This dissertation investigates the presence of the song of the sirens by Homer in "Meu tio o Iauaretê ", by Guimarães Rosa, using as theoretical reference the studies of Blanchot (2005), Oliveira (2008),), Agamben (2014) and Nogueira (2014), among others. In the wake of the interpretation of Blanchot, which traces an analogy between the song of the sirens and the literature making, every writer repeats the deed of Homeric’s character, since the narrative is an unpredictable and infinite searching movement, which makes present the navigation from the actual song to the imaginary song. We question whether there is a resumption of the song of the sirens in the studied narrative, with the goal of specifying how it happens and what its significance is, assuming that the jaguanhenhém song erupts from the threshold experience of metamorphosis between human and inhuman voice/song; portuguese, tupi and animal noise; articulated and unarticulated language. After analysis, we have come to the conclusion that this narrative stages the act of narrating itself, using a language between human-inhuman, in the process of enchantment, seduction and perdition of the triad author-narrator-reader
Esta dissertação investiga a presença do canto das sereias homéricas em “Meu Tio o Iauaretê”, de Guimarães Rosa, tendo como referencial teórico os estudos de Blanchot (2005), Oliveira (2008),), Agamben (2014) e Nogueira (2014), dentre outros. Na esteira da interpretação blanchotiana, que traça uma analogia entre o canto das sereias e o fazer literário, todo escritor repetiria o feito da personagem homérica, uma vez que a narrativa é um movimento imprevisível e infinito de busca, que presentifica a navegação do canto real ao canto imaginário. Questionamos se há uma retomada do canto das sereias na narrativa estudada, com o objetivo de elencar como isto se dá e qual o seu significado, partindo da hipótese de que o canto jaguanhenhém irrompe da experiência liminar de metamorfose entre voz/canto humano e inumano; português, tupi e ruído animal; língua articulada e não articulada. A conclusão a que chegamos, após a análise, é a de que, nesta narrativa roseana, encena-se o gesto do próprio ato de narrar, em uma linguagem entre humano-inumano, no processo de encantamento, sedução e perdição da tríade autor-narrador-leitor

Full textThis work builds a transcendental dantology based on a leibnizian paradigm of a perennial philosophy. Dante's name and work get on gradually in the life of spirit and French culture, after the astonishment of the Revolution, with the birth, the apogee, the decline and the transformed sequels of Romanticism. One love submitted to the rule of divisibility in direction of some fragments of the Divine Comedy turns into a first dantology. Archetypal figures coming from heterogeneous domains provide a conceptual and poetical framework at this double-crossed spiral: the reading of Dante's texts enlightened by present-day criticism; and the understanding of the divergent morphologies of the various moments of Romanticism. Dante appears as a thinker of history, political stakes, Christianism even in his internal and external limits, initiatory fact, sexual difference in which A POET BECOMES TRANSHUMAN THANKS TO BEATRICE'S LOVE AND VIRGIL'S GUIDING. Chateaubriand, Balzac, Nerval and Hugo are the paragons of a reading going to a free use, inaccurate but highly creative. Fauriel, Ozanam and Aroux represent the quest of a reasoned criticism of the philosophical and theological dantean doctrine. Dante and his work got included in the heart of thousands occasions of unrest of a nineteenth century that reconfigure France and Europe. The persistence of the hope of a traveller attempting to see once more the stars and contemplate the Trinity influence the reminiscences of progressivism in many aspects. The brazen figure of an acrimonious and revengeful poet goes with disenchanted minds. The one that becomes a companion of the other gods after struggling with an ennobling and killing Lady inspire the mystics and those who look for a new spirituality. The faith apologist, once he has got back into the bosom of the Church thanks to the conversion of his love, warms up the Catholics. The man who divides into two the powers as the suns of Rome turns to a favoured speaker after the Empire. We don't look for an exhaustive, thematical, notional, chronological or nominal list. But, through examples as paradigms, it's shown how that union between knowledge and creative use builds, in less than a century, some figures of Dante that echo with the concerns and hopes, expectations and anguishes, of Romanticism. In this way Dante and his "Sacred Poem" aren't reductive to citations occasions. They become a myth at the heart of the relation between religious mystic and initiation thanks to the Eternal-Feminine, commitment in history and cult of Beauty, craving for a world-wide regenerative burst and being aware of the tragic scission between Ideal and Real, myth of the Tomb and promise of spiritual elevation. Among the various possibilities, WE DEFEND A DANTE DEVOTED TO THE INITIATORY CULT OF THE SEPULCHRE AND THE "LADIES WHO GOT THE INTELLECT OF LOVE." He belongs to a broadened, dilated Catholicism - the transcendental Catholicism by Maistre, that takes on his Arcanum esotericism based on the polysemy of the texts and the freedom granted by Dante to the commentary. The author of the Divine Comedy takes place in a more and more gloomy, antimodernist, Romanticism; BOTH THE ANAMNESIS POWER OF AN ABOLISHED GREATNESS AND THE PROPHET FOR WORLD IN GERMINATION that picks his themes up again: questions of laicity, popular language in front of the gods 'one, aspiration at the Ideal and at the link between visible and invisible, metaphysical power of the Lady. Our Dante is the one who has to take care of "the other path", the catabasis before the anabases; and who has to show up the highest devotion toward the shadows. Then, this Dante and this Romanticism don't journey to the "deep randomly": here they find, in particular thanks to the power of Speech, the promise of the Spirit
Grivel, Ian. "Psyché, le mythe et l’idéal : ou les métamorphoses d'une figure antique dans les littératures de langue anglaise." Thesis, Perpignan, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PERP0039.
Full textHow did an antique character such as Psyche, with a Mediterranean background, find a place within English-language literatures? English-writing authors have in fact multiplied the ways in which they have approached and ceaselessly reinvented the myth, generally around the notion of ideal. Indeed, throughout the centuries, the myth gradually brought about an idealistic tradition whereby this goddess became a figure both idealised and which was made to fit into various ideals.But conversely, Psyche also had this perfect image tarnished. Many writers decided to part with this idealistic tradition, looking for ways in which to distort the story. This rewriting is often based on a physical and moral decomposition of the character. This degradation thus releases her from her previous idealised and constraining forms, and enables her to enter new literary and modern fields, with anti-idealised versions of both her adventures and her marriage to Cupid
Telesinski, Anne-Marie. "Pétrarque, le poète des métamorphoses." Thesis, Paris 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA030151.
Full textReading Petrarch's poetry from the angle of metamorphosis is in itself an original approach, all the more since metamorphosis takes there many different forms : a narrative explicit component, implicit transformation by metaphor, allusion to ovidian myths, external and internal mutatio of the characters of the lyric and autobiographical fabula, transformation of the texts and the author's poetics with the passing of time, which has itself a metamorphosing action. This thesis approaches Petrarch's poetics geting off the beaten paths, by studying first the medieval tradition of allegorical commentaries, particularly those concerning three ovidian myths, Daphne, Medusa, Narcissus, which are fundamental in the Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta, with the purpose to determine then common features and divergences with the poems of the book. These three main myths, completed by secondary fables, are also studied by means of a new method, that is according to the chronology of writing and its implications with the progressive construction of the canzoniere. The metamorphic theme, of ovidian origin, is in this way confronted to the problematic of the augustinian mutatio animi. Lastly, the double presence of metamorphic myths and of metamorphosis as rewriting, autobiographical or metapoetical, is extended to the Triumphs and to latin poetry (Epystole, Africa, Bucolicum Carmen), never analysed from that viewpoint

Full textThe present work, entitled "Calypso's figures and veils: writing in Homer's silence", studies the literary myth of Calypso. Its first part, "The Impossible Meeting of the Other", analyzes the impossibility of the coexistence between Calypso and Ulysses, as it unfolds in Homer's Odyssey. Calypso is simultaneously the figure of the other and the strange, the similar and the familiar. The hospitality issue of the proposal of immortality and eternal youth invites us to reflect on the link between desire and metamorphosis. Indeed, Calypso's desire to transform the other is doomed to impossibility. This is what we unfold in the second part, "The desire for the other and its metamorphoses" which is interested in other interpretations of the Homeric myth of Calypso, in the light of philosophy, allegory and literature. We continue the development of Calypso's literary posterity in the third part entitled “Multiple Calypso and Ambiguous Otherness”, by studying Les aventures de Télémaque by Louis Aragon, Le Télémaque travesti, a youth novel by Marivaux, as well as Neuf nuits en compagnie de Calypso by the Tunisian writer Tahar Guiga, a text that keeps this female character, long marginalized, in the spotlight. Thus, at the end of this work, impossibility turns into possibility
Deleville, Prunelle. "Métamophose des "Métamorphoses " : édition critique et étude littéraire des manuscrits Z de l’Ovide moralisé." Thesis, Lyon, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LYSE2027.
Full textThe Ovide moralisé is the first French translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. After each narration, the unknown author of the text offers a moralisation by giving allegories based on the four meanings of the Scripture. This text has been brought to us by almost twenty manuscripts, composed between the beginning of the 14th century and the end of the 15th century. A group among these manuscripts remarkably stands out: the group called Z in the stemma. It contains the followings codices: Berne, Burgerbibliothek, 10 (Z1) written after 1456; Paris, BnF, français 874 (Z2) produced in 1456; Paris, BnF, français 870 (Z3) composed around 1400 for the text and 1450 for the drawings; Paris, BnF, français 19121 (Z4) probably copied between 1390 and 1410. These four manuscripts present a real rewriting of the so called ‘original’ text. The new writer sometimes changes the narration of the fable, adds historical explanations and expresses a new conception of the Metamorphoses. The four manuscripts include all these changings, but Z3 and Z4 do not contain the religious and spiritual allegories, while these allegories have been reintroduced in Z1 and Z2.Our critical edition is based on Z3. It offers a linguistic, dialectical and metric study, an observation upon sources of the text, a glossary and an index. Our codicological work also helps to figure out who can read these manuscripts—with or without Christians allegories—and to understand the various shades of the intellectual and cultural life in the 15th century.Our literary commentary reveals the originality of this rewriting, in the esthetical, ethical and ontological ways. The rewriter rebuilds the text in order to expel the marks of spirituality. He insists on contemporarily appealing themes, proclaims his own opinion about love and women and tries to replace the ‘original’ author. Thus, his rewriting conveys the interests of a certain readership while it examines the kind of truth—concrete or spiritual—that can be accorded to the pagan narration of the Metamorphoses. Consequently, our work tries to sharpen our knowledge of the literary interests of the 15th readerships

This study aims to examine and investigate the relationship between the environmental impacts and the metamorphosis of totem in Shan-Hai Ching. Furthermore, by deconstructing one of the most significant totems among the Hua-Hsia (a.k.a. Hua-Xia) culture and civilization—dragon—with regards to its transformations and variations, I will analyze this totem and explore the meaning of its components. At the same time, I will practice the concept and aesthetic inspired by the Dragon totem and its metamorphosis with a costume design project. This project consists of four series: 1) cape and coat; 2) armor; 3)hemispherical dome; and 4) theatrical impressions (which is an artwork on paper). My costume design project is aimed to experiment with the texture of fabrics, and the outcome of which is meant to address the marks developed through the processes of metamorphosis and to emphasize such expressions driven by the conversion of meaning. For examples, in order to delineate the pristine texture of cave paintings, I apply tie-dying technique paired with discharge printing, in the meanwhile with the assistance of laser engraving. In addition, I also intend to create the relief texture of embossment through the garment structures and patterns, as well as the handcraft skills. By doing so, I endeavor to convert the plane surface to a three-dimensional structure, which embodies my understanding of the transformation of the meaning carried by the metamorphosis of the totem. The process reflects a step-by-step transitional progress of my costume design philosophy with this project, from the flat plane, and then a relief solid, and finally to a three-dimensional structure. Shan-Hai Ching is a classic and a prototype of Chinese mythology on metamorphosis. With detailed descriptions, it is also a fabulous geographical and cultural account of ethnicity, medicines, plants, animals, minerals, geological features, religions, and so on. It is also considered an important reference to the field of Chinese history. I argue that, the perspective of metamorphosis epitomized by Shan Hai Ching, is the portraiture of the totem worship phenomenon that is developed from the relationship between the given geographical environments and the living of the people there and then. In other words, the logic of metamorphosis mythology illustrated in Shan Hai Ching is shaped by the philosophy regarding the harmonious coexistence of nature, people, and also species. My costume project is designed to reflect such argument—by combining Western techniques and Oriental aesthetics, I attempt to unfold the toughness of Hua-Hsia civilization with the texture of fabrics, and also to inscribe the depth of history to the details of pattern.
