Tendil, Jean-Luc. "De la conquête territoriale à la conquête sociale : l'homme jouet ou acteur de son évolution dans l'œuvre de Jack London ?" Montpellier 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007MON30052.
Full textJack London, traveller and story-teller, was always interested in human freedom as the source of dignity, that treasure of the human mind which social injustice, or more simply the cruelty of life, have often plundered and wrecked. Late-nineteenth-century evolutionism in America probably disturbed conventional opinions about the origin of freedom: instead of an unalienable right given by God, it appeared to be the objective of a painful conquest, which started in the random struggles of the animal kingdom even before it was born as a concept in the human brain. While evolution has made us what we are – intelligent beings -, intelligence in turn compels us to take up the burden of evolution, to determine its path and no longer follow it. However, London appears to have considered evolutionary forces as being conveyed by an irresistible and incomprehensible flux of energy. He even went so far as to present it as a physical illusion whose refinements have never genuinely softened the inherent brutality of the world, always prone to resurface. Telluric forces, which are up to the poet to detect and decipher, keep thwarting the advances of evolution. Nevertheless, in spite of the enormity of these forces, seemingly awakened by the 1890 closure of the Frontier, the tiny creatures of the living world keep growing back again. It is the miracle of this tiny, indomitable spirit, which men must appropriate on their way to freedom

Full textLes termes de couleur, anciens ou modernes, ne peuvent être réduits à la dénomination de catégories servant à diviser le spectre des visibles : cet ensemble lexical unique mérite d’être considéré comme un phénomène linguistique et littéraire à part entière. Pourtant, trop souvent encore, les études portant sur le vocabulaire de la couleur tendent à subordonner le système langagier au phénomène physique, conséquence indirecte de la recherche d’objectivité qu’une vision positiviste attribue aux sciences de la nature. Les termes de couleur sont alors examinés selon des critères qui ne correspondent pas à leur véritable essence – une attitude qui, dans le cas des langues anciennes, mène à des constats d’imprécision injustifiés. Dans les faits, l’emploi des termes de couleur transcende largement la dimension visuelle : leur nature se révèle essentiellement subjective, et ce à plus forte raison dans les textes littéraires, dont se compose l’essentiel du matériel dont nous disposons pour étudier les cas du grec et du latin. Plutôt que de mettre l’accent sur les différences entre conceptions anciennes et modernes, cette étude aborde la couleur en tant que phénomène culturel dans une optique de continuité ; elle vise à montrer que l’analyse littéraire de textes poétiques anciens peut nourrir une réflexion sur la nature des couleurs et sur les processus qui mènent à leur conceptualisation. Après avoir posé les bases d’une réflexion sur la nature de la couleur (Chapitre I), cette thèse étudie le traitement poétique des termes de couleur et, de façon plus générale, l’utilisation des procédés littéraires faisant appel au chromatisme, chez les élégiaques latins (Ovide, Properce, Tibulle et le Corpus Tibullianum) et Catulle, à partir de leurs principaux modèles grecs d’époque alexandrine (Théocrite, Callimaque) et archaïque (poésie lyrique et épopée homérique). L’étude se focalise autour de quatre grands thèmes qui correspondent à des images littéraires développées par les poètes élégiaques – le « petit livre coloré » (Chapitre II), le « portrait en rouge et blanc » (Chapitre III), l’« amant pâle » (Chapitre IV) et la « mer céruléenne » (Chapitre V). Le corpus principal, approché dans l’ordre chronologique inverse, est envisagé sous l’angle de la réécriture. En effet, l’imitation émulative se trouve au cœur du processus créatif des poètes latins, qui élaborent leur identité d’auteurs en réinventant les vers de leurs prédécesseurs ; ce procédé amène les poètes à reprendre et à enrichir des images littéraires colorées, donnant naissance à des topoi et à des associations d’idées qui, au fil des siècles, tendent à se cristalliser sous la forme de termes de couleur abstraits.
Color terms, in modern and ancient languages alike, cannot be reduced to sections of the visible spectrum: this complex and rather unique lexical ensemble deserves our full attention as a linguistic and literary phenomenon. Yet color vocabulary is still too often regarded as an imperfect means to describe visual perceptions, a system that fails to achieve the precision of optical science. This idea, a consequence of the quest for objectivity which natural sciences are hoped to provide, does not reflect the true nature of color terms and induces an important bias in their study: as a result, many classical philologists have come to judge Greek and Latin color vocabularies as underdeveloped and their use by ancient authors as clumsy. The purpose of color terms is not limited to description in terms of chromatic acuteness: in fact, this vocabulary proves to be subjective by nature. This is even truer about its literary use, and literature constitutes the main material available to study color terms in Greek and Latin. Instead of looking for differences between ancient and modern conceptions, this study focuses on continuity and on color as a cultural phenomenon; its aim is to show that the analysis of ancient poetry can contribute to a more general reflection on the nature of colors and to our understanding of how they become concepts. Beginning with a chapter devoted to the nature of color (Chapter I), this dissertation studies the poetic treatment of color terms and, more generally, the use of literary devices pertaining to chromatism in Roman Elegists (Ovid, Propertius, Tibullus and the Corpus Tibullianum) and Catullus, as well as in their Greek models from the Hellenistic (Theocritus, Callimachus) and Archaic (lyric poetry and Homeric epics) periods. The study focuses on four poetic figures – the “little, colorful book” (Chapter II), the “red and white portrait” (Chapter III), the “pale lover” (Chapter IV) and the “cerulean sea” (Chapter V). Each of these chapters surveys the meaning of Latin vocabulary and expressions through the Greek verses they refer to. The corpus is approached in reverse chronological order, with more specific attention paid to intertextuality and rewriting: imitatio plays in fact a crucial role in the creative process of Latin poets, who construct their identity as authors as they interpret and transform pre-existing text. The colorful imageries that are thus being developed over centuries give birth to topoi and strong associations between emotions and realities that tend to crystallize in the form of abstract color terms.
Thomas, Louis Rodrigue. "Histoire et évolution dans la théorie sociale contemporaine." Paris 10, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA100004.
Full textFrom the perspective of occidental modernity, the notions of history and evolution are intricate. Despite fundamental differences, both paradigms converge into the modern conception of progress. This is asserted by the recurrence of concepts such as development, process, perfectibility, and so fort. Thus the notions of "history", "evolution" and "progress" together contributed to the realization of a lime thought as essentially historical. They were used to symbolize the movement and the lime - in the sense of a '-before" and an "alter". The twentieth century discredited all constitutive theories of the modernity Hegelianism, liberalism, Marxism. By doing so, does it not weaken the basic of the historical paradigm? How did evolution resist the crisis of knowledge? Why does it overtake a sphere traditionally owned by history? The new myths - created by striking progress of "genetic engineering" - tend to ascribe a national dimension to "evolution-scheme' in every respect. Yet, "evolution-scheme' refers to the lime before the process of hominisation. Furthermore, the explanation of historical change is associated with the experience of humanity. Could evolution supplant history by generalising the principle of "natural selection"? Is the modem concept of history operative enough to conceive the present? This thesis - from the angle history/evolution - aims to separate history from "philosophy of history". That requires dealing with the evident contradictions of our lime. In this respect doesn't the relationship between nature and history hold a fundamental form of these contradictions? Should the term nature still be defined in opposition - litre in nature/culture, nature/history? Can we change our concept of history without loosing the sense of the modem conception of history
Danaila, Ioana. "Construction, évolution et questionnements identitaires dans la littérature nigériane contemporaine." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020GRALL005.
Full textNigerian literature at the dawn of the 21st century places the notion of identity in a context of immigration and globalization which complexifies and questions it. If the affirmation of national identity is no longer a priority, the third generation of Nigerian writers focuses on representations of identity as process and dynamics.Identity is first envisaged as a spatial and temporal construction around the heritage of Nigerian traditional cultures, the representations of space and its relation to History. However, this construction is questioned through the traumatic experience and immigration. The resulting spatial and cultural in-between space entails a crisis of the family ties, which become the object of a conflict between inherited and created identity. Finally, this momentum towards the future gives identity a kaleidoscopic configuration related to linguistic plurality and intertextuality. The writing of the self is associated to an echo chamber of languages, voices and embedded literary forms.To conclude, the age of globalization and mobility entails a transformation of the notion of identity due to multitude of cultural spaces where individuals live. The writing of the self as « initial data » thus evolves towards a writing of the sum of the possibilities of being
Gonneaud, Justine. "L'androgyne dans la littérature britannique contemporaine : évolution et métamorphoses d'une figure." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013MON30048.
Full textThis study tackles the aesthetics, politics and ethics of androgyny, focusing on five novels of contemporary British writers: Brigid Brophy’s In Transit, Angela Carter’s The Passion of New Eve, Jeanette Winterson’s Written on the Body, Peter Ackroyd’s Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem and Will Self’s Cock and Bull. The first part examines the aestheticdimension of androgyny, a myth of metamorphic value that destabilizes notions of space, time, bodily constraints and gendered identity. The second part analyses the interplay between the grotesque and hybrid dimensions of the hermaphroditic body in reclaiming the monstrous as a means to renegotiate identity in terms of a multiplicity and to redefine the relationship of the individual to Otherness. This finally allows to examine the political and ethical values ofthe hermaphrodite that articulates the non-foundational Levinasian ethics of alterity with the more practical approach to otherness of the ethics of care

Full textThis academic thesis concerns French philosophical discourses of the second half of the twentieth century. Among the essential features of these discourses is the constant concern with literature. Such a concern had two main consequences: in the first place, redefining the philosophical concept of literature; in the second place, affecting in return the style of these philosophical discourses. Such a redefinition of the mere concept of literature is drastic: literature is no more to be thought as expression or representation. It is, above all, language: the autonomous power of a play upon meanings, strictly remote from all others discourses. This redefinition put literature at a certain limit of knowledge: literature appears from now on as an outside object, according to the traditional criteria of philosophical knowledge. Dealing with this specific object, the philosophical discourses begin to wonder about their intercourse with the very act of writing. It is the birth of a French philosophical style, coined by authors of notable formal invention abilities - namely Jacques Derrida or Jean-François Lyotard. Philosophy is no more the simple commentary of literature; it has turned into inscription, imitation, and creation. Thereby, philosophy becomes a literary philosophy. With literature, knowledge is transcended - but literature still carries a truth, although it is not the philosophical truth. It is the truth which philosophy can not deliver: the truth about life

Full textBy means of the research and analysis of varied texts related to the notion of movement, in a wide temporary perspective, which covers from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the XX century, the main objective of this thesis is to study the construction of the imaginary literacy of the french-navarre frontier and its evolution. From a not only deacon but also synchronic point of view, the great axes of the performance appear, according to an hypothesis which examines the perturbing intervention of the frontier in the process of the imaginary of the place. This constantly ranges indeed between its two main and inseparable components: the notions of joining and division. In this way, we are witness of the creation, the maintenance, the abandon and the renewal of stereotypes which affect not only the natural setting but also the social structures and the inhabitants. Although the character of physical and spiritual obstacle of the frontier prevails in the Middle Ages, this turns into the place where, later, the historical relations between France and Spain stage, before being the door which is opened towards exotic destinies and also the space where the ideologies are shown and the identities are strengthened. I’d like to point out too that the study of the novels highlights the capacity of movement of the frontier concept towards social, individual and metaphoric senses

Full textChaucer's Troilus seethes with allusions to Boethius' Consolatio, translated simultaneously. Contemporaries praised Chaucer's qualities as a translator, and called him a philosopher. This must be set against the backdrop of medieval philosophy, its width and its oral teaching, which promotes figures of authorities whose works are commented upon. The glosses in the Troilus manuscripts are summary notes, dialogical marks or genealogical and mythological notations, inkeeping with school commentaries. Boece's influence on Troilus is mostly structural, yet the interpolating of boethian elements entails a new re-writing mode, to be examined in the light of the nominalist realist debates (Chaucer was friends with a former oxonian logician). This intrusion of philosophy in the realm of writing submits literature to orality, although literature is seeking its independence. The translating technique used by Chaucer in Troilus and his coining policy make him part and parcel of the Tanslatio Studii movement, which upholds vernaculary languages. Chaucer is eager to establish a canon of his works, as were Dante or Machaut. Yet, Troilus' narrator poses as a monk, and references to books are unable to counter orality's supremacy over literacy

Full textThis study aims at a refined understanding of the process of dissociation of science and literature in the second half of the eighteenth century. This period seems revealing with regard to the establishment of new principles ordering the available knowledge. These changes finally led to our modern conception of links or disruptions between science and literature. However, it is also the moment for another major change closely interconnected with the first one the woman copy of the man or radically different, human being conceived as similar to the man while being simultaneously represented as the complete opposite was attracting the researcher's attention. Yet, with the act of scientific construction (fiction) the multifaceted aspects of women's lives (which had before been integral part of their representation) gradually vanished from the scientific sphere. The historic, heroic and symbolic aspects of her life will be more and more confined to the literature. Thus, the line separating science from literature finds it manifestation precisely in the different discourses dealing with the boundary-object "woman". In order to shed light on the dissociation process of science and literature with regard to the representation of women we chose to use the work of three authors: diderot, rousseau and goethe. Departing from their writings we also investigated closely the ideas put forward by scientists working at that period on similar issues such as buffon, maupertuis, bordeu, bergmann and others. The scientific, philosophical and ideological background for our study was constituted by l'encyclopedie edited by diderot et d'alembert (1751/1765) and l'encyclopedie methodique (1782/1832)
Oudry-Henrioud, Béatrice. "Le personnage féminin de Knut Hamsun : son évolution." Paris 4, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988PA040058.
Full textWe can notice three stages in the evolution of the female character in Knut Hamsuns'work. In the first novels, the author projects himself widely, the "hamsunian" hero being no less than Hamsun himself. At that stage the female character is totally dependent on men, living according to them. Besides, she must then remain unapproachable in order to play a better part as a muse and as an outlet for the poet in search of the absolute. A change can be noticed in Rêveurs and especially in Benoni and Rosa : there, the female character stands on the hero's side. This evolution can be connected with the feminist movement of the time. From then on women play a more important part and even more so when they become mothers. It is of course in L’Eveil de la glèbe that this newly-acquired balance is more obviously displayed. Finally, in the third stage women have become independent and do not rely on men as they used to. They are now the main characters. Above all things, they are mothers and men find themselves left out because of the new "couple" represented by the mother and the child. Throughout this evolution one aspect remains : the female character is the reflection of a myth

Full textThe purpose of this study is to investigate the unfinished work of Gustave Flaubert, Bouvard and Pécuchet, focusing on its own triple dimensions : encyclopedic, critical and comic, in order to reveal the philosophical meaning of this novel.The first part of this paper highlights the method how Bouvard and Pécuchet approach knowledge, and analyzes two models of their learning : the usage of signs and the classification. How to classify plants, animals, men ? This is the question to annoy them all the time during their encyclopedic journey. The question remains even in the Copy.The second part of the paper is devoted to the analysis of the episode of animal magnetism in chapter VIII of the novel. The general structure of the episode is based on the immense corpus of magnetism (Mesmer, Puységur). The theories and practices of the two magnetizers are full of epistemological implications, as long as each of their theories and practices refers to a certain moment of the history of magnetism. In order to clarify those implications, the “Mysticism-Magnetism” file must be explored. In other words, the purpose of the second part is to make this novel restore an epistemological scheme.The third part of the paper firstly discusses the epistemological scenario that closely links two episodes of chapter VIII, and secondly explores the “Philosophy” file. To the philosophical library in this novel, various philosophers such as Descartes, Cousin, Hegel, Spinoza and Montaigne are summoned. How did the novelist generate a narrative fiction from metaphysical questions such as final causes, free will and criterion of truth ? This is the main question studied in the third part

Vincent, Manon. "Les animaux dans la littérature hellénistique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040225.
Full textOur study focuses on animals in Hellenistic literature. We deliberately chose to work on a large text corpus in order to highlight the multiple representations of the animal appearing in the texts of the period. The first part of this study is devoted to animal imagery through which the authors describe the characters and human qualities, exposing, to a lesser extent, the analogue relationship between animals. The second part aims to show existing relationships, symbolic or real, between man and animal. The staging of the animals in the story reflects thepractices and ways of thinking of the Hellenistic society towards the animal. The last part of this study presents the attempts to objectify the behaviours and qualities of the animal. In that sense, it shows the rise of philosophical schools and sciences of the period by the philosophical and didactic approach to animal nature. In texts, Hellenistic thought reveals the continual tension between belief and knowledge, between cultural representations and "scientific data" of the animal. If the authors conceive man as belonging to the animal biological continuum, they stand out by the assertion of their superiority in an intellective perspective

Full text«The Greeks and Romans did not analyze the trouble of mind deeply enough to give a common denomination to a kind of its symptoms, as relevant as they may be. They surely observed and knew hallucinations, of which we are talking about. But they did not recollect them under a general definition». This was the opinion of the French physician L.-F. Lélut (L’amulette de Pascal, 1846), a statement which clearly reflects the opinion of scientists of his time about ancient analysis of psychopathological sensory alterations. Exception made for a positivistic interest, aiming at recognizing psychiatric categories in some pathological phenomena depicted in classical literature, no general study has ever been devoted to the relationship between cognitive alterations and pathological disorders of perception. This research intends to address such shortcoming through a long-term investigation of classical texts, by taking into account this cluster of pathological experiences, from Pre-Socratic physiology to the medical treatises of Late Antiquity. This work is structured in three sections: first, a methodological introduction and an analysis of the current state of art leads to an inquiry on Hippocratic texts about cognitive and sensory alterations (5th- 4th centuries BC). A comparison between medical literature and theatrical episodes of visionary madness reveals the chronological and speculative priority of Euripidean representations of morbid visions as deceptive phenomena, in opposition to the archaic image of the visionary as ‘master of truth’. The second part of the thesis focuses on the history of philosophical thought about troubles of perception, from Alcmæon to Epictetus, through the twofold lens of physiology of perception and epistemology. By refusing the Pre-Socratic materialistic model, Plato and Aristotle openly formulated the problem of distorted perceptions of madness in terms of truth and falsehood and physiological explicability, in order to push back sophistic and relativistic arguments. The development of Hellenistic Stoic/Academic debates originated from an analogous opposition between dogmatic conceptions – resting upon a ‘pre-established harmony’ between men and their objects of knowledge – and, on the other side, skeptical objections about the supposed indiscernibility of sane and mad perceptions. The core of this debate, which lasted until the end of the Platonic Academy in the 1st century BC, was perpetuated by the Middle Stoicism and then received by the subsequent medical tradition: in the third section, particular attention is devoted to the treatises written by Celsus, Aretæaus of Cappadocia, Asclepiades, Galen, Cælius Aurelianus, in which the Hellenistic philosophical heritage grafted on to the earlier clinical and pharmacological traditions. This turning point represents the very foundation of every medical consideration about sensory disorders until the end of Classical Antiquity

Full textThis dissertation is a cartography of the name Ulysses in various philosophical texts of Western post-1945 tradition, built around a common reference to Ulysses. It offers an alternative reading of philosophical texts, which is not set on a philosophical hermeneutics, but focuses rather upon a hermeneutics that tries to determine the textual variants of Ulysses and their interpretations. This hermeneutics highlights the existence of a unique moment in the memory of Ulysses as corpus, which is demonstrated as a new version of the myth of Ulysses. The present interest in the figure of Ulysses proceeds from its capacity to trouble the border between various disciplines, especially that which divides philosophical and literary traditions. A study of the areas of textual interbreeding between philosophical texts and literary intertexts of Ulysses, the Odyssey and the literary tradition of its rewritings, the revelation of the character of Ulysses' intelligence in the philosophical texts as well as its figural dimension, demonstrate that Ulysses is in fact the alibi of philosophy. As non-disciplinary figure, his role serves to establish an opening towards that which lies beyond the philosophical texts in which he appears

Full textO escopo desta dissertação consiste em apresentar e analisar a maneira pela qual se estabelece a relação entre literatura e filosofia na obra de Jean-Paul Sartre. Para tanto, tomar-se-á como principal referência alguns textos do jovem Sartre, em especial, o ensaio a Transcendência do Ego e o romance A Náusea. O método heterodoxo de buscar apoio tanto na obra teórica como na obra ficcional do autor justifica-se diante da necessária relação de interdependência que estes dois registros adquirem na obra do autor. Em decorrência, é imperativo analisar também algo do necessário desdobramento ético que esta concepção acarreta. Posto isto, cabe frisar que o percurso a ser percorrido vai da análise do texto filosófico acima mencionado, passando pela relação entre criação ficcional e reflexão filosófica e culminando com a retomada de toda a problemática desenvolvida durante o trabalho, porém, sob perspectiva literária e ética.

Full textHow to describe traveling on the 20th century? The genre of travel story implies a fundamental paradox: it lies between the expression of a necessary subjectivity and a reference anchoring, which highlights during the century which witnesses the questioning of the definition of the subject. Consequently, a travel work emerges and expresses the need to instill beyond the criteria which have been defining the genre of traveling until now. These four authors contribute to this questioning as well as a remodeling of the constants of the genre of traveling, while expressing in a dialectical way: between native land and the target countries; between oneself and the other. They also propose some patterns consistent with the poetics of traveling: archaism, closed spaces, incompleteness, death – reexamining the concepts of time and space, which influence the structure of the works as well as the language in use
Peigney, Jocelyne. "L'idée du neuf dans la pensée grecque d'Homère à Platon." Rennes 2, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001REN20017.
Full textThe introduction distinguishes between our question of progress; the subject of this work is what makes the new possible according to the Greeks and how it is understood in the ancient thought. The study of neos and the other words of the family in context leads to the analysis of a complex idea of time. The movements that can be observed in the sky and the rythm of life provided a basis for the vision of a segmented time, which was also seen as the succession of the different configurations of the things ; the ancient conception of change is dictated by both aspects. Thus, neos means "fresh", "young" and "new" in the varying combinations of the things, indicating the arising of what was not visible, individual differences, the first stage of an expected development or the end of what was established. With the study of kainos and family we come to spatial images. The sources of what is strange, unknown, upsetting, in every sense of the word, or surprising could be found in the juxtaposed spaces of the compartmentalized world. All these conceptions, with sometimes very different ways of expression, still prevailed in Greece in the first part of the 4th century B. C; the authors' claims to make or to say something new, the discussions which developed at the ebnd of the 5th century, the constructions of history must be interpreted as linked to them. Lastly, the gap between the ancients'thought and ours is clear in the conception of the heurema, "successful action" or "institution", establishing and delimiting variation, and in the meaning of heurisko, " to get ", " to produce ". Even if the traditional presentation of the heurema is altered in the chronological catalogues, at the end of the 5th century,, as that of the heuretes, " invention " is still perceived by the Greeks as an individual initiative, as an answer to a particular problem, as human action facing circumstances

The Native Americans, generally coming from the actual Chilean territory, adopted the horse arrived from Europe in the Pampa from the 16th century and developed a culture which center was the horse. The animal suffered an evolution as well : coming from Europe, the life in the great Argentine plain modified it but it is especially the work of unconscious selection done by the Pampas that is going to allow the apparition of the Criollo horse, got back and organized as a breed at the beginning of the 20th century by Professor Solanet and his friends. The influence of the Native Americans in the formation of the Criollo breed is now clear as is the foundations of the Pampa Indians' culture

Full textThe production of the Catalan novelist Mercè Rodoreda (1909-1983) is composed of two essential times that take place respectively before and after the Spanish war (1936-1939). The separation is not only chronological; it indicates a break, because the authoress has rejected her production previous to 1939, which is composed of five novels that do not appear in her complete works except for "Aloma". Nevertheless it is not the version written in 1936, but a new version made in 1968. The two versions are practically identical as to the content but the form (vocabulary, morphology, syntax) is different. The second version of "Aloma" take place after the publication of the works that have been the best-sellers of M. Rodoreda, notably "la placa del diamant"(1962). The comparative study of the two texts shows that the language of the second version is far commoner and close to the oral language; this "orality" of the narration contributes with other elements (tense, articles,. . . ) to creating in the texts the illusion of the reality

Full textThis study about the images of stones appearing in numerous tales and legends from brittany (france) and calice (spain) proves to be an archetypological contribution. From that point of view, a hundred "texts" are analysed in which stones don't only embody the similarities and the close links between two peoples apparently distant as far as their histories and cultures are concerned. Through ages, stones also keep alive the memory of the balance between dream and reality, violence and order, which is essential for individual and social human life. Then images of stones appear as stables, "written" words, which dynamise the human being inciting him to try and get the harmony, the highest wisdom they materialise. Stones are images of the totality and of the beconing springing up again and again. Man takes part in it by an individual experience of intimate and deep thinking. Each contact of the man with the stones can be a renewing instant. During the everlasting quest to unify his being, first of all man must assume the several forms of otherness represented by the images of stones, and then overcome them. To wonder, to spot, to fight against challenges and learn how to accept the idea of inperfection and instalibity in the aim og conquering the perfect balance between his double reality : that is also the tendency of the post-modern man. Works of writers such as le clezio or c. Fuentes give us several examples which show the actuality of the stones images

Full textBrooks, Carlo. "La préemption de l'image dans les romans de Don Delillo." Pau, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999PAUU1009.
Full textThe obvious preeminence of the image in the work of don delillo is related here to the notion of preemption of the image considered according to the definition martin heidegger gives to the image: the "image" is not a copy of what is but the way in which the latter is made calculable by the preemption of all that does not fit into a coherent pattern. Weltbild (the world image) is not an image of the world but the world seized as an image. Likewise, in delillo's novels, america is seized as an image: his characters search a coherence in the image while regretting the faults, incidents and dangers of the "full picture". The preemption of the image is next examined with respect to language, notably the way in which the signifier pre-empts the signified and comes to view as an image free from meaning and reference. Lastly, the preemption of the image is analyzed in its relationship to nature. Delillo's characters seem to want to discover a nature undetermined by man. However, our ability to discern the natural is vitiated by a self-referring element which seeps into events and the self. There is also a "natural" preemption of the image in delillo's work, i. E. The heideggerian readiness-at-hand (zuhandenheit). Delillo's characters want to pierce through the preemption of readiness-at-hand, seize that which lies before them as a "natural" object. Yet this longing for a superhuman perspective is nothing more than the wish to pre-empt whatever is in the heideggerian sense of the image

Full textThe dissertation is devoted to 'writing under restrictions' in fiction in general and in the French literature of the 20th century in particular. This mode of writing dates back several centuries and is defined as a number of specific formal rules, or restrictions, that an author adds to the existing linguistic and cultural norms, and deliberately and systematically follows in his/her writing of a work of fiction. These restrictions are analysed in a number of aspects – from specific rhetorical devices to global artistic concepts, – and within the context of various disciplines and cultures, which allows to treat these limitations as a formalist aesthetics in its own right. The dissertation studies various approaches to interpretation of restricted writing, defining the status of the text, the author and the reader, as well as the place and the role that is given to this kind of literature in the contemporary creation. Restricted writing, as it appears, is both a source of inspiration and a word game, moreover, it also turns out to be an instrument of dissent and subversion, a tool for liberation and a way of spiritual quest

Full textThe subject of the thesis is the project of the writing of the body as outlined in Jean-Luc Nancy’s book Corpus. Nancy affirms the necessity of resistance against the tendencies inscribed within the Occidental culture to interiorize and, hence, to erase the exteriority of the body, i. E. The very materiality and fragmentarity of existence as well as the impossibility of its subjection to a totalizing existential meaning. Since Nancy identifies the mentioned tendency both in the philosophical discourses and the literary narratives of the Occident, reproaching them with the systematic transformation of bodies into signs or incarnations of some spiritual principles, he envisages a writing of the body that would go beyond both modes of articulation by fragmenting them and depriving them of all linearity and unity. Now, Corpus sees itself uniquely as a project of a new writing jet to be realized. Therefore, the present thesis discusses not only the philosophical implications of this work (especially the influences of Derrida, Barthes, Heidegger), but also its (anti)literary potential as it can be thought in light of the project that is the realized book called Corpus

Full textHow can one grasp, starting from the study of he theme of misanthropy -, what ceates truncation and / or continuity in the relations between literature and philosophy ? Where does one situate the threshold between these two disciplines ? When do both become one ? The interest of this research is to free misanthropy from the theatrical sphere in which it has somehow been immured, for the past years, by the tradition of the "Agrégation" in French Language and Literature. By concentrating on novels rather than on plays, one notices that misanthropy of the Cnémons, the Alcestes, etc. , is somewhat dangerous for the Polis given how these misanthropists dream of living out of the social game ; the active misanthropists of Huxley and Orwell are more active, diferently, since their political project consists of bringing Man back to the stage of baboon. Isn't true misanthropy that which annihilates, as a misologist, collective culture to prevent the development of all personal culture ?

Full textThe coherence of what can appear as an incongruous collection is based on a recurrent image constituting the object of the thesis : the wounded body. It allows to explore, in the first stage of the research, the "phenomenology of the wound", based on the theories of gaston bachelard and gilbert durand. This first stage enables an investigation into the relationships between the body and the environment as a powerful means of symbolization in the texts. The second stage involves a deeper exploration into the relatioships between the characters of the four texts, and the structuring forces of the imaginary of the wounded body, on an individual, interindividual, and collective basis. It leads to an interrogation about a new form of initiation for the characters involved in the wounding process. Findings from the above leads to a third stage of research, namely the study of the "writing of the wound", investigating its technical tenats as well as its metaphorical, that is "cognitive" potentialities, as paul ricoeur would put it

Thus, the mexican poet develops a mainly critical activity. This critical position appears in other cultur al and spiritual manifestations which reveal that post-modern men react against the excessive racionalism resulting from modernism and the destruction that comes along with progress. In latin america the poet is indeed the conscience of those people who, fascinated by the surprising products of technology, ignore the value of their own world's vision. The poet points out, as well, their false interpretations and the danger of irreflexible adoption of the great ideologies
