Full textThis is a study of the anti-mimetic paradigm of art using the expressions of the distorted mirror and the specific cases of the non-mimetic reflection since Antiquity until the end of the 15th century. We have decided to place our research of the Antiquity in the Greek and Roman cultural spaces and of the Middle Ages and Early Renaissance in the Italian and French cultural spaces. In accordance with our multidisciplinary study, we have analysed the various occurrences of the distorted mirror in the areas of literature, philosophy, art theory, and painting, as well as in sciences, such as optics and catoptrics. By considering the distorted mirror as the symbol of the anti-mimetic paradigm of art, we have followed its expressions according to four perspectives. The first perspective considers the importance given by optics and catoptrics to the specular instrument and, in particular, to the study of the laws of reflection for the distorted mirrors. The second perspective, the symbolic one, is represented by the analysis of the occurrences of the distorted mirror and of the specific cases of the non-mimetic reflection in philosophy, literature and painting, and more specifically of some of the themes and motives related to the mirror. With the third perspective, the aesthetical one, we analysed the artistic theories, in particular the ones that consider the specular metaphor, by following the two paradigms of art: mimesis and anti-mimesis. The functions of the specular representation in paintings constitute the last level of our research where we have focused especially on the distortion of the reflected image and on its meta-pictorial role

Full textVast work of medieval literature, the Roman de Perceforest retells the arthurian genealogy and the progressive rise of a christian monarchy. This christian power emerges on an island populated with wizards and faeries, renowned for its marvels and its creatures, and upon which two kings reign, Betis and Gadiffer. Yet, supernatural events are narrated with numerous allusions to ancient and medieval sciences, which allow an educated reader to uncover the illusionist behind the wizard, the female physician behind the faerie, and the natural phenomenon behind the unfathomable power of a mysterious beast. These sciences then account among the most potent forces that drive the novel toward Christendom. Giving reasons behind supernatural events, revealing impostors, sciences put forth the concept of Nature, and set the stage not only for the advent of christianity, but also for the strengthening of the royal power. Through the king and noblemen and women, it is in fact the power of nature and christianity that is constructed

Full textThe self-reflective phrase 'mirror-games' uttered by A. S. . Byatt's protagonist in her novel Possession has provided the subject for this thesis which studies specular relations in this novel and the Frederica quartet, The Virgin in the Garden, Still Life, Babel Tower and A Whistling Woman, published between 1978 and 2003. To what extent is this self-mirroring phrase valid for Byatt's novels ? The first part examines the specular effects which appear as a result of an operation of reduplication between the paratext - epigraphs, subtitles, images - and the text itself ; the second part concentrates on the mirror-structure produced by splitting the narrative into two levels and including fiction-within-fiction ; the final part studies the deformed mirror-image obtained through imitation, parody, anamorphic visions as well as transformation of Utopia into Dystopia

Full textThis thesis is made up of two parts. The first one, Incompetent Gods, is a short satirical fantasy novel written in English. The second part consists of an essay about the genre. Incompetent Gods - In a parallel world, created by the gods sickened with the atheism in our dimension, mortals and immortals live together in cacophony. Their relations are monitored by Gods Inc., a huge multinational that employs and controls most divinities. Its CEO, Queen Louhi Pohjola, is in grave danger, for in order to conquer the world, Goblin and his side-king Japhet are doing all they can to get rid of her. By devaluing old myths, parodying the clichés of fantasy, transposing gods into a corporate context and playing with language, this satirical fable aims to critique our society, our values and our utopias. Effets de miroirs. De la satire en fantaisie - This essay (in French) presents a literary study of the works of Terry Pratchett, one of the most famed authors of contemporary satirical fantasy, and a reflection on the creative process that answers two questions: how to ridicule one thing while evoking another? And how to create a mirror of reality through the use of fantasy? Ideally, this will give new insights into this badly perceived genre.

Full textThis cross-study of John Donne's (1572-1631) poems and Sermons explores along two lines the reflexive nature characterizing these literary texts and the act of writing that produces them. First, the concept of mimetic reflexivity describes the process through which the form of these poetic and homiletic writings mirrors and duplicates their objects of discourse. Secondly, when the texts are to themselves their own mirrors and self-reflexively bring out their own poetics, the creative act that engenders them appears in turn self-defined. Both are endowed with what will be called programmatic reflexivity, namely the self-referential description of their poetic principles. The specular quality of writing, both as text and as act, is analysed in an ontological-to-phenomenological sequence in four steps: death-absence, fragmentation-continuity-proliferation, memory, margins and folds. In an attempt to trace the many intricacies and instabilities of meaning produced by the mirror effects of the texts, this study resorts in particular to concepts borrowed from deconstruction theory

Full textMarguerite Porete, with her Mirouer written between the 13th and the 14th century, has managed to transform the theological discourse into a singular mystical work in French, which presents itself as a spiritual quest of the Soul, whose guides, Love and Reason, compete for the discursive preeminence until Divine Love prevails and the soul is annihilated in him. This study seeks to break the shimmering surface of the work, to reflect on the senefiance of this "mirror" offered to the reader. If it is not a question here of proposing a new historical and theological analysis of Marguerite Porete's heretical remarks, this memoir suggests a reading of the Mirouer from a literary point of view. Its starting point lies in the observation that the text proposes a female voice doubly marginal, by its genre and by its language, French, for a theological purpose. The idea was therefore to see how far the image of the mirror could be used and how the conflict present in its dual nature, that of an optical object of knowledge and that of a courteous object, could help to understand the text. Through detailed observation of the courtly and allegorical components of the work, we hope to identify the peculiarities of a treatise whose forms of discourse join theology and literature in a mystical ensemble that differs from traditional didactic and spiritual works. By highlighting the constituent elements of the book, in relation to a known didactic genre, that of the mirror, we want to demonstrate how this tradition confronts itself to and unites with a courteous and lyrical language, which makes it possible to propose an original theological teaching since it advocates, with the annihilation of reason, its own annihilation. In this way, we propose to reflect on the elaboration of this mystical discourse through its courteous and allegorical attributes in order to better understand the construction of this original Mirouer.

Full textIn common contexts of wars and scientific revolutions, the representations that melt, and sometimes haunt, the imaginary of writers of the Baroque and early twentieth century are similar. Images of an inverted world, where spaces, beings and moments are reflected, where instability and mutability are laws governing everything, the scenes and scenery of the three works of the corpus replace the harmony of the world that of the Creator, as the Bible describes it.Space, characters, lived time appear through a prism that refers to their double, diffracted, reflected first in the machine of involuntary memory. Reality is then changed into realities, places into impressions of an elsewhere, friends in chimeras, all subject to studies and interpretations constantly reevaluated.In a writing where views accumulate and overlap, Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf endlessly prolong the impressions, convolutions, arabesques that constantly differ the conclusion of the story, in favor of the spectacle of sensitive events and hero journeys through the strata of lived time.Characters in motion, Orlando and the Narrator run in search of the flesh of time, which they seem to find in their shadow and in the thrill of a moment, according to ecstatic modalities that Bernini or Caravaggio represented in their art respective.Facts of worlds of appearances, of illusions, Sodom and Gomorrah, The Time found or Orlando are not however texts making the apology of the skepticism and the renunciation of a certain form of essence: it is still necessary that it be brilliant and come into the beauty of an image that reflects the coincidence of an ephemeral vision and a poetic creation offered to the times to come

Full textA study of the connections and the interdependence that existed between the verbal and visual means of communication in renaissance england in the light of the cultural, artistic and commercial exchange with the netherlands. It comprehends an analysis of a corpus of continental prints that can be linked to the iconographic tradition of the mirrors of human folly, reflecting the influence and concern of sixteenth-century humanist circles. The moral discourse inherent to these images of excess and transgression shows a significant number of similitudes with the preoccupations of secular theater of the time. Which suggests a possible interaction between popular graphic themes and the theatrical text. The mirror of folly as a thematic issue, and the comparisons it allows for with the popular field of common-places, proverbs, and visually illustrated themes, provides the link with the dramatic text proper. In many instances, playwrights and poets adopted thought schemes and motifs that are also to be found in the graphic arts. The elizabethan spectator possessed a visual vocabulary enabling him to recognize possible references made to pictorial types and conceits. A subsequent comparative study offers some insight in shakespeare's use of these moral images

Full textBy using the context of the mexican author carmen boullosa (1954), this thesis proposes a discourse without innocence, reinventing the "facts" of the mexica(no(a)) passage, creating the metamorphoses of two fields : "mexican and feminism," crossing the limits and displacing them in a baroque universe where the coherence of the discourse is substituted by "feminin" and "seduction ;" in other words, it exists a constant "trans(e)duction" of the passage between "mexica(no(a)). " the approach of this work consists in naming the translations of these "transitions, thresholds or processes," and placing them in a "constant future" or in a memory of constant reinvention, taking away the concepts of origen, history or identity. The translation, pre-text, speaks of "she" without speaking, if it does not speak of "something" displacing the spectrum of i eye, creating a discourse in constant process. This thesis explores the (im)posible translations of the sign "female" by "deconstruing" narcissus, displacing him spatially in a second movement, and bringing him to precolombian america within the shifter "nahual. " "she," the pronoun projected, the "novel," the translation, the metaphore, migrates from mirror to mirror, from mexican land to nowhere. "she," the passage from land to land in the absence of "mother-land," migrating as a ghost, begins the transoceanic journey of the translation, the "transliteration," the "transmigrations," the "trans(e)ductions.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis was to analyse the way Blaise Cendrars used extracts from Christian literature in his own autobiographical works written between 1943 and 1949 (L'Homme foudroyé, La Main coupée, Bourlinguer, Le Lotissement du ciel, and, a commisioned autobiographical work, La Banlieue de Paris). How did such an agnostic writer, who read Nietzsche, confront himself with religion ? We defined mystical models as poetic mirrors directed towards the half-philosophical/half-literary interpretation of his life. Blaise Cendrars drew three portraits of himself while facing the death and the metaphysical and ontological issues : "the merciless Ironist", scoffing at the nai͏̈vety of faith, "the Lover of the secret of things", fascinated by the beyond mystery and "the Other", a strange figure who vanishes into the mirror of Christian religion and hides himself beneath Dionysos'mask

Full textCan we imagine a “dictionary of mirror” by Baudelaire? This thesis aims to build an imaginary dictionary by revisiting and fully exploiting the mirror themes in the Baudelairian world. This dissertation consists of four parts: the first part explores the infatuation with the mirror in French literature and in the real life of the 19th century. Starting with questioning the traditional themes of the specular metaphors among French writers, the initial part investigates Baudelaire’s attitude to the proliferation of optical instruments which profoundly influenced the artistic creations during the Second French Empire. The second part delves into “the supernatural powers of matters” in Baudelaire’s works. This is the dreamlike experience of mirror, especially in Artificial Paradises, where the almost supernatural specular visions and scintillating images are prevalent. The image of mirrors-eyes that intersperses throughout The Flowers of Evil constitutes one of the particularities in Baudelairian aesthetics. He dedicated himself to give concrete material forms to his dreams. The third part relates the inner struggle of the dandy who has a reflective consciousness in front of his mirror. After demonstrating the dandy's anxiety through the image of the double, a major theme of the time, this part follows the journey of the Beau du dandy in the concepts of love and prostitution while considering the aesthetic dimension of the mirror as "hypersign". Ultimately, the fourth part examines if Baudelaire's way of thinking coordinates with his way of working, i.e. conceiving and writing mirror poems. The final part shows how Baudelaire structured his poems, and how his specularity and poetic reflexivity extend to poetic forms and versification in his poems

Full textThe topic of this research is the myth of the "femme fatale" as influenced by the spirit of decadence in Belgian, English and French literature and painting at the end of the 19th century. Several types of representation, or iconographs, of the femme fatale are considered - the idol ; "la satane" ; vivien ; the sphinx ; Messalina ; "la gynandre" ; and the prostitute. The research analyses their evolution across various phenomena evident during the "fin de siècle", namely : stylistic amalgam, parody, narrative inversion, banalization and caricature. It highlights the importance of the phenomenon of exchanges between painting and literature, and the influence of one upon the other, in the portrayal of the myth. The choice and description of each type reveals how inspiration is drawn from a variety of sources - the supernatural, mythology, roman decadence, symbolism, naturalism, esotericism and feminism - and how, progressively, these representations reveal the decomposition of the image of the "femme fatale"

Full textThe aim of this study is to found a theory of the "urban novel", a genre which we propose to investigate in its present state at the end of the 20th century in France. Defined as a fiction whose plot unfolds in the contemporary era (that of the author and the reader at the moment of publication) the "urban novel" tends to offer a detailed description of everyday life without focusing on the representation of a particular social class. It is a characteristic form of expression in the post-modern period. The study examines a corpus of about fifty novels, edited between 1990 and 2000, and analyses the principal aspects of the literary city: as a network, a kaleidoscope and a patchwork. We describe the rules which govern the representation of urban space, classify the characters and plots which are typical of the "urban novel" and examine the intertextual strategies which largely account for the effect of "up-to-dateness" which is so characteristic of them

Full textIn Great-Britain, the nineteenth century saw the emergence of children’s literature, and the second half of the Victorian era in particular witnessed the Golden Age of that literary genre. The purpose of this work is to define the specificity of the Victorian fairy tale, which differs from its European predecessors in its relatively late appearance, but especially in its innovative writing that underlines at the same time the fact that it belongs to tradition, and its decisively modern nature. The corpus that was chosen encompasses the whole span of this Golden Age and emphasises its main features, that the topos of the mirror enables to synthesise in a unique dialectic: that of the same and the difference. The narrative issues, which express themselves inside and outside the discourse, the stylistic devices as well as the main themes developed in the texts celebrate the Victorian tale as a dual and paradoxical object, at the same time a faithful reflection and a distorted image of the traditional fairy tale, and whose deep links with the social, philosophical, scientific and artistic issues of the Victorian era are inseparable from its purpose and its writing

Full textThe symbolic richness of the image of the mirror in French poetry from fifteen hundred forty to seventeen hundred fifteen and in Chinese poetry of the tang dynasty is underlined through three aspects: the knowledge of oneself (around the narcissus theme), the knowledge of the other (around the theme of the woman and the mirror), and the spiritual knowledge. Before dealing with these aspects, the mirror is analyzed as a material object and in its historical development. The major traditional connotations of the image of the mirror are analyzed in both cultures. The variations of this image reveals not only the poetical view but also the technical, artistic, philosophical and religious quest of both cultures

Full textTra le possibili concezioni del fenomeno migratorio presente nella letteratura magrebina, quella di pensarlo come un evento che sconvolge l’ordine, come una violenza esercitata tanto sugli individui che, su più larga scala, sul modo umano di abitare il mondo, ci sembra oggi un confronto necessario per la ricerca letteraria. Nella misura in cui si concepisce la migrazione come l’evento che irrompe nella vita individuale e collettiva, la scrittura che lo esprime è una scrittura confrontata ad un indicibile iscritto nella soggettività che ne ha fatto l’esperienza. In altri termini, si tratta di una scrittura testimoniale che, nella sua portata etica, resta inesplorata tanto dalla critica della testimonianza, concentrata su altri traumatismi del contemporaneo, che dalla critica magrebina, impermeabile alla riconsiderazione di un genere sospettato del crimine di “lesa-letterarietà”. Nell’ottica di questa ricerca, Habel di Mohammed Dib et La plus haute des solitudes di Tahar Ben Jelloun, in forza delle loro caratteristiche formali e generiche, sono rappresentativi del conflitto relativo a cio’ che è accettato o meno come dicibile all’interno del discorso sulla migrazione. La convocazione di questi due testi pone il problema della delimitazione del campo del racconto di sé e della sua dimora. Tale convocazione solleva un problema più generale legato all’oblio che circonda la dimensione testimoniale legata alla letterarietà stessa, che caratterizza per noi la parola dello scrittore magrebino. In quest’oblio non possiamo forse distinguere l’iscrizione di un legame impensato tra la messa al bando all’opera nella società e la messa al bando di alcuni oggetti del pensiero letterario?

Full textThe research, "from history to fiction, french point of view on lebanon and syria since 1946 to 1991", lies at the crosspoint of history and litterature in the new perspective of imagology and comparative litterature. The evolution of the representation of these two close countries, traditionnally linked with france, is studied during about fifty eventful years. An heterogeneous corpus has been used, mixing cheap litterature, poetry, essays, highly documented articles from historians and orientalists. The first period extends from 1946 to 1975. After independance, each countries identity grew up differently, lebanon's myth was born with specific themes, at the same time syria was sinking into stereotyps and occultation. The lebanon war with its great events such as the israelian invasion, beirut's siege, the multinational intervention is the turning point in the french vision of these two countries. The lebanese myth breaks up, a new set of themes appears; more and more litterature is produced and cultural exchanges between france and the middle east are enhanced through new research and publishing centers. Today the images of damascus and beirut are more similar, although in a subtle way, through a complex readjustement of the whole area

Full textThe objective of this study is to look at feminine pedagogical literature during the Age of Enlightenment in a new way. Up to now, it has been considered as childish, feminine and pedagogical literature on the whole. Moreover, it has never been the subject of a comprehensive study. Using a corpus of fictitious and reflexive texts by female authors of the second half of the 18th century, well-known or not so well-known and completed by several texts from the same period, we have found that this literature participated fully during the 18th century in questioning education theories and practices. As well, fictional texts offer a reflection about society, politics and economy and establish models for what could be desirable governments. These authors had the ambitious project of offering a new approach to the public about the ways to regenerate society through improved education on one hand and through forms of virtuous governements on the other. Finally, beyond the diversity in forms and the religious, philosophical and political convictions of the authors, we have found that there are converging pedagogical, social and political ideas among these Age of Enlightenment female writers

Full textThe purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to analyze the reflection of scientific thinking in the Fantastic literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and, by the same token, to re-invigorate the theoretical approach to the Fantastic genre. The backbone of my thesis is to study the connection between reason and the Fantastic genre. In summarizing the specialists on this subject, one comes to the following conclusion: the Fantastic genre highlights the insufficiency of reason. It underlines the shortcomings, restrictions and failures of reason in the name of the inexhaustible complexity of reality. The image of reason that the Fantastic genre conveys is quite negative, although connected to a classical concept of rationality, nowadays obsolete. Some key revolutionary concepts of the twentieth century in the fields of physics and mathematics have significantly changed the way we regard reason. This progress marks the passage from classical reason (absolutist) to contemporary reason (relativist and a high degree of complexity). It could not be expected that Fantastic literature reflect a faultless and canonical image of reason, but a strictly negative image is unsatisfactory. The Fantastic genre is not insensitive, contrary to usual belief, to the amazing discoveries of modern science. It evolves in symbiosis with modern science. My goal is to show throughout this work that Fantastic literature gives a positive but troubled image of reason. The latter comes from the “monsters” that were invented by science during the twentieth century: Einstein’s relativity, quantum mechanics, Gödel’s theorem, non- classical logics (among others).In a Fantastic tale, strictly deductive reasoning, unbending and all-knowing is systematically defeated. But this is not proof that reason has reached its limits. Scientific thinking teaches us that it can be, on the contrary, a sign of an extension of reason. This rehabilitation of reason –of its "troubled" side– that takes into account the current scientific context updates the Fantastic genre and gives it a new unity. This updating means a substantial modification of the status of the supernatural: one does not consider it as a disorganizing agent but as an agent of rationality

Full textThis study deals with the dramatization of the lyric subject in the work of Rafael Lasso de la Vega (1890-1959), and is based on an analysis of the various traces in the poetic text of the discourse and mise en abyme of the poematic voice. Yet such dialogue between outer reality and fiction does not proceed from any reflection on the nature of the literary text, of language or enunciation authorities, however manifest this reflection might have been at the time when Rafael Lasso de la Vega composed his work. On the contrary it is indicative of a conception of art the end of which is nothing but itself, and that pretends only to return to the origins of the creative process¾to shape fictitious universes in which an equally fictitious poet may watch himself in the throes of creation. Such a view of art sheds light on the artist’s conception of existence. As the fin de siècle dandies, Rafael Lasso de la Vega would do his best to turn his life into something out of a novel, falsifying a huge part of his biography to create delightful legends about himself. This dimension is tackled in the first part of the study, which then offers a more structural analysis of the texts and their poetic language

Full textAfter the profusion of goldoni criticism following the 1993 bicentennial of his death, it was not so easy to find new ways of studying the playwright and his work. But these recent studies had shown how much of a european goldoni was at his time (1707-1793). So our choice of the character of the "foreigner" (forestiero in italian) could underline an interesting aspect of the goldonian theatre: the cryptic link between "us" and "them", the "same" and the "different", "here" and "there". . . First, the foreigner's presence would often show the venetian reality through his "persian" eyes. Second, he allows to emphasize the dialectic aspect of goldoni's dramaturgy through his presenceabsence on the stage and his isolated outlook upon the other characters. And finally, he is the "different" one who is also ambivalently the "same": he stands for goldoni himself, when he is turned into the mirror of a subtle stage autobiography, which parallels the memoires written in paris after 1784. Numerous aspects of the foreigner come from goldoni's own literary knowledge. The figure of the wandering actor is a follow-up from scarron's roman comique, the "persian" eyes that look out on venice strongly resemble montesquieu's in the lettres persanes. Goldoni himself forever foreigner - in venice too - seems to write his own autobiography in the manner of his century's travel novels. The errant pilgrim's analytical vision might come from goldoni's interest in alchemy (his father was a doctor): the foreigner is like the doctor of the diseased venetian stage (corrupted by the commedia dell'arte's obscenity) whose progressive transformation the dramatist is to oversee over a series of scenic experiments from 1750 to 1753. And finally, the foreigner is an avatar of the 18 th century new journalists: he is a precursor of the caffe of milan (1764-66) and their outside and ironical vision of italian reality

Full textAt the crossroads of literature, sociology and psychology, this interdisciplinary work is intended to analyzing (analyze) the condition of contemporary women through a corpus of Persian and French works written respectively by Zoya Pirzad and Katherine Pancol and published between the years 1990 and 2010.These works, by their wide readership, are in popular literature. An analytical approach on the evolution of the novelistic genre, can define our corpus in relation to the new forms of sentimental literature, especially the Chick lit.The emergence of women novelists illustrating particularly the feminine universe requires studies on women’s writing.In this regard, Virginia Woolf insists on the importance of personal experiences in the creation of literary works, Luce Irigary identifies a language full of excess, folly and contradiction among women authors and Elaine Showalter proposes the construction of a framework (of a female executive) to analyze the literature of women.Subsequently, the question of feminism and its various currents in the West and the East explicitly developed. To approve the famous phrase of Simone de Beauvoir "One is not born a women, one becomes one", this work seeks to highlight the direct and indirect influence of the family, the school and the environment on training of the identity of the individual.Finally, by a psychological approach, this research promises a silent renaissance by examining the mental state of the female characters. The mother-daughter or father-daughter relationship and sexuality are major axes of this last part
Lambal, Raphaël. "Du spirituel dans l'oeuvre d'André Malraux : Le Miroir des limbes." Paris 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA030162.
Full textThe importance of spiritual issues for André Malraux makes his study legitimate. Indeed, this fascinating notion and complex for its perceptible in all his works – especially Le Miroir des limbes. In this comprehensive survey, disconcerting by its literary construction, Malraux gives strong evidence, beyong the major events of the twentieth century history (revolution, wars, decolonization. . . ) of his direct experience of the spirit in terms of enigma, unformulated and that he directly apprehends through his personnal vision. This experience beautifully recreated in his works is one of the most interesting ways to apprehend his intellectual universe that he constantly expresses whenever he deals with foreign cultures. Tanks to his contacts with a diversity of cultures in the world, Malraux notes that natural obviousness in a culture often results as an illusion for others. The history of the manichean separation between the Western culture and other cultures - particulary the Eastern and African ones – in their contacts with the invisible is clearly shown in Le Miroir des limbes. But, in his opinion, the diffrence can’t, in no circumstances, hamper possible exchanges in terms of spirit that can occur at the level of what he calls “profundities” and that arts cannot define but just express. For the spirit, wich goes with the inexpressible, concerns every culture in the world. He realised that the experience of the spiritual is not limited neither to the dogms in religions or the other spiritualies nor the arts which silence in the domain of the immemorial is more eloquent. And that may be what is original in his approach
Teodorski, Marko. "Dans le miroir de la sirène : la monstruosité du sujet désirant masculin à l’époque victorienne." Thesis, Perpignan, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PERP1215.
Full textThe thesis discusses changes in monstrosity and materiality in the Victorian, nineteenth-century, Britain and the relationship of these changes to the notion of a male Victorian desiring subject. It argues that a change happened at the level of the Victorian language (language understood as a system of signs, not a specific language), and that previous Foucaldian ‘perpendicularity of representation’ was substituted by a differential structure of meaning. An unrepresentable and unattainable particle appeared inside of language – a desire for death and semiotic coherence – giving birth to a fundamentally split subject. This subject expressed himself, and his metaphysical search for wholeness, in many different monstrous forms, entering a labyrinth of language specific to the Victorian and post-Victorian culture. By combining Foucaldian (the historicity of language) and Lacanian (the split subject and the mirror stage) theoretical frameworks, the thesis deals with the change in Victorian representational language by analyzing mirror and siren narratives of the nineteenth century. Contrary to popular theoretical approach to monstrosity as something dwelling on the margins of the possible, the thesis argues that, called upon and marked by the incoherence of the Victorian language, the monstrosity of the age emerges as the male desiring subject himself. Though for millennia represented as the Other to be encountered, the monster of the analyzed narratives – the Victorian siren – becomes the protagonist of its own sad stories. Reading siren bodies as topologies of the subject who created them, the Victorian sirens are understood in this thesis not as limits/outskirts of the subject’s possibility, but as expressions of the very subject who created them – the male Victorian desiring subject

Full textThe critical analysis of the personages Marguerite Gauthier and Macabéa in the films -Camille / Le roman de Marguerite Gauthier, 1936 and A hora da estrela /The hour of the star,1986 - seeks to understand the mechanisms by which the myth of the eternal feminine ensures its permanence in contemporary women’s imaginary as an image-reference. The first section of the thesis focus the power of looking by an analytical approach between the stereotypes of the colonized body and the feminine body, identified as the “other” in the colonial discourse. The second section is a historical and critical analysis of the eternal feminine represented by the emblematic personage of Marguerite Gauthier, performed by Greta Garbo, and the resignifications of this myth by the contemporary media. The third section is a critical reflection about the feminine outsider, represented by the personage of Macabéa, by questioning the reception of the myth and its influence on the women’s creative process. This work focuses on the concept of 'experience' as a central element for the articulation of "others' perspectives, while questioning the relationship between film, feminine and narrative
Tang, Yuqing. "Le dit du miroir : une étude parallèle d'Alain Robbe-Grillet et de Jean Echenoz." Thesis, Paris 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA030088.
Full textThe literary critics have found the relation between Robbe-Grillet and Echenoz and that between New Novel and young writers at Midnight. However, in terms of their filiation, there is no systematic research related to the convergent and divergent aspects so far, especially the differences and similarities in the narration. By interpreting the obscurity of the mirror as the fragmentation of multiple reflections and the inversion of the vacancy as well, this dissertation finds that the subject in their writings incorporates both the self and the other to itself in vain because of the identity crisis. Based on the antithesis between here and there, both authors provide a typology space dominated by vacancy and openness. Regarding the narrative structure, there are different ways to mirror reflections within a text and between the texts. Moreover, from the perspective of the critical discourses, or in the mirror of their respective groups, both writers form some overlapped and inter-excluded specular images

Full textThis thesis aims at studying the role explicitly assigned to the reader by contemporary authors of recent American writings dealing with the Holocaust’s aftereffects. These post-memory narratives which all bear physically the family trauma inherited by the authors require an active participation from the reader who is placed in a similar position as the one the authors once found themselves in, forced to use his imagination, question the unknown and embark on a quest for facts that may lead him to unexpected questionings. The “bridging generation” is the last direct link that exists between Holocaust survivors and contemporary readers and third-generation writers are aware of their responsibility as memory passers
Chantoiseau, Jean-Baptiste. "Déjouer la transgression : du dandysme au terrorisme des images littéraires, plastiques et cinématographiques." Thesis, Paris 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA030133.
Full textArtistic portrayals of transgression in the 20th and 21st centuries often present a violent, macabre spectacle. Its intensity would appear to simultaneously attest to a "death wish" (Freud, 1920) and forge a link between eroticism and death as depicted by Georges Bataille. Thwarting such "transgression terrorism", which exhausts both the work and the spectator, is an invitation to unmask the conformism and falsification involved in such endeavours. At the opposite extreme to these approaches exist other manners of envisaging transgression in art that seek to use it as an occasion for in-depth questioning or to shatter certitudes. This "transgression dandyism" involves intensive formal work. Analysis of a vast corpus, at once literary (Wilde, Barbey d’Aurevilly, Bataille, Genet…), plastic (Blake, Cocteau…) and cinematographic, reveals an array of strategies aiming to play on, confront or transcend transgression. Only on examination of the particularities of these artistic universes do singular trajectories with antithetical goals become manifest: whereas for one creative mind the emergence of transgression occasionally presents a problem (Bresson), for another the drama resides in the impossibility of escaping it (Lynch). On closer scrutiny, the secret of aesthetics and ethics in contemporary works might be elucidated by observing the fate reserved for limits and taboos. That the central role in any authentic transgressive approach is no longer played by a hypothetical "death wish" but by incest is also tenable

Full textFrom neo-realist novels to fantastic narratives, and from modern fables to committed essays, Italo Calvino (1923-1985) was a prolific author. His writings all weave together the real and imaginary, the visible and invisible, the said and unsaid, the present and absent. At the centre of this pattern are often cloven characters in search of truth, harmony and completeness. The city, the archetypal human space, constitutes a privileged observation point from which these different themes can be observed. More than just a setting or a living space, it acts as a mirror for its characters. Whether the city is real, invisible, imaginary or utopian, it seems to hide a secret. The present study offers to simultaneously recount and follow the evolution of urban and human space in order to see if these outer and inner landscapes can actually live together. If we take into account the Calvinian corpus, we see that the city continually changes its face : from the small provincial and seaside town to the industrial metropolis, from the encyclopaedia city to the rootless one. Often considered to be a powerful monster, a disease of modern times, a sterile and anonymous space, the city resembles something more like a gilded cage in which men are always led astray. In order to escape this labyrinth, we must reimagine urban space in order for it to reclaim its true meaning. Thus, we will travel side-by-side with Marco Polo : we will retrace the history of the city in order to travel the continent of Elsewhere, one in which cities will be suspended in the air, unburdened by reality, and where – perhaps – we will be able to recover our humanity and our citizenship of Cities

Full textThis study aims to analyze five works written by Peter Handke in the 2000s (Crossing the Sierra de Gredos, The Great Fall, Don Juan - His Own Version, Kali and The Moravian Night). The approach adopted throughout this research is based on the concept of the extimate – which will be defined not as the opposite of intimacy but as one of its new modalities. This notion, which signals the paradigmatic shift of self-writing practices in the post-autobiographical era, brings to light the differential movement underlying Handke’s writing. After focusing on the conflicts between selfhood and identity experienced by the characters in a double movement of dis-belonging and re-belonging, this research will especially analyze the sharing of the Say within narrative configurations taking place at a pre-speech level. As the subject of writing is being reminded of the responsibility linked to the ethical foundation of their activity, a disjunction occurs that exposes it not only to others, but also to the violence of the great Outside. Faced with the chaos of a reality struck by catastrophe, the extimation process of writing deconstructs the framework of the Albertinian perspective to produce a new form of spatiality. This new space will be considered as a “topical fable” opening up to a sensory reconfiguration of the real as well as a reconstruction of the event. The last part will be devoted to exploring the different actor and temporal dynamics which renew the story’s essence. The art of combinations and the role given to “adventure”, unleashing the powers of imagination, recreate duration and thereby restore the ability of literature to tell a story. In conclusion, the extimate represents a gesture of writing that provides access to the narrational and ethical event experienced in the moment of kairos

Full textWāsiṭat al-sulūk fī siyāsat al-mulūk is a Mirror for Princes written in the 8th/14th century by the Zayyānid ruler of Tlemcen, Abū Ḥammū Mūsā II (d. 791/1389). Similarly to many later Mirrors for Princes composed in the Maghreb, this book did not attract the interest of many researchers and no comprehensive study was made of it. This research work proposes to establish a critical edition of it and to analyze it. The aim is to consider the specificities of this Mirror for Princes, on the one hand, by analyzing the theoretical discourse on good government in the light of the particular context in which this book was written and by comparing it with the political experience of its author and, on the other hand, by comparing it with the works constituting its principal sources. This study also aims to analyze the terminology used in the Wāsiṭat al-sulūk fī siyāsat al-mulūk to better understand certain concepts frequently used in the Mirrors for Princes, such as those of siyāsa, tadbīr, ḥazm and ẖāṣṣa, and to determine the particular use that is made of them in the work. Finally, the narrative of events which the author himself develops as one of the protagonists is analyzed and compared to the story of the same events relayed by his contemporaries in order to highlight the writing strategies implemented in the book and to establish the different functions of this Mirror for Princes which is far more than a simple compilation of advice intended for the Crown Prince

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to reassess the specificity of Patrick White’s last four long fictional works. Critics have indeed tended to interpret the whole of White’s literary production through the prism of the novels of the middle period – several of which undeniably rank high in Australian literary heritage – thus missing the specific character of the various texts or the perceptible evolution within White’s work. This perspective presents the religious motif as the keystone of the Whitian universe, where uniting with the divine is seen as a solution to the characters’ quest for identity. In White’s last fictional works however, the divine element gradually disappears as a divided subject emerges, this being particularly noticeable in the progressive assertion of the first person narrative. This thematic and aesthetic evolution brings about a radical change in the characters’ quest for identity and its conclusion. Freudian concepts of the self and the subject reinterpreted by Lacan allow the subversion of identity – understood as “sameness” (Ricoeur) – to be presented in terms of a redefinition of the self’s unity and truth. This subversion of identity also means questioning the writer’s literary identity: White’s last fictional works become more of a game involving the reader in the process of building up a multi-faceted truth
