Jouanno, Corinne. "L'ekphrasis dans la litterature byzantine d'imagination." Paris 4, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA040358.
Full textThe present thesis concerns itself with the study of ekphraseis (descriptions) to be found in seven byzantine works of fiction dating back to the xth on to the xivth centuries. The first part is an analysis of the subject of the descriptions, of their integration within the novels and their function, be it narrative or symbolical. The second part deals with the influences that exerted themselves upon our novelists: ancient ones (the byzantine ekphraseis being nurtured with imitations of greek writers), and modern ones, be it literary (influence of biblical texts and perhaps of western literature) or extraliterary (our descriptions sometimes echoing byzantine realities). The third part, a stylistic study, lays emphasis on the importance of rhetoric in descriptive passages: the massive use of hyperbole, of stereotyped similes, the constant resort to plays on words impart these texts with quality that is much less descriptive and referential than aesthetic: the ekphraseis are one of the essential additives of the process of romanesque idealisation
Pagnoux, Elisabeth. "Mexico dans la litterature mexicaine contemporaine." Paris 3, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA030020.
Full textIn the second part of the xxth century, mexico city becane a metropolis, and a literary character was born. The aim was to chow how, in the literature of this periode, the town became the "other" one" opposed to all the characters. First of all, each character exists as a town's inhabitant, no one escapes from the collective time. The city as a community (as opposed to a materia achievement) has disappeared, the chaos was born from sterile opposition between two conceptions of time : a cyclical one and a linear one. Between the "other one" and the past, the indian and the foreingner, mexico struggles in a dislocated present and can't resist corruption and forgetfulness. Urban sapce materializes the chaos of the city whose ar5chitecture reveals a discriminatory town. The frontier, asserting itself though movement, makes it difficult to understand and define this urban space. Mexico becomes a monster and sets itself against the other characters who have to struggle in the town. Together they rik their life. A real communication in the town and with the town will be necessary to escape danger. The multiple languages espress mexico's chaos, but the town needs to accept the other's speech to find a new coherency. Very few characters are able to understand the different urban expressions. The writer and the reader, also swallowed by the town can save mexico because writing and reading are the last step to a real communication. They introduce order in mexico's chaos and will save the town
DENIZ, TULIN. "L'image des militaires dans la litterature romantique." Caen, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994CAEN1147.
Full textAfter the fall of the first empire, the decline of the old soldires, now on half-pay, and the frustration of louis xviii's soldiers confined to the role of policemen under the restoration rejoin these young men's disillusion, among whom the first generation of romantic writers can be recruited. About, the end of therestoration, being ill at ease in their time, these writers try to find an ideal in this republican and imperial past and they question the military and social realities of their time through the uprightness of republican soldiers and the misfortunes of the soldiers of the empire. So during the period after the restoration, the worldweariness develops the napoleonic legend and myth and draws in literature the state of these soldiers whose disillusion, isolation and yearning for glory shows so many similarities with the romantic hero and also with the writers themselves. Stenchal and alfred de vigny who were soldiers relate their experience ; victor hugo who is the son and grandson of soldiers makes it his duty to restore the favour of the republican and imperial soldier, and honore de balzac shows admiration for napoleon by refering to soldiers in his novels. Then romantic literature becomes the preferential element for a rereading of a military history of

Full textThis thesis deals with the picaresque "genre" which is found in the arabic, spanish ans french literatures. The first part (in 13-299p. ) which is a kind of introduction is devoted to the arabic seance wich developments concerning its genesis in the tenth century, the inventor's problematique, the socio-literary origins of this type, the study of the first regulating model (on both thematic ans formal levels), its comparative study with the second regulating model as well as its evolution and its proliferation up to the twentieth century. The second part (in 265p. ) deals with the spanish form starting from the genesis of "lazarillo de tormes" to the eighteenth century. That is where the question of influence is approached, especiably the arabic (through the arabs and the andalusian jews). That is also where the comparison is made in order to bring out the various characteristics of this "genre". The third part (in 305p. ) is devoted to the french picaresque novels, from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, comparing them each time and bringing out some illustration through the study of the novels and the most representative writers. The last part is a general conclusion delimitating the "genre" in all its aspects

Full textThe data that literature broaches are inextricably linked to the problem of nostalgia. So that we have tried, at first, to establish the idea of nostalgia according to the definition of psychoanalysis. As a second step, we have worked on proust's thinking in relation to time, in his work remembrance of things past, which gave him a solution to nostalgia and which forms the leading thread of remembrance of things past. As far as literary technique is concerned, proust introduces the cities of what he calls "a psychology in space" and the weather alterations, which serve to free nostalgia, and in which he saw two principal themes. We have analysed them as the problem between self and object
Gantrel, Martine. "L'autre dans l'oeuvre romanesque de michel tournier." Paris 4, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040275.
Full textThe role and the function of the other are of primary interest in michel tournier's novels. First of all, his novels, and most particularly vendredi ou les limbes du pacifique, le roi des aulnes and les meteores, represent the existential quest of an individual or of several ones as in les meteores, in order to discover and to achieve the very meaning that structures their existence. The other in tournier is, on the ontological level, the necessary complement of the "i" while on the existential one, it is also what alienates the "i" and makes it become a stranger for itself. We thus explore the many ways in which these novels both signify the ambivalence between the "i" and the other, and overcome it. It remains that tournier's novels do not take only the other as their subject for an ontological and existential debate. The other is also part of what is represented in the novels and of the fictional world at large. We thus try to define the conditions of its representation in order to establish the conditions and the modes of its existence in the novels as compared with those of the main character. This phenomenology of the other as we call it, then serves as a basis for a confrontation within the novels between the concept of the other and its reality

Full textMonqid, Nada. "Le thème de l'eau dans l'oeuvre de Guy de Maupassant." Nantes, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006NANT3039.
Full textWater is one of the most existing themes in the work of Guy Maupassant. It reveals an artist painter who knew how to translate aquatic pictures by a brilliant writing and with a lot of skill and tact. He made aquatic activities of his time, a faithful portrait of a rare photographic realism. He immortalized the amusements of the banks of the Seine notably through the boating and the dance halls that bloomed then. His journeys on water supervise numerous aquatic landscapes: in France, Italy and North Africa. His wanderings on his boat “Le Bel-Ami” were the opportunity of discovery and resourcefulness. The opportunity to let himself go, with the currents and winds, to his impressions which dominate the sensations leading to a visual pleasure. But Maupassant is not reflected only in the pleasures of boating and the accounts of journeys, his waters are also black and deep. His fatal and aquatic female immerses its accounts generating dramas and provoking anxiety. The water of Maupassant conceals the fear of time which passes, betrays the obsessive fear of madness and of death. The waters of Maupassant answer the ambivalence which nourishes in-depth this author who himself binds the extremes

Full textCommonplace of the literary critics, the connection of proust's work and especially of his novel, Ala recherche du temps perdu to the painting and esthetics of the impressionists is nevertheless found wanting of a systematic and precise study. Beyond the proustian theory of impression and style as well as his visual and pictorial illustration expressed through the imaginary paintings of elstir, it is the entire impressionistic school that permits us to explain the recherche and to divulge analogies as much from a formal point of view as from a theoretical and a thematic one. These analogies emphasize the modernity of the proustian novel by realizing the depth of transformations that he imposed, just as the impressionistic school did, on the concepts of reality embodied by the traditional representation. On both sides, an identical phenomenalistic approch dictates the expressive forms and partakes of the famous phenomenological self awareness of the perceptive consciousness and, consequently, of art itself, which became its faithful interpreter

Study of social aspects and their symbolical projection, coming from the theme of dissipation. After the description part, the writer tries to situate the journalist within the context of la comedie humaine, in relation to the others young ambitious men. The theme about dissipation treats others aspects about the character: the play-boy, the unsuccessful writer, the man working for the newspapers, the defeated rebel, victim of his contradictions
Visitkitjakarn, Vatchara. "Le mariage dans les oeuvres romanesques de george sand." Paris 8, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA080165.
Full textThe works of george sand, in particular her novels, present very widely the theme of marriage, which she approaches from two angles : the ups and downs of an unhappy union and the trials neccessary to a happy marriage. George sand analyses in her novels one of the great social problems of the 19th century, the legal forms of marriage being shattered by the historical events of this time. The behaviour within the framework of this institution varies entirely accordingly to the social class, for example the attitude to each other of the married couple and the relation of the father to his children. As the marriage is considered as a means of consolidating the social standing of the family, it is obvious that the marriage of convenience constitutes the most common type of union during the restoration. This custom is the most strongly contested by george sand throughout her works, because money, education and beauty were at the time the only means of social mobility. George sand makes a plea for the marriage of love : her heroes all love passionately, which allows them the power to unite with their lover without being corrupted. To escape conformism and corruption they have to either move outside society (to hide their love, to die ou love outside the bounds of marriage) or to revolt against it and to have unconventional relationships. George sand also envisages the improvement of society and the establishment of an equality between the sexes which would allow happiness in marriage. Thus, "the soul and the faith", which she bequeaths us from the period of her novels between 1832-1848, to which our study is limited in its historic and thematic perspectives

Full textThe analysis on the organisation of the works and the symbols shows us the persistence of the theme of time in bosco. Bosco metamorphoses the double parameter of the time and of the no-time into a imaginary space. In his play of the imagination, the real and the imaginary, the time and no-time are not caught as contradictory phenomena, but as a dialectic totality in which the destiny of the heros is inserted. Nevertheless, what bosco shows us by the synthetical structure of the imaginary, is his desire to incline toward the mythical no-time where the imaginary rebels against the dissolution of vicissitudes. The psychic time is constituted by the dialectics of memories, the total suspension of the temporality and the spatio-temporal structure. The mythical time, as dimension-archetype, is constituted by the initiatory time, the myth of paradise and the cyclic time. Passing through the psychic time and the mythical time, the mouvement of the energy of the time against the decrepitude and the death is toward the centerm toward the one

Full textThis thesis studies the portrayal of the foreigner in argentine literature in a context of massive immigration. It focuses on a corpus of about sixty works written between 1880 et 1910: novels, short stories, theatre, literary and journalistic essay and laws. The thesis is divided into three parts. Part one treats the relationship between literature and reality (the point is to show which aspects of the history of foreigners in argentina are recorded in literature) ; part two deals with the ideological contents of the corpus ; part three examines the mechanisms that construct the portrayal of the foreigner in argentine novels, short stories and plays (mechanisms whose dependance upon ideology is also studied). The conclusion shows the relationship between the picture of the foreigner and the development of fiction in argentina
Duport, Danièle. "Le jardin dans la litterature francaise du seizieme siecle." Paris 10, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA100129.
Full textThe garden in the french literature of the sixteenth century questions the renewal of the image of the garden and, more particularly, the literary commonplace. The field of enquiry is composed of realms as apparently alien as they are varied, all the more so as the very diverse discourses about the garden often prove complementary. The richness and the metamorphoses of the topos reflect some interesting manifestations of the transformations then at work in the mentalities and in the new man. It also appears that the literary discourses on the fiction garden meet with what the real gardens try to express, and contribute to elucidating the way the sixteenth century considers the garden, as the place where man pits himself with nature. The garden descriptions are divided in three groups : real gardens, in agricultural treatises and travel books; gardens of the personal transformation: in the religious allegory, in alchimy, and in the new ideal of rustic life; rhetorical gardens where is experimented a new variety, where poetics draws a clear line between the georgic style, as rigourous as a vegetable garden, and the very flexible expression of the new landscape of styles: the garden-landscape. Whatever their diversity, the images of the garden combine in a unexpected aggreement around the central problematics of the world variety. Every garden is an ordering of nature, which states a particular degree of interpretation of nature by art. The real garden, and more so its literary image, looks for a natural art in which gardening would become invisible

The atmosphere of mystery arising from the background and mystery effects in the narrative structure of the novels. The mystery of others, the failure of any attempt at communicating with them, the existence of a secret. Violence and cruelty in green's novels. The mystery of the individual, the dissolution of the self, the prison of self, and the part played, the presence of god and satan, and the reversibility of the emblems of good and evil in green's work. The mystery of the invisible, the temptation of the beyound, the attempt at grasping the secret of the ego through chilhood and death, the rape of the soul by faith. The structures of green's inner world as expressed in his work. Symbols of darkness and symbols of light. Structures reflecting duality and structures reflecting unity in julien green's themes and style

Full textThe main subject of this thesis is to study social relationships and loving relationships in la prisonniere, starting from a positive analysis of these relations and using a pragmatic approach. In the first part of the thesis, two main situations of the roman are considered: concerning the conversation in mme de guermantes' salon, the interaction takes place between persons who accept each other as legitimate interlocutors. The verdurin's salon gathers together two different classes (aristocracy and bourgeoisie) which can't communicate because they are still separated. It was interesting to study each class' expectations, its behaviour, and then to conclude to a codified social system in proust's roman. The second part of the thesis is mainly about loving relationships between marcel and albertine. The analysis focuses on marcel: the ambiguity of his desire, of the image he is looking for, the moral code and the social code which have a prominent part in his behaviour, make loving relationships unsatisfactory. Only art can really put "souls" in touch with each other

His sojourn at surat, with parsee priests, was successful for he was the first oriental scholar to ever study an ancient sacred language: the zend. In 1771, in france, he translated from persian to french the "zend-avesta, ouvrage de zoroastre", and in 1801-1802, from persian to latin the oupnek'hat, persian version of the upanisad. Anquetil-duperron is the forerunner of both "indian" and "indo-european" studies
Mahdi, Salih Sattar. "Le sens metaphysique de la fraternite virile dans l'oeuvre de malraux." Limoges, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987LIMO0505.
Full textMalraux expects from virile fraternity a deliverance which must not be gained by forgetting man's fundamental destiny. A ruthless clarity of insight, the surest sign of our human dignity, is always more forceful than the ever latent desire to escape. Malraux is doubtlessly haunted by virile fraternity in as much as much as it eludes him. People, whether they be coolies in canton, men tortured in shanghai, peasans in spain, or prisoners in a camp in chartres, only ever appear through an individual awareness, painfully and proudly separate. Fraternity as experienced by the hero is not such as would enable him to come out of his shell ; it can only link him to those of his kith. There is, in the looks of the revolutionary period, an exalting of the myth of the people, much more than a communion between the people and the hero. Fraternity is not a refuge from humiliation, an exaltation which woned merely be a rather subtle form of entertainement ; it is a weapon. The individual can be fructified by his link with the community ; he is not absorbed into it, but is nourished by it. In fact, fraternity is uplifting rather than unifying : it raises man above his condition. And in this respect, we can speak of he awareness of malraux's heroes
Gam, Abdelhakim. "L'image de l'orient dans une revue francaise "le correspondant" : 1870-1914." Toulouse 2, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986TOU2A012.
Full textWhat sort of image of orient did the french catholic magazine: "le correspondant" spread, between 1870 and 1914? besides an investigating part-which leads to the description of an unknown text- the answer is related to linguistics as well as to history. A thematic statement shows the different components of this image: it consists, among other aspects, in an alienation and an aberration which appear in the exegerations and the exclusion of anything different. The result is the image of a negative and unreal orient, due to absence of proper information. This is evident first in the text itself, which, because of its own characteristics, seams to report feelings more than real facts; and secondly in the historical context: a mixture of imperialism, self-confidence an ancestral contempt. An example of writing and strong predjudices which have actually transformed orient-up to our days-into a stereotype, more folklorical than real

Full textThe invention of fictions appears as the oustanding means to give shape to the experience of time and to go beyond its limits thanks to the handling of time in novels. In the corpus of 18 works formed by all of aragon's writings which, strictly or not, come under the heading of novel', one can discern certain constant features, but also sets of works characterized by varying methods in the treatment of time. The years marking a transition in this respect are correlated both with the author's personal evolution and the main trends of the modern awareness of time. The sense of historical evolution and the imagination of history turn out to be at the heart of aragon's treatment of time and thereforre the basic part they play in his novels will be analyzed through a few instances of his use of documents and of the vision of history which arise from the structure of his works. Lastly, aragon's art as a novelist of time is brought into light through a study of three narratives. The conclusion brings out the specific features of aragon's time and their necessary relationship to fictional creation
Henein, Eglal. "Verite et deguisement dans "l'astree" d'honore d'urfe." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040009.
Full textAstree's first readers, between 1607 and 1628, admired a novel that introduced a new esthetics although they did not notice that honore d'urfe based his work on the medieval fourfold theory of interpretation multiplying forms of disguises in order to enhance his conception of human relations and his views on love. Astree's lesson has not been understood because its content has never been judged according to the epistres morales, a senecan and christian meditation. This pastoral and historical novel focusing on errors of perception and on tricks is built on references to artistic and literary transpositions because its author relies on metamorphosis to disclose an ambiguous truth illustrated by the fountain of truth in love. Writers who continued the novel after d'urfe's untimely death betrayed their master by ignoring pastoral and religious values and by favoring miracles. They neglected an essential fact : the fountain is the ironical representation of an illusion because perfect knowledge of the beloved can become deadly. Wise men count on faith, hope and charity

Full textOur intentions in this thesis, has been to analyze the literary representations of the body tortured by illness. In this prospect, we have studied scientific ideologies which, in the second half of the 19th century determine what is morbidity, deviancy, insanity. The physio logical codes have been analyzed, as well as the way used by realist novelist to insert, in the stories, a medical documentation. Then, our attention has been focussed on the metaphors which identify society, language to an organic whole. Besides, it was necessary to study the reasons which made the writer describe mysticism, the sufferings of the artists to elaborate their works of art, as a kind of illness. Finally, we have noticed that realism, alway trying to penetrate through the secrets of flesh, is torn by two conflicting tensions : this form of esthetism intends to embody real life, in reference to analytic knowledge of doctors, it constantly suggests that a negative pulsion can be found in the very impulse for life

In the second part of our work, devoted to the "spaces of writing", we came to the conclusion that there are some similarities or some differences in the space-writing techniques peculiar to each of the authors studied here. In the third part, "today's imaginary world of islam : from the original mythical exile to today's real exile", we first evoked mahomet's exile. Then, we tried to check wether the prophet's exile, which was the foundation of the kingdom of islam, was still promising for the north africans, "candidates for exile", or if, on the contrary, it went off along with tear and wound. In our fourth and last part, "exiles and the french-speaking literature from the maghreb", we attempted to study the link to the french language for writers from the maghreb. Then we dedicated ourselves to the study of the place of the french-speaking literature from the maghreb within the arab and french literatures. Finally, we looked into the concept of exile for north african writers
Menu, Michel. "Jeunes et vieux dans la litterature grecque archaique et classique." Paris 4, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040120.
Full textThis study, based on literary sources, analyzes the various authors and genres in chronological order from homer to thucydides. Concrete portraits of young and old people in their constant relationships prevail over an abstract appreciation of each age taken separately. The tradition of a hierarchy, in keeping with the rules of nature, implies the legal institution of a code defined by the principles of seniority and initiation. The description of individual features gives way to an analysis of the sociological part played by the various age-groups. However, lexical variations, interaction between all the aspects of civilisation and the alternate effects of set phrases or proverbs on one side and historical dynamism on the other reveal the complexity and relativity inherent to the theme. Archaic and classical literature provide permanent references: anthropomorphism, stereotypes concerning physical or psychological characteristics and

Full textPeasants take up a place apart, doomed, in the french social structure. Their traditional representation oscillates between the image of the "savage inside the country" and the one of a rustic idyll of which the pastoral constitutes the literary paradigm. Shaken in its structures and hierarchies, the 18th century will make this over-simplified symbolic blow up, bringing to light a "problematic peasant" in the novel. Anticipating the sociology of peasants, the novel has a function of knowledge which reveals the new problematics of the peasant-society relation. Both a document and a range of propositions available as a pattern to the social contemporary imaginary, the novel appears as a parasociologie tool revealing the evolution of the french social representations of peasants. The 1734-1844 period will be especially fertile in it. Marked out by the "peasants novels" of marivaux, retif de la bretonne and balzac, it explores the ambivalence and the tensions of the relations between peasants and the urban societies. In the centre of new problematics, lay the ideas of nation and access to middleclass. Parvenus'novels make up a national reference by highlighting the multiple capillarities between town and country. Balzac's country is peopled with peasants, for its modernization depends on the peasant's, i. E on their assimilation by urban references too

Full textThis research is a compilation and a study of french arthurian dwarves from the end of the twelfth century to the end of the fourteenth. It is a attempt to show that a great part of their origin is drawn from creatures belonging to folklore itself, namely : goblins. They inherited from them their numerous and strange abilities which are a remnants of magic powers. However, the arthurian dwarf may have appeared in literature only because of the controversy held against real court dwarves. Indeed, the feudal society of the twelfth century in europe as a whole, seems to have disapproved of the privileged position they held close to princes. A topical subject, the dwarf attracted public interest, and this picturesque character soon became indispensable to novelists. The fashion for dwarveswhich reached its climax in the second quarter of the thirteenth century-was such, that they vanished from chivalric literature with the genre itself

Full textThrough out the ages, man has projected his fears and yearnings into various emblematical figures. We have chosen to follow in the tracks left by the werewolf in domains such as history, mythology and literature. Our analysis attempts to explain in the light of texts, both classical and modern, from antiquity until 1995, the many significations that the werewolf figure has acquired in the course of his various metamorphosis. The conclusion, brought forth by our investigations, will be thematically developed further on in chapters dealing with the notions of evil, solitude and the redemptive beast within

Full textThe corpus of this thesis is a collection of nine studies devoted to italian renaissance literature. The object of this work is to throw light on the various interactions between literature and society. It focuses on three main points. First an analisis of the different social types and their representation in prose novella. Thus the characters of the peasant and the upstart, both representative of a certain social otherness, enable one to discover how the authors operated changes on the reality of their time in their narratives. A second approach to the processes by which the writer uses extraneous elements and appropriates them, consisted in studying different re-writing phenomena in the novella. These stylistic exercices, classic at the time, are only totally meaningful if they are related to the narrator's cultural aims. Finally the relationship between the writer and his public is considered in several studies. Certain works, for instance behavioural treatises, are cleanly meant to be didactic, but there may be some discrepancy between the intention and the realisation. Other texts, apparently neutral, conceal the writer's desire to guide the reader's moral reflexion and esthetic preferences, the anthology as a genre thus contributed to imposing a certain conception of poetry on the petrarchian model of court poetry. The different aspects of the writer's intentions and approaches have been closely related to the social and political changes that took place in renaissance italy, as well as to the role played by the development of printing

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to examine the main identity problems of the greek literature of migration in prose which was created in europe. The first part contains main theoretical elements of the identity notion in psychology and sociology as well as the total number of the literary texts collected and studied during the research. The second part is devoted to the systematic study of a limited number of literary texts belonging in two different periods (19th century/ post-war period). These are texts of nine authors of a great variety. The third part is devoted to the elaboration on certain suppositions put forward during the analysis of the texts. In this cese the objective is to search the main traits of the greek migration literature in prose: the interdependence of the issue of migration and the problematic of identity, the function of space and time facts, the role of characters in the development of the plot etc

Full textTravel literature in italy between 1750 and the end of the ancien regime presents a great variety of forms, and deals with subjects neglected by earlier works. The traveler who undertakes te relate his trip to italy is confronted with a multiplicity of accounts from which he must distinguish himself by setting forth an original project in his preface. Many accounts thus present themselves as a critiism of travel literature, and the traveler becomes the reacer and the commentator, and, as the case may be, the heir or opponent of the writers who visited the peninsula before him. That is the reason he deserves a literary portrait. In part one, the study of the methods of composition distinguishes works that emphasize personal experience and impressions from these that claim to instruct theruoghly en italy. Part two analyzes the content of the discussions on italy and makes clear the position of each narrator vis-a-vis the commonplaces. It results that, under an apparent uniformity, each account brings an enrichment to the ideas on italy in the speres of esthetics, sociology, or politics. After having presented this group-portrait of the traveler-narrator, it then becomes possible to depict more striking characters from this group. Part three brings to light the literary interest of the accounts of madame du boccage, mercier-dupaty, duclos, and especially of the president de brosses

Full textThe purpose of this work is to study the world of sensation in the novels which francois mauriac wrote from 1913 to 1935. The writer was born in a provincial and catholic family of the higher middle class. His sensitiveness was modelled by his moral experiences: rooting in his native country, continuous return to childhood, violence of passion during the youth, struggle between nature and grace. In the creating of his novels, mauriac tries to find his authentic self with the help of memory, and tests its permanency. His heroes, like their creator, yearn for an ideal they caught a glimpse of in their childhood, rebel against life, and seek their lost purity in human love, which is bound to fail but leads them to the love of god. To describe the mood of his characters, mauriac projects it on the landscape. The real scenery becomes a scenery of their interiority. The sensation establishes a correspondence between man and nature. Nature becomes a thought, dreamt and idealized universe

Full textThe thesis aims to examine the views of literary critics and scholars of the first half of the nineteenth century on one of the theree branches of medieval french literature in jehan bodel's classification, the "matter of britain". The study of the contribution of literary criticism to the understanding of medieval and in particular arthurian texts takes as its framework the literary debate on romanticism and its consequences. Against this background it attempts to show how attitudes towards the texts reflect some of the general trends of french romanticism. In relation to works of scholarship of the period the thesis studies to what extent the views of scholars, especially in the areas of the aesthetic value of the texts and the origins of the matter of britain, are also a reflection of concerns which can be called "romantic"

Full textThe hiatus results from the encounter of the final vowel of a word and the initial vowel of the next one. In homer's verse, it is usually bypassed by dropping a more. If a short one, the final vowel is elided; if a long one, it is shortened. But this general rule admits of exceptions, when the final short vowel is not elided or the final long vowel is not shortened. When on the strong stress, this anomaly does not alter the verse structure (so we shall not mention it), whereas on a weak stress -after one of the two short syllabes of the dactyl, or the second long one of the spondee- it brings into the line a break which sounds like a mistake, and this is the subject-matter of his study. This, which was an insoluble question before bentley's brillant find, re-introducing the initial digamma, writes off a good many inexplicable hiatuses. There are some left, though; hence the endeavours of heyne, spitzner, ahrens, to account for or excuse those hiatuses judjed faulty. Their endeavours, as well as those of their successors, remain ineffec- tive. The present study is informed by a different princi- ple, one which is not an a-priori, but is imposed by the text itself, and one which is proved valid all along. Far from being "faulty", the hiatus serves expressive purposes. It alway expresses a separation, vi-

Full textAlbert modiano having not registered himself as a jew, in 1941, was arrested and taken to the depot, an annexe of drancy, and freed by a french gestapo. But was it not for this event, sym- bolic of the ambiguities of the occupation, would patrick modiano have had the desire to become a genuine french writer ? this thesis takes into consideration all of modiano's published works. There are several approaches : literary, historic, sociocultural, psychoanalytic. The study contains three parts which concern the two ideas 'image' and 'pere'. The first part approaches the different types of paternity which are : parent, social father, surrogate and mentor, showing their social, psychological and sym- bolic importance. The second part focuses on albert modiano. Firstly, the thesis tries to recreate al- bert modiano's biography, which is made difficult by patrick modiano's use of fiction ; then, it deals with his father's multitude of 'doubles'. The 'person' becomes a 'character' whose image develops through the fictional parts of his works. The personal myth arises from the haunting metaphors, as a result his works have partly become a 'tombeau'. Finally, the authorship answers our question : mo- diano wanted to reply to the anti-semites and to give himself a cultural identity. Biographical elements and intertextualities were brought together to create modiano's recurrent themes of guilt, disappearance, the contradiction between forgetting and remembering in a very nostalgic way. His self-portraits reveal his profound purpose : to be a warden of memories and to erect a memorial for all those unknown in history whose traces time will erase. Has he exorcised the memory of his father ?

Full textThis work is an attempt at reading william faulkner as a speculative writer as well as a novelist. It draws analogies between faulkner's fictional treatment of helpless states and sigmund freud's own representation of helplessness (hilflosigkeit); apart from freud, other speculative writers such as lucrece or pascal are evoked in the course of this study : for instance, parallels are drawn betweenlucrece's analyses of fear and dismay, or pascal's developments on dizziness, and faulkner's own representation of despair. In faulkner's fiction, helplessness and anxiety, and the various responses which they generate, provide a basis for an anthropological definition of man as a "self-defensive animal". As an outcome, an extremely broad definition of "art" emerges in faulkner's fiction, since any act of self defense is liable to become a "skill" or even a "craft". This dissertation also includes a study of blues singing as it appears in faulkner's novels : as one of the many art forms that can be born in a struggle with melancholy states

Full textIn this thesis we study how the artistic avant-garde was perceived by the political press in France during the first thirty years of the Third Republic. We propose to question the notion of avant-garde by studying it through the political prism, trying to ascertain what the artists’ politically aware contemporaries used to consider avant-garde art. We do not focus on the political commitments of the artists, but on the way their art was perceived. We chose to consider a rather long period of time, ranging from 1874 to 1905, from Impressionism to Post-impressionism. The first exhibition of the impressionist group took place just after the Third Republic was proclaimed, on the 4th of September 1870, and the unsuccessful attempt to restore the Monarchy in 1873, but before the Wallon amendment voted in 1875, which formalized the establishment of the Republic. We study its reception both in the wake of the establishment of the Republic and as this political regime settles in France, when the Republicans cease to be part of the opposition and start leading the country. Analysing the reception of the art movements emerging in the late 1880’s allows us to grasp how the political audience reacted to the artistic production from the Moderate Republican government to the Radicals’ – formerly called intransigeants in the late 1870’s. Although the purpose of the political press was not to discuss art per se, it still reported artistic and political events, hierarchically presenting them on a daily basis. Acting as a powerful tool to explore the expectations and reactions of its intended politically aware readers, the political press remains a very relevant source for art historians
Jasser, Ghaïss. "Les personnages de femmes dans le roman francais entre les deux guerres." Paris 7, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA070101.
Full textOur research is organised around three main movements whose progression follows the difficult evolution by the woman characters towards a distinct and autonomous individuality. This evolution is studied in close connection with the various status of the man characters. So, in order to grasp the essentials of a theme, we took the double option to compose our corpus out of a nearly equal number of female and male novelists and to place side by side novelists recognized as great and other authors who enjoy less fame or who havge remained completely unkown. It is the entity of woman lost between morality and myths who makes up the first movement of our analysis. The male discourse occupies here the entire space of expression. In the second movement, women's individuality starts to take shape, but we see her grappling with the demands 0f desire and love, those of man and those of her own. The third movement of this study looks like the dawn of an (prise de conscience) which allows the female character to assume her new condition at the expense of a total loneliness. She uses freely her body and gains rights and places which were up to now reserved for men. Those men loose their prestige in the eyes of women who from now on revolve round other centres of interest
