CODURELLI, MARGHERITA. ""TREFFLICHER SPIEGEL DEINES ZEITALTERS!" ROMANO (1800-1801) DI AUGUST KLINGEMANN E IL ROMANTICISMO DI JENA." Doctoral thesis, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, 2022. http://hdl.handle.net/10280/122311.
Full textThis research is part of a renewed critical interest in the figure and literary work of August Klingemann (1777-1831) and it focuses on "Romano", a novel belonging to the first stage of his literary production. "Romano" was published in two volumes between 1800 and 1801, being the result of the ideas and theories which Klingemann absorbed during his university years in Jena (1798-1801). Besides his law studies, which he would then give up, Klingemann attends the literary circle surrounding August Wilhelm and Friedrich Schlegel, which, due to the prominent role played by poets and philosophers including Ludwig Tieck, Novalis, Friedrich Schelling and Friedrich Schleiermacher, would make Jena the centre of Early German Romanticism. This community experience would prove to be crucial for Klingemann's cultural development, and "Romano" is to be read as a synthesis of it, in terms of ideas, images and topics, as a combination of theory and praxis, reflection and narration, following the Romantic discussion on the novel, whose explanation is provided by Friedrich Schlegel in a well-known extract from his essay "Gespräch über die Poesie": "Eine solche Theorie des Romans würde selbst ein Roman sein müssen". Moving from these premises, the study has been organised in two sections: the first one aims at retracing Klingemann's experiences in Jena in the years of his contact with the Romantic group, as well as the rich ideological background included in "Romano": from art to religion, from poetry to philosophy. Instead, the second part of this research is devoted to a detailed analysis of the novel, in which, along with an exploration of the references to the main Romantic sources, great emphasis has been laid on Klingemann's ability to recall and combine a wide range of themes, motives, characters, episodes and quotations in a 'new totality'. In this way, "Romano" should not be regarded as a work of literature displaying marked imitative features towards the sources, to become a documentary text, resulted from the spirit of its age, deeply rooted in it and willing to convey, within a narrative frame, a lively picture of Jena Romanticism.
Texier, Léo. "Sur l'héritage romantique. Reprise et critique de la philosophie esthétique du Cercle d'Iéna chez Walter Benjamin, Georg Lukács et Carl Schmitt." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université Paris sciences et lettres, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024UPSLP084.
Full textIn the very years of the First World War, Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), Georg Lukács (1885-1971) and Carl Schmitt (1888-1985), three young authors from the German-speaking world, destined to be counted among the most influential thinkers of their century, produced writings in which the aesthetic theory of the Jena Circle plays a central role - as this inaugural moment of German Romanticism is known, centred on the brothers August Wilhelm and Friedrich Schlegel (1767-1845 and 1772-1829) and Friedrich von Hardenberg, known as Novalis (1772-1801). Whether in the form of exegesis, revival or criticism, these writings are particularly remarkable in that they seem to indicate a moment of renewed philosophical interest in the theses of Jena Romanticism. Through an in-depth study of these works, our aim in this work is to assess the problematic legacy - metaphysical, aesthetic, ethical and even political - left by early German Romanticism to contemporary philosophy, in an attempt to understand the fundamental issues, as well as the theoretical problems, arising out of the return made by our three authors to the philosophical proposal of the Jena Circle

Full textThe origin of this research is the originality of the Jena Romanticism works, in which their own conception is staged in the form of sacrifice. The current consensus says that Jena Romanticism introduces a new literary modernity. The first romantics notably led an important reflection about writing as an act. In our study, we consider the necessary connection which exists between sacrifice and writing. Considering that this link is not new, our aim is to highlight the romantic originality. We analyse the evolution of sacrifice, its permanency and its interiorization, and we study to this end some important theories on the anthropological, religious, philosophical and literary level. These initial analyses allow for a more precise definition of sacrifice considered by the romantic writers. At the same time, we highlight the significant changes in the 18th century society and the representation of sacrifice in the works which precede the romantics works. Finally, we study the personal and intellectual development of the romantics, the theoretical elaboration of a sacrificial process and the practical implementation of a self-sacrifice adapted to the writer’s purpose. The romantics are the first to have such a rational reflection on the sacrificial process, to analyse in an unprecedented way its origins and to develop a practice of writing based on the elaboration of a process conceived as universal. By highlighting a singular conception of the practice of writing, which now engages the writer in an irrevocable way, the focus of our work is to underscore the contribution of Jena Romanticism in the current conception of the writer and its practice, togive back to Jena Romanticism its rationality and to enlighten the origin of the major contemporary reflexions about sacrifice and writing
Die Originalität der Werke der deutschen Frühromantiker, in denen ihre eigene Ausarbeitung als Opfer inszeniert wird, und der heutige Konsens, nach dem die Frühromantik eine neue literarische Modernität initiiert, bilden den Auftakt zu dieser Arbeit. Die Frühromantiker entwickeln zuvörderst eine wichtige Überlegung über das Schreiben als Handlung. Wir interessieren uns in unserer Arbeit für die notwendige Verbindung, die zwischen Opfer und Schreiben existieren kann. Da diese Verbindung keine Neuheit ist, versuchen wir, die romantische Originalität ans Licht zu bringen. Wir hinterfragen die Entwicklung des Opfers, sein Fortbestehen und seine Verinnerlichung, und wir studieren dazu einige wichtige Theorien über das Opfer auf anthropologischer, religiöser, philosophischer und literarischer Ebene. Diese ersten Analysen ermöglichen, das von den romantischen Schriftstellern vorgesehene Opfer genauer zu definieren. Parallel dazu heben wir die wichtigen Entwicklungen der Gesellschaft des XVIII. Jahrhunderts und die Darstellung des Opfers in den Werken, die den Auftakt zu den romantischen Werken bilden, hervor. Wir klären schließlich den Gedankengang und die persönliche Entwicklung der Romantiker, die theoretische Ausarbeitung eines Opferprozesses und die praktische Durchführung eines der Absicht des Schriftstellers gemäßen Selbst-Opfers auf. Als Erste hinterfragen die Frühromantiker das Opferprozess so rational, beschäftigen sich näher mit seinem Ursprung und seinen Triebfedern auf neue Art und entwerfen eine Praxis des Schreibens, die auf der Ausarbeitung eines als universell konzipierten Prozesses beruht. Indem unsere Arbeit eine eigenartige Auffassung der Praxis des Schreibens ans Licht bringt, die von nun an den Schriftsteller unumkehrbar hineinzieht, soll sie den Beitrag der deutschen Frühromantik in der modernen Auffassung des Schriftstellers und dessen Praxis unterstreichen, der Frühromantik ihrer Rationalität zurückgeben und die wichtigen zeitgenössischen Überlegungen über das Opfer und das Schreiben beleuchten

Full textEarly German Romanticism : Magic idealism, das Unbedingte, the quest of the Infinite constitute multiple expressions of this short-lived litterary and philosophical movement dominated by Novalis and the Schlegel brothers who aspire to give to the act of creation the aspect of a radical event, the transformations of which appear in the works of René Char, Jean Giono, Julien Gracq et Léopold Sédar Senghor who revendicate to effectuate a reappropriation of the concepts of the Early German Romanticism. Is it a rereading, a reinvention or the constitution of an aesthetic vision for the construction of which the Early German Romanticism proves to be an indispensable reference ?
Moioli, Aurélie. "Le récit de soi : poétique et politique de la dissemblance : Jean Paul, Ugo Foscolo, Stendhal, Gérard de Nerval." Thesis, Paris 10, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA100151.
Full textThe thesis takes up the question of autobiography by focusing on works at the margins of the genre during the early 19th century, the period in which autobiographical writing in Europe came into its own. The works of Jean Paul, Ugo Foscolo, Stendhal and Gérard de Nerval destabilize established generic and canonic categories. They do so by pointing to the ethical and political issues at stake in the narration of the self, which are in turn linked to the experience of the subject and of time. The thesis thereby identifies and explores another autobiographical “line” emerging alongside canonical forms of the genre, a “line” which recalls Laurence Sterne through the use of arabesques and the reliance upon imagination in life narratives. These works emphasize the “line of poetry” which constitutes life and the subject. The poetics of these eccentric autobiographical works explores dissemblance in writing the self, time, and history. They question reductive understandings of identity as ‘sameness’ and conceptions of time as homogenous. The self is not ‘one’; the autobiographer is alone neither in his body, nor in his language, nor in the act of writing. Rather, he is in constant movement between places and languages, unable to establish a stable grounding for his narrative. The author’s persona is multiple and collective, inverting the myth of the romantic genius. Such transfigurations of the self are tied to transfigurations of memory, which allow for the past to be reenacted in the present and for the future. This melancholic experience is also one of haunting, for narratives of the self draw on the figure of the phantom as a sign of mourning for both personal and historical disjunctions. As witnesses of recent or contemporary revolutions, the autobiographers stress the incomplete nature of both individual and collective history, that is, the potential that such history contains. Narrating the self is therefore prospective; it is memory addressing the future
Mortari, Virgilio. "Avant-garde et révolution. Pour une critique des implications politiques de la théorie du cinéma d’avant-garde, avec l’étude du cas de Jean Epstein." Thesis, Paris 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA030026.
Full textFaced with the institutional and hegemonic ideological reappropriation of the emancipatory pretensions of what we call « Avant-Garde Art », this research aims at questioning the ideological and the social assumptions of such a paradoxical situation. Considering that cinema offers the most fertile research field, and confronting some of the most important recent studies on avant-garde cinema, this work criticizes the formalist approach while endeavouring to understand its ideological and political stakes in order to rethink, not only the concept of « Avant-Garde Art », but also Modernity and the vision of the Modern Age itself. Conceiving modernisation as a process of secularisation and democratisation of the socio-cultural spheres, the dynamics between critics and apology of the institutions, between stylistic or technical tradition and innovation, might rearrange themselves – according to a dialectical-materialist approach – as positions taken when faced with ideological and political conflicts related to the progress of Modernity and the discovery of its limitations. Intertwining poetical gestures with their ideological premises while leaving behind the definition that reduces Avant-Garde Art to a series of abstract formal breaches, we are led to acknowledge an evolution of Avant-Garde tendencies, reciprocally conflictual, reactionary and progressive. With this in mind and contrary to the hegemonic critical and historiographical discourse, we have attempted to show the reactionary dimension of both the theoretical understanding and the political instrumentalization of cinema formulated by Jean Epstein

Full textThis study focuses on the representation of the deformation of the human body, arguing that these examples of physical deformity have eventually engendered new research and artistic transgressions that characterise nineteenth century France.The works of Hugo and Ingres are focused upon on account of the symbolic richness derived from them with regard to the deformation of the human body, and the confluence of several mythological traditions. For the study of deformed bodies and their role in Hugo's cosmogony, we will use a similar analogous cosmogony: that of Dante Alighieri, which was able to feed the Hugolian imagination and to which we add the existential labyrinth. Methodologically, this analysis will be made by reading the space proposed by Greimas. Orthogonal axes are marked by characters in establishing specific locations that indicate a language to decipher. Regarding the work of Ingres, our goal is to highlight the deformation of the body as a work of aesthetics for the revelation of plastic beauty. Anatomical deformation already characterises his first masculine characters and mark still further his female figures which we have studied in more detail. To refine this approach we have established some relationships with other painters such as David, Ingres' Master, and with his friends the sculptors Lorenzo Bartolini, James Pradier and also with writers such as Théophile Gautier and Hugo. This research is based on several theoretical sources, they are essential to orient this rich universe of references to the Antique, the mythological, the religious, the sacred, the political, the social, the arts, and fantasy. This is why Phidias, Vitruvius, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Jorge Luis Borges, Mircea Eliade, Lévi-Strauss, Michel Foucault, Umberto Eco among others are also discussed to help the understanding of our study
Burkholder, Jeffrey. "Poétique de la nature ˸ romantisme et négativité de Rousseau à Proust." Thesis, Paris 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA030068.
Full textThis study finds in Rousseau a paradigmatically “modern” conception of nature. It is a nature marked by a paradoxical negativity, for if the idea of nature includes an idea of humanity, it begins to refer to all that is not human: the wilderness, the outside of the city. Nature is where man is not, but also where he is no longer: it is the distant origin that has no continuity with that which it originated. Thus, the “nature” that Rousseau finds in beautiful landscapes—a positive, sensible and describable nature—represents at once the origin and the negative image of modern man.From this point of view, the present study examines how a paradoxical nature comes to constitute in Rousseau the object of a new descriptive art. In the second part, it looks at the manner in which nineteenth-century literature takes up and transforms this new poetics. The writer’s mission becomes the imitation of nature, but not in the classical sense of mimesis, for literature does not merely reflect nature: it imitates its ontic mode, so to speak, its way of uniting the indeterminate and the determinate, the sensible and conceptual, the descriptive and the prescriptive. In the context of this complex relation between literature and nature in the nineteenth century, this study charts the course from Rousseau through the “genre descriptif” of Senancour and to an unexpected culmination in the works of Proust

Full textAntinaturalists! This term brings out the figures of critics of the nineteenth century, whose names have remained more or less engraved in memory and in literary history: Barbey d'Aurevilly, Leon Bloy, Leon Daudet, but also Pontmartin, Remy de Gourmont or Jean-Marie Guyau ... fascinating authors by their virulence, their rejection of modernity, their philosophical positions out of norm or innovative ... The present study tends to show the diversity that can animate this group, which is defined by the negative as "those who oppose Zola's literature". This alliance of opposites allows them to constitute themselves in full force on the literary chessboard.To apprehend this tension between the plurality of figures and the strength of a group whose unity is shattered on the Dreyfus affair, a first part will propose some pathways in the sociology and philosophy of the time, which highlight a complex landscape, traversed by strange phenomena of breaks and continuity. Then, questioning the way in which antinaturalists form a critical discourse. A chapter devoted to antinaturalist rhetoric will only reinforce the idea of multiplicity within this group. A double-movement of construction and deconstruction of this concept, will lead to reevaluate some grievances addressed to Zola by his enemies to highlight phenomena of re-borrowing and singular and paradoxical positions, which testify to the importance of the naturalist author in the literary field of the late nineteenth century, both literary and political

The thesis endeavours to demonstrate how the nocturne reasserts the darkness values to turn them into colors, and how it illuminates, with a subtlety absent in diurnal vision, the more complex aspects of society as well as the human mind.The confrontation between picture and film sequences analysis, with a perspective articulating aesthetic, philosophy and art history, leads to three main concepts: Distortion, Sublimation and Transfiguration. Thereby it establishes the nocturne as an image’s aesthetic category in cinema and photography.The main corpus in cinema and photography, organised by externals criteria (nocturne, post-1960-1970 years color) and internals criteria (similar operating processes aesthetic), is established with the movie extracts of Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999), David Lynch (1946), Brian de Palma (1940), Francis Ford Coppola (1939) as well as the photographic series of Gregory Crewdson (1962), Bill Henson (1955), Rut Blees Luxemburg (1967) and Daniel Boudinet (1945-1990).The second is based on the photographic series of Darren Almond (1971), Jean-Christian Bourcart (1960), Nicolas Dhervillers (1981), Laurent Hopp (1974) and Chrystel Lebas (1966), as well as Antoine Barraud’s (1973) movie extracts.

Full textThis study concerns the meaning of religion in democracy according to Alexis de Tocqueville. I argue that this meaning is as important and contemporary as the author’s betterknown concepts: the tension between equality and liberty or the threat posed by centralization to freedom. In this work I am interested in the nature of democratic man; such a study is essential to an attempt at understanding his interaction with religion. I also consider the place of religion in a democratic society; Tocqueville see’s it differently in America and in France and this leads him to different conclusions. I confront the idea of civil religion, which appears in Tocqueville’s description of the American’s approach to religion, with that of a religion of the heart, present during the authors numerous introspections. I argue that these two differing concepts correspond with ideas of revealed and natural religions and that they should be framed together in the context of Theism. I propose a new reading of the potential for faith in democratic society on the basis of Tocqueville’s study of the religious character of the French Revolution. I also show that events of the last part of the XVIII and first part of the XIX centuries are understood teleologically by authors living at the time. Religious language proves to be a crucial tool for understanding the revolutions of the era. In this thesis I focus on Tocqueville’s suggestion that every society should take care to harmonize it’s political and metaphysical ideas and I argue that this insight stands as proof of the utility of Tocqueville’s religious thought for the present. According to the French thinker modern man is predisposed to be a man of faith, while in Tocqueville’s opinion he should be a man of religion. The predisposition is a matter of the individual’s psychological condition while Tocqueville’s recommendation is related to the social function of religion, specifically the Catholic Church. This functional side is, however, conditioned upon religion being harmonized with the society that concerns it. This paper is the result of a close reading of Tocqueville but it also involves a study of a selection of movements and thinkers, the ideas of who were of importance to the author. These movements include Romanticism, Liberalism, Conservatism and Jansenism; thinkers include Blaise Pascal, Montesquieu, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Joseph de Maistre and René de Chateaubriand. An analysis of religion in Tocqueville’s work is an endeavor that should be of use to sociologists and citizens wanting to better understand the meaning of religion in contemporary society; it may also prove helpful in helping one better understand his/her potential for faith.
