Chaplier, Claire. "La cruauté dans les nouvelles de Joyce Carol Oates." Paris 7, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA070001.

Abstract:

Dans certaines nouvelles de Joyce Carol Oates (écrivain américain, née en 1938), une forte concentration de scènes de cruauté verbale et physique envahit les pages (recueils parus à ce jour entre 1963 et 1996). Cette constatation récurrente nous a amené à examiner le lien entre la cruauté et le genre de la nouvelle. Comme la cruauté n'est pas un concept, il a fallu tracer les grandes lignes directrices (mythologique, philosophique, théologique, psychanalytique) qui éclairent son ( ses) origine(s) dans la pensée occidentale ainsi que ses conséquences sur l'individu. Cependant, elle reste diffic

Abstract:

Depuis le début de sa carrière il y a cinquante ans, les écrits de Joyce Carol Oates - ses récits de fiction tout autant que ses récits non-fictionnels - n'ont cessé d'explorer de manières diverses les mystères de la vie. Étudier ce qui constitue l'individu, ce qui le caractérise dans sa relation avec le monde, les problèmes qu'il peut avoir pour interpréter ses expériences et sa façon de comprendre la différence entre rêve et réalité ssont des thématiques que l'on retrouve dans toute sa fiction. En ce qui concerne la forme qu'elle adopte pour véhiculer ces notions thématiques, ses oeuvres ont

Abstract:

Architecture is the thoughtful making of spaces. Within the last decades of architectural history the role of the architect in society and therefore of architecture itself changed. Issues such as space and architectural language gain significance.Narrative architects such as Bernard Tschumi, Daniel Libeskind, and others are inspiration for a design-methodology which focuses on the development of an architectural language.The actual project will be the interpretation of the short-story Heat by Joyce Carol Oates. Its analysis serves as basis for the design of an architectural statement.Emphasis

Abstract:

Serial killers are present in most Media today: TV-shows, books, magazines, news shows and music. Research about them has been made in many fields, such as criminology, psychology and psychiatry. There is also research about the serial killer as a cultural being. In my paper I have looked into the serial killer in fiction. I have chosen to compare two novels that deal with the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. The novels are Lotta Lotass’ Min röst skall nu komma från en annan plats i rummet and Joyce Carols Oates’ Zombie. By examining how the novels relate to the actual case and how they describe

Abstract:

Cette thèse associe étude stylistique, approche narratologique et théorie féministe pour analyser la représentation du corps dans la fiction de Joyce Carol Oates. Il en ressort que le corps a un statut particulier dans son œuvre car il apparaît à la fois comme un carcan aliénant et comme une voie d’émancipation pour l’individu. En effet, le corps biologique est d’abord caractérisé comme un double charnel du Moi effrayant pour le sujet qui y voit sa mort en train de se faire. Cette esthétique gothique de la corporéité entre en résonance avec une angoisse propre aux femmes de se voir chosifier,

Abstract:

French literary translators have traditionally translated in an ethnocentric fashion in such a way that the translated work did not seem translated. They tried to write their translations in the same way the author would have, had he been French. Readers of French translations seemed quite satisfied with that approach. Yet there are translators who do not feel comfortable with this ethnocentric approach. They have done a great deal of reflection on their work, and are introducing new ways of translating literature. One of these is Antoine Berman. We have dedicated the first half of our work to

Abstract:

This thesis examines the pervasive violence and emotional injuries inflicted upon the female characters in Joyce Carol Oates’s short fiction, where the women suffer tremendous loss. While critics have discussed what losses occur because of the various depraved and damaging acts, there is little literature exploring the consequences of these losses. I offer a more nuanced approach to interrogate Oates’s work, avoiding a simplistic tainting of Oates’s women as mere victims, and instead focusing on how that loss is apprehended: that is, analysing what is left after loss, and how this loss shapes

Abstract:

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

Abstract:

Partial Minds argues that contemporary American novels strategically break conventionally-defined norms for the representation of fictional minds to highlight unusual character thoughts. Certain states of mind—including traumatic experiences, conflicting feelings, some memories, and the simultaneous possession of multiple identities—are more difficult to represent than others, and so some authors or narrators reject conventional cognitive representations, such as naming feelings, if they seem poor tools for effectively communicating that character’s exceptional quality to the reader.

Abstract:

Scholarship has firmly established that the short story cycle is well-suited to representations of community. This study considers eight North American examples of the genre: four by Canadian authors Stephen Leacock, Duncan Campbell Scott, George Elliott, and Alice Munro; and four by American authors Sarah Orne Jewett, Sherwood Anderson, John Cheever, and Joyce Carol Oates. My original idea was to discover whether there were significant differences between the Canadian and American cycles, but ultimately I became far more interested in the way that all of the cycles address community formation

The present study examines the normative and repressive cultural discourses on beauty and femininity and their effects on women’s psyche with the help of select works of contemporary American fiction. It seeks to establish that the violence and oppression resulting from hegemonic discourses on feminine beauty attain Gothic characteristics, in that they produce horrific effects on the minds and bodies of women. In order to establish how Gothic horror is a ubiquitous presence in the lives women who are in thrall to the beauty myth, this study takes into consideration select works of fiction by c
