Bury, Mariane. "Écriture et vision du monde dans l'oeuvre de Guy de Maupassant." Paris 4, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA040030.
Full textThe criticism is not interested in Maupassant’s legibility; she is born of aesthetic project, which links writing and view about the world. The search of distinction between "conte" and "nouvelle" had too long stopped the Maupassant’s criticism. In fact, the short story defies all systematization and arises from Maupassant’s pessimism. This philosophy of art leads to "illusionist realisms", which is studied here in theoretical texts as in practice of sensual and visual writing. The senses play a key role in the relations between narrative and suggestion. Maupassant creates an impression of reality starting from his own view without cultural superimposition. Nothing is less objective than this so named naturalist work. Finally, this conception of realistic writing implies the elaboration of a "rhétorique du réel". Which bases the text's efficiency on analogical system: the rhetoric of transparency. The metaphors and comparisons are used to create the effect of reality; but the analogy acts in two parallel fields: the realistic and the artistic

Full textThe first part of the thesis draws some main outlines of Maupassant’s theoretical thought as a writer: we know that it is the incoming of a literary inheritage (from Flaubert and Tourgueniev); his thought attaches a great importance to the replication of the real-life situation of speaking. Maupassant throws out the term of realistic, he prefers being called illusionist. The second part lists some means of making illusion: the shifters, the self-effacement of the narrator beyond the dramatis personnae who are promoted to talk (direct speeches, discours indirect libre, and a few reported speeches); by using some forms of repetition (phonetical, metrical or lexical), he obtains a seductive effect in the reader. The third part studies how questions work - the characters feel alone and distraught and the narrator shares their distress and ignorance. The thesis lastly shows that in addition to the use of "normal" proper names, there are much distortion that allows other mays of meaning Maupassant’s short stories

Full textThis thesis concerns - what we call- « the oracular register » of Maupassant's fantastic short stories. Our research aims to test the hypothesis that the tone of some stories of this author may offer strong similarities in rhetorical and stylistic fields with real oracular enunciation. Our first part deals with the communicational, phenomenological and stylistic study of the latter. From inspired and artificial divinations, we deduce a model for oracular consultation and we analyze oracular devices observed in dream's stories. This analysis highlights impressive convergences between real and fictional transposed inspired enunciation (speech power of narrator haunted by surnatural strengths, gnomical utterances, polyphony, link to collective doxa. . . ) and partially explains Maupassant's texts1 prophetism which also results from biographical (raise of Maupassant's madness at the end of his life) and cultural items (industrial revolution, Third Republic's instability, naturalism). However, it is mainly related to oracular poetic, strongly presents in his work, which involves metalinguistic dimension of language and which is based on original use of stylistic (polysyndeton, asyndeton and parataxis), narrative (particular structuration of short stories, original layout of motives) and intertextual processes (adaptation of Spencer and Schopenhauer's philosophical ideas to fiction)

Full textMaupassant's six novels mark various stages in this trajectory. The primal novel Une vie establishes the problematics of the maternal dominion. In Bel-Ami can be seen the formation of the matrix of identity, which coincides with the emergence of the son-subject. The two central novels, Mont-Oriol and Pierre et Jean, illustrate the traumatic experience of paternity and filiation; the latter novel shows the relinquishment of narcissistic defense mechanism. Subsequently, in Fort comme la mort, the repressed narcissistic wound can be analysed. With the final novel, Notre coeur, the son-subject achieves the father position, thus escaping the madness associated with the double-bind of the ambivalent mother.
Previous criticism devoted to the works of Guy de Maupassant has focussed on the thematic obsession of paternity and filiation. This thesis sets out to demonstrate that this obsession is also the very principle driving the engenderment of the novel.

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to describe how maupassant tales a moral approach to this end. The thesis focuses on the narrative specific procedures to the tale as well as to the choice of the topics. Thus, the first part deals with the enonciative mechanisms and to characters considered as narrators. This part is divided into narrative presentation used by maupassant; the second one deals with the motivations that the author confers to his narrator; the third one considers the charaterization of the teller while the fourth tries to describe the story-teller art. The second part is a thematic review of the tales based on the recurrent themes in maupassant works. Finally, the third part consists of the study of orientation and description

Full textThe 1880’s constitute a determining moment of critical consciousness in the history of literature. This period is marked by the emergence of the psycho-analytical novel (Bourget, Maupassant), to compete with naturalist literature and as a result of a crisis in styles. A new language (Goncourt, Poictevin) breaks with the classic values where clarity and conciseness continue to remain important (Zola and Maupassant). In parallel, experimental psychology (Taine, Ribot, Charcot) and philosophical discourse (Bergson, Schopenhauer) change representations of consciousness. Nerves, hysteria, the unconscious, psychological illness, the renaissance of images and myriad impressions become the new focus of these psychological sciences. The self, from this moment independent and unsettling, both fascinates and influences writers. The renaissance of psychology (before Freud) and the explosive growth of a style in its infancy (before Bally) allow us to understand the epistemological context at the end of the century. This thesis links the scientific, psychological and critical discourse of the 1880s with a corpus of six novels, and develops a study of style in the second part : André Cornélis, Paul Bourget ; Les lauriers sont coupés, Édouard Dujardin ; Fort comme la mort, Guy de Maupassant ; Une page d’amour and La Joie de vivre, Émile Zola, and Chérie, Edmond de Goncourt. The new psychology leads to new models of the self that the novel translates into its own language : It is this set of stylistic changes that this thesis will analyse

Full textGuy de Maupassant gave way to the temptation of theater, as all his contemporaries (Flaubert, Goncourt, Zola) did, but his plays are still underrated. Yet, dramatic writing constantly enriched his novelistic creation. The theatricality he uses in his writing confers to its prose its originality. Such a staging in his writing has much to do with the renewal of theater : the realism he imposes on his narratives echoes André Antoine's comments as exposed in his Théâtre-Libre in 1887. Maupassant's theatrical writing put its stamp on his fiction. Indeed, the aesthetics of his novels bears the mark of artifice and pretence, staging the rule of conventions and masks. Breaking the distinction between genres, Maupassant's creation seems to have found its right way between the Stendhalian novelistic mirror and the delusive illusion of the footlights

Full textDealing with all Maupassant's novels and combining the structural approach with the narratologic, thematic and philosophical ones, this work presents itself as an analysis of the different kinds of novelistic temporality wich are often neglected for space's and description's studies. According to these complementary approaches, it would appear that the notion of the inevitable is really important in Maupassant's experience of time, and more generally in a world's view marked with tragical pessimism. The memory as well as the anticipation or the enjoyment of the present are thus bearing the mark of destruction and fear, so much so that these three basic " categories " of experience are completly disrupted, all the characters having more or less to cope with the confusion of times. A way still to emphasize their distress in a History from wich they seem completly cut off and wich they can only passively bear. In front of this generalised failure, Maupassant's writing remains remarkably lucid and throuh this very transparency, remains able to implant in the memory the vertigo of what is definitively lost

Full textThe publication of Maupassant's short stories in La Bibliothèque de La Pléiade twenty years ago had the effect of shedding a new light on works influenced by the publication made by the author himself. The choice of this new publication as the reference for our study led us to examine all the short stories even though many of them had been ignored in the past, for reasons linked to the history of criticism. We will compare La Pleiade with several stages of the criticism, from the study by André Vial to different studies made in the nFineties. Even though there were original studies in the past, the biographical criticism has definitively marked the short stories by Maupassant. So, it tries to join life and works, especially when the critics want to establish a logical chronology from the Normand stories to "Le Horla". So, we will study the relationship between Maupassant and these stories and, we will start with discussing the theory of pessimism which has become more and more important in the recent past
Zhang, Yinde. "L'espace dans une vie de maupassant." Paris 3, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA030035.
Full textThis semiotico-narratological study originates from the quest for the complex mechanism which conditions maupassant's first novel, and is focussed on the problems of space. Considered not as an accessory element but as one which is manifestly omnipresent and integrated into the global system of the work, space in the novel is looked at on tow levels : the enunciated and the enunciation. Closely linked to others composents of the narrative and loaded with both probablizing and symbolic value, space provides a field of study which, at the least, gives access to certain secrets concerning the fictional creation of une vie, if it does not allow a fulles reading of the work. The first task assigned to space is to create an illusion of reality, which manifests itself as identifiability and probabylity. But while maintaining a relationship with the external referent, space above all fulfils textual functions, converged firstly by the role it plays in the narrative structure, then by its union with the representation of characters, and finally by the fact that its implementation gives the narration a specificity. As the novel has a dual weight, both narrative and ideological, the structures of space in the novel, reexamined on the level of their symbolic values and related to some of the writer's shoter fiction, reveal the author's fundamentally pessimistic vision of the natural and social world

Full textL'écrivain français Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) est généralement associé aux Ecoles réalistes et naturalistes. Nous croyons, cependant, devant son ouverture à toutes les formes du faire poétique, que son roman Bel-Ami (1885) présente des caractéristiques qui permettent de l’approcher de l'esthétique impressionniste. Cette relation peut être considérée par certains aspects chers aux impressionnistes comme le regard et le point de vue subjectif. De ce point de vue, l'idée de mouvement devient importante, em gardant à l’esprit que les choses changent et se transforment avec le temps et, par conséquent, la façon de les regarder. Comme ce sont des points de vue subjectifs, ce que nous voyons, c’est le résultat de sensations et d'impressions qui se révèlent insuffisantes pour exprimer la complexité de l'objet, en effet, insaisissable. Dans la construction de cet objet, sa relation avec les choses qui l'entourent doivent également être prise en considération, parce qu’elle manifeste encore plus sa complexité. Les couleurs correspondent aussi à une autre caractérististique impressionniste pertinente. Nous croyons donc qu'il est possible d'observer le monde dans Bel-Ami à partir de ces questions, malgré la nécessité d’une distance qui permette de le reconstruire
O escritor francês Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) é comumente associado às Escolas realista e naturalista. Acreditamos, todavia, diante de sua abertura para todas as formas de fazer poético, que seu romance Bel-Ami (1885) apresenta características que permitem uma aproximação com a estética impressionista. Tal relação pode ser pensada a partir de alguns aspectos caros aos impressionistas, como o olhar e o ponto de vista subjetivo, os quais são projetados em um momento e de um determinado lugar. Nessa perspectiva, a ideia do movimento torna-se relevante, tendo em vista que as coisas mudam, transformam-se com o tempo e, por conseguinte, o modo de olhá-las. Como se trata de pontos de vista subjetivos, o que vemos é a apresentação de sensações e impressões, as quais monstram-se insuficientes para expressar o todo complexo que é o objeto, aliás, inapreensível. Na construção desse objeto, sua relação com as coisas que o circundam também deve ser levada em consideração, pois evidencia ainda mais sua complexidade. As cores, igualmente, correspondem a outra característica impressionista relevante. Acreditamos, pois, que é possível observar o mundo em Bel-Ami, a partir dessas questões, embora seja necessário o distanciamente para que se possa reconstruí-lo
Monqid, Nada. "Le thème de l'eau dans l'oeuvre de Guy de Maupassant." Nantes, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006NANT3039.
Full textWater is one of the most existing themes in the work of Guy Maupassant. It reveals an artist painter who knew how to translate aquatic pictures by a brilliant writing and with a lot of skill and tact. He made aquatic activities of his time, a faithful portrait of a rare photographic realism. He immortalized the amusements of the banks of the Seine notably through the boating and the dance halls that bloomed then. His journeys on water supervise numerous aquatic landscapes: in France, Italy and North Africa. His wanderings on his boat “Le Bel-Ami” were the opportunity of discovery and resourcefulness. The opportunity to let himself go, with the currents and winds, to his impressions which dominate the sensations leading to a visual pleasure. But Maupassant is not reflected only in the pleasures of boating and the accounts of journeys, his waters are also black and deep. His fatal and aquatic female immerses its accounts generating dramas and provoking anxiety. The water of Maupassant conceals the fear of time which passes, betrays the obsessive fear of madness and of death. The waters of Maupassant answer the ambivalence which nourishes in-depth this author who himself binds the extremes

Full textThe works of maupassant are a sort of subtle game based on the combination possibilities in the relations between the two components of the text, that is, space and the character. Through the study of these possible combinations and of their incopration in the text, we seek to examine to what point maupassant "was clearness, simplicity, measure and force", with his "calm way of saying all" that is expressed in the text "by his sense of discretion, economy and, finally, of litote" and with his art of achieving a "stroke of excellent romantic pret-a-porter". This study is divided into two parts, these being "the three semantic effects of space and the character" and "the ethology of space". To accomplish such a contemplation of the subject, the first task an hand is to define in what the structure of space conditions the structure of the narrative and in what way the relations between space and its inhabitants are developed in said narrative to produce a "sensory effect". The second task consists in highlighting how maupassant's personnel occupies, dominates and territorializes his space for the centralisation of his moi, as well as studying the thematic roles of the character - traveller and prisoner in and enclosure - and space - dilating space and anaesthetising space. Such a task shall also include the study of the spatial figures destined to designate the character in his relations with his surroundings
Dreher, Martine. "La représentation de l'enfant dans l'oeuvre de Guy de Maupassant." Strasbourg, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011STRA1073.
Full textThe aim of our thesis is to show that Maupassant uses his child character to denounce the disfunctioning and the abuse of the nine teenth century society. Thanks to the child, the writer is able to distinctly see what's happening in the mind and the heart of grown-ups. The author of Une vie lingers more on the illegitimate child than on the legitimate one. The bastard is a personn of his own who has special physical and moral features. He's the living proof of the opposition between nature and social order. Maupassant who's a sensitive and affectionate person is definitely on the weak and the oppressed people's side. Even if he's keen on Schopenhauer's philosophy, he still keeps faith in human nature. The child enables us to get to know Maupassant better

Full textThis essay sets out to analyse the business environment in the works of maupassant. In order to preserve cohesion in this field of research, the examination is limited to the major business affairs which represent the dawn of modern capitalism. As bel-ami et mont-oriol provide a fairly complete insight into the spheres of activity and the spheres of influence, these two novels are studied in detail. On each occasion parallels are established with the other novels, the stories and the chronicles. However, analogies between maupassant and other writers such as balzac, zola or stendhal are brought to light. The first part examines the scene of professional milieux concerned: journalism, politics, high finance. The second part investigates particularly the big bsuinessmen, their qualities, motivations and moral standards the social relationships most useful to business people are also taken into account. As for the last section, it studies themodernity and the myth of business world, with the conclusion outlining maupassant's ambiguous attitude: his fascination for, and the fear of, the worship of money

The first part analyses the translations of various books of guy de maupassant in different periods, from 1917 to 1985. His novel "deux amis" translated by hu shi in 1917 may be considered as the first introduced in china and li qing ya as the best chinese translator of maupassant whose role, personnality, number and quality of translations have been overhauled. The second part introduced the chinese appreciations and critics of maupassant's novels. A special emphasis has been put on contes et nouvelles choisis de maupassant which includes 63 novels translated and issued in two volumes with several reeditions. " la parure " and " mon oncle jules " are the most wellknown and appreciated. The third and last part aims at understanding the influence of de maupassant on the chinese litterature. A special attention has been put on the comparison between " une vendetta " and " boule de suif " on one side and the chinese plays " l'orphelin de la maison tchao " and " sai jin hua " on the other side. The last one specially draws clearly its inspiration from " boule de suif "

So, we study through 15 short stories published sevral times, the developping technical and narrative proceedings of the author. Before studing the effect of maupassant on taymur, we thought that the 4th chapter should be devoted to the study of the art and works of maupassant. All his short stories are chronologically indexed. The 5th chapter is concerned with the narrative art of maupassant and taymur. The structural analogy between the two writer's short stories are underlined. Statistics and percentages are carried out to give an idia about the studied 600 short stories. The 6th chapter show the convergence and divergence

Full textThe aim of « friendship in the work of Guy de Maupassant » consists in discovering, studying and analyzing the occurrences of this thematic in the writer's corpus in order to allow a renewed reading of this work which is sometimes too set in some restrictive and clear-cut visions such as the pessimism which characterizes it too often while it offers multiple faces, in particular more favorable and human ones. To that purpose, it is important on one hand to point up the behavior in friendship of the writer as well as that of its circle of acquaintances towards him and on the other hand to address also this relational and emotional notion on the philosophic and literary domains to determine effectively the various aspects, while observing the links and the connections with these concepts and visions of the friendship which can constantly appear in the different texts (novels, tales, short stories, chronicles, essays, poems, dramatic plays but also the correspondence) of the writer. The study strictly speaking of the corpus not only confirms the presence of this unapproached theme so far, but reveals furthermore a singular handling of friendship from Maupassant among the themes which are his ones in his work. This handling underlines an exceptional, rare and privileged place granted to friendship which seems protected and set apart in the Maupassant's idea of the human exchanges. The presence of friendship and the way of exploiting it through the various genres of the corpus allows then to take a new gaze at the work of Maupassant, a gaze clearly more human and filled of sympathies

Full textIn the 19th century, the prostitute is everywhere. She has invaded the fiction of Daudet, Flaubert, Goncourt, Huysmans and Zola. In the complete work of Maupassant - tales, short stories, novels, plays, poems, chronicles and travels' narratives -, whores are the most represented feminine characters. Maupassant has approached the topic of prostitution, realist subject, the whore being a literary phenomenon. Maupassant's prostitutes, agents of a reversed world where values are upside down, have great virtues - good mothers, pious and patriotic women -, whereas bourgeois copy them and give way to illicit prostitution, conjugal or in family. The representation of the prostitutes fringing world serves especially as a foil to ridicule commoners. Prostitution is no longer limited to the dregs of society but reaches all the social spheres. I have drawn the main outlines of the maupassantian imaginary in order to make appear Maupassant's relation to woman - was he really a misogynist ? - and the deep meaning of the prostitute's character in the writer's phantasmatic world, leaning on the psychoanalytical criticism - Freud was a reader of Maupassant's work. The whores are strange and enigmatic creatures, sorts of living mirrors of the man and therefore dangerous and death carriers. Two types of prostitutes dominate the maupassantian writings : the blond rustic Venus, girl of water, engraved in the landscape, and the dark oriental woman, woman-animal and descendant of lilith. Ambivalent and ambiguous character, the whore is the image of the decadent anguishes and the phantasms of his creator

Full textWhat is most striking in Maupassant's narratives is precisely his rejection of the fantastic almost as soon as it occurs. Contrary to the more traditional literature of the fantastic, his narratives remain anchored in a realistic world, rendering the reader's experience even more unsettling. In a sense, Maupassant manages to tame the fantastic by normalizing it.
We intend, therefore, to position our work at the meeting point of these two concepts---realism and fantasy---in order to determine if the definition of "fantastic realism" we will be striving for can be verified through our analysis of the following stories: "Apparition", "La chevelure", "Le Horla" (first version), "La main", "La peur", "Magnetisme" and "Sur 1'eau".

Full textThis these deals with various elements brought into play in the elaboration of maupassant's text and draws on the ideological context of the time, literary history and psychoanalytic criticism. The first section is devoted to the mother-child relationship, and brings out to radically opposed discourse levels, one apparent, the other in the subtext, where fantasies are expressed. The second section deals with the distractive drives of which the child is the object (murder, elimination by various methods, directly or by substitution). With this theme, maupassant rediscovers the myths where the child as the figure of the other represents a threat and he reinserts this type of situation into any contemporary reality as well as into subjects of the fantastic. The third section studies the inverse situation whereby the masculine subject (in the psychoanalytic sense of the term) attempts to take the place of the mother so as to exercise her powers. In this configuration figures such as the priest and the artist, take an original dimension. Under the guise of naturalism, maupassant's work in fact is similar to a whole range of myths

A expressão da loucura é recorrente nas obras de Guy de Maupassant, assim como inscreveu-se na própria vida do autor; sendo ainda a tônica da representação feminina em seus textos. Tomando os contos Le signe (1886) e La femme de Paul (1881), interessa-nos investigar sua recriação operada por Jean-Luc Godard no curta Une femme coquette (1955) e no longa Masculin Féminin (1966), quando este ressignifica as expressões de marginalidade do feminino presentes em Maupassant. Partindo do propósito de Foucault acerca de uma possível estruturação cultural e social da experiência da loucura, a nossa prospecção transpassará as estruturas orgânicas dos diferentes sistemas de signos aqui envolvidos - da literatura, do cinema e notadamente o da música. Assim, verificaremos suas implicações na lógica da alteridade feminina delineada e seus desdobramentos no entendimento de vozes audíveis e silenciadas. Reduzida sistematicamente a silêncios ao longo dos séculos, perguntamos qual timbre teria a voz da loucura se pudéssemos escutar seus ressoos?
The expression of madness is recurrent in Guy de Maupassant's works and it also had a role on the author's own life; this madness even came to be the basis of the female representation inside Maupassant's texts. Concerning the tales Le Signe ( 1886) e La Femme de Paul ( 1881), it is interesting to explore this representation conveyed by Jean-Luc Godard in the short film Une Femme Coquette (1955) and in the movie Masculin Féminin (1966), where Godard reaffirms the expressions of the feminine's marginality present in Maupassant. Taking into consideration Foucault's proposal concerning a possible cultural and social organization of madness, our prospection will pass among the organic structures of different systems of signs here involved - of literature, cinema and specially music. Thus, we will verify its logical implications on the delineated feminine's alterity and its unfolding on the understanding of audible and silenciated voices. Being systematically reduced to silences throughout the centuries, we ask which tone would the voice of madness have if we could listen to its echoes.
L’expression de la folie est récurrente dans les oeuvres de Guy de Maupassant, ainsi comme son inscription dans la propre vie de l’auteur ; en plus, elle est la tonique de la représentation féminine dans ses textes. En prennant les contes Le Signe (1886) et La femme de Paul (1881), ce qui nous intéresse est d’explorer leur récreation opérée par Jean-Luc Godard dans le court-métrage Une femme coquette (1955) et dans le long-métrage Masculin Féminin (1966), quand le cinéaste resignifie les expressions de marginalité du féminin présentes chez Maupassant. En ayant comme point de départ le questionnement de Foucault à propos d’une possible structuration culturelle et sociale de l’expérience de la folie, notre prospection passera à travers des structures organiques des différents systèmes de signes traités ici – de la littérature, du cinèma et notamment de la musique. Ainsi, nous vérifierons leurs implications dans la logique de l’altérité féminine et ses conséquences dans la comprehénsion des voix audibles et diminuées au silence. Réduite systématiquement au silence au cours des siècles, nous demandons quel serait le timbre de la voix de la folie si nous pouvions écouter ses retentissants ?

Full textThis study lays down the problematic of the subject in Maupassant’s work. As far as narration is concerned, it is considered as a sign that structures the story. The writers transposes the historical and sociological background of the 19th century. The subject is a concrete support that initiates the process of reminiscence as well as the problematic of the ‘‘dual shift in time’’ through a subject that has a temporal value. Maupassant works on a complex representation of the subject that has a sensory nature and not an intellectual one, and which is both impressionistic and illusionist. The aesthetic of the subject leads us to study women objects by transforming them completely in luxury objects

Full textA research in psychoanalysis allows us to perform work on a hero or a heroine of literature and/or the novelist who brought them into being. In this regard we will choose the clinical case of Guy de Maupassant that we will analyze (study) through the tested counter-transferences of his various biographers. We will also study Maupassant’s most detailed tales which convey the author’s thought much more than his novels display. This latest choice makes it necessary to insert the author’s fantasy between his true personality and his work, which, once it has been deciphered (decoded) enables us to bridge the gap between what is latent and what is obvious. It also gives us the opportunity to complete biographers’ tales thanks to the commentary of the author’s writing. The two factors composed of biographies and the study of tales both free from fantasy will draw our inspiration from Freudian case-studies considering that Freud used to say they had to be read like tales

Full textMy dissertation proposes to analyze the crisis of male identity at the end of the nineteenth-century in France through a close study of Guy de Maupassant's bachelors, and show a link between libertinage, solitude and folly. I try to show how this crisis, this "mâlitude", is expressed and molded through contact (or lack of) with women. I argue that the bachelor who does not want and/or cannot become a "man", in the nineteenth-century sense of the term i.e. a husband and a father, is condemned to see in women a source of fascination and terror, leaving him unable to form any human connection. Faced with his lonely self and the vacuum of his life, he remains an eternal adolescent torn between his fantasies and his anguish. The bachelor evolves from cultivated loneliness to stifling isolation. After fleeing women and their castrating force, he tries to imagine an ideal woman who would fill the void in his life, but these ghosts will feed (on) his madness and will lead him to an asylum or death itself, after he realized that evil did not lay in the heart of women after all, but was lurking in his own core

Estudos demonstram que parte significativa da literatura infanto-juvenil comercializada no Brasil é constituída de adaptações de clássicos da literatura universal. Atualmente dezenas de editoras veiculam coleções de adaptações para a audiência infanto-juvenil, uma das mais expressivas é a Scipione, no segmento da série Reencontro. A editora garante que uma das diretrizes principais do projeto editorial da série é manter a qualidade literária dos textos de partida nas adaptações. O objetivo deste trabalho foi examinar a coerência dessa diretriz na tradução e adaptação de Boule de Suif de Guy de Maupassant realizada por Paulo Mendes Campos, ou seja, examinar até que ponto a obra corresponde às expectativas de qualidade literária contidas no projeto de tradução e adaptação da série Reencontro. Em busca da resposta, realizou-se um estudo comparativo entre o texto de partida Boule de Suif e sua adaptação Bola de Sebo. Estudo que teve como aporte construtos teóricos da tradução literária relacionados à abordagem crítica e à recepção da tradução, considerando autores como Even-Zohar, Gideon Toury e André Lefevere. Foram considerados, ainda, os trabalhos do teórico da tradução Antoine Berman e do teórico da literatura Mikhail Bakhtin. O primeiro oferece uma metodologia de análise comparativa, o segundo, o modelo conceitual com sua abordagem semiótica. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
Research has shown that a relevant part of the infant-juvenile literature sold in Brazil is made up of adapted classics of the universal literature. Nowadays, dozens of publishing houses issue collections of adapted texts for the infant-juvenile readers, one of the most expressive is the Scipione collection, in the segment of the ‘Reencontro’ editions. The publishing houses guarantee that one of the main guidelines of the editorial publishing project series is to maintain the literary quality of the source texts in the adaptations. The focus of this research was to examine the coherence of this guideline in the translation and adaptation of Boule de Suif of Guy de Maupassant carried out by Paulo Mendes Campos, in other words, to examine until what extent the translation corresponds to the literary quality expectations described in the project of the translation and adaptation of the issue Reencontro. In order to answer the research question, a comparative research was carried out between the source text Boule de Suif and the adapted text Bola de Sebo. The studies carried out was based on theoretical constructs of literary translation related to a critical approach and to the literary reception, considering authors such as Even-Zohar, Gideon Toury and André Lefevere.The works from the translation theoretician Antoine Berman and from the literary theoretician Mikhail Bakhtin are also taken into consideration. The first offers a methodology of comparative analysis, the second a conceptual model with its semiotics approach.
Tissier, Jean. "La Chronique de Maupassant : éléments de psycholecture." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040114.
Full textThe “chronique” in Maupassant’s work archetypically represents its problematicgenre, its accursed share.The author didn’t collect these columns during his lifetime, as he had done with histales and short stories which he exhumed from the pages of dailies such as LeGaulois and Gil Blas to have them published in book form. It would thus appear thatthe “chronique” is stamped with the bad conscience of a writer which, overwhelmedby a Flaubertian superego, registers within the text as symptom.Therefore, the “chronique” whose undeniable hasty redaction resulted from theconstraints and dictates of journalism fostered the subconscious’s coming to the foreof the text by displaying its scriptural materials.Alive with its own energy, the “chronique” by Maupassant, beyond opening upnarratological interactive prospects between reader and writer, sketches the author’spsyche as beset by fantasies, phobias, obsessions and fears.The Maupassantian column may lead to a specific hermeneutics in the light of theFreudian psychoanalysis

Full textThe main objective of this work, which is subdivided into three parts, is to provide some explanations and clarifications about the spread of avaricious and/or covetous people in Maupassant work. The first two parts are dedicated to the socio-critical analysis of these novels of Maupassant which addresses two distinct aspects: whether the story is taking place in the rural or urban area. The analysis showed that there is a hidden part behind the miserliness and cupidity of the characters; it is the existence of some social tensions that appeared after each social disruption caused by the successive revolutions that the society faced. In fact, the economic success of the bourgeoisie enabled it to become a model and reference class for many other classes (aristocrats, employees, country people…) and lead it to oppose the supremacy of nobility which was putting huge efforts to preserve its hegemony. Ideological conflicts are behind the tendency to abusively retain or criminally accumulate money. But each of these two classes has something to envy to the other. The bourgeoisie envies the aristocrat birth of nobility. The latter, which are penniless and ruined, lust after the fortune and wealth of the other. In the third and last part, the objective is to attribute a psychoanalytic dimension to these tendencies of miserliness and cupidity in order to discover what the unconscious motives behind the social transformations are

Full textThe many made up editions of Maupassant's tales tend to disregard the fact that he is the author of fifteen volumes of short stories. Our aim is to reconcile the reader with the collection which has been neglected to date. The question of the poetics of the collection must then be posed. This thesis starts by considering the correspondance. The dates of publications give lie to the idea of tales bundled together or of volumes composed in line with publication int the press. Three nearly simultaneous volumes each have specific aspects. Other books are analysed starting from revision of already collected stories ans subsequent additions of texts. The collections are envisaged int hte light of their "intratextuality" : echoes and antitheses ; texts whose argumentative background is confirmed or deconstruted in a surprise move ; decoy texts. Examination of the collection shows that as soon as a dominant theme comes to light inside a volume, it is muddled by disparate elements
Dubreuil, Laurent. "Lectures de la possession : Maupassant, Artaud, Blanchot." Bordeaux 3, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001BOR30056.
Full textRésumé :The author explores the notion of possession in French literature from the end of the nineteenth century until the aftermath of the second World War, in the works of Guy de Maupassant, Antonin Artaud and Maurice Blanchot. A companion to philosophical upheavals, heir to religious discourses, and itself at odds with the conclusions of clinical diagnosis, "hantise" takes up a new role in the poetic making of writing and reading. Reading possession in the chosen body of texts involves checking one's own process of critical reading-provided empathy with any work induces one to try to map out its conception, even if and especially when the paths of rationality are abandoned

Full textThis research focuses on "Writing the World-Weariness" in the nineteenth century, through the study of Chateaubriand‟s “René”, Constant‟s “Adolphe”, Maupassant‟s “Strong as Death”, those texts belonging to Romanticism and to Realism. Starting with the psychoanalytic notion of “World-Weariness”, our research first explores the historical, political and social contexts of these three works, and the stylistic and “genre” differences, and literary streams to which the three authors belong. References are also given to other nineteenth century writers, mostly Flaubert and Baudelaire. Our study then develops the commonalities that unite the three texts through the presentation and the expression of “Disenchantment”, the same anguish and the same “neurosis”. Depersonalization and inhibition affect the three heroes, as well as the macabre sense of repression and melancholy that led them to ultimate tragic sense of death. Then we develop a philosophical approach showing that the three works express the same sense of “Schopenhaurian” boredom and the same “Stoic” sense of lovesick. Finally we show how these three literary expressions of “World-Weariness” can be compared with “Racinian” plays, and their tragic outcome for love and glory. Our thesis reveals latent similarities with inclearly different literary works in their way to express a both historical and metaphysical “World-Weariness”

Full textOur work consists in the analysis of two literary texts ("le parapluie" by guy de maupassant and "un beau parapluie" by hung-kil yun) using tools provided by semiotics. It lead us to compare the narrative and semantic procedures which mutually reveal one another in both our texts. We intended to compare both texts, from a socio-cultural point of view, starting with the figurative items present in both texts in order to enhance a certain number of differences and similitudes in the french and corean cultures. The analysis work accounted for two particularities of the narrative organisation of both our texts : maupassant's short-story shows a specific form of narrative organisation which begins with a manipulation and finishes by another kind of manipulation. The specificity of yun's short-story consists in the fact that the position of the manipulating subject is made of the double structure of a manipulating subject associated to a manipulated subject, which we call self-driven manipulation. The thymic curb proved to be an efficient means of enhancing the thymic development of a text. As for the semantic articulations, the two main figuratives items in both our texts (the umbrella and the gift are linked to the same unique thematic category, i. E. "glory" vs "humiliation". We realized it was impossible to deepen the comparison between the french and the corean culture through tohe sole analysis of the figurative data of the two short-stories. As a matter of fact, it is obvious that a comparative analysis of two cultures requires a wide paradigmatic and syntagmatic research on each culture (in all socio-cultural fields) : this was not our purpose ; the primary signification rendered thanks to the semiotic approach is only meant to show in which direction we are to look for the secondary signification

Full textEncouraged and developped by the growth of emerging bourgeoisie of the XIXth century, the English and French realist novel opens to numerous questions concerning the relationship of this realist novel to bourgeois ideology. At times accused of supporting bourgeois ideas confronted with the classes they thought dangerous, at times considered to be a segregationist genre of the novel form which does not exist outside that fictional field which is literature, the realist novel is the cause of much spilt ink on this question everywhere in the world. Being rich in signs and penetration power, the realist novel, with its aesthetic, its themes, its theses, has finally become famous in many literary spheres in Europa and beyong the European world. Acclaimed shortly after its reception in the Arabic world, this realist novel quickly found supporters throughout a generation of Arab novelists. In Egypt its success was immediate and was linked to the political and social context of the period. Taha Hussein, at times called doyen of Arabic literature, at times the secret agent of Western culture, was one of the figures of that generation who was familiar with the Western realist novel, in particular the French. .
