Baros, Linda Maria. "Le Mythe de la métamorphose érotique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040017.
Full textThis thesis associates the study of the myth of metamorphosis and the analysis of the love faculty in order to emphasize transformations produced under the favourable or harmful incidence of eros. To cast a new light on mythocritical theories and to propose an innovative approach to the erotomorphic myth through a spectrum and a fractal analysis of its components constitute our essential objectives. The texts studied in this frame belong to French, English, Belgian, Argentinian, Romanian and Flemish literatures of the XXth and the XXIst centuries, with the exception of the fairy-tales about the animal bride. The diversity of this corpus permits to join comparative reasoning with an opening-up of the research field through original translations and literary works that intermingle modernity and remotivation of the mythic tradition. The chapters of the thesis, Preliminaries to the Study of Myth, Erotomorphic Sublimations, A Healing Love, Between Eros and Thanatos, Alienations and Erotomorphic Revolutions, present the myth of the controlled, involuntary or transferential erotomorphosis as a literary verbal envelope which encrypts the internal and external amorous reality of the human being, with the aim of revealing his true skin-ego. Metamorphosis thus appears like a material auto-representation of the ego sensorium. Accomplishing this erotogenesis means cancelling the corporal discontinuity involved in all transformations, by conferring to the metamorphe a body that matches his psychic and physical amorous ideal. The transition therefore allows passage from dissociation to a perfect fractal consonance between the corporal superstructure and the infrastructure of the heart

Full textAfter a discussion of the meanings and definitions of several central terms, such as eros, erotica, obscene, and pornographic, this thesis provides an impression of the large field of erotica which circulated in eighteenth-century england and america. Its approach had to be interdisciplinary because the erotic writings from the age of enlightenment include not only literature, but also scientific treatises, para-medical works, political satire, and erotic art. The various chapters of this study deal with the erotic works produced in the areas of medicine, quackery, and sexology (i); anti-religious works of an erotic or obscene character (ii); satirical texts attacking aristocrats (iii); reports of trials for adultery as a form of the "chronique scandaleuse" (iv); marriage and the war of the sexes (v); erotic and pornographic prose and poetry (vi and vii); graphic erotica (viii); and the erotic writings imported and produced in early america (ix). The results of the research suggest that the idea of the enlightenment, despite a growing and remarkable interest in the discourse on sex, made rather little progress at the level of popular erotica. There was even a sort of osmosis of sexual cliches between eighteenth-century erotica and high literature. This osmosis provided the basis for the development of what could be termed a "mentalite sexuelle. " the detailed and extensive bibliography, with several sections listing classical, german, french, and anglo-american sources, as well as the illustrations of this study (volume ii) make it a fundamental work that will facilitate future research in the area of eighteenth-century erotica
Chevaillier, Flore. "L'écriture du corps : une érotique du langage dans la fiction contemporaine américaine." Orléans, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008ORLE1092.
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
Shcherbakova, Anna. "Éros, corps, sexualité dans la littérature russe contemporaine." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016GREAL025/document.
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

Full textThe functioning of the Roman society was based partially on the distinction of genre and social group. It was particularly strong in the eroticism. Over all the social groups was situated that of the free men whose sexual role was the one of dominating - penetrating. Actually, the Roman type eroticism can be defined as being phallocentric. By opposition, all other categories of persons formed the group of dominated penetrated. Nevertheless, the degree of submission of each was determined by its position on the social scale. The stout women had access to an eroticism restricts who was procreative. Other women, to a certain extent, could be used by the men as instruments of pleasure. So, the prostitution always had an important role in Rome. The prostitutes had an important mission. But, all the sexual practices were not allowed and if, contrary of the matronae, the prostitutes could adduce forms of sexuality for not being pregnant, the practices considered perverse (scopophilia, exhibitionism, agalmatophilia, etc.) were banished, according to the morality, of all the beds
Defaye, Christelle. "Julien Gracq, texte et sexe : lecture d'une aporie érotique." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BOR30027/document.
Full textReading a fiction by Gracq feels similar to lovers’ delight. To become a Gracq reader, you must accept to be delighted, captured and enchanted all at once. The hermeneutic dispossession experienced through Gracq’s fiction is clearly erotic. No matter how secondary, thin and sporadic, the theme of eroticism may be, it seems to be running throughout the lost profile of the text. All set up and cleared of its substance, the sexual scene disappears from the eyes of the reader-voyeur whose expectation is frustrated. Fiction manages to cover up sex by setting desire within the plot and the reading. The presence-absence of erotic fantasy, as stereotyped and obsessive as it may be, is best consecrated at the crossroads of three impossible matters: sex, women and death. Eroticism by Gracq turns out to be a void around which the reader is waltzing and that the writing manages to grasp. Is the path of eroticism aporetic? It is not that this path is a dead end but rather that the reader is invited to advance and digress in this aporia. Eroticism is always moved, buried within the palimpsest of the landscape. With his successive unmoulding and moulding of words, it becomes clear that language is eroticised with Gracq. He doesn’t picture sex, he features it in his text until it pleases him –all this in the other, that is to say the reader’s eyes. In Julien Gracq’s work, the libidinal issue of literarity is at stake: Gracq’s eroticism transfigures flesh into a pulpit. From sex to text, the author takes on a posture of seduction. The text forms a screen between him and the Other, that is to say the reader. Sex has become text, limen, a border, an essential in-between. It has become the hymen, a touching space between one and the other. The meeting, though often portrayed as impossible, can then happen

Full textTouching the fields of contrastive literature as well as descriptive translation studies, this research examines the microtextual elements that shape the sex scenes found in erotic romances, both in English and in French, as well as the strategies used by translators. It focuses on the structural, syntactic and lexical elements contributing to the erotic and emotional feeling of specific scenes from the American novel Bared to You, by Sylvia Day, its French translation Dévoile-moi and the French novel Hotelles : Chambre un, by Emma Mars, which form a double corpus, containing a comparable corpus (original texts in English and in French) and a translation corpus. Our analysis is primarily based on the characteristics of the modern erotic novel, identified through an overview of the literary traditions that gave it form as well as the social and literary context for its production. The functionalist theories and the concepts of generic code and expectations from readers are also explored. Being one of the first formal analysis of erotic novels, the study reveals the mechanism of popular fiction and the problems erotic romances can present for translators from English to French.

Full textThrough the analysis of eroticism and the way it is used in short tales authored by women of Central America, this thesis demonstrates the significance of the study of the erotic discourse as well as its evolution and the latest trends. In the first chapter- the introduction- we briefly explain the social and historical context of Cen-tral America, in order to draw attention to an area still unknown at the current time. Afterwards, we will intro-duce our method of analysis, the objectives and the consulted sources. In the second chapter we submit a chronology of eroticism in literature which starts by The Song of Songs and finishes by a debate about Gender Studies and the Queer Theory. It is crucial to observe the evolution of eroticism as well as its significance
Quemener, Gaëlle. "Les contes de Benjamin Péret : réinvention poétique d'un genre en contexte surréaliste." Caen, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013CAEN1703.
Full textBased on the desire to shed light on a little-known literary form of surrealism, this thesis studies the tales of Benjamin Péret (1899-1959). These short stories, mostly written during the first half of the twenties, reflect the first poetic concerns of the movement which André Breton officially proclaimed the birth of in 1924. They reveal an imagination influenced by the avant-garde reflections around language on the one hand, and, on the other hand, by Surrealist research on dreams, the unconscious and the marvellous. Péret’s tales are also marked by a burning revolt. With the First World War having ended, a hatred of patriotism, a radical rejection of contemporary society and an aversion to Catholicism are violently expressed whereas child mentality, mythical thought and erotic desire are exalted. I will try to show that the tale is the place of a revolutionary reversal of values as well as a perfect textual space for the expression of fantasy. The structure of traditional genre is subverted by verbal automatism and by poetic images. Thus, the tale becomes a hybrid literary form which combines poetry, stream of consciousness narrative episodes and dreamlike prose
Hölzle, Dominique. "La relation esthétique : sentiment et désir de fiction dans les romans galants et libertins au dix-huitième siècle." Grenoble, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010GRENL010.
Full textAesthetical questions play an important role in the XVIIIth century novels of worldliness. The social codes described in these books are supposed to create a discursive and physical movement, therefore avoiding boredom. This movement quickly exhaust itself, though, and boredom sets in again. The "rakes", crual and methodical libertines, try to avoid boredom by establishing a special relation to fiction. The images they create of their selves in their discourses are deeply original, and establish and "aesthetical relation" that relies on dazzling images that are supposed to subjugate the public. When the rakes seduce sensitive characters, they put their virtue to the test and they put these characters in dramatical situations, and these situations will be used to create narratives. Letters play a key role in this fictional take on reality, and the aesthetical devices created by the rakes in their correspondence are designed to replace real passions, that are perceived as alienating, by "ghosts of passions", to quote the Abbé Du Bos (aesthetical emotions, that are both intense and harmless). However, these devices are threatened by the apparition of dramatic pictures in their narratives that are reminiscent of a sentimental aesthetic. The novels centered around rakes are therefore torn between two kind of writings, the analytical writing of the rakes, and the sentimental writing. These novels can be seen as experimental laboratories, where different theories of fiction are put to the test

Full textSince the middle of the 1970s, the juridical framework for erotic publications in France has experienced no major developments. Our current legislation has been inherited from liberal reforms from the late 1960s, which have deconstructed a coercive system that has been continually improved since 1939, in the wake of the battle led by defenders of public morality during the inter-war-years. This work aims to shed light on the history of this legislation, which since its emergence in the 1920s until its dissolution in the 1970s, has come to both record, and influence, the evolution if French society and its morals. What was the background and who were the intermediaries and supporters of this legislation? What were its effects and limitations? By whom and why was this legislation challenged, and how did this challenge merge with the broader movement of liberal claims in the late 1960s? From 1881 to 1958, the legal system surrounding erotic publications has regularly been reviewed (in 1882, 1898, 1908, 1939, 1949 and 1958), in a manner ever increasingly repressive. The break during the inter-war-years disguised a melting pot in which the great public decency reforms were elaborated before they were ratified on the eve of the Second World War. In 1967, for the first time since the July 29, 1881 law, the moral framework for the press and publication industry was relaxed. Many authors and publishers suffered a reactionary backlash in the late 1960s through to the 1970s, however May 1968 and its follow-up overcame this repressive system. This thesis proposes primarily to clarify the origins and foundations of the major juridical innovations that are contained in the July 29, 1939 law relating to public indecency that directly impacted the press and book industry. Secondarily, it focuses on the conditions for the adoption, as well as the subsequent application of article 14 of the July 16, 1949 law, which on an administrative level reinforced the judicial repression set up ten years previously. Finally, in examining the development of this new legislation from 1950 to 1970, we will study its effects and retrace the history of its contestation

Full textThe work which is submitted today, is a defence of erotic literature. This form of literature flourished at the times of renaissance and mainly in the early seventeenth century, following the prodigious movement of emancipation that took place in those times. This form of literature was very popular in the reign of king henry 4 of france, and the first regency. It was, however, attacked and disparaged during the christian revival campaign that prevailed in france from the 1625's and 1630's onward. In the fairly long first part of this work, we have studied the main themes of this literature, which is, sometimes, kwown as "scandalous literature", and its variations, mainly the description of "carnal knowledge". The field of our investigations being primarely that of satyric poetry and "comic novel" (roman comique) : histoire comique de francion. In a symmetrical second part, our purpose was the political and religious repression in the twin regns of king louis 13 of france and cardinal richelieu. Preachers, "precieux poets", moralists, physicians, all cried shame on this literature of "lust"

Full textThe 1830's are caracterized by the emergence of a young romantic generation. Among those new writers is Paul Lacroix, young ambitious man who desires to influence the litterature of his own time. He succeds to do so thanks to the historical novels he published under the pseudonym of « Bibliophile Jacob », old erudite book lover. He expresses through his work his will to give his public a taste for history, known to be an austere and demanding science. He also tries to stand out from his illustrious predecessors in becoming the « french Walter Scott ». Then, he plays on the attraction of eroticism and leads to his readers into the heart of the most intimate secrets of France history. By showing of the erotic side of history, Paul Lacroix gives his personal definition of the historical novel. That way, he brings up question about romantic aesthetic and expresses ideologicals claimings. This plural approach will enable to identify the issues of his writing and to show the limits of his project
Guillemat, Christian. "Le jeu et le roman dans l'oeuvre de Crébillon fils." Montpellier 3, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003MON30012.
Full textClaude Crébillon (1707-1777) was accused of being a libertine novelist. A recent discovery portrays him as an ethnographer or a moralist when he is a player. Inextricably, libertine pastimes and those of the novel weave works which testify to the disorders of society, the difficulties of novel genre and uncertain nature of artistic creation. Crébillon creates libertine characters who can never establish themselves in the long term nor evolve with regards to others. As a conscious novelist, he bases his writing on the play on styles and on the novel tradition in order to compose works in which beings disappear behind their representations. As an artist, he creates a universe composed of moments and shapes, criss-crossed by many paths which never leave it. This play acting is neither gratuitous, nor disordered, nor inoffensive, nor futile : organised by the text, it produces artistic works, it brings all concepts into perspective and it provides an outlet to philosophical perplexity

Full textThe object of this thesis is to highlight the existence of a connection between the libertine aesthetics, as it appears under the Regency, and the abolition of principles inherited from the Ancien Régime. Indeed libertinage cannot be dissociated from the existence of aristocracy, as it appears in mondain circles in the 1730s, and among idle nobles who practice the art of seduction. It is worth examining the evolution of the libertine aesthetics at the turn of the century, in a context where the French Revolution, and before that stronger values of the bourgeoisie, both tend to question all aspects of the aristocracy's prerogatives. .

Full textThe "Lettre de Thrasibule à Leucippe" is one of the most important texts of free thought in the eighteenth century. A lot of manuscript copies are still available for study in several libraries in france and in foreign countries. The comparison between the different versions enables us to discover the interplay between them and prouves that the clandestine litterature in the eighteen century was a main preoccupation among intellectual circle. The anonymous author denies the very existence of any form of religions, the immortality of the soul. He builds up the theory that all sources of knowledge lay in the senses. He offers a behaviour in accordance with epicurean ethics

Full textAndré Pieyre de Mandiargues is the author of erotic books, witch are also"metaphysical", although be has never explicated as to what this term implied for in. His eroticism is "metaphysical", as Chirico's painting is metaphysical, or as Ferrare is " una citta metafisica". Mandiargues's eroticism is abstract, oneric and fantastic ; it is a romantic sublimation, and absolute disconnected from reality. This eroticism, fed with phantasms and dreams, is the the pretext and the matter of writing. In addition, it is a rebellion against "bourgeois" values he hated. As most major authors, Mandiargues has created a unique and secret world without giving the key to it. Eroticism and fantastic are the materials of this exclusive world, as well as an almost gongoristic mannered style. Mandiargues' world, constituted of esoteric and psychoanalytical hints and of ininterrupted dreams, is subjugated by love for Woman, sadomasochism the infernal Eros and Thanatos couple soon joined by Chronos
Charcharé, Hélène. "Proust et Platon. Convergences linguistiques, érotiques et philosophiques." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCA017/document.
Full textThe thesis entitled Proust and Plato is mainly based on the affinities between the two great figures of universal scope. Although there is a significant time gap between them, we have tried to develop an approximation in three distinct parts. The first part is devoted to etymology and philosophy of language, namely the effort of Proust and Plato to establish the correctness of the name against the thing it represents. At first, we put the language at the epicenter of our analysis, in an effort to locate the various tendencies, –cratylism, hermogenism, naturalism, conventionalism –, in a critical dialogue: the Cratylus. Secondly, it is etymology that revives the linguistic effervescence, representing a pivotal topic in both Proust and Plato: it questions the use of words and names, as well as their relevance with the thing they represent. The other great linguistic theory proposed is hermogenism, named after the theory of Hermogenes in the Cratylus, who argues that the names have been invented on the basis of an agreement between the people who use them. Secondly, it is love in all its manifestations that takes over: the focus is on the most delightful work of Plato, the Banquet. We will start by highlighting the role of the banquet as an institution in antiquity. These are without a doubt the mostappropriate surroundings to talk about pederasty, the androgyne, but also ἀγάπη. Nevertheless, the Banquet also has its Aristophanian side: by assigning to the great comedy writer the articulation of his most famous myth, Plato perhaps wanted to highlight the more satirical side of eros. However, this idyllic myth also triggers the review of many themes concerning homosexuality in ancient Greece. The Proustian part on love is dedicated initially to the importance of the aristocratic banquet, place of the social, romantic and artistic initiation of the Narrator. It is furthermore based on the different manifestations of ἒρως and ἀγάπη in the novel:friendship, homosexuality, artistic procreation. The last stage of the second part is dedicated to death and the beyond in Greek Antiquity and the three tales of nekyia in the Platonic corpus. We will underline the existence of it as a leitmotiv in the Proustian novel as well. The final section has a rather disconcerting title: Δεύτερος πλοῦς, a second navigation. Here, we would like to emphasize the effort of Plato and Proust to reach the most unfathomable truths by taking iconoclastic paths: for Plato, it would be reminiscence, Ideal aesthetics and myth, while the Proustian segment focuses on time and memory, aesthetics and the narrative techniques of the novel. We hope that at the end of this study the contiguous reflections highlighted in the works of Plato and Proust will have turned into dazzling sparkles

Full textMy work deals with the building of identity through the writing of women writers from the Cuban Diaspora in New York. It focuses on autofictions by Sonia Rivera-Valdés and Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks. These contemporary writers, - who have a knack for defining the lesbian subject through the use of eroticism and desire- also manage to unsettle national, cultural and sexual identities by putting forward characters who develop out of the norm, away from the political, social and sexual system. These writers give a new definition to Cuban identity from an intimate perspective, which is far from the politicized image we know. My literary and socio-historical approach sheds light on the mechanisms of the construction of the identities of these women writers, considering in particular the context of production of their works. The numerous field surveys on the writers and guarantors of the Cuban institution made it possible for me to identify the literary and socio-historical context in which the women writers developed and produced their works. Through their literary careers, Sonia Rivera-Valdés and Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks describe themselves as lesbian writers living in a fragmented geographical space. They succeed in fictionalizing their memories in order to tell their lives. The text is both testimony – a narrative describing a socio-historical situation, being a lesbian in Cuba, the difficult integration of the migrants in New York- and fiction, enabling them to project their ideals. It is therefore in between testimony and reconstruction of the past anchored in the present that the women writers build a fragmented space between Cuba and New-York. Writing, as well as photography for Herranz-Brooks, seen as creation, made it possible for them to give life again to their past experiences so as to build themselves an identity as writers and as lesbian, migrant, Cuban women from the Diaspora

Full textThe goal of this dissertation is to analyse the influence of the “monogamous system”, as an ideological concept, in the reading process of contemporary Galician erotic poetry published between 2000 and 2010. Our initial hypothesis was that although the end of authorship was announced at the beginning of the twentieth century, the reception of erotic poetry continues to be done from a biographical perspective, since the poetic voices seem to be sexualized following the sex-gender system, sexual orientation and interpersonal relationship (in most cases assumed as monogomous) of the author. We analyse the critics’ discourse to deep dive into how pleasure and affection were perceived during this period. Besides, we deal directly with the poems to understand if these already established readings produced by critics and readers are the only possible ones or if other readings (in relation to sexuality) might be hidden. In short, we establish that, deconstructing the reader’s perspective and adopting a non-monogomous viewpoint, we can decode many diverse and transgressive messages that are lost due to hegemonic ideology

Full textThis study examines the complex relationships between poetry and eroticism that have emerged in the Colombian poetry throughout a historical journey that goes from José Asunción Silva’s poetry (late nineteenth century) to the poetry of the group Mito, during the decade of 50s in the twentieth century. This research and analytical work shows that a tradition of the erotic in the Colombian poetry can be observed, in which eroticism, as a sensitive subject, has permeated the poetics of various groups –modernists, Piedracielistas, and Mito– as well as some of the most important Colombian authors such as Silva, Porfirio Barba Jacob, Luis Carlos López, and León de Greiff
Este estudio se pregunta por las complejas relaciones entre poesía y erotismo que se han dado en la poesía colombiana, en un recorrido histórico que va desde la poesía de José Asunción Silva, finales del siglo XIX, hasta la poesía del grupo Mito en la década del 50 del siglo XX. Este ejercicio investigativo y analítico demuestra que se puede observar una tradición de lo erótico en la poesía colombiana en la que el erotismo, como asunto sensible, ha permeado la poética de varios grupos –modernistas, piedracielistas y Mito– y de algunos de los más importantes autores, entre los cuales: Silva, Porfirio Barba Jacob, Luis Carlos López y León de Greiff

Full textThe study of eroticism in the narrative works of Cristina Peri Rossi follows a critical process that first defines the notion of eroticism generally and more specifically in the peri rossian writing. Then, a reading of the woman body in the corpus will be made so as to consider both the body of the text itself and the erotic writing as a transgression. The objective is to show how eroticism works in the narrative works of Peri Rossi. The texts combine violence and restraint, an exhuberance of the senses and the lack of communication among human beings, the coarseness of words and the poetic metaphors. The works put an emphasis on the construction and discontruction of the identity that faces the boundaries limiting desire. Peri Rossi's erotic writing arises from the transgression of some of the writing rules and mythical texts. The writer adopts a philosophy of eroticism which advocates a freedom of inspiration, expression and writing, sometimes in a break with norms. Moreover, Peri Rossi adds an emotional intensity to her works and offers an intimist perception that can break the old moral rules and she's not afraid of facing the most reactionary critics. Her feminist writing deals with the relationships between men and women, analyses eroticism as a genre and denounces the traditional and sexist values of the patriarchal society

Full textThe Sicilian Domenico Tempio (1750-1821) was a dialectal poet. He’s still known as a pornographic author: though he wrote very few obscene poems, they gave him a bad reputation. On the contrary, he was an active poet who denounced the nobles, the priests and the monks who abused their power and rank in a decadent fin-de-siècle Catania.Starting from his most important work, the poem La Carestia, Tempio was an author attentive to the need of justice, of solidarity and of equality – of reforms, in one word – in order to improve people’s living conditions.The thesis intends, therefore, to illustrate on the one hand the presumed pornography and on the other hand Tempio’s commitment in the framework of the Sicilian Enlightenment and despite some personal contradictions

Full textThe erotic, if not pornographic theme in Claude Simon’s work has been the subject of detailed, yet partial studies. The little focus on these among the research works on Claude Simon’s work can be explained by the social and cultural stigma associated with the two themes, usually found in a certain paraliterature or “under the table” or “cheap” literature that do not suit a writer that was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (1985). Yet, love, desire and sexuality can be found in every one of his novels Together, these contribute in shaping a “living literature” that the writer called for in his Banquet Speech. His keen and careful observation of the world brings a voyeurism poetics to the core of his writings. More than a writer, Claude Simon was also a painter, collage artist, drawer, photographer, and for one cinematographic adventure, found himself in TV studios. From the image apparatus, he draws lessons for his fictions’ compositions and unveils what was meant to remain hidden. These are all announcements of writing’s “birth certificates”. The biographical dimension is an integral part of these “acts” written against a stream of various death announcements (World War I, disease, the Spanish revolution, old age, World War II, the prison camp, suicide, etc.) that Claude Simon had to face during his entire life (1913-2005). There is a history of “hitting rock bottom” that informs all of his writings, big or small, from letters to books. He eludes canonical models by instilling into literature a vitality and a sense of survival that sprout from images and archives

Full textSaikaku - a novelist - (1642-1693) and chikamatsu - a dramatist - (1653-1724) are two of the greatest writers in ancient japan. Belonging to the rising class of the chonin (merchants, handy-craftsmen), they embody their aspirations for happiness, economic success, equality and stand against the values of the ruling military. But they are also under the influence of previously dominant cultures. Besides, for saikaku, love is turned towards life whereas, for chikamatsu, it chooses death. In the first part, saikaku's koshoku ichidai otoko leads to compare the character of the seducer in the japanese (ariwara, heichu, the genji, yonosuke) and in the western (don juan, casanova) literatures regarding beauty, time, the sacred and the being. . . In the second part, the author will examine what, in the tales of tragic love from koshoku gonin onna and the description of a prostitute's career in koshoku ichidai onna, is a demand for the liberation of women. The parallel with boccaccio and m. De navarre will enable to clarify the attitude of christianity and buddhism towards love. Prostitution, as it is described by saikaku, induces a comparison with defoe's moll flanders and zola's nana. In the third part, chikamatsu's position concer- ning love double suicide is being studied and diverse parallels with werther, romeo and juliet, carmen, othello are sketched
Coavoux, Sophie. "Le développement de l'érotisme dans la poésie de Constantin Cavafy." Montpellier 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008MON30010.
Full textThe dissertation examines the growth of eroticism in Constantin Cavafy’s poetry. Beyond its mere thematic expression, eroticism turns out to be the core of the demiurgic process and forms the mainstay of his writings: in other words, it is on behalf of eroticism and on account of it that Cavafy fleshes out his art. Grounded on a wide array of pieces that include the canonical poems, this inquiry hinges on a diachronic as well as a thematic examination to which are appended elements of comparative study looking into cavafian eroticism in the wider context of European and Greek literary history. The chronological approach complies with the threefold dimension in the growth of the poet’s mind. Following an introductory chapter devoted to the very beginnings and to the emergence of love as a theme in compositions prior to 1891, the first part of the study, dealing with the poet’s formative years, focuses primarily on uncovering the sources of eroticism. This opening period, marked by an aesthetics of avoidance, leads to a moment of crisis for the Alexandrine, “the great crisis of libidinousness”, which will be soothed through the legitimate use of eroticism and its literary elaboration. The third part of the study, “The love that dare speak its name”, deals with the mature writings: eroticism becomes a system, now necessarily linked to modernity and transgression

Full textThe libertine novelists of the 17th century wrote frequently in first person. Nevertheless, their use of the first person narrator did not lead to a personal configuration of a heterodox vision of the world. Characterized by irony and concealment, the libertine practice of self-diegetic writing is the product of a process of declarative dissociation: the auctorial point of view is well separated by the narrative one that, in its tom, lost its own ideological discourse and became a series of heterogeneous points of view. This study aims at analyzing this process through sorne works such as the Histoire comique de Francion (1623) by Charles Sorel, the Première journée (1623) by Théophile de Viau, Les Aventures satyriques de Florinde (1625, anonymous), Le Gascon extravagant (1637) by Onésime de Claireville, Le Page disgracié (1643) by Tristan L'Hermite, L'Autre Monde (1657-1662) by Cyrano de Bergerac, L'Orphelin infortuné (1660) by César François Oudin de Préfontaine, Les Aventures (1677) by Charles Coypeau Dassoucy, La Terre Australe connue (1676) by Gabriel de Foigny and the Histoire des Sévarambes (1677-1679) by Denis Veiras. At the end of the path characterized by the analysis of these texts, the subjectivity marking out libertine first person narrator novels seems to be a dissociated subject, hanging on the neuter declarative space where its contradictory impulses takes place

Full textJoyce Manour 's work is a striking, sometimes anguishing example of Breton's concept of « communicating vessels » : the subconscious's hidden wounds seep into her writing leaving traces of desire, death and an inextinguishable yet desparate will to live. Parallel to this, the very visual, camal nature of her words provides a « mirror of desire » which enables the intimate echoing between her poetry and the works of her artist friends. Through their collaborations, they sublimate, enhance, comment on and illustrate each other. Each in their own way, they share the same anguish. commit the same transgressions, exercise the sa me freedom. Art and poetry connect deeply. This thesis aims to follow the symbiosis between images, words and experiences which characterises Joyce Mansours work. It reveals itself in the collection of Oceanic art she built up with her husbanc, Samir Mansour ; in the Objets méchants she created using material gleaned from scrapyards or bought at the BHV ... which express a need to intensify daily life, seek its essence in order to escape tedium ; in the elective affinities she shares with with the artists that enrich her works, as she does theirs. This « mirror of desire» is both personal - an expression of the poetess' s destiny, haunted by death and its traumas - and collective, as it seems to reflect the phantasmagorical landscape of a generation hungry for freedom, but haunted, like Joyce Mansour, by the mass graves of successive wars, and in rebellion against the non-life of the living

Full textThis thesis means to study the representation of Meduse's myth from a group of masculine narratives. Therefore its hypothesis is that the meetings between men and women as described in literature are a fight, and the two parts of this thesis successively analyse aesthetic and literary delusions (mystifying erotic look of the end of the nineteenth century and the unilateral speech of desire of the twentieth). The first two chapters are a study of Meduse's myth (horrible, disturbing and petrifying strangeness) and its double : Melusine's myth (dream of an androgynous and reassuring feminity), whereas the following chapter constitutes their indivisibility. The fourth chapter produces exploitation of Melusine's myth by a. Breton, while the fifth explains variants (four surrealist stories, P. J. Jouve 's prose). Lastly, petrifying strangeness reappears in the shape of dismay and giddiness in the sixth chapter which deals with G. Bataille's work
Souchet, Audrey. "La représentation du baiser dans les romans de Mary Shelley : pour une éthique du corps." Caen, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013CAEN1717.
Full textMary Shelley’s work as a novelist is best known for her first novel, Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus (1818). This novel shows strong, graphic scenes which have had a deep impact on modern society’s imagination. One of the most striking scenes in Frankenstein is the moment when Victor gives a kiss to his cousin, who is also his fiancée, while having a nightmare, because this kiss kills Elizabeth and turns her into the corpse of Victor’s dead mother. It seems that the erotic kiss as a literary motif played a decisive role in the making of Mary Shelley as a novelist because it appears in the first drafts of Frankenstein, whose content, as we know, was heavily modified until the novel was published. The project underlying this study consists in displacing this aesthetic hypothesis and applying it to the other six novels which Mary Shelley wrote and which have been almost completely eclipsed by Frankenstein: the kiss as a literary motif will then be considered as a metaphor for the making of the woman writer. If the literary kiss can be considered as a motif belonging to the philosophical categories of aesthetics and eroticism, what can the kiss as it appears in the work of a female writer indicate about this writer’s relation to the conceptual categories of her time? As Mary Shelley’s novels suggest that aesthetics and eroticism as they are conceived by modern society are no longer productive, and as they reinvest the meaning of the literary kiss with an ethic of caring for the body of the other, bringing these novels together will help rediscover a writer’s vision of literature, her vision of Man, and most of all our own vision of what literature is about
Sifaki, Argyrô. "La crise du couple dans l'oeuvre théâtrale de Jean Giraudoux." Dijon, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015DIJOL031.
Full textThe present study aims to explore the dynamics of the amorous relationship between men and women as presented by Giraudoux in his theatrical work. It is posited that Giraudoux cannot perceive the individual outside the context of the couple. The coupe becomes a major reference for the author, where the individual defines and discovers him or herself relative to their partner. Crisis, which is at the heart of every relationship is defined by a series of continuous confrontations between the partners and is also the pint at which the individual wavers between finding refuge in indecision and happiness in the anticipation of their loved one. In Giraudoux’s plays love constantly changes and transforms the individuals, achieving perfection and completion within the lover’s discourse. In light of Nietzsche’s philosophy, Giraudoux creates in his plays a life where lovers, defying time and death, celebrate their humanness

Full textDesire is appraised by the modern poetic and philosophic discourse and it enables one to approach the unclassifiable works of Georges Bataille, in which it is the theme and the text's thoughtful logic at once. Unappeasable, excessive, violent and object-free desire is displayed through techniques of repetition, articulating the inevitability of contradiction and highlighting the heterological ambition of the author to unwrap concepts, disciplines and genres beyond their sphere. Equally a methodical option and a mode of knowledge, desire allows one to identify the act of writing with the Nietzschean category of the philosopher-artist and makes his literature a miscellanous one, producing a refractory text that transgresses the established normative codes where mingle scriptable with non-scriptable elements, such as the cry, silence, emptiness and secret. The notion of desire is at the heart of Bataille's poetic pre-requisite and is defined as the will to counteract the annulment that the systematic progression implies. Bataille equally juxtaposes the latter with the non-systematic answer that opens out the act of writing into the prospect of oblivion and sets the impossible as its ultimate end

Full textTell me what sex you are, i would tell you how you are or either how you should be, since all women look like only one woman and all men look like only one man. One is tender, the other is intelligent, one is irrational, the other is reasonable, one is inferior, the other is superior. . . In fact, it's difficult to conceive the human being outside of these very definite binary categories. And this how appears our inability to understand and to accept the other (the other sex) every time that he behaves differently of what has been previously agreed as being his kind. However, this narrow correspondence established between male sex and masculine kind on one side and female sex and feminine kind of another side, causes us a lot of harm. Isn't regrettable to deny to men the right to be tender, soft, sensitive and loving ? and isn't regrettable to deny to women to be free, independent, intelligent and creators ? ar-rawd al-atir fi nuzhat al-hatir is one of these works that treats the masculine and feminine identities, while drawing a woman's model and of a man model. But it is necessary again that the man confesses publicly what he is and what he really wants, at that moment only, we can dream of a better world, a world where the kind doesn't have a sex

Full textThe research focuses on the comparative study of eroticism in two novels: The Margin by André Pieyre de Mandiargues and Pornografia by Witold Gombrowicz. Following the new comparative approach (Apter, Casanova, Moretti) from a cultural and literary perspective, the project explores the ways in which eroticism can be understood (or misunderstood) in the history of ideas, in literary criticism and finally in literary works. Starting from an epistemological inquiry, the contrasting literary histories of Poland and France and theoretical approaches developed by Bataille, Foucault, Barthes and Deleuze, the project shows the cultural differences in representing eroticism in literature. Furthermore it compares how Mandiargues and Gombrowicz defend the necessity and the danger of eroticism in literature through their critical writing. Finally, thanks to a deep textual analysis of the two novels, the study seeks to explain the dynamics of literary eroticism understood as a theme that is either descriptive or narrative. The two novels show how the erotic dream can be explored through narrative temporality or space and consequently lead to photographical or cinematographical interpretations. This research intends to highlight the role of these writers in the discussion of contemporary ars erotica in global literature and to encourage the study of eroticism in comparative literature
Glass, Rivkah Gillian. "Love's calling : how eroticism encourages religious intentions in "Joseph and Aseneth" and the "Æthiopika"." Master's thesis, Université Laval, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11794/27230.
Full textThis thesis examines the use of eroticism and love as literary devices in two ancient novels. The primary text analysed is a work derived from the Torah entitled Joseph and Aseneth. The second piece is the Æthiopika, the romance written by Heliodorus of Emesa. Despite their divergent backgrounds, all authors received a similar Hellenic education, and motifs bearing striking similarities are thus found in these narratives of antithetical purposes. Moreover, both of these texts are novels, were written in Greek, and exploit romance in order to edify their public. This thesis has three purposes. It aims to show that Joseph and Aseneth is deserving of classification as a Greek romance, to qualify the religious experiences had by the characters, and to contribute to the discussion of dating of Joseph and Aseneth by this comparative study. A tripartite analysis is used in this research. To begin with, the well known romantic trope of lovesickness is analysed. In both cases, the use of love at first sight and the emotional illness that follows are shown to be not merely genre requirements, but motors of the plot, as well as a means by which an author can introduce either religious or philosophical elements. The second section takes up speech pertaining to love and romance. As protagonists from both novels initially refuse matrimony, the language regarding these refusals is highly informative of social anxieties, particularly political or religious concerns, regarding marriage. Lastly, the relationship between the romantic couple and the gods present in their narrative is considered. The two novels display the historically appropriate understanding that the gods intervene in the private lives of mortals. The fashions and reasons for which they do so is different in each story, a convergence stemming from the purposes of these two works. Parallels can be drawn, however, for both narratives display a shift from institutional to personal religion, through the individual relationships of characters with divinities.
