Poivre, Amandine. "La faim dans la littérature grecque jusqu’à Aristophane." Paris 4, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040149.
Full textThis work studies hunger in the light of collective imagination it arouses and its aesthetics in several studied works from Homer to Aristophanes. An initial semantic study enlightens the meanings of the words limos and peinè. Archaic works show a remarkable homogeneity of thought, focused on the position of hunger in the relationship between man and gods, and also between man and his own mortality. Hunger is a dread punishment, sent by gods, conceived in a concrete way as an external, aggressive entity attacking the men as well as the cities and invading them. Unity is also around the theme of gaster, belly, which is metonymic of hunger that symbolises human mortality and brings the men into contact with savagery. We can talk about a poetics of the belly : there is an heroism about hunger in the Odyssey and in the hesiodic poems. During the 5th century, the concept of hunger becomes more and more rational and the anthropological matter loses importance, whereas generic constraints come into the foreground. As far as comedy is concerned, hunger gives reasons to laugh, to lament, to denounce some behaviours and to think about the comic genre itself. Tragedy lets hunger appear as a pathetic display of the disorder which is peculiar to tragic world. Historiography pays attention to the part taken by hunger in the historical events. Through the whole studied corpus, the theme of hunger distinguishes itself by its metaphorical fertility

Full textThe theme of hunger is recurrent in the literatures of the entire world. Primordial, original, this theme, which the lexical field is often summoned to attest to the importance of human impulses, is not yet a subject of great interest on the part of literary scholars General and compared, as well as from the philosophers. The purpose of this work is therefore to establish a representative pattern of writings of the hunger, to define typologies of hunger, to provide one or more taxonomy (s) to then deepen the critical analysis of various speeches from hunger by several topics as the identity of the hungry man, hunger myths, mysticism and fasting, the humour of the hunger, the particular consequences of hunger when it is manipulated by a political power, the ethics of starvation, etc. This broad critical analysis of the different discourses of hunger should allow to consider the credibility and the structuring elements of what could be called an "ontology of hunger" in the sense of a radical reform and rebuilding of the reports of the man and his environment. The references used in this work are not restricted to a time or a particular geographical area. We’ll tap as much in ancient literatures, classical, modern, postmodern, contemporary as well as technical studies because hunger is not the prerogative of a time or a particular civilization but raw, first and original data of the human being
O tema da fome é quase sistemático nas literaturas do mundo inteiro. Primordial, original, esse assunto (cuja léxico é bastante utilizado como campo metafórico para descrever as pulsões humanas, (amor, paixão, ódio, etc.)foi, portanto, pouco examinado e são poucas as estudas que se focalizam sobre este tema, seja literárias ou filosóficas.O alcance da tese é descrever essa "terra desconhecida" e propor uma taxinomia dos famintos assim que, depois de pesquisar a identidade dos famintos, os mitos da fome, a mística dela, o humor e as consequências sobre a política, o poder e os aspectos jurídicos, elaborar um ontologia da fome ou, pelo menos, os primeiros elementos desse ontologia que poderia liderar uma mudança importante sobre a origem do sentido ética da fome

Full textThe etching works of Felicien Rops (1833-1898), Belgian artist whose career mainly took place in France, find a lot of their expressional and inspirational ways from various aspects of the fin de siècle literary fact. In addition to the fringing position Rops chose in the art field of his time, conceiving strategies, in order to strengthen the scarceness and oddness of etching works known for their eroticism and satanicism, Rops's esthetical creation is mostly built throughout the company of the literary circle and texts. Through the books Rops illustrates, the texts he use as legends or mottos on the very proves, through the works and characters in literature as well as in theological and mythical field with which he feeds his works, the picture gains such a legibility that it becomes a genuine visual discourse. The picture thus is caught as a theoretical and fictional resource for critics and writers of the time while Rops investigates amid his correspondence a literary style that enables him to broadcast via a private medium a singular esthetic thought and to create a substitute of literary works

Full textEven more than the turn of the century, the inter-war period has been perceived as a difficult transition from an old world to a new order, when most convictions came under attack of an ambient skepticism. The type of litterature that has been termed "modernist", owing to its often arresting originalty, helps us to account for certain characteristics of the english society over the period. There, we can find the expressions of mimetic conducts (fastly developing at that time), as well as a resistance to their corruptive effects (in the form of a desire to come back to a traditional and strongly hierarchized order partly founded on sacrificial rituals). The study is informed by rene girard's theses. The list of works under study includes thomas sterne eliot ("the waste land", "four quartets", the family reunion), aldous huxley ("the defeat of youth", eyeless in gaza, those barren leaves), james joyce ("couterparts", ulysses), david herbert lawrence (mr noon, lady chatterley, women in love, "the ladybird", the plumed serpent), katherine mansfield ("the garden party" and other short stories), ezra pound (the cantos and some of his early poetry), virginia woolf (orlando a biography, the waves), and william butler yeats

Full textR. Roussel’s work is double. If it ever kept the critic's attention for its poetical qualities and the power of its imaginary, it was also used as a reference for the modern aesthetic movements from surrealism to the new novel. This is what conduces to putting it in the article of a literary feat and puts it in the middle of many contradictions. Are the reasons for this work questioning the critic in relationship with the aesthetic subjectivity of the author? The solution for this question fostered the archaeological research. How was this poetical work set up? What were its patterns? F. Coppee influence on the poems was important though Roussel tried himself at a novelist search until the poem "Une page du folklore breton" indicated a transcendence of the versified writing and started the opportunity of a prose narration built upon puns. Probing closely the four prose works from "Impressions d'Afrique" to "la Poussiere de soleils" all written by the means of what Roussel called "le procédé", the archaeology could make obvious that by many reasons the Roussellian aesthetic was inhereted from the 19th century and did not really forecast modernity. In the same way the very intricated topies of the being and machine echoing the strict games of the work games allowed to stress how Roussel's imaginary worked. With "Documents pour servir de canevas". The question of incompletion was set opening the archaeology on a series of stylistic problems. The other side of this study couldn't be unaware of the strategical size of the man of letters "metier" as Raymond Roussel imaginated it, of the three directions he gave it when becoming contributor to "Le Gaulois du dimanche", Lemerre publication and having his work play on the boulevard stages. Between this imaginary and this strategy, R. Roussel's work illustrated a certain idea of literature which is no more Hugo’s, not yet Breton’s but allows the understanding of the transition from the one to the other

Full textSince ancient Greece, the music and literature concepts have always been linked. In fact, this relationship had started from the consequence of several aesthetic affinities that coordinate as much as one structure and one materializes the data to expose. In other words, literature has always served as a structure or support the twentieth century to say the language phenomena including mathematics, data processing and many other fields. Also, the musical aesthetics essentially containing the rhythmic codes including “figures de silence”, acoustic codes (music notes, musical instruments), the frequency of notes, especially their height and amplitude; under the musical form of the narrative structure that’s mean, semantic and discursive articulation of words and phrases that actually conceal codes music, reveals a kind of overflow of the literary text.....So, this work of correspondence between the semantic and discursive discontinuity text of the twentieh century (contaminated by the codes of music) and the creation of a musical game that will help us better understand the link between literature and music....

Full textOur collective representation of the « fait divers » underwent considerable revision in the early 1980s, as Marine M’Sili points out : « from being universally decried, denounced and censured, [it] sees its status change to the point of taking on a positive value », even among the intellectual elite. At the same time, according to Dominique Viart, literature takes on a new « transitivity »; it is no longer self-sufficient but requires a direct object, the world. These two developments provide a meeting ground where new and more frequent interactions between literature and the « fait divers » can take place. This thesis builds on these insights but aims more specifically to demonstrate the significance of the changes that the criminal « fait divers » undergoes as it is recycled in contemporary French literature. The sample corpus includes twenty-five representative works, all published in the period from 1990 to 2012. Through an analysis of investigation procedures and their influence, and an exploration that is part literary criminology and part commemoration of the victims, the thesis demonstrates the richness and diversity of the literary « fait divers » today. Indeed, the revival of interest in the topic, in tune with advances in the humanities, has for the most part broken both with the realist aesthetics of the nineteenth century and with the twentieth century’s more playful and experimental approaches. Many writers have also abandoned the traditional paraliterary and media representations of an archaic monstrosity in favour of a broader socio-historical reflection and more pointed questioning of the monstrousness that lies at the very heart of our humanity

Full textThis thesis concentrates on the observation and analysis of places, people and acts of religion in Greek fiction. Charito, Xenophon Ephesius, Longus, Achilles Tatius and Heliodorus have produced suprisingly similar novels given that they were written at quite different times, although they still resist every attempt at religious generalisation. Traditionnal studies on the subject are symbolistic, on the contrary, here we will analyse the concrete aspects of religion, as they actually appear in these novels. So we will study the sacred places, the priests, and the rituals performed out by the novel's characters. The comparison of these fictionnal cults with archeological findings and religious conceptions from Imperial and Classical times will allow us to mesure the novelist's reconstruction of a reality, pertaining to their present or their past. The respective value given in these novels to sacrifice and prayer, to collective and individual cults shows some modern aspects of Greek religion in the Imperial era. If put in relation with the rhetorical and dramatic use of religion, this will also provide elements to define each novelist's religious, political but also esthetic project

Full textEating is an existential act. Food is a particular feature of George Tabori's theatre. His autobiographical and comic plays and performances are aimed at upsetting the actors and spectators' guts in an untamed, sensual, intimate, multilayered way. Inspired by Bertolt Brecht, Lee Strasberg and the Gestalt-therapy, Tabori works with his actors on sensual and emotional memory introducing real food during rehearsals. He focuses on hunger and melancholy in The Cannibals (1968) dedicated to his father who died in Auschwitz. This disturbing Holocaust memory play shows starvation in the death camps and the culinary obsessions of the deportees trying to find comfort in "stomach masturbation". Tabori juxtaposes the accounts given by Holocaust survivors. Primo Levi's testimony is his main source as are biblical texts, Shakespearian scenes (King Lear and Titus Andronicus) and kitchen recipes. Refusing food is one of the main themes in Hunger Artists (1977), a short story by Kafka, staged by the Bremer Theaterlabor. During the preparation of this play, Tabor's group invokes an acrimonious esthetical and political discussion. The actors had started fasting in order to understand Kafka's Hunger Artist, who refuses to eat, but were forbidden by the deputy-mayor in charge of culture to continue this collective experiment. In his last play Gesegnete Mahlzeit (2007), Tabori "heats up" three texts which portray insatiable characters in search of happiness. The play is made of three scenes depicting meals: Franz Kafka's last breakfast with his lover Milena, a business lunch and Don Juan's Last Supper with a constipated prostitute

Full textBased on internal analysis of the Ab Vrbe Condita and systematic study of the passages evoking sacred places and objects, rituals and ceremonies, deviant religious practices and manifestations of the gods, this thesis aims to show how Livy represents Roman religion and how his subjectivity, assumed as necessary, underpins this reconstruction as much as the scrupulous account of objective facts. Beyond the apparent opportunistic fluctuations of a dispersed subject matter and details attributable to the historical context of the writing, a coherent image emerges : sincere piety incorporating political motives, the divine sphere's power of attraction extending beyond the technical sense of the terms involved to become an all-pervading atmosphere, the benevolence and retributive justice of the immortals, the refusal of direct divine intervention, the fundamental nature of the religious in the theory of historical causality. Livy sets up flexibility and implicitness as a system of thought
Miller, Blaise Anne-Marie. "Le verbe fait image : iconoclasmes, écriture figurée et théologie de l'Incarnation chez les poètes métaphysiques : le cas de George Herbert." Paris 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA030131.
Full textThe period of time which stretches between the two phases of violent iconoclastic destruction in Early Modern England also corresponds to the development of a new « metaphysical » poetics characteristically known for its striking conceits. The purpose of this study, which is devoted to George Herbert, will be to show how his poetry can become endowed with some of the properties usually ascribed to the religious image. The rhetorics of iconoclasm shape Herbert’s attempt to convert and purify poetry. Whereas past and future iconoclastic destruction testifies to a deeper crisis of the notion of image, George Herbert seeks to recreate it internally through a poetics of discordia concors whose model is the Incarnation. By distancing himself, as many other contemporary poets, from certain long-standing approaches to figurative language, he reclaims for poetry the power to body forth the divine. Such a recovery of resemblance is not only made possible through the « figure of transport », the metaphor, but aslo through an iconic use of writing. Thus Herbert is able to suggest the unspeakable and the transcendance of God

Full textWe choose to reconcile referential criticism, founded on the historical reality present into the literary text with esthetical criticism, which points out archetypal foundation. Our purpose is to demonstrate that, upon obvious references to the past and especially to the contemporary history, the structure of three short stories compilation written by provincial gentlemen is invested with ideological message, by having recourse to literary traditions which they comply with or change. The study of prologues, places where the authors speak about their own works, shows the mythical complexion of the country society described by N. Du Fail, the quest made by theyver's talkers into a castel, the exemplary complexion of the clerical and nobiliary polemic talled by V. Habanc. Every one aspires to the perennity of the aristocratic community, whether by going back to landed and feudal values, or by surrendering the warlike virtues of french nobility and by the research of a provincial neo-platonic and pacific concept of life, or by an individual and collective policy of moderation which must open on a noble and european unity
Pakrevan, Diana. "Représentations du fait divers dans le théâtre français (1969-2004)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040223.
Full textMany contemporary playwrights show a surprising interest for that particular type of news item that French journalism calls Ŗfait diversŗ, which has a bad reputation for being anecdotal, arousing a morbid curiosity in the spectator and being difficult to characterise because of the variety of subjects it treats. The main focus of this work is that, through Ŗfait diversŗ, theatre seeks confrontation with mass media and redefines itself, reconsidering its role. Through the analysis of the dramatic structures (space, time, action, language) of about fifty French plays published after 1968, this study aims at answering three questions: what representations of the world do media and theatre propose through Ŗfait diversŗ? What are the respective modes of representation? What is the function of theatre stemming from them and how does it depart from the one of mass media? This thesis also includes twenty-five interviews with playwrights and an anthology

Full textTraditional approachs of hunger problem prove to be fals when they are compared to facts : they consist in explaining persistence of hunger either by political facters (a so-called responsability of the rich countries) or by pseudo-scientific factors (climate and excess population). Thevefore, proposed solutions, nutritional self-sufficiency and with control, can't ingrove nutritional situation because they are not appropriate. The reality is that one must distinguish between different forms of hungers, from chronic malnutrition to famines. Althrough each of them reach peoples whose social status makes them consider as inferior, they can't be identifically resolved : if new economic and social polities, really reaching to improve nutritional situation, are necessary to solve chronic malnutrition, only peace and democraty could eliminate famines which occur today only for political reasons. Hunger has becoming a weapon used by the south against the south. Using concrete examples and field-analysis, this thesis realises a new approach on a subject whose economists too often let to the medias : hunger in the world

Full textOften republished from 1559 to the eighteenth century, « histoires tragiques » may be read as a fashionable genre, but not theorized at the time. These texts repeat the same topoi, playing with different narrative models and fashionable genres like romances, historical stories, prodigious stories, essays, and mixing them together. Constantly repeating the same title, all these stories telling gruesome bloody and sometimes unbelievable events, try to frighten and astonish the readers, even though they proclaim exemplarity and moralisation as purpose. Representing a paroxystic vision of crimes and passions, tragical stories obviously refer to the genre of tragedy, but they go beyond the theatrical form and become more like spectacular stories or « pictures ». The commercial success of this genre can be explained by the interaction between the reader’s bloodthristy tastes and the authors, who need to write for their living. « Histoires t! ragiques » can be considered as the ancestors of horror novels and short stories, because they invented a model of sensational story, more popular because of their excessive dimension than because of their exemplarity or moralisation

Full textMarguerite Duras has generated such an academic interest over the past few years that it may seem unoriginal to offer yet another work about her novels. However, it appears that one important theme of her work is not addressed much: the cooking and more precisely the hunger which indicates a void.Marguerite Duras loved to cook, her house had to have all the ingredients noted on a list. Always ready to host, she used to compare cooking to a writing act : choosing her topics like her ingredients and isolating herself to concoct the perfect meal for her readers. Cooking, like writing, is first and foremost a solitude affair, before being an invitation to travel and share. Marguerite Duras has definitely thought of her literature as a moment of conviviality.If meal time scenes are omnipresent in Duras’ novels, they mainly allow an anthropologic approach. Reading up Duras’s stories is a way of learning more about the evolution of the female body and the women social status of the half century spanning from 1943 to 1993 (from her first to her last novel). From a literary point of view, it is a way to discover an endless work, as the end of one novel reveals the beginning of the next, offering a narrative structure based on hospitality and conviviality, inviting the reader to take place in this literary travel that changes the usual reading way. Studying the fantasy of hunger is first of all discovering a writing of sharing, one of transmission by assimilation of a blunt phrasing, showing a simplicity and restraint of the word that goes straight to the point : make it simple in order to reach more people.Hunger is a way to address the foundation of Marguerite Duras’s fictional writing, the one that doesn’t change the meaning of the words but of the matter, in order to fulfil the readers’ expectations
Kiès, Nicolas. ""Rencontrer en devisant" : La conversation facétieuse dans les recueils bigarrés des années 1580 (Du Fail, Cholières, Bouchet)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040091.
Full textDialogued works, hybrid in form and presenting a variety of tone, make their appearance around the year 1585, in the Contes et discours d’Eutrapel by Noël du Fail, Cholières’ Matinées and Apresdisnées, and Serées, by Poitou-native printer and bookseller, Guillaume Bouchet. Inspired by a potentiality offered by Boccaccio’s Decameron, the authors place the accent on the practice known as “devis”, or conversations that are started up in a storytelling mode. These “contes et discours bigarrez” alternate snatches of novellas, pleasant anecdotes and teasing mockery with more serious material, including historical notes, edifying apophthegms and legal developments. In a curious mélange, the art of “rencontrer” (being witty) is offset by showy erudition. At the crossroads of the history of literary forms and sociability, the notions of “facétie” and “devis” enlighten the singularity of these texts, in both poetic and social terms. The genre of humanistic witticism is increasingly integrated, while philosophical dialogue gives way to agile conversation, which redefines the relation between joking and learning. In describing the reactions of the persons addressed, these texts also invite research into the sociability and the civility codes of the day. At a time when the kingdom is rife with civil wars, these facetious or witty conversations are original models for coexistence, where freedom of speech, playful clashes and paradoxical agreements play leading roles. Part urbane, part countrified, between courteous and bawdy, an important turning point in the history of conversation is reached here, on the eve of the Grand Siècle
Murcia, Thierry. "Jésus dans la littérature talmudique." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012AIXM3076.
Full textThis study presents a survey and a systematic analysis of the passages of Talmudic literature (Mishna – Tosefta – Palestinian Talmud – Babylonian Talmud – Midrashim), relative to Jesus or are supposed to be. The documents are examined, criticized and confronted to other sources of Jewish or Christian origin (Hellenistic Jewish literature, Jewish Apocrypha, rabbinic sources, Targumim, Toledot Yeshu – New Testament, Apostolic Fathers, Church Fathers). The investigation tries to answer to several questions: - What did the rabbis exactly know about Jesus? - Has their information any historical value? - Has their perception undergone some evolution? - Did the rabbis of the Talmud have access to the Gospels as a written source? The conclusion of this thesis is that all these documents are rooted in their Sitz im leben. They obviously attest – contra Peter Schäfer (Jesus in the Talmud, 2007) – that the rabbis had no direct acquaintance with the Gospels as written documents. This study also shows, concerning the Babylonian Talmud, that all the passages relative to Jesus belong to the last editorial layer of this corpus (VIIe-VIIIe century)
Eluther, Ena. "L'africanité dans la littérature caribéenne." Thesis, Le Mans, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013LEMA3001.
Full textCan the africanity of caribbean cultures come down to distant survivals, or constitute the foundation of these cultures ? Literature, as a mirror of peoples, as a painting of cultures, as art, allows to perceive the cultural and literary continuity between the african continent and its caribbean diaspora. The comparison of english-speaking and french-speaking novels from the Caribbean and from West Africa and Central Africa shows common cultural features and literary topoi from one area to the other : colonial trauma, protection and adaptation of ancestral legacy, common spiritual values, linguistic problematics, paintings of resistance struggles in which the writer himself is in the frontline. This comparative study, which sometimes draws from caribbean and african oral literature, as from caribbean spanish-speaking literature, suggests that one should view the afro-caribbean cultural expressions as an extension of african cultural expressions, offering in this way a large panorama of the cultural and literary black world. From 1921 to the early years 2000, this analysis takes into account the changes of african and caribbean literatures and the societies they represent. Have the changes definitively broken the african civilizational unity, the cultural links between Africa and the Americas ? On the contrary, the reading of the novels of the corpus shows an homogeneous and coherent picture of cultural and literary expressions of Africa and its caribbean diaspora, so doing putting Africa back into the center of caribbean culture

Full textThe subject of this thesis is the research of the contribution of the antique latin abusive literary practise to the social complexity and to the imaginative world. The thesis develops, in three distinct parts, a statistical, linguistic, literary and sociological study of the abusive terms in all the literary genres (125 texts and 50 authors) from IIIrd century BC to the fell of Rome in 475. It includes : - Abuses and Latin language (Volume I). Through a corpus of 1370 words and 2344 quotations, the author studies the different types of abusive words, their origins, constructions, senses and how they are employed in the latin sentences. - Abuses and latin literature (Volumes II and III). The author lists the uses (frequency and density) of abusive terms in theatre, in speeches, in poetry and in prose (philosophical or political studies, novels, correspondence. . . ). He studies the role and the functions of abuses in the texts and the connection they have with poetry, rhetoric and eloquence. - Abuses and antique roman Society (Volume IV) where is analyzed the social field of abuses according to the social groups, the Men/Women relations and the different forms of the practice of abusing naming. A special chapter is devoted to the antique roman imaginative world of abuses. The conclusion is about the civilizing role of abuses as welle in the antique Rome as in our collective unconscious. The corpus of words and quotations is detailed in a lexicon Latin-French and an index French-Latin (tome V). The lexicon is also available in. Pdf format as a CD-Rom
Benachir, Hynde. "Le "haiku" dans la littérature hispanique." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BOR30036/document.
Full textThe purpose of this thesis is set at a crossroads between linguistics and literature since it is about the haiku in Hispanic literature, which we aim to characterize as a poetic form in the Spanish-speaking literary context and as a "prototype" of the brief from the perspective of its discursive and enunciative terms. Traditionally associated with Japanese culture, in which it takes root, the haiku is one of the shortest poetic forms in the world. With its seventeen syllables in all, it compels to the greatest thoroughness in the choice of words, a concise expression and a "condensation" of the meaning that make it a succint poem, often to be pondered after reading. Neither verse nor rhyme are part of the metrical constraints of the Japanese haiku. Its aesthetics, influenced by Zen Buddhism, aims to be contemplative, supported by the subjectivity of the poetic voice, which appears as a "witness of the world", only transposing facts that are sometimes "unimportant", often trivial, yet nonetheless a part of any person's daily life. In Western poetry, the haiku has no equivalent, owing as much to its brevity as to its "puristic" aesthetics. However, it should be noted that it is strongly represented in contemporary Hispanic literature. Neither the Orientalism from the beginning of the XXth century nor the poetic re-assessments started by the Modernists and carried on by the Avant-Garde movements are enough to explain this enthusiasm of the Spanish-speaking poets for this Japanese poem. Indeed, Hispanic literature took hold of this literary phenomenon as soon as the first translations of Japanese anthologies were published, in the 1910s. There is, however, no linguistic connection between the haiku and Spanish-speaking poets. Nevertheless, the first collections of haikus also date back to the 1910s, which indicates that there was no latency between the appearance of the haiku and its adaptation into Spanish. Starting from these observations, we attempted, through a multi-focal approach notably based on literal analysis, to retrace this poetic form's literary and linguistic path, from the Japanese rice paper rolls to the so-called "Hispanic" haiku
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 textThe 2008 global food crisis, characterized by soaring world food prices and "hunger riots" in several countries of the South, is putting the political and epistemic foundations of global hunger governance to the test. This crisis has reinforced the credibility of alternative visions of the world hunger problem (right to food, food sovereignty) that challenge the dominant paradigm, that of global food security. Born following the 1974 world food crisis, the latter has established itself in international organizations (FAO, World Bank, Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)) through certain disciplines (neoclassical economics, genetics) and quantifications (international statistics, global models), as well as a hierarchy of international agricultural law dominated by the GATT.The thesis focuses on the efforts of advocates of food sovereignty and the right to food to transform the dominant paradigm by co-producing with these international organizations - which are opening up to non-state actors in an unprecedented way during the 2008 crisis - new knowledge and new metrological and legal instruments. At the end of these processes, the global food security paradigm remains defended by several powerful States, benefiting from the renewed support of agri-food companies and philanthropic foundations, while having internalized some of the criticism received. It also benefits from the lock-in of different instruments that are studied in the thesis (expert reports, quantifications, international law). In parallel, the right to food and food sovereignty are being institutionalized in these international organizations through these new instruments, that some critical actors see as the milestones of a new paradigm "in the making".The thesis is based on a multi-site and multi-level ethnographic survey conducted among experts from international organizations (FAO, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, World Bank), French diplomacy within the UN Committee on World Food Security, international social movements and NGOs, and multinational agri-food companies and philanthropic foundations. It also analyses written sources: press database; archives; and grey literature.The thesis mobilizes the neo-institutionalist theory of fields, in order to capture a controversial global governance through the prism of competition between instruments. Thus, it differs from work based on the theory of international regimes, mobilized both in political science (with epistemic communities) and in Science & Technology Studies (through the co-production between politics and knowledge regimes). It shows the interest of an approach to co-production between science and politics located at the scale of the instruments of global governance, which are the stakes of struggles to acquire a form of epistemic jurisdiction. It also analyses the drivers of the persistence and change of international paradigms, complementing the entry by epistemic communities with a look at the instruments and the locking effects they produce, but also the "grasps" they offer to institutionalize alternatives. Finally, it completes the diagnosis of the fragmentation and privatization of international agricultural policies, by showing the growing weight of non-state actors (civil society, but also agri-food companies, and the Gates Foundation) in the making of global instruments of "world hunger"

Full textThis study, entitled “dramaturgy and morals”, looks at the dramatization of moral values in the comedies of Menander and Plautus. I employ an approach that identifies which values are evoked and looks at how they are conveyed and structured in relation to one another. The aim is to analyse how they are treated and the place that is accorded to them. Are they subjected to reflection, affirmed, or critiqued? Thus what is at stake is less about finding the “morals” in the plays or their supposed moral message, but rather delineating the architectonics of values in these comedies. This study will focus more specifically on axiology, that is to say the form that moral evaluation takes in the comedies of Menander and Plautus. According to which criteria is this evaluation carried out? What is at stake in this evaluation?The concept of value, as it appears in the comedies of Menander and Plautus, entails essentially three domains: the material, the symbolic, and the ethical. The issue at hand is understanding how they are conceived of and related to one another in the comedies of Menander and Plautus. Such a perspective intersects with the question of the relationship between personal interest and the interests of others, a key concern in Ancient philosophy which seeks to discover to what extent an ethical agent is obliged to take into consideration others in order to achieve happiness. The first section is concerned with the concepts of moral values and trade. It looks at two types of trade: commercial trade, which outlines the primacy of utilitarian morals, and communal trade, which is based on co-operative values. The second section deals with the idea of contravention. It examines the procedures used to judge a particular action. The third section looks at comedy as ethical experimentation

Full textSince the 80s, the postcolonial literatures have been raising increasing interest. Through a corpus of francophone and anglophone novels (from Chamoiseau, Condé, Kourouma, Waberi, Naipaul, Okri, Roy and Rushdie), this study intend to give a clear definition of the notion of hybridity, which is often associated to these literatures. Then, it analyses the way this hybridity is expressed in the novels and tries to show in which way it inscribes itself in an identity strategy. Postcolonial novels, with their diverse and sometimes contradictory heritage, are born on shaky ground, especially as their intended audience is often complex and as they often depend on recognition from Europe. They are peripheral literatures, whose place and legitimacy are not guaranteed. As such, they need to specify their context of enunciation all the more carefully and to develop a very specific scenography. It appears that these literatures rely on an ethos of loss, which is certainly felt as a suffering, but also as liberating. The hybrid also questions the notion of belonging. Embodiment of many identity aporias, it forces to think anew the traditional references. Finally, hybrid discourse, pervaded by perpetual negociation, sets itself up to be a new discourse, the reflection of the today’s changing world. Rather than to represent the identity crisis exclusively as the unhappy condition of the postcolonial individual, the postcolonial literatures turn it into a privileged position from which to elaborate new ways to be in the world

Full textThe Horn of Africa has a traditional oral literature which is rich and varied as the rest of the continent, starting from pastoral mythology to poetry, legend and storytelling. But with the social upheaval which occurred with the arrival of European settlers and the introduction of writing, the chain of transmission of the oral tradition is threatened. Many Europeans have sought to describe the habits and customs of these people. Whereas on the other hand, the writers from the Horn of Africa are often inspired by giving it (orality) and a new way of doing it. The following research work strives to reflect traditional forms of orality and their impact on modern literature

Full textLe plan de la thèse est conçu comme un parcours débutant et s’achevant aux confins du monde (le cannibalisme de « l’Autre »), tandis que le cœur du travail est consacré au cannibalisme de « l’intérieur », celui des affamés et des marginaux surtout. Tout naturellement, l’attention se focalise d’abord sur Homère et la confrontation d’Ulysse avec le Cyclope, qui installe dans la tradition l’imaginaire du pasteur des confins du monde, grand amateur de chair humaine. Hérodote, quant à lui, construit l’image d’un monde connu dont les frontières sont occupées par des peuples qui apprécient bien souvent la chair humaine. Là encore, le pasteur nomade est synonyme de sauvagerie. Une telle tradition perdure chez les auteurs latins antiques et médiévaux, qui reprennent à leur compte les anciens anthropophages en les déplaçant parfois, en les multipliant éventuellement. Mappae mundi médiévales, récits de voyage et descriptions du monde maintiennent dans les siècles qui suivent les mangeurs de chair humaine aux marges du monde, là où Colomb s’attendra plus tard à les trouver.
Le rôle du cannibalisme en tant que marqueur d’altérité trouve un écho très fort dans la marginalisation de certains groupes ou individus au sein même des sociétés antiques ou médiévales. A notamment été développé le cas des accusations de cet ordre portées contre les premiers Chrétiens. Le danger représenté par le franchissement de la norme fait naître par inversion des pratiques ou des croyances qui visent à exploiter les potentialités curatives ou « magiques » de la consommation de substances humaines :en témoignent le controversé cannibalisme médical ainsi que le matériel offert par les pénitentiels médiévaux. Un bref chapitre s’attache à un autre genre de comportements en marge :des scènes de cannibalisme censées avoir constitué le point culminant d’épisodes de violence collective.
Une grande attention a été accordée au cannibalisme de survie, le recours à la chair humaine comme nourriture de substitution en période de famine. Le passage de l’incompréhension antique face à un comportement indigne de l’homme à l’assimilation par la pensée chrétienne de ce type de cannibalisme à un fléau divin a été largement traité. La longue tradition médiévale des récits, issus de Flavius Josèphe, relatant la consommation d’un enfant par sa mère au cours du siège de Jérusalem a permis de démontrer la force de la présence du thème du cannibalisme dans l’imaginaire médiéval en tant que sanction divine. Une ample documentation a pu être réévaluée à la lumière de ce constat, ce qui a notamment permis de montrer de quelle façon l’évocation du cannibalisme pouvait être instrumentalisée afin de signifier la présence d’une sanction divine.

Full textThis thesis schematizes, in Malicroix by Henri Bosco, the process that presides to the writing of the novel itself. Using a poietic approach, we consider the text as a writer’s poetic that takes a fictional form. A phenomenological perspective allows us to study the novel from the point of view of perception, and mythocritique enables us to reflect on the perception of the world – especially the world of the text – through the angle of the sacred and its symbols. Reconstructing the horizontal and vertical structures of the novel, we reflect on diverse aspects of the text and of the scriptural process. The reading horizon constitutes the first chapter of our thesis and offers a triple view on the novel: the story and the characters, the spatiotemporal context and the mythical point of view. In the second chapter are elaborated two central notions, the figures and the chronotopes. Two groups of figures emerge, one associated with the writer as creator of the text and the other, with the process of expression. The figures play distinct roles in the conception and expression and are represented in Malicroix by way of the characters. The chronotopes study divides the novel in eleven times-spaces that constitute the basis of the figures’ progression through the text. The third chapter details how the figures cross the chronotopes’ series, drawing the scriptural route inscribed in eleven successive situations in the text. The last chapter contains two parts. The first examines the writer’s poetic that Bosco published under the title « L’exaltation et l’amplitude ». The second, which constitutes the final objective of our study, integrates the elements of this writer’s poetic in the eleven successive situations, producing a description of the stages of the scriptural process followed by Bosco while writing Malicroix.

Full textFrom the 16th Century until the 20th, le troyan myth emerges in a variety of forms in French literature with famous or less known works but of equal significance as they convey the climate and the spirit of an era. The reason why all of these writers go into mythology could be partly explained by the imitation of ancients applied to the French letters of the 16th and 17th centuries. How this material is transformed, what the writers are expressing through the legends and the myths, which is the relationship of the transformed materiel with the initial, are some of the questions that this research is requested to explore. During the period of the Absolutism in which the freedom of expression is limited, the myth is proved to be a secure means which offers the security of the distance, the suitable frame and the flexibility of the mythological material which are processed by the creators. It becomes the vehicle of doubt and criticism of various grades against authority. The end of this political period removes from the myth this function. But it doesn’t stop its use in literature and the theater. This is because the myth is capable of putting again questions for the vital causes which deal with the human race, such as the woman, the war, the xenophobia

It is all the more evident as the impeded world always sets its seal to the human destiny from sheere silence to a sibylin ot veiled discourse or else a temporarily impossibl utlerance: it is afantastic stepping-stone to the attainment of knowledge, to the happy development of personality, and to the revival of genuine and promising speech a recall of the divine model. Repress the flow of speech and it tells better: actually this is what all those romances paradoxically teach and this lesson is to foundin their advancingnarrative as well as in their rhetoric. Indeed, the writers themselves constantly seem to restain their discourse, to stopi to hold it in; but is pnlu have it guessed, or even supplied by the reader following an infernal process of addition. The paradox which appears between the huge amount of writing in the arthurian literature and the way words are refrained stands merely as a semblance: when performed in the fiction of romances the speech keeps being hindered and therefore the stream of the words used in the arthurien book runs endlessly

Full textThe Byzantine general Belisarius is simultaneously a great conqueror and a blind beggar, a historical personage and a figure of legend. He appears repeatedly in literature and the arts across Europe from the sixth century to the present. His importance has been noted before, but up till now he has never been the object of a broad and far-reaching synthesis. The present study, which is based on a vast bibliographical investigation of major and minor sources, retraces more than fifteen hundred years of history of the theme, emphasising in particular its legacy in French literature. It is important to show just how universal this forgotten figure once was, and this study maps out definitively the history of a hero who became a myth during his very long peregrinations. Its point of departure, still famous today, is the treatment of Belisarius during the Enlightenment

A literary corpus will be used to study migrations and amalgamations within societies living in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Caribbean writers have always been very concerned with History, and their attempts to describe their own society have been a constant phenomenon since the early 20th century. Thanks to this thesis, we will try to see whether all the contributions brought along via migratory movements toward, inward and outward Caribbean have been acknowledged by the culture of the host countries. The study is divided in three parts: the first will present the concepts and the historical background alluded to in the novels and short stories, the second will consist in a textual analysis, the third will focus on some authors' points of view. Marta Rojas, Luis López Nieves and Marcio Veloz Maggiolo have been asked five questions about Caribbean literature, their own oeuvre and their sources of inspiration. Thanks to their answers, we will try to figure whether nowadays Caribbean literature should be considered as one or many

Full textScientific medicine sees only mechanical bodies, it doesn't see the inner desires. Bodies live everyday trhough a number of obscure phenomenon : emotions, tiredness, pain. Literature, as born from the desires of the writing subject, on the entwined borders of world and language, gives us a subtle approach on life's experiments, through the analogical link reading is. Let us read jean reverzy's fatigue, marguerite duras' douleur, j. M. G. Le clezio's feverish emotions, or thomas mann. Literature's alchemy tells us about the pains of mind; what does it say about physical illnesses (cancer, aids)? with herve guibert and other writers, technical medicine comes into literature. Along with aids, irrationality, causality, fear of strangers are back, as in the time of plague and lepers. But what of the physician's pain, his disgust over the scarred body ? what can be his reaction to disgust ? to the other person's death, a forecast of his own ? the works of several doctor-writers explore the mysteries of patient-doctor relationship and restore that part of the physician's self which had been held back, day after day, by his medical practice. Doctor-writers stand on a tight line between caring for the others and caring for one self; bertween curing the ill and secretly fighting for his own salvation

Full textBased on the features of mythological, historical and tradition ogres, this thesis questions the rehabilitation and timeliness of the myth of the ogre in a corpus of texts from the most varied French territories. The thesis is structured into five thematic chapters. The first chapter focuses on the birth of the ogre as myth and iconic character of culture and oral tradition in different territories. The second chapter discusses the regimes and tyrants which reign in the ogre: if "ogre" is the name for any tyrannical leader and dictator, he is represented in the texts by a variety of names and faces. In continuation of this research, the third chapter deals with the myth of the ogre from a social and familial perspective. The new avatars of the ogre in the contemporary are the fathers: destructive fathers, suffocating/degrading ones, and practitioners of a metaphorical cannibalism. Excessiveness lies in the violence with which they govern their families. In a Freudian perspective, the fourth chapter focuses on the relationship (sexual) impossible between parents and their offspring generated by symbolic castration, incest and sexual debauchery. The final chapter builds on the declination of the female ogre, ogress in the proposed body. Stunning character, which taking the most seductive forms, is inside only a monster ready to satisfy all her desires of any kind. The revival of the myth of the ogre in contemporary French prose is all too visible

Full textMagical realism, real marvellous, marvellous realism: notions extremely misread in France nowadays, or completely amalgamated in a terminological confusion almost as wide as the lexical field they cover. With this alarming acknowledgement in mind, and having noticed the recurrence of numerous common characteristics in texts which were related to them equally, we had as ambition in our work to offer a synthetic definition, under a global appellation of marvellous realism, a literary mode in full measure, distinct from the fantastic or from the marvellous in which it thinks however they are so often attached. For this reason, and to have a corpus which illustrates this enlarging sphere of influence in a rather broad way geographically, we leans on the texts of five authors coming from very different horizons : Haitian René Depestre, Mexican Juan Rulfo, of the Ivory Coast Ahmadou Kourouma, the native Indian writer, Salman Rushdie and one of first Gypsy writers, Matéo Maximoff. Their peculiar writings allowed us to arrest the literary aim of this mode, its impact on the renewal of the codes of representation of the real and beyond, its interest as far as the evolution of contemporary literature is concerned

Starting with the second main part the center of interest is the litterature in which remains the impact of the holly books concerning the travel and the originary truth azs well as the profane space and time which allow the passage to the initiation and the discovery of symbols of transcendance and the presence of the verb. In the third part, the absolute reality give way to the completness and the learning of the mystical act, conceived as a painful birth of the writing and therefore an exil to the life. At least the writing and therefore an exil to the life. At least the writing is a one-way trip, a destiny to take on and a light to reach in the alchimy of the perfect happiness
