Full textRepresentations and identities of African descent in Peru and Gabonese women in literature is a comparative study on the status of women in their respective societies. In either society, one cannot fully grasp the experience of these two categories of women without looking into their social status, their life and the role (specific or not) that they play in their different communities. In Peru, women of African descent are constantly hobbled by many stereotypes and prejudice. We are interested to know the forms they take in contemporary Peruvian literature. That is why the analysis of female characters in the literary texts selected for this study represents a crucial step toward questioning this stereotyping dynamics. More importantly, attempts to “deconstruct” this social malady by Gregorio Martínez through such works as Canto de sirena, Crónica de músicos y diablos and Cuatro cuentos eróticos de Acarí were also analized.In Gabon, on the other hand, women's condition, their social status and the discrimination that they have to face is mainly due to the dual effects of traditions and misogyny in the modern society. In such novels Histoire d' Awu (“The Story of Awu”) and Féminin interdit (“No females”) by Justine Mintsa and Honorine Ngou, the characters are portrayed as the victims of traditional society because of their lack of freedom. Because of certain customs, women are oppressed, and abused; “they are constantly silenced, denied humanity and made nonfunctional”. Thus, women being seen as a heavy burden for female characters because they usually seem to be tasked with carrying the suffering of all womankinds.Key words: Representations - Identities - Afro-peruvian women - Gabonese Women - Literature

Full textThis study of women’s problems as expressed linguistically, through word usage, is based on a corpus of representative works by Gabonese authors and its French title plays on the homonyms maux meaning « problems, predicaments », and mots, meaning « words ». The underlying methodology used here relies on Goldman’s and Duchet’s sociocritical approach combined with Charaudeau’s and Ratier’s discourse analysis and the interactional focus of Kerbrat-Orecchioni. The study determines that specific lexical and syntagmatic items (name words, titles, hypochoristic names, etc. ) are linked to a particular topology, that of Gabon, and they also highlight the levels and register of language which have been chosen by authors of different cultures, generations and sex. Moreover, grammatical categories (nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs) point to characteristic patterns of speech used by female characters. A comparison of the way these linguistic elements are used shows the diverse relationships of the authors to the langage they have chosen to write in

The education, one of the pillars colonial main part of the politics is a driving element the women of which have to be vectors in the realization of the civilizing mission. The formation of some and the obtaining of a diploma allow them to enter the public service where they exercise some rare accessible jobs.

Full textThis thesis gives voice to gabonese women's novels according to the new criticism approaches on french-speaking african women's literature. The critics are agree to recognize that women literary production bring a new breath to african literature, because the female writers don't restrict themselves by developing autobiographical stories, but they treat marginal questions and they're concerned about today's problems in their society. In regard to these considerations, we wanted to assess by questionong the novels, the extent of newness so often praise by the critics. For that reason, we relied on some elements liable to express this change. Gabonese novelists illustrate the new tendency of women's literature by their free speaking and by developing a new vision round about woman's body, her sexuality, her motherhood, her freedom aspiration, her filial and matrimonial connections. But at the same time, their writing follow the african way of writing. This one doesn't yet offer - in spite of recourse to oral art and other african forms of language - interesting perspectives, on expression viewpoint, who can lead to an african esthetic renewal
Orel, Francoise. "Pouvoirs de femmes dans les lieux." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LORR0231.
Full textThe issues of wandering, instability, and power are largely addressed today in literary, political, and scientific works that tend to examine them separately in a general way. In some cases it is possible to link these notions. The thesis is a comparative analysis of the spatio-temporal situation of eight heroines from various contemporary works, distinguished by their background and their cultural, geographical and social origins, but which are approaching by their instability and the nature of their powers, as opportunities for action, which they mobilize. The instability born of their evolution in the places (place of origin and place of passage or adoption) does not lead to a loss of oneself insofar as it impels the exercise of powers synonymous with openness, self-assertion, resistance. Power does not only involve action on oneself, but also on others, who react by opposing their own power according to Foucault’s theory. As a result, the powers of the heroines are circumscribed, their freedom is limited by the very existence of others, nevertheless they remain responsible for the actions they engage from a Sartrean point of view, they manage to acquire a real authority, proving that they exist and that they have a role to play in given spaces

Full textThis thesis is a re-reading of four novels by Ellen Glasgow, Virginia, Life and Gabriella, Barren Ground, and the sheltered life. It means to be faithful to the novelist's intentions and aims but not to analyse her fiction from a biographical perspective. My approach to the subject is a cultural one and is based on the novelist's avowed aim to write a social history of Virginia. The thesis is divided into two parts of unequal length which correspond to Glasgow’s twofold project, i. E. To denounce women's position in Virginian society from 1884 to 1924 (ch. 1 & 2) and to establish a system freeing women of bondage, based on their economic independence (ch. 3). Chapter 1 is devoted to the main principles on which the dominant ideology is based that defines woman both as an ideal and a biological body and maintains her in service and in a web of sentimental illusion. It also deals with Glasgow’s criticism of this ideology and studies its concrete and perverse effects: woman is kept in the domestic sphere and forbidden any access to knowledge; her very clothes are emblematic of her service, so is her inability to speak. Chapter 2 studies love, which in these novels invariably occurs at first sight. This choice of Glasgow’s enables her to denounce the influence of sentimental fiction and the far too great idealization that follows up. The chapter then examines the issue of marriage as necessity and illusion and focuses on the character of Eva Birdsong. Chapter 3 points out Glasgow’s claim for the equality of the sexes and her trust in woman's manifold abilities. It focuses on the heroines of life and Gabriella and Barren Ground who thanks to their will to power become successful business women yet retain a humanity Glasgow deems fundamental. It also shows how her way of thinking on the joint issues of economy and love became more radical as age wore on

Full textIn the analysis of feminine passions, this study has been most specifically concerned with psychological innovation in Balzac’s works. The study has covered a panoply of themes related to the oscillation of woman between ephemeral love and ever endless melancholy. This continuous struggle between the search for the absolute, the acquisition of fleeing joy that can hardly be seized gives an account of the ills of feminine destiny, the commensurable suffering of women who are trapped within the harsh laws of a patriarchal society. The purpose of this study has therefore been to analyze the exquisite sensitivity, the quality of affection, the innocence and purity of feelings and the coldness as well the tender joy, at times extreme of infantile euphoric and melancholic love or dark melancholic, the profound confusion, the pains of jealousy, the devouring passion, the atrocious suffering and pain, the frailty and the silence, the resistance and the rebellion of a multitude of young girls and women of the human condition through the omniscient eye of Balzac who analyzes feminine emotions. The study has revisited some aspects of the feminine conditions in Balzac’s fictional world, as well certain aspects of feminine psychology. The explosive and the blooming or the distress and frustration of all these feminine lives are translated into emotions more or less related to pleasure and displeasure

Full textOur study of Immigrated African women opens up the way to a new reading of the female character in novels and short stories by three women writers : Calixte Belaya, Leila Sebbar and Michèle Rotoson. This controversial subject of the African woman character arouses many crucial debates. African women have often been accused of having remained behind, compared to other women throughout the world. They need changes as much in their perception of things as in their implication in the development of their country. Education is one of the best way for them to acquire skills and essential qualities of a dynamic growth phase.It is thus necessary to return in the world of knowledge to think about her professional commitment and to arm herself of necessary tools as well for her personal fulfilment as for her own country. Obviously it is this context that a few women are devoted themselves to writing and to try to fight for coming out this dulling which freezes them up and prevent them from evolving in the modern society.So as part of this study for the end of my studies, I will analyse the career and practical experiences of African Women in Immigration. This work is based on novels and short stories written by women who inspired themselves from their daily lives to convey their helplessness which is often part of a migrant population. At the time when these novels were written, it was mainly men who motivated by the idea of a better job, migrated to France bringing along their wives and their children with them. It is anymore the case today. In our study we are going to follow the experiences of a few heroines of novels by revealing their successes and their failures. At the same time we are going to bring out the positive and negative influences of their social backgrounds, the striking and indelible facts which constitute the factors of personal and professional changes

Full textEven, the world of women seems to be very complex and subtle. In the roman antiquity, that complexity and those subtleties were in existence and were given different names to refer to what we consider to be the woman today. She was defined according to her family or social status, her age or even according to other criteria. Femina, puella, vxor refer to the "woman" relegated to the weaker sex, but each of these words has something to do with the specific peculiarity of the person it's dealing with. It's not easy to understand the various aspects of the image of the woman through literary texts in which the authors themselves an different as for their birth, social status, relationship, and their respective literary genres. In spite of all these differences there is same homogeneity in all speeches delivered by men of letters b. C. From this, a non-uniform stereotype is prevailing, whichsome striking aspects, this doctoral dissertation strives to describe owing to literary texts

Full textThis thesis on children's literature is a study of the representations of girls and women in ten contemporary french novels. The analysis of the content of these novels reveals in the child protagonists' environments female characters in their roles as women and mothers, and male characters seen through male-female relations and the different figures of the father, in traditional, separated, and single-parent families. The private and/or professional lives of the adults determine the relationships between the parents and between the parents and their children. The study of the child protagonists shows that the heroine goes through different phases, from little girl to adolescent. The child's situation within the family and among her siblings leads to a variety of feelings and reactions. The little girls are overwhelmed by a common obligation to grow up and by the desire to refuse to grow up. The beginning of adolescence is another event shared by all the protagonists. The perception of all that which happens in the lives of the child protagonists and in their minds is resolved in reality and/or in the imagination, through words and silences. From the initial situation to the final phase, the child is transformed, modifies her behavior, experiences different feelings, and sets out on a path toward the future

Full textThe following study of women’s speech in the Iliad is based on the analysis of utterances that female characters pronounce in the poem in direct style. The analysis has been made by taking into account the content as well as the women’s way of speaking ( stylistic features, syntax, lexicon, recurrent words, as well as words specific to each character). The research enabled us to deep in three fundamental points : 1) Despite Homer’s use of an artificial language which is limited by the oral components of its transmission (formulas, metric structure, etc. ), he succeeds in creating individual characters by giving each of them her own style. 2) Moreover, the results show that it is also possible to identify and define a rhetorical use, tone and women’s perspective that are differents from those of men. 3) Finally, our approach on women’s speechesT enabled us to gain insight into some crucial points in order to have a more precise idea of women’s status and function in the Homeric society and their relation to men
Louichon, Brigitte. "Ces voix qui se sont tues. . : le roman féminin de 1794 à 1830." Bordeaux 3, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997BOR30054.
Full textBetween 1794 and 1830, a number of women became writers with consistent success. We analyse the meaning of this literary phenomenon from a panel of twenty-three novels, written by seven women writers: mmes de genlis, de souza, de krudener, de stael, cottin, gay and de duras. In the first part, we reconstruct their social and literary environment. In so doing, we use a number of documents, most of them unpublished yet. We show that this literature is not some kind of paraliterature but has its full place in the literary field. But women writers fiction is strongly contained and limited to the sentimental novel. The second part is an organised description of this literature. In the third part, we consider the whole of the studied novels as a corpus from which to analyse the meaning given to these texts by the readers of the time. This part offers a study of the techniques of the novels, plots, caracters, space-time outline,perception of history, particulary the revolutionary events and language used in the texts. We,then,try and find out to what extent these texts are 'rousseauist". Finally is an attempt to reveal its relationship with the tale, a genre in vogue in the 18th century. As a conclusion, we try and redefine the stakes attributed by mme de stael to the novel. As for the succes, as quick as it was ephemeral, of these novels, it seems to us due to the historical background. This literature partakes of a quest for meaning, putting forward, at the same time, thematic and stylistic echos of the violence of the times. At last, taking a few examples, we point out how the knowledge of some minor, forgotten works can contribute to feed a "sociocritique des totalites"

Full textDeliberaly on the fringes of the biographical investigations which have tried for 150 years to clarify the ambigous and often tumultuous relationships bonding the French writer to his work and to the many women who were part of his life, this study intends to put forth the essential structural and thematic importance of the Woman un the whole of this writer's work. Based on a semantic analysis of the archetypes - sources of the poetic imagination - this study puts the emphasis on the diversity and the complexity of the unique female world the author succeeded in creating, regardless of the genres to which the various texts belong. Going beyond the ecletic - not to say unfinished - aspect of Alfred de Musset's work, and with a mainly stylistic approach to the texts - focusing mostly on the allegory - this study attempts to shed light on a profound unity in what would be suited to call "the writing of feminity"
Farkhondeh, Iris. "Représentations des femmes dans la littérature sanskrite du Cachemire (VIIIe-XIIe siècles)." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCA140.
Full textThis thesis presents an explanatory typology of the female characters who feature in the corpus of four Sanskrit literary works written in Kashmir between the 8th and 12th centuries : Dāmodaragupta’s Kuṭṭanī-mata, Kṣemendra’s Samaya-mātṛkā, Somadeva’s Kathā-sarit-sāgara, and Kalhaṇa’s Rāja-taraṅgiṇī. A large spectrum of female behaviors and status appears here in literary representation. While the behavior of some female characters corresponds to the expectations of the legal texts, that of others can seem surprising and atypical: risk-taking women, sometimes pittoresque, clearly deviate from the norm. Between these two extremes, the female characters are more or less prone to take the initiative and to various degrees to take advantage of whatever space they have to manoeuver in, and to take benefit of whatever decision-making power they might have. While the authors are men who subscribe to the essential core of Brahmanic social norms, their point of view on women is, however, ambiguous. Not only does the treatment of the female characters vary according to the authors, but it varies also within the same work, depending on context. Reading the works of this corpus helps to define what appears as essential concerning marriage and spouse relations in the legal texts. This study also allows for the evaluation of some of the legal texts’ assertions about women. In fact, the comparison of these sources shows how the legal texts integrated certain practices that the authors of these texts had to take into consideration. In the end, one has to ask the question of to what degree the Kashmirian literature of this time described contemporaneous society. The critical view of Tantric practices especially in the satirical works of Kṣemendra, but also in the Rāja-taraṅgiṇī, is indeed proof that contemporary reality has a place in this literature. It is of an immense advantage to study works from a well-defined region and time – something so rare in Indian Studies that it can be easily appreciated. This advantage allows us to emphasize the difference in treatment of female characters among different authors, and among different genres (satires, story collections, chronicles), as well as according to the different audiences, since we know that these differences cannot be explained as being simply regional

Full textThe korean woman, noble or belonging to the popular classes, was dependant on the man : her father, then her husband and finally her son. In this patrilinear and partriarchal context moral obedience, fidelity and chastity was demanded of her. Only the courtisan, or kisaeng escaped from these constraints. This appeared in the novels from the end of the choson era. The novels also spoke about women's clothes in which the material, the form, the colour and the usage were fixed according to the social rank of the woman in question. It should be understood that the clothes developed not only according to fashion but also according to social changes. The novels also describe the efforts made by the women to break free of the moral constraints of confucian customs imposed upon them, such as increasing the amount of undergarments to hide the form of their bodies. The historical documents show us that the women of low social standing were forced to dress and style their hair according the style of the noble women. The usage of silk and other precious materials, and the usage of luxurious hair-pieces are also displayed by paintings of the social customs and novels. Little by little women liberated themselves. They were eventually able to display their feelings, particularly in the sexual domain, and to manifest them by the type of costume, by the hairstyle, which at the end of the choson era was a short jacket, a long and full skirt and a hairstyle with a wig and long plait. Paradoxically, the women wore, on the outside, a chang'ot, a type of large overcoat, which covered their head and face. The kisaeng didn't escape this constraint. It can be said that the women's clothes from the latter period of choson were modeled on those of the noble women who were concerned to display their virtue. Women of all classes participated in this evolution. The kisaeng determined the exterieur characteristics of women's clothes in this latter period, while the peasants made various articles making possible the fabrication of luxury clothes

Full textThis research suggests an exploration of woman's image, subject that causes interests and polemics, even in the fiction. The young afro-caribean literature also shows its points of vew about this question. Its women characters draw social attitudes. If the women images are few separated to the great events which leaves marks on their cultural space, perharps it's because literary writing that they're dependant echo cares able to constitute a real intellectual history. Through prejudices and mirages, woman is drawn in the complexity of her relationships with the others, and specially with men and traditions that don't like evolution. Being girls, spouses or celibates, the works of maryse conde (moi, tituba, sorciere noire de salem) and henri lopes (la nouvelle romance) show them according to their actions, the places they keep, their social position, their way to think, their own society values. Always stood up, in spite of ups and downs of their life, often kept back the shade of traditions, or closed in a strategical silent, these women live now dependent of their choice, now claiming an urgent emancipation. Above all, these women characters are in gear with their passions and their errances. They're a kind of mirror of societies becoming, in spite of many reserves looking clearly. They seem like meeting places able to favour dialogue and reflexion

Full textTalking about women's condition concerning george sand may seem at first sight rather commonplace. However the novelist's attitude towards this question wavers between two representations. The most common is based upon the cliche setting the novelist as an emancipated woman especially in her love life but also because of her financial independence. Some critics have debunked the feminist image and have found fault with her lukewarmness even her hostility towards her time's suffragettes. Has sand really worked for the extension of the women's rights or has she only been busy with her own liberation ? the description of the women's condition in her literary works may outline an answer. The latest novels seem an all the more suitable ground to that kind of research as they practically lie fallow. Now, studying the picturing of the female characters throughout their portraits, their actions and destinies undoubtedly prove that sand secretly works to better the women's condition. In order to gain the reader's agreement and try to win him over her cause, she values conventional heroine s endowed with every virtue. Yet, these ideal figures are also provided with more unusual qualities such as cleverness, courage, the sense of initiative, strengthened by a flawless education. Implicitly, sand condemns a society which tends to subject women to male power with all the risks implied in such a process : coquetry, perversity, adultery. . . To show the necessity of an evolution, the novelist finds fault with the frivolous woman who uses her charms to reduce men. She opposes her to the woman of the future, clever and brained who treats men as equals and who hankers with them after the beings' essential mission : bringing up their children for the progress of humanity

Full textThe slave woman in the greek tragedy treat of the many faces of feminine dependence in the drama of aeschylus, sophocles and euripides : dependence of the captivity of war, dependence de facto of the auxiliaries characters (classicals formes of the enslavement), divin dependence (enslavement of a double sens), metaphorical dependence. The main subject of this study is the free woman that became slave, the femal slavery as lost liberty, and his bonds with the form and the tragic material : in the tragic fiction, the enslavement is only possible in the imaginative dependence, the enslavement is already realized in the real dependence. From slavery with juridical status to metaphoric slavery, we are also in a real system of dependences reflecting the adverse idea - of the liberty and independence independence of cities and people, independence of the woman in front of the patriarcal society too. If the classic philology form the base of this entreprise, our doctoral belong too as part of the new studies on the woman and femal element, using a problematic based on the concepts of gender and sexual difference - dimension justified from the fact justly that the accidental slavery in the drama is essentialy femal, and not male. Beyond this element of sex, the social class and the condition, the ethnic origin and the age are examined in order to define of the persona of the slave woman

In order to verify if the image of woman given by the writers is close to reality, the female personage is considered under the following perspectives : the woman and the weight of the familial environment, the woman in a money influenced world, the woman and education, the woman and work, the woman and love and, lastly, the woman and marriage
COUTURIER, STOREY FRANCOISE. ""l'allegorie dans l'oeuvre de margaret atwood et d'angela carter"." Nice, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997NICE2019.
Full textThis piece of research aims at analysing the notion of allegory in the work of two anglo-saxon writers, margaret atwood, a canadian, and angela carter, an englishwoman (who died in 1990). I define the term of allegory as follows: it consists in the balance of two forces, the didactic (the most dogmatic part of a work, the teaching that the author wishes to transmit to the reader through his work of fiction), and fantasy (a notion that brings together all imaginary discourses, such as the fantastic, the marvellous, science-fiction, utopia/dystopia, the gothic, etc. ). The first part of the dissertation analyses allegory as an ambivalent discourse, often rejected by critics but truly present in most works of literature. In this part the link between allegory and feminism is also put under scrutiny. Indeed, we may wonder why a great majority of texts written by women often has an allegorical dimension, dissimulating behind fantasy a polemical discourse of a political, sexual or social nature. The second part analyses the work of margaret atwood in relation to allegory, in particular through two novels, surfacing and the handmaid's tale. Her poems are also taken in consideration. The third and last part studies the work of angela carter, in particular through her short stories and five novels that illustrate the evolution of her thought around allegory: the infernal desire machines of doctor hoffman, the passion of new eve, nights at the circus, heroes and villains, and her last novel wise children
Corbacho, Belinda. "Le monde feminin dans les nouvelles de silvina ocampo." Caen, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997CAEN1218.
Full textThe feminine characters which are much in evidence in the narrative work of silvina ocampo (born 1903, died 1994 in argentina) create a world halfway between that of the fantastic and the grotesque , and suggest an image of women which is at once multiple and rich in meaning. The analysis of a selection of figures spread throughout his work brings to light a problem linked to identity and feminity and poses the question of the creation of the feminine subject. The first two short stories analysed, one fantastic, the other humouristic, revealthe alienation of female to the masculine desire. The pretence of feminity, however, is presented in the form of a transgression, if it become a creation. Other characters choose animality or metamorphosis as a means of escape from their environment. The study of characters' names, of intertextuality, the reference to myths, and the specific treatment of "space", create an original fantasticism, which is at once ludic and transgressive because female characters depass certain limits, and refer back to an irrational and magic order sometimes the writer gives his characters the power to kill or the ability to see in dreams. This exploration finishes with a study of space

Full textThe work starts with a concise presentation of. The authors, of their whole works and of the place taken by these two novels within their work. Then, this study is going on with an analyses of the local traditions connected with the "gaucho", the typical man of the area, in his relationship with the woman. Next the imaginary universe of the two main female characters of the considered works (clarissa and anelise) are studied, in order to verify if these two behaviours demonstrate an acceptance of the traditional image of the "macho" or, if, on the contrary, it shows a rebellion against the generaly admitted values regarding the man-woman relationship. In a third part, the narrator's problem in the two works are analysed to check up the existence of a specific feminine writing in the two texts. This triple approach -sociological, psychological and literaryallows to draw a global portrait of the woman in the rio grande do sul

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the evolution of women's status is both the algerian society and literature. In an attempt to transcend the thematic approches, it consists in a conciliation of the study of writing and meaning from a sociocritical and intertextual perspective in order to analyse the discourse on women. Consiering the works of benhedouga, lemsine, djebar and boudjedra in particular, written in arabic or in french, it explores the opposed discourses on women and reaches the conclusion that women are at the core of a problematics linking history and literature. The results demonstrate that the position of women moved from a sociological passivity caracterized by an objectivation in the literary field to a position as a subject producer of both history and discourse. The emergence of a new female character and a productive myth through its inscription in modernity and the taking over of the text itself by a femine perspective illustrate the fact that women have become the agents of both history and text. In this process, writing consists in a reading of history

Full textThe theme of the vengeance of women in the tragedy of the XVIIth century seems to present a tremendous diversity from the peace of Vervins (1598) to the Fronde (1648-1653). The very concept of vengeance has been prone to ambiguous interpretations since the oldest sources of western tradition to the studied years, when the state of rights appears. The evolution of opposite ideas about this passion has influenced its treatment in the tragedy. The aesthetics of the beginning of the century favor excessive and vindictive female characters. In the years ib3o poetry becomes concerned with propriety and decorum. Characters turn into passive beauties or into traitors and underline the moral function of tragedy. Corneille seems to refuse to compress the genre between the fixed norms. According to him, vengeance is a "noble and manly" passion, certain of its legitimacy, and can also arouse other decision of the state

Full textIn ireland, from the beginning of the century to the sixties, men dominate their female fellow-citizens in every field. The elementary rights of the irish women are flouted : they are deprived of citizenship, are relegated to the home in spite of their resistance. Sean o'casey, in his dramatic works, during the whole period, depicts female characters fighting for their emancipation. He shows brave heroines confronted by coward companions and lovers. They are determined to free themselves from male yoke. O'casey paints images of women which cause displeasure to his contemporaries because of their realism, because they are too far from the models of submitted mothers and wives desired by the religious and nationalist groups. He creates a language to make them appear superior ; he gives them a political function. He maintains that women only will be able to construct a better, a more egalitarian world. Through his works, the evolution of his thought can be read ; a change in his way of looking at woman's place in society is revealed. If he can be considered at the beginning as a "feministe differencialiste", he becomes at the end a feministe

Full textIn medieval adventure novels, the theme of escape is not treated in an balanced manner but depends on the gender of the main character. The man who flees is a dishonored coward while the fleeing woman represents a new prototype of heroin. It appears that being on the run involves wandering into an unknown world full of territories which are not always domesticated by men and which are largely unexplored by women, because, traditionally, this outer space represents a male hunting territory. Their changing identities betrayed by the disguise and by the instability of their names, laborious steps marked by the need to earn a living, and sometimes a virility in every challenge, this is what defines these young women who go across the countries as seekers of themselves The feminine at flight which implies an admitted and spoken rebellion, is the only defense against suicide. Thus, giving voice to women in proven narrative patterns, making them coexist alongside the errant knights, it is a perfect way which allows them to settle, or to rediscover, the basis of their identity. Even though they are sometimes assisted in their brutal steps, henceforth they assume the responsibility upon themselves, and gradually acquire an independence which, hitherto, was impossible within the walls of their androcentric fortress. Fleeing gives them also a completely new control of themselves. The women running in the novels of the Middle Ages represents a challenge not only from a narrative aspect but also from a social, private, and human view point. At the time of the rediscovery of the great adventurers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the emphasis falls on a new mobility of women. Our thesis looks further away and examines nomadic women in medieval romance fiction. This unifying pattern is likely to bring together some known topoi from ancient mythological sources, retrieved by the literature of the Middle Ages. Our aim is to decrypt the architecture of this pattern in order to determine its origins as well

Full textThe present research focuses on authors who, in the context of contemporary migrations, write in Italian even though they have a different mother tongue or they are bilingual. We aim at showing in which way these works, written in a language other than one's own, can illustrate the notion of ostranenie (that is, turning what is familiar into something strange and foreign) introduced by the Russian formalists to describe artistic creation. We carry out textual analysis along three main dimensions, corresponding to the three section of this work: the multilinguism, the evolution of literary genres, the importance of the literary work in relation to the world.In the first part (Italian Babel, chs. 1, 2, and 3), we analyze the linguistic thread of these texts, in order to see in what way and for what reasons these authors create a literary language through the relation between Italian and a different language. In the second part (Writings, Narrations and Poetics, chs. 4, 5, and 6), we consider the context of these writings, as well as of genres and narrative forms, seeking patterns of composition underpinning the poetics of these authors under different literary traditions and power systems allowing for the emergence of authors and texts. Finally, in the third part (The Conflicts of Narration, chs. 7, 8, and 9), we draw the consequences of linguistic and narrative choices at work in the texts we researched. The observation of the images and the ideologies promoted carries us to the questions lying across these texts. Such consequences offer opposing viewpoints both on current Italian society and on the place of the subject in a postcolonial perspective

Full textWestern women’s writing in the twentieth century is marked by the thematic prominence of matricide and matrophobia (Hirsch, 1991; Saint-Martin, 1999 ; Giorgio 2002). Working comparatively, this study addresses the years 1945-1968 as seen through six texts written by women in Quebec, France, and the United States. This study deploys the notion of “sacrifice,” as articulated by René Girard (1972, 1982) and Anne Dufourmantelle (2007), in order to delimit the textual representations of matrophobia and matricide engendered by these works. Drawing on feminist critiques of the “institution” of maternity (Rich, 1976; Irigaray, 1981; Olivier, 1980), this study pursues both a horizontal (systemic and causal) and vertical (learned or inherited) analysis of the act of sacrifice. It further draws on Girard’s seminal exploration of “myth” in order to examine the period’s discursive constructions of the mother. Far from being synonymous with a restoration of social harmony as René Girard argues, the “sacrifice” of mothers (and daughters, through an identification with their mothers) incites the destruction of the societies depicted by these authors. These texts relate women’s unease with the institutions of maternity during a period of political and socio-cultural upheaval regarding the role and status of mothers in the three countries concerned. Through its exploration of the ontology of sacrifice, this thesis illustrates the extraordinary influence of an ideology, which in its time, condemned women and mothers, in some cases, to both a literal and symbolic death

Full textA psycho-analytic approach to the portraits of fiendish women as they appear in the following literary works by balzac (la rabouilleuse 1842 and la cousine bette 1846), gautier (les contes and les recits fantastiques from la cafetiere 1831 to spirite 1866), baudelaire (les fleurs du mal 1857) and flaubert (salammbo 1862 and herodias 1877). Haunted for various reasons by their maternal fixation, these writers do find in their works a phantasmatic fulfilling of their desires : they enjoy the delights of a pre-oedipian heaven in a fabulous orient. Obsessed by incest they credit their heroines with maternal idiosyncracies. But, as figures of substitution, these mistresses are adorned too with the dissuasive emblems of the forbidden mother. Covered with phallic symbols these demoniac mistresses distill a dangerous seductive charm. Their lovers think they are entitled to defend themselves and start persecuting the woman they love without knowing that their oedipus complex brings to life again their sadistic tendencies which were originally aimed at their mothers' bodies at the earley stages of tehri libidinal growing. Yet aesthetical theories enable us to go beyond mere oedipian ethics and to rehabilitate these devilish womenn in so far as sufferings fecundate genius and these satanic

Full textThis thesis is looking at female bodies and suffering in contemporary Australian fiction written by women. I am using the tools forged by psycho-analysis and humanism, and the feminist theories to work my way through the meanders of these narratives of anorexia, bulimia, and self-mutilation and baby-murder towards a deeper layer of meaning of body and soul, and offer an interpretation of this fiction in relation to the world of “real” women in contemporary white Australia. My thesis is that the body distorted functions as a sign, both reaction and language, which is interpreted as madness. The oppressed female characters inscribe the suffering of their souls on the canvass of their bodies. Ths strategies to cure “mad” women appear more as strategies to tame them than to heal them. The female writers I am looking at construct the body of their text as a palimpsest, in the same way as the body of the woman, mutilated, scarred or starved, is a palimpsest. These texts function as a discourse of defiance and acceptance of the discourses of patriarchy in force. The central issu is the conflation of fiction and reality. The mirror-identification of the reader transmutes these narratives into potential Bildungsromane. The risk lies then in the acceptance and re-inforcement of sexist / gender stereotypes. I argue that the female body bears the marks and scars of the history of women, the history of fighters and survivors. And that women who fight can become women who win
