Clermont, Célia. "Portraits de famille : Étude comparée du motif familial dans la fiction romanesque de la Grande Caraïbe aux XXe-XXIe siècles." Thesis, Lyon, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LYSES021.
Full textAn interdisciplinary and transcultural motif, the study of families has taken root in the genre of the novel. In Caribbean literature, there are but a few studies about the family pattern, despite the fact that the Caribbean area already constitutes a complex geographical family, painfully marked by colonization, slavery and the plantation system. This dissertation aims to study the various meanings of the representation of family, biological but also, figuratively, adoptive family, chosen family, spiritual family, etc. – in a trilingual corpus of texts made of four Caribbean fictional novels from the XXth and XXIst centuries: William Faulkner’s Sartoris, Cien años de soledad by Gabriel García Márquez, Patrick Chamoiseau’s Texaco and La eternidad del instante by Zoé Valdés. Within these four novels, the representation of the biological family soon reveals its dysfunctional dimension: rejected by the characters, fragilized by events, the family seems condemned to being dismembered. The failure allows for other relationships to form; far from being opposed to the way the original family was outlined, these relationships offer other ways to think about how to make a family. The passage from one family to the other allows to reflect upon, on the one hand, the question of familial identity on the part of the characters and, on the other, the relationship that Caribbean fiction writers have with the literary genealogy to which they wish to identify themselves
Buisson, Françoise. "Faulkner nouvelliste : tradition et modernité." Bordeaux 3, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997BOR30070.
Full textWilliam faulkner's short stories, which he regarded as pot-boilers, reveal his attachment to literary traditions, especially to the genre's conventions, to the realistic and oral traditions. Still, he deceitfully subverts these traditions and these plays with the intertext show his modernity. This modernity pervades the faulknerian text : the narrative technique, the representation of inner life mirror the chaos of modern times. Besides, the short fiction oscillates between shapelessness and formal compactness. Faulkner is yearning for the unity of a total work and his short stories constitute self-referential and intertextual constellations. By revising some myths, he wants to turn fiction into a new cosmos and to transcend the nothingness generated by modernity. In fact, although the structures and the style of his experimental short stories are definitely modern, historical modernity, which destroys nature and reifies men, is criticized by the writer. The latter is submitted to some economic constraints which lead him to denounce the dangers of materialism and mass culture. The description of the antebellum south is tinged with irony but also testifies to his conservatism, for he laments over the collapse of the chivalric tradition and a lot of characters feel nostalgic. Modern heroes and antiheroes wander in a divided world where woman often symbolizes evil. Yet, faulkner, though obsessed by purity, highlights the excesses of puritanism. Actually, this idealist rejects the nihilism that will characterize postmodernity and strives to find a code adapted to the modern world and based on the traditional values inherited from the christian and pioneer traditions
Iflahen, Fatima Zohra. "La femme comme force vitale dans l'œuvre de William Faulkner." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA040044.
Full textWilliam Faulkner’s women characters have a dominating presence which is symbolized throughout the author's work by woman's moral authority, her imagination and her good sense. This image is, in fact, a conscious and progressive construction which draws the setting for a representation that founds the self and a certain philosophy of being: through its quest of the woman, Faulkner’s literary experience is actually a way of reassessing the human condition. Actually, woman's engagement in actions that affirm life, her respect of nature or her preference of acts instead of words, make her bring the word of a certain vision of the world where transgression, suffering in the sake of the other, courage or endurance are the most significant symbolical forms of a voluntary, frank and courageous attitudes toward living. The faulknerian hero, on the contrary, is condemned to isolation, impotence and violence because he is incapable of assuming the corruption of the world because he turns his back on life in search of a transcendental heaven
Ivol, Alexandre. "Le roman du temps réel." Paris 3, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA030011.
Full textOur work is based on the questionning about the way the experience of Time is represented in William Faulkner's and James Joyce's works. For this, we exclusively focused our attention on the stream of consciousness technique which allows the main character's inward thoughts to take over the narrative process as well as the issue at stake. Our demonstration consists in justifying the idea according to which the use of stream of consciousness changes the initial data of the narrative by imposing a time scale which has no longer anything to do with that of fiction, but which emanates from real Time, that is to say time without ellipsis, taking into account both elements of objective reality ( the hero's environment ) and of subjectivity ( his thoughts ans perceptions ). In our opinion, this temporal revolution in the heart of narrative ( which shakes the conventionnal form of the naturalist novel to its foundations ) corresponds to the true definition of what modernity represents in literary terms

Full textThe topic of this study is Faulkner's imagery, considered as a specific language. Using concepts derived from structuralist and formalist criticism, this essay attempts to describe the vocabulary and syntax that characterize Faulkner's imagery, in order to determine the rules that explain the co-presence of some of these images within a specific textual unit and how they evolve as the narrative develops. The analysis focuses on defining a seminal signifying unit, both descriptive and narrative, out of which Faulkner's imagery unfolds through a complex network of reformulations and variations. Systematic textual study allows us to explore the various images that recur in Faulkner's poetry and fiction from 1919 to 1942: characters (mother and father images, lovers, doubling figures), settings (pastoral landscapes, ruins, rivers, the wilderness, etc. ) but also types of narratives (love quests, flight situations, confrontations, monument building, etc. ). The purpose of this analysis is to shed light on the relations that connect Faulkner's images and how these help create meaning in the text
Azerad, Hugues. "Un univers constelle : presence et confluences de marcel proust et de james joyce dans l'oeuvre de william faulkner." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA040284.
Full textThe aim of my study is to analyse the work of william faulkner through the prism of the double influence of james joyce and marcel proust. I have tried to analyse the components of faulkner's modernism by comparing them with the innovations brought about by proust and joyce. These themes are shared by the three authors so that the normal influence of the two earlier masters could be digested into confluence : the moment when faulkner started to build a cosmos of his own from his native imagination, using and distorting stylistic instruments which belonged to a european culture. The main line of my argument is that faulkner staged the natural conflicts which arise between the novel, time, space and its own language. Faulkner arrives at the same conclusion as proust in time regained : that time is a negative force as long as it is bound to the past and thus viewed in an edenic light. If time is the enemy, it cannot be excluded from the novel's own framework of which it forms an intrinsic and vital part. In faulkner, as in proust and joyce, time is abolished when fully accepted: when the longing to recapture it has ceased. I analyse the ways in which time is perceived by characters: from the prisoners of internal time to the prisoners of objective time. I then switch to the important concept of the spatialization of time which follows the attempt made by the three writers to exclude time, to shatter it. I finish with the exploration of the literary space of the three universes, which orbit the same clusters of images of modernity and archaicisms. By concentrating on the poetical means used to render literary space: i clarify which trope will produce art out of the traps of time and space. My conclusion focuses on metaphor as a way of fusing time and space, thus creating a universe within a universe, in which abstract feelings, divested of their fetters, could be fully lived, that is, fully expressed
Eyrolles, Stéphanie. "Explorer la faille : Identité et narration dans l'œuvre de William Faulkner." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016SACLV079/document.
Full textThis dissertation studies the issue of identity in several of William Faulkner’s novels (The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom! and Requiem for a Nun) and how characters attempt to retrieve a sense of self through narration. The characters’ belonging to the American South exacerbates their inner gap, which they then try to fill thanks to their story-telling. This study examines, through the prism of Ricoeur’s theory of mimesis, how these characters configure their world of action and project themselves mimetically into their narratives so as to achieve self-understanding through a hermeneutical process. However, the narrators under study are overwhelmed with a deconstructive impetus which sheds light on the indecisiveness of the language thanks to which they are trying to create a substitute identity. They thus become aware that language disseminates itself and that the presence they are attempting to create gives way as soon as it appears
Michel, Christian. "Pensée analogique et poétique du roman chez H. H. Jahnn, W. Faulkner et Cl. Silon : Perrudja, The Wild palms, Orion aveugle, Les Corps conducteurs, Triptyque, Leçon de choses." Paris 3, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA030089.
Full textThis study is concerned with the inscriptions of analogy found in the following novels : Perrudja and Perrudja 2 (1929/1958) by Hanns Henny Jahnn, The Wild Palms (1939) by William Faulkner, Orion aveugle (1970), Les corps conducteurs (1971), Triptyque (1973) and Leçon de choses (1975) by Claude Simon. Defined both as figure of thought and as poetic principle, analogy casts a new light on the composition of the novels, on their ways of connecting independent and unrelated narratives. The study of the transition loci helps elucidate four different configurations (fissure, syncinesy, gathering, uncoupling) which are generic and paradigmatic. It is then possible to specify what their effects on the structures of the narratives are and to make sense of their interrelations. These four distinct forms also represent three stages in a development (association, confusion, irruption) which happen to coincide, term by term, with those identified by the classical tradition (namely Aristotle) as part of analogical reasoning : proportion, analysis of likenesses and differences, transgression and invention. The analogical transference thus defines a new object, the analogical novel with its specific characteristics, both aesthetic and logical. The analogical novel makes sense in terms of a logic which is no longer, or not only, that of classical rationality. The analogical dynamic of meaning, which knows neither contradiction nor time, partakes of primary processes (Freud) : it erases discontinuities and restores narcissistic a-separation. However, the restoration of continuity comes second and analogy acknowledges and makes sense of primary discontinuities. Novelistic analogy is, thus, less a means of restoring the mythical state of undifferentiation typical of primary narcissism than a means of expressing nostalgia for it
Brugier, Julie. "Marginalité et communauté dans l'oeuvre romanesque de Maryse Condé, William Faulkner et Rachel de Queiroz." Thesis, Paris 10, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA100127.
Full textThis thesis aims at showing how the works of Maryse Condé, William Faulkner and Rachel de Queiroz develop a narrative poetics of community and marginality. Drawing on philosophy, sociology and postcolonial studies, it reflects on the ways community and marginality can be represented in the novel, whilst setting these concepts within specific political and sociological contexts. This work also strives to demonstrate the validity of a comparative approach of the literature from the Southern United States, the French West Indies and the Brazilian North East: these three cultural areas have been the subject of a growing body of academic work. The body of texts examined alternatively focuses on constructing and deconstructing the fictionalization of community. In these novels, fictional communities are founded on marginalization and mechanisms of power relation and domination, such behaviors in which the reader can become complicit. The complex narrative structures on which communities are laid on place the reader in an uncomfortable position, exposing the underlying violence of all hermeneutic practices. Therefore, these novels do not idealize the concept of community, so much as their pessimism fully disclosing the aporia within. It is thus only in a marginal manner that the fictions of community can be reinvented, acting as a minor and evasive counter-melody within the narratives
Harpin, Tina. "Inceste, race et histoire : fictions et contre-fictions de pouvoir dans les romans sud-africains et états-uniens des XXème et XXIème siècles." Thesis, Paris 13, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA131014.
Full textIncest, a notorious universal taboo, is an ancient protean theme in literature. According to Peter Thorslev, writers are drawn to this theme because of its powerful dramatization of the conflict between an individual's desire and that of the society. This theory is applicable to the past tradition of romanticism, but it doesn't take into account the complexity of incest fictions written in Twentieth-century novels. The «proliferation of discourses on sex within the context of power itself » described by Foucault, along with the development of the politics of race and eugenics, explain how the incest theme is intertwined with another controversial concept : « race ». Novels no longer depict an individual fighting against society when they portray incest, but they think of human groups trying to define themselves, often by way of race. Confronting incestuous characters is not a means of drawing an obscure symbolic line between the civilized and the savages, but among citizens and non-citizens. In South Africa and the United States of America, where political fictions had defined the nation as a perfect family to justify the exclusion of non-white people from the community of citizens, « counter-fictions of incest » examine in provocative ways how citizenship and rights are articulated. I question the incest theme – forbidden desire or sexual violation– in novels from 1929 to 2005, by American writers such as W. Faulkner, T. Morrison, R. Ellison, G. Jones, Sapphire and by South African authors like D. Lessing, B. Head, A. Dangor, M. van Niekerk, and L. Rampolokeng. I outline the aesthetic and political evolution of the incest theme in novels written in those societies where community, nation and « race » were particularly interconnected, while simultaneously reflecting on the omnipresent reality of the crime of incest in all societies
