Full textThe first part aims at defining exoticism and the succesive stage of the evolution of this notion in literature. The second part emphasizes the difference between the wides pread appeal of exoticism among the public, from 1870 to 1918, and among the writers, who wish to react against the prevailing mentality of their time. A close study of the literary field allow us to place loti and segalen in the literature of this time. The last three parts show that loti and segalen share a common conception of exoticism : as opponents to "tourism" and "colonialism", they set a time and geographical distance between what is "here" and "there"; by identifying themselves with the far east and china, they be tray a "split" identity

Full textPierre Loti is still considered by most readers as old-fashioned. But being old-fashioned, or even moreout-of-fashion is an essential characteristic of Loti’s mind and stylistics. This study aims at showing how time isa fundamental key in reading Pierre Loti’s books and in understanding his aesthetics, which betray his rathertemporal than geographic relationship to the world. Loti is not less than obsessed by time: time goes by in apermanent flow that generates loss – an ambivalent loss which is both positive and negative, desired and feared.The past is comforting because intangible. This research explores Loti’s childhood as a retrospective memory, aliterary construction and a mythologizing of self. Childhood is a paradise lost which Loti will always regret witha deep melancholy as his own travels can be seen later on as a quest for Eden, but for an Eden that will alwaysappear already ruined. Then, the essay suggests an analysis of the construction of a heteronymic identity: JulienViaud becomes Pierre Loti by the powers of literature, travesty, parties’ entertainment and scenographies of theself. This other self, completing, not competing with the other one, can be considered as a construction fulfillingthe losses of his own life. In the same manner, the death of his older brother determines his search of fictive andreal manly otherness, as well as it innervates his work with further disappearances replaying the original one.Therefore, the essay highlights the staging of failure in different novels of the author, the death of heroes leading to an explanation of Loti’s fascination for death. At last, Loti’s work is being looked over through thecriteria of melancholy of sight, nostalgia of writing and blandness of stylistics, in order to unveil the width of hisfondness for things past, always preferred to the present ones, or to events to come. An this because the past –even if chimerical – is Loti’s only refuge against his feeling of the vanity of life

Full textThe life of pierre loti, origin of his oeuvre and starting point of this thesis reveals the importance of the very idealized mother figure. She does not only appaer in his autobiographical texts. His novels and the relations of his travels recounting the other, either french or foreign, man or woman, attest the impossibility of making close relationships because of this particular attachment to the mother. This aspect is developed in this thesis. The death of the exotic heroine who, whether adored or detested is never really considered as a human being, and the unfortunate fate of the french fiancee confirm the failure of the encounter between the traveller and the feminine-other. The only notable exception being fatou-gaye, the senegalese lover and mother. The travellernarrator seems to feel better in the company of sailors whom he sees as brothers. Often from brittany, they show regional peculiarities like the spahi from the cevennes and the basque ramuntcho. All of them are similar to the primitive people from africa or tahiti that the traveller has never reencountered, thinking they are too crude, nor the too westernized asian people. India keeps him too far away to seduce him. On the contrary, the orient where time stands still, attracts him. It offers him paintings where the other is only an apparition before being erased. For the canvas clears in the course of his writing. The sea has only the appearance of a means of access to somewhere else and also to the other. The taste of the traveller for wide spaces (deserts, seas) or enclosed areas (islands, caves, especially of his chilhood garden) confirms this feeling he was constantly searching to return to his childhood rather than to get closer to the others, whom finally he reduces in variety. He ends with a universal need of belief and love which he was not able to fulfill for himself. At the end of his journeys, if there is nowhere he feels at home, at least, he has learned through all his scenes, the identity of the writer

Full textPierre Loti has approached and described on many countries in the world. Particularly, China, Korea and Japan as far as the Far East are concerned. The documentary value of this writer's texts confirmed by external elements is outstanding. Loti’s regard, emotive and response towards these three countries he perceives and judges are often surprising and unexpected to the reader. His natural and human frameworks with the people who animate and particularize it, his forceful cultural and aesthetic potentialities are the two modes of a contrastive, ambivalent experience dominated by excess, hypertrophic impressions. This division of the image brings the following truth to light. Loti is keen on working on the more superficial, anecdotic details of the everyday life to accede to the universal and to the confirmation of his inner philosophy on things and beings

Full textPierre loti, a late nineteenth century travelling writer, sought for an answer to the anguish of emptiness through his various journeys. In his narratives dealing more specifically with civilizations in which non revealed religions prevailed, and while still retaining the critical attitude inherited from his education, the intellectual curiosity of his and willingness to adhere gave rapidly way to disenchantment and pessimism
Abdul-Khalek, Zaher. "La poétique de l'Orient dans l'oeuvre de Pierre Loti." Toulouse 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997TOU20099.
Full textOur thesis, the poetry of the east in pierre loti's works, replaces loti's exoticism and orientalism in a long tradition of exotic and oriental writing and develops the style of apoetical otherness resulting from it. Starting from linguistic material, we have analysed loti's image of the east, an image at once enchanted, in the process of being disenchanted and apocalyptic. Let us remark that the enchanted version applies the dream pattern to the east not only as a metaphor but also as an oneiric process. As for the disenchanted version of the east, it makes modernism and the tourists responsible for what he describes as the death struggle of oriental countries. Similarly, we have substantiated our study of enunciation through an intertextual approach including comparisons with the arabian nights, sleeping beauty and saint john's revelation. Our study of loti's poetical prose deals with the taxinomic function of the figure "three" and mathesic procedures (such as peregrenism, quotations from the bible, the koran and other islamic texts, embedded letters). Moreover, we have compared loti's interruption technique with its equivalent in prose poetry. Loti's achievements as a painter have proved an interesting basis for the study of his treatment of light in descriptions. This approach has finally led us to undertake an intersemiotic analysis of some of loti's drawings, comparing them with the cooresponding descriptions

Full textBased on the recent and still debated notion of autofiction, four narrations of Pierre Loti, making up a tetralogy by their geographical, chronological and dramatic coherence, will be analyzed : Aziyadé (1879), Fantôme d’Orient (1892), Les Désenchantées (1906) et Suprêmes visions d’Orient (1921). This work's aim will be to bring out a lotian poetic through the exploration of a set of writing techniques founding the autofictional generic drift : play on pseudonyms, implicit reading pacts through the paratext and the various text modalizations, metalepses and intertwined figures, semi-mythical narrative time and space, heroic and fantastic approach of the hero narrator, omnipresence at last, of the intertext with a considerable proportion of autofiction

Full textThe problem of the otherness is inherent to the fictionnelle activity of pierre loti. This one practises an autobiographical work by highlighting its own experience. The aubiography becomes confused withe the writing of the other one. The otherness and the identity are seized in an imaginary report where the creation works at the limit between the reality and the fantasy which are presented as inextricable. The thesis interrogates the sense of the journey of pierre loti and the problematic report which it maintains with the other one which is studied as alter-ego. Owr work gets organized around two axes: the woman and the religion. The sublimation of the exotic woman is the alternative to the suffering which invades the author in front of the boredom. Pierre 's report with the mystic space defines itself according to the origin, the time and the history. But this report is not dynamic. Melancoly and homesickness are founders of this report. Nevertheless, seen through the nothingness, the other one is not synonym of the desp air. The work of pierre loti is a medal the face of which negative, deformatrice, is inextricable of a positive face. We are able to illustrate this truth by thinking about the projection in the text, of narcissistic structures of pierre loti. In spite of the sadness, subjective, being in front of the ire other one, we were able to notice that the other one is not the antithesis without appeal, as was werther for goe͏̈the, the other one for pierre loti is the road which leads to the serenity. This deduction justifies the therapeutic value of the journey and of the writing of journey. The other one is indispensable because the subjectivity of the other one allows the objectivity of ego

Full textPierre loti (1850-1923), the french writer, was a professional sailor and, from 1891 a member of the french academy. He was famous as a popular novel writer, a well-known traveller and a first-rank observer of the french mediterranean policy during the third french republic. From aziyade (1879) to supremes visions d'orient (1921), his work was marked by his deep liking for islam and turkey. As an exotic writer, an orientalist, a friend of politicians (from louis barthou to raymond poincare), and an heard intellectual, pierre loti was a witness and a main actor of french colonial policy and the "entente cordiale", to which he was opposed, but he favoured egyptian nationalism. During word war i and the balkan wars, pierre loti defended his turkish friends. He also supported moustaka kemal (ataturk).

Full textIn this thesis, the subject we wanted to discuss is that of the representation and transfigurations of the foreign city in French writing. We have chosen the works of Pierre Loti, Victor Segalen, Pierre-Jean Remy and Suzanne Bernard, in order to explain the subject with the help of concrete examples, that is to say by analyzing the image of the city of Beijing in different French works of the twentieth century. During this study, we take a deep look at the image of Beijing, and especially at its historical evolution, as described by the authors of the different periods that we have presented. We chose to study this evolution of Beijing's image from three dimensions. The first dimension is that of the city history, as well as that of its presence in the literary text and its influence on representation. This is a rather geocritical approach that examines the relationships between human spaces and literature. The second dimension is the Beijing signs’ dimension. We will study the texts according to an imagological perspective, focusing on how the writer transcribes reality, as well as on the representation of the object of study. Finally, the third dimension is about the evolution of novelistic forms and writing

Full textThree sailors-writers, Pierre Loti (1850-1923), Claude Farrere (1876-1957) and Victor Segalen (1878-1919) have left their mark as the main authors contemplating exoticism at the time when the expansion of the French colonial Empire was at its strongest. Through their mutual friendships and a common experience of the colonies, as well as cultural and literary influences, these three writers offer a major interest to whoever wishes to study the representation of Otherness, in particular of the exotic woman, in fictional exotic literature at the end of the 19th century between 1879 and 1923. These three authors succeed in breathing new life into the end-of-century exotic imagery in the matter of novel writing, thanks to the special attention they devote to the exotic woman. Dealt with poetically, the exotic feminine character links the colonial adventure, the lively staging of diversity, particularly with reference to women, and the exploration of new symbolic ways towards Otherness

Full textThis thesis explores the relationship between childhood and poetical feeling to consider how childhood impressions can implicitly model a modern narrative aesthetics. A corpus of narratives by Pierre Loti, Marcel Proust, Colette, Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield serves to analyse the fictional inscription of child characters and show the likeness between allegedly childish characteristics and traits related to a certain conception of the modern narrative, at the corner of the 19th and 20th centuries. Among these characteristics : the predominance of subjectivity, a poetical feeling pervading the text, and a discontinuous narrative focusing on moments of being. The analysis summons both literary and scientific representations of the child, from 18th to 20th century. It convokes the theories of the first child-psychologists along with Romantic texts figuring child poets and questions the premise, according to Baudelaire, that genius is based on « childhood recovered ». In doing so it means to shed light on the phantasmatic conceptions of the child implicitly activated by the authors of these narratives. The child’s proverbial imagination and credulity, the presumed authenticity of an age closer to origins are as many utopic projections conveyed by literature and cautioned, to a certain point, by philosophic and scientific thoughts until the first third of the 20th century. This study examines their sources and their stakes to understand what accounts for them and to investigate their resonance with certain writing dimensions, such as poetry, mysticism and impressionism

Full textThe Orient has, throughout the Middle Ages to our present day, held a unique place among french thinking. Between 1880 and 1939, perception of the orient underwent profond changes. Exotic appeal of an orient of dreams and fantaisies, as defined by romantics, evaporeted with the onset of realism. The pre-conceived notion were replaced by a quest for the "other orient". Between the end of 19th century and World War II, the "exoticism" of the arabic and near eastern world was condamned as a minar genre. Turbulents events which plaqued theses countries did not leave much room for dreams. Loti and Barrès, by the sheer beauty and power of their writting, were the only ones who could revive the theme that had fallen into oblivion. Credit should be given to minar writers who shed light upon the society in their treatment of the "other anf far giving birth to a new definition of exoticism. The oriental society perceived in its duality, was only a miror reflacting an inperished french society. The refusal to recognize the true identity of the Orient betrays its own confusion, in a world characterized by instability and the loss of ancestral values the western world was seeking for security in the Orient, but it's for ever lost there

Full textPaul Gauguin and the island of Tahiti have had such and established association that all previous artistic talents have been hidden. However, Paul Gauguin was only the last in a long line of French artists to paint the island and its neighbourly archipelagos. Four of them are studied : Jules-Louis Lejeune, Max Radiguet, Charles Giraud and Pierre Loti. The historical research bases on drawings realized by expeditions to Polynesia revolves arount three themes : the history of the myth of Tahiti and its artists, the history of the representations of Tahiti, and art as a source of the history of Tahiti. Since the mythe of Tahiti, which links the island to love and to an earthly paradise, belongs within the realm of French general knowledge, its foundations and evolution need to be understood. This is to determine ist impact on artists and their works. These works of art, convey, transpose and distort, or in a word depict a reality cast within a mould of trends of thought, philosophical concepts and scientific approaches. This iconographic group consistently interweaves individual and collective features of long and short duration. Thus, the second part of the thesis sets out to analyze and sort out some of these aspects. The last part describes the publishing development of drawings and their contribution to the history of Tahiti through three themes : the so-called "guerre franco-tahitienne", the Tahitian woman, the key feature of the myth which calls upon social history, and queen Pomare IV, in whom myth and history merge

Full textThis thesis makes the connection between literature and law (legal, critic, symbolic) in the works of Pierre Guyotat. From the banning act (Eden), the law hides an essential point : a primary act which is all at once the birth of the language and the law it would be the signifier of. The fiction in Guyotat's books is like a parodic repetition of the Freudian fiction about primitive murder, so that the whole of his fiction works can be considered as a tautological repetition of a first and primal scene. The phantasmagoria of the prostitution production seems to be the other side of the primitive murder and does affect the representation function of the language. Instead of expecting the reconciliation from the metaphor, the "new language" repeats infinitely the results of the punishment to set its positivity : that's "Babel Heureuse". The processes of confusion, far from writing the fault as unforgivable, make it possible to consider Punishment as the good luck of the language

Full textStone masonry is an age-old constructive technique, nevertheless the mechnicalbehavior of this type of construction is still misunderstood. Consequently, standardsfor masonry structural design are very conservative and overestimate design of this kind ofstructures. Moreover, engineers cannot rely on suitable design code to assess masonry buildings.This research project aims to develop a design code suitable for structural masonrydesign to help engineers.Discrete element code LMGC90 was picked for its capacity to take into account masonrydiscontinuities. A mixed mode I+II cohesive interface law is established in order to considerprogressive damage and energy dissipation associated to quasi-brittle behaviour of mortarjoints. An experimental procedure was also carried out to estimate the whole cohesive andfrictional parameters ofmortar joints.The proposed numerical model is confronted to two experimental tests on shear masonrywalls under two different boundary conditions. The results of the analysis shows that thedeveloped model fails at reproducing precisely the shear behaviour especially when the normalstress to the joint strongly increses during the test. Thus we discuss on the Mode II law,and more specifically on the separation of frictional and cohesive behaviours which must beresponsible for the deficient results
