Tuccella-Petitdemange, Gabrielle. "Les images de dévotion populaire." Strasbourg 2, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995STR20030.
Full textThis thesis sets out to study pious images as a reflection of popular religious feeling and collective religious representations. Seven hundred and sixty seven images were collected in the course of a survey of mainly elderly people in Alsace. The dates of the images range from the late nineteenth century to the present day. A study of the images reveals the vitality of people's relationship to and dealings with divinity. Prayer is the essential dimension of this relationship. The images preserved show that religious experience is deeply entrenched in alsace and bears the stamp of the counter-reformation. Howewer, differences in religious experience emerge according to the person's social background, educational level, age, sex and religious commitment

Full textThis thesis deals with the way such seventeenth-century writers as the Catholic poets Southwell and Crashaw ad their Anglican counterparts Donne, Herbert and Vaughan handle the tear-motif in their devotional poetry. It purports to establish why the motif is equally used by poets of different religious persuasions in early-modern England. It also looks into the reasons why these writers, through they are steeped in spirituality, are so anxious to represent what is inherently but a bodily fluid. Thus, this study analyses the way tears as material substances are depicted in the poems as well as the way the motif actually fits in with seventeenth-century theories of the passions of the mind. In addition, it brings out how profoundly the alchemy of tears sustains the dynamics of faith as it gives a fresh impetus to the poets' endorsement of Christian spirituality, and examines how influential a part it plays on poetic creation itself
Aron, Mélanie. "Les mémoires de Madame de Motteville : du dévouement à la dévotion." Nancy 2, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999NAN21037.
Full textWhen Louis XIII died, Madame de Motteville exiled by Richelieu in 1624, was called back to the Court. She lived the next 23 years at the side of Anne of Austria, and became her confident. During her free time, she wrote down her observations and reflexions. These notes form the basis of her Memories, the definitive version of which was written in 1661. I have chosen to travel down this path, in the steps of the confident, and watch as the Court passes before her eyes : the picture painted by Madame de Motteville offers the reader a pessimistic vision of a world in decline. If the Memories witness her profound attachment to the Crown, they are also the place where her personality is expressed. The writing constitutes an essential element of her existence. The reader travels through an historic biography to a personal story. Neither the life of the Court, neither her writing about it, can make her forget her anxiety about past times. Haunted by nostalgia for paradise lost, she renounces, little by little the world as she turns toward eternal truths. . . Then disappears
Hadas-Lebel, Mireille. "L'image de Rome dans la littérature juive d'époque hellénistique et romaine jusqu'au début du IVème siècle." Paris 1, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA010629.
Full textIn this dissertation we try to draw the image of rome as viewed in jewish sources since the time of the maccabees (2nd cent. B. C. ) till the end of the pagan empire (325 c. E. ). In contradiction to the fragmentary vision of other peoples subdued by rome, the jewish vision has a tridimensional aspect : political, moral and eschatological. As a wordly power, rome is at first idealized under the influence of the judeo-roman treatise of 161 b. C. But her image gets constantly deteriorating after pompey's entrance to jerusalem in 63 b. C. Although some political minds like philo or josephus, try to preserve the image of an ever benevolent rome, non historic jewish sources reflect deep hatred as early as in the second half of first century b. C. This hatred gets more intense in rabbinical sources due to the destruction of the temple in 70 c. E. And to the consequences of the unfortunate bar kosiba's uprising (132-135 c. E. ). Although we find in such sources as palestinian talmud and midrash the memory of events past rather than historical facts, one should pay attention to the unvaluable picture of realia preserved in our texts. The moral image of rome is influenced by the deterioration of political relations, in addition to the fact that rome symbolizes the triumph of paganism. Only from the eschatological point of view shall we find an answer to the
Quaglia, Elena. "L’identité juive en question : Irène Némirovsky, Patrick Modiano, Marc Weitzmann." Thesis, Paris 10, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA100052/document.
Full textJewishness, that is to say the personal and singular relationship that an individual experiences regarding their Jewish origins, finds significant resonance in certain literary works. If it is dangerous to assign writers an identity that in and of itself is problematic, it is nonetheless useful to interrogate their relationship with this identity as they make formal and thematic choices. This is less a question of finding a place for writing Jewishness within a canonical and minor literary corpus, instead related to questioning the changing forms of this writing as seen in various epochs and within various aesthetics. Through a corpus composed principally of the works of Irène Némirovsky, Patrick Modiano and Marc Weitzmann, this study examines the evolutions of relationships between writing and Jewishness over three generations of authors, as well as changes in the Jewishliterary consciousness as it faced historical and cultural realities over time. This means paying particular attention to the representation of Jewishness at the crossroads of autobiographical and social discourses. The works of Némirovsky, Modiano and Weitzmann are notably emblematic in their questioning of Jewish identity through a reappropriation of anti-Semitic discourses that is at times ambiguous and at times deflecting.Analyzing these texts, which appeared over the course of almost a century, allows us to open a particular perspective on French literature, including some of its most recent developments. Notably, the question of terrorism as it is linked to the situation in the Middle East, relations with Israel, and the memory of the camps as it becomes more often a post-memory, are at the center not only of Jewish writing, but more generally of trends throughout French literature. Even at the aesthetic level, today’s codified and widespread textual forms such as auto-fiction, “récit de filiation” or “roman archéologique” seem quite capable of hosting investigations of a fleeting or problematic Jewish identity

Full textLévy, Messod. "Le thème de l'exil dans la littérature biblique." Paris 8, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA082500.
Full textThe main object of the Theme of exile in the biblical literature is the study of the wandering and exiles of Jewish people. It is also the very acute perception that this People can have of exile and certainly even more the understanding of the evolution of the prophetical perceptions. The term exile includes a group of representations and realities (expulsion, wandering, political enslavement, dispersion, desire of freedom) which, have reappeared and deepened during every biblical period. And it appears that the status of exile is immanent in the weakness: every time men are incline to renounce their partnership with God they face the above-mentioned situations. These are the main lines which define the nature of exile and which constitute the first part of this work. In view of studying these exiles it, then, seemed interesting to us, to proceed with a reading and analyses of the first outward signs of this illness which physically and morally eats away the individual who is affected by it. To this end, we have obviously consulted the Pentateuch which describes its structure ; the Prophets who present and diachronically disclose its dimension. And despite all the efforts to go closely into this Theme which have made it possible to understand the correlations and to establish these deductions, the historical side has never been dissociated from the religious, social and psychological aspects. This combination is what gives this subject its real value, its history

Full textThis work deals with the Talmudic ethics of the self, how it differs from other ethical systems of the Mediterranean world of the first centuries CE and in what ways it resembles these systems. Through analysis of texts from classical rabbinic Iiterature, we show that the rabbinic movement developed an anthropological and ethical conception that was dIfferent than the one we find in philosophical and Christian writings of the first centuries. The particularities of the rabbinic ethics of the sel : are studied through the analysis of six themes: all of which figure prominently in rabbinic ethical discussions: repentance (teshuvah), suffering (yissurim) ; master-disciple relationship (rav-talmid) ; the bad inclInation (yetzer ha-ra); the fear of God (yirah) and the relationship between study,and practice of the Law (talmud and ma 'assé). Using the works of Michel Foucault, PIerre Hadot and Vincent Descombes, we try to demonstrate the importance of the rabbinic ethics of the self to the history of the occidental subject and to our way of thinking it, and to articulate its relation to the moral law

Full textThis thesis aims to analyse the representation of the Jewish condition as it emerges from the novels by Irène Némirovsky, Albert Cohen and Joseph Roth, by exploring the theme of diversity in an unstable equilibrium between assimilation and non-assimilation, of which the 20th century Jew can be considered the most emblematic model. The selected corpus of texts, in fact, almost always contemplates as protagonists Jewish figures who have abandoned their original world and tried to integrate in the middle class society, without ever succeeding and therefore remaining perennially poised between assimilation and non-assimilation. Even though the Jewish diversity and assimilation represent very specific subjects, the proposed thesis is that the Jewish matter that permeates my corpus has been elaborated in a way to become the paradigm of universal situations, associated to all mankind. Starting from the two concepts of paria and parvenu theorised by Hannah Arendt, it has been demonstrated a fruitful analogy between the dynamics of the Jewish assimilation and the mechanisms of the social ascent that is typical of the middle class, that is par excellence a class of parvenus. In this context, the “social ascent” French novel of the 19th century becomes a possible model for the novels of the corpus; moreover, this allowed to insert the thematic discourse within an approach of textual type. Through this comparison with the texts of the French tradition, we intended to show how the works by Némirovsky, Cohen and Roth, describing the aporia of the Jewish assimilation process, are able to reveal the contradictions and the illusions of social equality on which the whole modern middle class society lies
Jehl, Emilie. "Le motif du cœur dans l'emblématique anglaise de dévotion au XVIIe siècle." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018STRAC033.
Full textThis thesis brings together three emblem books : Henry Hawkins’ The Devout Hart (1633), Christopher Harvey’s The School of the Heart (1647) and John Hall’s Emblems with Elegant Figures (1648). By doing so, it confronts three writers who display denominational differences in King Charles I’s England, where the issue of religion still fuels intense debates and conflicts. Yet those emblematists share an interest in the motif of the heart, which they use as a metonymy for man in his relationship to transcendence. By replacing the discourse of the heart in the historical, cultural and ideological context in which it has emerged, this thesis attempts to show how three authors with presumably conflicting views end up converging. Moreover, it shows how engravings and texts interact to articulate a powerful affective discourse, which can engage both the reader/spectator’s sympathy and adherence. The emblem book thus works as the support of a meditative exercise through which the devout can hope to find again the way to his soul and bring it back to God

Full textThis thesis examines the complex connections between literature and religion in catholicism stemming from the council of trent, through the works of one of the most astonishing individuals of the first half of the seventeenth century in france, jean-pierre camus. An active bishop as well as a prolific novelist, camus was the author of a series of works written between 1620 and 1644, entitled "histories devotes", which exhibit close links between fiction and spirituality. This thesis examines how these paradoxical narrations use varied procedures -subtle devout traps- to convert their readers, and how such poetics of devotion are developed for the specific audience imagined as "honnetes gens" (honorable people). The "histoires devotes" also raise questions about the text of an experience : the relationship between an experience of writing or reading and a religious experience. This study is organized in four parts. The first part considers how camus's religious thought was influenced by francois de sales. A second part considers the reformation of reading recommended by camus, in which recreation is mingled with piety. The third part scrutinizes the poetics of the "histoires devotes". The fourth part suggests an allegorical interpretation of the stories, and concludes with questions about the implications of reading in the practices of spirituality

Full textAfter defining and justifying the choice of carnival as a mode for analyzing comic and after briefly retracing the evolution of judaism and jewishness in the usa, we have dedicated the first part of this study to the jewish historic memory with a double target : identify the role and status of women in the jewish tradition and go back to the sources of jewish literary comic to show the different representations of wives and or mothers. The carnavalization of the pharmakos jewish mama, guarantor of the most sacred institutions of judaism and symbol af an archaic collective conscience which serves as a base to its identity and whose descendants want to free themselves from, has been studied in two successive acts, as they were written within the powerful jewish-american literary movement of the sixties and the seventies. Wether the sons kill the castrating and voracious monster or whether the daughters depict themselves as a mother pursued by mishaps and failures, both acts of the carnival merge and result in the same symbolic destruction of the self. The last part is devoted to the linguistic aspects of the carnivalizing process aiming at the annihilation of the pharmakos

Full textAt the end of the time of the Second Temple (first century B. C. - first century A. D. ), the Jewish society consists in various socio-religious political parties, who give it a heterogeneous character. Each of these parties suggests an interpretation of the Law according to its own criteria. And yet, alter the year 70 A. D. , time of the destruction of the Second Temple by the Roman armies, this society gradually goes through masive changes which will redefine its internal structure. The Sages, successors of the Pharisees, will become, as the years go by, the politico-religious leaders of this society. The birth of this orthodoxy will entail the exclusion of the Jewish Christians and of the amei-ha-aretz, who will be moved away from the community and finally excluded, because of their being regarded as heterodox. The first ones will be turned away from Judaism whereas the second ones will be reinstated to it

Full textOn the background of the collaboration of the German and Austrian Adventist churches to the Nazi regime, the author analyzes the behaviour of the French adventisme in front of the Jewish and Hebraic culture over a period which extends from 1930 till 2010. All numbers of the Adventist magazines, « The Signs of Time » and « The Adventist Review », are inventoried and several Adventist works connected to the Jewish and Hebraic culture are analyzed. An epilogue collects certain number of proposals to the advantage of a « teaching of the respect » which the author proposes in answer to this « teaching of the contempt » raised by Jules Isaac

Full textThis thesis examines literary translations in the light of anti-Semitic and anti-feminist representations which are analysed according to an expression of an anti-modernist cultural code. This code, which expressed a discomfort with modernism through a number of grand metaphors, underwent significant transformation throughout the period; this transformation is reflected in various degrees in literary texts, depending on their positioning in the literary field. In spite of country-specific developments, a comparative approach reveals profound similarities in this pan-European phenomenon. Whilst the connection between anti-feminism and anti-semitism can be shown to constitute a profound integral feature of these ostracist discourses, a consideration of the various dimensions of the social discourse allows us to highlight the particularities of the individual literary texts, their specific ambiguities and strategies of differentiation

Thesis, Paris 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA030035.
Full textThrough the comparison of four novels written at different periods of the 20th century,in different languages and different places, but each marked by a common Polish-Jewishheritage – In Polish Woods by Joseph Opatoshu, Satan in Goray by Isaac Bashevis Singer,The Last of the Just by André Schwarz-Bart and See Under: Love by David Grossman – theobject of this study is to observe the transformation of Jewish memory as it passes from thereligious sphere to that of secular literature. By investigating the themes of imitation andsubversion in literature, it is possible to understand the process of continuity and discontinuitywhich accompany the dissolution of traditional communities and their passage to modernity.To see how this transformation operates on a textual level, in the constitution of newnarratives by which culture is redefined, we will connect the literary strategies ofintertextuality, pastiche, reference or parody on the part of the authors with the mimetic actsof identifying, projection, and play performed by the characters. The recurrence of thequestions of fidelity and betrayal, of imitation and rivalry, invites us to investigate the role ofcultural models and the manner in which their transfer and renewal redefine group memory.The novel, by enacting mimetic processes which are observed from a perspective of distance,manages to both reproduce and at the same time dismantle the myths of identity created bymodernity

Full textThis thesis aims at probing the possibility of a literature on concentration camps. The first part copes with general questions such as the characteristics of a literature on concentration camps and gives a presentation of works pertaining to this category. The second chapter examines five conceptions illustrating the commun points and the diverge nces of the various historical and literary interpretations of concentration camps. The last chapter shows the specific features of each author through a study of their textes. This chapter is further divided in four subparts distinguishing the analysis of works by direct witness like antelme, chalamov, levi, rousset and wiesel, that of novels by gary and merle who have not personally experienced concentration camps, the study of solzhenitsyn's the gulag archipelago, and that of claude lanzmann's film, shoah. Throughout this inquiry we will try, by studing the fonctions which a literature on concentration camps can have, inscribe the singularity of the questions aroused bu the existence of concentration camps in the universality of the answers provided

Full textThe prayers and meditations of s. Anselm of Canterbory (1109) is a major reflection of the changes that took place in the 11th century medieval western spirituality. By recreating a link to the practices of classical philosophy and by transforming at its essence the genre of private prayer, Anselm offered medieval literature a crowning master piece to its own laborious and fertile evolution since Carolingian times. A victim of its own success, the Anselmian prayers and meditations were rapidly expended upon by new texts from the very beginning of the 12th century. To the twenty three original texts, successive copyists and editors of the prayers and meditations added many prayers by well-known authors, such as ralph of battle, john of fecamp or aelred of rievaulx and by several anonymous authors. The 17th century edition by dom G. Gerberon, reprinted in patrologia latina (pl 158), includes no less than one hundred and eleven texts. This work therefore has two objectives : first to present the history of this complex work in order to attempt to explain its origin by showing 12th century manuscripts all the while situating the book in its literary tradition ; second by studying more than 100 manuscripts, this work offers a critical study and a translation of 12th century Anselmian apocrypha. The latter, situated at the very origin of later editions, represent the most interesting part of Anselmian apocrypha in so far as the emanate from Anglo-Norman monastic milieus contemporary to Anselm. These texts form an interesting ensemble of witnesses to 12th century private devotion prayer unedited since the 17th century

Full textWhy are literary testimonials by Jewish authors from before and after Auschwitz much less well-known than texts by male Jewish authors ? Is it still possible to speak of testimony in the third generation ? Which options and limits are revealed by comparative work on literary texts dealing with the holocaust ? The piece of work uses contemporary literary texts from thre generations of authoresses from Germany and France to examine motifs and writing styles through which memory and testimony of the Holocaust are reconstructed / Grete Weil's "Meine Schwester Antigone", Ruth Klüger's "weiter leben". "Eine Jugend", Esther Dischereits "Joe͏̈mis Tisch", Barbara Honigmann's "Eine Liebe aus nichts", Anna Langfus'"le sel et le soufre", Sarah Koman's "Rue Ordener, rue Labat" and Cécile Wajsbrot's "La trahison". Against the background of theoretical models of memory from before and after Auschwitz, a policy of commemoration in Germany and France from 1945 to today and the question as to a specific character of female Jewish authorship, the analysis focuses on structures of memory and testimony in the description of topographies, physical memories, generations and genealogies and in autobiographical writings
Chauneau-Hadouch, Ghyslaine. "Du sensible au spirituel, les multiples voix d'Edmond Amran El Maleh." Bordeaux 3, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010BOR30045.
Full textThis dissertation is a study of Edmond Amran El Maleh’s work and more particularly of the singularity of his writing. El Maleh distinguishes himself from what we usually think of as francophone Morrocan literature, both thematically and poetically. El Maleh’s writing is defined first of all by a sensitive approach to the world and to his initial Moroccan environment. The writer restores parts of Morocco’s history and of the story of the Moroccan Jewish community in narrations which evoke memories in what is sometimes realist mode and sometimes poetic. El Maleh was born in Safi in 1917 to a Jewish family from Essaouira; he is a former philosophy teacher and an ex-member of the Moroccan Communist Party, which he left before independence. These multiple identities nourish his writing and contribute to the abolishment of all structural, spatial or temporal constraints. This study seeks to define the major aspects of El Maleh’s poetics: the imbrication of languages, the work and the significance of rhythm, the images and the manner of transmitting memories. El Maleh’s writing is one of a sensitive poet who refuses simplicity, even if this includes a constant meditation on his writing. In the end, what gives the reader a sense of unity actually comes from the mystical aura on which it feeds. Inherited from an ancestral hybrid cultural fund and adapted to the needs of creation, it gives El Maleh’s work its undeniable spiritual depth

Full textThis monograph is focused on the role as cultural mediator of the Jewish Austrian writer Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) and takes an approach based on the "cultural transfers" theory. His varied identities led him to assume a mediating position among the French literary intellectuals essentially Emile Verhaeren (1855-1916) and Romain Rolland (1866-1944). In order to succeed in this mission as mediator, he created a successful literary network strategy. A Zweig's dynamic took place including correspondences, translations, prefaces, conferences and promoting in this way an intensive French-German dialog or rather a European cultural forum. His relationship to politics and Jewish movements is ambivalent and questionable essentially during the Nazism period

Full textThis thesis revisits the debates concerning the unspeakable and explores the problematic relation between fiction and testimony in Holocaust Literature. The literary analysis of the works written by Elie Wiesel, La nuit and Le crépuscule, au loin, and by Imre Kertész, Être sans destin and Le chercheur de traces, brings to light a renewed definition of literary testimony and of bearing witness which includes factual and fictional elements. Furthermore, the main purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that the horrific experiences of the Holocaust can in fact be effectively transmitted and brought to life through literature, contrary to common notion of the unspeakable. These writers do not speak of the Holocaust in the most transparent and direct way, rather different narrative strategies to represent the Holocaust are put to use. The narrative works of Wiesel and Kertész reveal a hesitation and an uncertainty that illustrates the presence of doubt related to the perceived reality of the Holocaust. The objective of this study is to explore the different ways in which the rapport between testimony and truth are weakened and to provide specific examples to demonstrate the distance of testimony from truth. Doubt is seen as the most prominent example in revealing how the obligation of truth in testimony is fading. This analysis of doubt will illustrate how these narratives are much less testimonies of the lived reality rather testimonies expressing doubt of the perceived reality.

Full textThis is a study of the works of Moacyr Scliar and Régine Robin. The writing of Moacyr Scliar mainly focuses on the issue of Jewish immigration to Brazil and on the adaptation and integration into the Brazilian society. He constructs with humor and lightness characters that are often living internal conflicts, trying to constitute themselves an identity composed of traces of memories and the new reality which surrounds them. It is the case of the characters of his works that integrate my corpus, namely, the Centaur in the garden and His majesty of the Indians. The writings of the Quebec-French Régine Robin include several areas of knowledge and follow a trend or a movement of writers in Quebec who favor in their writings an idea of national construction that does not have the country as the center, but rather an identity approach which strengthens and signals the wide cultural and ethnic diversity that makes up Quebec. This is what they call the migrant writing. Our interest mainly focuses on his literary production, namely the novel La Québécoite and his storybook The immense fatigue of Stones. However, her production as a theorist provides complementary elements for the analysis of his literary works, such as The Memory Novel, Kafka, and The Saturated Memory. Régine Robin and Moacyr Scliar have in common the fact of creating in their books an intermediate space between facts and fiction, and also to present expressions of the American community of Jewish origin. In this way, are intertwined in their works a national dimension, a regional dimension and a transnational community dimension

Full textThe existence of the poet Karl Wolfskehl is characterised by the feeling of a double identity, for he is both Jewish and German. The two decisive moments of his poetic vocation are his meeting in 1897 with Stefan George, one of the leaders of German symbolism; he became his faithful friend and devoted disciple. This encounter allowed him to consider his poems as precious material, with no other goal than language per se. The second point is that, due to the outcome of Nazism in Germany in 1933, he had to exile himself to Italy then to New-Zealand, where he stayed until his death in 1948. This exile is at the root of an unprecedented existential crisis and of a renewal in his writing: from a quest of formal perfection he reaches a religious poetry anchored in Judaism assimilated to the persona of Job. The whole work is infused with a mystical tone. Our research aims to try to account for the relationship between poetry and religion in order to characterize the poetic art of the author. We focus on the evolutions of the notion of prophecy in the work of Wolfskehl, so as to deal with both the holderlinian heritage of poeta vates and that of the biblical prophets (Nebiim). By concentrating on the dialogical principle (Buber) and by interpreting the way the literary work transforms the symbols of the Kabbala (Scholem), we will show that the poems are the scene of a dialectic confrontation between the human and the divine, which reveals a hermeneutic of suffering. From a philosophical and historical point of view, we question the identification of the poet with Job in so far as Wolfskehl’s poetry reflects the excess of evil (Nemo) while allowing to interpret the destiny of the Jewish people (Susman)

Full textThe author of 4 Maccabees has combined several sources, the main of which is certainly 2 Maccabees. He did not just reproduce the story of the martyrs of Eleazar and the seven brothers, but rewrote it in depth. We have endeavored to give an account of his editorial work by relying on the model of the four registers (narrative, discursive, argumentative, liturgical) that we have elaborated on this occasion. The theology of 4 Maccabees differs from that of 2 Maccabees : the lexicon of sovereignty is transferred from God to human Reason which, according to representations of late stoicism, is the upper part of the soul, which nevertheless needs a guide, the Jewish Law given by God. In doing so, the author of 4 Maccabees paradoxically justifies a rather traditional view of Judaism by relying on conceptions borrowed from the Greek speaking dominant culture

Full textOur compared study deals with the literary work of Ilse Losa (1913-2006), a German exiled in Portugal, and Samuel Rawet (1929-1984), a Polish immigrant in Brazil, which have adopted Portuguese as writing language. Having arrived in these lusophone countries a few years before the declaration of the Second World War, both share a jewish origin which is expressed in their characters in the form of conflicts between memory and forgetfulness, communitarianism and integration, tradition and cultural performativity. Moreover, their conditions of women and homosexual acted as an inspiration for the construction of a work opposing gender duality in a context of oppression in these host countries : The Salazarist New State (1933-1974) and the military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985). This way, through their personal writings in which the jewish identity and the gender identity are key elements, we can consider the exclusion in a broader way. These authors give us a picture of the brazilian and portuguese societies between the end of the 30’s and beginning of the 80’s, highlighting the power relations between elites and masses. During a period in which the national identity is being built on the basis of the myth of the great empire in Portugal and of multiculturalism in Brazil, Ilse Losa and Samuel Rawet show that the nation is always a narrative

Full textThis thesis aims to explore the theme of identity in the works of three French authors of Jewish origin, whose literary activity extends from the 1960s to the present day: Romain Gary, Georges Perec and Patrick Modiano. The three writers deal differently with the trauma of the Holocaust as a consequence of their different historical experiences: Gary was a hero of the Resistance, Perec survived the Holocaust as a Hidden Child and Modiano was the son of a Jewish collaborator. The theme of the Holocaust recurs in their works as a tormented and intimate interrogation to their origins. The three authors share the experience of being lost and researching into history. The difficult transmission of the memory of the past is accompanied by a problematic re-appropriation of the present. In this thesis, in accordance with Paul Ricœur, identity is conceived as a narrative that reconstructs and deconstructs the self, with no ultimate and clear definition of what it really is. Starting from Freud and the Trauma Studies, I study the relationship between identity and memory, focusing particularly on the principle of repetition as the traumatic result of the autobiographical and historical experiences of the three authors. In the second part of the thesis, following Foucault's studies on the “author-function”, I analyze how the search for personal identity is combined with and nurtured by the creation of an authorial posture and role, in reference to literary corpus of the three authors. In the third part, repetition is analyzed as an instrument of introjection of otherness, therefore considering each writer as an intertext of pre-existing words by other authors. Can rewriting and repetition be ‘‘form-sense’’ (H. Meschonnic) of the search for identity? Yes, provided that they are performed as aesthetic variations on a leading autobiographical theme

Full textMeshiv Devarîm Nekhohîm, The Book of Correct Answer is has been written by Rabbi Yacov ben Sheshet who lived in Spain, in Gerona, Catalunia probably in 1245. The work deals with theosophical kabbalah but it is principally a controversy against Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Ma'âmar Yiqawû ha-Mayîm : Discourse Concerning the Drawing together of the Waters (Genesis, 1, 9), which has been complieted in the year 1221. Samuel Ibn Tibbon lived in southern France, in Languedoc; he was a philosopher who translated Maïmonides' Guide of the Perplexed from Arab to Hebrew. Yacov ben Sheshet's book is a controversy against rationalism, opposing faith to reason. The kabbalist states that God created the universe de novo, ex- nihilo. The divine Providence acts in the sub-lunar and in the celestial world as well. God himself gave to Israel, His people the precepts of His law, the Torah. Ibn Tibbon is charged with thinking that the world is eternal ; the divine Providence is too far from it to exert any influence. The precepts are mere social laws; they are necessary for human health, good deeds and morality. Prayer is spiritual meditation and not – according to the kabbalist - a dialogue with God, praise and request for what is needed in every day life. God created everything by Himself. Man stands as a microcosm, the celestial world being the macrocosm. God is transcendent and He is perceived through His manifestation in the universe, thanks to the ten sefirot which are God's substance. The terrestrial universe is destroyed after seven millenaries (theory of apocatastasis). Human soul transmigrates from human to human body: metensomatosis. Deads resurrect with their own body. Man is able to approach God closely in the debeqût. Israel destiny is not related to the stars, but only to divine Will, prayer, learning and repentance. The Book of Correct Answer is a work of theosophic kabbalah, it also includes gnostic ideas from the Book of Clarity and notions about the part played by Hebraic letters in the world creation and also neo-platonic and Aristotelian ideas inherited from Arab philosophy

Full textThis thesis attempts to analyze the references to Racine found in the writings of Proust. Efforts are targeted to discuss how and why the references are integrated into Proust's work, and what effects they have on the central motifs of the novel, "À la Recherche du temps perdu". We should think about the question from three perspectives : that of the language, of the characters and of the story. We note that the references to Racine are used for theatrical dramas of the novel. Consequently, we approached not only the playwrights - the narrator, Albertine, Charlus and Mme des Laumes- , but also their dramas, established on their imaginary reading of Racine's tragedies, Esther, Athalie, Bérénice, Andromaque and Phèdre. With the eyes of these playwrights, the world appears complex : the readers are between two or three worlds of which they do not arrive at knowing which is true. We consider also how the references to Racine function : they prescribe the gestures and the look of the characters in the novel. By these references, the space also is transformed into the scenes of the theatre. The verses of Racine, whose original tonality was solemn and pure, and who were intended for a sacred and tragic scene, are used in the roman for a profane and comic piece. An analysis is focused on this process, which brings to light the comic and profane aspect hidden in the tragedies as well as the tragic and sacred side in the comedies

Full textThe use of Arabic language, in Arabic characters, by the Jews between the end of the XIXth century and the end of the XXth century is one aspect of the long-standing relationship between the Jews and the Arabic language, and constitutes a distinctive linguistic phenomenon which has so far been little researched. In order to outline it and describe it, and building on Shmuel Moreh’s pioneering work in Israel, we have established a bibliographic corpus of some 654 texts and works published by Jewish authors in the Arabic language in Arabic characters. Its analysis has enabled us to highlight the limited extent of this phenomenon. First of all, from a chronological point of view: although the first reference at our disposal dates back to 1847 and the last one to 2008, most of this literature was produced between 1930 and 1970. Secondly, from a geographical point of view: this phenomenon is associated mainly with Egypt, Iraq and later Israel. In this regard, it must be noted that the phenomenon was exported to Israel after the departure of the Jews from the Arab countries principally during the 1950s, and involves almost exclusively émigré writers. Thirdly, because it involves only a small number of individuals, out of the total number of authors listed in our corpus. However, despite all these considerations, this literature is characterised by a certain degree of dynamism. This can be seen first of all in the heterogeneity of the genres observed, spanning poetry, theatre, novels, short stories, essays and journalism, and in its employ of different varieties of Arabic, such as Classical Arabic or local dialects

Full textThis dissertation focuses on Mahzor Vitry, the major sources for Jewish liturgy in Northern France. Written at the end of the 11th century by a pupil of rashi, Simhah ben Samuel of Vitry, this book is considered to be a liturgical-halakhic compendium, rather than a traditionnal mahzor. Ten surviving of Mahzor Vitry produced between the 12 th and 14th centuries have been identified so far. The main goal of this study is to examine this collectionof manuscripts, to descripe their sctructure, their textual transmissions and dual nature, not only as a prayer book, but also as a study book. An expansion in the breath of these manuscripts is visible from the first half of the 13th century onward, when texts pertaining to Jewish law, custom, ethics, midrash, science, mysticism, as well as premonitory and calendrical texts, are integrated as literary addenda into the liturgical-halakhic core of theses manuscripts. Furthemore, a comparative analysis of six additionnal Ashkenazi Demonstartes that the dual nature of these books is not limited to Mahzor vitry, but can also be found in the literary genre of liturgical-halakhic encyclopaedias, unique to the geographical region of Ashkenaz until the 15th century. Subsequently, inquiries on the impact of ancient Jewish mysticism and the layout of Christian manuscripts on the Mahzor Vitry manuscripts are also made, thus presenting this work in its historical and literary context, as a landmark of intellectual creativity in medieval Ashkenaz

Full textThe Sefer Ha-ʻIqqarim of Joseph Albo which try to determine the basic principles of Judaism is part of a reflection that began with Sadia Gaon, which continued with Maimonides, Gersonides and Crescas Duran. To allow the reader to form his own opinion, we wanted to introduce and translate the work of Joseph Albo. Translating the whole of the Sefer Ha-ʻIqqarim exceeding the framework of our project, we simply translate the first treaty which presents the conception of Joseph Albo on fundamentals and its reduction to three fundamental principles which are the belief in the existence of God, the belief in a divine revelation, and the belief in retribution. The three following treaties being only a deepening of the first, we have translated an additional chapter to see and understand how Joseph Albo develops the theme already opened in the first treaty. This is the third treaty that develops the second fundamental principle of belief in the divine revelation

Full textMy doctoral thesis explores the relationship between literature and historical witnessing. By focusing on the works of Primo Levi, Aharon Appelfeld, and Philip Roth (authors who relate in very different ways the trauma of the Holocaust), my research aims at investigating the enmeshment of aesthetic and epistemological issues. My comparative exploration of these authors is motivated by and allows for a conceptual layering of the problem along three distinct research axes : (1) each author maintains a different degree of autobiographical involvement with the genocidal facts he evokes, ranging from maximum directness (Levi) to an oblique post hoc distance (Roth) ; (2) each author thematizes the problem by framing fictional situations in which characters have to cope with the plastic tension of narrative recollection ; (3) there is a twofold factual link between the three authors consisting in (a) explicit or covert intertextual quotations (e.g. Levi and Appelfeld become characters in Roth’s "Operation Shylock") and, more significantly, (b) an under-investigated circular correspondence in which each of them discusses at length the gains and losses of (literary) historical witnessing. The core of my project, therefore, is grounded in the long-distance conversation on the reworking of memories between Aharon Appelfeld, Philip Roth and Primo Levi – a three-way conversation that perforce ceased with Levi’s death in 1987

Full textAt the crossroads between two centuries, Salome plays the part of a mandatory commonplace in art and literature. Nevertheless, next to the femme fatale and just as unavoidable, stands a fragile and benevolent form of feminity, molded in the cast of the fairytale princess and theGothic novel heroine, but inspired above all by the Virgin and Martyr of the edifying novel, be it antique or contemporary. As it might be discrete enough to become unreadable, this archetype's benevolence cannot be legitimated without a sacrifice. The religious meaning of the scapegoat remains just as obvious and as efficient in the novels' narrative structure, as well as in the detailsthrough which such characters are built. Marial, magdalenian and farylike characters must undergo the same destruction trial, through which their edifying meaning becomes a litteral building-up up meaning, by juxtaposing dissimilar and yet efficien aesthetic elements which turn the character into an allegory of artistic creation. By linking mid-19th century and the 1920es and by weaving a link between the most famous of Baudelaire's heirs and the ones whose name is just merging out of oblivion, the purpose of this study is to analyse how much these representations of benevolent femininity must be seen as a permanence, as a monument – or as a monumentum – where late-19th century will not only gaze a the death of a declining era, but concentrate all what will be used to theorize idealist artistic movements on the edge of the 20th century

Full textWhat are the main characteristics of a theology stemming from a mystic experience ? This thesis attempts to answer this question by examining an individual case, that of The Showings of Julian of Norwich (C14th- C15th). The Long Text of this opus enables us to observe a development in the fields of anthropology, Christology and Trinitarian theology. Firmly rooted in her experience of life, Julian’s theological discourse is interwoven with the emotions drawn from that experience. Julian speaks about God in speaking to God and in establishing with her « fellow Christians » an emotional and noetic community. But a mystical experience does not automatically give birth to a mystical theology as understood by Pseudo-Dionysius and Jean Gerson. We are rather in the presence of a prophetical and visionary theology that is fully conscious of its partial, limited, and contextualised nature. We find ourselves at a turning-point in the history of theology and spirituality, which sees the emergence of two separate fields that of scholastic theology and that of spirituality, where previously patristic theology bore witness to a profound unity. The different methodologies used in this research are in the service of a study within two distinct fields : those of theology and the history of spirituality

Full textThis thesis offers crossed readings of urban memory in Dora Bruder from Patrick Modiano and La Québécoite from Régine Robin. Both stories depict narrators heirs of the Holocaust memory who roam the cities of Paris and Montreal. The city is a space of intelligibility whose signs are meaningful to the observer. Using the semiotics of the city (Benjamin), the practices of the city (De Certeau) and taking into account the specific position of both narrators on the issues of testimony and writing, this study seeks to explore how the city spreads the Jewish memory while at the same time contributing to its inevitable loss. The Second World War took partly place in Paris, which bears the traces in a high density of memory, while Montreal, a city where Holocaust events did not unfold, is hosting memories otherwise within its urban space. In both stories, the city is necessary to the writing of the breakdown and loss, which reveal themselves both in the background (urban destruction, repeated failures, loss of identity) and form (question of the story, generic hybridity.)

Full textPolemics have played an important role in the reception of Mordecai Richler’s novels in French Quebec. Contrary to the common idea that this opposition has prevented Quebec’s critics from reading the novelist’s work, Richler’s articles and essays on nationalism are the starting point of its reception. Whether it has been published before or just after the polemics, Richler’s writing is evaluated for the accuracy of his depiction of communities. The progressive rejection of a strictly French conception of Quebec’s identity opens the way to contemporary readings of the writer’s production. Still, these new readings are mostly attached to a conception of the collective, opposing an inclusive portrayal of Quebec’s identity, ready to let in the old enemy, to a uniquely French perspective on the imaginary. The mechanisms of this repatriation can be read in parallel with conflicting identities in Richler’s novels. In Son Of A Smaller Hero (1955), Noah Adler tries to define himself as a human being and to find his own moral standards by rejecting his origins. However, this escape path can only lead to failure and the main character learns that his ideal of freedom can only happen by a reinterpretation of his heritage rather than by its denial. Barney’s Version (1997) is, in part, the story of the education of a late writer. If Barney Panofsky attacks every collective imposture in the novel, his incapacity to be completely honest with himself and to accept a sincere creative activity and defence of his beliefs leads him to be alienated from those he truly loves. This situation leaves the narrator with an unfinished story, which can only be told by his successors. In both novels, the self definition of the character’s identity can only happen by a hermeneutical re-appropriation of his heritage that is similar to francophone readings of Richler’s work by its relation to the trace, the collective and illegitimacy.
