Full textIn literature, the watershed between the 16th and 17th centuries was, in certain terms, the age of the pastoral. All over Europe, writers such as Torquato Tasso, Gian Battista Guarini, Guidobaldo Bonarelli, Philip Sidney, Honoré d'Urfé, Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft chose to set certain romantic works in an arcadian context. These novels and plays, because they were the symbol of a refined and aristocratic lifestyle while remaining easily accessible, were very successful. They gave rise to fashions, aroused the attention of musicians, painters and craftsmen. Although the literary works are well known to historians of literature, this is not the case of the numerous tapestries, engravings and paintings which were inspired by the texts. Artists who devoted themselves to these subjects, even though they did not always produce masterpieces, did however show imagination and knew how to translate into images the wealth of their subjects. Their production, deeply marked by the tragic-comic genre, offered to the public entertaining stories where events and romantic dramas succeeded and followed on from each other with great vitality and sometimes even humour. They are not devoid either of a certain eroticism for those who make the effort to take a second look at them

Full textFrom Spencer's Shepherd's Calendar (1579) to Milton's Comus (1637), English pastoral literature is marked by a deep tension between an intellectual adherence to Christian orthodoxy and an instinctive attachment to a metamorphic conception of being which manifested itself in a vast number of archaic rituals and festivals. Nevertheless it seems that the ancestral outlook -a mixture of paganism and mediaeval catholicism- was rather on the wane in early modern England so that Protestant, even Puritan beliefs, were more widespread in the years preceding the Civil War. . .
Bisconti, Donatella. "Luca Pulci et sa place dans la culture du XVe siècle italien." Paris 3, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA030125.
Full textLuca Pulci (1431-1470), the elder of the more famous Luigi, left us some literary works which, although appreciated by his contemporaries, have been severly criticised in the 20th century. In my thesis I intend to replace these works in the 15th century cultural context, by showing their links between them and the literary innovations which began to be outlined around the 1560's : on the one hand, the bucolic written in the vernacular, promoted by all three Pulci brothers, particulary by Luca and Bernardo, and, on the other hand, the diffusion, beyond the stricly humanistic movement, of texts in latin and Greek tongue. Luca shows, in fact, not only a large and specific knowledge of a lot of classical sources, but also of the Florentine literary tradition : he exploits them inall his works (Driadeo, Pistole, Ciriffo) with great liberty. . .

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 subject of this work is a space, the island, and its setting tis the narrative. The travel literature (Tournefort, Taynal, Bougainville, Cook) enables to determine a geographical and historical background (development of the science and the settlements towards America and Oceania). Utopia (Morelly, Lesconvel, Saint-Jory) authorizes an ideological outlook (the island releases a system of codified values). Robinsonade (Daubenton, Montagnac, Grivel, Joly, Lesuire, Longueville, Morris, Neville, Paltock, Ducray-Duminil) focuses structures which rely the narrative and the descriptive, within a kind of esthetical vision. The representation of the island collects works of the European literature where mainly two national areas (France and England) are placed side by side. Our chronological starting point is the Spanish 16th century with the publication of the 2nd part of Quixote where the island represents an allegory that extends with Gracian. 1797 is the publication date of a text of Cambry which vehicles, as Paul et Virginie, a nostalgia. Besides, Robinson Crusoe and la Nouvelle Heloise had a great importance because they turn the island towards realistic fiction and creative metaphor. Leguat, Marivaux, Prévost, Sade complete this approach. Others minor if not unknown works illustrate three important notions: insularity (landscape), "ileity" (mental representation), "isoleity" […]

Full textThe representation of the poet in the French pre-classical age is a good index to the transformations that occured in poetry in the first third of the XVIIe century. The study deals with the images of the poet that can be met in prose writings with a theoretical or apologetic aim, as well as in prefaces, letters and the works of the main poets of the period. Among the latter, Malherbe, Théophile de Viau, Tristan l'Hermite and Saint-Amant typify the various currents and genres that came to be associated with a poetry which has sometimes been described as « baroque » or « mannerisitic ». The figures that haunt the literary imagination of the period fall into several categories ; the mythological or Biblical characters, such as Orpheus, Amphion, Moses or David embody the divine and pragmatic dimension of a poetry that is supposed to have a bearing on reality. But this aspect tends to become less prominent in poetic works which register a major change in the image of the poet, whose action can no longer operate within the realm of the real, but merely in the order of discourse. Similarly, inspiration tends to become second to melancholy, which emerges as the new physiological model in the delineation of the intellectual processes at work in poetic creation. The rhetorical concepts inherited from antiquity and circulated by the Pléïade undergo, in turn, modifications indicative of the pride of place given to the individual poetic subject at the expense of more constraining archetypes. The poet, now viewed as literay object as much as poetic subject, bears witness, through his successive metamorphoses, to the emergence of a new literary field, distinct both from a theological authority that can now be dispensed with, and from a rhetorical apparatus that absorbed poetry into the art of discourse. The figure of the poet, therefore, serves as a reliable guide to the birth of literature as such in the pre-classical age, at a time when poetry has not yet been eclipsed by drama and the novel is still in its infancy

Full textIn the Elizabethan period, the image of the labyrinth was being re-appropriated in several ways, all based on an ideal first championed by Horace : discordia concors. Throughout Antiquity, the story related to Theseus and the Minotaur had been retold many times, by authors such as Pliny, Ovid, Plutarch, whose texts were to be digested by translators. Renaissance England could boast, too, of an impressive medieval heritage, which favoured the didactic transmission of the myth : the influence of clerical writings linked to the idea of the unicursal maze, one way leading to God, contributed to the popularization of the legend. Gradually, the symbol was secularized during the sixteenth century. Although mythic multicursal paths proliferated in gardens, representations, danse and poetry, they reached their climax on stage. As an obsessional motif, the labyrinth is a hermeneutic key revealing new interpretative tracks exploring a multisemic theatre, whose possibilities remain to be exploited
Gutierrez, Laffond Aurore. "Théâtre et magie dans la littérature dramatique du XVIIè siècle." Toulouse 2, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998TOU20067.
Full textThe purpose of this study, "theatre and magic in the dramatic literature of the 17th century" is to show how and why the theatre of that century reflected the different forms of the irrational. It is meant to shed light on a subject often left in the shade, perhaps on account of the prevailing image of French classicism yearning for order, reason and clarity. Pre-scientific thinking in the early 17th century remained indeed highly dependent on the learned magic of the renaissance. Kepler and Galilee were as many astrologers as astronomers and the passing of a comet, seriously interpreted as an ill-fated foreboding still in 1680, spread terror among the population. Medicine was still astrophile and influenced by Paracelsus's theory of marks. The most enlightened minds remained under the spell of the marvelous, kept alive and renewed by emblematic. Royal mystic under Louis XIV took on a magic dimension, magnified by the solar emblem. Awe of the devil and of woman assumed the form of witch hunting until after 1650 through the affairs of possession of Loudun, Louviers, and Aix. . . Etc. The Affair of the Poisons in 1679 was also a resurgence of the magic spells and black masses. The first part of the study analyses the reality of this magic. How this magic mentality was depicted varied with the literary genres. Such serious genres as tragedy, musical tragedy and to a lesser extent tragi-comedy - in the second part of the study - reveal the constant fascination of the 17th century for the magic marvelous, both veiled and sublimated by myths. Armida's gardens were the symbol of the dream of love just as the destruction of the enchanted palace was the symbol of its impossibility. Magic in comedy, developed in the third part, reflects more directly the reality of magic and of its avatar, witchcraft. The theme showed a great variety of registers in the pre-Moliere productions, in pastorals, tragi-comedies and comedies. Sometimes a lofty poetry is inspired by the baroque themes of the illusion, of the mirror, of the metamorphosis of the self and of the world, of the dead-alive, while the theme of the devil, the witch and the satire played upon the whole spectrum of laughter. From Moliere onwards comedy stressed the denunciation of imposture previously initiated with a determination that testified to the long-lasting survival of superstition and the ancient magic mentality
Moreau, Isabelle. "Les stratégies d'écriture des libertins au XVIIème siècle." Saint-Etienne, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005STET2097.
Full textSeventeenth century libertinism does not constitute a single harmonious philosophy, nor does it reduce to mere anti-christianism. Libertine thought is obviously in conflict with christian doctrine, but should not be reduced to this conflict alone : libertinism possesses its own logic and coherence, which it is important to grasp in order to understand authorial strategies. The analysis of the libertine protocol of reading and writing — their complex style, their rhetorical use of quotations, their irony — seems to us the best approach. Gabriel Naudé, François de la Mothe le Vayer, Cyrano de Bergerac and Charles Sorel read a very select library of books which they appropriate before beginning to write their own. To understand what is at stake in this protocol, it is important to determine the philosophical, rhetorical and stylistic coherence of libertine discourse. In the fields of religion, history and natural philosophy, the libertines tackle the question of knowledge from a very critical standpoint. Two domains — historiography and the reading of travelers’ accounts of their journeys — seem especially significant. Our authors elaborate an image of man and the world which competes with christian representations. Man loves myths : he has an inherent tendency to abandon critical distance. The libertines believe that it is most important to analyse the psychological mechanism that gives birth to conviction and belief. Writing strategies are the philosopher’s rhetorical answer to the anthropological analysis of human beliefs

Full textThe classical age, as a social value, represents a decisive moment in the history of literature. From then on, the concept of the writer as a character was given a meaning and his status, still in a shaping state (and therefore ambiguous), was established. This piece of work finds its origin in this acknowledgement. The writer as a character takes shapes in parallel to the making of the literary institutions, and this simultaneity installs a literature of the literary and of the institutions. Asking oneself questions about the images of the writer meant in fact asking oneself a series of questions about literature and about those who take part in it. On the other hand, it allowed us to give an account of the conflicts between writers over the status of their work and functions. Discussing the image of the writer leads to the unveiling of the practice of the literary field and on its relations to the writer-shaping personality. There is a dual image of the writer : it is the result of creation, and it is also a theoric and aesthetic stake. The literary stake remains within the social stake of the literary field. The literary practice carries the mark of social ideals, from which they were born. The image of the writer invents, in its own special way, a new conception of literature but, at the same time, backs up the idea that a writer is a human being and a source of exchange s

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the way of writing death in the elite of the second part of the seventeenth century. Two types of literary testimonies -letters of consolation and narratives of death-have been analyzed. But few exceptions, discourse on death in the letters of consolation is not original: the same themes are developed in every letter; besides, they were already appearing in antic consolations. On the contrary, the narrative of death proved to be a strategic place where are in confrontation the influence of patterns, the writer's tricks and his own sensibility. Thus, the hagiography has seemed to doubly influence the representation of death: on one hand, it explains the constitution of a language of death, in which simple facts became signs of the dead people's godliness; on the other hand, it contributes to explain the permeability of the mentalities to the marvelous facts which arrive at death. But deathbed and public execution are also related through theatric and pictorial forms which are characteristic of their spectacular nature. Sudden death offers two faces: some consider it as the bad death, others as a desirable issue. This double discourse favored a strategical use of the narrative. Finally, two works have been submitted to a particular light: Mme de Sévigné's letters and Mr. De Pontis' memoirs offer a treatment of death narratives which is original and emblematic of the elite's practice

Full textThis thesis aims at studying venitian society at the beginning of the 18th century through bartolomeo dotti's satire. Therefore, in a first time, before considering his vision, we have tried to define this witness, first as a simple citizen, then as a satirical author. After these premisses we give an idea of venitian society as it appears in the poet's satire. The periplus this compositions are the pretext of begins with the coming of the actors on the scene. We then consider them through the manifestations of their sociability and we try to value their political and economical insertion in the venetian society at the turn of the xviith and the xviiith century. The third and last part wants to show two aspects which are less contradictory than it looks : on the one hand we have the denouncement of the "universal masquerade" witch goes together with the constation of the generalised inversion of values and on the other hand the sincere affirmation of middle-class values, which imply the supremacy of money and the valutation of persons upon their earnings

It endeavours to show exactly the pray a real "golden age of information about Islam" will emerge in the late 17th century. This was a genuine moment of the Enlightenment, a period when the authors will henceforth favour the Muslim sources to write about Islam. Thus by becoming a subject of knowledge, Islam and Muhammad inspire political, philosophical and religious thoughts and the history and the present of Muslims with a feeling of deep respect. The texts relating to Muhammed, the Kuran, theology and the numerous critical assays are hence published on a new model which breaks with the hostile and controversial tradition related to the approach of Islam and its promoter and reduced by apologetics to their religious dimension, a tradition which will not be abandoned but which will take a renewed form all through the18th century to lead to a radically condemnation of the Muslin world and authors who were supposed to be panegyrist relatively unscrupulous of science. Studying this controversial tradition through its view, its transformation, detecting the moment from whish the premises of a real change in the view of Islam start to emerge showing who the precursors and their continuators are, the methods of research what they use and when exactly "this golden age" tend to fall, explaining the reasons, those are the issues in the study focused on a corpus of almost 250 various books, and which is meant to be a contibution to the history of ideas

Full textThe narrative in the comédies during the period 1630-1660 has an exploratory function. First of all, the narratives explore the limits set by the poetics of the XVIIe century, by circumventing the impératives of unification, rules of etiquette and of plausibility. By going around the rules in this way. They introduce a discontinuity in perception. They explore the boundaries of stage intrigue, by offering the possibility of other stories or characters, that compete with the traditional endings in comedies. Through this, they equally explore the very limits of the genre by inserting sequences that are generically heterogeneous to comedies. In this manner, they compensate for the theoretical silence by confronting within the drama itself a visible comic intrigue with tragic, romanesque or epic narrative episodes. Therefore, these narratives endow the comedies with the aesthetics of the counterpoint (theoretical, dramatic, generic)

Full textAncient Fables are the public goods for the artists. In this PhD I focus on the fable of Adonis both as object for scholars and for writers. While ancient myths are seen are conveying knowledge, through allegorical interpretation, I try to make clear how in addition literature models the fable ? I study throughout the writings of mid-XVIth century to the end of the XVIIth how the different transmitters of the fable of Adonis (translators, editors and scholars) keep remodelling them. This myth, first considered as written in a coded sacred language, is turned by scholars and then by writers into an edifying fable. Adonis, whose principal source becomes more and more the Metamorphoses, is seen as no longer bringing knowledge about God, but about Nature and human beings. The modelling of the fable of Adonis through literature consists in selecting the scholars’ data, rearranging the sources and choosing different literary genres for rewriting it. Three distinct periods clearly emerge. First, the fable is reshaped by poetry through metaphors, then, in the 1620’s, by edifying narratives, finally, after 1660, by lyrical dramas and tragedies. The Adone by Marino plays a crucial part in this later metamorphose. Overall, the fable of Adonis in pre-modern France is neither empty representation, nor pure imagery or symbolic myth, but it indeed epitomizes yearnings for love and peace educated society

Full textThis thesis examines the correlation between scientists' mental representations of natural phenomena, representations that are themselves often images, and the scientific imagery forged by poets who are inspired by the same phenomena; analogy and metaphore are used by poet and scientist alike. In english poetry of the earlier seventeenth century, a period known for its many scientific discoveries, scientific imagery is highly fashionable. The sciences studied here - magnetism, optics, astronomy, meteorology, alchemy and medicine - all deal with phenomena, frequently invisible, that are linked to motion, at a time when classical mechanics is being constituted. "metaphysical" poetry, characterized by the use of complex metaphors (or conceits), is at the centre of our analysis which gives particular importance to the poetry of john donne, henry vaughan, andrew marvell and george herbert, but also embraces the work of other writers, such as george champman, william shakespeare, ben jhonson and above all john milton, insofar as they incorporate scientific imagery into their verse

Full textAt the time of Molière, comedy tries out varied plots, from the simplest to the most complicated. Some of the characters are leaders and makes others behave as they please, just as puppet masters would do. They often belong to the domestic staff, but they may come from any other background as well. Selfish or generous, they act with all types of purposes, often with the view to helping people in love, and they succeed most of the time. Sometimes, however, they fail despite their wit, their common sense, and their unfailing self-control. Their abilities are countless. They can define a very complex plot, choose and prepare their accomplices, look for setting and props. They can therefore be regarded as forerunners of today's producers. As well as organizers, they all are outstanding actors, gifted as imitators and inventors of languages. Their gift at expressing themselves, joined with a sense of humor, sometimes makes them able to speak for their father

Full textThe present sudy sets out to chart a late 17th century liberal problematic in the development of ideas, themes and literary representations in france. The mercantile conception of the real, controlling human relationships, produces the evolution of history, of society and of the ideas which convey man's conception of history and society in the form of tendancies: the tendancy to promote exchange, exchange value, motivation based on financial interests, the tendancy to exacerbate egocentricity, the tendancy which leads to the formation of a class of owners and manipulators of money and to the conquest and colonisation of the world. These movements express themselves in a new literary practice opposed to classicism, that is to say opposed to order, to measure, to the respecting of rules within a literature closed in upon itself and upon human psychology. This practice takes the form of remarks, reflections and diverse thoughts, characters, dialogues and dictionaries. These new literary forms can be explained by their critical function in relation to the established order and their reaction to the new human condition is characterised by oppositionned ideas irreductible to the hitherto dominant ideology or to the aesthetic norms which it imposed

Human beings are at the center of preoccupations, as members of a society that is subject of an ethnographical approach

Full textIn the XVIIh century, Virgin Martyrs worship in the Spanish royal court, and particularly in the Royal Convent of the Encarnación, funded by Queen Margaret of Habsburg in 1611, is linked to the “Catacombs spirit” which then dominates Rome. From this centre, this keen interest for these saints, pictured as members of God’s court, conquers Spain. Martyrdom is combined with the notion of patronage, first for specific churches at local and regional levels, but also in the representation of the power of royal family women. Royalty then forces its way as a new hagiographic criteria for profane feminine sanctity. These phenomenons are apparent in the theatrical, poetical and pictorial portrayal of Virgins and martyrs : their sanctity is shaped in images and the story of their vita portrayed

Full textThe French theatre in the beginning of the 17th century presents the sentimental adventures which reflect the different ideologies of love. In this dramatic world where love is the principal factor of plot, the characters let themselves be guided by numerous codes of passion and react according to certain conventional procedures. On the way to amorous conquest, some of them idealize their emotion, make the beloved an object of devotion, and in order to deserve it - try to perfect the virtues of faithfulness and bravery. Others, being victims of the ardent passion, do not hesitate to satisfy their instinct, even by committing murderous acts. Some others indulge in flighty love and pass from one sensual pleasure to another. As different as they are, all these lovers make an effort to fulfil their desires. Inspired by the force of love, they apply a typical language full of comparisons and images, which does revive the poetic world of Petrarch

Full textIn XVIIth-century France, magic belongs to an ambiguous vocabulary but is a properly literary category since it is stylised. Besides epic and novel, it occurs mainly in theatrical arts (pastoral, ballet, opera). The magician is a type who complies with a proper rhetoric and holds specific positions, ornamental ones in particular. The character of the magician introduces to another order of verisimilitude which heightens the status of his opponents. His "charm" serves as a common reference of a fancy in all the fields of written works ; he can besides be parodied, and even serve to denounce superstition (in comedy). Stemming from everyday life, magic in fact serves as catharsis for the irrationality of the XVIIth-century. From 1581 to 1735 at least, it establishes its permanence by adapting itself to all situations and being compatible with the other types of marvellous (mythological and Christian ones), as is shown by the characters of Circea, Medea and Armide

Full textDuring the 17th century, the idea of vanity arises, and gives its name to a new genre of paintings, and roots Pascal's Pensées. Vanitas paintings handle the vanity an original way, as the Pensées do, aiming the inconsistency of humanness, without considering the possibility of Salvation. Both of them say that the human being is mortal, and indeed nothing in his own life. Would such a discourse only be possible: to which extent is it possible to look at yourself in your own misery? In Vanitas paintings, the pleasant character of images may conceal the acknowledgement of misery. What about texts? These texts deal with this paradox, according to their institutional position. The thesis defines three spaces for the discourse of vanity: in order to go beyond the notion of vanity, the institutional discourse integrates it into a religious framework. Funeral discourses artificially exorcise it, but do not dissolve it. Intimate discourses finally reveal the distress in front of vanity

Full textIn Greek tragedies or French classical tragedies, the aesthetic production of the meaning of the tragic effect is based on a method of connection : the determine role of the visible space and the invisible space. The latter creates a tragical space that coincides with the imaginary of the spectator and throws " the sign of transcendency " back to him. Thus, the spectator can go beyond his pathetic first emotion to reach the tragical conscience. This space needs to be configured, the interpreter of a dramaturgic system : " the poetical mediator ". The examination of Greek tragedies and French classical tragedies shows that this mediatory role can be taken charge by deeply unlike characters, on the one hand , the messenger , on the other hand , the confident, no without revealing the presence of a constant structure in spite of the distant sociohistorical backgrounds

Full textThis work analyzes the dynamics of the myth of the Romanian medieval prince as it reveals itself in the Romanian literature of the XVI-th and XVII-th centuries. Teachings of Neagoe Basarab to his son Theodosius is the literary text used for a comparative analysis between the imaginary of the Byzantine and Romanian political and religious rituals. Dimitrie Cantemir's Hieroglyphic History is the baroque text chosen to reveal the decline of the medieval prototype during the XVII-th century. Our analysis proves that Gilbert Durand's theory of the "semantic area” works also within the Romanian culture, and the fundamental myths are submitted not only to development and decline but also to subsistence periods when they can be used as instruments of political propaganda (the case of the Romanian communism)

Full textThe Renaissance and Baroque ages inherited a rich theoretical tradition of metaphoric thought : a tradition both rethorical and spiritual which, from Aristotle to Tesauro, taking in the Church Fathers, tends to consider the trope not only as an distinguished embellishment, but also as a tool for freeing thought to a ‘’ higher meaning ‘’. Far from confining it within the strict use of ornatus, the religious poets of the Baroque age, puffed up with biblical culture, use the metaphor as a favourite instrument for deciphering the Bible and christian mysteries but also as an aid for teaching and emotion, capable of assisting the « devout » reader in his meditation. This peculiar metaphoric writing does not exist without some contradictory aspects : both medieval and baroque in its inspiration, excessive and controlled, educational and ingenious, weak and substantial, it illustrates the contradictory status of image in a spiritual context. This study intends to take in various approaches, both theoretical and practical, in order to define the outlines of the poetic in baroque religious metaphors, through a large corpus of religious poets (Jean Baptiste Chassignet, Jean de La Ceppède, Jean de Sponde, Jean Auvray, Antoine Favre, Pierre Poupo)

Full textThe double monsters (creatures with two sexes, two bodies or two heads, such as androgynes, hermaphrodites, joint Gemini) were, in the 16th and 17th centuries, notable figures because there were many them and because they raised distressing issues. The double monster is, on the one hand, a sign announcing schims and civils wars, a sick or deviant figure ; but it is also sometimes announcing reconciliation and is a symbol of concord, peace and love. This study aims at reflecting on the meaning of these double monters. Our hypothesis is that they hold a discourse of a political nature on the Other (among a corpsb or a city). But that discourse, from the first religious conflicts (1562) to the publication of The Southern Land Known by Foigny (1676), evolved. The first part of this study is devoted to the definition of the single family of myths, including Hermaphrodite, the Androgyne, Janus, the Gemini and Narcissus. It shows how, from Antiquity onwards, those figures have been questioning the relation to the other. The second part reveals how those figures have become, in the 16th and 17th centuries, the ambivalent political emblens of war as well as peace, of order as well as disorder. The third part explains how novelists and poets have concentrates on the hermaphrodite. It analyses how and why that equivocal and hunted monster became, in the 17th century, the mouthpiece of a new State that does no longer tolerate otherness, and yet needs it

Full textThe theorical questioning of certain practices of writing used in the novel around 1660, such as description, menaces the presence of nature. In actuality, the elements of nature remain fairly well represented; they not only play a role at the heart of the intrigue, but also fulfill ornamental and even symbolic functions. The influence of this questioning is particularly perceived in the modification of the literary codes. From the locus amoenus the authors retain only the notion of pleasure which is omnipresent in the representation of exterior space: this new image is best incarnated in the garden which is constructed upon the principle of a moderated idealization. In this renewed space, the novelists incorporate seemingly contradictory events. Nature is at once a sanctuary of intimacy, a place for reverie and love, and a forum for social life. The literary discourse mirrors the habits of the high society of the period. This satisfied the tastes of the readers of novels. It is not, however, the author's intention to simply create a simple backdrop, but to enrich the novel using this ambiguity in a strategy of verisimilitude
Peyré, Yves. "La mythologie dans la tragédie élisabéthaine." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA040013.
Full textThe analysis of mythological expression in Elizabethan tragedy rests on a study of the functions and conceptions of mythology in the culture of the English Renaissance. A diversity of mythographic approaches led to multiple, simultaneous readings of each myth, while inviting reflection on the problems of interpretation. At the same time, mythology contributed to literary and religious controversies. The emergence of a fashion for mythical elaboration centred on the sovereign paralleled that of scientific scepticism. Tragedy, which explores the magnifying and belittling potentialities of mythological rhetoric, and sets in play symbolic structures that progress from allegory to irony, raises questions about the nature and role of signs. Mythology, a language of stimulating syntheses also expressive of deep fractures, is used to create dramatic tension or ironic effects of anamorphosis in which it may be possible to apprehend what the Elizabethan mind viewed as tragic, that is to say, whatever undermined the combined ideals of renovatio and integratio. Finally, in exploring the expressive potentialities of mythology, the Elizabethans may have arrived at an intuitive inkling of what would become the concept of myth, as related to tragedy

Full textAlgiers in Golden Age yields the image of a human time cloaked in myths but also influenced by historic reality. To the natural golden age echoes the golden imagery of an opulent corsair city whom the sea bestowed a general prosperity and a vitality that was to last until 1648. Trapped in the web of a conflicting history with the Christian world, haunted by the spectre of disavowal and moorish danger, often reduced to slavery, Algiers is the subject of an imaginary flood which leads up to the birth of a black legend. In capturing the fears of the Christian world, the representation of Algiers opens on to a new hell fraught with devilish creatures. An extra-ordinary time-space marked by an array of phenomena sets the limits of a surnatural sphere. Algiers' counter-nature becomes a school for perfecting. It is the era of martyrdom. A golden legend rooted in christian misfortunes and the spanish awareness of a manifest and messianic destiny in the making. The eschatologic projectious bringing to life the allegorical theatre of the last judgement use Algiers as a backdrop to metaphysical issues according to a revealed chronology. In between human time and divine time, for chirstian Spain, the corsair city appears as the salvation path turning temporal evil into eternal good

Full textThis study stands at the crossroads of arts and town planning. It analyses French comedy from the period 1550-1650 in the light of its relationship to the town. Poetic and architectural arts both assign to the theatre of laughter the representation of everyday city life. What best characterises farce and comedy is not as much their classification as literary genres as the fact that they are both urban shows. The first two parts of our study show that the relationship between theatre and town go both ways. On the one hand, the town of comedy can be defined as a show-town and, on the other hand, society itself was undergoing a process of "dramatisation". Laughter and the town echo each other; comedy both reveals and catalyses the process of "urbanisation". The third part considers the interlocking planes of the town and shows how 1550-1650 comedy plays with the limits of the town. As they unfold the metaphor of siege and conquest, these plays spin a web of connections between city gates, house doors and the genitals of female protagonists. By probing the foundations of this metaphor we can simultaneously clarify the meaning of the art of comedy and reflect on the symbolic foundations of the town. The imaginative world of the theatre-town examines the relationship that connects libido with war. Considering the way it uses space, comedy can be said to stage a parody of a siege. It involves reflection on genealogy in order to present the foundations of the law
