Brosseau, Marc. "Des romans-géographes : le roman et la connaissance géographique des lieux." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040124.
Full textThis project pursues previous geographical research on literature. After critically analyzing the principal geographical studies of space in the novel, the author explores the possibility of establishing a new relationship between geography and the novel. Noting that geographers have used literature to increase the scope of their usual concerns, the author suggests a dialogical approach which considers the novel as a subject and not merely an object under analysis. This dialogical approach enables one to be in contact with that which only the novel can communicate about human space and place, and this without "exploiting" it. The analysis of some particular examples (Suskind, Dos Passos, Tournier and Gracq), opening a wide range of geographical considerations, draws the attention on different ways to conceive and write about human places

Full textThis dissertation examines how a long-standing notion, the notion of the homeland, modernized by the French school of Vidalian geography and edified by the School of the Third Republic, invaded and, so to speak, resuscitated the French peasant novel in the inter-war period. One can easily deduce a close connection between both the human and the republican geography of the beginning of the XXth century and the literary production of the inter-war period. Therefore, our general hypothesis is that a new literary genre, the homeland novel, was born in the French literary field in this period. The role of the pattern of the homeland is considered in the works of Marcel Aymé, Henri Bachelin, André Chamson, Maurice Genevoix, Jean Giono, Henri Pourrat and C.-F. Ramuz, and we only mention here the main authors of our corpus. A historical point of view first enables us to study the relations between this literature and the scientific discourses supporting it. Then we focus on the sociological and socio-political meaning of a genre closely related to a republican pedagogic system. Furthermore, we take into account the gradual founding of a poetics which enables us to recognize representative plot points and their historical implications. This dissertation thus intends to demonstrate that the passion for the land might have been the origin of a renewal of the novel in a time of doubts, crisis and rapid change
Nevoux, Pierre. "Le roman espagnol et l’Europe au XVIIe siècle : regards sur le réel et projets fictionnels." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040075/document.
Full textThis dissertation deals with the representation of Europe in seventeenth-century Spanish novels, with a special focus on three of them: Miguel de Cervantes’ Persiles (1617); La vida y hechos de Estebanillo González (1646), attributed to Gabriel de la Vega; and Baltasar Gracián’s Criticón (1651-1657). These texts have in common their opening onto vast European areas, whereas most of Spanish Golden Age novels –with the notable exception of the romances of chivalry– tend to be restrained in Iberian lands. Therefore, the main issue of this study is to show that their European spread is inseparable from ambitious literary projects. Indeed, by choosing a specific geography for their stories, the authors take position within the narrative world and the historical context. In our continental-scale fictions, covering novelistic terras incognitas is a way to reach unexplored themes and forms; and crossing genre-territories enables a mutual test of generally dissociated aesthetics and worldviews. Besides, this work aims at demonstrating that the existence of a few ‘European novels’ in the seventeenth-century Spain is linked to the emergence of Europe as an unavoidable reality: a shared cultural space, on the way to replace the medieval Christendom perpetuated by the old-fashioned romances of chivalry; a geopolitical arena where the Habsburg supremacy is being increasingly questioned; and, all in all, a decisive background for the Spaniards. In order words, one can better appreciate the aesthetic originality of Persiles, Estebanillo and Criticón, when observing that these fictions are also intended to recreate by rewriting the recent past of Europe
Dumas-Juilliot, Isabelle. "Les problèmes de l'eau dans les provinces occidentales du Haut-Empire romain : (Géographie, religion, médecine)." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040086.
Full textThis thesis studies different questions about water in the ancient roman world. The first part, Water and Geography, shows how the river's natural layout favoured, thanks to the fluvial shipping, the expansion of the cities built on their course and analyses the different cases in which the presence of water (rivers or springs) played a part in the creation of new cities. The second part exposes religion, gods of springs and fluvial shipping and the taboos in connection with water. The third part analyses the place that water holded in ancient medicine (hydrotherapy, balneotherapy and thermalism)
Chassagnette, Axelle. "Mesurer et décrire : savoir géogaphique et cartographie dans l'espace germanique protestant (des années 1530 aux années 1610)." Thesis, Tours, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009TOUR2010.
Full textThis doctoral thesis examines and demonstrates the progressive transformation in the Renaissance of geographical knowledge into a scientific discipline as it is defined by an exisiting corpus of authorical texts covering a field of knowledge, by a series of specialized notions, by a list of theoretical and practical problems or questions, by a community of practitioners and sometimes even by a certain degree of professionalisation. The choice of the German and protestant area is justified on the one hand by the historically early eagerness of German humanists to establish a modern portrait of Germania - this interest arises at the end of the fifteenth century and stays virulent through the sixteenth century - and on the other hand by the interest for the mathematical, especially the geographical sciences in Lutherian protestant milieux and later on also in Calvinist environnements. The mathematical sciences were to relegitimize the teaching and practice of philosophy in view of the development of the new religious doctrines. Theses specific intellectual and religious orientations favour the activity of German Scholars in the field of geographics. Limiting this research to the protestant environnement leads to questions on the relationship between a Christian confession and the definition of a field of knowledge and on the way protestant doctrines shape the content and the approaches to geography. The final question is to what extend it is possible to speak of a "protestant geography"? Covering the historical period from 1530 to the 1620ies, this study focusses in a first step the evolving theoretical definitions of the geographic knowledge and the changing status of its practitioners. In a second step, this study raises the question of the teaching of geography in the universities and the protestant schools of the Holy Empire. In a third step, the study brings into the focus the production of the scientific knowledge and examines the practical, intellectual and social modalities of the process of bringing geography into life. How does the context of this production shape the content and the form of the geographical descriptions, were they iconic or textual. A final step is taken, when the study questions the possibility of an application of the geographical knowledge specific to the protestant milieux of the Holy Empire. Two case studies are proposed which concern the description of the Germania - the Empire and its territories - and the conception ot the Geographia sacra - maps and textual descriptions of the coutries and the peoples spoken of in the Bible
Plougoulm, Guillaume. "Citoyenneté et espace : développement, urbanisme et culture politique dans la métropole de Durban (1996-2006)." Paris 4, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA040054.
Full textHow does the post-apartheid era fare ten years since the official birth of the “new” South Africa? The track record is mixed. If anything, the institutional front has delivered. Democracy, however, sometimes struggles to meet the aspirations of individuals in their everyday lives. Socioeconomic inequalities are still very much part of the South African picture. Broken promises loom large in fact and, with them, so does a potent challenge to political trust likely to frustrate nation-building. Since the new dispensation redefined them into fully-fledged development agencies, it is for municipalities to fight this erosion. In Durban, this mandate has shaped a proactive approach to economic development. The metropolitan authority hence works on boosting its constituency economically, so as to generate the material resources it needs to face the new democratic demands. Both legislative and financial limitations, however, mean that this municipal eagerness can only translate into the planning of a business-friendly environment. This urban restructuring has two goals. It boils down to an attempt at upranking Durban in the global league framed by local contingencies (informal economy’s requirements, resistance from powerful landowners, etc. ). Will these dynamics encourage the rise of an urbanity matching official representations and likely, as such, to nurture a “rainbow culture”? In engaging three socioeconomic configurations meant to capture the heterogeneity of the metropolitan realities, the thesis offers to analyze the capacity of Durban’s public space to entrench a sense of belonging supportive of the post-apartheid democratic structures among its users. It pinpoints the obstacles nation-building confronts with in South Africa’s second largest city

Full textThis research deals with the urban space in the contempory latinoamerican novel. More exactly, we have analyzed the argentinian case (buenos aires) through three literary works which cover an essential period of argentina's history: adan buenosayres by leopoldo marechal, los siete locos and los lanzallamas by roberto arlt and sobre heroes y tumabs by ernesto sebato. The corpus is dealt with in terms of thre axes which constitute the fundamental basis of every creative work; namely, time, space and characters. Parallel to these axes, we have developped some aspects relative to the narrative function. Concerning our approach, we have focused on the works themselves: for a literary text is considered a fundamental literary sign that is complex, autonomous and is conceived of as act of communication the work, in this sense, is considered to be a whole which possesses its own structures and original characteristics: the description of different textual unities which compose the narrative: the analysis of space in so far as it constitues a referential frame of the narrated actions; the analysis of characters in terms of the principal components of the semiological status of character; the analysis of different temporal dilensions which structure. .

Gury, Jean-Philippe. "1871-1971, un siècle de littérature policière en Bretagne." Brest, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011BRES1011.
Full textBrittany first appeared in crime fiction literature in 1871 in Maximilien Heller. Since then many crime fiction novels were set in Brittany. Based on a corpus of about a hundred titles, this study will try to understand the place occupied by a distant province, Brittany, in a literary genre which is at first glance very centralist and Parisian. Some of those works are still quite famous, like L‘Ile aux trente cercueils by Maurice Leblanc or Le Chien jaune by Georges Simenon while others are now forgotten. But together they present a detailed picture of the evolution of the genre viewed from a precise geographic setting. In crime fiction, the choice of the decor is of the highest importance. The question is in knowing how the Breton settings led to the creation of specific characters, crimes and plots. We also have to understand how, within the codes of the crime fiction genre, geographical, historical, linguistic, cultural, and literary Breton references are presented and used
Gille, Florence. "La mise en mots de l’espace géographique dans les romans de voyage pour la jeunesse : approche géopoétique de l'oeuvre de Xavier-Laurent Petit." Thesis, Le Mans, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LEMA3013.
Full textFocusing on 14 of Xavier-Laurent Petit’ s novels, we explore the processes used to create the trip and to gain the reader's consideration. Space, as a fictional universe of the narrative, induces a geographical anchoring of the texts. This representation of otherworldliness is based on personal writing choices and is part of a relevant relationship between the world and the words. But space, being constitutive of the novel, establishes the location as a foundation for the narrative, as an essential element for literary creation. I’m interested to show that fiction books about travel intended for youths give the possibility to follow an identity’ s construction around a double didactic node: the here and the elsewhere. I propose to introduce the concept of Geopoetics, which enables us to comprehend and analyse the territorial, geographical and geo-ecological dimensions of a literary text – and finally the aesthetically encoded relationships between man and Earth. This concept anchors this research in a triple way: simultaneously scientific, philosophical and poetic. Skirting the boundaries of literature and geography, trip novels for youths have the power to question the world. Through language, they give a space, a landscape, and even sometimes a path to read
Dodeman, André. "La dynamique de l'ouverture : de la canadianité à l'universalité dans les romans de Hugh Maclennan." Paris 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA030116.
Full textThis work, which shall be organized in three parts, offers to analyze how the Canadian nation is represented in Hugh MacLennan’s fiction. These modes include map-making which calls for the representation of geographical, cultural and historical borders. To set these borders, the author resorts to certain European codes. At this period, Europe is still associated with the origins of Canada and continues to define all national perspectives in terms of centrality and periphery. The realism that characterizes many XIXth and XXth century European novels led MacLennan to prefer a realistic and organized representation of the national territory. He progressively set his work apart from modernist and postmodern trends which tried to face an ontological crisis of representation. This work will attempt to analyze these overtures to a wider world that will lead the author to make certain choices. These choices give his novels their didactic dimension, and the readers are directed towards a specific interpretation of the national myth. However, all choices remain inclusive and exclusive. The cartography of a nation has difficulty resisting the ceaselessly changing face of society. The contemporary reading of his work reveals a new portrait of Canada and its culture, and this thesis will try to determine the role that MacLennan’s fiction has played in the Canadian literary landscape
Avout, d'Auerstaedt Aurélien d'. "Le territoire recomposé. Conscience géographique et expériences de l'espace dans les récits de la France défaite (1940)." Thesis, Normandie, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020NORMR068.
Full textThis thesis deals with spatial representations of French territory that accounts of debacle and exodus simultaneously reveal, shape and reconfigure. It aims to consider the poetics of war narrative from a geographical angle, as well as to broaden the field of literary geography to new historical and methodological grounds. The corpus, mixed, includes both fictional texts (Aragon, Gracq, Merle, Némirovsky, Robbe-Grillet, Simon, Vialatte), testimonies (Saint-Exupéry, Sartre, Werth), Mémoires (de Gaulle) and historical essays (Marc Bloch).The first part shows how the stories make France appear as a territorial fiction and suggest the ambivalence of the war zone crossed. The second part focuses on the loss of “geographic awareness” experienced by individuals during May-June 1940, as well as the way in which literary works reflect it (toponyms, metaphors and allegories, geographical maps used by the authors). Finally, we are interested in the logics of recomposing the national space. Many authors react to the collapse of France by developing a substitute “interior homeland”. The later narratives, for their part, rearrange the spatial dynamics of the conflict, to the point of influencing collective memory

Full textIn this thesis we study the representations of Parisian modernity during the “Grand XIXème siècle” through representative sampling of 31 novels. Modernity is for us like a tradition of the new incessantly renewed. Novels are the main source of this research, to which we add a source that we have created using textometry and GIS softwares. Authors describe the city of Paris by the walks of their characters. We can associate them with urban walk. We can identify and mapping these walks, by the names of streets which are used. So we can create a cartographic representation of the city of Paris in our sampling. Texts and maps are analyzed in the same time, because they give us two points of view of literary representations of Parisian modernity. We studied the modernity of Paris from the micro to the macro, from the intimate space of the housing to the large urban transformation operations. We identified four incarnations of modernity in the French capital: architecture, business, networks and transport. Modernity is an accumulation of characteristic markers. Some seem absent from the novels in our sampling. We consider them as contrasts of modernity, between absences, ambivalences and negative modernity
Lunven, Anne. "Construction de l’espace religieux dans les diocèses de Rennes, Dol et Alet/Saint-Malo : Approches historique et archéologique de la formation des territoires ecclésiastiques (diocèse, paroisse et cadres intermédiaires) entre le Ve et le XIIIe siècle." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012REN20010.
Full textOur work aimed to understand the formation of ecclesiastical territories of Rennes, Dol and Alet/Saint-Malo dioceses between the fifth and thirteenth centuries. Our focus on these three dioceses of Haute Bretagne is justified by thecrossroads between two theorised systems of ecclesiastical organisation. On the one hand, the Episcopal see of Rennes originated from gallo-frankish tradition and, on the other hand, Episcopal sees of Alet/Saint-Malo and Dol which evolved until ninth century due to the Celtic Church, in the framework of Breton emigration west of the Vilaine. In the first model, ecclesiastical structures were inherited from antique civil districts, contrary to the second model where the Church wasestablished following criteria that were more based on community than territory. Based on textual analysis and archaeology, especially from funeral sites and religious buildings, we intend to show that Church, in the Breton zone as in the Frankish zone, did not always have the same relationship to space. It was only between the eleventh and twelfth centuries, in the context of Gregorian Reform that Church emerged as a temporal institution, dedicated to taking charge of population. The creation of parishes, diocese, archdeaconries and deaneries followed the same dynamics: the affirmation of bishop as an autonomous power, who, as holder of sacredness, have exerted a spiritual authority beyond that exerted by churches or clerics dependents on his jurisdiction
Ventejoux, Aliette. "L'écriture de la catastrophe dans la littérature américaine post-11 septembre 2001." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCA093.
Full textThe catastrophe that hit the United States of America on the morning of September 11, 2001 is regarded as one of the most spectacular events of the 21st century. Consequently, the possibility of writing about this event has to be questioned. Indeed, if the whole world got to witness this event, what more can literature tell us about it? To answer this question, the way the city of New York has been written about following the catastrophe needs to be considered, so as to understand how the hole left by the destruction of the World Trade Center could be narrated and justified. Insofar as the catastrophe is first and foremost physical and geographical and affects the core of the city, it makes it necessary for writers to reappropriate, re-read and re-write the public space. Beyond the issue of urban space, the catastrophe also needs to be tackled in terms of time, because of – among other factors – the traumatic experience that stems from it, as time and trauma cannot be separated. The catastrophe contaminates the present, the past and the future, inducing temporal disorder. Post-9/11 literature pertains to a writing of survival, but is also a literary form that questions certain positions for being too immediate following the catastrophe

Full textIn various fields, including literature, much work has been done on the question of space over the last few years and decades. Some refer to a “spatial turn” in humanities and social sciences. However, in spite of a considerable general interest in this topic, the notion of space remains equivocal. The term is commonly used to denote basic facts in geography, urbanism and astronomy, but the concept is also often said to be rather complex. Husserl claimed that space was both a “content” and a “form”, while Einstein believed that its genuine nature was at the same time “obscure” and “undeniably objective”. In this thesis, we take into account the complexity of the space itself and challenge the notion of spatiality in literature. The corpus consists of novels and narratives written by V.S. Naipaul, Martin Amis, Jean Echenoz, François Bon, Radoslav Petković and David Albahari. Spatiality, such as defined here, brings us to examine both content- and form-related issues, including urban and non-urban space, spatial “polarization” (“centers” and “peripheries”, “local” and “global”, “known” and “unknown” places), border, toponymy and topography. The use of some terms specifying spatial location (such as deictics) is also analyzed, as well as the iconographic representations of space referred to in the texts and, finally, different forms of self-reflexive discourse inherent in the writing of space. The analysis reveals that every level of spatiality has an essentially dynamic, non-static quality, as the elements that it is composed of are in constant opposition and interaction
Khaknegar, Moghadam Nahal. "La représentation de l'immigration dans le roman contemporain (roman occidental-roman iranien)." Montpellier 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009MON30019.
Full textSource of debate, sometimes disputes, causes for concern and above all, for important thematic and stylistic revival, the issue of immigration marked the end of twentieth century, both in the French literature and other cultures. Up to current time, the works of immigration and exile has been usually influenced by experience of their authors. They were incarnating not only the painful memory of a loss and identity crisis, but also engagement of an author who has adopted a new language. Nowadays, a new generation of writers seems to follow the same path. By means of three works, Journey of empty bottles of K. Abdolah, The beautiful things that heaven bears of D. Mengestu and Chicago of A. El Aswany, we have noticed that the contemporary literature of immigration has been reformed, especially by redefining of immigrant character’s identity. The individualism has been enhanced to the detriment of cultural belonging. The immigrant is now a cosmopolitan person who is placed at the crossroads of several cultures, while following his personal path of integration. The Iranian immigration novel, released from its political and social pressures, presents an original vision towards other literatures. Thanks to its meeting with different cultures, a better understanding of "human being" and particularly of the "Iranian" is incorporated in it
Morel, Juliette. "Cartographie du Cycle de Nedjma de Kateb Yacine : modélisation spatiale d'un récit littéraire." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2016. http://www.bu.univ-rennes2.fr/system/files/theses/2016theseMorelJ.pdf.
Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to modelize the literary space using geomatics methods and quantitative tools. Due to the complexity and spatiality of the Cycle de Nedjma by Kateb Yacine (1929- 1989), we intended to develop non-linear knowledges and representations in order to explore differently the literary work. The purpose of this thesis is also to show the specific role of the narrative in the construction of its own geography. This proposal is based on a detailed study of potentialities of a spatial modelization in geographic and literary fields. This work is based on three main hypothesis: the fact that “literary space” is indeed a real space; the fact that partitions between different definitions of space can beovercome; and finally the fact that studying the relationships between those spaces can enlighten us about the functioning of the narrative. The methodology consisted in producing a geographic database that would be able to formalize, index and represent the geographic and narrative data extracted from the novel Nedjma. The resulting set of maps shows the co-construction of the geographic and the literary katebian spaces. Indeed, through proximity and bursting narrative effects, Algerian space is reconfigured, setting the basis of a more open and reticular Algerian nation

Full textThe five ideal Greek novels, nearly complete (Achilles Tatius' Leucippe and Clitophon, Chariton's Callirhoe, Heliodorus' Aethiopics, Longus' Daphnis and Chloe and Xenophon of Ephesus' An Ephesian Tale) constitute a genre that can fruitfully be studied as a unit. In these novels, the abundance of concrete objects is staggering. 426 distinct objects are described with 710 various lexemes and this group of words occurs 4752 times throughout the corpus under consideration. To organize and better understand the function of these objects and the language used to describe them, they can be meaningfully placed into eleven functional categories: property and assets, utensils, weapons, furniture, clothing, accessories, objects related to personal care, stage props, writing tools, decorative objects, and finally dishes. This organization allows the reader to have a better view of all the objects and enlightens each author's literary uses of them. Indeed, objects accompany characters throughout these narratives, can function as an attribute, that is the object that identifies them without any doubt. An object provides the reader with pertinent information about a character's personal history, since the object witnesses the events that have marked his or her life. The object becomes emblematic of the individuals. In the case of objects of recognition throughout corpus, the relationship between the identity of a character and his or her objects is even tighter. The object is significant when accompanying the protagonists, who can also use them to indicate their intentions or in turn try to hide them. The characters benefit from the object when used to manipulate a narrative situation. They often play the role of an essential tool without which the narrative could not progress. The object is an integral part of the scenery in that it is a material thing that embodies a spatial reference for characters as well as readers. This aspect of an object can work on both an intra- and extra-textual level providing characters within a novel or the work's readers with fundamental information. Imbued with spatial significance, an object can provide an impediment to a character's journey or, even more strongly, pose as an opponent that complicates a given plot's forward movement. Among the objects marked by this ambiguity of helping or hindering narrative, the pharmakon plays a distinguished role serving either as a poison or medicine. Accordingly, objects cannot be thought of as merely decorative elements in the novel, rather they must be thought of as things intimately involved in the action itself. The object, when mentioned, is never insignificant. Alongside its function as an agent, an object can also serve as a symbol for a relationship between individual characters. Indeed, the feelings of the protagonists crystallize themselves in the object, and the object allows for their metaphorical union, even when separated by distance. Many types of objects put the characters into a relationship: banqueters' cups, letters, and gifts all have these sorts of functions. In these instances, an object becomes a sign of a relationship itself. The object can also be a decorative ornament in the scenery but also of the text itself, when authors feature them in long descriptions, for instance in long ekphraseis that enrich the text. Objects, however, are not always a visible aspect of the scenery, but can serve as metaphors or illustrations for abstract concepts. Not only do the novelists use objects in this way to explicate an idea for the reader, but characters do so as well in their speeches. The symbol gives the text a dimension of significance that enriches more and more the reading of the romantic plots. The symbolic system highlights the cultural representations. In a word, the object is far from secondary or subsidiary, but is fundamental to these fictions, since it allows the novel to develop and flourish in all of its dimensions
Sohier, Jacques. "La communication dans le roman woolfien." Nice, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994NICE2003.
Full textThis research develops along three main lines resting upon the theory of communication. Firstly, we shall analyse the effects produced by the organisation of the text and the paratext and also by the status of the book in the network connecting the author, the publisher and the reader. Then we shall take on a question Virginia Woolf had asked: how should one read a book? In order to offer a possible answer we shall study the play of meaning created by the titles of V. Woolf's novels as well as by the beginning and the end of her narratives. A traditional novel such as Night and day (1919) will be compared to The waves (1931), a masterpiece of modernism. Enlarging upon Jacob's room (1922) we shall describe the construction of the diegesis and the gradual emergence of meaning. The act of reading is fuelled by this enjoyment from the text R. Barthes explored; thus we shall show that the years (1937) is structured to maximise potentialities of pleasure that may lead the reader to a trance of perfect bliss

Taking for granted that such a space is the point of intersection of several sciences, as well as of other arts, in order to support our argument better, we have adopted a four-part structure, which follows a deductive reasoning: The first part, For a Topology of the New Navel, establishes the theoretical frame allowing us to place the New Novel in a context of debates, the elements of which are specifically considered in the following parts. The second part, Novels of the Triangle, studies this geometric figure in its manifestations as generator, symbol, obsessional element in order to specify that, unlike other aesthetic movements which explore it, the New Novel generalizes it by making it significant within an extremely interesting psychoanalytical content. The third part, The Canvas of Words, signals an opening towards pictorial arts, by illustrating the particular spatializing of the narrative which gets close to a pictorial expression. The fourth part, Striding Along the City, tackles geometric space from the point of view of itinerant narrators, who trace spatially their return to origins by means of symbolic acts of measuring which inevitably pass through the encounter with Otherness. The corpus of 15 novels also includes non-French francophone writers who might be associated with the New Novel - Jacques-Gérard Linze, Dumitru Tsepeneag, Hubert Aquin. The conclusion emphasizes the paradox that the geometrical construction of space contributes to the deconstruction of fictional space

Full textThe aim of this study is to rethink the question of the novel character on the basis of a theory of reading. The first part ( perception ) concentrates on an analysis of the mental process through which we imagine th character when we are reading. We try to show how the identity of the novel character emerges from a cooperation between the text and the reader. The second part ( reception ) analyses what relations - either conscious or unconscious ones - take place between the rea- der and the characters. The character is examined as the basis upon which the rea- der can foresee the story, understand the text and experience feelings. The third part ( implication ) studies the phenomenology of the interaction between the reader and the characters and its extra-textual extensions. In the last part ( application ), we test our theory through the analysis of excerpts of three novels. We chose them from a historical point of view ( medieval novel, classical novel, "nouveau roman" ) and a formal one ( narative, dialogue, character- sketch ). These excerpts are taken from the roman d'eneas, an anonymous twelfth century narra- tive, from illusions perdues by balzac and from molloy by beckett

Full textMore than the colonical domination, what has ruined and durably jeopardized the development and the modernization of african societies is the negro-african psychology itself. The african mental habit is grounded on an everlasting belief in the sacred values which inhibit all innovating initiatives. Through the senegalese novel, one can perceive the loss and the quest of the meaning of the primitive sacfed. Moreover the crisis of the sacred provokes the crisis of cultural identity. Violence, madness and death which are the lot of novel heroes convey quite well the failure and the crisis of all the values were land marks in the post. The principles of heredity and perenniality of customs determining the social and professionnal status of people, give birth to the senegalese identity. This enforces the refusal of any mixing of people, the denial of the individual and the misappreciation of the individual liberty as a social value

Full textOur research is divided in three parts, each representing a specific aspect of the animals. The social aspect deals with the symbolic representation of animals, or how they are perceived by men. Through a procedure of assimilations metaphors and rapprochements, each man can be labeled with a character, physical aspect or behavior of an animal. The spiritual aspect deals with the divine and sacred notion of the animals. It refers to the africans ancestral believes, translated through legends, myths and fables. Added to that are those animals that are used for initiation and totemism. The emblematic aspect is represented by voracious and devilish animals. These monsters represent the forces of evil and in particular of tyrannical political powers

Full textGeography taught today is based mainly on teachers' lectures. Pupils adopt parts of these lecturesand oppose or combine them with fragments of information gathered in parageographical or non-geographical spheres. Pupils do geography using trite vacabulary, expressing misunderstood and ill-mastered opinions and argumentation. Geography teaching must reconsider its aims in order to avoid the pitfall of turning into simple tales about the discovery of the world. As an academic subject its role is to present the interests at stake and the actions carried out terrtories by a societe at a given moment of their history. In class, there fore, there must be appropriate argumentation, with occasional demonstration by means of precise geographical bagages. Among the langages of communication to be encouraged, one of the most basic is cartographic. Among the reasonning to be favoured, the systemic should marginalize the causal linear. Finally, french evaluation traditions can only, in this context, be adjusted to take on a more instructive role

Full textThe main intuition behind this research is based on the conviction that immigration is best understood by firstly looking at emogration, and that you have to come back emigrants themeselves in order to from an idea of how thry are going to integrate into their country of residence. Because the migrant has set off on a route and become part of the history that in fact began before he even decided to leave and which will continue long after his installation in the host country. The thesis is divides into two parts, one following the other in chronological order according to the country's milestones. The first part, "migratory pressure stretching over 150 years", gives a detailed account of the years from 1830 to 1974. When a huge wave of departures which pushed the portugese to america from the second half of the nineteen century then after a brief pause caused by the great crisis and the second world war, analyses the new contemporary flood of emigrants towards europe. The second part - emigration in daily life - takes advantage of the decisive turning point of 1974 to clarify the fluidity of the actors and the scale et which the are invawed: - that of the state and its national territory as this is the reference area with respect not only to identify but to policy considering however. .

Full textThis thesis has the purpose to analyze the images of the night and its meanings in the novels of the 18th century, from 1730-1740, in the ambit of three literatures: the English, the French and the Italian literature. Two opposite conceptions are compared: the first, to exorcise the night, is typical in the first half of the century and it is represented mainly by libertine novels. The second shows a valorisation of the night that can be found above all in the gothic novels that belong to the second part of the century. The final objective of the following research is to find an explanation to the rejection of the night by some authors and therefore to retrieve the causes of the change of vision. Since the night impedes sight, it has been considered a negation of space; according to the psychological and anthropological profile night would then be the main cause of the loss of orientation. Finally, according to an intellectual interpretation, it would be a sign of ignorance. The situation changes when the night starts to assume an active and necessary role in the learning process. In the literary fiction, the most important encounters happen at night. In the revival of the gothic cathedrals and the medieval castles, it is evident how the night takes possession of the space that is enriched with lights and shades.

Full textThe purpose of this work is to present the thai middle-class society by the novels' expressions during the period 1930-1950. Four novelists : prince akatdamkoeung, dokmaisot, sri burapha (kulab saipradit), and malai choopinij have been chosen. They are precursors of modern thai novel as well as witness of the history of their time. The thai bourgeoisie takes its rise during the 1930-1940 which can be considered as the transitional period from the absolute monarchy to democratic regime. Also, the representative works of these four writers at that time reveal a popular trend towards love theme which seems to justify the middle-class struggles for sensibilities and individualism. After the "bourgeois revolution" in 1932, have arised problems caused by the aristocratic nostalgie and the search for self-justification of the young generation. This will be reflected in the qualitative works of these authors during the next decade (1940-1950). Globally the novels under consideration present thai ways of life and thinkings in face of the growth of the bourgeois society. However, each of the authors, conditioned by the climate of social and moral experiences, seems to understand and interprete differently the social evolution of his time

Full textThis study analyses the complex relationship between translation and culture, and more specifically the issues arising from the translation of cultural references into a different language. It focuses on a body of contemporary Irish historical novels translated into French. This corpus comprises five novels written by Sebastian Barry, Dermot Bolger, Roddy Doyle and William Trevor. All five novels take place during the same historical period, namely the first half of the twentieth century. This shared historical context guarantees the presence of a base of cultural references common to all novels. This study will therefore take on both a descriptive and comparative approach in order to analyse the range of solutions that were implemented to translate these references. It will aim at uncovering the areas of Irish culture that demonstrate a particular resistance to intercultural transfer, as well as foregrounding recurring translational trends within the translated texts. Additionally, the novels under study all revise a number of historical, cultural and identity constructs, in particular the idea of a homogeneous Irishness that is exclusively Gaelic, Catholic and rural. This approach constitutes an essential key to understanding the novels and therefore represents a significant issue and challenge for the translation of cultural references. Accordingly, the study also attempts to examine the modifications undergone by these specific cultural representations during the translation process. It is supported and completed by researches carried out in the fields of translation studies as well as Irish literature and history

Full textWhen Helen Fielding published Bridget Jones’s Diary in the middle of the 1990s, she gave birth to a new kind of romantic fiction written for women (chick-lit) and men (lad-lit). The difference with formulaic novels such as Mills and Boon, lies in the narration, characterisation and themes related to our times and society, that no romance writer had dealt with so far. The plots focus on men and women's every day lives. The thesis analyses the specificities of chick-lit regarding its narration and themes, the links with women’s fiction from earlier generations and the genre as well as its influence on mainstream novels

Full textThe goal of this dissertation is to show the essential role of Space in the novels by Pedro Montengón thanks to the methodological proposals of Professor Jacques Soubeyroux who has introduced space as a third category of narrative along with time and narration which are considered by modern review as being the main two fundamental elements of “representation”. Once it has become a meaningful place, space is from then on a full “textual category”. When specifically applied to the novels of Montengón (1745-1824), one better understands its different functions since it serves to get started on the narrative by both allowing action to proceed on and plot to progress. Thus, analyzing the novel topography makes it easier to enter the literary universe of Pedro Montengón and even the Age of Enlightenment in Europe and the Ilustración in Spain. This approach helps us classify his literary work at the same time picaresque and sentimental in Eusebio (1786), educative and sentimental in Eudoxia (1793), epic and gothic in El Antenor (1788-1789) and adapted pastoral in El Mirtilo (1795). But in what context did those writings come to light? The answer to this question brings us right back to the subject matter of our dissertation considering the difficult surfacing of the novel which was considered as a fake story (historia fingida) and also dangerous because of the characters’ liberty in fiction. This is why it is absent in the officially recognized genres well controlled by rigid canons such as theater and poetry. In addition to social and state censorship, the Holy Office was uncompromising in enforcing the « useful » literature which is the antinomy of entertainment and of philosophical ideas. That’s why the writer from Alicante did indeed use esthetic self-censorship by fleeing to ideal worlds, whether it is in space or in time. It is actually a subversion of reality which obliges him to be perpetually in search of a utopia. Hence we find connections between the imaginative world and the real one in the writings of Montengón, included mixing business with pleasure, the travels and the meta-narratives of interpolated novels. Lastly, opposing the bustling and dangerous city to the quiet and peaceful countryside is almost a permanent feature in Montengón’s novel, in the light of Menosprecio de Corte y Alabanza de Aldea by Fray Antonio de Guevara
