Preiss, Nathalie. "Les Physiologies en France au 19e siècle : étude littéraire et stylistique." Paris 4, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040287.
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

Full textWhereas, in the european republic of letters, the tradition of a learned and neo-latin historiography of letters perpetuates itself, in france, in the 16th and 17th centuries, a purely french tradition of literary history is formed, which defines, characterizes and judges a patrinomy ofletters in the vernacular. This new french literary history is founded upon the idea that letters form a domain of excellence in the kingdom of france. Thus, in the 16th and 17th centuries, in that reflexive soul-searching of men of letters, historiogrpahic schemes and representations are elaborated, which try to consecrate the "modern" french letters and invent the concept of a national cultural identity

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 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 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 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 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.
Laumaillé-Hache, Sophie. "Rhétorique et passion : le sublime au XVIIe siècle." Paris 4, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA040231.
Full textMeeting the great aesthetical interrogations of the XVIIith century, the debates about the notion of sublime are rich in paradoxes and raise many rhetorical questioning. Introduced in the literary world by the polemics on Guez de Balzac, amply developed by the theoricians of the holy eloquence, disclosed to the public by the publishing of the Longin's treatise by Boileau, this thought on the sublime considers the discourse as an +irresistible force ; that ravishes the souls beyond the hierarchy of styles. Using lexical, stylistic, logical and semantical aids, this study intends to determine what are the main theorical requirements proposed by the treatises about eloquence. Then, its aim is to confront these requirements, often based on the tension between the quest of unaffectedness and the art of passions, with the exemplification sometimes associated with them. The matter is to ask oneself to which extend the rhetorical thought on the sublime leads to a renewal of the reception reserved to the literary work. In this viewpoint, the quotations derived from texts written in the XVIIith century by French authors further fruitfully the exploration of a classic pantheon on the way to completion
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
Gefen, Alexandre. "Vies imaginaires : le récit biographique comme genre littéraire aux dix-neuvième et vingtième siècles." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040208.
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 textThe 14th and 16th centuries were particularly rich in musical research and innovation, aspiring to a closer relationship between music and lyrics, and to the development of expression. These conditions - tied to a new interest for nature in the arts - encouraged the onomatopoeic creation in Italian and French profane vocal music. By the privileged relationship it imposes between notes and words and by its expressive character, onomatopoeia contributed to the evolution of musical language. The notion of imitation appears here as being secondary, the selection of the phonemes depending mostly on an arbitrary choice and on a convention respected by all composers. In the 16th century Italian and English madrigal forms and French "chanson", onomatopoeia's function is first of all symbolic, diverting, and corresponds to the expressive sensibilities of the period's musicians

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 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 textMany changes were made to the prose narrative in the 1660s: the structure was simplified and the subject matter was drawn closer to the readers' interests. Shorter forms called "petits romans", "histoires", "nouvelles" replaced long heroic novels. Around the same period, there were numerous attempts at codifying what a novel was. Highlighting the distinctions between long and short novels, these writings noted the changes and construed them as a shift in the genre. The 1660s can be heralded as a turning point in the theorisation of the genre. This interpretation induces an exhaustive study of the texts dealing with the novel form in the 17th c. In order to compare the poetics and the writing of novels. In the first middle of the century, the theory was apologetic in tone, since the aim was to define the novel against its opponents. A notable characteristic of these writings was that they were either in favour or against it. However the French fiction, progressively seen both as a legitimate literary type and, in the eyes of readers, as a genre, triggered a thorough study of the status and the aim of a prose narrative. The years 1660s witnessed the birth of the poetics of the novel, which went well beyond codification to focus on the impact of a narrative. For the first time the novel was considered as a literary genre. As a consequence the change in the novel had more in common with rhetorics and ethics than aesthetics. The "art de l'éloignement", which reigned as the predominant narrative rule in the first period, was superseded by the art of verisimilitude. This deeply modified the status of both the author and reader and transformed the ideological impressions it made

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.

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

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 textThe study of the output of romantic literature in france between 1827 and 1840 highlights the dominant position occupied during these years by a genre which contemporary critics and the authors themselves defined as universal. The period is remakable in that novels (second-rate novels or recognised masterpieces) appear capable of going beyond and indeed absorbing all other genres. In 1827, the "Préface of Cromwell" affirmed the desire of the "romantiques" to break free of genre-imposed limits. However, the Hugolien thesis triumphed less easily in drama than in fiction, which alone was able to merge all genres, traditional or otherwise. However, in 1840, the novel ceased to be such a "laboratory of genres" where anything goes: firstly, it once again resorted to clichés with the emergence of the serialised novel and mass-produced literature and, secondly, it abandoned genre-related excentricities in order to move towards realism in the novel. However, the hybrid novel of 1830, is multi-faceted in the way in which it merges the various genres, which fluctuate between between anarchy and order. Thence, by incorporating history and drama, the novel gains in terms of credibility and overall unity. However, at the same time, a wave of quietly ironic works mocked the aspirations of this generation to create a "total" novel : absorbing and deforming everything in their path, these fragmented works circumvented and renewed obsolete genres and even sought to go beyond their limits. By tacking all the various genres, they appear to be challenging literature itself, but as part of a movement from which the romantic novel, apparently badly shaken, emerges reinvigorated. This regenerative capacity can be found in novels which are apparently unclassifiable, which, for example, veer first towards dialogue-based genres, the towards poetry, seeking another type of harmony between the genres within a novel, towards whose development they contribute just as much as the ironic novels
Grandjean, Valérie. "L’ œuvre d’imagination de Remy de Gourmont : une fantaisie symboliste de l’intelligence." Montpellier 3, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006MON30032.
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 textThey are Ideas born out of fascination and awe. They are Images, crystallizing archetypes and topoi claimed by the authors. They are Vocations, indeed declinable but socially and culturally determined; They are Disquietude resulting from their awareness of the limitation on their destinies, being fenced in by the anthropology and the mythology generated by the discourse of mesmerized males. They are this Vibrato endowed with a cathartic and propitiatory function in this century which is a feminine golden age. They : plural representing the diversity in their feminine vocations in search of their identities

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. The second part examines poems and novels following struturalist's method. This dissertation tries to tell how important was writing for these writers. Just to be and to constitute a specific identity

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 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 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 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. The thesis lastly shows that in addition to the use of "normal" proper names, there are much distortion that allows other mays of meaning Maupassant’s short stories

Full textThis study poses the problem of the place of the popular element in minor renaissance narratives. To avoid any theoretical presuppositions, the popular element is forst considered in its immediate manifestations in the nouvelles, mainly through its connectedness with material reality. As noted by m. Bakhtin, the popular element could be defined by an attachment to the culture of the public square : folklore, carnivals, liberation of language, the material and corporeal underside. However, these forms of popular culture may stem from old pagan rites or fall within the province of entertainment for the literati. The nouvelles offer a more wide-ranging representation of the popular element. Very often in these the common people are confronted with the representatives of power and knowledge, and defend an ideal of peace, moderation, constructiveness, harmony with tradition and communication, thus echoing the ideas of humanism and reform. The popular element thus covers a dynamic notion, often expressive of the writers' point of view, and proves to be a category questioning traditional boundaries between men, classes and cultures
