Marras, Margherita. "L'insularité dans la littérature narrative sarde du XXe siècle." Toulouse 2, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996TOU20050.
Full textInsular vision profoundly impregnates sardinian literature : in novels the island appears as a place that the author needs to relate to and to research, like the epicentre of an imaginary world, at the horizon of all the author's quests and desires. The island is the place where heros live, heros who never determined their history but who have been wounded by it : men (whose beliefs, obsessions and desires we know) profoundly marked by their marginal condition and the uncertainties of their land. "sardity", "sardisme", "sarditude" are direct and specific expressions of sardinia's insularity. They bring the writers of this region to light and are the basis of a literature endowed with its own motivations and autonomous with regard to any system. The sardinian novel's realistic connotation is filtered through the author himself in novels conceived as instruments to perpetuate historical memory, as a way of putting forward the specificity and the problems of the island. The insular representation in this literature is, however, also a way for the novelist to annonce his existential worries, which are characteristic of the sardinian man, and to carry out his insular reconquest whilst perpetrating the values and hence fundamental reality of his land
Bouchindomme, Marie Camille. "Pièges de l'île et de l’oeil au cinéma et en peinture." Thesis, Paris 3, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA030075.
Full textThroughout the study of film, painting and literature, from Homer to the Quay brothers, through to Strindberg, Bergman and Antonioni, this thesis proposes a thematic and formal exploration of the multiple facets of the Island. As a closed world, the island imposes to the eye new trails that film directors and painters have in charge to organise from chaos. The reminiscences of Arnold Böcklin’s centrepiece Isle of the Dead, painted at the end of the 19th Century, set the island as the home of boundless revival and citation. The island thus appears as pure representation: a scenery, a vision or a projection. The many instances of traps and confinement, through thematic labyrinths and the recurring use of mise en abyme, depict the island as a site of custody. Yet, the Island is also a maternal land that invites many forms of regression. Akin to the Eden, it offers visitors its shapely softness consenting to loving embraces or the phantasm of a rebirth. As a place of intimacy, the island displays its feminine forms in various models including the cave, the house and the rowboat; all of which create a disturbing strangeness. The island is then a matrix that defines the insular imagination, comprising its role as a tomb. Seductress and protector or black and organic, these are the various faces of the island that will be explored over the representations

Full textThe thesis deals with the whole island societies of the massif armoricain. In the study, we took into account all the isles which have known a more or less prolonged or important human settlement throughout history. Nevertheless, we put the emphasis on the durable and specifically island settlements (we consequently did not take into account noirmoutier, which have been linked to the mainland at low tide through the gois passage since the end of the eighteenth century, and by a bridge since 1971). In our research, we concentrated on fourteen isles or archipelagos : a multilocal canton (belle-ile), three monolocal cantons (ouessant, groix, yeu), eight parishes (brehat, batz, molene, sein, ile-aux-moines, arz, houat, hoedic) and two dependencies of coastal parishes (chausey, glenan). We tried to treat the historical evolution of those human groups through the testimony in the regional litterature, which really developed in the contemporary age (nineteenth and twentieth centuries), while taking into account the geographical constraints and sociological variables. Thus we reached a current classification of the isles according to the available data

Full textExotic literature is rich with male and female figures who represent a newly- discovered world. They seem to convey both the dream and the reality of this world. Based on historical facts, authors build characters thanks to whom communication with the found land becomes possible. To investigate the myth of the Belle Creole in French literature helps us to understand what it stands for in this exotic imaginary world, but also what it means in the imaginary world of overseas French colonies. This research examines the timing and the details in which the myth emerged in literature as well as its evolution. Finally, we shall see how the myth persists in postcolonial literature

Full textThe subject of this work is a space, the island, and its setting tis the narrative. The travel literature (Tournefort, Taynal, Bougainville, Cook) enables to determine a geographical and historical background (development of the science and the settlements towards America and Oceania). Utopia (Morelly, Lesconvel, Saint-Jory) authorizes an ideological outlook (the island releases a system of codified values). Robinsonade (Daubenton, Montagnac, Grivel, Joly, Lesuire, Longueville, Morris, Neville, Paltock, Ducray-Duminil) focuses structures which rely the narrative and the descriptive, within a kind of esthetical vision. The representation of the island collects works of the European literature where mainly two national areas (France and England) are placed side by side. Our chronological starting point is the Spanish 16th century with the publication of the 2nd part of Quixote where the island represents an allegory that extends with Gracian. 1797 is the publication date of a text of Cambry which vehicles, as Paul et Virginie, a nostalgia. Besides, Robinson Crusoe and la Nouvelle Heloise had a great importance because they turn the island towards realistic fiction and creative metaphor. Leguat, Marivaux, Prévost, Sade complete this approach. Others minor if not unknown works illustrate three important notions: insularity (landscape), "ileity" (mental representation), "isoleity" […]

Full textThis dissertation is both a global and detailed study dedicated to collections of funeral verse published in Italy, France and the British Isles between 1587 and 1644. It follows a comparative approach, for several reasons. Firstly, because these works were written and published in several languages. Secondly, because of the number of engravings they contain and the close relationship they often bear to the fine arts. Since many of the poems printed within these works were first pinned to funeral hearses or catafalques, they must be considered in the light of funerary art and architecture. Thirdly, these works warranted a sociological and historical analysis because of their collective nature: they are the product of a group of authors, whose ideals and aspirations they embody. The initial part of this study presents the development of this type of funerary commemoration from its origins in late Quattrocento Italy to its later expressions in mid-sixteenth-Century England and France. The second chapter examines the evolution of these collections from the 1580s to the 1640s, as well as the identity of the deceased and their commemorators. The third chapter gives an overview of the great formal and rhetorical variety of the poems published in these collections. The case studies in chapter four illustrate how and why groups of authors assembled in order to conceive collections of funeral poetry. Finally, the last chapter is a brief survey of the relationships that these works bear with different types of funeral ceremonies

Full textPrimary exoticism as defined by Victor Segalen is still very relevant to the modern society mainly when it refers to insularity. This phenomenon is not only maintained by the numerous literary productions of the periods of colonial conquest and the establishment of empires but also by the media and the cinema overusing indefatigably the idyllic imaging of the island. However, this representation recedes widely in Indian Ocean literature where the second generation of writers in particular frees itself from the colonial ideals always perceptible in the first generation. The initial objective of our study is therefore to highlight the insular archetypes forged during the colonial period and to demonstrate the various processes of their erosion in the literature of the Indian Ocean over the generations. It is then a question of understanding why are the island paragons deconstructed in this literary field. Through their approach, do the authors of the Indian Ocean want to express the desire of an identity, linguistic, territorial and historic reappropriation ? Do they besides wish to assert their inscription in a regional literature to open better to the mondialité as defined by Édouard Glissant ? With the support of postcolonial theories, mouvements and concepts at the same time taken up by different studies on Exoticism, Insularity, Creoleness and Littérature-Monde, we so want to propose avenues for analysis and reflection leading to a better comprehension if not apprehension of the aesthetic universes found in the Indian Ocean basin

Full textInsularity india ocean is born fram a History-injury. It si paradoxical since it rhymes with willingness to open up. This insularity is denying oneself, the rejection of an island that history has made prison. It is seeking un-insularisation, continentalisation, bursting fences and imposed borders. The purpose of this research is to reveal a passionate, passion, that since the XIIIth century to the present day, the writers of the three southern islands mainstain with their mother land. This thesis wants to demonstrate a unity despite their differences, between the Islands of the “Great Ocean”. The Malagasy authors fierce need for anchoring in their region, indicates a “restlessness”, insecurity, in front of an exploded island (by ethnic strife, often silenced), and an ontological blur, because the big Islands origines are problematic. History has been occulted. Jean-Luc Raharimanana talks about “invented”, recreated origins. A présent quest, and increasingly, in dontemporary literature, chows that while Madagascar has always wanted do dissociate itself from its sister islands, its past draws them closer, relates its history, the arrival of foreign colonizing settlers, with slaves, on its shores ; trafficking that took place, ethnic rivalries and the process of creolization that birthed it, its ontological insecurity and its literature, to Mauritus and Reunion. These three islands have a unity in their multicultturalism. Their Being, the acceptance of what they are, are under construction, are Becoming

Full textThis doctoral research seeks to relate the myth of Robinson Crusoe and that of the desert island to modern European history, in order to apprehend several poetic functions of the post-1945 social system, particularly as portrayed in post-war novels such as Island (1962) by Aldous Huxley or Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifiques (1971) by Michel Tournier. Considering the island space as a metaphor for a European social system in-the-making, the historian Michel de Certeau argues that the story of Robinson Crusoe is highly representative for occidental modern historiography. After the experience of the violence of the twentieth century, though Daniel Defoe's island story continues to be an important European narrative of making society, the rewritings of Robinson and the desert island present a completely different perspective than the one proposed in The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, as the perceptions of the nation-state, time and space, identity and the place of the individual within society are radically transformed. The post-World War II avatars of Robinson seem to constitute a literary act involving collective awareness and a therapeutic memory exercise regarding the historical violence. The rewritings of this literary myth often constitute an act of 'remembering' a colonial past, a revision of the official history, a collective memory act having the aim of soothing the present of the burden of history

Full textThe literature of Liam O'Flaherty demonstrates the fine relationship that exists between insularity and decolonisation. Born into an insular and peripheral universe (The Aran islands), his work reveals the complexities of a minority culture. The process of decolonisation is "doubled" on account of the geographical dimension : Ireland is an island situated close to a larger colonising island (England). Furthermore, island cultures, aware of their marginality and fragility, tend to invent identities and subsequently share many features of a post-colonial society. However, the process of decolonisation is more lengthy and violent. We study the neglected aspects of O'Flaherty's work : his short stories in gaelic and their modernist dimension. With their basis in realism they expose historical truths, taboo subjects and the hidden aspects f Irish society. The collection Dúil functions as a master narrative for his subsequent writings in english. It describes life in the Aran community at the beginning of the twentieth century. O'Flaherty's english language writing is equally experimental. He uses popular forms of the novel such as the "thriller" to expose the criminal forces that govern post-colonial Ireland. Historical issues such as famine, war and oppression are also evoked. O'Flaherty's work ultimately calls into question the status of a decolonising literature within the central literary canon. Hence the problem of the classification of his work as major or minor literature
Lee, Myung-Eun. "L'insularité théâtrale au XVIIIe siècle." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040002.
Full textThe objective of this thesis is summarized in the following question: is it possible to establish a general scheme of the 18th century's theatrical insularity? In other words, how does the figure of the island as the image of contemporary world formulate the drama writing? In which way does the island condition its evolution, mise-en-scène and public interpretation? If our attention is paid to the theatre pieces having the island as the action ground, it is as the way of insisting on the singularities of theatrical facts, for the island is as much theatrical a place as dramatic. But it is also as the way of insisting on the very specificities of the insular space, and on all the geographic imaginaries which comprehend the island in connotation. All the symbolic that emerge from the representations of the island grasp in itself the reflection of the epoch's self-image. Through all its connotations related to the configuration of insular topology, the insular scene distinguishes itself as more classic from the other places that we could meet in the theatre. The proper identity of each island and its originality with regard to all other places, including the other islands, can be never neutral in the development of the intrigue. On the contrary it has such influence on the development that the latter could be often totally dependant on the former. Considering the theatre to be fixed and limited in space (the scene) and in time (the duration of the representation), which constitutes its most characteristic mark, we find it obvious that the theatre is easily associated to insularity by these prosperities, and that theatricality and insularity have a common ground that makes their symbiosis, as it is said, natural

Full textSince the arrival in tahiti of navigator l. A. Bougainville, in 1768, this oceania island has inspired many french writers, such as diderot segalen, chardonne, reverzy, loti, gary. . . Travel narratives, novels, essays, short stories, poetry and plays thus constitute the oceania french literature. The author of this study who has been living in tahiti since 1975, describes this literature under different aspects, points out the contradictions and paradoxes from which it was built, questions the main writers, and at last, offers a reading of this literary phenomena based upon his concrete knowledge of oceania. The literary imagery which has been sticking to tahiti for over two centuries, actually only concerns a part of the production; moreover, it turns out that the prejudices about this island, widespread in europe, have prevented from reading properly the narratives which it inspired. Modernity did not kill the oceanian literature but it renewed its expressions, if not its main themes. As to the literature of a french-speaking country, it is only starting and all ways are open for it, but the institutionnal situation of polynesia favours the western cultural pattern

Full textMarie Susini and Maria Giacobbe, two female writers who were born in two islands of the Mediterranean - Corsica and Sardinia - and belonged to the same generation, have written about their native islands while they were abroad. Through her imagination exacerbated by the distance, each of them has recaptured her native Ithaca. The main object of this research is to study the genesis of their writing, the analysis of forms and themes connected to their constant interior “revisitation”. A comparative approach will further examine the text through the critical standards of Margherita Marras, and comparisons with the texts of other authors, whether they are insular or not. What is basically at stake is the question of identity: what is an insular writer? What does writing about an island consist in?

Full textThe desert island is one of the central motifs of the adventure novel, and the objective of this doctoral thesis is to understand why it is so crucial to the definition of this genre, by determining the specificity of this place and of the works that resort to it, in order to define their particular codes and motifs, as well as their evolution throughout literary history. It focuses in particular on the mutation undergone by this genre and this space at the turn of the 19th century, especially in the works of Stevenson, Conrad and Wells. It aims to show that the island is much more than a simple setting: that it actually constitutes a literary laboratory, where a utopic form of writing can be developed. Indeed, although the desert island is an extremely coded and overdetermined literary space, it is also paradoxically a place where everything seems to be possible in terms of adventure as well as of writing: some sort of breach, out of space-time, conducive to the creation of a new reality. Between stability and wavering, utopia and reality, the island is simultaneously a scientifically established anchorage point, and a place that sometimes seems to be particularly fleeting, appearing and disappearing from the map: a contact zone between the real and the imaginary, the self and the other, the centre and the periphery. Therefore, this dissertation aims to assess to what extent adventure literature is shaped by the specificity of the island chronotope, and conversely, how adventure shapes the island’s contours, thus creating a new sub-genre that we call insular adventure. It more specifically analyses the impact of this chronotope’s evolution on the three authors’ poetics of adventure at the turn of the century, relying on a geocritical and a geopoetic approach of their works. This new methodology allows us to study the link between space and literature and to draw the outlines of a literary geography or a geopoetics of insular adventure, showing that there is indeed a certain isomorphism between the insular space and the literary form

Full textGeorge Sand, from all sorts of information, from this huge background that epitomizes all romantic themes, has managed to produce a deeply original work. "Un hiver a Majorque" (winter time in Majorca) is typical of her own genius and it reveals the intensity of her intimate life and her creative drives. This account of a journey also relates her ability to see reality, the outside world and to depict them. Although a dreamer, she nonetheless has a pratical and critical mind. Her "mal du siecle" does not hinder her from seein g reality. Faithful to former childhood oriminiscences, to former social hatred, she cannot dissociate the idea of a republic from that of social regeneration. The salvation of the world seems to rest on her own shoulders, on those of her friends, fellow writers and social reformers of the day, who strived for destroying first then rebuilding towns and eventually re-planning the town. She carried the torch on all fronts, be they religious, political, economic or social. She embodied a romanticism of want wich asserted that mankind, at its utter best, could not simply be happy of the rising of bourgeoisie, if it aimed at becoming a reality. George sand embodies a promethean romanticism in a feminine way

Full textThe aim of this study is to demonstrate that in our current, globalised world, the development of indigenous knowledges and writings in the second half of the twentieth century prompted the emergence of a cognitive construction that was not so much indigenous as exogenous and non-ethnocentric. A new literary approach is therefore necessary to analyse this collection of exploration narratives, previously examined by historians. The goal of this new approach is to identify a prism or paradigm which will bring these disciplines and concepts into dialogue: it is textuality which will connect all of these themes, allowing for their critical analysis. In exploration narratives, it is the point of non-subjectification and objectification of the world which ensures that the Native is constructed as an object by this textuality. Thus, carrying out a diagnosis of this distinct access to subjectification impels one to retrace the genealogy of this phenomenon in literary and artistic works, which are analysed here as “narratives,” as are the founding texts related to these colonial contacts. The knowledge over the Native constructed at this time allows us to discern the knowledges of the Native, or rather the knowledges created through the reassessment of indigeneity, which is no longer seen as inherent characteristics of the Native, but rather as a privileged location for the construction of her/his subjectivity and identity. Indigeneity, henceforth understood as a prism, re-examined through textuality, will in turn bring to light the new relationships being woven as a result of cultural movements, which are themselves redefined according to their endo- or exogeneity

Full textThis doctoral dissertation explores the fictional geographies in the novels of three contemporary African American writers: Jamaica Kincaid, Paule Marshall and Gloria Naylor. This interdisciplinary study focuses on the fictional representations of space, place and time and their interrelations. I start from the premise that the three texts share the diasporic and rhizomatic map of the Black Atlantic. On this map, the protagonists’ roots and routes are inscribed through three narrative settings: the native island—as central trope, a cluster of intermediary sites and the (peripheral) city of exile. Each setting is a complex ontological geography upon which time, movement, exile, and memory are articulated and re-articulated in a palimpsest-like manner. I examine the dichotomic relationship between home-island and city of exile, as well as the tensions between their associated temporalities: cyclical versus linear perceptions of time. The island emerges from our study as the fundamental locale in the characters’ peregrinations. Ultimately, reasserting space means re-mapping the past

Full textIn 1892, Paul Gauguin’s painting Manao tupapau shows, behind a naked Tahitian woman, a little hooded character. The artist explains that this is a tupapau, that is to say a ghost in the Polynesian traditions. In reality the pattern already appeared in France in 1888, without any reference to Oceania, and it will haunt the work of Gauguin until he died in 1903. This figure, invasive in a so-called exotic and erotic work, deserves special attention, especially as most critics often trivialised or deleted it. Does this character prove that the artist is yielding to fin-de-siècle fantasy ? Is it a way to feed exotism, like the Orientalists painters, by the coexistence between this shadowy ghost and the « belle des îles » ? Knowing that Gauguin hated the mercantilist and racialist Europe, does he have a real interest in the Polynesian occult world and beliefs as they were fought by Christian missions ? Our dissertation showed that Gauguin’s excursion in the Pacific islands went a downward spiral. When the Polynesian customs and religion are standardized by colonialism and Christianism, when guilt of damnation and mortality caused by the syphilis are spreading, the hooded genius represents death prevailing over pleasure, the demonization of sexual freedom. This figure expresses also a descent into the dark room that is Gauguin’s psyche, his being torn between will of enjoyment in the new Cythère and fear of a demonized and untamed female sexuality, between his desire to come back to the mother image and his avoidance of a stressful domination figure. At last the little genius helps to give the work an original esthetics, challenging artistic and ideological stereotypes

Full textGender relations in the Malagasy context are often conceptualised in terms of complementarity with a relative denial of the existence of overt male dominance and female oppression and a marked insistence on female superiority. Nevertheless, the diversity of the representations of gender relations in the different regions of Madagascar does not always reflect this generalised pattern, which points to the necessity of a contextual analysis of the representation of men and women and the power relations that structure their interactions. The present study focuses on the notions of masculinity and femininity as well as the power relations between men and women in a selection of Malagasy folktales that were written and published from the 19th century to the present and the contemporary performance of oratory discourses by orators from Antananarivo and Paris. Drawing on surveys and interviews with a selection of storytellers and orators, as well as the observation of storytelling and oratory performances, the study highlights the ways in which gender differences are translated into gender inequality, which tend to limit the possibilities for female empowerment. The main arguments that are presented in the research stress the prevalence of male dominance and female subordination as can be observed in the variety of the male and female characters’ experiences in the selected folktales and the current experiences of female orators in the field of oratory performance. Two possible itineraries for female empowerment are explored based on contemporary storytellers’ perceptions and representations of gender in their works and the audience’s responses to the latter

Thesis, Université de Paris (2019-....), 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019UNIP7115.
Full textVarious discourses associated with posthumanism have mainly developed from the 1950s, expressed through technoscientific advances as well as through artistic and literary works and even in politics. In this context, the period between the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century was defined by the release of the Rules for the Human Park [Regeln für den Menschenpark] by Peter Sloterdijk at a conference in Germany in 1999, whore launched the debate on biotechnology and anthropotechnology in Europe. In parallel, the publications in Mexicoand Spain of Jorge Volpi’s trilogy of the twentieth century, En busca de Klingsor (1999), El fin de la locura (2003) and No será la Tierra (2006), and in France, the novels by Michel Houellebecq, Les Particules élémentaires (1998)and La Possibilité d’une île (2005), bear the imprint of this period. The present work begins by studying these five novels taking into account the fundamental topics of posthumanist configuration through critical and theoretical discourses which address this movement. It then proposes to analyze in parallel, on the one hand, the perception and representation of the history, the past, the present and the future among novelists, and on the other hand key milestones for the creation and development of posthumanism, from its mythical and science-fictional sources to the manifestations of the American "counter-culture". Posthumanism is thus envisaged not only as a subject that serves as a mediation between two works, but also in its epistemological dimension. A dimension present in the novels of both authors, and that they allow to reconsider

Full textConsidered as the "stereotype of the fin-de-siècle dandy and pederast", Jacques d’Adelswärd-Fersen (1880-1923) is the author of several literary works (novels, poetry and critics) which enter the corpus of the "minor decadents" in the history of literature. If Jacques d’Adelswärd-Fersen did illustrate the stereotypes of French Decadence, an attentive reading of his works invites to open other perspectives and to look differently at the author who published in Poesia, the review of Futurism, and who founded in 1909 the review Akademos, in the aim of rehabilitating homosexuality. The themes of elevation, pride and pagan renaissance in his poetry and novels make him a pioneer of gay pride. His work swing between two centuries, as a transition between decadence and pagan renewal, between the homosexual "martyr" and the "activist", between the Greek ephebe and the contemporary schoolboy. His anchorages in arrière-garde literary movements, like Parnasse, Symbolism or Decadence, keep him in the 19th century. But his support to avant-garde Futurism and his fight for homosexuality make him enter the 20th century. Far from the image of the "poète maudit" condemned by his contemporaries, he left a desire of light and elevation which overcome the complacency for twilights ; he lived a life of freedom, of will power and of pride, illustrated by multiple choices : the choice of Capri, of the boy and of the speech against the silence
Sefrioui, Sarra. "Les îles dans la délimitation maritime." Thesis, Paris 11, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA111033.
Full textFocusing on islands in maritime delimitation leads us to be distinguished from certain doctrinal development which explicit the evolution of the law of the sea by a concrete study which belongs to the framework of analysis of an evolving law. Islands strongly intervene in separating maritime spaces. Their influence is to be regarded in the establishment of maritime limits (of the territorial sea, the contiguous zone, the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone) and in the maritime delimitation as well. The present thesis studies the role of islands in maritime delimitation in general, meaning the two operations of fixing the limits and separating the overlapping areas where legal titles compete. Islands as a geographical factor are able to extend the baseline further depending on the position of the island in relation to the continental coast of the coastal state to which it belongs. They play an important role in generating claims to maritime jurisdiction and have potential impacts on the determination of the outer limits of maritime zones when they are situated in a considerable distance from the coast and in the “wrong side” of the hypothetical equidistance line. In this framework of analysis, the study, on one hand, deals with the problematic of the effect of islands in the national appropriation of maritime zones which can eventually generate an overlapping of the legal titles between two or more states over the same maritime space and call for a maritime delimitation (Part I). On the other hand, in the delimitation of the maritime boundary between coastal states which maritime zones overlap the process of maritime delimitation consists of identifying the islands as relevant circumstances and the determination of their potential distortion over the maritime provisional equidistance boundary. The adjustment of the equidistance line, in the application of the equidistance-relevant circumstances rule gives variable effects to islands over the maritime boundary so as to obtain an equitable result. Islands may have full effect, partial or no effect. Islands may is some situations be enclaved. The thesis examines the practical effect of islands in the maritime delimitation process (Part II)

Full textThe first writings on art in Haiti were based on the questioning of otherness - the aim was to know how literature could help define a Haitian identity. This dissertation uses literature and painting to explore this issue of otherness – an otherness inside, in which otherness lies between the members of a same society. The popular artistic and cultural productions are analyzed through the perspective of Naïve Art which gives birth to this reflection on the interaction between literature and painting. The representations of the rural world by the indigenous movement are first explored in literary and pictorial works, in order to see if practice could match the theoretical objectives established by the thinkers of the movement. The dialogue between literature and painting is then explored through several perspectives – cultural, social, esthetic ones, while studying the following novels, La contrainte de l’inachevé by Anthony Phelps, L’Énigme du retour by Dany Laferrière and Yanvalou pour Charly by Lyonel Trouillot. In painting, our analyses notably refer to the works of André Normil, Wilson Bigaud, Wilbert Laurent or Pétion Savain among others

Full textThe Caribbean and Indian Ocean literatures of the last few decades has brought to light, through its poetic journey, the inherent ambivalence of the circumscription of island geographical reality, which allows access to the island consciousness. Insularity appears as the metaphor of a chronic pain caused by the torn between geographical and memory issues. The island, the place from which the imaginary emerges, is established as a common breeding ground for the texts of Patrick Chamoiseau, Ananda Devi and V. S. Naipaul who, through their poetic process, show the conflict of anchoring and escape, of confinement and openness. Thus in a diachronic approach, the aim is to grasp the inscription of this founding element of poetry and its praxis in order to hear the overtake initiated by these poetics of Mondialité, a key concept of Edouard Glissant's poetic philosophy. Glissant’s work echoes with Naipaul’s writing, as they are contemporaries, while Chamoiseau and Devi have inherited of Glissant’s poetic and philosophical thought. Then, the poetics of the Relation constitutes the exegetical arsenal that allows access to the authors'propositions of contemporaneity. The description of the malemort, the creating process of a memorial masterpiece, the poetic praxis of the monstrosity which release the body (physical, social, and literature), are the « unpredictable » generated. Creation thus tends to free itself from categorizations and assignments, because it is an echo of the movement of the world

Full textThe thesis focuses on the representations of the Malagasy society in the short stories of the writer of the 30s, writing in Malagasy, Alfred RAMANDIAMANANA (1886-1939).Writer, poet and short story writer at the beginning of the colonial era in Madagascar from 1906 to 1939, Ramandiamanana, nostalgic of the pre-colonial era joined a secret nationalist society discovered towards the end of 1915. The secret society turned out to be an intellectual movement whose main objectives were to preserve the national unity and the struggle for the development of Madagascar. For nearly thirty years, he published either poems, or text analysis, or short stories, dispersed in the first Malagasy non-denominational newspapers of the early twentieth century. It becomes therefore interesting to reflect on the direction taken by these various forms of writings while putting them in their historical context.The thesis is presented in two volumes. Volume I, the Analysis, examines the relationship between history and politics as well as the status of the Malagasy language in relation to the French language introduced by colonialism. During this period of colonial pacification, the press was muzzled by censorship and the repression was severe. Thus, the analysis focuses on the ways in which the intellectuals took over ownership of the language while taking into account the critique of the colonial society and the Malagasy society of the time, using a coded language. The author also uses laughter to get his message across to the readers. His works express the cultural commitment of the author.Volume II consists of 48 texts in Malagasy with the French translation by Nirina Vololomaharo RAZAIMIANDRISOA. Granted that the language used and the context are not always known to the public today, detailed explanations are provided in footnotes

Full textThis research project explores the different inscriptions of postcolonial identities in an extensive corpus of Mauritian novels written in French and English between 1990 and 2010. Over these last few decades, aesthetic, thematic and poetic innovation can be observed in a young generation of Francophone Mauritian writers, whereas such tendencies are rare among their Anglophone counterparts. While the former can be characterized by their subversive, demystifying and anti-exoticising postures, as well as their complex ways of interrogating issues of identity, the latter rather seem artistically stagnant. The Mauritian literary field clearly reveals itself as unequal as far as quantity and quality are concerned. A postcolonial ‘cross-reading-against-the-grain’ of these different texts, which focuses on leitmotivs of violence and interculturality, allows us to interrogate critically a certain number of literary tendencies currently found in Mauritius. How do the novels negotiate the island’s topographies and temporalities? Which ethno-cultural logics and ideological dynamics can be found underlying these contemporary texts? How do the novels represent complex factors such as ethnicity, class, gender? In other words, how do the Mauritian writers reflect on – or refuse to do so – the complexity of their multicultural nation? This comparative endeavour aims at understanding the dominant characteristics of a very heterogeneous literary field and seeks to analyze to what extent the new aesthetic tendencies offer original perspectives on contemporary issues of identity in Mauritian society as well as its literary production

Full textMy research focuses on the visual artists' work who practice installation art in the French-speaking Caribbean islands. These islands, composed of the French West Indies (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint-Martin as well as their administrative dependencies) and the Republic of Haiti, are lands where encounter, miscegenation and Creolity strengthen the permanent relationship that people have with their different genesis, with multiple ramifications and cross-border origins.In this context, installation art, which is located at an infinity of aesthetic explorations’ confluence, through which rules and forms were definitively questioned during the twentieth century, presents itself in the mode of a multidisciplinary approach that, today, is authoritative in many disciplines. Fruit of encounters, impregnations, it is at the thresholds, at the edge of an infinity of geographical, social, political, cultural borders, where the margin that separates the spectator from the work of art dissolves, becomes darkened, fades and faints. This significant boundaries' dissolution between the arts manifests itself in many fields: installation art is a phenomenon revealing this dissolution which, in the French-speaking Caribbean islands, takes on a specific content.In the archipelago, the border question is omnipresent. It mixes historical, sociological, anthropological, philosophical, cultural, artistic and aesthetic issues. Indeed, a boundary is a composite zone where a set of perennial, life-saving or violent relationships is built between several individuals, several peoples, several states, between different cultures and customs, but also between several landscapes, several textures, several movements and exhalations. These data are variables that are heard in the Caribbean artists' work, that measured and confronts several historical, identity, cultural or institutional spaces. Moreover, the sense of these artists for hybridization, mixing and all forms of impregnation constitutes a powerful and constant breadcrumb, which allows to assert their advertence for a culture of globality, inscribed in parcel spaces

Full textThis thesis analyses short stories of Mauritius in the French language during the colonial period. In fact, Mauritius has been colonised by the French from 1715 till 1810, and by the British from 1810 till 1968, in which year it gained its independence. These political upheavals had an impact on the literary works of that time, works which are nowadays forgotten and have often been accused of being a literature of imitation. However, in the 1940s, innovative ideas started to crop up and changes in the writings and themes are observed. This study therefore illustrates the evolution and invention in Mauritian writings especially in its short stories

Full textThis doctoral research on the works of Emile Zola and Michel Houellebecq is constituted in a comparative perspective because they share common concerns. While both novels deal with diagonally opposite terms of utopia and dystopia, science remains the common link. In the nineteenth century science and technology made huge progress. The rise of the Third Republic reaffirmed the values of liberty, equality, fraternity that inspired the ideals of the French Revolution; also State and religion were separated in 1905. But soon after, with two World Wars the dream of establishing utopia fell apart. Thereafter, the utopian concept was distorted per convenience and it came to be defined in liberal terms as an outcome of the rise of market economy. Hundred years after, Houellebecq denounces the existence of utopian world. For Houellebecq, liberalism has become a synonym of violence, inequality and debauch. Emile Zola and Michel Houellebecq look differently at the role of science in social development. On one hand, Zola disillusioned by the role of religion, believed in the achievement of a better world based on scientific and technological progress. In contrast, Houellebecq opposes the idea of progress through science and advocates it as a mean of destruction of the humanity. In quest to work on the novels Travail of Zola and The possibility of an island of Houellebecq, we’ve selected an original approach that will analyze the poetics of the notion of utopian/dystopian novel and the question of utopia and dystopia in the selected works of both authors

Full textAutism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication as well as the presence of repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. ASD affects approximately one in 68 individuals. They usually occur during the first three years of life but, in some cases, symptoms are recognized later, when social demands increase. There is a strong genetic component to ASD, as indicated by the recurrence risk in families and twin studies. However, the genetic architecture of ASD remains largely unknown because of its extreme heterogeneity. It is very challenging to identify, for each patient, the combination of risk alleles. Our laboratory identified the first genetic pathway associated with ASD – the NLGN-NRXN-SHANK pathway – playing a key role in synaptogenesis during development. There are an increasing number of genes associated with ASDs but few studies have been conducted on epidemiological cohorts and isolated populations. Here, we investigated 357 individuals from the Faroe Islands including 36 patients with ASD, 136 of their relatives and 185 non-ASD controls. Data from SNP array and whole exome sequencing revealed that patients had a higher burden of copy-number variants, higher inbreeding status, higher load of homozygous deleterious mutations, and a higher ASD polygenic risk score compared to controls. We confirmed the role of several ASD-associated loci (NRXN1, ADNP, 22q11 deletion) and identified new truncating (GRIK2, ROBO1, NINL and IMMP2L) or recessive variants (KIRREL3 and CNTNAP2) affecting genes already associated with ASD. We have also identified three novel candidate genes playing key roles in synaptic plasticity (RIMS4, KALRN and PLA2G4A) carrying deleterious de novo mutations in patients without intellectual disability. Overall, for 11% of individuals with ASD, a known genetic cause was identified, for 39% at least one strongly deleterious mutation was identified in a compelling candidate gene and for 50% no obvious genetic cause was detected. In summary, our study provides a better understanding of the genetic architecture of ASD in isolated populations by highlighting both the impact of common and rare variants but also by revealing the role of new genes for ASD. These genes code for proteins that are essential for neurodevelopment. The identification of these factors involved in synapse formation and maintenance could provide new leads to better understand the biological basis of ASD and find novel therapeutic strategies. However, it is necessary to further understand the combined impact of different mutations on neuronal function in order to better characterize the genetic architecture of ASD
