Full text
Abstract:
Thomas Mann's novel Der Erwahlte explores the concepts of sin, contrition, and eventual redemption through the life of the sinful pope Gregorius. The concept of enormity provides the link between the seemingly esoteric subject of his novel and the history of Germany under Nazi rule. He draws a direct, if subtle, parallel between German fascism and Gregorius' sins. The hero's sin, his penance, and his redemption are all overwhelming, thus providing the connection with German national character and history as understood by Mann. By examining the deep structure of the novel's imagery and plot in conjunction with Mann's political speeches, this thesis reveals these underlying similarities, and the essentially positive message which the novel finally conveys. The use of language and the Gregorius legend to express Mann's deep-rooted belief in the fundamental unity of European culture is also examined.

Full text
Abstract:
Les configurations triadiques de personnages apparaissent comme un element constitutif de l'oeuvre narrative de thomas mann, comme une cle de lecture permettant de preciser les mecanismes de progression du recit et de cerner la pensee mannienne dans ses ressorts psychologiques les plus subtils. Denominateur commun a des thematiques aussi diverses que l'adultere, l'antagonisme art/bourgeoisie, l'homosexualite et l'inceste, les configurations triadiques de personnages revelent l'existence d'interrelations fecondes entre la realite vecue par thomas mann et sa transcription litteraire. Point de rencontre privilegie entre le vecu et la fiction mais aussi entre le conscient et l'inconscient, "sismographe" de chocs affectifs parfois traumatisants, la structure triadique reflete avec fidelite la complexite emotionnelle d'un ecrivain qui, au gre d'une ardente recherche spirituelle, s'efforca de pallier la profonde dualite de son existence. Multiples et chatoyantes, les configurations triadiques de personnages apparaissent comme le lieu par excellence d'un desir de synthese qui se solde par un echec avant d'aboutir, dans la tetralogie de joseph et ses freres, a l'esperance d'une humanite pleinement realisee, symbole de l'androgynie et de la "coincidentia oppositorum". Toutefois, la ternarite apparait, en derniere instance, comme le miroir d'une ambivalence fondamentale chez thomas mann, la resolution des contradictions etant en realite une victoire evanescente, appelee a etre sans cesse reconquise et soumise au risque d'etre sans cesse reperdue
Triadic configurations of characters turn out to be a constitutive element of thomas mann's narrative work, a key enabling the reader to clarify the ways in which the narrative proceeds and to understand thomas mann's thought in its most subtle psychological motivating forces. Common denominator to various themes such as adultery, the art/middle class antagonism, homosexuality and incest, the triadic configurations of characters reveal the existence of fecund interrelationships between reality as experienced by thomas mann and its literary transcription. Privileged place where life and fiction, but also consciousness and unconsciousness, meet, "seismograph" of sometimes traumatic affective shocks, the triadic structure faithfully reflects the emotional complexity of a writer who, as he followed an ardent spiritual quest, endeavoured to compensate for the profound duality of his existence. The numerous, sparkling triadic configurations of characters prove to be the pre-eminent place where a desire for synthesis operates. It ends in a failure before resulting, in the joseph and his brothers tetralogy, in the hope for a fully realized humanity, a symbol of androgyny and of "coincidentia oppositorum". Yet, ternarity finally appears as the reflection of a fundamental ambivalence in thomas mann, the resolution of contradictions being actually a fading victory, bound to be conquered again and again and liable to be lost again and again

Full text
Abstract:
The intention of this masters thesis is to examine how homosexuality is represented in Thomas Mann's 1913 novella Death in Venice, and to demonstrate how Mann was able to incorporate such a taboo issue in a story that Wilhelmine Germany would come to embrace.
The study consists of four chapters which examine four contexts in which the story, for the purposes of this thesis, should be interpreted. The first is historical, in which the previous reception of the novella, as well as the author's own struggle with his identity, is investigated. In the second, Mann's philosophical paradigms to represent homoeroticism, drawn largely from classical Greece and Nietzsche, are examined. Freud's views of homosexuality and sublimation furnish the basis for the third chapter, in which sublimated imagery of sexual desire in the text is considered. Finally, the narrative strategies employed by Mann that render the story palatable to his heterosexual, bourgeois reading audience are illustrated in the fourth chapter.

Abstract:
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, previously unpublished portions of Thomas Mann's diaries were released for publication. These excerpts contained passages that removed all previous doubt as to Mann's sexual proclivities, affirming his homosexual inclinations. It had been suspected that Mann was homosexual before this time, but there was no conclusive proof until the release of the now-famous (or infamous) diary entries. Now that there is written proof of Mann's sexual orientation, literary scholars can more persuasively argue the often overlooked or circumvented homosexual aspects of his writings. This thesis is an investigation of the homoerotic elements in Thomas Mann's novella, Death in Venice. The present study draws out the homoerotic elements of the text and places them in a socio-historical context. Textual analysis, as it concerns coded homosexual desire, as well as a biographical schema of Mann highlight the homoerotic characterizations in the novella. The analysis is based in an historical context, a time when homosexual expression was strictly illegal. The tension created between Mann's need to process his homosexuality and his internal moral code - as well as the external moral code of Wilhelmine Germany - forced him to contrive a story in which he could only present homosexual desire in code or via allusions to the homosexuality of Ancient Greece.

Abstract:
Notre étude se propose une vision sur la manière dont les romans de Thomas Mann et de Marcel Proust ('La montagne magique', et respectivement, 'A la recherche du temps perdu') reflètent le temps au niveau historique, autobiographique et fictionnel. Par conséquent, elle relève d'une structure tripartiten chacun des trois chapitres-noyaux traitant à la rigueur de la dimension historique, autobiographique et, respectivement fictionnelle de la temporalité des deux oeuvres littéraires. *Le temps historique: bien des ressemblances entre les romans de Thomas Mann et de Marcel Proust proviennent de leur appartenance à la même période historique. Dans cette première partie de notre étude, nous expliquons le choix thématique que firent Mann et Proust pour 'La montagne magique' et, respectivement pour 'La recherche', par le contexte historique dans lequel ces deux oeuvres sont situées. *Le temps biographique: la seconde partie de notre étude traite des affinités du roman temporel de Mann et de Proust avec le genre littéraire de l'autobiographie. Le fait que les romans temporels de Thomas Mann et de Marcel Proust présentent un fort caractère autofictionnel, qu'ils cachent une forte tendance confessionnelle et qu'ils imposent un riche contenu autobiographique peut renvoyer à la familiarité des deux auteurs avec les grands modèles de l'écriture autiographique du 19e siècle. *Le temps fictionnel: la discussion portant sur le temps biographique de la 'Recherche' et de 'La montagne magique' est liée à une argumentation introduite au début de la troisième partie de notre étude, qui débat in extenso la question du temps fictionnel. Cette argumentation concerne les coordonnées définitoires du roman temporel, situé néanmoins entre l'autobiographie, le roman social et le "roman à thèses". Cette troisième partie traite de la réflexion dans le texte littéraire des coordonnées temporelles du présent, du passé et de l'avenir et identifie les figures prédilectes de la représentation du temps dans les deux romans (la métaphore, la répétition, la personnification, le procédé de la description
The present study proposes a vision on the manner in which the temporal novels of Thomas Mann and Marcel Proust reflect tim on a historical, autobiographical and fictional level. Thus it is structured in three parts, each chapter rigorously dealing with the historical, autobiographical and fictional levels of the temporality of the two literary works respectively. First part, historical time: in the first part of the present study, we explain the thematic choice made by Mann and Proust for 'La montagne magique' and, respectively, for 'La recherche', by the historical context in which the two works are places. Second part: biographical time, the second part of the present study deals with the similitude between the temporal novels of Mann and Proust and the literary genre of the two authors, but also their way of receiving and understanding the autobiographical genre. Goethe's different perception is also their way of receiving and understanding the autobiographical genre. Goethe's different perception is also one of the main points of our thesis. Third part: fictional time, a debate on the autobiographical time in 'La recherche' and 'La montagne magique' is connected to the discussion that opens the third part of the present thesis, which deals with fictional time. This debate concerns the definition of the temporal novel, situated between the autobiography, the social novel and "le roman à theses". Our purpose is to prove that in the works of Thomas Mann and Marcel Proust we can identify similar techniques of rendering temporality. The temporal metaphor, the symbol of time, the temporal repetition and mainly the descriptions related to the modulations of subjective time are also the object of our present thesis. It is the involuntary memory that offers one of the most significant departure points for all stylistic perspectives

Abstract:
Même si son nom n'apparaît nulle part, Hermès a sa place dans le roman de Thomas Mann Joseph et ses frères. Mais seul Hermès, le dieu grec, avait été aperçu jusqu'ici. Cette étude montre qu'un autre Hermès hante la tétralogie, Hermès-Trismégiste, le père de la tradition hermétique ou alchimique. Après avoir révélé la présence de cet autre Hermès et la fonction de la métaphore hermétique dans la trame, l'analyse explore les raisons qui expliquent la fascination de l'auteur pour ce thème. Il apparaîtra que celui-ci est systématiquement convoqué dans l'imaginaire créateur de l'écrivain dès qu'il est question de formation. Car Joseph est le seul roman de formation que Mann soit parvenu à écrire, un roman qui vérifie toutes les acceptions de la désignation générique : formation du héros, formation du lecteur, formation de l'auteur à la faveur de la formation de l'œuvre. Pourquoi la métaphore hermétique, en dépit son extraordinaire qualité expressive, se fait-elle si discrète dans ce roman ?
Even if his name does not appear anywhere, Hermès has his place in the novel of Thomas Mann Joseph and his brothers. But only Hermès, the Greek god, had been seen up to now. This study shows that another Hermès haunts the tetralogy, Hermès-Trismégiste, the father of the hermetic or alchemical tradition. After having revealed the presence of this other Hermès and the function of the hermetic metaphor in the framework, the analysis explores the reasons for the fascination of the author for this theme. It would appear that this one is systematically invoked in the creative imagination of the writer whenever there is a question of education. Because Joseph is the only education novel that Mann managed to write, a novel which examines all the meanings of generic designation: education of the hero, education of the reader, education of the author to the benefit of the formation of the work. Why then is the hermetic metaphor, in spite of its extraordinarily expressive quality, so discrete in this novel?

Resumo: A presente dissertação de mestrado dedica-se a verificar como o romance de Thomas Mann A montanha mágica poderia filiar-se ao gênero literário do Bildungsroman. Sua introdução é um breve comentário sobre o estabelecimento do gênero literário do Bildungsroman enquanto tal, seguido de um excurso, igualmente breve, aos temas que ocupavam Thomas Mann aquando da redação deste seu romance, mediante a identificação de temas centrais das Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen (Considerações de um apolítico). Feito isto, parte-se ao trabalho propriamente dito de pôr A montanha mágica ao lado do romance de Goethe Anos de aprendizado de Wilhelm Meister, paradigma do gênero em causa, para investigar o proveito em lê-Io como Bildungsroman. A própria questão sobre o que seria efetivamente um Bildungsroman desperta polêmica até os dias atuais. Discutir A montanha mágica na qualidade de Bildungsromanimplica,pois - sempretacitamente-, em voltar à pergunta sobre o que teria feito dos Anos de aprendizado de Wilhelm Meister o primeiro romance de uma série que constituiu tradição dentro da literatura de língua alemã. Mas esta pergunta não é apresentada como tal no corpo do texto, pois o que se pretendeu foi cingir-se a aproximar ambos os romances e esclarecer como este expediente é eficaz para compreendê-Ios. Seja como for, espera-se que mesmo a investigação do gênero tomada em si mesma sempre possa aproveitar-se das diversas incursões que se têm feito ao longo do tempo àquelas obras a ele imputadas
Zusammenfassung: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit Thomas Manns Roman Der Zauberberg der literarischen Gattung des Bildungsromans zugeordnet werden kann. Die Einleitung der Arbeit besteht aus einem Kurzkommentar über die Entstehung der literarischen Gattung des Bildungsromans; dem folgt, indem die zentralen Themen aus Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen bestimmt werden, ein Exkurs über die Themen, die Thomas Mann zur Zeit der Niederschrift des Romans beschãftigten. Im Hauptteil der Arbeit wird Der Zauberberg dem Roman von Goethe Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre - dem Paradigma der Gattung - zur Seite gestellt, und es wird untersucht, ob Thomas Manns Buch in produktiver Weise aIs Bildungsroman gelesen werden kann. Die Frage, was eigentlich ein Bildungsroman sei, ist auch in heutiger Zeit noch umstritten. Eine Betrachtung Des Zauberbergs aIs Bildungsroman impliziert aIso immer auch - wenngleich unausgesprochen - eine Rückbetrachtung der Gründe, die Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre zum ersten Roman einer Gattung werden lieBen, die sich dann - aus heutiger Sicht - aIs Tradition in der deutschsprachigen Literatur etabliert hat. Dieser Fragestellung wird jedoch im HauptteiI der Arbeit nicht nachgegangen, da dieser sich darauf beschrãnkt, beide Romane gegenüberzustellen, um dadurch aufzuklãren, ob dieser Weg geeignet ist, sie zu verstehen. Es wird jedoch gehofft, dass eine Untersuchung der Gattung aIs solche aus den verschiedenen Annãherungen, die im Lauf der Zeit an ihr unterstellte Werke gemacht wurden, Nutzen ziehen kann

Abstract:
This master's thesis is entitled "Nietzsches Philosophie der Dekadenz in Thomas Mains Roman Der Zauberberg. Zu Rationalitat, Metaphysik and Erziehung." It focuses on Mann's treatment of Nietzsche's critiques of rationality, metaphysics and education. It is argued that the characters Settembrini and Naphta, who attempt to educate the main character, Castorp, personify Nietzsche's critiques of rationality and metaphysics, and their interweavement, as both rely on a common feature: belief. As a reaction to this confusion, the relativistic approach of Castorp increases and leads him to passivity and indifference. The failure of his education evokes Nietzsche's critique of an education which does not teach one to define one's own values and set oneself a goal. The fact that Castorp's fate evokes Nietzsche's in the novel is interpreted as Mann's critique of Nietzsche's philosophy, especially of his perspectivism.

La presente investigación gira en torno a la película “Morte a Venezia” y hace hincapié en la técnica de transposición cinematográfica aplicada por Luchino Visconti a la novela corta de Thomas Mann, “Der tod und Venedig”. Se revisa las teorías acerca de la adaptación cinematográfica en general y específicamente las reflexiones que ha suscitado la paradigmática transposición de “Morte a Venezia”. La tesis pone de relieve la centralidad de la cita del “Fedro” de Platón en dicha novella y cuestiona la interpretación de Mario Vargas Llosa sobre el intertexto platónico. De esta manera facilita la distinción entre la obra escrita y el film en temas de ética, estética y mística. Finalmente, se concluye en que una buena transposición es paradójica, pues logra que dos obras distintas sean poéticamente la misma.
The present research examines the film "Morte a Venezia" and focuses on the technique of cinematographic transposition that Luchino Visconti applied to Thomas Mann's short novel, "Der tod und Venedig". The theories about the cinematographic adaptation in general and specifically the reflections that the paradigmatic transposition of "Morte a Venezia" has provoked are reviewed. The essay highlights the centrality of the quote from Plato's "Phaedrus" in the novel and questions Mario Vargas Llosa's interpretation of the Platonic intertext. In this way, it facilitates the distinction between the written work and the film in ethics, aesthetics and mystic themes. Finally, it is concluded that a good transposition is paradoxical, since it achieves that two different works are poetically the same.

Full text
Abstract:
L'étude des écrits de guerre que R. Rolland et Th. Mann publient entre 1914 et 1918 ainsi que de leurs romans parus a la fin de la guerre a pour but de démontrer comment se forge l'identité de l'intellectuel écrivain. Est-ce par la publication de manifestes ou bien par le discours esthético-littéraire que l'intellectuel trouve un moyen d'expression authentique ? Comment pourra-t-il se démarquer des multiples voix au sein de l'opinion publique qui émanent trop souvent d'un compromis compromettant ? L'intellectuel du début du XXe siècle est donc confronté au conflit que connaissait déjà l'homme de lettres du siècle des Lumières ; puisque ce conflit entre l'engagement politique et le discours esthétique du roman appartient à l'héritage du XVIIIe siècle, le premier chapitre est consacré à l'analyse de l'idée que l'homme de lettres du siècle des Lumières se fait de son propre rôle, ce qui permet de démontrer la tradition dans laquelle s'inscrivent les écrits de R. Rolland et de Th. Mann. Le deuxième chapitre présente une analyse des écrits de guerre de R. Rolland et de Th. Mann et, plus particulièrement, une analyse des contradictions qui se manifestent à travers ces écrits. Il s'agit en effet de mettre en évidence les limites du statut de l'intellectuel ainsi que les limites de l'idée que celui-ci peut avoir de son rôle si le langage de l'intellectuel est uniquement et exclusivement celui du manifeste public. Dans le troisième chapitre enfin, il s'agit de démontrer - à l'exemple de Clérambault aussi bien que de "La montagne magique" - la richesse du discours romanesque et du langage de la fiction esthético-littéraire: au lieu "d'illustrer" tout simplement les opinions de leurs auteurs, les deux romans révèlent - même contre l'intention affichée de leurs auteurs - deux images qui focalisent les problèmes de l'individu dans sa recherche d'une identité authentique au-delà des opinions et des partis pris.

Abstract:
My D.Phil, dissertation sheds new light on German literary decadence around 1900, its universal concepts, plurality of discourses and poetic transformations. The heuristic value of my dissertation is a refined differentiation of Dekadenz which reconstructs the literary history of the concept and for the first time proposes specific poetic constellations. In chapter 1, decadence is reviewed with its rich research heritage and introduced as a decisive concept and discourse of aesthetic modernism. Although much has been written on decadence, the concept is clearly in need of scholarly reconsideration. I argue that decadence is not only a vague epochal construct and an ensemble of motifs, but also encompasses discourses, universal concepts and a versatile literary style. In view of the stylistic eclecticism around 1900, I argue that decadence is a dynamic and malleable concept which can be combined with other aesthetic styles, movements and philosophical contexts depending on the specific author. Chapter 2 contextualizes Dekadenz from its etymology and central discourses to its universal concepts. Etymologically derived from the Latin verb de-cadere decadence signifies a downward movement and a figure of fragmentation. It evokes cultural and political decline especially that of the Roman Empire (décadence romaine) and undergoes various aesthetic transformations (1857-1894). After touching upon the precursors Baudelaire (1857), Bourget (1883) and Bahr (1889-1894), I dwell on Nietzsche to demonstrate the philosophically complex German double evaluation of decadence. I derive three universal concepts from Nietzsche (health vs. sickness, endings vs. new beginnings, fragmentation vs. wholeness) which are crucial to my literary analysis. My comprehensive literary analysis centers on three specific poetic constellations of decadence between late realism and aesthetic modernism. Chapter 3 illuminates Mann's spätrealistische Dekadenz (1894-1924) with his (Nietzschean) double evaluations. Transformations of decadence are shown in his early novellas, Buddenbrooks, Der Tod in Venedig and Der Zauberberg. Chapter 4 illustrates Hofmannsthal's ästhetizistische Dekadenz (1891-1902) in his early essays, his prose fragment Age of Innocence and Das Märchen der 672. Nacht. A significant transformation of decadence is illuminated in Ein Brief (1902), where Nietzschean decadence is concentrated and tentatively overturned. In chapter 5, Rilke's modernistische Dekadenz (1898-1910) is shown from his early fragment Ewald Tragy to his only novel Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge. His novel attempts a poetic 'revaluation of all values' and culminates in the emergence of a genuinely modernist decadence.

A presente dissertação de mestrado busca estabelecer uma comparação entre os conceitos “apolíneo” e “dionisíaco” apresentados por Thomas Mann em seu romance A montanha mágica (1924) e por Nietzsche em O Nascimento da Tragédia ou Helenismo e Pessimismo (1872), de modo a verificar em que se assemelham ou diferenciam, segundo a perspectiva assumida pelos autores na concepção do individualismo. Investigaremos em que medida a noção do individual presente em Mann – constituída pela dialética razão e emoção – conjuga-se às teorias engendradas por Nietzsche em seu primeiro livro, buscando entender a construção da ironia no romance, mais particularmente aquela tocante ao narrador que, dissimuladamente, pretende conduzir o leitor quanto à caracterização da personalidade/intelectualidade do protagonista em formação. Procuraremos, então, como objetivo principal, apreender de que maneira o recurso irônico utilizado na construção do romance ícone da modernidade alemã o distingue do paradigma do gênero literário Bildungsroman, Os anos de aprendizado de Wilhelm Meister, analisando para tanto os elementos tempo e Bildung, fundamentais para a compreensão da tessitura paródica da narrativa em questão
The present dissertation seeks to establish a comparison between the Apollonian concepts and Dionysian presented by Thomas Mann in his novel The Magic Mountain (1924) and by Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy or Hellenism and Pessimism (1872), in order to verify they resemble or differ from the perspective assumed by the authors in the conception of individualism. We will investigate to what extent the notion of individual present in Mann - constituted by dialectical reason and emotion - is conjugated to theories engendered by Nietzsche in his first book, seeking to understand the construction of irony in the novel, particularly what concerns to the narrator, who covertly intends to lead the reader as to characterization of personality/intellectuality of the protagonist in formation. We seek, then, as the main goal, apprehend how the ironic resource used in the construction of the emblematic novel of German modernity distinguishes it from the paradigm of Bildungsroman literary genre, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, analyzing for this purpose, time and Bildung, fundamental elements to understanding the parodic organization of the narrative in question

Notre étude compare «Le feu » ( Il fuoco ) de Gabriele d'Annunzio, « Mort à Venise » ( Der tod in Venedig ) de Thomas Mann, « A la recherche du temps perdu », de Marcel Proust. Respectivement publiées en 1900, en 1912, de 1913 à 1927, ces trois ouvrages mettant en scène un écrivain-porte de l'auteur, venu à Venise pour renouveler sa création artistique. L'entreprise est interprétée en termes d'alchimie, la ville étant perçue comme un "creuset" offert aux manœuvres de ses hôtes, "ouvrants". Espace "chaotique", susceptible de perdre l'écrivain par les séductions "vénusiennes" qu'elle lui présente, la cite propose aussi la chance d'une "genèse" artistique - a son image. Les réussites comme les échecs des personnages nous sont restitues par l'intermédiaire de toute une stylistique proprement "vénitienne". Mais au-delà de ces particularités liées au lieu lui-même, nous pouvons déceler dans les trois romans une approche plus générale, qui pourrait valoir selon nous comme la relation quasi- "archétypale" d'un apprentissage d'écriture- de l'aventure d'une création littérature dans ses rapports complexes à l'éthique et à l'esthétique
This study compares « le feu » (Il fuco, Gabriele d'Annunzio, 1900), « Mort à Venise » ( Der tod in Venedig, Thomas Mann, 1912), a la recherche du temps perdu ( Marcel Proust, 1913-1927). The same basic paten appears in these three novels: a writer-the author's spokesman, comes to Venice, hoping for a renewal of his artistic creativity. Such process can be described in terms of alchemy and of initiation. Do this respect, Venice has a double function: it can be the metaphor for the writer's creative urges, or a threat to his work. It is alternately the image of chaos and a tutelary figure. Thus some passages of the three novels foreshadow the gestating work of art. Beyond this specifically "venetian" stylistics, it is possible to reach a universal image of the city, which could be an archetype of literary creation

Abstract:
Par une analyse précise de l'Enfant de volupté, des Faux-monnayeurs, des Cahiers et des Poésies d'Andre Walter, du Portrait de l'artiste en jeune homme, d'Ulysse, de Tonio Kröger, de la Mort à Venise et des Carnets de Malte Laurids Brigge, nous avons tente de démontrer que le roman des quêtes de l'écrivain comme personnage pouvait être considéré comme un genre à part entière. Pour ce faire, nous avons étudié les modes de représentation de l'écrivain dans la littérature européenne, de la fin du XIXème siècle à la deuxième décennie du XXème représentation qui motive l'insertion, au sein du roman, de nombreux autres genres : journaux intimes, lettres ou fragments d'essai. Nous avons ainsi pu analyser les nombreuses altérations des structures narratives afin de distinguer les notions de quête et de Bildung. La première, plus complexe encore que la seconde, peut être éclairée par certains concepts de la métapsychologie freudienne appliques au roman : liaison et déliaison, narcissisme, fantasmes d'omnipotence et, surtout, opposition entre les logiques œdipienne et préœdipienne. En raison même de la présence d'un personnage d'écrivain, les différentes réponses du lecteur sont déterminées par une dialectique entre une participation immédiate et inconsciente au texte et une volonté de démonter les rouages de ce texte. Nous sommes ainsi parvenu a la conclusion, apparemment étonnante, que cette dialectique lectorale se fonde sur les fragmentations narrative et diégétique - lesquelles sont autant le retour à une forme traditionnelle de poésie que le signe d'une modernité problématique.

O presente estudo comparado põe em diálogo as narrativas Grande sertão: veredas de Guimarães Rosa e A Morte em Veneza de Thomas Mann, a partir das simbólicas travessias dos protagonistas Riobaldo e Aschenbach. As cenas de travessia sintetizam as experiências dramáticas dos protagonistas que aprendem acerca da existência marcada pelo paradoxo e instabilidade assustadora. Considera-se, inicialmente, o modo como cada um dos escritores teceu um imaginário acerca da cultura do outro e como esses trânsitos culturais encontram-se representados em suas literaturas. Partindo das cenas de travessia, destacam-se os aspectos épico-dramáticos em ambas as narrativas e os principais leitmotive e simbologias presentes nas cenas que se desdobram nas aprendizagens existenciais dos protagonistas. O trabalho discute como os dois escritores elaboram seus discursos sob o signo da limiaridade, relacionando as experiências de Riobaldo e Aschenbach com as atuais configurações do conceito de devir propostas por Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari.

"Temps et fiction" explore, à travers La montagne magique de Thomas Mann, A la recherche du temps perdu de Marcel Proust et Les vagues de Virginia Woolf, la figuration du temps par la fiction littéraire. Le temps, d'ordinaire imperceptible, est rendu sensible par ces fables qui le prennent pour objet de leur histoire. Temps et fiction montre tout d'abord comment les figures du temps naissent de l'effacement de l'habitude chronologique. Puis la deuxième partie essaie de déchiffrer, sous la forme du pli, les marques du temps, inscrites aussi bien dans le style que dans la structure de l'œuvre. Cette recherche, qui souligne la nature temporelle du texte littéraire, débouche sur une mise en perspective de la théorie narrative dans son rapport problématique au temps. L'exploration de la fiction littéraire ouvre alors sur une réflexion qui découvre la triple dimension temporelle du texte : temps du discours, temps de la fable, temps de l'histoire.

Abstract:
L'occident (ouest, west, westen, abendland) désigne à la fois un territoire (Europe occidentale et Amérique), une civilisation, et une orientation dans l'espace. Les romans de Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka et Albert Cohen permettent d'étudier l'occident comme sphère culturelle et comme archétype de l'imagination. La Montagne magique est le récit du déchirement de l'âme allemande (Hans Castorp) entre les puissances de l'ouest (settembrini) et les tentations de l'est (naphta, clawdia chauchat) dans un sanatorium cosmopolite. Les romans de Cohen sont construits autour d'une confrontation entre un espace juif-oriental et la civilisation occidentale. Le Disparu et Le Château de kafka peuvent être lus comme des variations sur le mythe de l'occident (Amérique, hôtel occidental, château du comte Westwest) le mythe de l'occident a été étudié à partir de trois perspectives. L'occident comme rapport à l'espace (dialectique de la sédentarité et du nomadisme, thèmes de l'exil et de l'utopie); l'occident comme rapport à l'histoire (mythe du progrès ou mythe de la décadence, du "soleil couchant"; rapport de la civilisation occidentale à son passé et à ses héritages, notamment médiéval); enfin l'occident comme expérience politique du monde (conflit du national et de l'universel, d'une recherche du sens et d'une idéologie de la puissance). La distinction entre l'identité occidentale (qui se confond avec la culture européenne) et la condition occidentale (comprise comme une dynamique d'émancipation et ou d'exil) permet de dégager la spécificité du mythe de l'occident par rapport à l'idée européenne
The west (occident, abendland) refers both to a territory (western Europe and America), a civilization, and a direction in space. Through the novels by Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka and Albert Cohen, the west may be studied as a cultural area and as an archetype of the imagination. The magic mountain is the story of the split of the German soul (hans castorp) between the powers of west (settembrini) and the temptation of east (clawdia chauchat, naphta), in an international sanatorium. Novels by A. Cohen are based on a conflict between a Jewish-oriental area and the western civilization. America and The Castle, by Kafka, may be interpreted as variation on the myth of the west (America, "hotel occidental", "castle of the count Westwest"). The myth of the west has been studied through three approaches: the west as a relation to space (dialectics of sedentarity and nomadism, themes of exile and utopia. . . ); the west as a relation to history (myth of the progress, or myth of the decadence, - "the setting sun"); the west as a political experience of the world (conflict between nationality and universality, between search for sense and ideology of power). The distinction between the western identity (which corresponds to European culture) and western condition (understood as a process of emancipation and or of exile) leads to bring out the specificity of the myth of occident with regard to the European idea

Ce travail de these s'interesse a la question, avant tout litteraire, de savoir quelle ou quelles est/sont le(s) forme(s) prise(s) par une figure ancestrale, le diable du christianisme et de la culture occidentale, a une date donnee (lendemain de la premiere guerre mondiale), dans des Œuvres d'un genre litteraire determine (genre romanesque), et chez trois ecrivains majeurs et contemporains du monde europeen occidental (thomas mann, georges bernanos et c. S. Lewis). Le travail etudie dans un premier temps les rapports forts existant entre l'emergence des Œuvres, la reapparition de la figure du diable dans les romans et le contexte historique immediat. Il s'attache ensuite a mettre en lumiere les modifications substantielles a propos de la representation de la figure selon un principe de recodage des traditions heritees. Elle s'attaque enfin a la question de savoir comment les ecrivains rendent plausible l'apparition de cette figure consideree comme anachronique dans un univers romanesque moderne - ce qui conduit a des reflexions approfondies sur les esthetiques du fantastique, de la science-fiction et de la fantasy (en lien avec le realisme). La these conclut finalement sur le caractere proprement irremplaÇable de la figure du diable : on n'a pas encore trouve de second symbole aussi polysemique et polyvalent, aussi disponible et expressif, aussi riche en interpretations signifiantes et porteur de sens ; il semble donc impossible de se debarrasser definitivement de satan
This ph. D. Research deals with the question, mainly in a literary perspective, of the form(s) given to an inherited figure, the devil of christianity and western culture, at a certain moment of time (after the first world war), in literary works of a determined genre (novels) and written by three major and contemporary writers of the modern european world (thomas mann, georges bernanos and c. S. Lewis). Firstly, the research shows the existence of strong links between the writing of the novels, the re-appearance of the character of the devil in these literary worlds and the historical context (two world wars, totalitarianism, secularization). Secondly, it analysizes the substantial modifications in the character's representation, which i call the principle of re-coding (recodage) of inherited traditions. Finally it answers the question of how the writer managed to make the appareance of this obsolete character plausible in the context of the contemporary world as shown in the novels - this leads to detailed and comparative studies of the aesthetics of the "fantastique", science-fiction and fantasy. The conclusion of this ph. D. Is that the character of the devil appears irreplaceable to western thought: no other symbol is as rich and meaningful, as expressive and at the same time open to all kinds of interpretations. It seems that the european literature and culture will not manage to get easily rid of this definitely central character

Abstract:
Les intellectuels allemands emigres apres 1933 ont publie de nombreux textes commentant l'attitude des intellectuels restes en allemagne. Ces textes tentent tout d'abord d'imposer la rupture publique avec ces intellectuels comme une norme, dont ils font dependre l'appartenance a la communaute des emigres. L'evolution vers une vision plus positive se fait parallelement aux tentatives de fonder un volksfront, auquel ces intellectuels sont egalement appeles a participer. La sortie du modele textuel excluant se fait sous l'impulsion des communistes, qui dans leur strategie d'union des antifascistes pronent une reconciliation. Par ailleurs, des emigres comme herinrich mann et thomas mann, qui n'ont jamais pratique d'exclusion univoque, servent alors de modeles. La reintegration des intellectuels restes en allemagne dans la communaute des "vrais" intellectuels et des opposants au nazisme a lieu dans le cadre du debat sur "l'autre allemagne" ; ils passent alors du statut de "renegats" a celui "d'emigres de l'interieur", ce qui permet de refuter la these d'une identite entre hitler et l'allemagne. Ces textes montrent qu'il existe un discours propre a l'emigration, discours interne et fortement ideologise, et montrent les limites de la politisation des emigres non-communistes, dont le discours ne quitte pas le champ culturel. Le caractere excluant et normatif de ces textes, qui sont aussi des reglements de comptes, montre l'influence du discours nazi. Les emigres, dans leur jugement, reprennent en les inversant les categories du discours nazi ; on constate une contamination surtout formelle entre le "contre-discours" des emigres et le discours auquel ils s'opposent
The german intellectuals who emigrated after 1933 have published many texts in which they comment upon the attitude of those intellectuals who stayed in germany. In these texts, they try at first to impse the gesture of breaking off with them as a norm, as the gesture one has to make in order to belong to the community of the emigres. They turn to a more psitive vision as they try to build a volksfront, in which the intellectuals in germany are supposed to play a role too. It is under the influence of the communists , who in their strategy of unificating the antifascists plead for a reconciliation, that the emigres use less the excluding text model. Some emigres, like heinrich mann and thomas mann, who have never uttered any univocal exclusion, serve as models. The reintegration of the intellectuals who stayed in germany in the community of the "real" intellectuals and of the opponents of nazism takes place in the context of the discussion about the "other germany"; at this point they are considered no more as "renegades" but as members of the "inner emigration", which allows the emigres to refutate the thesis of an identity between hitler and germany. These texts show that the emigration has her own discurse, which is internal and strongly ideological ; they also show the limits of the politisation of the noncommunist emigres, whose discurse keeps within the cultural field. The excluding and normative character of these texts show the influence of the nazi discurse, as the emigres, on judging upon the intellectuals in germany, use the same categories as the nazis, but invert them. There seems to be a contamination, mainly in the form of the discurse. Between the "counter-discurse" of the emigres and the discurse they oppose to

Abstract:
La description musique est un phénomène localisé, mais profondément significatif dans l'invention du roman moderne. La musique n'est pas seulement objet de description ; elle constitue un modèle formel, un nœud symbolique et une limite vers laquelle tendrait la littérature. Cependant, on écrit toujours à partir d'une absence, de sorte que la musique serait aussi un prétexte à partir duquel le roman explorerait ses propres voies. Cette tension entre trace et absence, présence et illusion, constituerait donc le mouvement dialectique de toute description musicale. La thèse s'appuiera principalement sur les œuvres de Thomas Mann, Proust et Joyce, sans s'interdire de convoquer d'autres auteurs de langue et de style différents. Après avoir présenté dans l'introduction sa branche comparatiste et avoir délimité la spécificité de son sujet, la thèse s'intéresse d'abord aux problèmes de la représentation musicale : c'est la question de la référentialité et des configurations historiques. On démontre que toute musique, qu'elle soit fictive ou référentielle, devient la propriété du roman, qui l'interprète et la reformule à sa guise ; mais que, dans le même temps, la représentation fictive de la musique s'enlève sur fond d'un réseau conceptuel commun et a pour horizon la sphère de l'histoire. Dans un second temps, on étudie l'intégration et la disposition de la scène ou de la citation musicales dans l'intrigue. D'une part, elle en reçoit une signification particulière, d'autre part, elle constitue un nœud symbolique du roman ; enfin, elle induit la création d'un nouveau temps romanesque. La troisième partie s'intéresse à la transtextualité du roman, c'est-à-dire au mouvement qui l'ouvre à son dehors indicible, sous les catégories du rythme et de la figuralité, les modalités joyciennes du visible et de l'audible, les notions proustiennes de l'accent et de l'impression profonde.

La présente thèse est le résultat d'une étude sur l'interface entre Psychanalyse et Littérature. Les innovations théoriques de la psychanalyse proposées dans les derniers séminaires de Jacques Lacan, particulièrement dans le 23eme : Le Sinthome, font échos aux œuvres littéraires sur le mythe de Faust - de Johann W. Goethe, Thomas Mann et Fernando Pessoa. En soulevant des questions telles que les constructions « fictive-biographiques », la répétition et les nominations à propos de Faust, nous essayons de démontrer, à partir du processus du pacte, la transformation du concept psychanalytique de symptôme dans la catégorie du Sinthome. Ceci pourrait être compris comme un genre de savoir-faire - une nouvelle et « hérétique » façon d'articuler les registres du Réel, du Symbolique et de l'Imaginaire (RSI) - avec ce qui était à l'origine de la souffrance, en tournant le symptôme - compris comme un héritage de manque et d'interdiction - en quelque chose de propre et de singulière invention
The present thesis is the result of a study on the interface between Psychoanalysis and Literature concerning literary works pertaining to the myth of Faust, written by Johann W.

Through an investigation of questions such as the "fictional-biographical” constructions, repetition and nominations concerning Faust, we intend to demonstrate, from the process of the pact, the transformation of the psychoanalytical concept of symptom into the category of the sinthome, which may be understood as a type of savoir-faire - a new and "heretical" way of articulating the registers of the Real, the Symbolic and the Imaginary (RSI). The essence of this new vision lies in a reconceptualization of the origin of the suffering, turning the symptom, comprehended as a legacy of lack and interdiction, into something of one's own and singular invention

Temps de solitude et de patience, de silence et de lenteur : la dimension de l’attente amoureuse pourrait paraître un sentiment désuet, peut-être archaïque, donc vidé de sens à l’époque de la globalisation, de l’abolition des distances et de la vitesse des communications. Ses représentations romanesques au XXe siècle nous démontrent, au contraire, comment l’attente amoureuse peut se révéler un paradigme très intéressant pour comprendre, à travers la littérature, les contradictions de l’homme moderne. Le but de la présente étude comparatiste est de définir une sorte de « modèle » des représentations romanesques de l’attente amoureuse au XXe siècle à travers une comparaison entre trois grandes œuvres narratives du siècle passé : A la Recherche du temps perdu (1913-1927) de Marcel Proust, Joseph und seine Brüder (1933-1943) de Thomas Mann et El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985) de G. García Márquez. En se fondant sur les réflexions sur l’attente amoureuse offertes par Roland Barthes (Fragments d’un discours amoureux, 1977 et Le discours amoureux, 2007) et en ouvrant la comparaison à d’autres textes romanesques et dramatiques du siècle passé, cette recherche se propose d’étudier le rapport entre le temps impalpable et suspendu de l’attente et les problèmes de la fiction romanesques, tel qu’il se présente dans tout au long du XXe siècle
Love waiting is a time of patience and solitude, silence and slowness: it may seem like an obsolete and archaic sentiment, deprived of all meaning in the age of globalization, shortening of distance and rapidity of communications. Its representations in the 20th century novel, instead, show how the love waiting proves to be an interesting paradigm to understand the contradictions of contemporary humanity through the literature. This comparative research aims to define a sort of “model” of representations of the love waiting in the 20th century novel by the comparison between three important novels of the last century: Marcel Proust’s A la Recherche du temps perdu (1913-1927), Thomas Mann’s Joseph und seine Brüder (1933-1943) and Gabriel García Márquez’s El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985). Drowing inspiration from Roland Barthes’ ideas about love waiting (Fragments d’un discours amoureux, 1977 and Le discours amoureux, 2007) and also widening the comparison to other narrative texts and pieces of the last century, this work aims to analyse the relation between the suspended and impalpable time of waiting on one side and the complex form of novel on the other side, as it occurs over the 20th century

Le dialogue entre phénoménologues, causalistes et intentionalistes entrepris ici, a obéit à une finalité pratique : éclairer la structure de l'action humaine en élucidant les notions qui y sont impliquées : son intention, ses fins, son récit. Nous avons vu que cela n'est possible qu'à partir d'une alyse holiste. Cette conclusion nous a permis d'entrer dans le domaine des théories littéraires armés des instruments de l'anthropologue/sociologue pour poser la question de savoir comment arrêter l'aliénation permanente de la personne humaine dans ses oeuvres(?), comment sortir de la tragédie de l'Histoire (?), comme constitutive pour la cosmologie romanesque. Les analyses entreprises sur la guerre et le nazisme à partir de R. Musil et Th. Mann ont voulu orienter vers cet horizon: l'oeuvre littéraire, loin de représenter la mise en lumière d'expériences solipsistes ou "privées", constitue notre instrument intellectuel le plus pénétrant pour analyser société et histoire. Face à l'"Histoire" triomphante, avec ses vicissitudes et ses apocalypses sanglantes, le romancier peut s'ériger en seul penseur de l'humain

The analyses applied to war and nazism, beginning with R. Musil and Th; Mann, have willed an orientation into this horizon : literary work, far from representing the emergency of "private" or solipsistic experiences, constitues our most penetrating intellectual instrument for analyzing society and history.

Cette thèse traite de la transposition de la littérature en danse, sujet presque inexploré par les chercheurs jusqu’à présent. Elle porte sur des textes servant de base à une intrigue de ballet – livrets et œuvres littéraires non conçus pour la danse – et sur les ouvrages chorégraphiques qui s’en inspirent. La comparaison des sources littéraires avec les livrets et ballets qui les transposent permet d’appréhender comment les librettistes et chorégraphes ont adapté la littérature depuis la naissance du „ballet d’action“ en tant que genre artistique indépendant. Il s’agit ici d’analyser les éléments „chorégraphiques“ dans plusieurs œuvres de la littérature universelle, ainsi que les possibilités de „traduire“ celles-ci en ballets. De cette manière, la thèse contribue aux recherches sur l’„intermédialité“. Cette étude démontre notamment que le milieu du XXe siècle voit la naissance d’une nouvelle forme de „ballet d’action“, qui se distingue par sa manière innovatrice de traiter les sources littéraires et d’utiliser les moyens d’expression du ballet. Ce genre, qu’en référence au terme „Literaturoper“ (opéra littéraire) nous baptisons „Literaturballett“ (ballet littéraire), est défini et décrit ici pour la première fois. Il prolonge et développe les revendications de la réforme du ballet menée au XVIIIe siècle autour de Jean-Georges Noverre, réforme qui ouvre notre étude. Ce n’est ensuite qu’au XXe siècle que la danse s’établit en tant que langage expressif, comparable au chant à l’opéra. Les chorégraphes réussissent alors pour la première fois à représenter des sujets littéraires complexes par le seul biais de la chorégraphie (soutenus par le décor, les costumes, les lumières et la musique), dans un flux ininterrompu de l’action
This thesis deals with the transposition of literature into dance, a subject which has received very little attention from researchers up to the present day. It focuses on texts that constitute a base for a ballet plot, which includes libretti as well as works of literature not written for that purpose. The comparison of the literary sources with the libretti and ballets they have inspired serves to explore how librettists and choreographers have adapted literature since the birth of ballet as an independent art form. The case studies reveal „choreographic“ elements in several works of universal literature as well as different possibilities of „translating“ literary texts into a wordless medium. Therefore, the dissertation contributes to current research on „intermediality“.This study demonstrates that a new form of story ballet was created in the middle of the 20th century. It is characterized by the way in which it transposes the literary source and uses ballet’s means of expression. This genre is defined and described here for the first time. It is called „Literaturballett“ (literature ballet) in reference to the term „Literaturoper“ (literature opera). This new type of ballet continues and develops the 18th-century ballet reform around Jean-Georges Noverre which is discussed at the opening of this study. In the 20th century, dance finally became accepted as an expressive language, comparable for instance to singing in the opera. As a result, choreographers succeeded for the first time in representing complex literary plots in an uninterrupted flow of action exclusively through the means of choreography (supported by scenery, costumes, lighting and music)
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem bisher kaum erforschten Medienwechsel von Literatur zu Tanz. In ihrem Mittelpunkt stehen Texte, die als Grundlage für eine Balletthandlung dienen, sowohl Libretti als auch nicht für die choreographische Umsetzung verfasste literarische Werke. Der Vergleich der literarischen Quellen mit den von ihnen abgeleiteten Libretti und Balletten dient dazu herauszufinden, wie Librettisten und Choreographen seit der Entstehung des Handlungsballetts als eigenständiger Kunstform Literatur adaptiert haben. So werden zum einen „choreographische“ Elemente in einigen Werken der Weltliteratur analysiert. Zum anderen wird erforscht, welche Möglichkeiten es gibt, Literatur in das wortlose Medium Tanz umzusetzen. Damit wird ein Beitrag zur Intermedialitätsforschung geleistet. Die Dissertation zeigt unter anderem auf, dass um die Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine neue Art des Handlungsballetts entstand, die sich von ihren Vorgängern durch ihren Umgang mit literarischen Quellen und durch ihre innovative Verwendung der Ausdrucksmittel des Balletts unterschied. Dieses in Anlehnung an den Terminus „Literaturoper“ „Literaturballett“ genannte Genre wird hier erstmals umfassend definiert und beschrieben. Die Geburt des „Literaturballetts“ stellt eine Fortsetzung und Weiterentwicklung der Ballettreform des 18. Jahrhunderts um Jean-Georges Noverre dar, mit der die Arbeit beginnt. Erst im 20. Jahrhundert etabliert sich Tanz als expressive Sprache, die mit dem Gesang in der Oper vergleichbar ist. Dadurch gelingt es Choreographen erstmals, komplexe literarische Themen in einem kontinuierlichen Handlungsfluss nur mit den Mitteln der Choreographie (unterstützt durch Bühnenbild, Kostüme, Beleuchtung und Musik) darzustellen

Abstract:
A travers un choix de romans dans lesquels des schémas mythiques sont à la fois présents et dissimulés derrière une série de scènes et de motifs, l'émergence du mythe est étudiée selon 3 axes : la formation du schéma mythique dans le cadre de la "réalité" représentée dans chaque roman : ici sont pris en considération tant les procédés textuels que l'instance du lecteur, capitale pour estimer la présence d'un mythe précis, l'efficacité des grandes scènes révélatrices, la possibilité d'exploiter le jeu des allusions. Puis l'étude se concentre sur la notion d'espace et de temps, sur leur transformation radicale qui les rend réceptives et signifiantes à un degré maximal à l'égard du schéma mythique incorporé, et sur une thématique qui se traduit en techniques aboutissant à la transfiguration de l'apparence"réaliste" de l'univers représenté. Et, la démytification est envisagée comme éclatement de la structure et de l'unité mythiques par un ensemble de procédés, du jeu au commentaire, inséparables des grands thèmes véhiculés par les textes. Ces aspects sont liés à des traits de la modernité littéraire et à une reformulation irrespectueuse du "Bildungsroman"

Abstract:
A partir du repérage d’un point aveugle de la littérature générale et comparée, ce travail vise à faire de la littérature turque le site d’interrogation de la discipline et de l’intelligibilité régionale de la littérature européenne. La mondialisation du discours critique permet de situer la réception de la littérature européenne chez un romancier turc contemporain dans le cadre des échanges littéraires inégaux entre un espace littéraire ancien et très doté et la périphérie turque. Les particularités de ce champ socio-Historique dont Orhan Pamuk est tributaire permettent de comprendre sa trajectoire exceptionnelle, mais aussi son ethos de lecteur de la bibliothèque européenne, marqué par l’excentricité et l’héritage de la dépendance. Dès lors, l’étude du recours d’Orhan Pamuk au roman européen met en valeur trois usages de celui-Ci : un usage mimétique, un usage générique et un usage architextuel dont témoigne la réécriture des Buddenbrook de Thomas Mann. Le recours au roman dostoïevskien met en lumière, quant à lui, l’homologie structurale de deux anciens empires dans le rapport à l’Europe, et révèle à Orhan Pamuk l’intelligibilité des « démons » de la Turquie. Le roman pamukien se présente alors comme une négociation poétique de la dépendance et de l’excentricité de la littérature et du roman turcs. La poétique intertextuelle très appuyée, dans un geste de réécriture du canon (Proust, Dante, Dostoïevski) permet la captation de l’héritage littéraire européen ; la poétique de la taklit, centrée sur les jeux fictionnels et les feintises ludiques, permet enfin de transmuer le complexe de dépendance mimétique dans une nouvelle catharsis romanesque de laquelle émerge la « fiction » de l’auteur pamukien
Having identified a blind spot in general and comparative literature, this work proposes to introduce Turkish literature as a questioning site within the field which also interrogates the regional comprehensibility of European literature. The globalization of literary criticism allows us to locate the reception of European literature within the work of a contemporary Turkish novelist in the wider context of an unbalanced literary exchange between on the one hand an ancient and rich literary space and the Turkish periphery on the other. The particularities of this social and historical field to which Orhan Pamuk is affiliated account for his trajectory in world literature, while also shedding light on his ethos as a reader of the European library, itself characterized by eccentricity and an inherited dependency. It follows that studying Orhan Pamuk’s use to the European novel brings to light a mimetic, a generic and an architextual use, as shown by his rewriting of Mann’s Buddenbrooks. As for his use of the Dostoevskian novel, it highlights the structural homology of the two former Empires in relation to Europe, and lays bare to Orhan Pamuk Turkey’s “demons” in all their legibility. The Pamukian novel presents itself as a poetical negotiation with the dependency and eccentricity of Turkish literature and the Turkish novel. Rewriting the canon (Proust, Dante, Dostoevsky) with glowing intertextual poetics, Pamuk captures the European literary inheritance ; these taklit poetics, replete with fictional games and playful sham facilitate the conversion of this net of mimetic dependency into a new novelistic catharsis from which the “fiction” of the Pamukien author emerges

Abstract:
This thesis is divided into two main parts. The first, comprising the three initial chapters, looks, in chapter one, at the specifically German origins of the Bildungsroman, its distinctive features, and the difficulties surrounding its transplantation into the literary contexts of other countries. Particular attention is paid to the ethical dimension of the genre, i.e. to the relation between the individual self and the exterior world, and how it affects individual formation. The focus then shifts to American literature, and the term 'narrative of initiation' is recommended as a credible alternative to 'Bildungsroman'. Allowing for similarities between them, it is none the less strongly suggested that the Bildungsroman of German origin and the American narrative of initiation should be seen as being intrinsically different, principally because of the different cultural backgrounds that shaped them. Several features of the theme of initiation are postulated as decisive factors in the discrepancies between the initiatory narrative and the Bildungsroman. Analysis of six texts - three of each literary tradition - follows, to provide support for the theoretical discussion of the terms introduced in chapter one. Three Bildungsromane are considered in the second chapter, namely Goethe's Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre, Stifter's Der Nachsommer and Keller's Der grune Heinrich, and three narratives of initiation in chapter three: Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Crane's The Red Badge of Courage and Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio. Their relevance to the tradition of German and American fiction as a whole and as precursors of Mann's Der Zauberberg and Hemingway's The Nick Adams Stories is considered. A direct comparison between Mann's and Hemingway's texts constitutes the second part of this thesis, wholly contained in chapter four. In addition to a comprehensive critical reading of both narratives, the contemporaneity of Der Zauberberg and The Nick Adams Stories is taken into account, and consequently special consideration is given to the texts' close relation with the cultural and historical realities of the early twentieth century, particularly the impact of the First World War. With the assistance of Jung's theories, an increased awareness of death and of the dark side of the psyche - though dealt with differently in both texts - is put forward as a significant factor in the deviation of Der Zauberberg and The Nick Adams Stories from the traditions of the Bildungsroman and of the narrative of initiation. This departure leads to a re-appraisal of the relation between the protagonists and their society, and to a new ethical attitude that presupposes different, more modem conceptions of what Bildung and initiation represent in the context of the early twentieth century. How and why they changed and if they survived as literary notions are questions this thesis attempts to answer.

Abstract:
A eclosão da I Grande Guerra foi a causa principal para que um grupo relevante de figuras destacadas do panorama artístico e científico de origem germânica desse a conhecer as respectivas reacções que os mais recentes acontecimentos políticos lhes mereciam. Entre eles contavam-se escritores, filósofos, músicos, cientistas com ou sem filiação partidária. O objectivo deste trabalho é, precisamente, o de analisar o pensamento “político” de um desses nomes, um dos mais promissores e reconhecidos da sua geração e que, por isso mesmo, merece um tratamento mais atento e aprofundado: o do escritor alemão Thomas Mann. A confissão de que a política não era na verdade um tema merecedor da atenção do escritor, ou mesmo do povo alemão, é-nos dada pelo próprio e pode ser comprovada pela leitura, não só dos textos que constituem o corpus deste trabalho como também por vários outros da sua autoria. O desenrolar dos acontecimentos surgidos do conflito mundial, em que a Alemanha ocupava um papel de grande destaque, foi determinante para uma evolução ideológica progressiva (ainda que, por vezes, contraditória) na reflexão que o escritor foi registando, ao longo do tempo, sob a forma de ensaio político. Da defesa do conservadorismo, característico da monarquia representada pelo Kaiser Guilherme II, ao apoio, a partir de 1922, ao novo regime republicano, que culminará com as eleições de 1933 com a nomeação de Hitler para chanceler da Alemanha, a análise política do escritor não deixará nunca de estar sujeita às críticas surgidas quer dentro quer fora do espaço geográfico alemão.
The outbreak of World War I was the main cause for a relevant group of leading figures in the artistic and scientific scene of Germanic origin to know the respective reactions that the most recent political events deserved. Among them were writers, philosophers, musicians, scientists with or without partisan affiliation. The purpose of this work is precisely to analyze the "political" thinking of one of these names, one of the most promising and recognized of his generation, whom, for this reason, deserves a more thorough and profound treatment: that of the German writer Thomas Mann. The confession that politics was not really a subject worthy of the attention to the writer, or even to the German people, is given to us by itself and can be proved by reading not only the texts that constitute the corpus of this work but also by several others of its own. The development of the events of the world conflict, in which Germany played a major role, was decisive for a progressive (and sometimes contradictory) ideological evolution in the reflection that, over time, the writer was recording under the form of political essays. From the defense of the conservatism, characteristic of the monarchy headed by Kaiser Wilhelm II, to support, from 1922, the new republican regime that would culminate, with the 1933 elections, with the appointment of Hitler as chancellor of Germany, the political analysis of the writer will always be under the criticisms arisen either inside or outside the German geographical world.

Tese de mestrado, Teoria da Literatura, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Letras, 1999
Esta tese tem como objectivo identificar e caracterizar uma técnica de composição narrativa cuja estrutura e funcionamento se baseiam numa técnica compositiva musical, o Leitmotiv wagneriano. Os autores e as obras escolhidas são Richard Wagner (1813-1883) e a Tetralogia Der Ring des Nibelungen (1848-1874) e Thomas Mann (1875-1955) e o seu primeiro romance Buddenbrooks (1901). Esta investigação contextualiza o wagnerismo na recepção literária das obras teóricas e musicais de Wagner em França no período finissecular. O pensamento sobre música de Arthur Schopenhauer enquadra a análise de alguns textos fundamentais de Friedrich Nietzsche para permitir uma melhor compreensão da recepção da obra do compositor por Thomas Mann. A técnica do Leitmotiv em Der Ring des Nibelungen é investigada ao nível da caracterização das personagens e dos efeitos sobre a estruturação temporal da Tetralogia. Analisa-se ainda a melodia infinita e a voz da orquestra para clarificar a influência wagneriana na técnica narrativa de Thomas Mann em Buddenbrooks. O estudo do Leitmotiv em Buddenbrooks incide na caracterização física e psicológica das personagens e na presentificação da acção. São ainda estudadas outras estratégias narrativas, como a leitmotivisches Wort e a auto-citação. A ligação entre Buddenbrooks e Der Ring des Nibelungen é estabelecida através do comentário a estes processos compositivos.
The aim of this dissertation is to identify and to describe a narrative technique based on a musical technique, the wagnerian Leitmotiv.the authors and the works investigated are Richard Wagner (1813-1883) and the Tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen (1848-1874) and Thomas Mann (1875-1955) and his first novel Buddenbrooks (1901). Wagnerism is contextualized in the literary reception of Wagner’s music and theories in the late nineteen-century French literary movements. Arthur Schopenhauer’s ideas on music are discussed, as well as some of the fundamental critical texts on Wagner and Wagnerism by Friedrich Nietzsche so as to achieve a clear understanding of Wagner’s reception by Thomas Mann. The Leitmotiv technique in Der Ring des Nibelungen is studied in its relation to the definition of the characters and the effects on the time structure of the Tetralogy. The infinite melody and the orchestra’s voice are also studied to enable a deeper perception of the influence of Wagner on the narrative techniques used by Thomas Mann in Buddenbrooks. The study of the Leitmotiv in Buddenbrooks is focused on the physical and psychological definition of the characters and on the Vergegenwärtigung effect. Two other narrative strategies, the leitmotivisches Wort and self-citation are taken into account. The relationship between Der Ring des Nibelungen and Buddenbrooks is developed along the discussion of those narrative techniques.

Abstract:
As Written presents an investigation of selected literary configurations of musical ineffability in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By putting literary parables into constellation with media technologies and texts from philosophy, critical theory, aesthetics, and media theory, the dissertation seeks to better understand the ways in which literature engages, discloses, disrupts, and determines musical discourse at times of aesthetic, political, and technological shift. The dissertation begins by establishing the “cryptographic” ineffable that emerges in early German Romanticism through readings of Novalis. These readings suggest this formulation of ineffability to arise out of an instrumentalization of instrumental music that emphasizes the symbolic relations of musical notation over music’s sound—this in service of a literary and philosophical project that strives to transcend its own medial and epistemological limits. Subsequent chapters will analyze alternative configurations of ineffability in writings by Richard Wagner, Theodor Adorno, Thomas Mann, and Helmut Lachenmann, but vestiges of this “originary” Romantic configuration will remain. Indeed, while the literary texts analyzed in these later chapters will respond to the medial, technical, and technological developments of their historical contexts, more than merely disclosing discursive formulations of musical ineffability, they, like Novalis’ Heinrich von Ofterdingen, will be shown to enact these formulations in forms of linguistic, sonic, and material absence through their complex narratologies and poetologies. How, this dissertation will ask, might literature’s ability to accommodate changing contexts in these configurations ultimately suggest musical ineffability as a conduit through which a music-discursive tradition that emerges in literature around 1800 is able to preserve itself into the twentieth century?

Da beleza transgressora: Perseguições da identidade em Lolita e A Morte em Veneza é uma dissertação que parte da análise de um tema comum ao romance de Vladimir Nabokov e à novela de Thomas Mann a beleza transgressora -, na sua relação com o problema da identidade dos protagonistas, Humbert Humbert e Aschenbach, personagens que apresentam traços comuns e que, para além de serem intelectuais europeus, sofrem um processo de transformação irreversível por via de um amor transgressor e das suas respectivas consequências éticas e estéticas. Na relação entre a problemática da identidade e o tema da beleza transgressora, Lolita e Tadzio, os jovens adolescentes em torno dos quais se articulam respectivamente as confissões de Humbert Humbert e as especulações sobre o poder fatal de Eros em Gustav Aschenbach, são ainda analisados como agentes da mediação artística, que conduzirão ambas as narrativas ao seu desfecho. O corpus desta dissertação é composto não só pelo romance e a novela, mas também pelas respectivas adaptações cinematográficas: o filme Lolita, de Stanley Kubrick, e o filme Morte em Veneza, de Luchino Visconti. Tendo em conta não apenas uma opção pessoal mas também o facto de esta dissertação se inserir no âmbito do Mestrado em Estudos Anglísticos, sendo mais precisamente uma especialização em Literatura Norte-Americana, será dada maior incidência ao romance de Nabokov, compensando-se esta opção por uma análise mais pormenorizada do filme de Visconti.
About transgressive beauty: Chasing identity in Lolita and Death in Venice is a dissertation grounded in the analysis of a theme shared by Vladimir Nabokov's novel and Thomas Mann's novella transgressive beauty and its connection to the problem of the main characters' identity, Humbert Humbert and Aschenbach, both of whom display similar traits, apart from being European intellectuals whose identity goes through an irreversible transformation process because of transgressive love and its ethical and aesthetic consequences. By associating the problem of identity with the theme of transgressive beauty, Lolita and Tadzio, the young adolescents around whom Humbert Humbert utters his confessions and Gustav Aschenbach speculates about the fatal powers of Eros, are found to be and are examined as such agents of artistic mediation, responsible for guiding both narratives to their outcomes. The corpus of this dissertation includes not only the novel and the novella, but also their big-screen adaptations, namely Stanley Kubrick's Lolita and Death in Venice by Luchino Visconti. Apart from personal choices, the fact that this thesis was produced within a Masters in English Studies and, more precisely, a specialization in North-American Literature led us to bestow more attention to Nabokov's novel, an option we will make up for thanks to a more detailed scrutiny of Visconti's movie.
