Full textIn most often cases, my pen expresses in the way of a cold writing", Michel Leiris writes in À cor et à cri (p. 109), "but I like when it sings in a style of warm writing, which is a mutation responding to a raising of the tone or of the tension that whips momentarily my languid blood. " Throughout his life, Michel Leiris lives in a contrastive situation. His nature is cold, hard, indifferent, logic. . . Sometimes terribly anxious, but he likes things rather hot, as he says, the things that can stimulate him and give him the wonderfulness or the enthusiasm such as bullfighting, opera, and jazz. Jazz is an important element in his life. This music style is really the key to understand Michel Leiris. For him, Jazz is not only a pure music, but also anything that is related to the Blacks of Africa and to the Blacks of America, if they are not mixed up: "This precisely makes not only African but also African in America underestimate the value of Jazz, since for Africa, Jazz is a little charming mischief of art; however, for Jazz, Africa consists of a pile of gloomy, flat and flashy things that are nearly always miserable (which, nevertheless, build its unique beauty)" (Miroir de l'Afrique, P362). The research on Leiris face au jazz will allow us to find a new way to approach the writer and also the anthropologist
Taniguchi, Asako. "Michel Leiris : un devenir poésie." Paris 7, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA070073.
Full textTryinq to examine the exact moment when speech turns into poetry : the present study follows the lead on this question put forth by Michel Leiris in À cor et à cri in order to find out how in Leiris's works words cease to be just words, how the text at one point takes on a shimmerinq colour which makes us more alive and more sensitive to the course of time. Startinq from Glossaire j'y serre mes aloses as from a microcosm in which Leiris's work is reflected in its most condensed form, the author undertakes the close and careful decipherment of a set of texts deliberately chosen from a wide range of leirisian works and tries to understand what it actually means that Leiris's deepest ambition was "to be a poet" and that when he was twenty-two he chose "transmuate" as his maître mot. Leiris's writinq is neither lead nor gold, but lead in the process of becoming gold. "Becominq-poetry" : rather than opening a new field of study, this thesis aims at creating a new way of speakinq about Leiris in an attempt to follow as closely as possible the gradual transformation of his texts. Which may be nothing else but the process of reading them, as the author shows by several examples
Molla, Christiane. "La figure héroïque chez Michel Leiris." Montpellier 3, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995MON30047.
Full textReferred by his own author to the bullfighting, Michel Leiris's work illustrate all the facets of an heroic figure onto which the autobiographer projects himself. Fed by myth, delibertly situated in an hyperbolic environment, the subject builts thus his own heroic status. As the works grow, a substituted identity, claimed by his creator, would so be founded. The genesis of the mythic double goes through different stages : aspire to a prestigious lineage, with a poet as gather, a singer as mother, collect the pictures or the scenes that glorify the I as a heroe, alternatly warrior, traveller or dandy, all exhibitions dominated by the figure of the artist. Nevertheless the heroic projection takes part in a general effect of trompe-l'oeil, presentin the decor and the utterance, which aptitude protects her in fact from a petrifiying eternity, and yet perpetuates her in her heroic phases. Played into the text, this subtle game against the death - which is the essential stake in an autobiography - reaches its highest point in the illusion of the whole work miming a never-ending piece of writing as a last challenge to the rules of its genre, and as an absolute accomplishment ofthe textual figure

Full textBeing present in the French intellectual milieux troughout the XX century, Michel Leiris (1901-1990) published a lot in the journals wich aimed to become show-cases of the activities of various literary and artistic movements, of avant-garde in the first place. The autobiographic writings and ethnological work of Michel Leiris have concealed this aspect of his creative activities, and it has not yet been studied systematically. The thesis borrows the approaches from different disciplines - the history of ideas, literary and art history, history of anthropology, sociology and psychoanalysis. The first part analyses the life-path of the writer-ethnologist. The conceptions of Pierre Bourdieu's theory are used to highlight how the logic and constraints of literary field acted in the life of Leiris who had avoided the path predetermined by his family and social class to join the artistic circles. The second part follows chronologically the passages of Leiris in the world of journals and shows the originality of his voice and of his contribution to the following journals : La Révolution surréaliste, Documents, Les Cahiers du Sud, Minotaure, La critique sociale, La Nouvelle revue française, La Bête noire, Les lettres françaises, Les Temps modernes, Présence africaine, Critique, Gradhiva

Full textThe emergence of Africa in the work of Michel Leiris testifies his willingness to know the other and at the same time to re-evaluate his own self through the encounter with the other. Leiris travels through Africa from the west to the east during the Dakar/Djibouti mission from 1931 to 1933 as the recording archivist of the ethnographic and linguistic mission headed by Marcel Griaule. This mission becomes an occasion for Leiris to get in touch with Africans and to be away from Europe for a moment. His stay in Sanga allows him to enter the sacred universe of Dogon people and to analyse the significance of the masks. As far as that goes, his stay in Abyssinia also gives him the opportunity to be in direct contact with the possessed people and the Zar spirits. Ethiopia is the last country visited by Leiris and it is the country which touches him the most. Blacks do not make any difference between Leiris and the other white colonialists during this particular period of colonisation. His encounter with Africa gives birth to several pieces of work such as Ghost Africa and The Secret Language of Sanga’s Dogons. Leiris hopes that his travel to Africa will help him find a therapy to his problems. In this vast enterprise, he will see the myth of a regenerative travel broken and will not be able to get rid of his obsessions. Ghost Africa is a testimony on the ambiguous position of ethnology of this particular period. Objectively; he tries to say everything on his own self and on what he feels while in Africa. The other becomes his main concern, from Africa to the West Indies; he is interested in the cultures of the black people with often a critical comment on them. He becomes ethnologist himself, questioning the world from the sample of human category that he is, as an external witness somehow, of what is happening in his own self and around him. Africa remains a ghost for Leiris because of the image of Emawayish, the Gondarian of Ethiopia with whom he falls in love during his stay in Abyssinia

Full textA poet close to surrealism, an autobiographer and an Africanist ethnologist, Michel Leiris (1901-1990) was also the friend of the greatest artists of the twentieth century - André Masson, Joan Miró, Alberto Giacometti, Pablo Picasso, Wifredo Lam or Francis Bacon. The relationships between the writer and painters or sculptors gave rise with the former to the writing of numerous commentaries on the work of the latter. Revealing different writing exercises - poem, review article, preface or essay -, the writings on art express a common singularity of the poet within the scope of art history. Less an expert in art than a lover of art, Michel Leiris has made his writing a place of experimentation and quests towards the artistic creation of his time. By relating the circumstances of the meetings with the artists, then, by studying the friendships maintained with the latter, it can be demonstrated how Leiris embodies a singular and emblematic personality in the specific field of art history. Moreover, his writing will be linked to the ever renewed experiments in which the writer participated throughout the twentieth century - surrealism, ethnography or political commitment. Thus, the expression of his sensitivity can be placed at the centre of the epistemological debates of art history and the Humanities and Social Sciences. Actually, it will be a matter of questioning the quests of "presence", realism, modernity, beauty, sacred and the figure of the otherness in art, through issues inherent in the discipline of art history, while considering Leiris's sensitive and subjective link with the works of art
Sermet, Joëlle de. "Michel Leiris poète surréaliste : de la lyre au miroir." Paris 7, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA070022.
Full textMichel Leiris, a member of the surrealist group from 1924 to 1929, is generally known for his autobiography, however, he considered himself above all a poet : poetry is at the basis of his entire body of work. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the origins of a poetically oriented oeuvre, by means of a study of Michel Leiris's surrealist texts works which have been neglected by critics. Each of the three parts focuses on one of the poetics that Leiris experimented with, from his early lyrical essays up to the foundations for his autobiographical project in the beginning of the thirties. The first section deals with his attempts at semiautomatic depersonalisation as sketched in Simulacre, Glossaire : J'y serre mes gloses and Le forcat vertigineux. The thesis underlines the definition of a paradoxical lyricism one finds there behind the neutral voice characteristic of these texts which leave the initiative to the words themselves. On the other hand, three oneiric narrations, "le pays de mes reves", Le point cardinal and Aurora, form a triptych where the relating of dreams is a pretext for an introspective and fantasizing quest for the sources of inspiration. Poetic enunciation blurs generic limits and subverts unstable narrative frames. The third path, perceptible in Grande fuite de neige, failles and la Nereide

Full textOur thesis invites the reader to follow the route taken by michel leiris, a writer who learned his craft at the elbow of artists and who has, all his life, maintained close friedships with them. Our study seeks to show, through analysing their shared experiences, the role played by painting, and in a more general way by the visual arts in the construction of michel leris's literary idendity. A first part, which concentrates on identifying prictorial motifs in his autobiographical work, and especially in l'age d'homme, analyses the way in which he introduces images into the narrative flow of his text. This first section reveals the existence of a memory process associated with images which dates from childhood, then attempts to describe the lengthy development of the author's personal pictorial culture. In a second part, our attention is drawn to what michel leiris has written about art. His friendships with painters have allowed him to publish works in collaboration with them. He also writes as an art critic, setting out his personal conception of the artist. Here, then, he underlines the similarities and differences he sees between the image and the written word, the artist and the poet. These multiple experiences have all contribued to building up the literary identity of michel leiris. A third part completes the study, examining the imaginary quality of the writer's texts and, looking at the ruban au cou d'olumpia, analyses the very special role played by painting in this work, and particularly the, somewhat secretive, role of surrealist art
