Rezbanyay, Élisabeth. "Les modèles féminins dans les romans pour filles de l'Amérique victorienne." Bordeaux 3, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998BOR30058.
Full textSo as to appreciate the degree of realism of the characters, the study of the novels comes within the scope of a social and cultural context, presented in a first part highlighting the condition of life and the specific environment in which women and children were confined (home), as well as the educational theories of the time, and the place granted to children's literature in victorian american families. The analysis of the novels tries then to bring out the representations of the feminine "nature" and roles ; it first studies characterization, that of the heroines, who serve as models to the girl readers, but also that of the other feminine characters, who are models for the heroines ; then, the situation of these feminine characters, the roles assigned to the heroines, are examined, as they reveal what place women wished, in real life, to occupy. These novels written by women for future women inform us about women's conception of their own "nature", and show us to what extent they accepted to spread the theories defined by their society. As cultural documents, these novels are evidence of the changes in mentalities between 1850 and 1900, which gave women and children more self-assurance and freedom of action. But considering these texts only as reflections of their time would limit their significance, as they also have a didactic function. The blending of realism and idealism found in the feminine models proposed as examples to the girl readers echoes the double function of these novels, both descriptive and propagating a "feminine", but not "feminist", ideology, which remains victorian in its attachment to traditional values, and in its trust in woman's moral superiority
GOLOBOFF, GERARDO M. "Dependance et autonomie dans la litterature hispano-americaine du xxeme siecle." Paris 3, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA030104.
Full textThe present thesis is an attempt to establish a line of thought in literature by placing all the emphasis on the texts in order to discover the predominating ideology of the works, the authors' conceptions, the ideas that are either expressed or latent. It is an ideological work, inasmuch as its aim is to establish the conceptual values (and hence the social and political values) underlying the hispano-american literature of this century; butit is a work which examines the texts themselves and their literary significance rather than authors' opinions or comments. Based on those ideas and methodology, this thesis seeks to show that the literary autonomy of spanish-speaking america has been created this century through works that transform the language and the construction of poetry and prose, regardless of the ideas which those authors support, or say or think they support
Fleurdorge, Claude. "Texte narratif et fonctionnement intertextuel : lectures de la nouvelle americaine comme fable theologique." Montpellier 3, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989MON30002.
Full textThis study is to be read at the same time as a theoretical reflection and as the interpretation of a selection of short stories where theoretical research is both applied and-reflexively-pursued. On one of its planes, the theoretical space in which this research lies is situated in the field of narratological studies, particularly those concerning the narrative voice and the point(s) of view it assumes or takes over. The definition it adopts of the narrative text not only as a place of fictional representations but also as one where an extra-fictional meaning of these representations is worked out has led to certain modifications to this theory, particularly the distinction on the level of the "narrative signifier" between the text, taken as the result of the act of writing of an implied author or "scripteur" (conceived mainly as the construction of a reader ascribing to him an intentionality which is, in fact, the result of his own act of reading), and the mere realization of this text as the discourse of a fictional agency. Complementarily to these modifications, the hermeneutical orientation of the approach determines another pole of the theoretical space in which it lies: that concerning the ways of producing meaning, foremost among which, the conception of a text as the locus where a dual intentional design is built, has led to the placing of the intertextual mode. This attention focused on intertextuality as the privileged mode of producing meaning has repercussions on the choice of short stories: to limit the inherent resistance tp definition of every intertextual corpus, the texts chosen to illustrate this type of sense-production and whose parabolic functioning is worked out belong, openly or not, to that prevailing trend of american literature and culture represented by the puritan tradition
GUILLAUME, ISABELLE MARIE. "Le roman d'aventures depuis treasure island." Paris 3, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999PA030006.
Full textA comparative analysis of treasure island, moonfleet by j. M. Falkner, les clients du bon chien jaune and l'ancre de misericorde by pierre mac orlan, heart of darkness by j. Conrad, and the sea-wolf by j. London has established the laws of the adventure novel. The spatiotemporal framework is defined by the actions of the hero: a repeated quest for escape that is a rejection of immobility and boredom, whether this be due to confinement or observance of imposed limits. This quest is accompanied by a gesture of betrayal that plays a role in making discontinuity a law of existence. Transgression and betrayal underscore the singularity of the heroes, who find affirmation in this distinction. Their engagement in the action determines a requirement: the self-control of both the unconscious and the body. The adventure enables the definition of a personal identity. The adventure novel emphasizes that the action constitutes the hero's opportunity to secure the approval of the other and be recognized as singular. Such insight into the importance of transgression and betrayal eliminates any possibility of an ideology specific to the adventure novel, which focuses solely on the question of the development of the self. The ethical emerges as the aesthetic: the adventure is the mirror that the hero holds before himself. This aesthetic dimension is made evident by novels in which the narrator recounts his adventures in a retrospective mode. These stories are built on a plan to speak about the self. However, the modalities of the stories bear witness to the workings of dishonesty in the confession. Both a sentiment of guilt and a temptation to construct the story as an apology for the self come into play, suggesting a contradictory line of force. The scope of this work of definition is provided by the establishment of a corpus of adventure novels published since treasure island
Zuppinger, Renaud. "Texte phatique et realisme fantastique dans la nouvelle americaine du 19eme siecle." Paris 8, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA080463.
Full textA new identity is achieved at spedific moments in the history of nations and of cultures. This dissertation attempts to show this phenomenon at work in the united states of america, still very young in the 19th century. A quest for a new cultural identity led writers such as hawthorne of melville to elaborate a new kind of short story in which everyday realities are depicted in almost fantastid terms. The act of speech that communicates this process is a claim for the acknowledgement of a new identity, where the stress is laid on the contact thus establishep rather than on a given message. To define this kind of texts i borrow the word "phatic" from r. Jakobson. These "phatic" texts strip complex european myths down to the essential and show them in their common, say, trivial features. They play on the uncertain limit that lies between fiction and non-fiction, raising in so doing, several ontological problems. This tends to show the high degre of consciousness which the writers had then as to the impact of fiction on our daily life, thus rejcting in the offing the conventional role of moral issues. Hence my notion of "posture" (in french) meaning the reader's mental attitude as he stands erect on the crest of an everchanging wave (or dune) the slopes of which are the fiction being read and the reader's hic et nunc. The first part of the dissertation presents and expounds the above principles and observations, with a few illustrations, whereas the second part consists in a closer or more minute reading of selected texts which have led to the discovery of the aforementioned phenomena. This practice allowed me to place their study in our own time and place
Diarra, Amara. "Le nationalisme noir aux etats-unis et l'image de l'afrique dans la litterature afro-americaine contemporaine." Paris 3, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA030079.
Full textWe have been trying to show in this dissertation that africa has never ceased to have a major role to play in the history of blacks in the united states, as a cultural component which guarantees their specific identity in the first place, and in the second place, as a reference of nationality that they claim as openly as the refusal of their integration in the american mainstream is implacable. Their claim of membership of an african world has gone through the times, from the initial attempts to emigrate to africa to the recent and more realistic pan-africanist trend. But their endeavour to break away from the traditional integrationist feelings seems to have been painful and the identification with africa is often coupled with ambivalence as in the case of the novelists who very often remain dependant on the traditional euro-american cliches of the primitive african. This being one of the reasons why their image of africa seems less precise than the one presented in the poetry. Indeed, the black poets have developed a more coherent image of africa which evolves as follow: they have reasserted the value of the past of their african ancestors, glorified the beauty of blackness, before they can claim an african identity, as they feel and present the problems of nowadays africa as their own. This celebration of an african personality by the afro-american writers, though it may reveal some romanticism, cannot be disregarded as a temporary extravaganza, for its echo reaching as far as the african continent itself, has helped to re-establish the links of kinship which had been broken for a long time, leading the afro-americans through a major turning point in their long and painful search of an identity

Full textTHE INCREASING NUMBER OF YOUNG AMERICANS IN THE 60S, THEIR BECOMING AWAKENED TO SOCIAL AND POLITICAL FACTS, THE IMPORTANT PART OF THE MEDIA IN THEIR LIFE AND SPECIALLY THEIR BEING THE ONES THREATENED BY THE DRAFT ACCOUNT FOR A CLOSE STUDY OF THEIR REACTIONS WHEN FACING THE VIETNAM WAR. THE YOUNG CIVILIANS WERE THE FIRST TO REACT AGAINST IT, AS EARLY AS 1963, BUT EFFECTIVE PROTEST WAS MORE SPECIALLY RAISED - UNTIL THE LATE 60S - BY A MINORITY OF MIDDLE-CLASS STUDENTS. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR THE LATTER TO WIN OVER THE WORKING- CLASS YOUTH - THOUGH THEY WERE MORE LIKELY TO BE DRAFTED - BECAUSE OF THEIR STRONG PATRIOTISM AND PREJUDICES. THAT SOCIAL ORIGIN OF PROTEST GAVE IT PARTICULAR FEATURES, SUCH AS MORALISM, NONVIOLENCE (AT FIRST) A LACK OF ORGANIZATION AND LEADERS AND A CERTAIN PROPEN- SITY TO THEATRICAL AND SYMBOLIC ACTIONS. . . ALL THAT ACCOUNTED FOR BOTH THE strength AND THE WEAKNESS OF THE MOVEMENT. A CHRONOLOGICAL SURVEY OF EVENTS FROM 1963 TO 1970 WITH, FOR SOME OF THEM, A DEEPER STUDY, SHOWS THE IMPORTANT PART PLAYED BY YOUTH IN THE ANTIWAR MOVEMENT IN SPITE OF THE SMALL NUMBER OF THOSE WHO PROTESTED EFFECTIVELY. IT ALSO HELPS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE EVOLUTION OF YOUNG AMERICANS' ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE WAR WAS AFFECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT'S REACTIONS, PUBLIC OPINION AND THE MEDIA-REPORTS. ROUGHLY SPEAKING, MODERATE STYLE PROTEST (WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE OR CIVIL DISOBE- DIENCE) GOT MORE SUPPORT AND THE ANTI-DRAFT ISSUE - FOR MORE OR LESS SELFISH REASONS - REMAINED THE MOST POPULAR. THE ANTIWAR MOVEMENT WAS HELPED BY OTHER PROTESTS CONCERNING MORE SPECIALLY CAMPUS UNREST AND RACIAL MATTERS, BUT IN ITS TURN, IT BROUGHT THEM ORGANIZATION, TACTICS AND CONTINUITY. THEIR HAVING LIVED THROUGH SUCH EVENTS - WHETHER AS DEMONSTRATORS OR NOT-DEEPLY AFFECTED THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE AS THEY WERE GROWING UP IN THE 70S AND INFLUENCED THE OPINIONS THEY WERE ASKED TO GIVE ON FOREIGN POLICY AND ON THE POLITICAL AND ELECTORAL SYSTEM

Full textThe arab military defeat of 1967 resulted in the emergence of a new type of children's literature in the arab world. The subject-matter of this literature is more topical, the sources more diversified, the themes more appealing, the form more modern, the substance richer. Hense the need for us to analyse its specific features. This investigation has made us aware of the necessity of throwing into relief the social conditions, the psycho-educational and aesthetic aspects which contribute to weaving a relation between discourse and society, author and child. The study of sources and themes has led us to identify the historical influences: the impact of islam, that of the nationalist ideologies and the values they propound as well as the social imperatives. Our research confirms the following hypothesis: children's literature is a literature made-to-measure. It further shows a discrepancy, a "lopsidedness" between the author's intention and the child's response. In order to circumvent censorship, the writer resorts to fantasy, to a symbolic bestiary or to an antropomorphic presentation of nature. As a conclusion we can venture the following exploration: besides its more overt and numerous objectives, arabic children's literature has been produced essentially for the purpose of giving a convenient alibi to authors. They entrust their readers with a mission which they, adults, have been unable to fulfil : i. E. Building up a great motherland and a new modern democratic arab society
Porcar, Marie-Hélène. "Un mot pour l'absence : une lecture de la mort dans la litterature de jeunesse contemporaine." Toulouse 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997TOU20103.
Full textMany albums and novels of contemporary children literature arc based on death : the disappearance of a beloved being, animal or human, initiates a fiction branded by a gap. The children-readers strongly react to it, summonning up all fantasy activities upon this sign of absence echoing their own mournings. For reading about death revives old losses : death, as a sign empty of any precise erference, offers its emptiness to the construction of a mcaning that every narrative makes up, and on which every reader can hang their own references. The language, as well as the narrative, builds itself on a primal emptiness, installed at the heart of creation : dcath has a close link with literature, children literature aswell. The way dealt with in books for young children shows a great inventiveness in manipulating simple devices signifying absence. The study of a sample of albums emblematic of a certain process can show a link between writing and psyche. Death takes a hold on the readers in the place of their wounds and weaves a soothing connivance filling the gap opened by a loss. Therefore reading about it, like playing, has to do with happiness: it gives a basis on which everyone can work at their own building. By saying something different from what it shows, death induces artistic creation and urges the reader to create too

Full textAll the literary critics are unanimous in appreciating the writting art of flaubert, all our study, therefore, aims to prove that flaubert attached an utmost care to his style. The stylistic method of leo spitzer, as it was applied to the study of the style of flaubert work, contributed to bring out the essential features and the constancy of the style of a writer who wants to be immortal : economical, synthetic, in brief, suggestive style
Menu, Michel. "Jeunes et vieux dans la litterature grecque archaique et classique." Paris 4, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040120.
Full textThis study, based on literary sources, analyzes the various authors and genres in chronological order from homer to thucydides. Concrete portraits of young and old people in their constant relationships prevail over an abstract appreciation of each age taken separately. The tradition of a hierarchy, in keeping with the rules of nature, implies the legal institution of a code defined by the principles of seniority and initiation. The description of individual features gives way to an analysis of the sociological part played by the various age-groups. However, lexical variations, interaction between all the aspects of civilisation and the alternate effects of set phrases or proverbs on one side and historical dynamism on the other reveal the complexity and relativity inherent to the theme. Archaic and classical literature provide permanent references: anthropomorphism, stereotypes concerning physical or psychological characteristics and
Poslaniec, Christian. "L'évolution de la littérature de jeunesse, de 1850 à nos jours au travers de l'instance narrative." Paris 13, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA131021.
Full textThe hypothesis assumed in this study is the following one: children's literature is constantly influenced by two antagonistic postulations leading in two opposite directions. The first one, called closed postulation, implies a reader who's first of all supposed to understand what he reads, and has to be taught. The second one, or open postulation, relates to a reader able to contribute to meaning, through an interactive relation with the text. After discussing that hypothesis and introducing methodology and authoritative source, the first part gives a survey of children's literature from 1850 to nowadays, in france. The second part is a statistical account of the narrative manner development, in a corpus of 350 titles. That shows the opposition between the third-person narrator and the narrator-character. A complementary part surveys the narrative manner development in a qualitative point of view. The fourth part studies the evolution of childhood representations, in order to prove, as for the narrative manners, that two main representations are opposed. The fifth part describes the antagonistic structures shared by both postulations, relating to narrative manner, characters, literary genre, message, writing, and intertextual reference. The last part surveys the contemporary children's literature field, and checks its protagonist's situation according to the double postulation

Full textThe objective of the dissertation is to analyse the influence of the education in the development of the writers' creative personality. We refer to the generation of those french writers who acquired education between 1870 - 1914. Then the curriculum of grammar schools remained largely inchanged. Fifty one authors under examination shared the same set of ideas derived from the school curriculum. We have examined nine prose writers and poets chosen according to the following criteria: literary fame, ways of acquiring education, and the number of works dealing with childhood. Subsenquently, we discuss andre gide, francois mauriac, roger martin du gard, pierre drieu la rochelle, francis jammes, georges duhamel, marcel pagnol, alain-fournier and louis-ferdinand celine. The dissertation examines the school system from the point of view of its subject - the student. The analysis concentrates on various factors of gaining knowledge by the future writer: the child's social and cultural milieu, family upbringing, especially public school system. We present the influence of the teachers, of the subjects taught, as well as the role of other students, often decisive in the development of the future writer. The period under consideration reaches the first literary work published by the given writer. The influence of the school years can be felt not only in the formation of the creative personality but also in the subject and form of his work. Accepting or rejecting the programme of humanist studies taught in grammar schools, the writers seem refer to the moral and aesthetic values propagated in those studies

Full textYoung people are privileged characters in black african novels : they are dynamic elements and central figures in a great number of narratives. After trying to define their interest from the viewpoint of the novelists. My study investigates the whole range of qualities they are endowed with in order to meet the readers' expectations and specifically fit the essential parts of accusing heralds and messianic heroes they are often made to play. Examining the opinions and the behavior of various types of young people in relation to the situations and problems dealt with in novels shows that the young, and especially the progressists, represent the conscience and the hopes of the people on whose behalf and for whom they speak and act. Through their words, their actions and the predominant viewpoint they are constantly made to voice, they definitely appear as the announcers or the vectors of the novelist's ideological vision
D'antonio, Patrizia. "L’umanismo nell’opera narrativa e divulgativa di Alberto Manzi." Thesis, Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019UBFCH031.
Full textAlberto Manzi is a key figure in the panorama of the development of Italian language and culture. The analysis of his biography and his writing highlights the humanism that characterizes all his literary works and his pedagogical thinking. A fil rouge that underlies his life and professional experiences, an urgency of renewal that results in a concrete commitment against injustice and ignorance, in the expression of a new paideia, in politically engaged writing.He wrote many novels (Grogh storia di un castoro, Collodi award, translated in 20 languages; Orzowei, honored at the Andersen award translated in 32 languages), tales, articles, informative writings; he developed TV and radio programs for children, parents and teachers. Narrator, teacher, journalist, teachers trainer, ranging from natural sciences to poetry, he could practically embody a figure of the "Renaissance".He is still remembered as ‘Maestro degli italiani’ for the 10-year TV program Non è mai troppo tardi which received the UN award for its important contribution in the fight against illiteracy in the Sixties.Afterwards he taught for years to the Natives in South America, helping them in their fight for their rights. That inspired him to write the trilogy: La luna nelle baracche, El Loco, E venne il sabato. In these works, the narration becomes a song of denunciation and an act of love: the urgency to give voice to a people, to humanity.In the first part of this work, after having highlighted the links between the biography of the author and his humanist vision, and show the status quo of criticism of the author, the reception of Manzi’s work was treated from a theoretical point of view. Then the question of timeliness of Manzi’s novels has been approached, in relation to the general problem of reading at school. A summary of the interdisciplinary project that I carried out in a network of schools, in order to verify the reception of Manzi nowadays, completes this part.In the second part of this work, several novels and informative writings compose the corpus which has been analysed in specific chapters. From this analysis, the recurrent elements of Manzi’s poetry have been extrapolated and elaborated in a separate chapter.The third part of this research include theoretical reflection on translating and adapting, on the role of the adult as intermediary in the selection and reading of novels, on the lisibilité, and also a comparative analysis of some French versions of Manzi’s novels. From this work of analysis and that on fortune, we also suggest a new translation more faithful to the style and integrity of the original texts, in view of a possible and desirable new edition of Manzi’s novels.From this analysis emerges the figure of a writer who perfectly harmonizes imagination and ethics-politically engagement: this allows the author to create stories very well appreciated by the readers who are at the same time stimulated to reflect on the theme of the story. Manzi surprises, motivates to read, educates, through the magic sphere of art and fantasy. His novels are harmoniously well built between the pedagogical aim and the aesthetic result, so they resist the test of time and encourage us to confirm the thesis of the inclusion of his works among the great classics

Full textFrench-Spanish bilingualism is an expression of Hispano-Americain literature search for autonomy and legitimacy in the period 1890-1950. The work of Jose-Maria de Heredia, Nicanor della Rocca Vergalo, Ventura Garcia Calderon, Armando Godoy, Victor Manuel Rendon, Jose Maria Cantilo, Adolfo Costa du Rels, Vicente Huidobro, Cesar Moro and Alfredo Gangotena show the importance of this pratice. Either neglected or considered as exceptions of variable significance, these authors participate in a collective mouvement aiming at the formation of an Hispano- Americain literary language through contact with French, both linguistic and imaginary. Several cultural and historical factors, such as the spread of panlatinism ideology, justify this literary endeavour, which reflects the symbolic domination that France exerted on the young Hispano-American republics. Our work displays the main historical and literary elements which prove the existence of a bilingual tradition, insisting on the double reception of these authors. It also intends to understand reasons and modalities of language-switching, as well as litterary manifestations of duality, which results from the symbolic, cultural and grammatical gap between two different linguistic worlds. It examines, at last, bilingual writing specificity by studying interferences, self-translations, and the different aesthetic projects which attempt to materialize a “third language” between Spanish and French
