Abstract:
Les personnages d'Ian McEwan sont influencés par le mythe. Les mythes du patriarcat, de la religion, de la sexualité avec ses tabous, du pouvoir illustré par l'état, la police et l'armée jouent un rôle important au sein de ses romans et nouvelles. Le couple idéal, la beauté idéale, la politesse, l'argent, la notoriété, le voyage, le passé avec ses lois ancestrales sont les normes mythiques à respecter. Dans cet univers, la maladie et la mort dérangent. La plupart des protagonistes sont des enfants ou des adolescents dont la liberté est contrecarrée par le soleil qui symbolise le père. Presque

Abstract:
This thesis traces the 'metaplot' of Ian McEwan's progress, through his professional writing. Completely unknown in 1971, his work has attracted increasing recognition, culminating in the Booker prize in 1998. Early in his career, he gained access to elements of his unconscious through free-association, active imagination, meditation and the use of recreational drugs. These elements, which surfaced gradually and piecemeal, include strong feelings associated with the Oedipus complex, difficulties with masculine self-identification, feelings of rejection, unresolved grief, wishes to regress to t

Par le choix de ses sujets, la fiction de ian mcewan constitue un piege pour l'interpretation. L'erreur serait de pretendre en circonscrire le scandale en l'abordant sous l'angle exclusif d'une thematique de la perversion qui manquerait la litterarite de l'oeuvre et sa force, qui provient de la tension entre maitrise de l'ecriture et immoralite ou chaos du contenu. L'analyse doit donc etre attentive aux rapports differentiels qui existent entre perversion et fiction afin de montrer comment elles se conjuguent et s'excluent tout a la fois, chacune eclairant l'autre.

Abstract:
The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to discuss, and attempt to confirm, that Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001) lacks closure. Since the novel has an unreliable narrator who offers her readers several credible endings to her narrative, and who also acts as the fictitious author of the story, unreliability and metafiction are claimed to be the main underlying causes of this deprivation of closure. The discussion in the first section of the analysis is based on the plot development depicted in Gustav Freytag’s Pyramid, and the second part is focused on Victoria Orlowski’s four metafictional characte

Abstract:
This essay revisits Ian McEwan’s extremely successful novel Saturday, and interrogates its exemplary assessment of the British cultural climate after 9/11. The particular focus is on McEwan’s extensive recourse to the writings of Matthew Arnold, whose melancholy outlook on culture and anarchy McEwan basically translates into the 21st century without much ideological fraction. This relapse into Victorian liberal humanism as consolation for a Western world besieged by the contingencies of terrorism is extremely problematic. Not only does it wilfully ignore the transcultural realities of modern B

This thesis aims to explore the changing imagination of post-war Europe in contemporary British literary works by Caryl Phillips, Ian McEwan and Kazuo Ishiguro. It suggests that these authors, rather than exploring Britain's relationship with Europe defensively, show British national identity to be deeply ingrained with a consciousness of Europe. Recognising the demand for new cognitive maps of Europe after the end of the Cold War, Phillips, McEwan and Ishiguro see that new modes and models of European identity are needed at a time when memories of the overlapping histories of racism, dehumani

Numerous studies have pointed to the historiographic and metafictional aspects of Ian McEwan’s and Graham Swift’s fiction, although few have examined the connections between McEwan and Swift. This study develops from that work by proposing that McEwan’s and Swift’s fictions explore similar themes, beyond those of just history and metafiction. By situating McEwan and Swift as postmodern writers who are strikingly intertextual, in the sense initially coined by Julia Kristeva, this study will show that both authors are deeply concerned with the violence of the twentieth and early twenty-first cen

Abstract:
Souvent conceptualisée comme l’envers ou l’opposé de la raison, la folie, presque toujours synonyme de débordement, semble vouée à outrepasser toute limite définitoire ou conceptuelle posée par la pensée rationnelle. Cette pulsion de délimitation ou de classification inhérente à la rationalité, trouve dans le genre l’une de ses expressions les plus représentatives. Partant du constat que la folie ne cesse de transgresser les frontières traditionnelles de genre, ce travail étudie les liens entre les représentations littéraires de la maladie mentale et les questions de genre sexué (« gender ») c

Abstract:
This doctoral dissertation aims to investigate two classes of phenomena creating failures of understanding in social interaction, which I will refer to as ‘paralysis’ and ‘invasion.’ Both paralysis and invasion should be understood as disrupted forms of intersubjectivity, the former being characterized by a lack/deficiency of ways of relating to others, and the latter by an unnecessary surplus. One of my leading hypotheses is that paralysis and invasion are complementary both theoretically and experientially: since paralysis refers to a lack and invasion to a surplus, the two concepts are theo

Abstract:
L’évanescence suppose un état de précarité qui se nourrit de sa propre incomplétude. Le corps qui s’éthérise est en permanente déperdition de matérialité et d’énergie, ce qui amènera le détachement de la conscience. L’acheminement de l’état « tout-corps » à celui de « dé-corps » passe par trois régimes visuels : par l’opacité, associée à la pierre et à la figure de Thanatos, par la translucidité, qui concerne la chair et le feu érotique et, enfin, par la transparence du verre et de l’air, marquant l’entrée sur les territoires de Narcisse. Le thème du corps évanescent est développé autour de ce

Abstract:
The concept of distorting the line between fiction and reality appears to be one of the main themes in Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001) as well as in Joe Wright’s screen adaptation of the novel, released in 2007. With the focus on the main character Briony Tallis this essay explores the influence that literature and fiction have on her, how they bring her to blur the line between them and reality and, to a lesser extent, the different ways in which the novel and its screen adaptation address this issue. Briony is first introduced as an author, underlining the importance that imagination holds for

Abstract:
There is a consensus today that we have witnessed the end of postmodernism in both fiction and theory. Due to contemporary fiction’s break with postmodernism being recent, little research has been done to outline the parameters of what exactly this break entails and its relationship to theory and current socio-political issues. The aim of this thesis is to attempt to differentiate between postmodernist fiction and contemporary fiction that was produced from the late 90’s up to today, outline its main characteristics and suggest alternative ways theory may be used to critically analyse fiction.

This thesis explores the notion of perversity in literature, specifically with regard to representations of taboo and abjection in Iain Banks‟ The Wasp Factory, Ian McEwan‟s The Cement Garden, and Irvine Welsh‟s Marabou Stork Nightmares. Julia Kristeva‟s Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection, as well as her notion of revolt, constitute the central theoretical framework for my analysis. However, I also draw upon the concepts of monstrosity, grotesqueness and the uncanny in order to explicate the affect of abject fiction on the reader.

The topic of this dissertation is the aspects of trauma and reaction to the traumatic experience that can be found in 9/11 literature. The research engages in a comparative analysis of five books that can be categorised as 9/11 literature, which means that the events of 9/11 are central in the novels and are a recurrent theme. The books have been written by authors of different nationalities: "Extremely Loud & Incredibily Close" by J. S. Foer, "Falling Man" by D. DeLillo, "Windows on the World" by F.

The aim of this study is to study the construction of literary values. I have been looking at how literature awarded with sponsored literary prizes has been reviewed in four major English and American newspapers. I have been studying the reception of literature by Ian McEwan, Hilary Mantel, Colm Tóibín and Zadie Smith between 2000 and 2012. The prizes in focus are the Man Booker Prize, the Orange prize for fiction and the Costa Awards. There seems to be an increasing number of articles related to each author after they have been awarded a prize, however with little change in the content of the

La figure du couple machiavélique, présente chez Shakespeare, Laclos, Barbey d'Aurevilly, Henry James, James M. Cain, entre autres, est étudiée selon une triple approche. La première approche, d'inspiration structurale, vise à dégager les éléments constitutifs de la figure et son scénario permanent. L’analyse conduite sur la base de cette approche confirme l'existence de deux matrices, l'une fondée sur le couple Macbeth, l'autre sur le couple de libertins des Liaisons dangereuses. La seconde approche, qui relève d'une démarche herméneutique, met en évidence le substrat biblique de la figure du
