Brehier, Ludivine. "La superstition dans les contes fantastiques français du dix-neuvième siècle." Thesis, Paris 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA030031/document.
Full textThis study is dedicated to the potential superstitious part inherent to French fantastic tales of the XIXth century. Within this concise form of storytelling, we outline the impact arising from the collision of fantastic and superstition, two enemies of reason, witness of a time when imagination was in search of a new breath in literature. We return to the origins of the reunion of these two notions by considering their respective etymologies and evolutions, before focusing on their narrative similarities. The second part of our analysis revolves around the precursors, initiators and romantic authors, from J. Cazotte to P. Mérimée. Our third part is dedicated to major works of the second half of the century, which, at the instigation of the particularly famous E.A. Poe and other few realistic authors considered as less influent, benefit from a new form of imagination ending with J. Lorrain’s Decadent movement. This study shows the existence, necessity and evolution of the belief, in a genre dependent on a verve particularly receptive to the disillusion caused by a despised reality. We observe that fantastic and superstition both stand at the point where the ordinary meets an alternative hereafter which is paradoxically source of anxiety and salvation, reflecting the sensibility of the fantastic authors who transcribed it into an increasingly macabre imagination throughout the century, supported by traditional folklore, then by psychiatric pathologies

Full textThis comparative research project is devoted to the study of the system of metaphors for the Medieval cathedral in French and Russian literatures of the XIXth and XXth centuries. The classical metaphors of cathedral as book, cathedral as living being and cathedral as vegetable organism are at the core of the present work. The actual and physical cathedral progressively dematerializes and turns into a mysterious cathedral engulfed in water or into a precarious cathedral of mist. Rehabilitated and valorized by the Romantics, the Medieval building itself starts acting as a model for comparison, entailing a complete reversal of metaphors. A symbol of the holy and a place of worship, the religious building gets completely metamorphisized by the writers' pen. The amazing diversity of literary representations of the cathedral strike and touch by their sheer beauty as a real kaleideoscope of images, surprising the reader by their originality and depth

Full textIn this study of les physiologies in France in 19th century, the point is, by means of stylistics, to find constants in these studies of manners which invade Paris and France particularly from 1840 to 1845, in order to determine whether les physiologies constitute a literary genre. If the physiologists follow the tradition of La Bruyere's caracteres and of the studies of manners of the 18th century, they can also innovate and using the technique of caricature and of "portrait-charge", insert their texts in actuality. So, in les physiologies appears the history of the events, the ideas, the literature of a period that anybody can experience. This last point induces us to consider the nature of the reading public of les physiologies which is culturally and politically distinguishable. In fact, les physiologies, by their style, are linked to the political newspapers opposed to the July monarchy. But, using the descriptive and classificatory method of zoologists, the physiologists assume a distant position from scientific physiologists and particularly from the social physiologists who want to upset the regime in promoting a unitary view of society. And it is by their fragmentary and fragmented view of reality that les physiologies become a literary genre. So, when in the second part of the 19th century, a more and more unitary view of phenomenon predominate over minds, les physiologies will change and die. It is in this perspective we may question a possible revival today of a genre which is not one
Montaclair, Florent. "Fantastique et anticipation chez Jules Verne et Howard Phillip Lovecraft." Paris 4, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040097.
Full textJules Verne (1828-1905), the French writer, and Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937), the American writer, have been considered, in their respective countries, as creators of a new literary genre - science fiction. The works of both the authors are linked to the problematic of inserting modernity, and the knowledge which comes with it, in fiction. The aim of this research is to analyze what is common to both writers, how their work is innovative and whether their work becomes - or not - the prolongation of the literary movements which triumphed in their century. The rejection of a fantastic literary genre is inscribed within the movement which determines their work and forms an aspect which will be examined in depth. By using three points of comparison (namely proxemics, characteristics of the supernatural, and the narrator's role in the text), the formal and historical perspective of this research tries to study Lovecraft and Verne in their own century so as to bring out their uniqueness within the literary context of the period

Full textThe book collections called "popular" for their small formats and inexpensive prices multiplied during the nineteenth century in france and europe. An editor, gervais charpentier, created a flourishing movement of "popular" books by organizing a veritable editorial revolution. The invention of a new format - called "in-18 jesus velin" - lowered the price of a compact volume by 25% and founded a new genre of editorial practice: the collection in the form of a "library" which assembled several literary categories including the classics, contemporary authors, and educational works. Each category created its own reading public, a loyal readership dedicated to compiling a part or all of a series. Two dominant models shared in the production of these collections: the type pioneered by charpentier and the type adopted later by the workers' collective that launched the "bibliotheque nationale" in the format "in-32" whose price varied from 0,25 to 1 franc. These collections would reach a varied public - the intellectual elite, bourgeois women, working-class autodidacts, and peasants alike - by a massive utilization of all the circuits of diffusion (libraries, colportage, book stations, direct sales, etc. ) and by attention lavished upon the material quality of the book and its public - a great diligence toward the quality of

Full textThe study of painting in the fantastic short stories shows that this aesthetics is built on subjectivity of perception: for that very reason, it is a literature of the visible. The composition of the text is making use of the pictorial principle of anamorphosis. The writers of fantastics tales realize (before it historically occurs) the necessary evolution of the art of painting towards impressionism, expressionism and a subjective representation of reality. The fantastic short story is, altogether, a horror story and a very discerning art criticism

Full textThis work offers a repertoire and an analysis of the different uses of biographical narration in French Literature, both in the XIXth and the XXth century: hagiographic fictions, novels with a biographical chronotope, "biographèmes", lives of imaginary characters or imaginary lives of actual characters, "biofictions". These texts, for which the Vies imaginaires by M. Schwob (1896) and the Vies minuscules by P. Michon (1994) offer two major models, enter in opposition with the representations of positive historical biographies and with the famous or exemplary lives produced by a collective memory: they use the linguistic, narrative and topical patterns of biography with an aesthetical aim, often in a playful and demystifying way. Giving rise to major theoretical questions concerning classifications of genres and status, these lives play an important part in defining the modern literary field and in the renewal of poetics. Major occasions for a reflection upon himself by the writer, often brief or fragmentary, these texts serve in effect as an alternative for the novel, whether they lead to excess in measure and sacralization of writing (since they become the place for a second genesis), or to an egalitarian and materialistic realism. They embrace at the same time the understanding of a vital totality (a destiny, be it small, romance-like, tragic or playful) and a direct or oblique way of enquiring on other people. Literary workshop for personal identities and new art of memory, these lives can be defined, with R. Barthes, as "the impossible science of the unique being" and echo the contradictory tendencies of modern culture that constitute the pride of difference and the duty of transmission; in this way, they bear witness to the hermeneutic and cognitive stakes of literary fiction when it has to be a substitutive humanism or religion

Full textBy its short form and its fascinating content, the French fantastic short story proves itself particularly appropriate to the class of FLE. However, it doesn’t play any role in French teaching in the Chinese universities. This research aims to propose to Chinese teachers of French the introduction of some French fantastic short stories in the class of FLE and to give them some ideas for working with these texts. In this perspective, we try to investigate in the present thesis the fantastic works of some French authors, among them Maupassant, Barbey d’Aurevilly, Villiers de L’Isle-Adam, Jean Lorrain, Marcel Schwob, Apollinaire, in order to sketch a poetics of the French fantastic short story at the turn of the XIXe and XXe centuries and to establish a teaching methodology of fantastic texts in the class of FLE. We consider that teaching activities should be organized for the purpose of the acquisition of linguistic, cultural competence and the fostering of the intercultural competence of the Chinese learners of French

Full textIdentités et exotisme : représentations de soi et des autres dans la presse coloniale française au XIXe siècle (1830-1880) Sur les territoires colonisés par la France paraissent des journaux locaux qui suivent le développement national de la presse : entre 1830 et 1880, l’époque est médiatique et le journal est un support important des publications littéraires. Dans les colonies, les périodiques contiennent ainsi des textes adaptés à leurs territoires respectifs, mais publiés toujours selon la même structure, ce qui permet une comparaison entre les différentes stratégies conduisant à l’élaboration d’identités coloniales. Ces textes, par leur diversité et leurs évolutions, représentent une sorte de chaînon manquant entre la littérature des récits de voyage et la littérature coloniale qui se définit au tournant du XXe siècle : interrogés et étudiés sous cet angle, ils prennent valeur de corpus signifiant. Ils montrent en effet le rôle identitaire de cette littérature médiatique adaptée aux colonies : en adaptant l’exotisme aux conditions coloniale, en faisant varier le critère d’altérité et par bien d’autres moyens encore, la presse locale fonde en partie une attitude coloniale qui se retrouve, mutatis mutandis, dans l’empire colonial français. C’est également la raison pour laquelle le corpus médiatique colonial du XIXe siècle se trouve être au centre de connexions avec les textes de la littérature coloniale ainsi qu’avec les problématiques de l’écriture postcoloniale : lieu de publication, de nouveauté, de tentatives identitaires et d’essais génériques, le journal colonial a produit entre 1830 et 1880 des mécanismes d’écriture appelés à se développer par la suite.
Identities and exoticism : representations of self and others in the french colonial press in the 19th century (1830-1880) Local newspapers were published in French colonial areas following the same evolution as the national newspapers: between 1830 and 1880, media-rich times, the press represents a significant publishing-platform for literary texts. Colonial newspapers contain texts adjusted to their respective geographic areas, but keep the same structure regardless, thereby allowing the comparison between the strategies leading to the building of colonial identities. The diversity and the different evolution pathways of these texts may then be considered as the missing link between the travel narratives and the early-20th century defined colonial literature. As such, they can undoubtedly be considered as a significant corpus of colonial times. These texts reflect the identity role this colonial-area adjusted media literature had: by adapting exoticism to the colonial conditions, by varying the criterion of alterity and by many other ways, local press founds, partially, a colonial attitude that can further be found, mutatis mutandis, in the French colonial empire. This is also the reason the 19th-century colonial-media corpus is at the crossroads of both colonial literature and postcolonial writing problematics: as a place for publication, novelty, identity essays, and literary genre essays, the colonial newspaper witnessed the creation, between 1830 and 1880, of writing mechanisms that would eventually develop later on.
Santurenne, Thierry. "L'opéra dans la fiction narrative française de 1850 à 1914." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040094.
Full textAs other nineteenth-century cultural works did, opera contributed to enriching writers'imaginative world, concerned about both its artistic and institutional dimension. In the second part of the period, narrative fiction references to the lyrical phenomenon make it the basis of a metaliterary thought in which the prima donna's personality, the way the performance is looked at, the voice rendering are so many themes used by novelists and short story writers to stage their relationship with writing. This support of opera to the self-reflexive meaning of the works adds to their anthropological purpose. Thus, the hints to the lyrical performance provide the writers with an essential tool for exploring the limits of the reality painted in fiction. Narrative fiction resorts to the sung drama as well, symbolizing the unstable equilibrium between the Apollinian and the Dionysiac, to emphasize the threat exerted by the latter on society, incessantly endangered by a devastating cruelty which persuades the myths enriching opera. Finally, its connivance with the socio-political field supplies the novelists with a significant material to the social criticism in which they represent moreover the emergence of a rebellious subjectivity through the consciousness of a spectator from now on more responsive to his own mental representations than to the splendours of the prevailing ideologies

Full textThe thesis The Uncanny Tale in the Twentieth Century French Literature concerns the category of short fiction oscillating between the fantastic and the marvellous and it points out the existence of a new type of tale in the twentieth century French literature. The term "uncanny tale” is in not frequent in critical discourse, though some theoreticians, like M. Guiomar, J. -B. Renard and J. Goimard, have been interested in the concept of the uncanny. The aim of this study is to characterize the essential features of the uncanny tale and advance a definition of the category on the basis of short fictions of G. Apollinaire, M. Aymé, G. -O. Châteaureynaud, P. Gripari, M. Schneider, J. Supervielle, B. Vian or M. Yourcenar, not to mention the most famous authors. Reading and examining the uncanny tale or short stories, which classification remains ambiguous, accentuate two aspects: how the uncanny is created and how it should be read. The formation of the uncanny universe consists of choosing its particular figures, time and space. The perception of this category is subject to the reader’s knowledge of culture codes and intertextuality of the uncanny tales

Full textThis study relates the rise of the French detective novel from late Second Empire to the First World War. It springs up in the judicial novels of Emile Gaboriau (1836-1873), the “father of French detective novel” and of his imitators, unrecognized novelists of the Second Empire and the Third Republic. It ends up with the first great cycles of detective adventures in the Belle Epoque, Arsene Lupin’s ones, written by Maurice Leblanc, and Rouletabille’s by Gaston Leroux. First, the research singles out the historical, literary and social factors which favoured the emergence of this genre: the popular press and serial novel development, the public’s rising interest for criminal topics and the evolution of police methods. It shows how appeared and progressively came into practice a new kind of novel, based on the actions of the character of the detective and on the process of piecing together the crime scenario. Second, the study puts the detective novel back in its connections with the contemporary world and emphasizes the wealth of its content. 19th century detective novels possess a realist vocation and tend to be similar to documents about the functioning of institutions and the rules of society. Their themes reveal the fears and the astonishment of the contemporaries who experienced the deep mutations of the industrial and urban civilization as a trauma and wondered about their consequences. Detective novels mirror the fears of a society who faces new dangers, but they either reflect its hopes, based upon the scientific and technical progress

Full textThis work concentrates on a diachronic presentation, through autobiographies and novels written by women of letters, of the evolution of the way in which the relationships between mother and daughter are depicted and of their essential importance in the works. This evolution follows the accession of women to a level of social recognition which has mainly been attained during the 20th century; after having been a novelistic model for Sand and Colette, the mother figure becomes a social emblem under the pen of Leduc and above all of Beauvoir who theorizes her place and exploitation which are amplified in her novels and autobiographical narratives. The mother then becomes an allegorical figure embodying death according to Duras and Yourcenar, before providing Cardinal and Sarraute with the opportunity of a liberation through speech. The following women writers, in an opposite process, turn the mother at the end of her life into a role model, in whom they can recognize themselves to the extent that they submit themselves entirely to her will, in Châtelet’s works. After having freed themselves from the mother figure and having written against her, women writers now write for her; the emergence of a feminine literature followed up a liberation from the mother, but the process has been reversed

Full textIn the 19th century, there were many representations of the prison in literature. Studies of customs and parisian paintings explore the prison and novels describe scenes of imprisonment (Sue, Les Mystères de Paris, Balzac, Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes, La Fille Élisa). The fascination of prisons achieved popularity well beyond literary people : investigators, hygienists, theorists of the penal system, also questioned the issue of imprisonment. Contemporary historiographical views see the 19th century as a pivotal moment in penal history. Since the Revolution, the prison has been perceived as being the corner stone of a new system of punishment. In light of this historical change, this study analyses the literary representations of prisons from an outside point of view, the view of someone who is not imprisoned, and, the narrative using the third person in novels. Forging links with the areas of knowledge that accompagny the introduction of criminal prison, literature plays an important part in the social narrative that represents the modernity of prison life. In this seminar, the reader will not fail to recognize the ambivalences and contradictions. Novels of adventure and romance, social commentaries and moralistic novels, works of realism and of naturalism will all in turn be explored to reflect the diversity of representations. The political and moral implications, but also aesthetic and poetic figuration by the fiction of the experience of incarceration, are a major challenge of this study

Full textIn 19th century literature, as the prevailing literary style of self expression allowed, the writers who were leaving for the Orient had the opportunity, with the traveller's narrative, to present themselves as men of letters. Thought the experience of a real journey, Chateaubriand, Lamartine, Nerval, Du Camp, Flaubert, Gautier and Loti evoked the practical conditions, the forms of transport, the speed of travel which contributed to the development of idealised self-portraits and various postures. The principal elements of the authorial construction are provided by the cultural references which ponctuate the narratives of the erudite men of letters. They are the result of a choice, not only imposed by the geography of itinerary, but, quoted several times, they illustrate metaphorically an aspect of the figure of the man of letters which the writer-traveller constructs while still seeking to distinguish himself from previous writer-travellers

Full textJules Verne’s novels appeared at a time when the progress of techniques and the development of reading modified the literary practice. As expressed in the contract with his publisher, Jules Hetzel, his works is intended for a large readership, with both the purposes of educating and entertaining. The intertextual method enables us to see how Verne’s novels reflect the XIXth century, by following the leading thread of the self comment of the text. The richness and the variety of the materials the author uses stress the considerable work he did to achieve his own creation. A work which consists in transforming and assimilating other people's texts (literary, documentary works, opinions, cliches, etc. ). It is of major interest for two reasons : the intertextual method is attentive to voices and moods which compose Verne’s texts : it brings us to appreciate the originality of this works which belongs to the XIXth century and continues to attract nowadays readers. In return, this works leads us to widen the notion of intertextuality to an interaction between verbal elements within the text and, from that point of view, to re-examine the representation of the text by itself

A large novelistic production in search of new code testifies for it, among which personal novels - especially first names-titles, whose increase is significant -are emblematic for a textual expression of the rising of the subject in the revolutioned society. Emancipated sublet seemingly, yet basically objet, racket by a tragic symptomatology - melancholy, insanity, spleen, impotence -, figurative for some harm that troubles the century in its children for all those heroes, despite the diversity of their personal stories, narrative voices -and the narrative way -apply themselves to bypass the specious ways of history. Since present time is a dead end, since paradise is lost for good, romantic heroes are led to question the genius of memories. Yet, the patterns surveyed whether ancient whether renaissance ages - have bequeathed nothing but ruins to set against the triomphal way the new world - the new-world -is on where interests is an other name for ethics.

Full textThe conception of the Arab society, still so predominant with the public opinion, even with the most cultured one, be it Italian French or in winder terms European, originates from stereotype. The reactions to the latest "Arab springs" are a clear evidence. The belief arose in the XIX century and not in more ancient times as most people believe and think. Before that time, stating from the Middle Age, both Italian and somehow French literary production gave diverse pictures of the Arab society, which are very different from the current ones. Up to the XIX century this conception was not drastic and the Arab word was considered to be a legitimate and usual part of the Mediterranean civilization you could have strong conflicts with, but at the same time also business, political, economic and cultural relations. In the XIX century this belief totally changes and the Arab world seems to be an uncivilized society whose only opportunity is the European colonization. This opinion was born in France and Italy when the imperialist politics started and it finished in the second half of the century, after the union of Italy

Full textRemy de Gourmont (1858-1915) appears like the thinking master of the symbolist generation, whose values were rapidly denied in the dawn of the twentieth century. Without ignoring the importance of his critical works, we nevertheless found the heart of his teachings in his fantasy works, as they reveal the principles of a cognitive method specific to litterature and symbolism, and adding in its process to the epistemological revival at work in the early 1900s. This study would first dip into the critics of language and images that appear in the author’s fatasy and words-imagination. It will then face the question of personality through the concrete symbolism of memory, desire and will. And at last, it will try to sort out the moral and intellectual values conveyed by the postures of fantasy that writing mimics. In the intellectual and artistic context of the « Belle Epoque » such an instance of the symbolists’ utopia – believing the world could be wholly and diversely re-created, both through subjectivity and hazard, in flesh and form of words, in the lack as well as the many meanings they involve – has thus been relocated

Full textThe first part of our research paper deals with the continuity of gothic myth and genre in the 19th century. After an attempt to prove the merits of such a notion as "myth" applied to the gothic revival aesthetic movement, we point out how the tradition was transferred from generation to generation, without a gap throughout the century. Then, after having sketched the gothic novel typology, we inquire about the way this genre was received from 1820 onwards, through a study of both parodies and catalogue of new editions and reissues of the original works. The examination of novel titles discloses the literary relationship between the first gothic novelists and their followers. An analysis of chosen works as part of such a continuous stream is then proposed. The second part of our work is devoted to the study of the french fin-de-siècle period and british eighteen nineties. We develop symmetrically the study of both myth and genre. After a review of the conditions in which each was received by public and readers, we organize our reflections in two directions : on the one hand, the constituent elements of gothic myth which are medievalism and praise of cathedrals ; on the other hand, the two main components of gothic genre i. E. The sinister mansion pattern and the hero-villain figure. We bring out the main features of "decadent gothic", which revived the themes and form of a literary tradition that would otherwise have been lost in commonplace imitation or hackneyed expression. Thus we see how decadence keeps the tale of terror alive and fully restores its richness and fruitfulness

Full textThe first part of the thesis draws some main outlines of Maupassant’s theoretical thought as a writer: we know that it is the incoming of a literary inheritage (from Flaubert and Tourgueniev); his thought attaches a great importance to the replication of the real-life situation of speaking. Maupassant throws out the term of realistic, he prefers being called illusionist. The second part lists some means of making illusion: the shifters, the self-effacement of the narrator beyond the dramatis personnae who are promoted to talk (direct speeches, discours indirect libre, and a few reported speeches); by using some forms of repetition (phonetical, metrical or lexical), he obtains a seductive effect in the reader. The third part studies how questions work - the characters feel alone and distraught and the narrator shares their distress and ignorance.

Full textFrench literature outside France is pretty well known, particularly through Aimé Césaire's work. This martinican writer is the most important in the Antilles. Before him, poets and novelists tried to create literature. They lived between 1870 and 1930 they imitated French literary movements but they introduced martinican topics. The first part of this work shows a cultural life in Martinique at this time (18701930), how literature appeared in a colonial society few years after slavery abolishment.

Gramfort, Valérie. "L'année 1869." Paris 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA030033.
Full textThis research has been done through a synchronic study of the literary life in 1869, through the perusal of Paris daily press as well as analysis of novels, plays and poems from that period. First and foremost, we tried to take stock of the literary production taking into account the historical, economic, scientific and artistic context of the time. Why chose 1869 ? Because this date is both a sign and an inevitable landmark. Just one year before the war broke out between France and Prussia and the third republic was proclaimed, 1869 was marked by the opening of the Suez canal, the centenary of Napoléon I But also by the results general election that revealed already the weakness of Napoleon III reign. From a literary viewpoint, 1869 is a transition year when Balzac's entire works were republished, the framework of the Rougon-Macquart cycle was set up and were published the Education sentimentale, l'Homme qui rit, Madame Gervaisais, Vingt mille lieues sous les mers or Les Chants de Maldoror

Full textThis thesis concerns a general study of the literary life under the first Empire. It is not only a question of redrawing the literary history of this underestimated period, but also of analyzing the reports connections which had the writers with the napoleonic regime. Furthermore, this literature, so weak in literary production in the public opinion, already expect from the next revival of the French letters after the bloody events of the Revolution. It is the one thus naturally which opens the way to all this plethora of famous authors who will carry the romanticism in its fulfillment. Our problem thus is to analyze the role of the authors of the beginning of the century such as Chateaubriand, Madame de Staël and Senancour in this spectacular hatching of the romantic writing. This work also aims at drawing up a complete board of the genres under the first Empire: the novel, the theater, the poetry are treated in depth by highlighting the novelties intervened in these literary forms, a particular attention is tuned to the talented figures which become famous in this literature. The press is studied in a detailed way, we were especially interested in the conditions in which the journalists wrote in papers; that is we reviewed the restrictive legislation organized by the regime to manage the public spirit. In province, the same binding measures were observed under the attentiveness of the prefects, a creation of Napoleon. The napoleonic conception of the power and its legitimacy which stand on the glory constitutes the skeleton of this chapter which analyzes profoundly the sights and the innovations of the Emperor in the management of the country affairs. So this work aspires to concern a new lighting the decade which saw Napoleon coming to power and forging an imagination since become legendary. We thus tried to correct this omission by undertaking this work which brings a new vision and a new knowledge of the first Empire outside clichés and stereotypes concerning the weakness of its literary production

Full textThis dissertation explores the constitution of the Catholic novel as a genre in the second half of the 19th century. It aims to show how Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly, Joris-Karl Huysmans and Léon Bloy were misread, partly because of the success of the genre during the 20th century. The popularity of the 20th-century Catholic novelists such as Claude Mauriac or Georges Bernanos has indeed swept away the difficulties encountered by Catholic writers over the course of this anti-clerical period. This work invetigates the reception of the Catholic novel at that time. It is based on historical researches, especially the study of Christian "bibliographies", Catholic press and edition. This provides a better understanding of Barbey d’Aurevilly, Huysmans and Bloy’s conception of Catholic novel as an original theory of art

Full textThis work aims to re-think the status of the idyll in the French literature during the 19th century by combining theory of literary genres, literary history and hermeneutics. Objecting to the common-sensical idea that the idyll has evolved into a frozen genre full of anachronical clichés after André Chénier, it provides some conceptual ressources to analyze the actual dynamics of the idyll, both in terms of form and signification. The notion follows three main logics : a rhetorical one, which places the idyll into the poetic of literary genres, an historical and philosophical one, which, since the 18th century, considers the idyll as a cue of a mythical origin and an image of the Ideal, and lastly, a psychological one, born with the romantic revolution, which understands the idyll in terms of illusion, fantasies or dreams. Because of its intrinsic complexity, the idyll provides a priviliged point of view to examine the most important changes of the modern times. This work gives an overview of the evolution of the genre during the 19th century and examines the explicit references to the idyll made by Nerval, Hugo, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Balzac and Zola in some of their major poetical works and novels. In doing so, it develops a new perspective on the crisis of the subjectivity, the crisis of literary representation and the redrawing of the traditional distinction between prose and poetry

Full textThe translation s of the Greek poet Constantine Karyotakis as well as the influence of French poets in its works constitute the subject of this study. This thesis falls within the scope of applied linguistics, translation studies and comparative litterature. The subject is examined both diachronically and synchronically. After presentation of the poet and his works, we examine the French influence in Greece and, thereafter, in the poet's works, which are distinguished in those influence by poets already translated in Greek and those inflenced by poets appaearing in the French Anthology "Poètes d'aujourd'hui". Insofar as the translated works are concerned, they were studied not only in terms of linguistics and sociolingistics but of pragmatics as well. We also investigate the transfer of the cultural elements in the translated text, and issue considered as one of the most difficult problems on translation. Furthermore, we looked into the topics and the functions of the translations in the works of Karyotakis. Having taken into considration the intercultural value of the translations we compared some of these translated works to those translated by others : a study of the translation stategies adopted as well as the translator's identity as an intercultural mediator

Full textAs a popular kind of historic novel Alexandre Dumas' cloak and dagger novel emerged between history and stories. After describing the way which le Dumas from history to historic novel, we will show - thanks to the theories of Jacques Rancière and Charles Grivel - how historic matter and literary matter melted into a new genre invented by the writer. Afterwards, we will study the fictional aspect of adventure thanks to the works of Vladimir Jankélévitch. Secondly, we will highlight some key elements of the genre such as characters and places. In so doing we will study the themes and the situations developed by the author and we will try and give a definition of Dumas's novelistic expression. The last part will bring under close scrutiny an aspect of Dumas's creation which has often been neglected by critics, that is the relation between Dumas's writing and cinematographic writing. Analysing Dumas' cloak and dagger novel first as a literary representation essentially based on the ability to show pictures and secondly as the expression of a poetics of movement will enable us to have a better grasp of the creative part underpinning dumasian production. Such a power can be construed as an early cinematographic form or, at least, as an esthetical form half way between literature and cinema

Chaudré, Anne-Cécile. "La mythologie du vêtement dans l'oeuvre d'Albert Cohen." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040238.
Full textThis thesis will examine the representation of clothing and the way it is worn in the four novels of Albert Cohen. Solal, Mangeclous, Belle du Seigneur and Les Valeureux make up a complete cycle united by the symbolism of dress. The author has the passion of a great couturier for clothes, and it is as they are dressed that the reader recalls the principal characters in these works. It is thus that the reader feels that he knows them, because the characters and their clothing leave him with an impression of intimacy. Ariane and her sail-like dress flapping in the wind, Solal and his sumptuous dressing gowns, Saltiel and his stockings of dusty rose. In these works, the outfit makes the character, and finally one discovers a garment which is the stuff of heroes. The objective of this thesis is to show that Cohen's entire fictional wardrobe is governed by the principles of symmetry, contrast and hierarchy which amount to a system of mythology. This thesis will study dress in its relationship with words, with language and with literary creation, then as an essential component in the tangled threads which gradually become the fictional community and, finally, for its different symbolic meanings and sentimental destiny. In discovering the rules and original structure, one must demonstrate finally that clothing is one of the fundamental sources for the Cohen dream-world. In the labyrinthine collection which constitutes these four novels, Ariane, a character indisputably passionate about dress, invites one, even by her name, to seize the thread and follow the trail through these works
Louichon, Brigitte. "Ces voix qui se sont tues. . : le roman féminin de 1794 à 1830." Bordeaux 3, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997BOR30054.
Full textBetween 1794 and 1830, a number of women became writers with consistent success. We analyse the meaning of this literary phenomenon from a panel of twenty-three novels, written by seven women writers: mmes de genlis, de souza, de krudener, de stael, cottin, gay and de duras. In the first part, we reconstruct their social and literary environment. In so doing, we use a number of documents, most of them unpublished yet. We show that this literature is not some kind of paraliterature but has its full place in the literary field. But women writers fiction is strongly contained and limited to the sentimental novel. The second part is an organised description of this literature. In the third part, we consider the whole of the studied novels as a corpus from which to analyse the meaning given to these texts by the readers of the time. This part offers a study of the techniques of the novels, plots, caracters, space-time outline,perception of history, particulary the revolutionary events and language used in the texts. We,then,try and find out to what extent these texts are 'rousseauist". Finally is an attempt to reveal its relationship with the tale, a genre in vogue in the 18th century. As a conclusion, we try and redefine the stakes attributed by mme de stael to the novel. As for the succes, as quick as it was ephemeral, of these novels, it seems to us due to the historical background. This literature partakes of a quest for meaning, putting forward, at the same time, thematic and stylistic echos of the violence of the times. At last, taking a few examples, we point out how the knowledge of some minor, forgotten works can contribute to feed a "sociocritique des totalites"

Full textA major scientific and philosophical concept of the eighteenth century, the Experience manifests itself in the works of the new emerging Romanticism (1795-1818); both as a privileged theme and as a contribution to an aesthetic construction.Studying the polyvocal understanding of the notion of experience in a comparative corpus, like in Novalis’, Mme de Stäel’s, Coleridge’s, Tieck’s, Senancour’s, Keats’s, to mention a few, makes it possible to observe, against a certain legacy of literary history, the nuances in the Romantic identity during its own making. The poetic analysis, combined with the diachronic perspective of the history of ideas, shows the wealth of conceptions and attitudes of Romanticism in relation to experience, from the quest to resignation, and from celebration of action to the introspective withdrawal; all while allowing the critical and academic reception of such works to be questioned regarding their role in the construction of a certain Romantic identity
Lee, Soon-Hee. "Les Œuvres complètes de Chateaubriand : une histoire éditoriale." Caen, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010CAEN1571.
Full textThe first edition of Chateaubriand’s complete works is published by Ladvocat in thirteen parts over six years. This edition is unique in two ways : it is conceived and made by the writer himself, and its successive installments are closely related to the changing contemporary political circumstances. Organised in four parts, Literature, Travel, Politics and History, this Epic of his time celebrates the progressive course of history. Proofreading and rewriting follow this same way, and Chateaubriand steadily builds the monument to his life and times as a vindication of progress. Until the twelfth part, everything points towards a glorious finale. However, the writer’s enthusiasm, waxing during the last years of the Restoration, wanes when the July Monarchy is established in 1830. Everything collapses then, and remain only the ruins of this monument, for which he had worked so passionately since 1826. The Ladvocat edition is completed in 1831, yet its history continues with the Mémoires d’outre-tombe. Published in 1848. Observing the evolution of society, Chateaubriand has endeavoured to make it understandable in the course of his complete works, and, as a memorialist, he keeps on with this project in the context of the general transformation of society, casting his gaze in the distant future where history, some day, will resume its progressive course
