Marleau, Tania. "Le grotesque dans Les diaboliques de Barbey d'Aurevilly /." Thesis, McGill University, 2000. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=33301.
Full textIndeed, Wolfgang Kayser's theory of the grotesque is based on the idea of a world that has suddenly become "estranged". Barbey's "diabolical" characters are peculiar beings, both passionate and inscrutable, who by their actions and attitudes manage to overwhelm most characters of their universe. By their very mystery, the diaboliques remain deeply present in others' minds, thereby changing their existence forever. In Barbey's stories, there are no mythical beasts, no monstrous grotesque per se. However, when examined from Kayser's perspective, light is shed on the grotesque aspect of their characters.

Full textThe aim of this study of the work of barbey d'aurevilly is the art of description as it appears in his novels and short stories. The first part deals with the various types of description and establishes its vital role within the atmosphere and setting of the literary novel. Outstanding by their vividness, these descriptions rely largely on repetition both in the general framework as in the themes. Completely integrated into the narrative, the descriptions exploit certain forms used in a perfectly elaborated account and juggle with the various techniques used by the author: from the superimposition of the narrative voice which governs such and such descriptive material, to the scarcity of bald statements which by their absence are all the more significant. The fantastic which emerges from the work is born from this self-same meticulous development, so much so that the aurevillian text in fact refers to nothing save itself. By an echo system of back and forward referencing, of excess or absence, description participates fully in the narrative and is sometimes the narrative itself. We thus establish that in barbey d'aurevilly's work, detail is inherent to the structure
Taouya-Joseph, Catherine. "Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly et les arts visuels." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040073.
Full textJules Barbey d’Aurevilly and the visual arts could be a paradoxical thesis because Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly is considered as incompetent in the artistic domain. Catholic, novelist, diarist, letter writer, and controversial art critic, he is regarded as one of the most unclassifiable authors of the XIXth century. He is one of the last romantics, but also one of the precursors of symbolism. His suggestive writing stimulates the reader’s imagination. If the art critic is controversial, yet the judgment must be qualified. His profane and religious esthetic way of writing suggests a real transposition of master works of arts, rivaling painting and sculpture. Some specific colours keep recurring so that they become the object of an obvious liturgical declension. Graphically, his taste for colour is demonstrated by his manuscripts. Barbey reveals to the world a pictorial way of writing, but also his personality is a source of inspiration and representation for numerous artists. In this thesis, the reader becomes attracted by the reception of his character, a Spectacular Dandy, who becomes a work of art himself for his contemporaries: the sculptors Zacharie Astruc and Auguste Rodin made bronze busts of him. Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly inspires the whole field of the visual arts, from illustrators of his published books, up to adapters, directors, film-makers and television directors

Full textThe work that we suggest focuses on the novelistic scene as a privileged element of reading the aurevillien text. This consist in fact not only in considering the space simply as the place where action evolves and actors perform, but also includes everything that "fills" the space such as furniture, objects and even the bodies of the characters. All these elements of space are dealt with in four major chapters : space in its story catalyst function (lieu-incipit); other functions of space in the general organization of the text; the body in relation with the space it occupies and all the "under-spaces" created by the body itslf; and finaly the embedding techniques and reflections of space which are particularly obvious in les diaboliques

Full textDialogue between Barbey and Spain is like lovers’ one. Made with thousand unexpressed details, understood, it’s a sigh, a spasm, a groan of agony. Let us try to crochet the evil spell that padlock Barbey to Spain. To endure the Spanish bewitchment is to endure the assault of the bull. What about the confrontation between Barbey and the raging Vellini? The evil spell get organized around the bullfight, and the trilogy West may be perceived as a bullfighting performance. We can also determine the modalities of the aurevillian hispanism. What Barbey obtained is a vibration, an halo of the event. Is the use of the spanish language constituent, and at what degree, of an aurevillian Spain? But the main is the so-called “restance”, what does not fit in any familiar category. The paradox of the Spanish evil spell is situated in the coexistence of fascinating signs and a mechanism hallowed to overcome them. Barbey’s Spain is nowhere because we breathe it everywhere

Full textBarbey confessed that he wrote in a suffering whose origin is to be traced in his parents' unceasing mockery of his ugliness, which he heard ever since he was a child; on various occasions, too, he was led to believe that his parents would not have grieved had he been still-born. . . Influenced by his education (lysticism of beauty, theology of a god dispensing gifts, etc. ) But also revolted, he devised his own esthetics: step by step, he freed himself of the "false", cruel beauty that turns one into an object (physiognomony, dandyism as yoke, mask as prison, superficial fastidiousness, androgyny as revotl), thanks to various arguments (sign or cause of misfortune, stupidity, or a perfection liable to be cold, transitory, deceitful, malicious, etc. ). The ugly is built as salt of beauty, truth of human beings, criterion of intelligence and kindness, etc. Avoiding the dead-end of extremism, he veered back to his deep and natural love of beauty to proclaim it divine - religion being the supreme means of relativizing it

Full textThis thesis treats of the novels and stories of a French author, Barbey d'Aurevilly (1808-1889) from the point of view of "desire". The first chapter is devoted to the analysis of "corporality" in the works of Barbey. In the first place, we draw the "conflict of red and white colors" from the study of the signs which can be seen on the body of Barbey's heroines: flush. This analysis of the "conflict of colors" guides us to that of the function of red and white metaphors in his novels. Then we study the specific corporality in Barbey. The second chapter deals with sexuality, especially Satanism, phantasm of "sealing" of female sexual organs, negative mothers, incest, change of sexes, etc. In the third chapter, we treat the dualistic problem of the matter and form in Barbey’s novels, namely, that of the relation between fictional elements and structure of narration. From the analysis of the former we induce the fatalism, which is opposed to his Christianity, and from that of the later, the agnosticism as ideological support of his narration technique. In search of what leads him to continue writing in spite of his fatalistic and agnostic tendency, we discover in him a desire to live suspensively the intermediate conditions out of the sterile deterministic space-time

Full textThe documents of the thesis on a whole of works are including : 1) A biography Barbey d'Aurevilly, 225 p. , published 1989 by Seguier, Paris which propounds to clear away the too traditional image of the "Connetable des Lettres". The method followed in this essay is the constant way from the man to his work and from the work to the author. The main sources utilized are "The memoranda", the correspondance and the works of Barbey. 2) A communication "The culpability" in "Un prêtre marié" of Barbey d'Aurevilly at the international symposium in Rouen in april 1989, whose records are published in the book Barbey d'Aurevilly, ombre et lumière", Rouen 1990. The main fault of Sombreval, the married priest, lies in the passion he vowes to his daughter Calixte, who has taken for him the place of God. 3) A communication the treatment of the women's portrait in a short story and in a novel at the symposium of Poitiers (april 1991). This comparison brings out the emblematic character of the portraits in the first kind of work relatively to the possibilities of progressive modulations in the second one. 4) A typed study : the women's portraits in "Les diaboliques" of Barbey d'Aurevilly. In order to paint these passionate women, Barbey has created an original art of portrait, using a specifically rhetoric with an approach angle different for each figure

Full textDoes the character of the priest in Barbey's fiction, through its many actorial appearances, constitute a paradigm concealing a "mother figure" ? Greimas's agential grid based on Propp's works seems most appropriate to help us clear up this issue since it relies on the assumption that beyond the variety of actors there is a finite number of actants. .

Full textThe function of narration's agents is to valorize the aurevillian narrative opposing it to the ordinary reality by its unusual - consequently legendary - aspect and thus to take the listener-reader's attention. The combination of landscape and writing takes part in legendary discourse's elaboration for normandie plunges us into a civil and historical discorder. Then geographical space becomes a historical space. Wounds are still bleeding ; therefore writing must immortalize the end of a hole social class. The legends' creator stops the course of time and makes this epoch eternal. The legend has to place human soul (or what barbey calls human nature) in its fall universe and let it move itself, painting it with the strength of an ego conscious of his superiority. In this world which ignores the happy medium, legendary characters drive us with them in their militant and irreversible action. Their relentlessness against fatality seduces us by its esthetic beauty and plunges us with them in a world up to then buried - and forgotten - in human memory. Legendary writing, a writing of every defiance, is a revolt against forgetting, time and the iniquity of history. It braves men and their laws so as to equal god and finally braves him too. Litterature may have access to the grade of legend only thanks to the distinction which can be obtained by the strength of style and the originality of subjects
Hoarau, Carole Évelyne. "Enjeux et limites de l'intime dans les "Memoranda" de Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly." Bordeaux 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009BOR30053.
Full textThis thesis proposes to study Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's Memoranda, according to both singular and plural definition of diaries, and around the complex notion of intimate. Situate them in a socio-historico-ideological context in time and in the author's private life is the first step to increasingly come into the intimacy of the Barbeyen text (Part I). Besides, the practice of Barbeyen diary is defined in its specificity thanks to an analysis placed under temporality and through a particular writing process meant for the extime. In this way, rises the question of the real proportion of intimacy in the daily writing (Part II). Nevertheless, the approach of intimate paradoxically happens again through the inside/outside interaction, through the intimate text intended for someone else and through the publication, involving a questioning and a redefinition of the diary (Part III). The numerous wonderings and ambiguities that the Barbey's diarist practice involves, drive in a last part to the expression of the author's sensibility that reflects all the intimate and poetic dimension of the Memoranda (Part IV). This study focuses on the stakes of diarist practice, that determinate the intimate in Barbeyen diaries. The link between the different ways of writing such as structural, thematic and poetic permitted the wideness of the intimacy approach in the Memoranda

Full textSpeech is in the centre of Barbey d’Aurevilly’s fiction: omnipresent, it strongly shapes altogether its aesthetics, poetics and imaginary world. In his fiction works, the gist is conveyed through speech. Evidence of this is to be found in the style, as well as in the narratives which find in oral communication both their triggering device and the unconscious basis that endows them with meaning and significance. But there is more to it : a singular ontology becomes apparent, in which the characters’ identities are formed from their relationship with speech, their voices and language. The density of narratives increases even more when, from confidences to chats, the success of verbal exchanges depends less on what is to be expected from them than to relational and unconscious stakes that they bring to light. It is the same when dialogue fails : deafness, madness, silence, death represent failures on the surface only, for they prove to be the efficient conveyor of a whole underlying libidinal economy. The fantasising speeches are also subjected to a reversal of perspective that elucidates their hidden motives, lies are shown to be desirable, rumours harmless. As for violence, fantasy and fate which inspire Barbey’s world, the analysis of their manifestation shows that they are, equally, inseparable from the strength of the words. Aurevilly’s speech is actually defined by a characteristic that subsumes all the others : no one can elude it – not even the reader – everyone is caught in its grip. This is because in the fiction of the author of the Diaboliques, speaking or silence, as well as listening, are unfailingly bound with what he knows how to depict so shrewdly and often scandalously : desire

Full textBeyond the paradox that there could be in analysing the aesthetic categories of prose and poetry of an author whose work is mainly novels as well as critical analysis, and whose poems, rare and confidential, remain fairly unknown, this study intends to look at the meaning of the original poetic failure by which Barbey entered into literature. His work, indeed, stems from his inaugural resignation. Neither magician nor prophet like his contemporaries of the first romantic generation, the novelist seems to wear the grief of the messianic poet that he is not, despite his fierce catholicism. His novels can be read as a prosaic and profane rewriting, grieving pastiche or irreligious parody, of the great dream of a metaphysical epic which animated the poets of the first half of the century, a tomb of poet and poetry. As such, they are intertwined with the genre of the prose poem of which the author of Rhythmes oubliés was one of the disenchanted precursors
Noir, Pascal. "Mythographie et thanatographie dans l'œuvre romanesque de Jules Barbey d'Aurévilly." Nancy 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997NAN21001.
Full textDeath is inexpressible and however it is spoken. In Barbey's work, it is even a mundane topic what the narration relates is the process of dying and after death. Barbey tells death by means of another kind of representation: the personal or intratextual myth. Recurrences, opposites, branching, etc. , which according to his own logic of different narrative possibilities, make up Barbey's myth: his way of expressing death. Some structures of the narrative, some haunting figures of speech and personal creations occur regularly in his work where he tortures history and time so as to make them mythical and lethal (for instance : the myth of decapitation where the narration is told as a beheading). Although there are structuralistic processes denying time (the enclosed narration is then denied by the enclosing narration). An "end of race" myth appears: the text becomes a memorial and sometimes it is even reported by dead characters. . . The expression of death belongs to a macabre esthetics (illness, physiological descriptions) built on decomposition during life itself. But what is macabre is not realistic. Death gives beauty because it is attractive and sexuality is then linked to death. This mythology of sexes is based on transgressions always aiming at killing. The triangular human relationships thus created are doomed to fail and so a myth appears: the "dream of extermination". Reversibility is a productive structural myth in the death narrative: Barbey reverses structures, inverts the outline of his fictions and builds his own mythical structures and lethal speeches, especially about the sacred. Death is put into words through the spreading out of matrixes, through the writing of the intratextual lethal myth itself. The chain of images, of thoughts, systems and metaformes deriving from themselves and repeated from one text to another only have to be extended or reversed so that the reader notices that Barbey talks about death, thanks to the composition and reconstruction of his own myths

Full textThe heir of a generation that witnessed the french revolution, barbey d'aurevilly, as a young man, makes an effort to adapt to the times, to be able to play a role. He is relatively enthusiastic in february 1848, but his brief political career only lasts one month. He thereafter puts all his energy into his writing and dreams history in his works of fiction, where it is possible to find a picture of the french revolution (as seen from the chouan or anti-revolutionary side). Barbey draws this picture from his family heritage and the oral tradition he remembers from his childhood. By means of a crossreference structural system used in his different novels, barbey re-creates for the reader his own personal experience of a special and unique relationship with history. In this scheme, the novel entitled "l'ensorcelee" occupies a special because it is the only book by barbey in which the internal structure is organized around history, taking the french revolution as its time-setting. In this fashion, the novel takes on a mythical dimension, and using other documents, the author sketches the evolution of the french peasantry in the first half of the 19th century. Comparison with the chouan novels of balzac and hugo allows us to better indicate the originality of barbey and to understand that his work is not a nostalgic song of the past, but is definitely involved in the struggles of the nineteenth century. The revolution of 1830 and specially that of 1848 and the commune of 1871 were particularly responsible for this pictorial writing of the great revolution of 1789

Full textAcoording to the author himself, the prose works of barbey d'aurevilly are anchored in a form of writing whose hidden mechanisms, working in indirect and multivocal ways, both veil and uncover shimmering levels of meaning which do not lend themselves readily to definitive circumscription. . The importance of a mythological code which is syncretic in nature, situated at the heart of this ambiguous language with its interconnected signs, and referring back to both ancient and biblical traditions, is manifest. The aim of this works is to study the pertinence of this code : diffused in the text, does it answer to clear principles of organisation? does it reflect archetypal, and therefore pre-existent, generalised structures? finally, does this code acquire specific characteristics in the course of its reworking by the writer, and is it modelled on the ever-changing demands of collective and individual history? this work sets out to examine how this singular language works within the prose text, and how, conversely, it makes the latter function - that is, how it reveals the elements in which the narrative is grounded as well as the finality towards which the text is bent

Full textThrough roles, actantial positions and portraits, the text of the correspondence and the memoranda. Constructs the figure of an autobiographical hero. Hence the portraits and accounts which are part of the schema of self-representation: roles and characters are part of the building up of the self-portrait just as part of the autobiographical narration. The notion of literary genre can also be a starting-point for studying the autobiographical text. Hence the importance of the metalanguage, which describes a piece of autobiographical writing specifically and at the same time builds it up as a genre from within, in the same way that narrative metalanguage is a part of romanesque construction. The text is also recognisable by its unusual use of rhetorical features: one can identify discursive patterns and recurrent themes. This rhetoric, moreover, is distinguished by the fact that it provides support for the letter and the journal and thus brings about a textualisation of the non-text. The subject of the autobiographical text should be considered primarily as the giver of the autobiographical text: writing is part of the contract of selfrepresentation. The subject is also the narrator of the autobiography, the person who orchestrates everything right down to the reading of the letter, and who determines the conditions in which the text will be received and the person who will receive it. Finally, the subject is the signatory. As such, he is a subject on stage in competition with the autobiographical hero in the literary representation and in the substitution or assimilation to personal identity of the writer's style

We defined it as a production caught within a system like the aurevillian story-builds its space, sometimes using"real" places or laces with a high referentia value, yet, giving inside meanings. So space signs are a language we have to take in and interpret. In this way, we were interested by the picture of aurevillian romantic space. Then, we considerate the semantic of space; our objective is to show that space appears as an important parameter in the story, at the same level as the character, time or history. At the least, we say that spacesigns of the aurevillian story have their own symbolic value. They contribute to emphasize the specificity of the aurevillian writing

Full textJules Barbey d'Aurevilly's works leave the same feeling, that of a type of writing which, in various forms, refuses to provide the key to unlock its meaning. In his eyes, the 19th century is a time of ideological aberrations in which republican ideals flourish. Stemming from the Revolution which questioned the notion of the sacred, the contemporary world seems to him a period dragging all the foundations of its meaning. The century oscillates between straying and vacuity. Those two interpretations of History give fictional writing two major configurations. The first one is the reversal of the reader's expectations, created by the text but always disappointed; the second one is the highlighting of an absence. Both can be found at the level of the insertion of moral values in the stories. Then, the generic identities, the narrative structures, and the descriptions are unbuilt by the text. Finally, at the heart of syntax and stylistic devices, the games of deconstruction and evading return to the very source of the novelistic production so that, in an irrevocable way, the writing becomes illusion

Full textVerisimilitude is rarely used in english nineteenth century criticism and belongs essentially to the vocabulary of french academics. However probability, plausibility and possibility are constantly referred to in narrative fiction, though facts play a greater part in the process of illusion-making. Walter scott proves the difficulty of combining reality and fancy and fancy and makes romance serve his political or moral views. Barbey d'aurevilly opposing the naturalist and realist movements also promotes the story-teller as a fragile warrant, instead of the omniscient, unobstrusive and objective narrator. Thus, truth is but a subjective construct made of legends and hearsay. The reader is an important character in the stories of both and influences the form and order of the narrative. For scott, the plot is a winding journey exhibiting numerous descriptions and digressions. Likewise barbey's narrators err before coming to the point. Still both value coherence. But it cannot only be attained by weaving motives and circumstances together by recapitulations or dialogues. Contrasts, analogies and tragi-comedy draw patterns and reveal the prerequisites by which the work is to be judged. Hence, the plot seems necessary and surprising at the same time. The reader is requested to sympathise with the characters and recognize the story as an elaborate combination of details
Trévise, Carole. "De l'anthropologie à la littérature : le schème sacrificiel dans l'œuvre romanesque de Balzac et Barbey d'Aurevilly." Thesis, Paris 4, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA040084.
Full textThis dissertation examines the deployment of the sacrificial motif in the novels of Balzac and Barbey d'Aurevilly through the lens of anthropological discourse. The purpose of this study is to delineate the sacrificial framework that emerges in fiction at the same time that French society moves away from the religious legacy of pre-revolutionary France. The intellectual and legal validation of this onward-looking secularization triggers a return of a religious sentiment and behavior, deprived of a Supreme Being, and looking henceforth to reinvest other (secular) objects of worship. Literature, as is often the case, is the first to tackle this phenomenon. The sacrificial motif, which is therein represented, whether literally or symbolically, reveals the survival of a religious sentiment that is called upon once again to resolve political or economic conflicts. The aim of this work, therefore, is to show the many functions of the sacrificial motif in literature, functions which, due to the century’s distanciation from religion, have been confined by the social sciences to an academic blind spot

Full textPrior to barbey d'aurevilly (1808-1889), dandyism was seen merely as a manifestation of a generalized anglomania, either ridiculed or treated with irony even by its spokesman (balzac) and those who best represented it (byron). Du dandysme et de beorge brummell (1845) marks barbey as the first writer to have consecrated a complete work to this phenomenon and to have laid bare its depth. But dandyism was not for barbey only the object of a theory ; it was also an aesthetic experience whose psychological and ideological foundations reveal numerous contradictions. The main examples of these contradictions are listed here. This great admirer of the indifference, impassiveness and british sobriety of the "great brummell" was also a man of passion whose baroque excesses bring a smile to one's lips. This lavish dandy who broke with his family for twenty years was also a man of tradition, rooted in his native normandy. Lastly, frivolous on principle, this man of the world who wasted his time in fruitless undertakings and dazzling conversations was also a demanding and solitary writer who had faith in his work and aspired to glory

Full textThe horse has always been a privileged character in mythology, sculpture, painting and literature in normandy more than anywhere else probably, because the animal is deeply anchored to the soil of the region. "great normans", noblemen and novelists firmly linked to the soil, barbey d'aurevilly and la varende were bound to make the horse an outstanding character in their works. As a matter of fact, the horse is omnipresent, first as an ornament, then as a romantic element, both in description and action making one with the horseman, being part of his dreams, of his body, of his mind. . . Like the centaurs of the mythology, the noblemen depicted by barbey d'aurevilly and la varende cannot be dissociated from their steeds : they derive their meaning from the horse, all the more as nothing else is left to show their singularity in a time which is no longer theirs, but belongs to democracy, science and technical progress. Isolated but interdependent, taking refuge in a sort of equestrian dandyism derived from brummell, the man and the horse support each other, but remain virtually doomed, desperatly complementary and consubstantial, identifying themselves with the end of a caste

Full textIn the 19th century, two opposite yet complementary toponyms, the castle and the cottage, represented in the novelistic space a double polarity that is rich in its social, historical, symbolic and poetic implications. The works of Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly and Joris-Karl Huysmans privileged, each in its own turn, this spacial apparatus, in relation to the reflection on the century and the imaginary world. The approach that we have chosen lays emphasis on the « sociopoetic » dimension, by being specifically interested in the writing of social representations and interactions. This writing does not exclude the imaginary. On the contrary, it takes part in it to a high extent. We propose four forms of exploration of this complex representation : the phenomenological study of the spacial and architectural apparatus of the castle and the cottage makesit possible to detect at the same time the archytypal character and the specificity of these novelistic places. The sociological and diegetical dimensions of these places anchors reflection once again in its historical and social context, on the one hand, and allow us to measure their narratorial and dramatic function in the novelistic construction, on the other. Finally, there is the aestheticisation of writing via the castle and the cottage in a poetic and symbolic study

Full textJules Barbey d’Aurevilly left a polymorphous work. In that respect, the years 1851-1865 were exemplary. Every week he wrote an article for Le Pays and sent a letter to his friend Trebutien. No other period saw so many Aurevillien tales published : the first short story of Les Diaboliques, Le Dessous de cartes d’une partie de whist, and novels : Une vieille maîtresse, L’Ensorcelée, Le Chevalier des Touches et Un prêtre marié. Though he had to deal with those pieces of writing at the same time, Barbey seemed to dissociate them. Critical writing, submitted to editorial conditions of newspapers resulted from emergency, censorship and “Necessity”. On the other hand, the letters gave him a chance to “roar”: they opened parentheses amongst the pressing “din” of the newspapers and the “furnace” of novel writing. The latter – through the power of Imagination – appeared nonetheless as the privileged place for authentic personal expression. However, can we grant a function to a letter, an article or a novel in such a categorical manner? Of course, letters offered Barbey space for spontaneity into which he entered hurriedly. They also gave food for thought on writing itself, and were used as a pattern for novel and critical writing. In the same way, critical writing improved fiction and refined esthetic choices. This polymorphism did not limit genres to a particular function or aesthetic choice but designed a global coherence in which each piece of writing influenced another to try and reach ‘the eloquence of the heart’. Indeed that was the ideal writing Barbey d’Aurevilly pursued from 1851 to 1865 and which created the aesthetic qualities of his prose

Full textThe polemical impulse commanding both the works of Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly (1808-1889) and Leon Bloy (1846-1917) brings together the two journalist and writers who met and became friends in Paris in 1867. Entering to the cultural scene through literary criticism and journalistic chronicling, they never parted from a certain verbal violence in having to translate a paradoxical relation to the world, between an irresistible attraction for the spotlights of the emerging society of the spectacle and a voluntary withdrawal in an innermost world where an extravagant Catholicism prevails. Studying their works in the light of its polemical dimension makes it possible to consider their writings at the crossroads of the analysis of discourse, literary history and history of communication. Polemical writing, indeed, constitutes a sort of symbolic killing of the interlocutor and raises the question of the relation between literature and action. This modality of expression envisages writing as an active and effective gesture as well as overturns the functions traditionally attributed to language. Fully aware their voices can only convey and seduce through esthetical delight, Barbey d’Aurevilly and Bloy upset the modalities of polemical exchange and raise it to the rank of an art and a morality dictated by apologetic and sacred objectives

Full textOur thesis intends to explore, through an extensive study, Barbey d’Aurevilly’s problematic and paradoxical ways of relationship to aristocracy, setting the hypothesis that this identity conscience lies at the basis of his conception and his experience of writing. After having grasped the idea that the author has developed about aristocratic identity, following evolutive dynamics, and having precisely described what constitutes for him the features of the ideal aristocrat, we mean to question more particularly the way he tries to assert this identity in his style of life and writings. How is it possible to conciliate this identity with one’s status of writer ? Attached to an aristocratic posture, dating back to the Ancient Regime, which privileges the amateurism tradition and aesthetics of negligence, Barbey d’Aurevilly legitimates nevertheless his writing art, paradoxically, by the display of aristocratic ethé, different according to the various genres involved. These ethé justify his discourses ; meanwhile their fundamentally ambivalent nature sets the writer free of his personal contradictions and enables him to invoke these prestigious models. Finally, we explore more largely the way such an aristocratic posture influences his conception of writing and literature, through a poetical and stylistic study

Full textThis thesis aims to study how, in a post-revolutionary context of dechristianization, some Catholic writers set free from the Church authority and enable literature itself (as a work of fiction and imagination) to renew the apologetic discourse. Barbey d’Aurevilly, Bloy and Bernanos continue the founding shift in perspective that Chateaubriand started with the Génie du christianisme. These three writers use an ancient rhetoric narrative form called the exemplum. The first part of this work focuses on the evolutions of this form, and more specifically on the metamorphosis caused by its Christianization; but it also highlights its constant structure, from its theorization by Aristotle, until its latest use by the authors of “histoires tragiques”. The next three parts of the thesis deal with the way Barbey, Bloy and Bernanos conceive their narrative in order to obtain the religious conversion of their reader. The second part shows how the writers authenticate fiction; the third part focuses on the way they react to the difficulty of naming the divine: the authors resort to the figuration of this inexpressible object. Finally, the fourth part studies the means these narratives use to produce an effect on their readers, and make them actually change their moral behavior

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

Full textDandyism, such as it developed in france in the 1820's and especially after 1830, appears to be a phenomenon linked to the disappearance of the old aristocratic values and to the rise of the bourgeoisie. The dandy abides by strict rules that command his behaviour and his attire. In the salons where he is sought for his gracefulness while feared for his impertinence, in the circles or cafes of the boulevard, he fosters a cult of difference, a cult of strength and a cult of form, making him the impassive and ironic priest of a religion of beauty. Literature could not remain indifferent to such a cultural phenomenon that affected young people as much in the bourgeoisie as in the aristocracy. Balzac is the novelist who gave the most varied representation of social dandyism. Both fascinated and irritated by these sparkling figures, he understood better than anyone else that dandyism was the royal road taken by an idle youth kept away from power and forced to consume its energy in appearances in order to exist. Around 1830, some other writers, often marginal, turned dandyism into a way of writing, governed by playfulness, off-handedness, irony and derision. Establishing with their works and their readers the same type of relationship as the dandy maintains with his body and his audience, they partially borrowed from traditional parody the figures on which their poetics are based. This practice, long misunderstood, heralds modern works which have used protest as a creative principle. . .

Full textThe figure of the Machiavellian couple, which appears in Shakespeare, Laclos, Barbey d’Aurevilly, Henry James, James M. Cain, among others, is studied through a three-fold approach. The first one is a structural one and aims at identifying the basic elements of the figure and its scenario. This approach confirms the existence of two matrix, one based on the couple of Macbeth and the other on the pair of libertines of Laclos’ novel Les Liaisons dangereuses. The second approach is interpretative and underlines the biblical basis of the figure of the Machiavellian couple in its Shakespearean version, which is a rewriting of the Fall of Adam and Eve while the couple of Laclos signals the deterioration of romantic relationships in a courtly meaning. The third approach deals with aesthetics and aims at studying the forms and poetics of the figure and its effect on the reader as well as its added value in relation to the “Canon figure” of the Villain. This third approach deals also with the aesthetics of Evil linked to the figure of the Machiavellian couple
