Schultze, Marie-Laure. "Une lecture d'un genre, l'heroïc fantasy : Royaume-Uni, Etats-Unis, 1932-1982." Bordeaux 3, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997BOR30067.
Full textConsidering heroic fantasy as a genre, how can it be defined? medieval romances, epics and fairy tales are among its ancestors. Its heroes are either tragic sadists or comic masochists. Read by teenagers and young adults, heroic fantasy may help them to become more mature; consequently, the stories that it tells can be compared to initiatory rites
Birgy, Philippe. "Les modernistes anglais : du texte litteraire au fait de societe. les mecanismes sacrificiels et les desirs mimetiques dans la societe de l'entre-deux-guerres et leur expression dans la litterature de l'epoque." Toulouse 2, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995TOU20072.
Full textEven more than the turn of the century, the inter-war period has been perceived as a difficult transition from an old world to a new order, when most convictions came under attack of an ambient skepticism. The type of litterature that has been termed "modernist", owing to its often arresting originalty, helps us to account for certain characteristics of the english society over the period. There, we can find the expressions of mimetic conducts (fastly developing at that time), as well as a resistance to their corruptive effects (in the form of a desire to come back to a traditional and strongly hierarchized order partly founded on sacrificial rituals). The study is informed by rene girard's theses. The list of works under study includes thomas sterne eliot ("the waste land", "four quartets", the family reunion), aldous huxley ("the defeat of youth", eyeless in gaza, those barren leaves), james joyce ("couterparts", ulysses), david herbert lawrence (mr noon, lady chatterley, women in love, "the ladybird", the plumed serpent), katherine mansfield ("the garden party" and other short stories), ezra pound (the cantos and some of his early poetry), virginia woolf (orlando a biography, the waves), and william butler yeats
Sayer, Frédéric. "Le mythe des villes maudites dans les littératures française, anglaise et américaine du vingtième siècle : une esthétique de l’entropie urbaine." Paris 4, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040240.
Full textThe biblical curse of the city tends to devastate History, turning human culture into a waste land (Henochia, the Tower of Babel, Sodom and Gomorrah, Babylon) in order to settle instead the first ever divine city, that is to say the utopian New Jerusalem of the Apocalypse. At the beginning of the 20th century, rewriting the Bible has become ironic and even self-destructive. The inner fortress of the creative mind does not hold any more and loses itself into the modernistic fragments of the city, in other words the ruins of destroyed Europe. The prophetic word declines, even though it has been reactivated on a political level by dystopian literatures, speculative fiction and crime novel. After 1945, the urban curse has mutated into evil energy, following the laws of entropy. A new kind of apocalypse turns the text of the cityu into mere simulacra, in other words the new idols of mass culture. That’s why entropic metaphors and postmodern aesthetics do shape American urban fiction and also the french nouveau roman. The myth of cursed cities dominates the end of the century in a cannibalistic way, thus becoming the myth of the disappearance of the sacred, raising a wall of silence in the city’s rumble, penetrating the smooth surface of minimalist novels. Literature then performs an act of memorial resistance, even when it follows an asymptotic line to the “hard white empty core of the world. ”

Full textMok, Nelly. "L'écriture de la marge dans le récit autobiographique sino-américain féminin au XXème siècle." Bordeaux 3, 2011. https://hal.science/tel-04218363v1.
Full textFive autobiographies/autobiographical novels, written and published by Chinese American women writers in the twentieth century, provide the basis for an exploration of the ways in which marginality has been dealt with in Chinese (/Asian) American literature as a sociopolitical, cultural, ontological and artistic condition and experience. Through their relationships with the dominant political and literary discourse on American identity, these narratives mirror the course of Asian American literature, from the emergence of the first publications in English by writers of Chinese ancestry at the end of the nineteenth century to the current phase of this form of literary expression, originating in the 1970s and developing through the 1990s towards the modern day as American society acquired a multi-ethnic consciousness. Confronted with the “centralizing” dominant injunction of assimilation imposed on minorities, these women writers, whose lives, memories and experience bear the imprint of two territories and two cultures, question the sense of belonging, locating it either in geographical fixity or mobility, and associating it with the question of putting down roots, while still acknowledging its ability to re-emerge and thrive beyond the boundaries of national delineation. Within this perspective, borders – defined by ethnicity, culture, geographical location, nationality, gender and genre – are seen as boundaries imposing categories, which are in turn either reinforced or invalidated in the texts explored here. The women writers use their works as a space in which to express their approval or contestation of the narrative and aesthetic frames into which ethnic literature has been confined by the Euro-American readership, frames which characterize ethnic (immigrant) autobiography, and of the conditions determining the integration of their works into the American literary canon
Conneely-Allain, Bláithín. "Insularité et décolonisation : une étude de la littérature de Liam O'Flaherty." Rennes 2, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002REN20036.
Full textThe literature of Liam O'Flaherty demonstrates the fine relationship that exists between insularity and decolonisation. Born into an insular and peripheral universe (The Aran islands), his work reveals the complexities of a minority culture. The process of decolonisation is "doubled" on account of the geographical dimension : Ireland is an island situated close to a larger colonising island (England). Furthermore, island cultures, aware of their marginality and fragility, tend to invent identities and subsequently share many features of a post-colonial society. However, the process of decolonisation is more lengthy and violent. We study the neglected aspects of O'Flaherty's work : his short stories in gaelic and their modernist dimension. With their basis in realism they expose historical truths, taboo subjects and the hidden aspects f Irish society. The collection Dúil functions as a master narrative for his subsequent writings in english. It describes life in the Aran community at the beginning of the twentieth century. O'Flaherty's english language writing is equally experimental. He uses popular forms of the novel such as the "thriller" to expose the criminal forces that govern post-colonial Ireland. Historical issues such as famine, war and oppression are also evoked. O'Flaherty's work ultimately calls into question the status of a decolonising literature within the central literary canon. Hence the problem of the classification of his work as major or minor literature
Ganteau, Jean-Michel. "David Lodge, romancier catholique." Montpellier 3, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995MON30016.
Full textThe evolution of david lodge's oeuvre seems to correspond strictly to the three phases of the modern catholic novel as defined by the american critic gene kellogg in the vital tradition : the catholic novel in a period of convergence (chicago : loyola university press. 1970). After a first traditional phase as a "separatist" novelist writing for the exaltation of his religion and community, lodge moves towards an "assimilative" attitude and rebels against the religious and communal values which he had hitherto scrupulously respected, before entering a third "interpenetrative" phase which heralds a return towards the same values according to the rules of an aesthetics of indirection. This work is fundamentally based on a thematic analysis and relies on the study of the motifs and topoi characteristic of the catholic novel as a genre. This approach helps establish lodge's hesitation between scrupulous respect of and variations from the generic decorum of the catholic novel. Moreover, alongside a represented attitude of respect and transgression (as is obvious in his treatment of the theme of sexual morality, for instance), lodge offers a representing treatment of the same notions by resorting to decrowning, parodic and comic antitheses, reflexivity, or even comedy. His chronicle of the evolution of a religious community thus associates realism and experiment, and presents the reader with a redefinition of the postmodern catholic novel
Pelletier, Martine. "Histoires et histoire dans l'oeuvre dramatique de Brian Friel." Rennes 2, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994REN20004.
Full textThis research examines the works of Brian Friel (1929-), the contemporary northern-Irish playwright who co-founded field day, the famous Derry-based theatre company which announced in 1993 that it was putting an end to its activities. Our main object has been the study of the tension between story and history, between storytelling and history-writing. The dramatist is fascinated by the ways in which the past can be manipulated and he observes with lucidity but not without compassion the erratic workings of memory and the creation of myths that operate as consoling fictions but also generate fixity and division. Myth, fiction, lies and fabulation are some of the key words in our analysis of Friel's drama. Though he never stopped focusing on the private world of the family, Friel has gradually succeeded in integrating a more political and historical reflection, largely inspired by the tragic resurgence of violence in Ulster after 1968. Without ever discarding completely the conventions of the so-called realist theatre, but he has sought varied and often innovative dramatic forms that have enabled him to show on the stage the crucial role of language in any representation of the past, whether it be filtered by an individual conscience or by the collective memory of the nation. Our study of the links between Friel and field day will, we hope, shed some light on how the playwright operated within a company that had as its avowed aim, the exploration of the often controversial and complex interaction between politics history and literature in Ireland
Morère-Labay, Julie. "Civilisation et barbarie dans l'œuvre d'Evelyn Waugh (1945-1966)." Montpellier 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007MON30039.
Full textAfter the youthful excesses illustrated in the novels of the first period, from 1945 to 1966, Evelyn Waugh’s works continue to condemn the spiritual vacuum that is at the core of the modern world, insisting more and more on the necessity to take up arms against it. The power of the British novelist’s writing comes from his form, his style, and the variety of topics discussed, all revolving around a central concept – the conflict that opposes civilization and barbarism. These notions entertain a chiasmic relationship, in between a civilized barbarism and a barbaric civilization. The diaries, correspondence, articles, essays, reviews and fictional works denounce the ethical and aesthetic contradictions of the modern world, positioning the author contra mundum. Waugh’s writing mirrors the many masks he adopts, a critique and an aesthete in turn, a determined and stubborn war correspondent, a political thinker, a bold observer of the customs of his country and of others, a pious catholic and a ferociously religious writer. What is ultimately at stake for him is the defence of the English language and its literary tradition, while at the same time embodying the spirit of an era that he observed and criticized, constantly measuring its flaws against the values of a bygone age that he deemed superior to the world he lived in
Guilhamon, Lise. "Poétiques de la langue autre dans le roman indien d'expression anglaise." Rennes 2, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007REN20040.
Full textIndian English novelists frequently call attention, within their fiction, to the relation of otherness that links them to the language of their creative work. These authors write in a language inherited from the colonial process, and with a heterogeneous audience in view, whose references are further complicated by the contemporary phenomena of diaspora, migration and globalisation. This is why these novelists place at the heart of their literary creation the deeply intertwined questions of the Other's tongue, and of the other tongue. The question of the « other tongue » in the Indian English novel has given rise to several critical studies, but it has practically never been examined from the point of view of its poetic specificity: this is precisely what this work sets out to do. Indian English fiction examines the modalities of literary creation: in particular, it investigates the way in which literature invents language, and it explores the idea of literature as alterity at work within language

Full textMouchel-Vallon, Alain. "La ré-écriture de l'histoire dans les romans de Dermot Bolger, Roddy Doyle et Patrick McCabe." Reims, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005REIML005.
Full textThe pastoral pervades irish literature, and so does most literature “about” Ireland. Taking this observation as a starting point our study, we have tried to assess how much this important theme could still influence the new irish writers and in particular three of them : Roddy Doyle, Dermot Bolger AND Patrick McCabe. The opposition between tradition and modernity is at the core of the pastoral ’s reasoning and forms the tension that feeds this reasoning. But in the writing of our three irish writers, tradition and modernity keep reminiding readers that their ambiguous relathinship also gives its ideological motivation to the writing of the island's history. Owing to this permanent dialogue between writing and pastoral, the new generation of irish writers tends to illustrate a typically irish debate in which nationalism and revisionism, the writing and re-writing of history, form key themes. So much so that literature and politics keep interwining in their novels while myth and reality get mixed up in the minds of their characters, thus affecting their own sense of identity. Conditionned by this literary and ideological framework which they themselves contribute to perpetuate, Doyle, Bolger and McCabe tend, however, to differ frome each other in such a way that their writings reflect the complexity of an irish cultural geography where revisionist nationalism and nationalist revisionsim unsurprisingly stand side by side. Considering that the writing of history or that of a simple story first supposes a principle of re-writing, these novelists bring text and context in tight connection in their own writing and depict an ireland that goes far beyond preconceived definitions
Reynier, Christine. "La technique romanesque de Virginia Woolf : aspects de la mise en relation." Paris 7, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988PA070107.
Full textAs english critics have dealt mainly with, on the one hand, Virginia Woolf's biography and on the other, the themes of her fictional works, we have felt that it was necessary to study her novel-writing technique so as to elucidate some up-till-now neglected aspects of the works and understand the author's artistic processes better. Indeed, even if Virginia Woolf's style has been praised for its flowing limpidity, even if her fictional works seem to unfold as easily and naturally as the waves they so often refer to, we believe that beneath this apparent fluidity there is a very strong, disciplined structure as well as a specific narrative technique, and that both contribute to the working out of the themes themselves and give them their full significance. Therefore, the first part of our study will be devoted to the detailed analysis of the structures of the narrative discourse, and the second part, to the narrative technique itself. As our aim is to reveal the relationship existing between this specific technique and the themes the author develops, we shall analyse in our third part "the structures of the works, their narrative technique and symbolism", that is the relationships that exist between the symbols used by the author and her technique, and at the same time the symbolism of the structures and also of the technique itself. In our fourth part, we proceed in a similar way but the object of our analysis is the study of the relationship between the use of tense (analysed in our first part) and the author's conception of time. .

Full textThe point of this thesis is to show the importance of this double myth – mainly in its Ovidian version – in the poems of William Wordsworth. The two figures are implicitly present in the many scenes of self-contemplation and of echoes. Wordsworth also wishes his verse to repeat Nature’s voice, like an echo. He is equally famous for the poetic crisis that affected him after his Great Decade, and he admires himself in his verse through a series of doubles, many of which are characterized by a loss which reads as an allegory of his own. Eventually, Wordsworth aims at turning the reader into a reflection of himself and an echo of his voice
Liotard, Corinne. "Les romans d'Anita Desai : une mosai͏̈que à l'image du monde." Rennes 2, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001REN20044.
Full textFar from having the negative vision that many critics reproach her with, Anita Desai endows her works with a more positive philosophy than one might think at first. Although it is true that her novels are based upon a fragmented and chaotic world which alienates the individual, this thesis nevertheless sets to prove that out of chaos and the desperate quest of the characters, there always emerges a unified and quasi-divine vision of the world -a macroscopic vision which, though short-lived, enables one to have an overall view of all the fragments that make up her world and thus to be able to appreciate its beauty and raison d'être through harmonies, parallelisms, contrasts and counterpoints. The apparent chaos in Anita Desai's novels is conveyed, among other things, by devices borrowed from other literary genres -theatre and poetry especially- and by a multiplicity of languages, wether western or eastern, which led us to draw a parallel with Anita Desai herself, on account of both her western and eastern origins, and her multilingualism. In our quest for the multiform and multicoloured unity that makes up Anita Desai's world, we studied the different facets of that seemingly fragmented universe, as well as the various devices which account for the writers' philosophy, bringing to the forefront Anita Desai's use of symbolism, an essential element in her writing by which means she conveys her vision of the world

Full textEdgar Mittelholzer 1909-1965. The thesis studies both the man and his work. It comprises an analytic study of all of his 23 novels in the form of a geographical journey from guyana to the Caribbean islands to England. Of mixed blood mittelholzer pursues only his white identity. The thesis retraces his quest through his novels. The author suffering from what Franz Fanon, the French Caribbean psychiatrist calls the black man's neurosis, slowly destroys himself by stifling his black origins. His work also declines at the same rhythm and Mittelholzer commits suicide by fire in 1965

Full textFerrand, Aude. "La conscience et l'appréhension du réel dans l'œuvre de Rosamond Lehmann." Montpellier 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005MON30061.
Full textIn the fiction of Rosamond Lehmann, the main character is a woman who appears under many guises. She is in turn a little girl, a teenager or a grown woman, but always the centre of perception. The systematic use of internal focalization can be reductive but it also allows the author to explore reality in depth. The character is a pretext to throw light on how consciousness works. The heroine is the one who perceives space, time and the others. The author's literary project is thus to write the relationships between consciousness and reality and the way memory, anticipation and imagination act as prisms. A phenomenological approach, inspired by Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, can be seen behind the plot, putting the notion of "centre" to the fore as the origin of perception as well as creation. What is at stake, for the author, is to transcend the appearances and distortion caused by a subjective point of view in order to reach the dark side of the visible, i. E. The actual reality, free from all contingence. Reality is thus to be sought in interstices, margins and, even, in nothingness and death
Gaberel-Payen, Sophie. "De la page à l'écran: David Lodge romancier et adaptateur." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040103.
Full textNovelist, critic, adapter, David Lodge's talent is many-sided. This work offers to analyze the stakes of literary adaptation in Lodge's work while demonstrating that cinematic devices are already at work even in his earliest novels, especially The Picturegoers (1960. ) This study attempts to show how the resolutely postmodernist aspect of this writer (inspired by the realist tradition but favouring the notion of "experimental realism" as early as 1965) and his investigation of a writing mixing metafiction and intermediality are imparted by the choice of the film medium itself. Between novel and film writing, thus appears a new semantic space from which Lodge pursues the issues of representation, the relationships between art and reality
Annoussamy, Christophe. "Charles Dickens et le monde victorien dans l'oeuvre de Julien Green." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040149.
Full textThis work attempts to define the presence of both Charles Dickens and the Victorian world in Julien Green's works as well as pointing to its eventual manifestations, specificities, and limits. The first part shows us how the Victorian world prevails in Green's readings and how in the Journal, Dickens indeed appears as a privileged character. This analysis enables us to validate the reliability of the "comparative link" that we want to establish between the works of Green and those of Dickens. It is from such a relationship that we are able to define the elements that are similar in the two works in the second part. The female portraits found in Dickens'works are actually quite similar to those found in Green's, whose humour also evokes the grotesque and theatrical aspects of Dickens' characters, witnessing opposing tonalities found in both works. In this context, the more "serious" figures turn their gaze towards the Invisible : to go back to the words of the Bleak House foreword, the novelist insists on the "romantic side of familiar things". This longing towards the "nowhere" can be found especially in Le Visionnaire and Minuit - which will be studied in the third part - at a time when Dickens appears as the model of the "visionary" novelist. There, the teenager and the child are the actors still in search of their identities, which at the same time names them as the possessors of the gift of "vision". Eventually, considering the issue of the social world representations as well as the Victorian aspect of the Pays lointains trilogy, the fourth part of the work allows us to define the boundaries and also the posterity of the connection that we suggest exists between the two novelists

Full textAs well as crucial experiments in form and style, the works of E. M. Forster and Virginia Woolf bear the mark of a vital connection and a continuing dialogue with their Victorian forebears. Engaged in constant critical debate with one another, both writers submit the works of their predecessors to their own specific strategies of adaptation and subversion. In an attempt to come to terms with this common legacy, Forster and Woolf make frequent and disruptive pilgrimages on Victorian territory and revisit the literary haunts of renowned men of letters such as Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin and Matthew Arnold. Determined to confront the ghosts of the Muscular School, they trespass on the literary ground of Thomas Hughes and Charles Kingsley. To revise Matthew Arnold’s vision of culture, they appropriate the poetic figure of the « scholar-gipsy » and advocate the practice of truant reading, off the beaten track of the literary canon. Their meditation on textual legacy also leads them to revisit the works of nineteenth-century luminaries : the philosophical discussions of the Cambridge « illumers », the flamboyant rhetoric of Thomas Carlyle, the enlightened writings of Leslie Stephen, the imagery of light in John Tyndall’s works. During those literary pilgrimages, Forster and Woolf depart from the commemorative itineraries connected with the Brontë sisters’ novels, John Ruskin’s art criticism, and Rudyard Kipling’s historical pageants
Marín, Lacarta Maialen. "Mediación, recepción y marginalidad : las traducciones de literatura china moderna y contemporánea en España." Doctoral thesis, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/96261.
Full textThis dissertation aims to study the translations and the reception of twentieth-century Chinese literature in Spain. Two main interrelated hypotheses are presented: the marginality of Chinese modern and contemporary literature in the Spanish reception and the mediation of the Anglophone and Francophone literary systems in this reception. These hypotheses are tested through the analysis of the history of translations and a case study scrutinising the reception of Mo Yan’s (莫言) work and the indirect translation from the English into Spanish of his novel Tiantang suantai zhi ge (天堂蒜薹之歌). The marginality of this literature in the Spanish context exhibits numerous symptoms: the profusion of indirect translations, the recourse to editing, the preference for the documentary value of the novels, the emphasis on the radical otherness, etc. Moreover, indirect translation provides the main evidence of the mediation of the Anglophone and Francophone literary systems in this process. One hundred translations are presented, the examination of which enables us to study the evolution of the types of translations, the mediating languages, the channels for choosing the works to be translated, the homogenisation and temporal proximity of translations in English, French and Spanish, the typology of the translated texts, etc. Special attention has been paid to paratexts and reviews in the study of the reception of these texts. Furthermore, the dissertation examines the role played by the mediation of the Anglophone and Francophone literary systems in the incomplete assessment of this literature. The analysis of the reception of Mo Yan’s work and of the translation of one of his most prominent novels offers concrete examples that support this thesis.
Magnan-Park, Anne. "Les marges opérantes : les poèmes de Malcolm Lowry." Rennes 2, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002REN20015.
Full textWhen Earle Birney published "Selected poems of Malcolm Lowry" in 1962, both critics and scholars greeted it with reservation due to the fragmentary status of the poems. They were thus promptly set aside. However, I reassess them as coherent literary endeavors in their own right in keeping with the artist's aspiration to become a poet rather than a novelist. Since the author himself considered his poems to embody the essence of his prose, the poems then serve as both the threshold of his writing as well as his ideal mode of expression. I suggest that his poetry is not an incomplete corpus but rather a series of unexpected reflections on the workings of language. Chapter I : I analyze the critical marginalization of Lowry's poems along with Lowry's own marginalization of his poetry within his oeuvre ; Chapter II : I position his poems as marginal challenges to language that ultimately fail to tame it. This parallels Lowry's vision of the poet's battle with form as a lighthouse inviting a storm and collapsing under its violence ; Chapter III : Lowry's poetic relation to space suggests that poetry is a utopian phenomenon that positions the poem as that which should fill the margin between the real and the assertion of the real ; Chapter IV : As Orpheus, Lowry interrupts his attempt to bring the poem to the surface while running the risk of receiving the marginal status of a poet without a poem ; Chapter V : on the issues of plagiarism and lyricism, Lowry portrays the poet as forever standing in the margin of his own expression ; Chapter VI : Lowry's awareness of the impossibility of writing a poem solidifies but this does not end his pursuit of writing that poem which is ultimately unachievable
Piat, Emilie. "L’humour dans la poésie féminine britannique contemporaine (1945-2000) : stratégies et figures." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCA046.
Full textThe only consensus around the question of contemporary women poetry is that of its diversity: the themes and forms of the poems written by women are almost as varied as the origins of the poets themselves. Diversity is also one of the aspects underlined by most of the publications on the subject of humour. The term applies to so many phenomena that it is virtually impossible to reduce it to a final definition. Yet it is precisely because humour is so difficult to define that it constitutes a particularly appropriate prism to approach contemporary women poetry. Humour is by essence “transgender”. It subverts social order as well as instances of real or symbolical power, and challenges sexual and generic identities. Unsurprisingly, women poets have seen it as a choice weapon to attack received opinions and stereotypes, especially when those aim at defining femininity. Humour should therefore be considered as a form of writing, or rather a set of forms, expressing a specific positioning and operating on the level of enunciation, reception, rhetoric and prosody. This posture, which can be interpreted as irreverence, incongruity or difference, testifies of the complex ties women have established with the poetic tradition. But to do so, women have also developed strategies which enable them to explore common knowledge and accepted truths, and thus redefine the contours of contemporary poetry
Huchet, Dorothée. "La fiction de John Le Carré à l'ère du soupçon : du roman policier au roman d'espionnage." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012REN20063.
Full textMany readings of John le Carré’s spy fiction agree on its particular position within the genre. However, none link the specificity of the le carrean novels and writings, borrowing from the detective novel and the American hard-boiled novel, to the political, philosophical and epistemological context. When the first novels by John le Carré were published, in the 1960s, the world was facing great political and social upheavals. If new elements are then apparent in the spy novel, and if le Carré’s fiction is one of those which embodies these changes, traces of the epistemological break of the 1960s is clear in the author’s works: the flexibility of the moral values within the secret services, the dogmatic, and sometimes ideological, void in the professional agent, or again the reassessment of History, perceived as the result of acts of manipulation in le carrean fiction. Therefore, while his work enters the era of suspicion, as described and magnified in the covert world of John le Carré, it is a reflection of the anxieties specific to postmodernity at the end of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, on the other hand, the novels drift away from this as they do not convey an endless multiplication of meanings or a total absence of truth. The hero has the possibility of evolving and learning in his novels. From a literary standpoint, although le Carré follows the writing pattern of the spy novel, he has also partly reshaped it from the inside when he brought it towards the detective novel and the quest for truth and when he enriched it with postmodern questions. His work therefore occupies an in-between position: it has entered postmodernity without giving way to the excess of multiplicity or chaos, and it has continued to use the genre conventions to make them evolve towards a reflection on the place of the human being

The translations produced by these translators have offered opportunities of investigation within linguistic boundaries. In fact, one may wonder if the translators have transformed the meaning and the form of the Persian quatrains. If so, which procedures have they employed? More precisely, how are the underlying networks of signification rendered by the most significant English and French translators of the 19th and 20th centuries? Furthermore, what is the quality of the writing in the target language in each translation? On the whole, this thesis seeks to appreciate whether the translators have been successful in understanding the significance of the subtext and the elegance of the poetic form of the Rubáiyát.This dissertation provides its readers with a scientific application of the theoretical concepts of different theorists in translation studies, linguistics, and literature. The most salient theories employed in the present research are those of Antoine Berman, Henri Meschonnic, Peter Newmark, Eugene Albert Nida, Susan Bassnett, Mona Baker, Geoffrey N. Leech, I.A. Richards, Roger T. Bell, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, Michael Hanne, and Max Black. In addition, it must be indicated that this thesis sets out to create a balance between two poles in translation studies, i.e. target-oriented and source-oriented translations.The translation of Omar Khayyám’s Rubáiyát into Germanic and Romance languages is an interesting and controversial subject to discuss. This research seeks to prove that the study of the translations of the Rubáiyát can contribute to highlighting the difficulties and the impossibilities of the rendition of certain issues from Persian into English or French

Full textThe study of cultural hybridity in literature remained tied to a theory which defines postcolonial literatures in terms of their oppositional relationship with the West. In this thesis, we attempted to go beyond the “writing back to the center”. We have not ignored the debate over standard criticism but we have chosen to demonstrate by means of this comparative study that the African novel is part of a larger fictional universe. By appropriating the techniques of the Victorian literary tradition associated with Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad, African writers create a useful device for developing greater understanding and improved communication among people from different cultural, racial and ethnic groups. We found striking similarities between the Scottish clan and the African tribe in terms of social organisation and way of life. Like Scott and Hardy, Ngugi and Achebe draw the substance of their novels from the folklore and popular traditions of their communities. African and Victorian novelists have a clear awareness of the human predicament and show how fate can be cruel to the individual

Full textBased on the novels and novelettes by twelve authors (in alphabetical order, J. Belda, J. M. Carretero, J. Frances, A. Hernandez Cata, A. De Hoyos y Vinent, A. Insua, R. Lopez de Haro, P. Mata, A. Retana, F Sassone, F. Trigo et E. Zamacois), this study proposes to examine the birth, rise and decline of a movement in popular literature in Spain between 1894 and 1936 in relation to the new publishing deal, French literary influences and the centres of interest of the Spanish reading public of the time. The first part includes a presentation of the authors (through their biographies) and the magazines and publishing houses that brought out their writings. This panorama of Spain’s publishing world is supplemented with a survey of the circulation of these works abroad - essentially in France as well as the cinema adaptation of some of them. There follows a chapter entitled ' the book as an object ', which deals with the elements directly peripheral to the text - titles, covers, jacket flaps, back covers, illustrations, advertisement etc. Secondly, the analysis bears upon the contents of these works through a study of themes and characters, bringing to the fore the recurrent and permanent features in the writing of those pages together with their French literary inspiration. Their close links with the concerns of contemporary readers - among which the questioning about sexuality and the position of women in society hold a dominating place - is also examined

Full textThis thesis focuses on the metamorphosis of Eileen Chang’s novelette, Jinsuo ji, first published in Shanghai in 1943. In the 1960s, the author, who had been living in the United States since 1955, rewrote this work into an English-language novel, The Rouge of the North, and published almost simultaneously a Chinese version, Yuannü. Through the analysis of her translingual rewriting, an attempt will be made to explore the differences between these versions, in order to shed light on the strategies of rewriting and the evolution of Eileen Chang’s style vis-à-vis two different readerships. Moreover, in 1971, her self-translation of Jinsuo ji, The Golden Cangue, was published in the American academic circle. The study of this English version leads us to reconsider the “identity” of a literary work and the “literary status” of its translation, be it authorial or not. More precisely, the different reception of two versions of a work in Eileen Chang’s case is re-examined from a “trans-literary” perspective: in order to bring a literary work to its new public, thus revealing its plurality, it seems that an interspace between literatures remains to be constructed through translation. By tracing the trajectory of a work towards the other, our reflections will be eventually extended to a number of contemporary adaptations of Jinsuo ji and Yuannü. Since the 1980s, these two works have been adapted into film, theater, Chinese opera and TV series in the Sinophone world. These cross-field rewritings not only reveal the Sinophone public’s passion for Eileen Chang’s works, but also allow us to observe the changing image of the writer in the process of their different receptions

Full textIn the dark and comical fictional world of Henry Green, the characters are isolated, cut off from themselves and from others, locked into their own body and mind, but they nevertheless yearn to build a family and to belong to a community. As far as communities are concerned, they exist solely in the characters’ fantasms or in public discourses, but their normative power remains dangerous: groups destroy individuality and demand that members conform to collective rules and adopt the same values. They require that one participate in rituals that are, in Green’s novels, deprived of any meaning. During the Second World War, when Green writes his best novels, belonging to a national community becomes compulsory. This silences personal voices and substitutes a collective narration written by British propaganda to private experience. Entering history means that individuals should not contradict the official version and have to deny themselves: the destruction of intimacy, silence and forgetting therefore threaten Green’s characters. The conflict between a will to establish oneself as an individual and the desire to melt into masses is reflected in Green’s atypical esthetic, which feeds on literary commonplaces of the times while setting itself apart from the meanings normally attached to them. The writing is characterized by intertextuality. It is plural, idiosyncratic, as the author mingles regional accents and an archaic speech, and borrows idioms from vernacular and literary languages, divided and fragmented, when he records the effects of the war on the psyche

Full textIn this resolutely post-human era how can literature disregard the appeal of a postmodern apocalypse that has long left behind its biblical origins? We argue that not only do the novels of Martin Amis and Will Self clearly engage in a radical apocalyptic discourse with all its various forms and thematic variations - from the nuclear threat to more intimate revelations - but also designate the intricate workings of a wider apocalyptic aesthetics. This is what joins the two novels of our corpus: London Fields and How the Dead Live, with the phantasmatic death or murder of love, on one side and the "spectacularity" of death on the other. With the future consisting of the endless repetition of their “end”, the characters are as much their own avatars conditioned by the contingencies of time, urban congestion, simulacrum and death, as they are the targets of an eroded language

Full textContemporary creations that combine text and image are nowadays part of daily life. Present as much as in the artistic creation, as in the street, on the consuming products or on the clothes, these manifestations have brought up the question of the contemporary understanding of writing. At the time of its invention, the writing revealed features as graphics qualities (figurative or abstract) and a strong magical dimension that has been lost by the alphabetic writings. Taking in consideration that writing is conceived as an activity that requires time, the author Lessing established the distinction between the time art and the space art, assigning the writing to poetry and the image to painting. However, contemporary creation, both literary and plastic, rise questions concerning this delimitation. The analysis mirroring the visual poetry and the visual art shows that the delimitation of Lessing becomes obsolete. This is verifiable as well in the « minor arts», such as the mode, were the text and images becomes part of the clothes design. The contemporary creation appeals to the characteristics of the original writing, giving birth to a series of occurrences were the text and the image work together. This mutation appears to be the symptom of a change in the understanding and the use of the writing
Ventimiglia, Sarah. "Cesare Pavese entre poésie et prose : l'enjeu du rythme, entre éthique et subjectivité." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015USPCA165.
Full textIn this thesis, we offer a reinterpretation of the early literary production of Cesare Pavese, in the 1930s. We do so by placing ourselves in a critical horizon that considers the socio-cultural trajectory of the author and by studying his artistic stances, as well as the distinctive qualities of his work.Our choice consists of three works - Ciau Masino, Lavorare stanca and Il carcere - which are among the less studied, excepted for the second one, of his writings (as opposed to his later works), and allows us to move the critical interest toward the genesis of the style of Pavese. Legitimized by his translations of Anglo-American literature, Pavese possesses already, at this stage, an original and pure «melodic vocation» (Mutterle), characterized by the systematic interdependence between poetry and prose.This research aims to show that the poetic work of Pavese is in a close relationship of interaction and correspondence with his narrative prose, through the construction of a possible rhythmic invariant. Reaching beyond the sterile opposition of poetry/prose goes in favour of establishing a piece of work that would stand fully by the side of the subject who writes and the author who expresses himself, by taking in consideration the rhythm as an unifying element, structuring at the same time the textual shaping, the contents and the ethical value of that work

Full textFrancisco umbral, a colourful author, is generally little known in france. However his work deserves particular attention : it offers the reader one of the most complete depictions of spanish contemporary society, and since this body of work was largely produced under post-war dictatorship and subject to franco's censorship policies, it is the result of writing which is consciously full of images and eminently creative. His autobiographies recount the chaotic journey of a young man in search of an enviable professional status. The world of literature, however, is rather uncertain and difficult to penetrate, so the young umbral resorted to several means of escape which enabled him to momentarily forget the poverty and the difficulties and frustrations of daily life. In this way, despite the inevitable ending of the dictatorship, the young umbral described, in tones often ironic and lyrical, the world of his childhood. This observation which is both ironic and lyrical, and sometimes contradictory, presents us with an interpretation of history which is unofficial and therefore possibly more credible. Creation, untruth, ambiguity ; if these are the product of active recollection they are also the means, utilised and developed by the writer, of building a provocative style capable of evading the barrier of censorship and of enabling him to say what he otherwise would not have been able to say. His works invests the reader with a fundamental role. It is indeep up to the reader to "see" the parody and detect the innuendos. Even more than traditional novels, these works are born and acquire meaning only through the actualization of reading

Full textThe current work concerns a study of Soviet Kurdish literature from 1930 to 1990. Our objective is to bring together all the documentation regarding this new literature and to show its artistic potential as well as its vitality. To this end, we will start with a general review of the history of the Kurds in the Tsarist Russian and then the communist empire. This will be followed by a presentation of Soviet Kurdish literature and an examination of the principal works of its authors. This literature is presented and analysed in its two main periods : the 1930s and 40s, which are its formative years and the period from the 50s to 90s which covers the period of the thaw and of its artistic flowering. Each of these periods is sub-divided, thus allowing us better to analyse the process of literary works published from 1921 to the end of 90s.

Finally, an extensive bibliography covers all the Kurdish literary works published from 1921 to the end of the 90s. This literature was able to preserve and develop its oral traditions while adapting itself to the requirements of contemporary art, even when it was obliged to follow the Communist Party's line. This fusion of past and present thus give birth to a complex, original and gifted literature that absorbed the best of Armenian, Georgian and Russian literature. However, through its experience of a particular historic environment, Kurdish literature of the USSR shows its patriotism : the Kurdish people, its history, its culture and destiny make the warp and woof of its thematic background

Full textThis cross-study of John Donne's (1572-1631) poems and Sermons explores along two lines the reflexive nature characterizing these literary texts and the act of writing that produces them. First, the concept of mimetic reflexivity describes the process through which the form of these poetic and homiletic writings mirrors and duplicates their objects of discourse. Secondly, when the texts are to themselves their own mirrors and self-reflexively bring out their own poetics, the creative act that engenders them appears in turn self-defined. Both are endowed with what will be called programmatic reflexivity, namely the self-referential description of their poetic principles. The specular quality of writing, both as text and as act, is analysed in an ontological-to-phenomenological sequence in four steps: death-absence, fragmentation-continuity-proliferation, memory, margins and folds. In an attempt to trace the many intricacies and instabilities of meaning produced by the mirror effects of the texts, this study resorts in particular to concepts borrowed from deconstruction theory

Our purpose is to present a theoretical perspective based on narratology and leading onto an approach inspired by the sociocriticism which is rooted in Mikhaïl Bakhtin's works. Thus our critical study will attempt to highlight the dialectical movement of the literary discourse by focussing on the analyses of both its structure and the elements which interact with the historical background. Consequently, we have essentially pa id attention to the relationship the author has wished to establish with his own work, the stance he has chosen to adopt within the text as weil as the devices he has used to convey the prevailing views and, above ail, the prevailing ideologies of that period

Full textThe present study consists of a comparative study in North American literature in regards to the notion of l'américanité. As we re-read the classic North American novel, we trace the emergence and evolution of l'américanité in the works of authors such as Jack London, Ralph Ellison and Alain Grandbois. The novels of Scott Momaday and D'Arcy McNickle further our comprehension of l'américanité from the Native American perspective. The final chapters look at the myth of wandering in relation to exile and artistic production in the works of Germaine Guèvremont and Gabrielle Roy. Jack Kerouac, given his French Canadian heritage, serves as a constant bridge between the United States and French Canadian novel. Reader and great admirer of Thomas Wolfe, the famous beat generation writer comes to inspire Jacques Poulin with Volkswagen blues. With this thesis we aim to open up new perspectives on old debates, encourage a more balanced view of l'américanité, and challenge what we consider to be a false discourse on the notion of Americanization

Full textThis work presents a period in Thailand's history through the study of three different literary genres, poetry, song and short story. The 1970's were marked by an unusual instability and socio-political commitment. Students assembled to fight against the military government's authority, against the American presence and the Japanese economic invasion, defending manpower, peasants and factory workers. Their actions, backed up by the population, would lead to the big march of October 1973 and to the departure of the dictators. The three years period, which followed, was more democratic, though in October 1973 it would be severely interrupted by the return of the military to power. The first part of this work presents Thailand's literature from its origins to the XIII century; the second part depicts Thai society during the 1970's, from a social and historical perspective. The third and last part of this study presents extracts of poetry, songs and short stories from the 1970's. The texts are characterised by a great sincerity, revealing the society's hope for a greater justice. These works describe the people's difficult condition, they try to find and suggest solutions, calling for mobilisation and resistance. They aim to awaken the social conscience of oppressed and resigned people, resigned because of religious beliefs and because they are educated in the tradition that shows respect towards the king and the leaders. These writings, poetry, songs and short stories, which have not been enough to initiate a deep change, however, do bare passionate witness to this era

Full textThis thesis explores the tension between fiction and reasoning in the Edwardian oeuvre of writer, journalist and polemicist G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936). Within the framework of fiction theory and the history of ideas, it is hypothesized that Chesterton diverts fiction from its most frequent use as a genre (a narrative in prose aiming at entertainment) to turn it into a mode. Used as a rhetorical figure, fiction is also devised as a cognitive vehicle that pushes back the frontiers of knowledge, a way of understanding the world and a conceptual modelling tool, which does not contradict but completes his reasoning. The second hypothesis of this work rests on the defining influence of the historical background on Chesterton’s imaginative use of fiction: the Edwardian intellectual world goes through an epistemological crisis while the ever-thickening stream of popular fiction turns the era into a Golden Age of storytelling. The era thus appears as a pivotal moment. Chesterton’s formative years and early career will be studied in the literary context of the time to set the scene for his theory of fiction and for an exploration, in practice, of Chesterton’s fictional modes in his articles, essays, literary studies but also in his romances and his detective fiction, as these genres of popular literature allow him to give shape to his reasoning and appeal to a wider audience. Defining Chesterton’s unusual fictional modes will allow us to place him within the wider movement of authors trying to foster a new relationship to fiction at the dawn of the 20th century

So we have look into this subject, not without questionning us about next points : 1) what are the raisons wich could justify fairy tales succes ? 2) why and how do they belong to the children contemporary litterature ? 3) how storytwriters do proceed today ? We have tried to answer these questions; so we have investigated the intinsic copyrights of the genre itself. Then we have analysed the personages and their evolution in fairy tale, showing that they have encouraged the assimilation between fantastic story and child imaginary. We have demonstrated that the reactualization of the concept "fairy" permits fairy stories to exist in librairies of the xx century. In the end, we have made an exhaustive picture of children litterature in order to define the place which comes back to the fairy tale in it. From this study, we have conclued that fairy stories present a chilhood concept which is altered

The thesis analyses Jünger's "heroic" period which he believed influenced history, the progressive transformation into a doctor of civilization and of the human soul, thus delivering diagnoses and therapy. The thesis finally brings out the hierarchy between histories.

Benachir, Hynde. "Le "haiku" dans la littérature hispanique." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BOR30036/document.
Full textThe purpose of this thesis is set at a crossroads between linguistics and literature since it is about the haiku in Hispanic literature, which we aim to characterize as a poetic form in the Spanish-speaking literary context and as a "prototype" of the brief from the perspective of its discursive and enunciative terms. Traditionally associated with Japanese culture, in which it takes root, the haiku is one of the shortest poetic forms in the world. With its seventeen syllables in all, it compels to the greatest thoroughness in the choice of words, a concise expression and a "condensation" of the meaning that make it a succint poem, often to be pondered after reading. Neither verse nor rhyme are part of the metrical constraints of the Japanese haiku. Its aesthetics, influenced by Zen Buddhism, aims to be contemplative, supported by the subjectivity of the poetic voice, which appears as a "witness of the world", only transposing facts that are sometimes "unimportant", often trivial, yet nonetheless a part of any person's daily life. In Western poetry, the haiku has no equivalent, owing as much to its brevity as to its "puristic" aesthetics. However, it should be noted that it is strongly represented in contemporary Hispanic literature. Neither the Orientalism from the beginning of the XXth century nor the poetic re-assessments started by the Modernists and carried on by the Avant-Garde movements are enough to explain this enthusiasm of the Spanish-speaking poets for this Japanese poem. Indeed, Hispanic literature took hold of this literary phenomenon as soon as the first translations of Japanese anthologies were published, in the 1910s. There is, however, no linguistic connection between the haiku and Spanish-speaking poets. Nevertheless, the first collections of haikus also date back to the 1910s, which indicates that there was no latency between the appearance of the haiku and its adaptation into Spanish. Starting from these observations, we attempted, through a multi-focal approach notably based on literal analysis, to retrace this poetic form's literary and linguistic path, from the Japanese rice paper rolls to the so-called "Hispanic" haiku
