Full textThis study ponders the conditions of emergence of the play Le Roi pêcheur by Julien Gracq in the theatrical context of the fifties and its place in Julien Gracq's work. After showing the fascination of the author for drama in general - already perceptible in the previous texts, Au Château d'Argol, Un beau ténébreux -, and analysing the scenic adventure of Le Roi pêcheur, our reading develops around fundamental dramatic notions. First, it proposes a reflection on the elaboration of the story through its link with the myth of Grail but also with the most important gracquian "intercesseurs", Wagner, Rimbaud, surrealism, Breton. The study, then, tries, to demonstrate the structures of space and time in Le Roi pêcheur as exhibited in the primary and secondary text. It goes on with an analysis of the dramatic personae and dramatic dialogue trying to show the configuration of the characters, their place in the secondary text, and the main form of the verbal communication (polylogues, dialogues, monological tendencies in the dialogues) lastly, it delineates the spell cast by the seduction of its language, of the myth of the quest and of its impossible closure in order to show how Gracq, after the manner of his fictions, was able to find with Le Roi pêcheur an original voice which is probably easier to listen to today

Full textThe literary work is a complex anthropological and cultural reality requiring an anthropological reading which itself is complex. Such a redefinition of the very nature of the knowledge concerning this cultural production modifies the very nature of its transmission. With the anthropological reading of the literary work, and provided one controls and goes beyond the multiple textual approaches suggested by the contemporary critic thanks to a complex approach, the model of which is the one of the cultural anthropology, the high school teacher has at his disposal a method which allows him to define his own knowledge in an epistemological way and the conditions of its transmission to the apprentice-reader represented by his student. In this particular outlook, the reading of the literary work and the training of such a reading become, in turn, anthropological and cultural acts and develop a progressive consciousness of the young reader towards his own culture as well as other cultures. Such consequences or such elements at stake can also be called rationality, hermeneutic view, representation of the world, questions about the meaning, religious dimensions of culture, citizenship, cultural alterity. The aim of the present thesis is not only to theorize about the literary fact and its teaching, but also to suggest , thanks to the experience of teachers and trainers, a pedagogical and educational set-up in the form of segmented and progressive training scheme. Thus, as regards the high school student, the appropriation of the different steps in the anthropological reading of the literary work, and the conscious and autonomous development of his own culture will be facilitated
Michel, Raymond. "Lectures d'"Un balcon en forêt" de Julien Gracq : l'écriture de la fiction." Nancy 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997NAN21005.
Full textThe analysis of Julien Gracq's Un balcon en forêt is based on propositions elaborated in Temps et récit by Paul Ricoeur, who considers fiction as the "time-keeper". The study aims at linking comprehension, interpretation and explanation of the functioning of the text (the "configuration"), at questioning the relation between history (the "phoney war") and fiction, ans at making clear the operation of "refiguration" performed by the reader to build meaning. It first proposes an interpretation of the frame of the fiction in its paratextual organization and its strategic places. The analysis, then, strives to demonstrate how the gracquian text makes the marks of enunciation in fiction waver. The study of temporality does demonstrate that beyond the linearity of fiction a subtle game of anachronies appears, which tends to refuse every kind of referential reading, as the text weaves singular and iterative narrations. As time seems to have stopped, space then occupies an important place : conflictual, it takes on a symbolical and poetical signification, fundamental for the comprehension of the fiction. The study of diegesis in its three elements (pragmatic, cognitive, thymic) shows that in Un balcon en forêt, action is superseded by what is felt and suffered. Thus, a very strict analysis of the textual manifestation allows us to demonstrate how fictional writing is contested by poetical writing, which prefers a paradigmatic structuring. However, even if the gracquian text works in a "closed circumference" it avoids all formalist closure ; on one hand, it appears as a sequence of "imaginative variations on time", on the other hand it leaves initiative to the reader who has become the true producer of an ambiguous and elliptical fiction, and finally, it is "fertilized" by literature and makes sense with reference to an intertext which is always solicited
Defaye, Christelle. "Julien Gracq, texte et sexe : lecture d'une aporie érotique." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BOR30027/document.
Full textReading a fiction by Gracq feels similar to lovers’ delight. To become a Gracq reader, you must accept to be delighted, captured and enchanted all at once. The hermeneutic dispossession experienced through Gracq’s fiction is clearly erotic. No matter how secondary, thin and sporadic, the theme of eroticism may be, it seems to be running throughout the lost profile of the text. All set up and cleared of its substance, the sexual scene disappears from the eyes of the reader-voyeur whose expectation is frustrated. Fiction manages to cover up sex by setting desire within the plot and the reading. The presence-absence of erotic fantasy, as stereotyped and obsessive as it may be, is best consecrated at the crossroads of three impossible matters: sex, women and death. Eroticism by Gracq turns out to be a void around which the reader is waltzing and that the writing manages to grasp. Is the path of eroticism aporetic? It is not that this path is a dead end but rather that the reader is invited to advance and digress in this aporia. Eroticism is always moved, buried within the palimpsest of the landscape. With his successive unmoulding and moulding of words, it becomes clear that language is eroticised with Gracq. He doesn’t picture sex, he features it in his text until it pleases him –all this in the other, that is to say the reader’s eyes. In Julien Gracq’s work, the libidinal issue of literarity is at stake: Gracq’s eroticism transfigures flesh into a pulpit. From sex to text, the author takes on a posture of seduction. The text forms a screen between him and the Other, that is to say the reader. Sex has become text, limen, a border, an essential in-between. It has become the hymen, a touching space between one and the other. The meeting, though often portrayed as impossible, can then happen
Nagaï, Atsuko. "Julien Gracq et la guerre." Angers, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995ANGE0012.
Full textWhile admitting that his views on the world are limited by his origins and the environment in which he had been brought up and he now lives, julien gracq finds, in that very limitation, one of the reasons why authors write. When he writes about his own memories of the war in his essays, he takes into account insignificant experiences that are exceptional to the chronological description of the war situations, or to the generalized thought on the war. Gracq's attitude is reflected thoroughly, not only in his novels that are inspired by the memories of wars, but also in his critiques on the contemporary literature; he resists, in his critical works, the abandonment of the personal judgement and taste that he finds in the present literary situations
Perrin, Dominique. "Crise collective et écriture romanesque chez Julien Gracq." Lyon 2, 2006. http://theses.univ-lyon2.fr/documents/lyon2/2006/perrin_d.
Full textThe works of Julien Gracq claim their belonging to the sphere of literature - in opposition to other forms of expression and writing - and their independance from the law of the market. Our purpose is to fully understand the range of this claim of independance through a series of questions : what would be Gracq’s definition of literature ? What values and what kind of relationship to society are induced by this particular definition ? In order to answer those questions the present essay particularly focuses on the writer’s speeches and interviews and tries to explore the historical context of his creation. The rise of fascism in the 1930ies was to prove of great significance for Gracq, not only as far as his political comittment - in the Communist party - is concerned, but also because it is at the core of his very process of writing. The writing of his novels can thus be understood in the light of his experience of this major crisis in european thought and tends to contradict the established image of a writer whose work would be « out of his time »

Full textThe two first narratives julien gracq comparses to the phases of personal illustrate the effort distinction between the self and the other one as well as their confusion through the reflections that trifle with the intimacy and the outside. The water where derives the emblematic figuration of ophelia is also narcissus's mirror. The knowledge of oneself founded on the approach of the inacessible other one, exposes the desire to rivality by mimicry and to sacrificial times. Under the revealing mask of the double or of the androgyne, duality and unity permeate pagan, biblicas, religious figurations that seem to come from an intuition of attraction obsessing the universal thought. If the mytical figurations of the double or of the androgyne cannot be supports of meaning without the mirror or the mirage of the other one, the reason is that intersubjectivity remains the ways of an oneselfs quest where philosophy relays imaginary. The conceptual chineese approach of insipidity and of yi king supposes the same connection between what is hidden and what is manifested, being at work in reality. For the east as far the west, vagueness is prior to the discovery and the realization of the unknown potentialities, promising rimbaud, faust or don juan, one elsewhere or one otherwise reviving desire to infinity. According to japoneese thought, right way, reverse, represent the two centres of attention governing the relations between subjectivities. The process of dissociation and unification of one subject depends on the degree of acceptance of an intimate ambivalence that is hidden at argol under the problem of sexuality. The attempt to seize occult powers, to approach mysteries can free a space of unknown meaning, open a way towards the formless as a possible innermost understanding, even not convertible into concepts

Full textThe hereby thesis is in line with a double prospect. First, it draws uo around the theoretical study which tries to review the links, the convergence between the myth an its re-invastment, and the litterature which, in addition to its potentiality to appear as an act of creation becomes the choise's place of the myth that makes possible, beyond any palimpsast, its survival, its permanence. The empirical part of our corpus is developped out of a location of a thematic network that permits to order to our study a problematic which is inspired by the omnipresent metaphor in lullien Gracq's work, the one of "the life's way". That appears less in its linearity than in its symbolic concentricity, implicating the initiation of man looking for a lost maeaning. This initiation cornes from a dream of final reality that fulfils the man and is at the origin of a process of transformation tha permits the arrivaI of the new man, the one who succeeded in going back to the earth's strengths the one who succeded inreturning to the world's unity. The Gracq's search swere from the idea of a physical trip and the imaginary where geographic places permit to bury in depht of the psyche, and where the other intercedes as a constituent element of the strucuration of the identity

Full textThe image of horizon appears as an important and transitive element which allows us to travel through all the novel work of julien gracq. It is also an organisation principle which structures its tales. Its opening on the invisible takes an important place. It inscribes the invisible in the visible. Gracq's universe is not anchored in the reality, because its true gravity centre is in the invisible, beyond the appearances of a sensitive world pictured with accurateness and fascination. The unquenchable desire of the horizon always attracts the look-out persons in front who are searching for a tireless quest of the beyond of the visible world; it is also there the meaning of the gracq quest, which does not lie in its achievement, but in the eternal pursuit, the untiring research of an inaccessible horizon. Gracq means especially to adapt his style, his rhetoric, his way of writing on the theme of horizon. In this work, we will follow step by step the creating process of his "archaic themas" in order to grasp on live the characteristics tracks of a "modern writing", and the gracq quest, by the image of horizon

Full textThe world and the library are the most important topics in Julien Gracq's works : that is coming from two prospects which the writer sets off: human being is like a plant in nature, on the earth ; the library is like a cocoon in which writing may soar. When J. Gracq writes about the world, he tells us about familiar places and people his favourite places like the road, the high way, some typical places (Aubrac, Landes), some places which he dislikes, and also he describes how the world is developping. All the places visited allow him to introduce in his fictions the world with water, forests, trees, meadows, fields, deserts, steppes, moors, mountains. The J. Gracq's library is made with intercessors and wakers up, such as Jules Verne, Edgar Poe, Stendhal, Wagner, André Breton. And also favourite writers. But mainly the J. Gracq's library is the one of an eclectic man who takes also into account the Bible. Many different books that he has read flow into writing. All the materials are put together, set in their own place, composed according to a litterary purpose: fixed constellations, connections, concretions, contiguities, rewriting make him able to link places and books. Lautreamont, Chateaubriand, Rimbaud, "Bajazet" by Racine, "Beatrix" by Balzac, Barbey d'Aurevilly, "Penthesilee" by Kleist, Junger, Novalis, and ovon Nerval, Baudelaire, Claudel, Proust also in spite of some reserves
Bergassoli, Christine. "Amour et catastrophe dans l'oeuvre romanesque de Julien Gracq." Aix-Marseille 1, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994AIX10036.
Full textThe romantic work of julien grack from au chateau d'argol to the short story entitled le roi cophetua appears as a description of man and the world which surrounds him, and as an attempt to answer to the mystery of life. Passing through imaginary spaces which come before them and determine their evolution the characters must face at once a love and catastrophe brings to light the struggle setting the man against the woman and against the world. But the progressive vanishing of catastrophe for the benefit of the only love affair reveals the reconciliation of this man with the woman and with the world. Then love appears as a positive answxer to the mystery of revelation. Revelation consists of the complete release of the man and his harmony with the world. Therefore, the novels of julien gracq comply with the quest that two literarty movements which have fed them were pursuing. These two movements are german romanticism and surrealism. Thenovels of julien gracq reveal what the writer calls "l'embellie tardive" that is the reconquest by means of love of freedom

Full textGracq's work evidences an esthetics of expectation which, paradoxically, is fulfilled and perfected in deception. It is thus more than an expression of the hopes and frustrations of a generation, and also more than a mirror held up to the reader's own imaginary projections. Neither can this paradoxical work be reduced to an esthetic solution or way out of the contemporary crisis of fiction. Julien Gracq's drama and fiction bear numerous traces of the cultural system inherited from Christianity and of the founding narratives of Christianity, and as such they may be considered to have been deliberately composed as an answer to an artistic crisis, iself a symbol of a broader cultural crisis. The present hermeneutic reading takes up the literary work under analysis as an objectivation (or at least a partial one) of a given culture, and intends to open a path towards the cutural representations and articulations which are likely to be the basis for a certain in-depth meaning of literary works. However, the explanatory procedure runs parallel with an attempt to elucidate the relation between the literariness of Gracq's work and its anthropological and cultural nature

Full textAccording to his own testimony, landscape, ubiquitous in Gracq's work, stands for his loyalty to geography, his original discipline, as well as for his wish to amend the conflictive relationship between man and the environment manifested by the contemporary literature. Thus, tributary in its conception to the founders of French geography at the beginning of the 20th century, Gracq's landscape becomes vector of an onto-ethics bringing about a clash of ideas between his work and his contemporary fellow writers' one. Focusing a limited period in his work, 1938-1960, whose intellectual paradigm takes shape in the light of the notion of "créneau temporal" of the artist, forged by the writer himseIf, this study does not pretend to define Gracq's Iandscape but to question and thus reconstruct the philosophy underlying it. An ontology, presupposing an original "geographicity", and an ethics interpreting the assumption by man of this primarily condition as his responsibility for the Barth as home of the mortals results into an anthropology governed by Antaeus, son of Gaia, mythical hero whose strength vitally depends on his contact with the ground, his mother earth. Dominated by the "human plant", that embodies Gracq's idea of the relationship between man and world, this anthropology also counts among its figures an "errant throughout the world" ("errant par le monde") and a man "entangled with landscape" ("homme entortillé dans le paysage")

Full textIn Julien Gracq's first three novels, cognition partakes of an initiatory quest which does not refer to any particular object or message, but demands from the characters a staging of their very existence. This is carried out by a decyphering of desirable signs that prescribe the requirements of reading; the energizing circulation of theses signs determines the dynamics of elements and the organizing of space - the latter being directed to the emergence of a staging of revelation. The temporal dimension of these novels leads to revelation along two undissociable axes: first, a signs-involving anagogical continuity; then, a discontinuity leading to the irruption of the present - this being simultaneously an opening-up and a closing-down process which reveals a tragic dimension. The action is irreversible, yet the emergence of a stage for Parousia can never be certain, in so far as it is dependent on a "present de la presence" which necessarily remains exterior to any novel-like representation. The tragic dimension redoubles the various ways the characters achieve a coherent reading of signs, either in a lyric or an epic mode; it also turns the narration processes (stage, myth, and story) into a space for reading to assert itself in. This imparts a radically cryptic undertone to the quest, in the expression of its object and in its major figures (sacrifice) as well as in the definition of its subjects

Full textDandyism is approached as a figure of a cultural and decadent resistance to modern egalitarism. The aesthetic points illustrated by dandyism are confronted with the grand movement of social and historiographical thought of the 19th century. They translate in fact a recording of kantian criticism in the artistic manifestation of the second half of the century and the sentimental emergence of the absurd in advance on the beginning of the twentieth century. It is such by the skew of the interdisciplinary game that some large transitional figures (as Jacques Vaché) are approached, to show how they introduce the action of a new literary psyche into the century. Moreover, this new psyche manifests itself according to clearly identifiable psychic effects, because of the radicalisation that they operate of the relationaship with the body. These are the obsessional recurrences of dandyism and they organise themselves clearly around death, the dominant theme. Death offers itself as a privileged vector for psychocritical analysis, to study the modalities of the body representation, hypertrophied by the aesthetic of dandyism, and put them in relation with literary creation. The gracquian corpus signals itself right away by the line tied between an exaggerated literary dandyism - that we can observe through the posture of the author and his characters - and a game of morbid fascination. The thesis must surmont the difficulty of an opposition or a theoretical solution to philosophical approaches of death, of a phenomenology of the eye relationship with the body, demarcate and define the mechanism of literary regression, evaluate her stakes into creation, distinguish words, distinguish deaths, define the cathartic game put in action by the look on the face of the cadaver and by the look on the Gracq's dandy character. .

Full textMy thesis led me compare the various effects of the landscapes, their strength and their ambiguities over the characters in the novels of the two authors. They claim to be more inspired by the geography of the places where their heroes are in action by the historical context in which the time of the narrative is embedded. The presence of landscape is a constant pattern with Julien Gracq and Michel Tournier. One could believe that they have two different writing styles, or that their references or thoughts as the effects of landscape over the psyche or the actions of the characters in the narrative are further apart-it is misleading. The more the reader absorb their writings, the more they can witness among the two lonely writers a common cosmological, sacred and poetical approach to the world, a curiosity and a deep respect for what one can see and appreciate but by taking into account the natural elements of the omniscient landscape. The two "geographical landscapists" do not systematically fail to mention the historical aspects. Yet, what prevails in the plot is the eternal nature rather than the temporal aspects of the context. The lanscape acts as though is were an invisible "puppeteer" behind the scene of the world, puts the pressure of the puppet-like protagonists in order to make them alive. Tournier controls the thoughts, perniciously and ironically acts over his hero in the key moments of the action, therefore becoming an essential pattern of the story. Gracq - present right from the very first lines of the novel - will end up changing his view over the universe throught a process of unconscious imitation. As a result of this mixing - almost like a physical fusion - time becomes useless and life of people is pushed into the background, hindering the two author's characters in decision-making thanks to its magnetic and destructive power

Full textIn four acts, on an imaginary stage, two closely-linked schools of literature mingle. At first, the different kinds of heroines and their counterparts present all their wardrobes, their mime and stage movements, their significant poses. Then, the main ideas explode like so many carnivorous flowers. Evil and dream a like expose their literary theories. At last, the scenery starts relating, as if in a long journey, the meaning of their roles and their strange existence. Finally the curtains open, the lights come up and the audience can intervene : the reign of the word and the image has come; the wheel has turned full circle just as a merry-go-round, and can return again to the motionless shadow
Bouallègue, Sami. "Représentations de l'histoire dans l'œuvre de Julien Gracq." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040058.
Full textThe main hypothesis of this thesis is: Julien Gracq’s works are the expressions of a privileged relationship linking the author to History. It is evident, however, that this link is not limited to a pure historiographical writing or to a simple testimony. It is rather a specific form of literary representation that covers a complex issue, namely: the past, the present and evolution of living entities in the universe. Via analyzing a corpus of four narratives, my ambition is to connect the literary works to the other fields of knowledge and cognition, with which literature makes a continuum. Throughout these works, History turns to mean that we must understand the continuity between the two fundamental dimensions of historical time and space, and how they are enshrined into a literary artifact that transforms them into a “poetry of history” (“Poésie de l’histoire”). In a first phase, I will try to identify how historical time is felt and then expressed trough the notion of event. This very notion of event will then enable me to explore gracquian geographical space through the various statutes it takes in the literary work. The third part of this thesis will describe the different discursive strategies used to transform historical time and space into literary artifact. The main inspirations for this thesis are the works of Paul Ricoeur (Temps et récit ; La Mémoire, l’Histoire, l’Oubli) and Hayden White (Metahistory)

Full textIt is now possible to have a global vision of gracq's works. As julien gracq stopped writing fiction after 1970, the features of the investment of the self and the main axes of the imaginary can be defined by taking into account the novelistic, poetic, critical, autobiographical aspects. In order to throughly understand the writing modes of the gracq self, it is necessary to study the writer's relationship towards literature and andre breton's emblematic figure. Like in traditional autobiographies, gracqian writing neither dismisses the filiations in the strict sense of the word nor the more literary ones, built and imagined. Gracqian writing proposes a somewhat classical pattern of memory, but the author never undertakes to make a complete narration of his private life; by means of a fragmentary style of writing, he offers a literary, sometimes ambiguous image of the self. This work of literary composition finds its full meaning in an intimate relation to time and space, first of all in the representations of childhood presented as true personal myths. On the other hand, gracqian autobiographical writing is extremely dependent on history. Studying the relation of the self to space reveals new data: the urban space, first of all the city of nantes, offers possibilities of imaginary projections, always present in the works, that have been easy to identify since un beau tenebreux. Strolling in life and literature, gracq grants growing importance to the representations of the self and the town, thus bringing to light the relation of privacy to the main favorite themes of his works

Full textThe historical conjunctures of the twentieth century led Julien Gracq, Ernst Jünger and Mircea Eliade to carry out a far-reaching investigation into History, one which implied a critique of historical determination and its underlying terms : a lineary and continuous temporaliity as the vector of constant progress. For these three writers the refusal of history signified nothing less than the rebuttal of all those historicisms which tend to only consider the historical dimension of the individual. If all three directed their energies towards the domain of myth, which constituted the major twentieth century discovery of historical science, it is certainly not because they were unconcerned with History. On the contrary, their way of engaging with the domain of myth, one which goes naturally with the exploration of other temporal dimensions than linear ones, reinvents and goes beyond the traditional opposition between myth and History. This exploration and the reflection it engenders cannot but be perceptible in the way Gracq, Jünger and Eliade view literature

Full textA challenge. This is how the reading of ducasse's work could be qualified. The hermetisme of his poetical works seems to discourage even the hermetically experienced readers, but which, in reality, invites them to taste <> whitch are les chants. . . And poesies. From challenge to risk, from risk to interpretation, from interpretation to the history readings, such is the progress of the critical reception of lautreamont and his works. From an aesthetic experience to anather, lautreamont proves more and more accessible and more and more readable. Thanks to critical works of leon bloy, andre breton, salvador dali, gaston bachelard, maurice blanchot, philippe sollers, and many others, the reading of ducasse's poetical works materializes in a production of critical texts. They attest to the reception of lautreamont, to his eminent place in the process of reading

Full textIn the literature of the twentieth century, in a general way, and in the fictions of Julien Gracq, in a particular way, the presence of the dialogue cannot limit itself in the objective to represent the reality. It follows that one of the objectives of our investigation means questioning the roles played by the written dialogue in the representation within the novels of Julien Gracq but, at the same time, the diverse functions played by the written dialogue within the same novel. These operations are made to see if there’s a change and, consequently, a specificity in the status of the dialogue relative of gender of text from which the dialogue is extracted. Our main concern consists, thus, in showing that the written dialogue plays a fundamental role in the construction of the narrative text. Moreover, we shall see that the analysis of this discursive space will allow enumerating some problems relative to the interpretation and to the meaning within Julien Gracq’s text

Full textThe notion of place, as consecrated space, is at the heart of the imaginary representations of three major French-speaking authors of the twentieth century: Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz (1878-1947), Jean Giono (1895-1970) and Julien Gracq (1910-2008). While the sublime character of the sacred or "numinous" place appears in their works as an Epiphany, supported by a way of writing which appeals to "polysensoriality", it nevertheless contributes to revealing Otherness. Their writing makes it apparent, that they wonder whether there actually exists a specific shape of space and of the individual, as altered by the traumas of the twentieth century, and whether resilience is possible. Thus each author contributes in his own manner to this attempt at "re-enchantment" of the world. The poetics of the place runs through the works of these writers while transcending the literary genres. Because it is a fundamental value, it is the thread which connects various forms of writing so that it sketches a private geography, that of the imaginary representation, therefore effecting the transition from the genius loci to the genius of writing. However, this sacredness of the place is only possible in so far as the place is conceivable as ontologically independent. Mainly defined by the substance which gives it its shape, it plays with the notion of "artialisation" and thwarts mimesis in order to try to restore a link between man and his capacity to "inhabit" the world. This poetics feeds on an "inverse projection", namely on the feeling of transience which is experienced by the "human plant" as a measure of the "size of man", a scale of values which is required to "make the world sing"

Full textThe chevet was chosen as a tool for this study because it represents for us the very writing of Gracq : observation, memory retrieval, transmutation, all these steps not only involve the concept of chevet, but they are also fully Gracq’s writing. From the outset, we say it is not to hunt the individual, but always to look how intimacy close seeps into the language. For the chevet or rather the image of the chevet symbolizes the intimate of Gracq. This image is plural and guides us through our three focal areas. First of all, listening inside the writer leaves appear the chevet of the world that is perceived with great clarity of perception. This inner listening will also reveal an intense set at the chevet of the self : Gracq listens to himself, recalls, ties a pact of close intimacy with himself. Which tends to exclude the reader but the reader nonetheless manages to resonate with the language. Finally, if we still listen to the writing, we see a strong permanence of the imaginary in spite of an evolution of writing

Full textSamuel beckett, julien gracq, henri michaux were writing in an epoch in which the power of man was put into question, through his own strengh, symbolised by hiroshima. For the first time in history, a warlike impulse became a threat of final destruction. It was during those years of cold war that the three authors started to distrust words and meaning. They chose the way of "wandering" in order to loosen writing from a knowledge acquired through the ages. The "wandering" text is a place of conflict: - the conflict between the words full of desire of a son whose certainties were forfeited to the ghost of a father who was willing to impose the words of an obsolete will and power. -the conflict between the emphasis on words that gives rise to an unpronounceable statement and the decanting of words to bring speech back to the dictator, against aphasia, the "wandering" writing is evolving towards a language for oneself, with no heritage, not to be transmitted. However it is a language that allows progression and gives way to a literature free from the words of power, of will, of knowledge. The "passing", "wandering" text conveys a mental empression of its history

Full textDespite a deep and enduring disaffection in thought and artistic création from the end of the 19th century. The sublime, a category at the junction of rhetorics. Aesthetics and philosophy. Is used again by several art and literature thinkers in the last third of the 20th century (J. F. Lyotard. J. Derrida. J. L. Nancy, etc). At the extent of being sometimes presented as the privileged read mode of 20th century art. This thesis sets out to observe to which extent. Although the authors themselves don't claim to belong to an aesthetic of the sublime, the works of Breton. Bataille. Blanchot and Gracq come close to such aesthetic and meamvhile renew its meaning. Its stakes and its implications. This work First sets out to analyze in setting these works back in context. The political dimension of such aesthetic and to highlight the influence of the Terror as a myth of writing in the work s of Breton. Bataille, Blanchot. And to a lesser extent. Gracq. Subsequently. This study shows how these works. Influenced by new psvchoanalytic sciences and the development of anthropological and prehistoric knowledge proceed to a reversal of the traditional movement and values of the sublime and which are constructed as a quest for an original sublime situated on this side of Man even more than in any afterlife. The last two parts study the two types of aesthetics that emanate from this corpus: an aesthetic of the sublime \\hich is positive \\ith Breton and Gracq and negative with Bataille and Blanchot

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to point out typical features of the aesthetics common to surrealism and the renaissance's emblematics. The first part will analyze the similarities between the twentieth century "collages" and the structure of emblem books from sixteenth to seventeenth century: in both cases the quest for a new language may be seen to have links with the replacement of symbolism and theological thought with semiotics and the arbitrariness of the linguistic sing. We will then study how Breton’s, Gracq's and Butor's works coincide with a reappearance of the emblematic mode, in the way that the grounds and purposes of symbolism are displayed yet questioned through writing. The last part deals with the treatment of space, time and myths in these texts; man is shown as an "homo emblematicus" torn between his fascination for symbols and the silence of the signs

Full textProperly speaking, epics have not been written in France for two centuries, but the genre continues to influence contemporary literature. In particular, the “double image” of the epic as the Romantic thinkers construed it still informs both the reinterpretation of classical epics and the contemporary novel. On the one hand, it legitimizes the present by condemning the epic to the past, but without ceasing to perpetrate it as a universal monument. The works of numerous philologists such as Georges Dumézil or Madeleine Biardeau bear witness to this disparity. For their part, translators of epic literature such as Philippe Jaccottet or Pierre Klossowski criticize in diverse ways the philological paradigm and its paradoxes. On the other hand, the romantics invented an epic register which tries to retain the essence of the epic as a genre, transferring it to the novel. However, the texts of Jean Giono, Julien Gracq and Claude Simon indicate that this “epic style” inherits the difficulties of the epic genre itself when it comes to the modern age, even calling into question the modern understanding of literature. Finally, modern adaptations seem to constitute an alternative to the modern paradigm of the epic. However, in France they are often limited to simple rewriting and thus remain faithful to the idealized conception of the epic as a universal utterance (Jean-Claude Carrière). As far as the genres of fantasy and “space opera” are concerned, their narrative rewriting of “the myth of the death of epic” serves their own aim of self-legitimization; their specificity is therefore constructed in the very terms of modern literature that they re-appropriate and put into question
