Sigalas, Clément. "La guerre manquée : Représentations de la Seconde Guerre mondiale dans le roman français (1945-1960)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040204.
Full textThis thesis deals with the representations of the Second World War found in the French novels published between 1945 and 1960. It aims to shed light on a body of works that depict a “failed war”, unlike the epic vision which prevails in the post-war period. It analyses from an aesthetic, ethical and political perspective twenty novels or so which portray war as an unreal, elusive experience shared by French people.The first part of this work scrutinizes the way writers depict the failure of war. These novels portray the conflict as both spectral and brutal – seen from a distance, almost always mediated, concealed under the appearance of peace, yet unescapably destructive.These novels also throw light on the failure of community. A far cry from the seminal, unifying narrative of the epic, they start attacking the myth of France as unified in the war effort very soon after the end of the conflict.The second part of this thesis looks at the ways they construct the image of a torn or passive nation, as if they were France’s guilty conscience.This study will finally examine the way the novel “thinks”, how it was specifically used to convey a specific reflection on community. Against the discourses of literary Resistance, then Existentialism, it questioned the primacy of rational thinking in men; against the prominence of documents, it embraced fiction as a means to explore dark territories; against the calls for exemplariness, it constituted itself as an autonomous space to investigate the war, as well as to challenge the failures and shortcomings of the epic discourse
Roux, Baptiste. "Figures de l'Occupation dans les romans de Patrick Modiano." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA040052.
Full textIt seems that years of French occupation have had a great influence on Patrick Modiano's work - and being. Very few novels don't deal with this period, which is a cornerstone of the artist's writings. In order to make easier the understanding of the novelist's trauma, we propose a reflexion divided in three parts. First, we try to give a suggestive view of the work based upon World War II. Modiano mixes up reality and fantasy in a kind of vortex, which is the narrative translation of the author's discorded mind. This state of things finds its outcome in the original system of the stylistic devices used by Modiano. The question is studied in a second part of this work. The events don't always find their place in a logical way, so that the core of trauma is out of reach, covered by the layers of time. In fact, the narrator's strategy seems to be focused on a single spot, which is the hiding of tremor behind the shelter of forgery. At last, we try to show how the memory of French occupation plays an important part in the building of the author's personality. It seems obvious that the protagonists of Modiano's first books are essentially the specter of human beings. The disintegration of the soul is the best way to survive in the corrupted and ruthless world of occupation, and above all, the consequence of the loss of the father
Gritli, Dhia. "L'affaire homme. La deuxième guerre mondiale dans l'oeuvre de Romain Gary." Thesis, Paris 3, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA030178.
Full textWorld War II plays a crucial role in Romain Gary’s work. Pervasive throughout his writings, it represents, for the characters, a defining moment which shapes their vision of the world. Gary places it within historical continuum as he aims to describe, floating between fiction and reality, the pre-war period as well as the following decades. In fact, the world-wide conflict haunts the memory of the survivors, both military and civilian, influencing, for some of them, the nature of their commitments in the future. Within a wide and diverse range of characters, the resistants constitute a human community in which brotherhood, born out of the struggle for a shared ideal, creates a bond that resists the passing of time and even death. There are other categories present, such as the collaborators, the Germans, the Jews, or women. For all these characters, World War II is a significant paradigm that helps them understand the world. Gary’s description follows the characters in their way towards commitment and action. These are personal journeys – including his own – described without the manichean prism or political bias, but rather with humour and even irony. The commitment of the Garian hero is an undying defence of humanism

Full textFollowing in the footsteps of late-19th-century “actress novels”, a number of French and American novelists prolonged the literary fortunes of the actress-protagonist in the years immediately following the Second World War, in the broader context of a century heavily influenced by the rise of the cinema and, more largely, of popular culture. This dissertation analyzes how literature perceives and recounts these changes through the character of the actress, be she fictional or based on a real-life person. Actress novels of the second half of the 20th century are characterized by their predominantly homogenous narrative aims and borrow from other genres, such as the artist novel and the fairytale. The semiology of the main character is marked by a profession that confuses her identity between her own ego, her characters and her persona, and by the importance placed on her body that bears the hyperbolic markers of gender and beauty. Novelistic actresses illustrate male domination and few of them are capable of autonomous action, of becoming independent “actors” of their own destinies. Novelistic writing thereby causes a “disfiguration” of the very figure that exposes the degradation behind the splendid images, or exacerbates those images in order to transform the marvel into a monster. The goal of these texts is also intermedial: the novel is intended to be compared to cinema, which recently supplanted it in its status of popular tale, by imitating its techniques but also by recounting its modes of reception through a sometimes-iconoclastic lens. This leads to a reflection on literature and on culture via the figure of the actress, an artist without her own work, sometimes a clone of the author in a game between referentiality and fiction
Niogret, Philippe. "Débats idéologiques et esthétique romanesque en France pendant l'entre-deux guerres (1919-1939) dans les périodiques L'Art Libre, Europe, et Vendredi." Paris 4, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA040132.
Full textThis thesis explores the evolution of ideas and morals in France during the period between the First and Second World Wars (1919-1939) and their influence on the evolution of the novel, through analysis of three periodicals : L'Art Libre, Europe, and Vendredi. The following themes are addressed: the war and its consequences; the anxiety of the post-war generation and the attraction of the East; the evolution of morals and relations between men and women; the Catholic revival; the social and political involvement of writers. These changes are reflected in the novels of this period and they brought about a crisis concerning the novel because of the unanticipated departure from its traditionnal model, that model no longer being appropriate to the instability of the period. One distinguishes two trends among novelists of this period faced to this dilemma : one is to adapt the novel to its era, the other to envision a novel detached from its time in order to attain the essence of the human condition
Rossignol-Raynal, Éva. "Une réactualisation des figures mythiques de l'aller-retour chez Alfred Döblin, Jorge Semprun et Vercors : l'expérience de l'aller-retour dans six œuvres européennes marquées par la Seconde Guerre mondiale : "Voyage et destin" et "Hamlet ou la longue nuit prend fin" (Alfred Döblin), "L'Écriture ou la vie" et "Le Grand voyage" (Jorge Semprún), "Les Armes de la nuit" et "La Puissance du jour" (Vercors)." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019AIXM0360.
Full textGerman doctor of Jewish origin Alfred Döblin, young Spanish resistance fighter and communist Jorge Semprún, and writer-publisher Vercors (Jean Bruller) did not know each other and have nothing in common. However, all three went through the Second World war, through exile, clandestinity, or the concentration camp experience. Each contributed to the fight against Nazism but also paid the price. Among these three men, only Döblin was already a confirmed writer. However, they all produced works from 1945 onwards that were marked, if not deeply influenced, by these events. Thus, historical events present to us an exile, a deportee, and a spokesman for ghosts. Following these experiences, the stories studied here, although diverse in their conception, scenario, narrative, and style, are nevertheless marked by the same trauma of displacement, both in their journey and in their attempt to return. How could the outward journey be transcribed? Is there a possibility of returning to the life they once knew? Traditional values, identity quest, ontological questioning, subversion of discourse and myths: these are the paths explored in these texts, which are disturbingly topical
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 textThe first section of this master’s thesis presents a short original novel entitled Les méandres des ramilles. This novel deals with life opportunities and the choices that individuals decide to make. It also develops the theme of love and illustrates the consequences that World War II had on the Canadian population at the time. The second section is a reflection on the impact of the use of internal focalization in historical novels, more precisely on the concepts of historical objectivity and subjectivity, interiority of the character and restriction of field.

Full textThe movement in favor of the rebirth of Occitan, begun in the nineteenth century with the creation of the Félibrige (1854) by Frédéric Mistral—recognized world-wide and recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907—continued into the twentieth century. However, after Mistral’s death in 1914, defenders of Occitan language and literature, smothered by the centralizing power of the French Third Republic, struggled to be heard. There was a split into two branches: Mistralists and a “occitan” movement. However, in the 1930’s, both groups tried to work together, notably with Nouveau Languedoc, a group of younger individuals based in Montpellier. The Second World War confirmed the divisions among defenders of Occitan. Divided by linguistic questions, notably that of orthography, the movement was, in 1942, further divided by political positions. Whereas in 1940, almost all authors writing in Occitan supported or corroborated the politics of Vichy, in 1942, there was a sense of disillusion in the Occitan-language region; certain individuals did not hesitate to distance themselves from the government. Observing the paralysis of the rebirth movement, a team formed out of the Société d’Études Occitanes—Ismaël Girard, Camille Soula, René Nelli, Max Rouquette, Charles Camproux, et. alii—founded the Institut d’Études Occitanes after Liberation.Periodicals published during this period seem to be the preferred means to support the diffusion of Occitan. Generally printed in small format, thus reducing the need for paper and ink restricted by censors, journals in Occitan adopted no particular editorial line. Some were more literary; others preferred to publish articles on contemporary history and politics, while some provided readers with information relating current events to Occitan culture. These texts—literary, political, historic, and cultural—allow us to understand the organization of the rebirth movement, intimately tied to the Occitan literary world. This link between the worlds of politics and literature seems counter to the organization of the French-speaking world, in which the two fields are somewhat independent. This thesis seeks to show how the Second World War, a national and international event, influenced writing in a regional language, Occitan. Analyses show the principal themes that appear in literary works: political discourse, evocations of horror, the topic of religion, intergenerational engagement, and, at the end, tales of victory
