Full textThe aim of this thesis is to propose a new perspective of jean Giraudoux’s dramatic work through a notion of game. The work tries to demonstrate that this notion, studied through two different aspects, occupies a privileged place in the work of the dramatist as well in the construction as in the content. For instance, in the dramatic dialogue, very often, the game serve as vehicle for the exchanges between the dramatis personae. It permits the establishment of a dialogue or the encounter of some situations which would be unrealizable without his transition. From a structural point of view, the game also plays a preponderant role, and more particularly in the conception of the action and her progress. It can be the unic support of the action, if it is not, it contributes to the creation of some effects which render more efficacious the treatment of the action. The game scenes assure the embellishment of the key-moments of the action wheter the action weaves or clears up, because it also gives rise to a contrast with the action scenes which bring this into relief. In the end, Giraudoux is famous for the play on words that he distils into his plays. This study of the notion of game prove, once more, the profundity and the gravity of a work, more often estimated frivolous and superficial and disclose Giraudoux’s dramatic qualities, who knows how to charm the spectateurs and the readers

Full textThis comparative study bears on the plays written by jean giraudoux, la guerre de troie n'aura pas lieu (1935) and electre (1937), jean anouilh, tu etais si gentil quand tu etais petit ! (1969) as well as the dramatic monologues in yannis ritsos' poetic work, la quatrieme dimension (1975). The playwrights and poet increase the symbolic value of the classical myths of helen and clytemnestra through their innovating dynamic variants. The ambivalent figures of the twins are represented in the least familiar dimensions of their myths, offering each phase and age of female life and defending the values of the matriarchal religion which prevailed in pre-hellenic civilizations. As manifestations of a neolithic, almighty great goddess, those queens stand out in the literary imagination, bringing the legacy of their ancient religion : they abide by the laws of this supreme feminine deity whose main function of creation they fill. Helen's and clytemnestra's femininity is first analysed, whether it be sacralised or on the contrary demonized, leading to an interpretation of their love adventures. The second step of the study covers the manifestations of maternity, be it real or imaginary, even in its cosmic dimension. Lastly, the alliance established between the twins and the creatures in the universe is examined, as well as their wisdom and their privileged links with the supernatural. Those epicurean women elude any notion of morality, and illustrate both the benevolence and monstruosity of a sacred femininity

Full textThe present study aims to explore the dynamics of the amorous relationship between men and women as presented by Giraudoux in his theatrical work. It is posited that Giraudoux cannot perceive the individual outside the context of the couple. The coupe becomes a major reference for the author, where the individual defines and discovers him or herself relative to their partner. Crisis, which is at the heart of every relationship is defined by a series of continuous confrontations between the partners and is also the pint at which the individual wavers between finding refuge in indecision and happiness in the anticipation of their loved one. In Giraudoux’s plays love constantly changes and transforms the individuals, achieving perfection and completion within the lover’s discourse. In light of Nietzsche’s philosophy, Giraudoux creates in his plays a life where lovers, defying time and death, celebrate their humanness

Full textVisitors from outer space abound in giraudoux's dramatic universe. The invisible, however, does not necessarily appear as a super human being. Its dramatic status is related to the different realms of the world and, more precisely, to the human order. From siegfried to pour lucrece the invisible assumes different forms. According to its metamorphoses, the theatre of giraudoux can be divided into three main parts. The core of the work is the tragic phase (la guerre de troie and electre) where the invisible appears as a "silence-absence" entity prevailing over giraudoux's tragic world. The pre-and post-tragic phases represent the diverse playful temptations of the invisible. Is the invisible a character? he is, in fact, the main character in giraudoux's theatre, the one who gives it its unity and who commands its dramatic progression. The other characters develop in relation to him. His metamorphoses give a meaning to the entire work and transform giraudoux's dramatic universe into a unique fable with its own rhythm and identily, into a legend. Thus this study of dramatic art, extended to the limit of the semiology of theatre and bringing together in the same analysis the contributions of both author and director (giraudoux and jouvet in this case), their theory and praxis, demonstrates that the theatre is not the art of showing but of suggesting. It gives the last word to the spectator in a characteristic even exemplary manner

Full textMost of giraudoux's fiction was colpmeted between the two world wars. Contemporary with gide, and breton, giraudoux helped in his own way to alter the novel at the beginning of our century. Indeed, since the symbolist mouvement, the realistic pattern has been criticized, and particulary the hero of fiction. In the 19th century, he was conceived in a way that does not allow him to account for the complexity of mankind. For a long period of time, giraudoux refused to create characters and his first stories were written by an omnipresent narrator who deprived all those around him of any reality and prevented characters from existing. When he at last accepted to create heroes freed from the first person narrative, however, he didi not depict them very precisely - the portraits were just fake, the heroes were just stereotypes with no true-to-life features. Actually giraudoux tended to create archetypes assuming the anguish and the essential freams of mankind. That is why they are fraught with mytical refe- rences borrowed from various cultures. Giraudoux also wanted them to be above ordinary lives and tanked them as high as the great heroes of the epic and the tragedy. In stories which are often quite different from the ropmantic genre, we find "poetic characters"

The French dramatists Jean Giradoux and Jean-Paul Sartre revisited the tragic Greek legacy and wrote the plays Électre (1937) and Les mouches (1943), respectively. Both authors, in their texts, drew from myths concerned with the tragic actions that took place in Agamemnon s palace: the murder of Clytemnestra by her children, Orestes and Electra. This research is centered on the analysis and comparison between Giraudoux s and Sartre s plays aiming at identifying in them the elements that indicate both the relations between myth (mythical thought) and logos (theoretical reason) and that between myth and modern tragedy. It also shows the fact that Sartre s text, maintains a dialog with the Greek legacy, and also offers a philosophical counterpoint to Giraudoux s play. In order to reach our goals we have examined the phenomenon of myth under the light of the philosophy of language, of the sacred, of anthropology and of literature, a theoretical basis that we tried to connect with the theories of Aristotle and Hegel about drama.
Os dramaturgos franceses Jean Giraudoux e Jean-Paul Sartre revisitaram o legado trágico grego e escreveram as peças Électre (1937) e Les mouches (1943), respectivamente. Ambos os autores debruçaram-se, em seus textos, sobre os mitos que narram os trágicos acontecimentos ocorridos no palácio de Agamêmnon: o assassinato de Clitemnestra por seus filhos, Orestes e Electra. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar e cotejar entre si as peças de Giraudoux e Sartre no intuito de nelas levantar os elementos que apontam para as relações tanto entre mito (pensamento mítico) e logos (razão teórica) quanto entre mito e tragédia moderna, e, ainda, evidenciar o fato de que o texto de Sartre, além de dialogar com o legado grego, constrói-se em contraponto filosófico ao drama de Giraudoux. Para alcançar nossos objetivos, partimos de uma reflexão sobre o fenômeno do mito sob as perspectivas da filosofia da linguagem, do sagrado, da antropologia e da literatura, formando um conjunto teórico que buscamos articular às teorias do drama de Aristóteles e Hegel.

Full textPower of words is equalled by that of the objects in Jean Giraudoux’s theatre : this bet require a new approach inspired by the history of arts. From the end of nineteenth century mass production transformed the relationship between man, especially artists, and objects ; mechanization was greeted with enthousiam or reticences. Resituate this work in this context seems the best way in order to trait the objects. The challenge of this thesis consists in establishing that objects lie at the heart of Giraudoux’s theatrical creation. So it become necessary to trace the presence of objects in the text itself. Occurrences, caracterisations, personnification of the objects and reification of the characters, all this reveals a really sense of the concrete and lead us to examine the relationship between subject and object in depth. « Literary theatre » is compatible with the way for plays to get across. Giraudoux’dramatic choices raise between mimetic representation and derealisation : the spatio-temporal functionning of the objects creates new conventions and propose original meanings, but the character exists always. Rich variety of dramatic functions assigned to the objects are responsable for the theatrical efficiency of these theatre. Consequently, an innovating theatre which places objects in the centre of his play-writing. To define the poetics of Giraudoux’s object we should attach importance to intellectual debats which are materialized as well as objects are utilized playfully : seriousness and frivolity are not incompatible with a fertile and imaginative use of objects and a poetic use of detail. Giraudoux’s theatre offers its richness and complexity

Full textThe present thesis intends to propose a new analysis of a dramatic text and to predict a possible representation. Our purpose consists in searching for the "hard core" of the text, between the literary analysis and the psychological analysis. The means that we try to discover the principal pivot of the play-text. Naturally, we do have the intention of limiting the comprehensive possibilities of the play. Futhermore, the stimuli of the director are not rejected ; in contrast, we make an effort to help him to start from a more solid base, to have some references which could be used as a reflexion track. We chose to use as a model the dramatic works of Jean Giraudoux. The interpretation proposed combines two different approaching methods. Firstly, we realise an analysis based on the stage directions in the form of tables : the plays are defined through the stage presence of the heros, the quantity of their text, the dramatic relations and the conflicting relations among the "dramatis personae". Secondly, we apply a stylistic analysis by constructing a corpus of the most fruit ful metaphors in the plays of Jean Giraudoux, organised into motives characters and fields. Finally, we provide every character of the plays with the metaphor which is identified with it and then, we attempt to reveal the key-character of every play following its stage directions as well as its most significant metaphor

Full textRedefining the reality, Giraudoux’s playwriting seems to be a sort of passing through the looking glass.Only when situating Giraudoux’s work in its historical and literary context and getting rid of the conventional image of preciousness that one can appreciate the modernity of the text. For it is in the deep of the playwriting practice that Giraudoux’s virtuosity appears.Bringing the incantatory power of a poetic language to the theatre, the author affirms his rejection of prosaic. Playwriting is an art of composition. The playwright is dealing with the different elements of dramaturgy: language, character, time, space, and dramatic impulse… Moreover, the success of Giraudoux owes much to the talent of Jouvet. The theatre director knew how to transpose on stage, with a subtle blend of sensitivity and grandeur, passion and emotion, the unique glow of Giraudoux's poetic fantasy.In this thesis we intend to demonstrate that Giraudoux's playwriting is an area of an undiscovered modernity. His specificity is to play with the clichés of dramatic language in order to produce unexpected effects. This study starts with the specifics of the playwriting: language, stylistic elegance, stage directions, characters, time, space and play structure. Then, we investigate in Jouvet’s direction through the play’s premiere and finally we try to point out the specifics of the close collaboration between the two men

Full textOf the numerous studies devoted in recent years to the study of refutation, most have aimed to shed light on refutation in its logical-semantic structure. This thesis aims to show that refutation is a full-fledged art based, like the art of argumentation, on resistance to the words of other interlocutors in theatrical dialogue, in which the logical, dialogical, semantic, rhetorical and pragmatic dimensions combine. The analysis of theatre texts has allowed us to establish that refutation, in spite of the semantic evolution of the term, is associated with the violation of social doxa and its use via topoï, figures and proofs of derived discourse. It is also associated with negation and is supported by connectors that mark opposition among the points of view of the partners in dialogue. This study seeks to contribute to the current debate by proposing a research path that appears to have borne fruit

Full textThis thesis aims to study the return of the Greek tragedy into French theatre in the twentieth century, and to understand the significance applied to the Tragedy in the twentieth century focusing on some female figures. In this research, the following five French playwrights, authors of plays were chosen because they were inspired by characters of Greek Tragedy: Jean Giraudoux, Jean Anouilh, Jean Cocteau, Jean-Paul Sartre and André Gide.The return of Greek themes in French plays over the years shows us indeed just how valuable these finite sources of information and reference actually are and how much of an inspiration they have been. For this reason mainly, authors such as those mentioned above have not stopped bringing these old characters back to life in their plays. There is not any specific link with old civilization; it is but a look at the founding myths of the humanistic thinking. In terms of the methodology, work done in the 20th century with relation to classic Greek themes/ tragedy genre, has been selected specifically as a tool of studying more recent French theatre. The role played by these female characters in these plays has not been analyzed or looked at before in detail using this quantity of authors as a sample, making this thesis unique and an interesting contribution to the field.This study looks more deeply into the change or shift that took place when considering the role/character played by women in these plays, through the eyes of these male authors. After determining these distinctive female characters and their personalities and attitudes, the relationship between men and women can be analyzed and particular relationships, divided into 3 sections, namely will be analyzed and discussed: - Role and relationship of female characters from a political system perspectiveThis thesis will aim to conclude that the identity and status associated to female characters, for several centuries have been significantly less than the status of men, and more specifically in these olden Greek plays from the 20th century.The study predicts that in light of the recent changes and developments undergone by new French play writers, inspired by classic Greek genre has led to a paradigm shift and drastic improvement in the identity and status associated to the Female characters in these plays

Full textThe drama is one of the most beautiful realizations of the ancient dream of perpetual peace found in the works of poets and philosophes from Ovid to Kant, symbolized by Hector's efforts to close the gates of war forever. This work is a bitter attack on the poets who glorify war, personified by Demokos, whose ideology it denounces like that of The Last days of mankind by Karl Kraus. The antagonism between the illusions of Hector and the pessimism of Cassandra is also to be found in the drama of Karl Kraus. The drama of Giraudoux attacks a long tradition of the glorification of honor in the heroic death, evident since antiquity and exemplified in works from Homer to Shakespeare and Schopenhauer. There are many allusions to Briand and Poincaré. Hector seems to be an incarnation of Briand. Hector seems to be afraid of Poincaré's demands for reparation. He therefore tries to deny every damage, falsely denying that Helen ever committed adultery. Therefore no reason for a war of revenge exists after the restitution. But nemesis balks the efforts of the men of good will: war breaks out. The burlesque of adultery as a reason for a war lasting for ten years is at the same time a bitter attack of a vast literature which glorified it

Full textThe thesis highlights the cosmopolitan dimension of Jean Giraudoux’s dramatic works, taking into account their staging, critical reception and the theatrical context of the Third Republic during the interwar period. Being responsible for promoting cultural exchanges at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Giraudoux, who was Germanist and an enthusiast of foreign literature, considers the theatre as a privileged means to show the different ‘voices’ of humanity and compose a universal song. Certainly, as the reading of his political writings reveals, Giraudoux defended national interests as the head of General Information Commission in 1939-1940, and echoed stubborn prejudices in his intellectual milieu. But at the same time, to concretize the conception of the theatre of alterity, he devoted himself to the renovation of the dramatic language in close association with Louis Jouvet at L’Athénée. The analysis of his characters and themes shows that Giraudoux has constantly sketched figures of the Other and referred to foreign cultures to demonstrate his philosophy of cosmopolitanism. Exploiting of Louis Jouvet’s archives in the National Library of France, concerning the stages produced by Jouvet, the thesis will think that Giraudoux’s dramatic world takes on an appearance both exotic and heteroclite that could disturb the Parisian public. While, exported outside of France during the tours of Jouvet’s troupe and adapted in foreign languages by his literary friends, Giraudoux’s theatre would be appreciated and recognized by various international audiences as a French attempt to represent the diversity of the world

Full textAttempting to define other cultures is a risky enterprise. When looking at the other, the observing culture seizes upon anything that seems useful to it, and ignores anything that does not fit in with its particular world view. Thus, a stereotype is born to serve as the simplest - and the most simplistic - point of reference. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the way that cultural and/or racial stereotypes are treated in some modern french texts. The way other cultures are perceived in the popular imagination is revealed through the study of popular texts, which keep original contributions on the part of the author to a minimum. Secondly, the way in which authors who are considered more subtle or "literary" integrate or exploit cultural stereotypes in their work is examined. What techniques do they use to allow the other's culture to escape the immobility and the simplification inherent in stereotyping? thus, the selected texts become progressively more complex as we distance ourselves from the popular imagination, and enter the personal imaginations of the following authors: 1) asterix, comic books by rene goscinny and albert uderzo, 29 volumes since 1961. 2) les carnets du major thompson, a novel by pierre daninos, 1954. 3) le caporal casse-pompon, a song by jacques brel, 1961. 4) siegfried et le limousin, a novel by jean giraudoux, 1922. 5) le hussard sur le toit (1951), a novel, and voyage en italie (1954), a travel narrative, by jean giono. 6) desert (1980), le chercheur d'or (1985) and onitsha (1991), novels by j.

Full textThe Erinyes come from the depths of "religious" thought, before any official religion. Writers before Aeschylus referred to their function rather than to their form; they were the implacable persecutors of those who had trespassed a natural or moral law, especially of matricide. When they become anthropomorphous in the third tragedy of "The Oresteia", “The Eumenides", they claim to be ancient goddesses, while the gods of Olympus are "young gods", Aeschylus tried to show that even primitive creatures could be tamed by the wise laws and the "civilized" gods of Athens. Yet they remain menacing in the human thought through the centuries, till our time. J. Giraudoux in "Electra", J. P. Sartre in "The Flies", and T. S. Eliot in "The Family Reunion" use the Erinyes as characters of these plays, propose an interpretation of their role, and offer a way out for the persecuted, some hope of escaping them or changing them into benevolent "beings". However, at the end of all three plays, we feel that they are still there, "deeper than all sense", deeper than conscious thought, even deeper than faith

Full textNeste projecto pretendemos evidenciar a profunda crise que atinge as sociedades dos anos 30 e 40 e que Jean Giraudoux transpôs na sua obra dramática. Desse modo, estudámos quatro peças do dramaturgo numa perspectiva sociológica. As obras seleccionadas para o nosso corpus são Judith, La guerre de Troie n’aura pas lieu, Sodome et Gomorrhe e La Folle de Chaillot. O nosso estudo foi dividido em quatro partes em que apontámos, de início, algumas questões teóricas e metodológica acerca da sociologia da literatura e da sociologia do teatro. As outras partes da dissertação abrangeram o estudo do nosso corpus literário através de três domínios: o mítico e religioso, o privado, e o público. No primeiro domínio, apresentámos as ligações que as obras tecem com a tradição, as inovações das adaptações teatrais de Giraudoux, assim como as relações ou lutas que existem entre os Homens e o divino e o destino/a fatalidade. Seguidamente, dedicámo-nos ao domínio privado tendo em conta, por um lado, as divisões que se verificam entre as personagens e, por outro, as causas e os remédios do vazio interior que assombra a vida dos homens. A resolução da crise parece residir no Amor, na originalidade. Por fim, analisámos o domínio público tentando relacionar as obras não só com o contexto político, histórico, social e cultural, mas também com as ideologias antagónicas de cada um, mostrando as soluções que o dramaturgo defende no nosso corpus, isto é, a Razão, o papel da mulher, a harmonia entre Estado, Humanidade, Natureza.

Full textThe moral and ethical choices made during the Nazi Occupation of France would echo for generations: they served as a source of pain and pride when the French sought to rebuild their national identity after the ignominy of the defeat, and acted as the foundation for the intellectual legacy on which post-war life stands.
In my dissertation I examine the diverse trajectory of two writers, Jean-Paul Sartre and Jean Giraudoux, during the Occupation by focusing on their dramatic works. During this period, no writer could legally exercise his vocation and receive compensation without submitting to certain legalities designed to monitor the content of artistic output. Therefore, any author who published did, at least in some small way, collaborate. This particular line in the sand has become blurred with time and usage. Critics and intellectuals, not to mention the legal system, have initially categorized artists' politics, then, when the boundaries (or public opinion) have shifted, they have chosen to reclassify. Collaborationist, resistant, or neutral - these three convenient labels cannot do justice to the vast array of colors in the Occupation-era landscape.
Writers, like the public at large, responded to the Occupation by becoming extreme collaborators, opportunists, simply earning their daily bread, or becoming fierce resistants, with an infinite number of various roles in between. Although critics have historically attempted to evaluate Jean-Paul Sartre's and Jean Giraudoux's actions in order to classify them as "resistant" or "collabo," this is a reductive act. Both men, like so many Frenchmen of this period, made an infinite number of small and large decisions that refracted their post-war image according to which critic held the prism. The historiography with regards to this era has dramatically changed. Must the manner in which we "categorize" these two authors not change accordingly?
With this question in mind, I have carefully studied the authors' primary texts (plays, essays, critiques, memoirs, and letters). In particular, I focus on their theatrical offerings: Les mouches, Huis clos, and La folle de Chaillot, as these are their best-known works of the era. Next, I examined biographies of the Sartre and Giraudoux (as well as other major historical, political, and literary figures) in order to gain as much background information as possible, and moreover, to identify both tendencies and discrepancies with regards to the authors. After this I sifted through the contemporary press related to these two authors, including theatrical reviews of their plays, their own publications in order re-evaluate the Occupation-era theatrical offerings of Sartre and Giraudoux. I have chosen to focus mainly on their plays from the era, as it those are their best-known works, and the those which had the most influence, in creating their political legacy and reputation during the Occupation. Finally, I applied the theories from contemporary historians - Robert Paxton, Henry Rousso, Philippe Burrin, and Gisèle Sapiro among others - in order to develop my own analysis of the theater of Sartre and Giraudoux and their post-war legacy.
Themes centering on guilt and condemnation abound during the war, especially in these three works. Fueled by De Gaulle's myths of an almost unilaterally resistant French population, the immediate post-war period focused on deliverance from an exterior enemy. However, contrary to popular interpretation, the plays in my corpus condemn the enemy within, the French betrayal of the French.
