thought

Full textThis work analyses how French and English literary critics from 1890 to 1940 borrow musical structures in order to explain literary texts. We consider how the role, the meanings and the function of musical metaphors in critical discourse evolve from the infancy of this practice to the reading of musical structures in works of Marcel Proust, Aldous Huxley, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. In the first period considered (1890-1910), at the end of the Symbolist period, the metaphors of the symphony and leitmotiv allow the French Symbolists to define their own literary ideal, to move away from classical rhetoric towards a new relation between form and signification. Thereafter, the use of musical metaphors in literary criticism is associated with deconstruction of classical rules governing plot, continuity and unity. The critics of the second period (1910-1930), who conveyed a post-romantic conception of form, used terms such as "theme", "rhythm", and "variation" to describe formal and structural literary devices by using play-on-words, hyperbole and antonomasia. Borrowing features from the musicological analysis of the fugue, the symphony and musical variation, which they reframe as reading criteria, the critics of the 1930s help read modernist novels of the beginning of the twentieth century

Full textWhether it is thanks to novels, children’s picture books or comics, children’s literature readership is oftentimes presented maps that work as much as narrative spatializations as spatialised narrations. The examination of the Jeanne Cappe Collection, which gathers published works from the end of the 1940s to the mid-1970s, and the examination of contemporary productions, attest that maps travel across children’s literature’s history and genres.The synchronic and diachronic perspectives, as well as the literary and iconographic approaches, improved with geography, cartographic and art histories quotation, not only make it possible to create a cartography of the map in children’s literature, but also to try and single out its rhetorical, aesthetic and imaginary purposes.In the end, what does the literary map in children’s literature reveal and, on the contrary, what does children’s literature do to literary maps?The first chapter deals with the map’s educational function, discussing the transmission of geographic knowledge in several genres (school novels, atlas, travel stories, and adventure novels). The cartographic writing of the history is also studied, especially how children’s literature uses the map as a historical narrative device within historical novels, among other genres.The second chapter focuses on the map materiality, so as to highlight its connexion with cartography history and artistic cartography. Studying the map’s physical identity reveals how numerous are the interactions in which bodies and senses – the characters’, thanks to the cartographic experience dramatization – and the readers’, handling, manipulating and checking the map – and text-shaped system) are remarkably stirred.The third chapter analyses the map as translated into images, symbols, words or settings. Observing that the world is shaped into a kind of representation leads to question the very notion of verisimilitude and the use of the cartographic language in literary maps. It shows the way to examine the literary imaginary presence within the cartographic imaginary. The map turned into literature is eventually discussed as an expression of how literature expands onto the map territory.Being cross-disciplinary, the rhetorical, aesthetic and imaginary discussions are to be found in all of three chapters : for it deals with literary maps, the question of language – of languages, since they achieve the convergence of both the cartographic language and the literary language – is at the heart of interactions between discursive objectives, style, materiality and imaginary of the map

Full textThe purpose of this study was to compare three authors writing in different idioms, all three belonging to the XVIIth century: Shakespeare, Calderon and Corneille. We tried to show that their theatrical works offer the features of a baroque aesthetics, refusing consequently the image of a classical Corneille. We choosed one of the aspects which represents the best the baroque in the theater: madness. The theme of madness leaded us to examine, in a linguistical, stylistical and literary point of view, some characteristics common or divergent between this English, Spanish and French theater. First, we began to point out in these three authors that some characters were having an unbounded desire of power and domination, representing on stage what we called "a Prometheus challenge". From this point, we established that the linguistical and stylistical expression of madness was not necessarily appearing with an hyperbolical language but, paradoxically, with a rational language. We studied then the madness of love, and more particularly jealousy, which symbolizes a DionysiaC baroque, producing, in the tragedy or the comedy, the violence of passion. Finally, we saw that madness could present clinical and pathological signs and symbolize therefore a spiritual, somatical and macrocosmical disorder, described with precision by the three authors. In conclusion, this work shows that the topic of madness perfectly reflects a theatrical baroque with different faces in the works of Shakespeare, Calderon and Corneille

Full textAdaptation| after balasz, bazin et mitry, some theoretical and or methodological problems remain yet unresolved about this phenomenon. What is adaptation? what is its theoretical status? why do we take it as an object of analysis? if, in methodology, this study adventures reconciliation between bakhtin and g. Genette through m. -ci. Roparswuilleumier's approach, it shows a theoretical eclectism among the kristevo-barthesian text, u. Eco's reader and h. R. Jauss' reception with the help of the bakhtinian concepts of polyphony and dialogism. What, how, why : this reasoning permits to problematize the subject and to analysize adaptation with a corpus of gamble : diary of a priest of country (bernanos et bresson), paulina 1880 (jouve et bertuccelli), the red sorghum (mo yan et zhang yimou), macbeth (shakespeare et welles), the idiot (dostoievski et kurosawa). L'adaptation being problematized as receptional transformation, the semiotical passage operates structural changes. Certainly, the subjectivity of enunciation explains spatiotemporal modifications, but text can be reconstitued by the collaboration of a plurial reader, who appeals pragmatics in the paradoxical process of writing and rewriting. Chronotopical and sociocultural reception reveals itself consubstantial with structural translation, that is operated in concrete context of discourse. The notion of fidelity is considered as an impasse, because transformation doesn't consist only in simple researches of equivalences, but also in explorations of the original text, in rereading the text of textemes, of which the mother-text remains to define

Full textThe speeches today Georges Darien remain largely associated with anarchism. To grasp the limits, the thesis goes back to biographical sources. Reading his œuvre− as rich as méconnue− take note of a founding moment: the experience of disciplinary camps, in 1883. From there, fictions are part of a protest action. The literary destiny becomes specular true reflection of a resistor input soul.Holding both Balzac Vallès or Mirbeau, the writer denounces and engages its copyright liability. Combining with original characters and situations, Darien revisits the issues of his time compared to the bourgeoisie, to money, to institutions, to the individual. As such, its literature is a vast territory to explore. Writing practices and specific stereotypes of the “end of century” are the subject of a highly critical analysis. The man of letters wrote his challenge in all forms: novel, poetry, theater, pamphlet, newspaper, speech. Lost child of the bourgeoisie, comes to the Great Muette, besieged by nightmarish visions; Darien has enough to feed his scriptural resistance. Nothing missed libertarian speech he exercises. Bagnes and armies will experience more violent satire. Family and guardianship bodies shall issue often ridiculous ideologies. Nations and writers will provide an opportunity to discuss the place of the artist and forge a fierce individualism. Under the cover of detonating stories, the writer gives to see and matter but also fashion. Increment, picture, cartoon, reductio ad absurdum, founded an original aesthetic. Fiction never pledged allegiance to a system of thought, whatever it is. The literary continent on which we lay our eyes means reviewing our certainties. Go to the meeting of Darien, is rethinking the issue of accession to anarchism, naturalism or symbolism. Literature becomes the laboratory of a thought that is never partisan, anxious to decrypt. The comparative approach such as sociology allow it to engage decryption. Finally, read or reread Darien is spend a singular literary destiny plural of our destinies. The text finds its etymology of “textus” this thread is done and undone at the discretion of the scriptures and clashes of collective history as personal

Full textMervyn Peake (1911-1968) trained as a painter and was also a writer, a drawer, an illustrator and a playwright. His work was prolific and eclectic. This thesis explores the Peakean relationship between image and text, dealing in particular with the intersemiotic link between his illustrations, fiction and poetry. In the opening chapter, three short passages are analysed closely. They illustrate the formation of images in the mind and point to the origin of the texts. The two main parts are structured to reflect the Peakean visual modes of the panorama and the close-up. In the first part, map-making, navigation and vision guide fictional movements on the symbolic waterways running through textual and pictorial spaces. The analysis draws from the Peakean metaphor of the island and its coastline, and explores fluctuating boundaries. The second part deals with the formal logic of Peake's images and texts. The mapping-out of this fictive space reveals a tension between the centre and the periphery. This spatial and geographic aspect is further developed by Peake's deployment of the grotesque and nonsense, and the use of taxonomy. The grotesque is Mervyn Peake's aesthetic response to and means of capture of reality's sliding flux. It also characterizes his fascination for excentricity. Finally, this thesis analyses the reflexive aspect of Peake's work and the meta-discourse that defines the interface between image and text. The pictorial quality of his writing appears then as the textual expression of a desire for images. This pole is the axis around which his work revolves

Full textLouis-Sébastien Mercier (1740-1814) is a craftsman of the drama. Its participation in the aesthetic reflexion was crowned by a vast theatrical production. While resting on the large theoretical texts of the author, this work privileges the dramas, to read the orientations of the dramatic reform which it carried out. It is a question of following the thought of Mercier who speaks about the writer “flagellator of vice”, “cantor of the virtue”, in order to analyze the dramatic and dramaturgic means by which the esthetic reform leads, in its dramas, with a thought on the transformation of the society. Middle-class dramas, heroic dramas or national plays, and historical dramas are analyzed together, to see how all these categories account for the capacity given to the theater, and make it possible to understand the Mercier’s literary, political and social ideal. The first part makes for the installation. It not only sticks to traverse the great ideas of reform supported by Mercier, but also to present the selected repertory. It releases a particular conception of the representation of the conditions, which constitutes finally the matrix of the sociopolitic reflexion that the second and the third parts reveal through paintings, figures of characters, speeches

Full textThe thesis tries to recognize the spiritual condition permitting the evolution from the concept of works to the concept of text in the literary literature, which happened in the 60s to 70s during the 20th century. It defines two aspects of the conception of the text: text-object, text-practice. From the conception of works to the conception of text, it is not only a change of term, but a transformation of the discourse order and paradigms of the intelligibility. The analysis of these two conceptions will allow us to understand the keys of the structuralism and the post-structuralism in the literature. We will explore the new dialectics in this age between the truth and value, the knowledge and practice, the descriptive and the evaluative, the institution and the transgression, in order to demonstrate the double face of the literature
Debodard, Myriam. "Paul Klee en France : poétique d'une mise en texte critique et littéraire." Paris 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA030012.
Full textThe glosses upon painting question the language on two counts – on its substance and on its form. How can one describe, explain and interpret ? This questionning becomes all the more acute when it applies to foreign painting, and in particular when it comes to the painting which the French disparagingly refer to as " Germanic ". The aesthetical interpretation of the french texts regarding Klee gives us insights to justify and answer this questionning. Indeed, the very annexing Klee in the first time by the surrealists in their writings strengthens the rejection of his painting and his qualification, outrunning the facts, as a member of the avant-garde ; it also contriibuted indiscouraging part of the critics. The historical context confirms this keeping Klee out of the public view in France, untill the sixties. When it comes to form, the stylistic mapping of those discourses underlines the more frequent use of combined generic categories, rather than the strict observing of genuses. The demonstrative mode especially occurs in the poetic genus while the poetic mode is present in essays. Inside those particular generic frowmings, the strictly speaking aesthetic discourse gets re-framed by the pragmatic sanction logically foreseen by the reader : the descriptions set out little to be seen, whereas the descriptive tone of a text permits indeed that the hermeneutics might occur. Klee's ccommentators therefore maintain with the significant and the signified of his work a contradictory relationship : regarding the former via works, thus often neglecting any interpretative consideration, and in the opposite, they try and grasp the latter via a kaleidoscopic evocation of the Work in its whole

Full textHoward Barker is a playwright, poet, director and English painter born in 1946. He began to write early 1970 and has developed since the 1980's the concept of The Theatre of Catastrophe. His theatre recognizes Greek tragedy as a model, cutting off its catharsis effect and keeping its climax, the chaos. It puts the actor at the centre because it is the bearer of language. This text analyzes the concepts of this theatre through five selectedplays : The Europeans, Gertrude the Cry, The Twelfth Battle of Isonzo, Und and Don’t Exaggerate (Desires and insults) A Political Statement in the Form of Hysteria. In the first part, we develop the broad principles of this drama : the tragic and its adaptation, the omnipresence of death ; speculation that the author practices from a historical or literary standpoint and questioning morality through the savage ego which characterises the catastrophist character. The second part focuses on the construction of the catastrophist play : what is its dramaturgy, how is it an expression of desire and places the language at the centre of the theatre and how the chaos concept cannot be separated. The third part analyzes the poetic aspect of the last three plays cited in which secrecy is predominant and the language of the theatre of Catastrophe is radicalized. The fourth part relate experiences with this theatre : spectator, free observer , intern and workshop assistant. Such various viewpoints are confronted. The conclusion summarises the concepts of The Theatre of Catastrophe and assesses its place in the contemporary theatrical landscape

Full textRamón Gómez de la Serna (1888-1963) was the author of a work that introduced in Spain a kind of writing whose singularity was very early underlined by the critics. In 1912, he created the Greguerías, a brief and playful literary form which was immediately commented on for its novelty tinged with subversion. Within a few years, that form spread throughout the Spanish press and was welcomed in a positive way outside the frontiers of the peninsula. Until 1962, Ramón Gómez de la Serna published numbers of these short paragraphs in newspapers or anthologies. He defined them as the alliance of humour and metaphor, and combined there his research into dissonance with a poetical work on our perception of the world. Yet, it is the later form of the greguería that is best known today; very few studies have focused on the literary education of Ramón Gómez de la Serna and raised the issue of the readings which may have influenced the author or o! f the editorial choices which gave birth to the greguerías. The purpose of this study is to reassess the literary position of Ramón Gómez de la Serna within the context of his training, that of the years 1910. The models of writing prevailing then and the vocational dimension the craft took on at the time — shaped by a daily collaboration with newspapers and magazines — were the essential aesthetic foundations of the writer’s future work. In this context, the Ramonian prose sheds a new light on the plural and syncretic nature of what I have called the aesthetic ferment of the years 1910 in Spain

Full textWhy has Jean Forton – a French novelist published by Gallimard from 1954 to 1966, hailed by the critics of the time and a one-time Goncourt Prize runner – fallen into near-oblivion ? To answer this question, we have examined the evolution of the way his works have been received from 1951 to this day, through both the national and regional press, with a view to clarifying the influence of events, critiques and literary context. By examining Forton’s varied editorial fortunes, we try to determine whether the fact of living in the provinces has an effect on the fame of an author. The last part of our dissertation deals with a number of hypotheses concerning the future reception of Jean Forton’s works. We take into account the recent and current upheavals within the world of publishing, the increasingly confined status accorded to French literature worldwide, as well as the changes in readers’ attitudes to literature

By following the approach of the sociology of literature this study has been carried out to amend this biased and partial vision through the definition of the author's position in the cultural and literary fields from 1961 to 1986. The analysis of the writing strategies applied by the author to his literary project will emphasise the differential application of the humour and irony schemes oriented toward the research of an autonomous literary space
