Bouhouch, Souad. "L'esthétique du tragique chez Madame de Staël." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LORR0155.
Full textThis study is devoted to the tragic in love staëliennes fictions. The noble heroes engaged in a futile struggle against fate, knowing they will die. Their ambivalence prevents any living individual fulfillment in a society that lives a huge social failure, moral and political. Precarious lived happiness is followed by silence, the absence and the feeling of a deadly guilt in a space and a time initially tragic. The tragic subject undermines his moral and intellectual qualities. Lucid, powerless before the tragic knowledge, disillusioned about love and life, this being accomplished his tragic role: sacrifice and disappear. His renunciation gives a moving and sublime effect. Staël denounces the tragic through the crimes of the Revolution, the tyranny of Napoleon. Human suffering can be improved. The tragic staëlien gives an aesthetic lesson: the truth is in moral freedom and beauty of the soul

Full textStarting from the crisis that strikes the classical aesthetics during the 18th century and leads to a breaking off of the barriers within arts and literary genres, I have studied the presence and intersection of different elements in Madame de Staël's novels. In fact there is a discourse on arts, in this author, that informs the composition, the stucture and even the signification of her works. Then I have found out a particular aesthetics of the expression through suggestion that informs a writing of the gesture and the pantomime in a significant system including auditory, visual and kinetic elements taken from a renewed theatrical aesthetics as from the aesthetic codes of sculpture and especially painting. It is finally so that Madame de Staël inscribes the moral signification of her novels in the image and that she represents the life of the individual as a world made of significant forms, in a Romantic mind already
Tsolakis, Anastasios. "Stendhal et Madame de Stae͏̈l : une inimitié élective." Paris 3, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA030045.
Full textDivergence and convergence inform Stendhal's relation to Mme de Stae͏̈l. Affinity and opposition, conflict maps its contours and complicity proclaims it. Hegelian in essence, it is ground for antinomian tensions and confrontation: Napoleon, and contemporary politics in the emergent nation-states of Europe; artistic creation and the role of the artist, the future of literature and letters, society and the individual: a great multiplicity of themes for thought and reflection, both discordant and harmonic. In time, however, enmity will become the definitive quality of this ambiguous relationship. For, if Mme de Stae͏̈l often motivates stendhalien discourse, she is the eternal mark of his vilipending commentary. Mercilessly repudiated, she is the spurned genetrix of Beyle's thought. Despised image, she fascinates. She remains without recourse in the face of his harsh condemnations of her stylistic and ethical "weaknesses", and yet his debt to her is irrefutable. Furtive similarities reveal buried truths. Gratitude and mistrust, appropriation and secession here walk hand in hand. .

Full textThe Enquiry concerning Political Justice (1793) of William Godwin (1756-1836) is a very detailed and philosophical study. He fonds the theory of human society and government constitutions, on reason, on morality and on their inalienable principles. The author presents bold revelations which depend, in his opinion, on « Truth ». Mme de Staël (1766-1817) is one of the principal French authors of the imperial time. She was the only one in her time who had a public and clearly defined position. Not only concerning the subject of Family but also all acreial fields : social, political, literary and artistic. The French Revolution moved all the authors contemporaneous with the event. Godwin and Mme de Staël, who were particularly sensitive to the question of human principales, of religion, of morals, of freedom, of literature and of politics. The Revolution is the origin of the big reversal in their lives and in their respective dreams of an ideal or utopian society. Each deals with sociopolitical problems of the revolutionary period and offers multiple solutions consely concerned with society of their time as well as that of today and tomorrow. We compare in our work Godwin's and Mme de Staël's theories, their possible connections, their differences and their spiritual and common source : Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The two writers criticize the wrong application of freedom, of equality, the wrong distribution of rights and the incorrect application of duties. They present, by a critical or fictional style, the woman's situation, in that time, through many models and various female examples. They insistes and demonstrate the necessity and value of education, of conscience and of tolerance in political life, and into the religious, social and civil lives, in order to get the ideal government and ideal society which every citizen dreams of. They particularly underline the link which exists between lies and war, on the one hand, and how conscience, reason and truth are linked to peace, on the other hand. They insist on the fact that violence, murder and war are the fruits of love of self, egotism, lies, hate and fanaticism. Godwin and Mme de Staël outline in their works the ideal or utopian society which is the fruit of their interior suffering. The foundations of their respective utopias are largely based on the study and in-depth analysis of bitter realities. Bouth authors set out the problematics which denounce some errors of the past, and try to suggest solutions for the generation of their time and of the future. As added by Godwin : « It might be said, that an erroneous government can never afford an adequate solution for the existence of moral evil, since government was itself the production of human intelligence, and therefore, if ill, must have been indebted for its ill qualities to some wrong which had previous existence ». It's generally an unjust government which calls on the strength or energy of society itself, thereby paralyzing it's mobility. By this, instead of pushing society to move forward, it forces it to look backward, to seek perfection in the past. But, this is only possible by boking freely toward the future. Thus, a people can obtain its salvation from the moment it gains its total liberty and absolute equality

Resumo: A obra De l'Allemagne, de Mme de Stael, editada em 1810, divulgou pela primeira vez e colocou ao alcance de um amplo público, na França e demais povos latinos do século XIX, a literatura, a filosofia e as idéias que circulavam nos círculos intelectuais mais restritos da Alemanha. Este livro, que provocará uma revolução nos espíritos e influenciará de modo notável as gerações seguintes, expõe os principais temas que deverão despontar no Romantismo. Esta dissertação contém uma apresentação da obra e a tradução de um certo número de capítulos ou excertos de capítulos previamente comentados, cujo objetivo seria o de evocar o p.ercurso intelectual da autora. Na realidade, a tese faz a apresentação das primeiras obras de MIne de Stael, de sua herança suíça e francesa, de sua crítica e distanciamento do espírito das Luzes, de seus grandes romances e ele suas relações como poder político, de modo a melhor compreender as questões envolvidas em De l'Allemagne e seu contexto histórico. A tradução de passagens essenciais de De I 'Allemagne tem por base a seleção dos excertos da edição trances a da Larousse, permitindo aos leitores brasileiros um contato mais "direto" com as idéias de Mme de Stael, e uma reflexão sobre as questões de nosso próprio movimento romântico

Full textThe Aesthetics of Madame de Staël and Mary Shelley discusses the art of improvisation and the concept of enthusiasm in the writings of these two authors. In this project, I explore Madame de Staël’s aesthetics of improvisation and enthusiasm as represented in Corinne by drawing from her other novel Delphine, her play Sapho, and her short stories as well as her philosophical texts such as De l’Allemagne, De l’influence des passions, and De la littérature. I argue that Madame de Staël embraces through Corinne an anti-utilitarian aesthetic. I maintain that she represents a cosmopolitanism that values indigenous culture as opposed to Napoleon’s Imperialism. Furthermore, I examine how Corinne’s improvisations derive from an enthusiasm that can be associated to Plato’s elucidation of the term in Phaedrus and in Ion. This is evident by Madame de Staël’s own definition of enthusiasm as presented in the closing chapters of her De l’Allemagne. I interpret Corinne’s illness that is manifested in the loss of her genius as having psychosomatic origins and as being a slow suicide that is an expression of anger against patriarchy. The character of Corinne allows Madame de Staël to explore the conflict that women artists faced between having an artistic career and adhering to the domestic ideology. Chapter two focuses on the interest that Shelley takes in the art of improvisation as is manifested in her letters about the improvisator Tommaso Sgricci. Despite her fascination with extempore poetry, she regrets that this art form is evanescent. Moreover, I examine her enthusiastic response to another artist, Nicolò Paganini. Her fascination with this virtuoso violinist is linked to discourses about the unnatural talent of improvisatores. I argue there is a continuum of improvisation from the ballad form of the common people to the high-cultured improvisatore. I hold that the Shelleys were collaborating in defining the theory of inspiration through their interest in the art of improvisation. Chapter three considers the link between cosmology and aesthetics of inspiration through the function of music, especially Joseph Haydn’s The Creation, in Shelley’s The Last Man. I examine the representation of the sublimity of the Alps in the narrative through discourses that associate the Alps with the primordial forces of creation. The roles of Necessity, Prophecy, and Time can be understood in the novel by taking into account the notion of the music of the spheres. Chapter four explores the different meanings of the word enthusiasm in Shelley’s writings, primarily in Valperga and The Last Man. I discuss Shelley’s views on Madame de Staël as presented in Lives. I analyze Corinne-inspired characters in Shelley’s texts. In addition, I consider the meaning of enthusiasm in Shelley’s writings in relation to the English Civil War and the French Revolution. I present how enthusiasm was linked in the seventeenth-century to medical discourses about melancholia and how this is reflected in Shelley’s characters.
