Full text“Transfers of the contemporary French novel” analyses the various stages of the transfers of the novels of three contemporary French writers, Jean Echenoz, Philippe Djian and Sylvie Germain towards Germany: the editorial context and the elements of the peritext, the translation of the novels and their universes, the critical and journalistic reception. The specificity of the approach is to consider all these moments of transfer and the different actors and mediators involved, in order to follow step by step the course of the transferred works. The purpose is to demonstrate the preliminary and operational norms and strategies in the publishing and the translation of the novels as well as the expectations concerning the contemporary French novel, detectable through the critical reception of the writers from now on considered as representative of this reception

Full textSylvie Germain’s unusual and syncretic work has found a special place in contemporary literature. Her novels swarm with inventive images and dazzling visions originating from the unconscious or nourished by mythological and biblical references, while her characters plod “against darkness” towards the Light. Now, proliferating and baroque style of the early novels tends to simplicity, purity and calm in the second part of her work, which consists in the Prague novels and initiatory tales focussing on the quest of origins. How and why is it possible to change from ostentatious writing to poetical prose haunted by silence? In our opinion, this purification is not only linked to an aesthetical project, but has as well a spiritual foundation : the author attempts to detect echoes and traces of God’s silence amidst the Visible. She is taking a way, which “consents to silence without closing it into a final emptiness”. At the time when others are tempted by nihilism, she tries to revive lost ties with transcendence. Our study, based on a poetical and phenomenological approach, aims at bringing out the mystical vision of Sylvie Germain, an author impregnated with the tradition of negative theology. Our purpose is to outline – by analysis of images, rhythm and prosody – the main characteristics of paradoxical style, the stakes of which are to express Absence by a sensual and incarnated language. We also analyse – referring to Merleau-Ponty, Levinas and Heidegger, how the author, using both poetry and philosophy, takes oblique paths in order to explore the reverse side of the Visible and the “prose of the world”

Full textSylvie Germain’s novels are written by a writer-thinker, being based on the Judeo-Christian tradition. Evil and the search for God are the two themes privileged by this author who does not write thesis novels, but wonders and thinks about profoundly metaphysical issues in her fiction works. Our approach is thematic, being influenced by mythocriticism and narratology. We have chosen to analyze the figures of « Grace » and « Fall » as the two poles of significance organizing the universe of Sylvie Germain’s novels. In our opinion, « Grace » is synonymous with Christian values- such as goodness, generosity, unconditional love, forgiveness, patience, faith in God, while « Fall » means moral decay in all its forms-lack of love, betrayal, lack of constraint leading to murder, incest and insanity. The three parts of our work are devoted to the epic novel, the family novel and the initiation novel. Sylvie Germain draws on the imaginary of popular literature and revisits the myths (especially the biblical ones), uses narratological structures, but at the same time she innovates in each of the above-mentioned types of novel. Her work, which is in full bloom, proposes a view upon human condition interesting for any reader because of its issues which are, after all, ethical

Full textWith a dense and complex work of fiction, Sylvie Germain has become a prominent figure in modern French literature. Refering to a large corpus of works illustrative of her fiction, this study attempts to explore her fictional universe that is based on the cosmos and its four elements. The subject of this thesis is therefore the study of space and the symbolic function of material imagination in Germain's novels. In fact, she puts emphasis on the importance of inheritance, roots, transmission, and the elements that mark a family memory. Germain resurrects the rootedness and uprootedness problematic that appeared in French literature in the beginning of the 20th century. Following the thematic and psychoanalytical approaches, this study is built on the binary opposition: rootedness and uprootedness, first within a geographical framework, which later extends to every form of extraction, be it psychological or metaphysical. This study also attempts to prove that both desires of rootedness and uprootedness create a new human typology that would replace the old nomadic/sedentary typology. The will for uprootedness is often translated by the will to make a tabula rasa of the past and to split from a filiation, whereas rootedness requires reconciliation with the past and implies a quest for filiation. Finally, in order to depict memory, Germain develops a pattern of intertextuality and intratextuality, inscribing her text in the line of genesis narratives and in a literary tradition, which both ceaselessly inspire her work

Full textAccording to the author, Sylvie Germain, own confession, her work is characterised by a permanent anxiety facing the impossibility to change the world, to make it better. "No, there is no answer facing the scandal of Evil and the suffering of the innocents. There are only haunting and ceaseless questions. Of course, great myths, legends, as much as religious texts, help us tack down a little sense and keep an aim". Even thought Evil cannot be eradicated from human nature, the author understands that only mythic writing, with a specifique structure, can reintegrate chaos to the heart of creative unity. This is why this thesis will try to show how Sylvie Germain imaginary world using characters, places and time, manage to create what can be qualified, according to a "mythocritic" inspired by Pierre Albouy, Gilbert Durand or Brunel, as a literary myth. Thanks to the literary myth as defined by the previous three critics, Evil related to destruction can be restructured, metamorphosed or reinstaded in a structure of the found again origin. The myths of the disorder which express themselves through a bunch of various mythological traditions put up with the t emptation of dispair in front of a tragic and historical conciousness being the reflection of our time. Yet thanks to restored schemes and redemptive archetypes, they transform the space-time myths into myths where the palingenesia becomes a creative magic. At the turn of the century, darkenned by decadence, Sylvie Germain draws from the heart of the myths, the power which sets free from the secular by a poetic, epic and aesthetic combat. Mastering a style combining religion and psychanalysis, she traces the itinerary of her own healing and she gives hope back to the entire collectivity. She becomes a writer of the dawn, searching endlessly to eradicate the night

Full textThrough the notion of symbolism in the novel, this thesis deals with a corpus of works written by Sylvie Germain, Henry Bauchau and Philippe Le Guillou. Thanks to fictional and narrative techniques, these authors' approach belongs to a literature between the mythological novel, the initiation rite genre or the psychoanalytical approach. The notion of symbol fits into the directions mentioned above ; however, the three novelists' approach cannot be restricted to one of these notions. The symbolic novel identifies with modern and contemporary questionings about representation in writing which appears through symbolism in the novels, for figuration turns into signification and appeals interpretation : it is both construction and metamorphosis. As a consequence, in these works the world is perceived with its philosophical and spiritual dimensions that are inherent in symbolism : the one of the man in the world seen in his entirety with whom communication is possible and the one of the figuration of the invisible whether it is another dimension of reality or deep inwardness. In these works, the theme of the man confronted to what is beyond him or what escapes from his reality impacts on the poetry of the novel : it is the writing itself that expresses an appearance or an inadequation with its topic and thus reveals an empty transcendance which paradoxal figuration exists in fictional language

Full textThe space, the place and the landscape permeate the heroic journey in the works of Sylvie Germain to the point of upsetting the hero in his relation to exteriority. The protean aspect of the heroic environment engages the analysis towards a preliminary distinction between a primitive space on the one hand and a transformed place on the other. The study proposes to reveal the phantasmagoric spaces born of places and spaces strongly connoted. The imaginary landscapes, which constitute the second part of our study, assimilate many mythological references which participate in the narrative success. The imaginary spaces, specified by their intertextual charge, open in a complex and highly referential way the creation of Sylvie Germain’s spaces. This complexity is reflected in the physical and intellectual paths of heroes. In this way, the author paradoxically creates her own textual space, to which she gives a significant place in the novels. Finally, the examination emphasizes the movement, which characterizes the aesthetic of Germain, and which proposes a narrative singularity. It is to the textual spaces that we are led. The final interrogation questions the disappearance of the geographic referent when the place is less and less accompanied by a history, a location or a name. The spaces traversed, studied, fantasized, urban, natural, invite reflection to undertake a topographic taxonomy in tie and tension with the stratification of the heroic journey. If the place, the space or the landscape treated in our research are at the heart of a author’s writing process in the imagery of the soil to the rooted spaces, the narrative wandering, marked by the abandonment of spatial precisions in the last stories, interrogates the author about its present relation to space and retrospectively on its function in previous creation

Full textThis dissertation explores the resurgence of the supernatural in the French novel since the 1980s – a topic that has been little studied to date and whose morphological, aesthetic, and socio-historical forms are intended to constitute the core of analysis. At the interface between the established genres of the miraculous, the fantastic or the magical realism, the supernatural elements that recur in many fictional texts point to a certain literary heritage, but they cannot be fully grasped by these categories and thus invite us to reconsider them. Through the staging of magical, spectral and shamanistic imaginaries, they also question the relationship of our society to rationalism and determinism and its crisis of recent decades. With the analysis of selected novels by Antoine Volodine, Sylvie Germain, Alain Fleischer, Marie NDiaye and Christian Garcin, this work pursues a double goal. On the one hand, it seeks to illuminate the singularity of contemporary supernatural forms and their complex structures; on the other hand, it seeks to take a closer look at the poetological functions attributed to them. By oscillating between the temptation of reenchanting the world and a pronounced destabilizing function, these novels unfold an ambivalent space that intertwines reality and imagination and strongly problematizes the forms of our existence, both within the plot and at a narratological or even a stylistic level

Full textThe history of home and that of the novel have crossed paths more than once, but hardly ever more so than in the nineteenth century, when literature and architecture began exploring new forms, the similarities of which were aptly pointed out by Philippe Hamon. At the time, both house and home were subjected to deep societal changes, and their worth as literary object was called into question: thus, home, which had long been a favourite topic of the realists, was shaken to its foundations. The very notion of representation lay at the crux of the crises the novel was going through. Around the 1980s, however, the novel began pivoting back towards fiction, thus reviving its core characteristic. Did this return to home promote new building permits, so to speak? Did it make home, as a literary trope, inhabitable once again ? This dissertation shall explore the motif of home in the complete works of four contemporary authors, namely J.M.G. Le Clézio, Pascal Quignard, Sylvie Germain and Marie NDiaye, as analyzed through the prism of sociological changes, as well as of novel-related problematics. By so doing, I hope to demonstrate that home still bears a slew of new perspectives for the fiction genre. I will put forward the notion of a ‘home novel’, which, just like the ‘adventure novel’, is endowed with its very own set of spaces, plots and characters. By delving into various domestic spaces, I shall bring out some of its key aspects, be they aesthetic or poetic, and wonder whether the novel might have become, in the times we live in, the safest and most hospitable haven at our disposal

Full textThe subject of this dissertation is to examine has the will to investigate French contemporary literature and its connections to art. We chose to study four French contemporary writers : Sylvie Germain, Pascal Quignard, Jean Echenoz et Jean Philippe Toussaint. The choice of novels from the last twenty years is motivated by the need to underline new propositions, symptomatic of a mutation in the literature field. Too many people speak about this period as a time of crisis. We are proposing new perspectives. Concerning our particular choice of those authors, all have personal relations with the image that we wish to analyse. The relations between a text and an image are difficult to analyse because there are as different as fundamentally linked. If the text makes sense, the image gives appearance. However, writing also means making an inscription and continuing the gesture. This anlysis offers a methodology to study a text in literature, motivated by an aesthetical interrogation and based upon a thematic approach. What seems for us interesting in this thesis is that we are asking questions about the contemporary literature with an aesthetical perspective. This analysis wants to underline relations between the text and the image in order to describe two tendencies in contemporary literature : one which makes the report of a disenchanted world and another that tends toward an ideal. Through all this work, our wish is to show how images give keys to the analysis of a text. As a conclusion, this thesis wants testify how relations between art and literature can be creative

Full textAbstract: Le Roi des Aulnes, Le Livre des Nuits et Nuit-D’Ambre have as a background for their narrative the great wars of the twentieth century, historical period that shaped a wide range of monsters. It is therefore relevant to analyse Abel Tiffauges, the protagonist of Tournier’s novel, Victor-Flandrin and Charles-Victor, the main characters of Germain’s books, from the perspective of the monster. Bearers of significant names and surnames, the characters make proof of behavioural peculiarities and particular appearance, which are characteristics of a monster, according to theories on monstrosity developed by José Gil, Julia Kristeva, and Sigmund Freud. Moreover, there is a tight connection between the progress of their monstrosity and the development of exterior violence, statement based on theory by Susan Neiman and Hannah Arendt. However, human nature is characterized by plasticity and the human being is the product of the oscillation between the instinctive, animal side and the human side. This ambivalence characterizes as well the three main characters that cannot be perceived exclusively from a monstrous perspective. The second part of this thesis analyses the aspects related to the humanity of the characters that trigger their positive transformation, focusing on the relationship of the protagonists with the Other fellow-man, as theorized by Ângela Fernandes and Emmanuel Lévinas. With the help of myths and intertextuality, both authors guide their characters from the monstrous side to the human one, closing the novels on a serene note, but providing the reader, too confident in the human nature, with a warning and an appeal for vigilance, regarding the monstrous side that can easily emerge in times of exterior violence.
