Sargsyan, Gayané. "Le Balzac des "études philosophiques" : étude comparée au miroir des cultures russe, arménienne et française." Montpellier 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007MON30065.
Full textThe present work is composed of 4 chapters. The first chapter presents the history of the publication of Philosophical Studies (Etudes Philosophiques) in France, in Russia and in Armenia from 1830 to our days. We are trying to explain why in Russia and in Armenia these works are less published. The second chapter concerns the problem of the translation. We found important to speak about the difficulties of the translation of the titles, of the tenses, of the expressions used by Balzac, which are the most of time neglected in translations. In the third chapter we represent the reception of the works of Balzac, especially of Philosophical Studies (Etudes Philosophiques) in the three above mentioned countries. The last chapter is devoted to the psychoanalytical study of Philosophical Studies (Etudes Philosophiques). It is not a secret that Balzac was an unloved child: this fact gave us the idea to read his works from the point of view of psychoanalysis

Full textWriter, journalist and political thinker : those three activities are closely linked in Balzac’s life between 1830 and 1848. His work and his life show an author led by politics, in a unitary way that includes social, religious and economical questions. In a time of post-revolutionary discord, Balzac, beside his contemporaries, tries to avert the bursting and to rebuild a lasting order by rethinking politics, which means not only the power – its forms, means and stakes – but also the society where politics exercise. During the July Monarchy, Balzac plays a major role in the city, as an actor and as a critical witness of his time; he was in shift, or even in dissidence with regard to the dominant way of thinking. His texts and commitments express the affirmation and paradoxes of the public space during the July Monarchy. As a man and a writer of discomfort, Balzac writes both about and against his century. His refusal to accept the restraints of a party or to rally men and ideas of his century brings him to try a synthesis from the various trends of thinking, the present ones as the past ones. In this way, he proposes a system that defies classifications and maintains the opposites in a permanent tension. The balzacian vision of politics asks questions about politics but do not impose any answer. It suspends certitudes and keeps its actuality

Full textOne obvious characteristic of the “Études philosophiques” is measurelessness or extendibility of writing. In each sentence, every part of syntactic rhythm is sometimes regular or mystical (the "spiritual numbers»: 2, 6, 4 and 7), sometimes free (5, 6, 8…). Above all, Balzac takes pains to highlight a regular rhythm by such stylistic elements as chiasmus, insertions, epithets, similes and symmetry. This also applies to the narrative which is often superfluous, repetitive and overcharged. This piece of writing is paradoxical in that the extravagant style juxtaposes an economical one. This presents a contrast which is in fact the expression of a dualist and creative view, being that the author sees sensitive reality only in terms of positive and negative poles

Full text“The work of Balzac is written painting": the Goncourt’s comment has been our leading thread through the work of Balzac. It is the real transposal of art that is achieved when the novelist describes portraits, landscapes, and homes. Our study consists in demonstrating how the writer takes the place of the painter: "literature used the same process as does the painter" writes Balzac. The intensity, giving to the descriptions by the evocation of colors, light, materials is very similar to the pictorial technique. In the first part of our essay we study how the "fraternity of arts" has developed in the beginning of the nineteenth century when "the arts tend compensate one for the other" according to Baudelaire. In the second part we study the painters that Balzac mentioned in his work. Finally it seemed interesting to examine the aesthetics of Balzac how does his writing evoqued pictures?

Hakata, Kaoru. "La rumeur dans l'oeuvre de Balzac." Paris 7, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA070009.
Full textBecause they echo public opinion, rumours play an essential part in the novels of Honoré de Balzac. In order to describe its functioning, the novelist has set out to analyse the different aspects of this vast "collective conversation" : how can we account for the facts that rumours seem to come into existence and to propagate almost spontaneously? How does a rumour started by a single individual end up being believed and repeated by a large group of persons? He has also looked into its social function : by sharing impressions and hypotheses, by debating between themselves, gossipmongers reinforce their bonds. In certain cases, they set themselves up as inquisitors, going after alleged criminals and impostors. Finally, by studying the psychological dimension of gossiping, Balzac has shown that rumours do not only serve the interests of political parties or underline social issues : they express deep-rooted anxieties. By deciphering the myths on which rumours are founded, he brings back to the surface a string of repressed collective memories. Rather than "observing" their contemporaries, gossipmongers project fantasies on them. Balzac integrates erroneous suppositions into his novels and shows how accounts of a same event can vary according to the storyteller's standpoint ; as an historian, he tries to correct wrong anecdotes. On orchestrating the words of innumerable characters, Balzac builds a work that we can compare with a great opera, in which the gossipmongers sing the revealing themes. Readers must pay heed to them to be able to participate more efficiently in the game of interpretation that the works of Balzac propose them

Full text"Balzac and architecture": on purpose, this title wasn't precise. The corpus includes la Comedie humaine, the works of the young novelist, texts published in news-papers, theater and letters. Architecture has been studied in relation with archeology, urbanism garden art, art history and engineering. We tackled biography, sociology, history (Balzac thought that architecture is a means to understand society); we also studied the narrative values of architectural descriptions. We had then to try to understand how works the metaphor, when it is used to qualify the work thought as a "monument": we had aesthetics in view. Our study tries to consider how architecture is transposed in literature: what is chosen by the novelist? On what purpose and last but not the least how does he proceed?

Esta tese analisa o universo do “dandismo” em La Comédie humaine de Honoré de Balzac, tendo como instrumental teórico a noção de “cuidado de si” segundo Michel Foucault. O trabalho se inscreve no debate sobre os processos de subjetivação por meio de estudos literários privilegiando o ponto de vista da leitura sociocrítica. Partimos do pressuposto de que nossa subjetividade é criada pelo texto literário e, essencialmente, pelo ato da leitura. Em Balzac, tanto identificamos os indícios de “ensaios de subjetivação”, assim como, a partir de uma abordagem foucaultiana, ensaiamos na obra balzaquiana uma leitura enviesada que suscita a noção de subjetivação. O procedimento envolve a análise das cenas dos dândis balzaquianos que, por sua vez, são plenas de dramatização do cuidado que o sujeito exerce de si sobre si e de suas reflexões sobre suas significações políticas e psicológicas. Estudando o dandismo como um processo dinâmico de construção do sujeito em sociedade, sustentamos a tese de que o dandismo balzaquiano é uma representação romanesca de um dos momentos do “cuidado de si” na história da cultura ocidental. O dandismo balzaquiano é uma forma de vida que se constitui no universo de La Comédie humaine e que assinala o processo de transformação da sociedade e dos indivíduos. Ao final deste trabalho, reconhecemos o dândi como uma dramatização de um herói moderno movido pela ilusão de que é possível construir para si-mesmo uma forma desejada de vida. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
This thesis analyses the universe of dandyism in La Comédie humaine, by Honoré de Balzac, with the instrumental theoretical notion of “the care of the self” according to Michel Foucault. This work is part of the debate on the subjective processes in the literary studies and it emphasizes the point of view of social-critical reading. The starting point of our thought is that our subjectivity is created by the literary text and, essentially, by the act of reading. In Balzac we either identify the evidences of “subjectivation essays” or, based on a Foucauldian approach, we try to perform a reading of Balzac’s work that creates the notion of subjectivation. This procedure involves the analysis of scenes from the dandies, which ones dramatize the subject self-care and his reflections on his political and psychological meanings. We assume that the dandyism in Balzac’s work is a romantic representation of “the care of the self” moment, in the history of Western culture, by the study of dandyism as a dynamic process of constructing the subject in society. Dandyism is a way of life that constitutes the universe of La Comédie humaine and it shows the change process of individuals and of the society. At the end of this study, we recognize the dandy as a dramatization of a modern hero who lives thinking that is possible to make for himself a desired form of life.
Murata, Kyoko. "Les métamorphoses du pacte diabolique dans l'oeuvre de Balzac." Paris 7, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA070069.
Full textI treat in this study the theme of "diabolic pact" in the works of Balzac, and analyse various metmorphoses of tne notion of pact in the development of "La comédie humaine". It is in "Le centenaire" that this themes appears for the first time. Though young Balzac imitates Maturin's "Melmoth", he differs from Maturin in associating poetic creation with a diabolic pact. "La peau de chagrin" which reflects the malady of the Century, is a novel marked by the most profound pessimism. The demoniac figure takes there the form of "Peau", that incarnates the inner Other and human time. Balzac projects on his hero the anguish and sufferings of intellectuals in his times. In "Melmoth réconcilié", a rewrite of Maturin's novel, Balzac reconstructs the original by investing it with his fundamental reflections of "La Comédie humaine". At the same time, he invents "le fantastique social". From this time on, he does not have to introduce the supernatural into his works ; the diabolic pact is decisively transferred to realistic space. .

Full textÀ la lumière de l’anthropologie historique de Marcel Gauchet, nous examinons dans ce mémoire le rapport de Balzac à la religion à partir de ses trois romans les plus religieux : Le médecin de campagne (1833), Le curé de village (1841) et L’envers de l’histoire contemporaine (1848). Publiés à des moments différents de la carrière de Balzac, ces romans ont en commun d’illustrer l’autonomisation de la sphère humaine vis-à-vis de celle de Dieu en rendant la religion tributaire de la volonté humaine. Coupant court à tout providentialisme, réinterprétant le dogme du péché originel lorsqu’ils ne l’omettent pas tout simplement, ces romans à thèse présentent un monde plus désenchanté qu’il n’y parait de prime abord. Désormais le mal s’explique par une « pathologie » et la vie bonne consiste à panser activement les plaies du monde social. Investissant radicalement l’ici-bas humain, les bienfaiteurs balzaciens, qui ont tout de saints laïcs, semblent s’émanciper de toute métaphysique contraignante. Dans cette comédie du monde qui n’a plus rien de divin, la religion s’impose comme moyen, jamais comme fin.
In light of Marcel Gauchet’s works on disenchantment, we intent in this dissertation to analyze Honoré de Balzac’s views about religion and Christianity, especially in three of his most apologetics novels: Le Médecin de Campagne (The Country Doctor, 1833), Le Curé de Village (The Village Priest, 1841) et L’Envers de l’Histoire Contemporaine (The Seamy Side of History, 1848). Published at different points of Balzac’s career, those novels have in common to illustrate the move toward autonomy of human condition by making religion dependent on human will. Withdrawing Providence, reinterpreting original sin dogma, those thesis novels depict a disenchanted world. From now on, evil can be explained by pathology and religion can be reduced to the treatment of social wounds. Investing all their energy in life here below, Balzac’s characters appear to be freed from any metaphysical ties. In this human comedy that is no longer divine, religion is a mean, never an end.

Full textDependant on time and space, the specific development of passion in the provinces encourages a special type of tragic with particules means of expression. The serialized publication of "scenes de la vie de province" has influenced the structure of tragic, but not its writing, based both on grotesque and ellipsis. Some provincials seem more than others doomed to experience with tragic, either because passion pushed them into making a mistake toward their social and family surroundings, or because they offended god. Only "pure souls" who sacrifice their happiness to play a part in the salvation of the world seem to find some meaning to the experience of tragic

Resumo: Proponho, neste estudo, analisar algumas das notas de rodapé de Paulo Rónai na tradução para a língua portuguesa da obra A Comédia Humana de Honoré de Balzac, com o intuito de discutir que Rónai, na tentativa de traduzir os trocadilhos balzaquianos que chama de intraduzíveis, sofre o double bind, aquilo que sobra, que resta a ser traduzido. O problema do ¿intraduzível¿, declarado nas notas de tradução de Rónai, mostra sua irredutibilidade perante o idiomático da língua em sua atividade tradutória. O intraduzível para Rónai configura-se no momento mais complicado de sua argumentação teórico-prática, é aquilo que o perturba no processo tradutório. Nesse sentido, a partir das questões abordadas por Jacques Derrida, reflito sobre a questão dos limites entre texto e texto traduzido. Trata-se de tentar construir uma ponte entre a questão das notas de tradução de Rónai e a desconstrução, uma vez que Derrida expõe que é na nota que o intraduzível se multiplica, promovendo a disseminação de uma língua em outra língua. O tradutor Rónai, por assim dizer, é levado a participar do jogo do intraduzível, do double bind, sofrendo os limites das línguas
Abstract: The main purpose of this work is to analyze Paulo Rónai¿s footnotes in the translation to Portuguese language of the work of Honoré de Balzac, La Comédie Humaine, aiming to discuss that Rónai, trying to translate balzaquian¿s puns which he calls untranslatable, suffers the double bind, the remainder to be translated. The problem of the ¿untranslatable¿ declared in Rónai¿s translation footnotes shows his irreducibility before the idiomatic of the language in his translating activity. The untranslatable in Rónai¿s point of view figures out in the most complicated moment of his theoretical-practical activity, it is what bothers him in the translating process. Therefore, based on Jacques Derrida¿s approach, I discuss the limits between text and translated text. I aim to build a bridge between the discussion concerning translation footnotes and deconstruction, once Derrida argues that it is in the translation footnote process that the untranslatable expands, promoting the dissemination from one language to another. The translator Paulo Rónai participates in the untranslatable play, in the double bind play, suffering the limits of the languages

El título de esta memoria es "El Derecho y la Abogacía en la Literatura de Honoré de Balzac". Es una memoria dedicada netamente a la interpretación literaria y a el análisis del derecho en la literatura. La elección de Balzac fue acertada, porque el año pasado se celebraron en todo el mundo, especialmente en Francia, los doscientos años de su nacimiento, y sobre todo porque es un autor muy importante en la literatura universal. Al leer las cinco obras escogidas logré apreciar y admirar su estilo, particularmente aquel que está relacionado con mi profesión, aquellas historias de contenido jurídico, donde encontramos una demanda de interdicción, un juez probo, policías corruptos, el falso secuestro de un senador impulsado por el ánimo de inculpar a cinco inocentes, los delitos de falsificación y estafas, asesinatos, robos, etc. Todo esto acompañado por un cúmulo de valores morales y religiosos que Balzac acostumbra dar a sus obras. Hay que destacar que muchas veces sus criminales no tienen un castigo humano, pero la vida se encarga de hacer justicia.

Full textThe universe of the Human Comedy offers to see quantity of subjects whose essential concern is reduced with the aim of succeed. As well as a group, family, only. The human adventure of the Balzac characters is thus that of a course, of a powerful desire social rise. If the new socio-economic conditions brought by the French Revolution are favourable with such behaviour, we should add that that could not be enough to explain it. Because the Balzac characters move in a microcosm, and that the acts posed by the ones are observed and imitated by the others, and vice versa, one finds itself in a universe where the place of the imitation is large. Also, it is with the ell of the theory of the mimetic desire of Rene Girard, that we think of better seizing what justifies and pushes with the action the subjects of the Human Comedy. The analytical theory of Rene Girard according to which our desires are born with the sight of those of others, and not of ourselves, us indeed allows to understand and explain the sociological and psychological mechanism with the facts in the submitted reports of imitation conscious or unconscious of the characters of Balzac. The desire to arrive, shine in company to acquire glory, remain the common batch of a number of subjects of the Human comedy, so that , by a subtle play of influence, the wishes of the ones find being also those of the others

Full textIn this thesis, rene alexandre courteix argues that the french revolution has a central role in balzac's writings, even though the author of the human comedy actually chose to describe and explain society as it was in his day. He explains the inevitability of the meeting between a writer of genius, born in 1799, wishing to give a full acc0unt of man and society in the first half of the 19th century, and one of the highlights of the history of mankind, occurring at the end of the 18th century and bearing withing it a new conception of man and a new philosophical and political definition of society. He shows that the french revolution its causes, several of its main manifestations, and its consequences - is present throughout the whole of balzac's wrigings. Finally he considers the ideological meaning of the testimony offered by balzac alongside that of some of his grat contemporaries and the way this is closely bound to the writer's underlying philosophy of man and society

Full text"Gobseck" is the Balzac's novel for a thesis; Gobseck is the usurer of the "Comédie humaine" to be studied thoroughly. The purpose of the first chapter of our thesis is to demonstrate not only how the author produced, for the first time in 1830, this central personage and this small masterpiece which influenced the other works, but also how he developed them to reach the perfection of their last state in 1842. The second chapter is designed for the intensive study of the natural shape of the avaricious hero: Gobseck is "l'or personnifié" as well as "l'insatiable boa". Then, we passed to the third chapter to report on our analysis of each colleague of Gobseck. The result of this study is that all of the usurers of the "Comédie humaine" take after, more or less, Gobseck. We discovered that Balzac decomposed the image of Gobseck, after the description of his death, and used the fragments for the construction of the others usurers. The supplementary chapter is reserved for the research of the sources of two fireplaces described in the novel

Full textBakhtin underlined the novel's capacity for invention and creation, showing the novel as a polyphonic text which is not reductible to the enunciation of a single sensory subject. To this extent, the distinction proposed by ducrot locution enunciation, dividing utterances no longer according to their producers but in terms of acts of production, makes possible a stylistics of novelistic enunciation which would study the modes of enunciation specific to the textural discourse without being limited to the devices used by the author. Such a procedure stems from stylistics as redefined by the ideas of l. Jenny. The stylistic quality of a text is perceptible as a figural event. Style is a formal upheaval, the emergence not of an expression or an expresivity, but a meaning which becomes an event. The most remarkable figural event of the balzacian texte seems to be its enunciative ambiguity. As a polyphonic text, a text permeated by voices which produce individual enunciations or a formative narrative locution, balzacian narrative can only presents interferences that go as far as contradiction, out of all which emerges an essential ambiguity that renders inevitable this event-like quality : the figural nature of novelistic representation
Lyon-Caen, Boris. "L'être et le sens : une poétique du signe dans la Comédie humaine d'Honoré de Balzac." Paris 3, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA030087.
Full textThe topic of this thesis is Balzac's use of the " sign " and of hermeneutical reason. From 1829 to 1848, La Comédie humaine in its entirety centers around this régime of knowledge which makes the represented materials incarnate meaning, provide knowledge, and generally signify. With a view to analyzing the bases and consequences of the " evidential paradigm " (C. Ginzburg), I have thus sought to focus on the imaginary scenarios and textual strategies through which the relations between being and meaning are modeled, modulated and altered, formed and transformed. As a work of representation and of knowledge, the novel as Balzac produces it aims at revealing the intelligible at the heart of the sensible, by means of a disposition and an interpretation of signs. At the same time, a study of the grammar of immersion shows that La Comédie humaine elaborates a strongly Spinozist ontology in which being and meaning are immanent and render each other indistinguishable. Further, the writer as photographer ensures the advent of pure appearances, of superficiality, and stamps the horizontality of the Balzacian world (especially that of the 1840s) with a mark of disembodiment, levelling and foolishness. Freed from all transcendence and depth, the fictional bodies ultimately appear to be open only to becoming itself. The delineation of " planes of immanence " (G. Deleuze) and the logic of the gap constitute an aesthetics of distantiation, thereby injecting a new dynamic which reenchants the matter of the novel

Full text"What is the talent of the 'Conteur', if not that of all talents combined ?" writes Philarète Chasles in his forward to Romans et contes philosophiques published in 1831. Although Balzac is best known as a novelist, he himself greatly admired the genre known as the "conte". Balzac traced a great deal of his own literary identity to the "grands conteurs" he considered his patrons such as Boccaccio, Rabelais, La Fontaine, Sterne and "the anonymous authors of The Arabian Nights". If in La DerniŠre Fee and Contes drolatiques Balzac confronts the traditions of this genre, his Romans et contes philosphiques, Contes bruns and Nouveux Contes philosohpiques represent instead an attempt to reform the "conte" in his own style. This thesis re-examines the "conte" as it was written in the first decades of the 19th century and traces the course of Balzac's literary development vis a vis this genre from his "youthful period" until the first years of the 1830s. Through a survey of books and literary magazines, I give a bibliographic survey of various "contes" published during this time. I also examine the daily work and life of Balzac during these years : a time not only of immense popularity for the "conte" within literary circles, but also one of changing socio-economic conditions for writers in general. Balzac envisaged the "conte" not as fixed genre, but as one of great flexibility and iridescence capable of accommodating a variety of styles, tones, and themes. Through his close identification with this genre, Balzac styled himself above all as a "conteur", an identity which this thesis traces from its earliest formulations until its precocious dissolution near the end of 1832

Full textAfter defining the notion of type, it's possible to describe the balzacian physician: his background, always middle class, his studies, his beginnings in life, his daily difficult practice. In society, the physician proves to be a dominating character, but in private he's far less pleasant, he's fond of money, often married by convenience, with little culture and beliefs. His figure and his physical appearance draw a not much attractive character. Behind this typical description, it's possible to see Balzac at work: his setting of the character in the text reveals the balzacian concept of the physician which is a romantic utility. When replaced in the cultural speech of that time, the balzacian physician represents a living type concerned about his own image in literature. The author receives the influence of the surrounding physiological speech and becomes a physician author in his writing and his way of thinking, giving a predominant place to the physician for the whole literary posterity. La Comédie humaine, as a whole, can be read as a poetic physiology of the physician author

Full textThis thesis attempts to explain the process of literary translation in the light of the theory of meaning. The intoduction briefly reviews the essential role of literary translation. . . Enabling us to understand people who live in different cultural and natural environments, and who experience things differently. We have defined the ideas conceyed by literary texts as the objet of the act of translation (chapter one). In the mind of the translator, or of any reader, these ideas can be seen as a cognitive process which consists of interpreting the reality which is represented in the text. The words themselves merely point to this reality (the textual world). The aim of the translator's work is to recreate the reality which is conveyed in the target language. Thus designation, an essential function of language in use, always ties in with a set of references which have been built up through experience. Because the literary text is aimed at another kind of reader, the translator must "understand" according to the reference system of the sourcve language and culture, but he must "reexpress" according to the reference system of the target language and culture (chapters 2 and 3). The form of expression is revelant to the theory of translation only insofar as it has to do with function. The reality which is conveyed hould be reexpressed in ways which are natural to the target language (chapters 4 and 5). This linguistic redefinition relies on the "image" called up by the original text. Through his own text, the translator endeavours to elicit the same meaningful image in his reader's mind (chapters 6 and 7)

Full textThe three figures of creative genius, passionate lunatic and sacrificial mystic are depicted in the Balzac novel type of researcher of the Absolute, who proves a central element of Balzac's world and philosophy of the grea author, ail radiating European Romanticism. The Absolute appears as the problematic vanishing point of a thought in search of the ultimate truth of the human in its mission to overcome his condition, to transcend by the power of mind the limits of his existence and reveal that of higher world of infinite for which he yearns. Balzac offers a romantic experience of an absolute, preparing implicitly but powerfully the philosophical fortune of this concept, where lies the secret to a sublime energy that illustrate the nature of a new ontological relations between man and world, through legendary models and psychological studies that only deepen the mystery

Full textA better grasp of the plot's central role leads the reader to discover legal criminality, since the narrative structure restores order between fable (intricacy of the crime story) and discourse (invention of crime as an enigma). To relate circumstances leading to the solution of wealth enigmas, Balzac exploits enigma games as an essence of orality, thus giving his fiction the style of a conversational game. Furthermore, he uses a diversity of characters and narrative processes to create uncertainties, suggest clues, denounce inconsistencies.
The balzacian literary universe exploits the classical poetics of enigma, developing the enigma from a well-known fact: enrichment by criminal means is an open secret. The point of distinction between Balzac's enigmas and other novels is that they do not really aim at elucidating a mystifying crime, such as in Edgar Allan Poe's novels, but rather at revealing the subtle art of deception. Balzacian "intellectuals", criminals of a new kind, know how to evade the law and take advantage of its loopholes. The narrators, wishing to satisfy the readers' wish to know "the chemical process for oil burning in Aladdin's lamp", must not only specialize their narrative structure to achieve this goal, but also trick the readers into keeping interested in stories which must seem ever more captivating as they become more meaningless.
Set between Vidocq's loitering and Dupin's readings, between a spy's memory tracking and a detective's syllogistic intelligence, the dramaturgy of "Faits divers", in the world of Balzac, does not condone nor condemn any of these manifestations of enigma, as it is first and foremost a narrative adventure.

Full textWithout challenging the principles of concision and concentration, accepted since the XIXth century in regard to the short narrative, this dissertation focuses on strategies pertaining to narration, description and dialogue, which embrace these principles, and which enable the short narrative to distinguish itself from the novel. Within our study of internal components, we analyze how texts are grouped together into a collection. This is one aspect which is an integral part of any study of the short story.
Everything indicates that the short narrative favours concentration, while the novel tends to digress. We will establish the truth of this assertion by studying the proliferation of this narrative and narrative strategies, by examining the functions of description and the components of the portrait, and by analyzing discursive transgressions and the functions of dialogue. What follows will be a study of the composition which will begin by focusing on the "Catalogue des oeuvres de 1845", representing a state of intermediate assembling. What concerns us here is the structure of the collection in The Comedie humaine and of the various ways Balzac explored grouping his works together.
In Balzac's work, the structural differences which exist between the short story and the novel contribute to the actual development of the short narrative's poetics. This dissertation therefore forms an invaluable part of Balzacian criticism and certainly finds a place for itself in genre theory.

Full textThe classic example of the balzacian aristocratic woman is characterized by the double law of opposites and similarities. Her body expresses the tension between nature and culture. The fashionable woman, always acting, symbolizing a precise caste and time, counterpoises the natural woman who partakes of the essential elements: water, earth and fire. So, the angelic and beastly metaphors which characterize her convey this obsession of the "double sided woman" and abolish the differences between a great lady and a prostitute. The presence of the aristocratic woman's body, a paragon of beauty for the other women in la comédie humaine, is asserting itself in the portrait, no longer considered as an autonomous element but open onto the whole fiction. This calling into question of the synchrony of the portrait implies that the language of the body and the functions which structure it should be taken into account. As that classic example is building up, the longing for the sublime and the ironic distanciation are taking shape. The sublime of the sin and the face stresses the genesis of the aristocratic woman who undergoes a series of degradations before vanishing, leaving it to other exceptional characters to embody the last image of the balzacian sublime

Full textThere are several types of parisian burgesses in the Comedie Humaine following the sphere in where these women are living (trade-management. . . ). Balzac is laughing of lower burgess because he thinks that she is full of mediocrity and meanness resembling to vulgarity. The lower middle-class presents also the particularity of using a popular vocabulary. Common relations seem to prevail in the parisian burgesses: sincere motherly sentiment, searching of a conjugal happiness having as base love and material comfort. These heroes announce the contemporary middle-class: sphere of speculation, prelude to feminine imperialism. In this study tragical and comic are married drawing us in a round which composes all life full of courage

Full textThe starting point of this study is the sense produced by two works relevant to different aesthetics: Balzac’s and Woolf’s. We tried first to envisage how far we could extend the muthos notion of Aristotle’s poetics. Specifically, we examined the relationship between character (in both meanings of personality and personage) and dramatic action, and identified the essential conditions of poetry, the very ground of its intelligibility. We emphasized the fact that, from the character's point of view, dramatic action is a matter of passion: action should not be meant as a character's display, but as a universal, the only way to understand the individual. Here, the important question of time is twofold: we insisted on the time required by poetic activity, and viewed reading as the work's second creation. On the other hand, the work's timelessness conceptualized by Aristotle’s poetics as a simultaneous vision resides in that the analytic reading of the work is converted into a synthetic understanding: the latter is independent of the eye's movement; in the same way Aristotle says the perception of dramatic action is independent of its theatre performance

Full textHow a writer does transform the question of the family as matter of writing on the eve of the birth of the modem social sciences? Our thesis consist in to propose a new method to reply to this question, all while taking a special case, French writer Honored de Balzac (1799-1850) and a moment of his literary production (1829-1833), period that corresponds at first literary career of writer and that inaugurates his monument : La Comédie humaine. The family is before all a social fact that contains various aspects. It is necessary then to recognize the tension between the literary aspect peculiar to thé writing novel and the social aspect of the subject. Our approach at once more biographical, more historie and more political aims the make obvious the tension of this question intersection, and our analysis of the withheld corpus allows seizing globally the manner of which the writer rule this tension

Full textThe thesis approaches a subject that puts in report two literary fields of two spheres of different civilizations. It has consisted in explain the existence of balzacienne inspiration in the work of n. Mahfouz. We have undertaken an analysis of the realistic handwriting in texts of the egyptian novelist; from characteristics of the handwriting of balzac ; knowing that few constant studies have been realized to this literary influence. The first shutter of the research has been devoted to the study of the milk relevant: a - the relationship between two cumtures. B - the influence of the french novel on mahfouziens texts. The second parts centers on the processing of categories of the realistic representation (celebrate and their perceptions of the space and the time), then modes of the space without forgetting the vision of the word. The books which are analysis are constituted next text: - father goriot, eugenie grandet et ferragus de balzac. - impasse of the two palace, sons of the medina and impasse of the mortar writhed by mahfouz. This study has necessitated the utilization of inspired methodological tools of sociocritic, we have tempted to notice all elements explaining this inspiration while analyzing romantic fields. Balzac insists a lot on the precise and rich description, in revenge at mahfouz, the preferences goes to the description of celebrity characters. In texts of the two novelists, a common interest is granted to celebrities, to their psychological dimension and their relation ships with the space. The last shutter of our research has been devoted the axis- spatio-temporel (the relationship of the real space and the fictions romantic space), then to the perception of the time at the main celebrities. The relationship between the two culture is not arbitrary, the balzacienne inspiration exists beautiful and well in the mahfouzienne handwriting. Trades and cultural transfers are numerous between the two texts through the history

Full textQuestioning the representation methods of the parental figure and their stakes in the Balzacian universe. This doctoral thesis shows that Balzac's figures of paternity echo the judicial changes in the status of the father instituted by the Civil code, To paint the relationship between father and child Balzac relies upon and transforms the cultural heritage of the second enlightenment which invented the figure of the father presiding over the code, He also drew upon several series of contemporary lithographs which were well known by the public, Referring to this essentially visual culture, the novel creates specific spaces of configuration, elaborating hypotheses about transformations of both imaginaries and practices of paternity, By working with topical representations, the novel also produces epistemological reflections; it questions the way that the paternal image, traditionally a metaphor for power, functions, This thesis also re-explores the fantasmatic image of paternity, examining its connections with the figure of the writer

Full textThis work on "the feminine fashion in the studies of manners from Balzac" is situated in the very heart of the problematic relating to Balzac’s realism. The comparative study of the documents of this period, such as periodicals, painting of manners and texts from the Human Comedy, not only allows to extract the mechanisms of the genesis of Balzac’s famous descriptions but also enhances the selective character of his realism concerning feminine elegances. This study tries to find out the reasons of this realism in the writer's aesthetic a priori, in the specificity of his testimony as an historian, and above all in the preeminence of his schemas as a novelist. The second part of this work is essentially dedicated to a semiotic study of the fashion in the studies of manners. The romantic function of the cloth is emphasized but above all Balzac’s symbolism is developed there, in this special field. A sketch of the poetic inherent to the writer of the Human Comedy, concerning women, ends this research

Full textThe present study addresses the multifaceted relationships between Balzac and the French literary 17th century. It consists of three parts: first, an analysis of Balzac’s own memorial selection of 17th-century political and literary events, followed by a detailed exploration of the variety of modes of attendance, practices and functions assumed by the “Grand Siècle” in La Comédie humaine, and finally of an evaluation of the range and consequences of the development of moralist-type thinking within prose narrative fiction. First, this research work allows for a renewed questioning of some foundations of Balzacian poetics. Secondly, the different methods of reception of the 17th century in the novel cycle built by Balzac between 1829 and 1850 highlight new reading circulations of La Comédie humaine by means of specific network-type textual devices. And finally, this study shows the permanence of problems linked with the development of the genre of the novel from the 17th to the 19th century. Hence, it invites to a revision of some deep-rooted prejudice of literary history, as much about Balzac than against the “classical Grand Siècle”

Full textIn Balzac,'s La Comédie humaine, the narrative is subordinated to visual images: the image is a condensation of phantasms made of mnemonic traces, and narrative is the ‘secondary elaboration' of these primary data. The drive to see and to know are inherent to the image and the narrative, which tend towards the elucidation of the original object of phantasm. We have relied on psychoanalysis theory to disentangle the knots of desire and to follow the sinuous structure of the plot. But the narrative misses the object of the quest ; and anachronism proves to be the main characteristic of the image. We have then examined how the object survives in this image, though never submitting to representation. Nevertheless the balzacian representation is a dynamic process : it seeks and creates its vanishing object at each moment. The novel is built in this movement, as a vestige of the objet's passage

Full textThis work, as its title shows, explores the notion of time in "la comedie humaine", basing itself on precise references drawn from the whole text. After defining the double perspective according to which time is presented - implicated both in the narrative and in a conception of man and of the world - the introduction sets out the way in which the balzacian notion of time has gradually built up itself. The first part, devoted to the use of time in the narrative, analyses successively the problems linked to the organization of time in the writing : order, duration, density; then the rhythm in the narrative and, at last, the dramatic and stylistic effects generated by the expression of time. Clarity, demonstrative logic and expres- siveness, are at this level the essential demands of the author. The second part deals with the analysis of real-life time. Bal- zac's philosophical and historical conceptions strongly insert the human being into duration and evolution. But if time is a carrier wa- ve, it is also a factor of destruction: hence the basic myth of "la peau de chagrin" which underlines the antagonism between wearing out and vital duration. Then is studied the considerable weight of time in psychology as well as the free space it opens up to the mind. The ability to master or not time's effects determines, in a final analysis, a division of balzacian humanity into masters and victims of time. The conclusion reminds of the importance of time in most of the balzacian definitions, the part it plays as a tool for explanation, the conscious rearrangements to which it is subdued. It confirms the reality of time as a continuous flux, a living medium, but also as a hidden force, both a source of dynamism and tragic

Full textIn her thesis, the author suggests making a change of the point of view on the work of Balzac and discovering the new aspects which – up to here – are spent unnoticed. The methodical reading of authors, mentioned by Balzac in The Human Comedy and the reading of the works of period on the subjects noted in youth drafts, highlights only and obsessing interest : the actus, the will, what allows to identify the youth reading as draft of the Treaty of the Will. The will, the genius, the Absolute, such was the result of the superimposing of the youth reading of Balzac. In his researches on the will, Balzac goes in parallel with the German philosophers, in particular with Schopenhauer, who, as Balzac, was interested, for the same purpose, in the animal magnetism and in the mystic writers. These researches brought Balzac at the idea of comparing the bestiality and the humanity, what ended in the great project of The Human Comedy, which becomes the description of the humanity as an Hell, separated from the absolute knowledge and the research for way towards the Absolute
