Full textRussian literature was known until the last decade of the twentieth century for its «chasteness» and the modest way with which it approached sexual desire. It however experienced a serious upheaval in the 1990s, when Soviet censorship disappeared, and the country opened itself to market and Western liberal values. Eroticism then blossomed even in mainstream literature. But a quarter of a century later, sexual euphoria seems to have cooled down. The starting point of this study was an interrogation about how does contemporary Russian literature view sex, desire, and the rights of the flesh. It was developed along four main themes, representing fundamental concepts of the erotic tradition, which, however, take very particular shapes in the context of Russian culture, dominated by Orthodox view of the body and sexuality : thanatic Eros, on the connection between desire for life and for death, anti-procreative Eros, on the troubled relationship between sex and procreation, utopian Eros, which explores the role of sex in utopic projects, and hedonistic Eros, interested in sex outside of any utilitarian paradigm, except pleasure of the senses. We will try to evaluate how much and in what ways contemporary Russian writers still retain the traditional picture of Eros, body, and sex, how they strive to free themselves from it, and with what success. We hope that this study will contribute to foster more scholarly research on this subject, which is still quite underdeveloped in French-speaking countries
Fürstenberger, Nathalie. "Le mythe grec dans la littérature argentine contemporaine." Paris 3, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA030020.
Full textThe study of greek mythology and of its usage in contemporary argentinian literature has showed us that the mythe do not only get their strengh from an aesthetic writing. At the beginning of the 20th century, intertextual practice conveyed the collectif and individual worries of writers. The various aspects of argentinian literature testify to the plasticity and flexibility of its mythology and reveal its permeability to past and present times

Full textCritical problems about the persistence of the picaresque in contemporary period reveal, from the sixties, a controversy which wasn’t able to give an homogeneous vision of the phenomenon. Variations between a close historical conception and an open a-historical conception don’t allow to distinguish essential details of a very rich presence which seems far from disappearance. In order to prove it, two sets of works of XXth and XXIth centuries have been considered, presenting a very definite character: on the one side, a restricted corpus, composed of rewritings or adaptations of Spanish canonical texts; on the other side, a second larger corpus, which doesn’t represent necessarily a reworking of the canon of picaresque genre. In order to analyze the corpus, we evidently tried to identify the surviving specific characteristics, even when they appeared as being modified, in XXth and XXIth centuries: particularly, we considered the narrator, the motif of vile birth, the marginalization of the hero and his dynamic status and also the conclusion of the stories. What come out from this analysis is that the reactivation of the picaresque genre cannot be limited to a contemporary rewriting, but it also constitute a literary genre, whose survival cannot be questioned and whose diffusion is quite ample. The analysis of this persistence in contemporary literature permits us to understand that this genre is not exclusively bound to one particular social organization or historical period, but that on the contrary it come out from a deep structure which was able, in history, to take form in writing and literary tradition.

Maini, Matilde. "Expressions de la périphérie dans la littérature brésilienne contemporaine." Thesis, Paris 10, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA100058/document.
Full textStarting from the concepts of the centre and the periphery, this thesis analyses their representation in Brazilian contemporary literature and their relationship in the Brazilian and international publishing market. Focusing on four Brazilian contemporary writers with different personal and creative paths – Rodrigo Ciríaco, Marcelino Freire, Ana Paula Maia e Patrícia Melo – this research aims to demonstrate that they can be placed on an imaginary line, which develops through multiple gradations. Therefore, this continuum is opposed to a binary opposition’s point of view. From this perspective, the emergence of a new literary movement from the suburbs of Brazilian big cities, the literatura periférica, is analyzed in order to try to understand how it is different, or not, from other literary discourses. Finally, the thesis observes the presence of Brazilian writers, especially exponents of literatura periférica, in the international publishing market, through their translation and participation in major international cultural events such as Frankfurt Book Fair and Paris Book Fair
Ramharai, Vicram. "La littérature mauricienne contemporaine d'expression créole : une approche socioculturelle." Aix-Marseille 1, 1985. http://www.theses.fr/1986AIX10048.
Full textContemporary Mauritian literature in Creole has been developing in the 1970s. Its reappearance after a long period of "silence" has created a problem: that of having a national literature written in a national language. Creole, besides being a language which is not well "equipped", is also limited in its function. It is mainly used for oral communication. Moreover, the population itself does not recognise Creole as a language. Hence, its use as a means of literary device is also limited. As a consequence, the writers prefer to publish books which are close to the oral tradition - poetry, drama. The political content of these books seems to hide a "cultural mission" of the writers, that of "cultural creolisation" of the people
Cavalié, Elsa. "Réécrire l’Angleterre (1900-1945) dans la littérature britannique contemporaine." Toulouse 2, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009TOU20113.
Full textThis dissertation deals with the rewritings of Edwardian & Georgian England in contemporary fiction, with a specific focus on J. L. Carr's A Month in the Country, Ian McEwan's Atonement, Julian Barnes's Arthur and George and Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy (Regeneration, The Eye in the Door and The Ghost Road). When choosing to go back to England's archetypal places, such as the English pastoral landscape and the “South Country”, “retro-Edwardian” novels question these territories' legitimacy and the ‘origin' of Englishness. Similarly, the English country houses are sometimes perceived as mazes in which their inhabitants get lost when trying to have one last look through their windows. Moreover, the concept of “community” is questioned, through its relationship to the Strange/Familiar dichotomy, in novels that are sometimes written “from the margins”. Gentlemanliness, its definition and ethos are then destabilized and the repression of feelings evoked. Still, regeneration is always deemed possible, whether it be thanks to the “talking cure” or artistic development. Furthermore, novels revisiting Georgian and Edwardian England are strongly metafictional, reflecting on the writing of History where fact and fiction are intermingled in order to create a dialogic relationship with the English literary tradition. Then “rewriting the past” is considered as an ethical enterprise where literature may reconcile such apparently contrasted concepts as postmodernism and humanism
Riou, Maïté. "Le sport dans la littérature italienne contemporaine (1860-1995)." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040111.
Full textThe thema of this thesis is: sport in Italian contemporary literature (1860-1995). This research is mainly developed from the angle of a historicizing analysis. The corpus of this thesis is composed of some 700 texts dealing with sports. In Italy, sport and literature entertain a narrow relationship through three main levels, successively analysed in the research. The title of the first part of the thesis is: sport and society. Social conjunctures and sporting writings. This first part considers the narrow relationship between the position gained by sports activities in Italian society, with their cultural, educational, political and economic effects and the emphasis given by the authors, politicians, scientists and journalists. The second part of the thesis deals with the following perspective: the great currents or literary forms and the treatment of the sporting theme. This part refers to the literary currents and those of their representatives - prose writers or poets - who have been able to use sporting themes, sporting adventure and physical training in order to build their work so that their specificity contributes to the renewal of the currents and or forms. The third and last part of the thesis is entitled: a few great existential themes apprehended by literature through the sporting prism. A more limited perspective, proceeding from a personal choice is outlined by this third part. The approach leads here to examine the literary treatment of sport under the angle of psychologic categories, both emotional and moral, of the forms of socialization and of the itineraries of formation. This thesis imposes itself primarily as a tribute to the cultural history of mentalities. It also demonstrates that in Italy numerous contemporary writers - prose writers, poets, journalists have been able to broaden and enrich their author's production by taking into account sporting theme
Akoum, Naam. "L'autobiographie dans la littérature arabe contemporaine : genèse et forme." Bordeaux 3, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996BOR30047.
Full textContemporary arabic autobiography starts on the model of its christian western "genre", and has its beginning in the 18th century with jean-jacques rousseau. In an autobiography the writer himself defines the conditions. But autobiography could be influenced by "specials forms", so there is no specific model of the autobiography. The general frame follows certain conditions which make the writer wants to write his autobiography in the pursuit of truth and sincerity and makes him write in the first person and respect the chronological events of his life. His conscience is the quest fort his own truth. The contemporary arab autobiography is greatly influenced by the western autobiography, omitting the intimate confession of the western writer, whereas the arab style is deep in moral and religious themes. It follows moral and mystic ideals but remains neutral to the current ideas of its time. It is however lacking in psychological fibre and gives less importance to the personal experience. It is therefore nearer the style of memoirs. Though this genre is recent in arabic literature, it still denotes a strong ressemblance to the european model and has left a mark on the tradition of the autobiography to this day. It goes back to al-ayyam of taha husayn which is at the origin of the contemporary arab autobio-graphy. It is a pamphlet for a triple truth : religious, social and cultural

Language is not divisible in identities. Second part. In the works of blanchot, we dispute the possibility that language could be outside or separated from the world. This time we refuse the idea that the reference is sufficient to account for the connection between language and the world, and therefore the possibility that thore could be, through this language which is supposed without any refrence, a language that would out of totality, third part. It is not necessary to suppose, as derrida does, that language is a pure form, inaudible and invisible, and so as to show its aporia we study the double position of nothingness, which is at the core of the logic of hegel. La conclusion, if language is paradoxically inaudible and invisible, it is so for reasons different form those given by derrida: it is exactly like any event, neither more, nor different

Full textThe linguistic study of the various forms of paroemia identified in the modern novel insists on structural peculiarities associated to proverbs and tries to bring definitions related to syntax and morphology. The rest of the analysis dedicates to the integration of proverbs in literature and the evolution of the Refranero acknowledged therefore. Phraseology is a relatively young discipline which cannot be handled without a previous sound theorical and terminological research. A linguistic analysis of established types of sentences aims at the identification of peculiari6es and characteristics of the phraseologistic system offering a consistent vision of the insertion of these locutions within the literary context. If addressed to from the stylistic point of view it appears that these formulae utilise stylistic standards but also and most of all basic components of poetry as rimes and rythm. Thus making easy their integration in texts, which rely upon proverbs and set expressions to achieve precise narrative and rethorical objectives

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to establish the relationship between the symbolic imaginary in the contemporary and show that literature is a valuable subject of anthropological analysis. We can say that our work has three big lines: literature as a source of knowledge, the nature of that knowledge and the analysis of books that confirm this research. We read sixty Brazilian and French novels to find the most important elements of the contemporary age. From this analysis we see a sensitivity of our world as neobaroque instead of others concepts. Our conclusion is focuses on the use of literature to achieve the symbolic imaginary literary and this makes possible the invisible

Full textBased on the features of mythological, historical and tradition ogres, this thesis questions the rehabilitation and timeliness of the myth of the ogre in a corpus of texts from the most varied French territories. The thesis is structured into five thematic chapters. The first chapter focuses on the birth of the ogre as myth and iconic character of culture and oral tradition in different territories. The second chapter discusses the regimes and tyrants which reign in the ogre: if "ogre" is the name for any tyrannical leader and dictator, he is represented in the texts by a variety of names and faces. In continuation of this research, the third chapter deals with the myth of the ogre from a social and familial perspective. The new avatars of the ogre in the contemporary are the fathers: destructive fathers, suffocating/degrading ones, and practitioners of a metaphorical cannibalism. Excessiveness lies in the violence with which they govern their families. In a Freudian perspective, the fourth chapter focuses on the relationship (sexual) impossible between parents and their offspring generated by symbolic castration, incest and sexual debauchery. The final chapter builds on the declination of the female ogre, ogress in the proposed body. Stunning character, which taking the most seductive forms, is inside only a monster ready to satisfy all her desires of any kind. The revival of the myth of the ogre in contemporary French prose is all too visible

Full textIt is only when Christianity ended shaping society that literature began to freely question the various categories of mystic and holiness through playful, erotic and controversial rewritings on the life of saints. In a era when Christianity gradually declines in various parts of the world when hagiography is taken over by writers who transform it and use it for their own purpose, in a time when the sacred fades away as much as it has spread - which, as we shall see, raise the question of secular holiness -, literature seems to succeed to religion, which implies that art turns out to be sacralized. We can wonder if the disenchantment of the world paradoxically goes hand in hand with a kind of literary enchantment. Does art, like religion, engender its own saints? If there are true believers in literature, then is it possible to dissociate real literary fait from blasphemy? Thus, we shall question the various conditions that may constitute a theology of contemporary literature, through the close scrutiny of the relationship between Modernity an the sacred and holiness

Full textSince the 80s, literature is again transitive insofar that, after the autotelic 60-70 years, it gives objects back outside of the very adventure of the writing and formal games. This movement returning to the questions of its time, showing characters generally sharing strained relationship with the collective, the individual and historical memory, confrontation of reality. . . , without despise the pleasure of the fabula of the story, has a new inflection in the early third millennium. Indeed, writers who are willing to stand in the sidelines of a "confusing" literature partake of "réelisme. " It allows to implement the experience of reality. If the realist literature allowed to establish an ideology of real, literature "réelisme" allows itself a confrontation with reality.

How to answer the call of reality today when it is as powerful and pervasive as it is today ? What literary devices are used to write with reality and produce a meeting for the reader ? We must deal with inexpressible reality but that only literature helps identify and collect in the layers of its substrate

Full textAbstractIn this study I propose to give a record on the special feature of Italian literary works concerning the subject of migration.My corpus includes the essential of the writings (eight autobiographical stories and four novels) published in Italy between 1990 (year that marks in Italy the growing of this new literary genre) and 2015.Authors taken into consideration are mostly Italians with an immigrant background, they are first-generation or second-generation immigrants.It’s a question of six men and six women. One of the issues of my comparative study is to try to determine the special features of an immigrant female writing study.For the first part of my work I trace the history of the migratory phenomenon during the last century analyzing the transformation of Italy from an emigration land into an immigration land.I also analyze the evolution of the lexicon gone with this transformation from 80’s.The second part is characterized by an interpretation of the works composing the corpus, concentrating my attention on the immigrant’s representation, on the way every writer reports his life conditions, on the personal experience, on his relationship often ambivalent with natives.I analyze the variety on the ways of representation (and self-representation) of the immigrant, according to the sexual identity, to the geographical, cultural and social origin of the writer, but also the die-hard singularity of his process.The last part is concerned with the analysis of the critical reception of this production in Italy.Key-words: migrant, migration, literature, stereotype, discrimination, racism

Full textNigerian literature at the dawn of the 21st century places the notion of identity in a context of immigration and globalization which complexifies and questions it. If the affirmation of national identity is no longer a priority, the third generation of Nigerian writers focuses on representations of identity as process and dynamics.Identity is first envisaged as a spatial and temporal construction around the heritage of Nigerian traditional cultures, the representations of space and its relation to History. However, this construction is questioned through the traumatic experience and immigration. The resulting spatial and cultural in-between space entails a crisis of the family ties, which become the object of a conflict between inherited and created identity. Finally, this momentum towards the future gives identity a kaleidoscopic configuration related to linguistic plurality and intertextuality. The writing of the self is associated to an echo chamber of languages, voices and embedded literary forms.To conclude, the age of globalization and mobility entails a transformation of the notion of identity due to multitude of cultural spaces where individuals live. The writing of the self as « initial data » thus evolves towards a writing of the sum of the possibilities of being

We will focus mainly to the works of contemporary female stories in China, to understand what form the « other » has taken, especially what is the image of the metaphorical « other » as animals, objects, people or abstract images as evil, color, fear. We study the relationship between the « I » and the « other » through the characters in the selected works by studying images of the « mother », « father » and especially the relationship with the « I » and also why and how the knowledge of the « other » self develops in the literary world, and finally how the image of the « other » evolves

Full textIf dance is linked to literature, it is because this art of movement has long been in need of a narration to exist. In this sense, when dance freed itself from texts during the 20th century, it became an art in its own right, ready to exist for itself and by itself. Why, then, do some French contemporary choreographers revert to literature in order to create their choreographic works? Faced with a phenomenon that could be interpreted as a simple regression, this study will not only endeavour to understand the stakes at play in processes of choreographic creation based on literary materials (which will also be examined), but it will also emphasise the processes of textual treatment from creation to completion. Thus, we will be able to discern both what persists and what changes in this renewed and mutually enriching dialogue between literature and dance

Full textThis dissertation deals with the way in which the child is pictured in contemporary British children’s literature. This study analyses the image of the child in the following works of fiction published between 1995 and 2005 by British authors : Philip Pullman, His Dark Materials ; Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl ; Jonathan Stroud, The Amulet of Samarkand ; J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone ; Kate Thompson, The New Policeman ; Alex Shearer, The Hunted ; Hilary McKay, Saffy’s Angel ; Anthony Browne, Into the Forest ; Lauren Child, Hubert Horatio Bartle Bobton-Trent ; Oliver Jeffers, Lost and Found. The analysis of the portraits of child characters and of the representations of their environment (both spatial and temporal) enables us to create a picture of the contemporary child as British children’s authors imagine him. The image of the child in adult literature has often been examined, but its analysis in the works that are meant to be read by children offers a different perspective, which illustrates both the reality of the child as it is perceived by the writers, and the ideal child which the author would like his young reader to emulate. Theories of reception enable us to investigate the child reader who is hiding between the lines of the text and to demonstrate the increasing autonomy granted to the child in literature, be it the child character or the child reader

Full textThe present thesis deals with the representation of time in contemporary native American literature. The analysis tends to prove the existence of a specific representation of time in this ethnic literature. This temporal view contrasts with the one that has been imposed by white culture for it is deeply rooted in myth. It can be argued that this temporal specificity is paradoxical in so far as native American authors claim to be actors of history and at the same time reject the linear perception of time in favor of a mythic time. The latter succeeds in abolishing the temporal progression through circularity and a focalisation on the "now". Moreover, with the profusion of avatars of mythic characters, prophecies, dreams and visions, the writers reactualize in the present moment the immemorial times and thus abolish profane time, suspend duration and enable the reader to be drawn into some highly sacred time, both primordial and recoverable

Full textIn the narrative genre, the modern short story is now trying to go beyond the nineteenth century models. One possibility to create a new way in the classical tradition that privileges plot and final surprise appears to be a recurrent use of myth. These narratives suggest the reader a sort of enigma and reveal the links that exist between literary and mythical fiction. In fact, it seems that the contemporary writers, such as Borges, Cortazar, Welty and the like, can use classical myths to help solve the narrative problems of the short genre - how to describe space, time and character in the story. So, thanks to comparisons between European and American short stories, we find common devices and choices - the labyrinth, Circe and primitive figures. But they interfere in the story through allusion. The enigma of the texts is enlightened only by the names, the titles and the epigraphs. In conclusion, let us emphasise that mythological short stories are rather scholarly for the common reader. As metafictions that play on intertextuality, they epitomise the contemporary interrogations literature is pervaded with
Micolau, Florence. "Les représentations des milieux de la mode dans la littérature contemporaine." Perpignan, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PERP1080.
Full textThis doctoral dissertation aims at studying the representations of the fashion world from the end of the XIXth century to the beginning of the XXIth century in six books : Emile Zola’s Le Bonheur des dames, Paul Morand’s Le Bazar de la Charité, Cesare Pavese’s Tra donne sole, Jay McInerney’s Model Behavior, Bret Easton Ellis’ Glamorama and François Vigouroux’ Flashes. This study intends to put in the foreground social circles often considered as frivolous. After a socio-historic introduction which appears as a framework to the literary analysis, the first purpose is to show how these social circles degrade over the years. This survey is envisaged with regard to the Gilbert Durand's theories on the imagination. A thematic and mythical dimension is then studied. It articulates around the relationship between the individuals and the cities - places of fashion -, and the relationship between the individuals, in particular from the point of view of the sexuality. Finally, by means of an approach related to psychoanalysis and psychiatry, the individual disorders and pathologies generated by these social circles as well as their aesthetics are stressed upon to reach the unconscious of the text and, to a certain extent, the unconscious of the authors

Full textThis study has set the objective analysis of the structure of contemporary Arabic narrative prison and aesthetic and symbolic litters. At the methodological level, the study used the narrative semiotics as an instrument approach procedure to the structure and allow a transition to other levels, including the socio-psychological approach. The prison story, which takes the form of the novel or autobiographical narrative promotes a term that highlights a person undergoing a descent into hell without a real quest item. This story evolves around three stages: before, during and after incarceration. Each period has its characteristics and its themes. The theme of incarceration is also developing around two axes: The Self and the space-time.

Full textThis study tackles the aesthetics, politics and ethics of androgyny, focusing on five novels of contemporary British writers: Brigid Brophy’s In Transit, Angela Carter’s The Passion of New Eve, Jeanette Winterson’s Written on the Body, Peter Ackroyd’s Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem and Will Self’s Cock and Bull. The first part examines the aestheticdimension of androgyny, a myth of metamorphic value that destabilizes notions of space, time, bodily constraints and gendered identity. The second part analyses the interplay between the grotesque and hybrid dimensions of the hermaphroditic body in reclaiming the monstrous as a means to renegotiate identity in terms of a multiplicity and to redefine the relationship of the individual to Otherness. This finally allows to examine the political and ethical values ofthe hermaphrodite that articulates the non-foundational Levinasian ethics of alterity with the more practical approach to otherness of the ethics of care
Fiatti, Igor. "La Mitteleuropa et son processus de métamorphose dans la littérature contemporaine." Thesis, Paris 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA030003.
Full textThe Mitteleuropa has been molded, deformed, exploited as much by the protagonists as by the crowd people of our history. Therefore, in its incessant metamorphosis, in its flou existential being, in its tension between center and periphery, between "major" end "minor" literature, between West and East, it's showed itself as a deep-rooted confusion: an ontological confusion. This study has found such disarray along a walk among the literary paths of central Europe, a way that, from the Habsburg myth, from the saga k.u.k of Joseph Roth, meets the Mitteleuropa of the borders, the Mitteleuropa of the frontiers
Steiner, Liza. "Échos sadiens dans la littérature contemporaine : énoncé d’une nouvelle économie politique." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016STRAC015.
Full textThis work studies the ground shared by the work of the Marquis de Sade and a corpus of works by contemporary writers : Tony Duvert, Catherine Millet, Aldo Busi, Elfriede Jelinek, James Graham Ballard, Bret Easton Ellis, Don DeLillo and Nelly Arcan. Sade’s hypothesis of a combination of sexuality and economy finds echoes in contemporary literature. But the social, liberal and individualistic structure which such literature describes entails different reading protocols. From the elitist posture of Sadian libertines, which endangers the society’s foundations, to democratic leveling, which involves a new conformism, we can see a mutation of the intersubjective relations in progress. The authors of this corpus redefine the economy of passion and the economy of enjoyment by presenting us with characters subjected to the tyranny of consumerism. From the enumeration of sexual partners to a sexual production turned into economic production, our corpus highlights desire as a mode of analysis of new violence within society. The authors in our corpus may not use the same narrative strategies, but their respective ways of writing all contribute to defeating this deadly new Eros

Full textChildren's literature, although considered for a long time as sub-literature, has, during recent decades, become emblematic of literature of quality. Picture books, which integrate both pictures and text to make sense, are one of its distinctive features. Within this production, we have chosen the theme of Love. This theme is seen as more innovative probably because it is linked to the evolutions of society. In this context, we have based our research on a selection of thirty or so contemporary picture books representative of all the productions from 1980 to 2009. In order to identify the main features of these productions, we have used a cross- analysis reviewing the various stages of love. All these analyses show, even demonstrate, the specificities and qualities reached in this literary genre, as well as the range of the themes approached. Indeed, we have observed that the combined talents of some authors and illustrators stand out in many ways on the levels of imagination as well as originality and humour, to such a degree that certain picture books can arouse the interest of grown-ups and children alike. This talent also shows in the way the themes are adapted, taking into account the constraints and regulations linked to the supposed age of the readers. Thus, it is interesting to note that almost all the themes of literature related to love are approached and that many sources of inspiration re-appear with them, whether it is tales, legends or ancient myths

Full textAs teacher, we have noticed that fairy tale is omnipresent in schools and children librairies. We have also noted that this tradition, still alive, produces new fairy stories todays. 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

Full textThe purpose of the present synthesis is a reflexion upon a collection of various articles and essays on literary forms of narrative thus far unrecognized by the literary and intellectual establishment. It consists in four major illustrations of the topic: 1) a socio-historical testimony, a best-seller in 1864, : enrichetta caracciolo's memoirs, a former benedictine nun; 2) a perspective of present italian para-literature; 3) a sample of the popular press in florence between the two world wars: la farfalla (1921-1933); 4) the complete failure of a literary career: the case of alfredo mori (1878-1948), a friend of g. Papini and g. Prezzolini. Through the study of the mechanisms of the various marginalizing processes usually caused by the institution (more specifically social and sexual discrimination of reader as well as of writer), this dissertation which is also based upon many examples borrowed from the italian and french literatures, is designed to show what was meant, down to the senenties, by the notion of "margin" as far as the literary field in the strict sense of the word was concerned. In an apparently reversed situation, but in fact perfectly logical as regards the recent evolution of the book market, this notion should now be applied, not to the fast

Full textThe Vietnamese need some centuries to take conscience of the maritime element. Until the second half of the 20th century, the Vietnamese history nearly did not have events which took place on the sea. The China Sea was neglected by the Vietnamese who prefered their rivers. The rough currents off Vietnam and the superstitions made the people afraid of this part of their territory. The exile on the sea in the 80's by the Vietnamese Boat-People consequently caused one of the most important literary movement of the country. Through literature, we can see this learning of living with the China Sea by the Vietnamese people, their own way to take place in the South East Asian's politic scene with their strategic position on the sea. Poets like Huy Can or Xuan Dieu have done much to make them get accustomed to the theme of the sea in poetry and novels. It is this evolution, this learning which is worth studying because the China Sea is becoming an inspiration for Vietnamese literature

Full textLiterature and literary life of czech emigration from 1948 to 1968 have not yet been studied either in czechoslovakia or in western countries. Therefore the first part of the present dissertationanalyzes in first place the general problems of the czech literary emigration from 1948 to 1968 : czech literature in exile compared to national czech literature; composition of the czech literary emigration; its chronological evolution; its purposes; its contacts with a czech audience. The chronology is not "literary" but follows the evolution of the international political situation, from cold war to detente, and consists of the three folllowing parts : formation period (1948-1952); peak period (1953-1956); dialogue period, aiming at influencing the evolution of society in czechoslovakia (1957-1968). Each part successivily presents the political and economic situation in which the emigration developed, its activities; its literary production and its themes, its main journals, organizations and "publishers". The conclusion introduces a comparison between this first wave of czech literary emigration and the second one which was to last from 1968 to the fall of the communist regime in 1989

Full textThis work takes up its substance and strength in demonstrating that meal time, in maghrebin litterature, is not only a powerful diegetic factor, able to permeate and/or buffthe boarders between appetite and memory, knowledges and flavors, identity and alterity. It is also and above all a way of mending, through the virtues of the very act of eating, the historical, social and psychological fractures which have marked the north african countries. Thus, the possibility of starting an analysis as broad as possible, aiming at the real sensitive points of the maghrebin Iitterary production: ethnographic description, autobiography, humour, textual modernity, collective or individual history, immigration, multiculturalism. It also reaches a suprasensible dimension, where the individual is merging with his surroundings. The studied corpus is considering the works of Feraoun, Dib, Boumahdi, Boudjedra, Bouraoui, Binebine, Chraïbi, Bénabou, Laroui, Fellag, Alloula et Khaïr-Eddine

Full textThe dissertation is devoted to 'writing under restrictions' in fiction in general and in the French literature of the 20th century in particular. This mode of writing dates back several centuries and is defined as a number of specific formal rules, or restrictions, that an author adds to the existing linguistic and cultural norms, and deliberately and systematically follows in his/her writing of a work of fiction. These restrictions are analysed in a number of aspects – from specific rhetorical devices to global artistic concepts, – and within the context of various disciplines and cultures, which allows to treat these limitations as a formalist aesthetics in its own right. The dissertation studies various approaches to interpretation of restricted writing, defining the status of the text, the author and the reader, as well as the place and the role that is given to this kind of literature in the contemporary creation. Restricted writing, as it appears, is both a source of inspiration and a word game, moreover, it also turns out to be an instrument of dissent and subversion, a tool for liberation and a way of spiritual quest

Full textThis study proposes a new interpretive apparatus to examine readers'experience of sensuality in their engagement with the language of fiction. Postmodern texts explore literature's ability to signify and materialize experiences, mediating the physical conditions of everyday existence with the physical conditions of reading and writing. In this exploration, avant-garde writers disrupt traditional signifying techniques, emphasizing the materiality of the medium of their texts - print, sound, page, orthography, syntax, etc. This disruption provokes an erotic examination of language and encourages a bodily relationship with the textual medium. I investigate this mode of writing and its political consequences in Joseph McElroy's Plus (1977), Carol Maso's AVA (1993), Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's DICTEE (1982), and Steve Tomasula and Stephen Farrell's VAS (2002), as they produce examples of both thematic and structural erotics through visual experiments, metaphors, or allegorical representations of theoretical connections between pleasure and language. Informed by feminist theorists Julia Kristeva and Hélène Cixous, film critic Laura Marks, philosopher Georges Bataille, art historian Georges Didi-Huberman, and the writings on avant-garde literature by Roland Barthes, this study clarifies American experimental literature's ability to counterbalance and demystify contemporary rhetorical apparatuses that fosters political agendas. This project thus repositions postmodern texts as feminist practices that call for a political reevaluation of social systems which confine fictional examinations of the body, and their interpretations, to patriarchal paradigms

Full textAt the begning of the century colonisation in the maghreb had a strident echo : the brutal contact between two different civilisations gave rise to a complete reversal of culture and local history. At the beginning of the 50's and with the appearance of liberation mouvements young their cultural and personal identity with respect to the orient, and the west which was no longer exterieur and unknown. Through their works they express the three dimensions of this identity : the past, the present and the future. Thus, this generation of early post independence writers started by writing personnal histories whose expression has tended towards a symbolic secularity as if to go against the tide of tradition towards a univers unknown even to them. Is their launching into literature by writing about their lives not also the taking of an opposite direction to western literature in which a biography is a celebration of a personal literary carrer ? the aim is perhaps to create a new cultural independence : independence from the oriental tradition and from the western autobiographical model. A young literature, young writers, a symbolic identity in the process of becoming independent and a history of literature impossible to write for the moment because of its youth : this is the general framework in which the author of this monograph will treat the subject of life histories in french and arab in contemporary moroccan literature

Full textThe literature of the French-speaking Black Africa was perceived for a long time even theorized like concerning an ordinary literature of engagement because of the history of the continent. This design, in a certain manner, unconsciously harmed the image which one could have of this literature. It is from the Eighties, after the collapse of the Communism, that the concept of literary engagement seems, to be constrained to evolve and to renew itself putting more and more the African writer in a rather uncomfortable situation divided between the desire to remain a political writer, near to his people concerns, and the desire to assert a creative autonomy. Nowadays, if the question of artistic engagement makes debate again, it’s certainly not a question of chance according to the confused and dubious time we must cope with. Indeed, we attend a loss of the reference marks and ideals leading the men of thought (intellectual, writers) to adopt writing projects, i. E. Engagements, different in their work of creation. What are the interrogations that were faced or are still faced to the sub-Saharan committed literature in this universalization era? Thus, our study tries to analyze the evolution of this problematic until the faintness current of the new African writers in French language, confronted with a problem of redefinition contents of literary engagement
