Full textIn 19th and 20th centuries America and West Indies, the national poet’s works lay at the centre of a traffic of images. This traffic feeds the fragile social ties of young collectivities, at a time when communities are bound by imagination rather than by direct contact between their members. Distancing themselves from the representations of the community circulating at that time, like the exotic images of the New World’s nature, the poet offers an ambitious democratic vision for the future which is channeled through images of the territory, the people, slavery and history. The poet’s ethos encourages the reader to appropriate this discourse by presenting the author as a role model. However, it is mainly thanks to his style, at odds with the literary norms of his time, that the poet is able to act upon society. Whitman, Martí and Césaire do not so much contrive to capture their people’s spirit, as they participate through their work on the fragment, on popular poetical forms or on the destabilizing of meaning, in the creation of a common devenir

Full textCette thèse analyse par le biais la théorie post-coloniale les relations internationales dans Ivanhoe, Quentin Durward, Anne of Geierstein et Count Robert of Paris. Les théories historiques élaborées en Écosse au XVIIIème siècle sont fondamentales dans la vision scottienne parce qu’elles forment la base de la systematisation de l’histoire, du développement sociale et, par conséquent, des relations entre les différentes communités. Ces théories influencent profondement les images qu’il utilise et la façon dont il décrit les caractères et les scènes. De plus, elles lui fournissent une gamme de stéréotypes qu’il manipule très adroitement. Sa conception de la manière dont se forment les nations vient des idées contemporaines et de sa propre expérience de l’union politique de l’Angleterre et de l’Écosse. Il considère la nation comme une communauté fondée sur l’ascendance par le sang mais aussi comme un groupe d’ethnies différentes qui vivent ensemble. Sa description de la nation emprunte à la métaphore de la famille courante au XVIIIième. Celle-ci lui permet d’inclure dans son analyse l’héridité et la mixité au moyen des couples formés par un père et sa fille. Le père représente la culture traditionelle, et la fille, le présent et le futur national. Son marriage avec un étranger signifie que les gens d’ascendance différente peuvent traverser les frontières perméables d’une nation. La religion est la frontière ultime: les nations chrétiennes ne peuvent absorber de non-chrétiens. Scott considère que la domination et la sujetion forment une partie complexe des relations humaines. Les sujets qui paraissent subordonnés possèdent en fait un pouvoir occulte, le dominant ayant besoin de leur soutien pour maintenir sa position. Bien que sa conception patriarcale de la société fasse que les caractères feminins ne manifestent pas d’agression envers les hommes, il montre que la résistance passive est très efficace. En imitant le sujet dominant, le sujet subordonné menace le pouvoir et l’identité de ce dernier. Le pouvoir ne s’exprime pas seulement dans la politique. Rebecca dans Ivanhoe revèle l’importance que revêtent le caractère et la moralité. Bien qu’elle soit au bas de la hiérarchie structurante de la société anglaise, elle domine le roman.
La conception que Scott se fait du temps est fondamentale à celle de la nation et de la culture. Au moyen du chronotope, les cultures historiques prennent des formes physiques. Les cultures qui sont subordonnées politiquement basent leur action au présent sur le “temps pédagogique”. Au contraire, le dominant rejette son passé et ne vit qu’au présent et au futur. Les relations entre le pouvoir dominant et le subordonné s’expriment aussi par la vitesse: le temps passe vite pour les puissants, mais lentement pour les faibles. En définitive, tous les éléments de la conception scottienne de la nation sont liés au temps, qu’il s’agisse de l’histoire, de perception par les caractères, ou de la vitesse.

Full textBy concentrating on Nadine Gordirner's work written throughout her long and prolific career, the thesis covers sixty-two years of South African history and literary production and leads us to examine the synergy between nation and narration. The concomitance of these two notions can initially be ascribed to historical circumstances, since the author's literary beginnings coincided with the advient of the apartheid regime in South Afiica. Starting with the questioning of her own identity as both a white South African and white writer, she then devoted her writing to understanding and recounting the complex political evolution of her country. From apartheid and its colonial origins to the post-apartheid moment and the present era of economic and cultural globalization, these changes have prompted her to rethink existing literary and political forms. We will therefore question the power of Nadine Gordimer's literary discourse to narrate the South African nation. The corpus we use to tackle this question focuses on her substantial nonfictional writing, previously understudied if not unknown, and on its interaction with her fiction (novels and short stories). We can then observe the impact that the choice of a writing genre mig,ht have on the act of narrating the nation. The author, her work and the national question are here presented as 'post-colonial'. However, based on the South African con/text and with the help of recent critical theory, we will also argue that we must redefine such a label which sometimes turas out to be problematic and totalizing

Full textThe subject matter of this thesis is to explore the post-colonial imaginary in four fictional stories of the rainforest. It intends to bring out the colonial foundations of the images the Spanish-speaking authors convey in their works, such as: Canaima, La Voragine, Sangama, as well as the Portuguese -speaking one: Inferno Verde. The theory of the Imaginary by Gilbert Durand and that of the 'decoloniality' ( Dussel, Mignolo, Castro-Gomez, Quijano) are the scientific tools used in this demonstration. The combination of both approaches aims at displaying the colonial nature of the national imaginary which is underlying in the narratives of the forest. After studying the symbolism in the fictions and in the 'Chronicles of the Conquest', this work takes up the analysis of the imaginary in the colonial societies and in the national entities in the making. It will end with the study of the myth of Race which nurtures the imaginary of the fictions and that of society alike. The various discourses, whether they be scientific, literary, anthropological etc. . . Finally appear as many moments of a similar discursive formation: the Great National Story/Narrative
Le, Vourch Noémie. "Pouvoirs civils et religieux dans la fiction d'Earl Lovelace (1935-...) : entre collusion et collision." Thesis, Brest, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014BRES0015/document.
Full textIn his novels and short stories, Earl Lovelace describes the island of Trinidad as caught in the ebb and flow of two antagonistic systems of thought, both shattered in the event of a sudden decolonisation. Religion and politics, the corner stones of social architecture, have no choice but to undergo changes in view of adaptation. Facing a background of secularisation and growing political consciousness, religion is compelled to lay aside its selfsufficiency to avoid being overthrown by the body politics. As a consequence, a struggle, in which the survival of individuals is at stake, ensues. This thesis offers to explore the rivalries between the religious and political bodies as well as the ability of Lovelace’s fictional Caribbean to overcome this dichotomy. In other words, in Lovelace’s work does polity annihilate religion or act in accordance with it to achieve a move from unworthy politics to a faith aiming at liberation?

Full textNationalism in sub-Saharan Africa « imagines » a homogenous national identity embedded in the mythology of African uniqueness, which represents the woman symbol of cultural roots (the “Mother Africa “trope). This study analyses how the sub-Saharan female novelist (the woman as a mute, extra-historical and apolitical object of culture) appropriates African nationalism (re-imagines the nation) to define a new identity for African womanhood. The study tests the hypothesis that a marginal subject reveals itself in “border location” according to its similarity or difference to dominant subjects. It analyses political nationality (citizenship), cultural nationality (Africanness), and their interaction within the representation of female national identity. And They Didn’t Die and Nehanda evoke liberation movements in South Africa and Zimbabwe to recontextualise women’s cultural affiliation (the woman “pot of culture)” between tradition and modernity. Matins de couvre-feu and L’Ex-père de la nation depict the post-independence disillusionment of Senegal and the Ivory Coast to subvert the dichotomy of public and private spheres which construct a male centred State (the “Father of the Nation”) and the woman-centred “domestic” sphere. Finally, Destination Biafra highlights ethnic nationalism in Nigeria to illustrate the problematic of the intertwining of cultural and political nationalities resulting from the paradoxical construction of the African nation-state: A State (a geo-political space) defined by modern borders and a supranational nation (“imagined community”) delimited by the symbolic borders of a pre-colonial culture
Huchette, Jocelyn. "La "gaieté française" : théories et représentations du caractère national dans la littérature des Lumières." Paris 4, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA040206.
Full textAs a literary myth and a source of more or less well-considered nostalgiae, the gaiety of the French eighteenth century is looked upon as an exception of history, a golden age of the " civilisation des mœurs ". For Voltaire's contemporaries, " French gaiety " especially fits into the general picture of the " caractère des nations ". Du Bos, then Montesquieu, elaborated the theory, thus renewing the hippocratic tradition of temperament and climate. By doing so, they also gave a new conceptual tool to the political thought of Enlightenment, from which the " nation " was to be considered with the Revolution. The point of this study, far from any patrimonial sympathy, is, on one hand, to analyze the idea of the nation as a representation, in a sense that it is literary as well as juridical; on the other hand, to recount the genesis of the nation as a moral person, whereas it remained considered, according to the climatical scheme, as a " physical " person, submitted to the same natural determinism as the individual. Law and literature meet on this complex and unsteady ground of " mores ", with the French nation inventing itself as an autonomous subject, whilst previously it was confined the absolutist vision within the building of the state
Louis-Dimitrov, Delphine. "L'écriture de l'histoire dans l'oeuvre de Mark Twain : un imaginaire de la trace." Thesis, Paris 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA030057.
Full text: This thesis aims at redefining Mark Twain's literary identity in its articulation with history. The motif of the trace, which stands at the core of the national mythology that shapes American identity, is in Twain a writing principle expressing a dissident historical consciousness. The progressive reappropriation of this paradigm subverts collective representations and defines a singular apprehension of national and individual historicity. The opposition between the mnesic trace—which inscribes history into a place—and the prospective one—the starting point of a new tracing—lies at the root of the symbolical representations of the Old and the New Continents. In Twain's writings, these two forms of inscription correspond to two opposite modes of historicity—stasis and progress—and two political regimes—monarchy and democracy. Twain nevertheless subverts this symbolical polarity by revealing the stratification of American history. He thereby hints at a drift towards monarchy that results from the loss of the nation's founding principles. His fiction thus defines a historical economy in which the traces of the nation's origins appear to be inhabited by a principle of loss that may contaminate whoever attempts to appropriate them. The determinism of individual origins meanwhile suggests the closing down of history. To the deadly hold of the trace, his writings oppose the utopia of non- inscription – the principle of an escape from history and of a renewed coincidence with the origins. Yet the resurgence of unsolved tensions in Twain's late works converts the utopia into the staging of the abolition of history

Full textThis thesis analyzes the works of fiction written by contemporary Middle Eastern American women from the point of view of literary cartography. The works studied are Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf, Laila Halaby’s Once in a Promised Land and West of Jordan, Susan Muaddi Darraj’s The Inheritance of Exile, Alia Yunis’ The Night Counter and Diana Abu Jaber’s Crescent. The selected works of fiction all contribute to the questioning of the dominant discourses surrounding the Arab-American diaspora. The skepticism of the readers is aroused through presenting counter-histories or alternative versions to the stories and identities that they think they already know. Through a close reading of these works of fiction, the various chapters of the thesis trace an evolution of attempts to reappropriate the American myth to include Arab identity, to a mixture of the two (Western and Arab myths), and the rewriting of Arab stories in line with the American context

Full textIs it possible to speak about « poetics » with respect to a phenomenon which is as fluctuating as exile? May the latter, which, in its various meanings, cannot be totally defined, allow the emergence of a specific language? It is up to us to find out through which mechanisms such a trying expression of interculturalism might lead to the creation of a language which goes beyond the framework of the nation (even when it emanates from the latter) and which reaches out towards transnational and universal invariants and word structures. In order to achieve this, we rely upon three authors which were chosen in different geographic areas and in different periods : Hölderlin (Germanic area), Rimbaud (Latin area) and Sarafian (Armenian area). Exile is primarily defined with respect to the country of origin, in conformity with the definition. But it becomes a linguistic phenomenon, as in the shock with the foreign word after the genocide of the Armenians (Sarafian), or in the formulation of an aesthetic quest with verbal creation at stake (Rimbaud), or in the essential search of a new mythology, along with the confrontation with the foreign world in order to redefine that which belongs specifically to the nation (Hölderlin). Both the geographic exile and the linguistic exile lead to a spiritual exile and to the search for a loftier fatherland. This new spatial entity would result from a hybridization process (or at least from questioning), whereby the word of the exile could be expressed in different formats for the three authors, with, however, some striking similarities

Full textThe panama canal is a national and global reference. The canal’s idea emerged from the Spanish colony. This thesis is a Social critic study which represents a literary vision of the historical events. Those facts reveal disturbance of the Panamanian society marked by the presence of foreign society all along the Isthmus of Panama history: The colonial period, the Colombia’s union period and the presence of the north American settled in the Panamanian territory for the Panamanian canal. This historical reality reveals that Panama canal represent a social and identity manifestation which writers describe as the memory of the society. This study reveals a relation between the historical aspects and the literary discourse which is born from the controversy and complex reality that impact the Panamanian lives and the Latin Americans. This problem obliged to see the discourse as a collective and societal experience linked with the worked of the authors which become the society voce. The Isthmus of Panama and the canal are a obliged crossing for the international business which leads to migration, the cultural mix, the idiosyncrasies, and the creation of an imperialist unit which tear apart the identity and nationality of the Panamanian people
El Canal de Panamá es una referencia mundial. La idea de un canal por el Istmo data de la colonia española. Esta tesis es un estudio sociocrítico que representa una visión literaria de los hechos históricos. Estos hechos revelan las perturbaciones de la sociedad panameña marcadas por la presencia de sociedades extranjeras a lo largo de su historia: el periodo colonial, el periodo de unión a Colombia y el periodo de la presencia de los Estados Unidos instalada sobre el territorio de Panamá en razón de la existencia del Canal. Esta realidad nos revela que el Canal de Panamá representa una manifestación social e identitaria que los escritores registran como memoria de una sociedad. Este estudio permitirá revelar una relación entre los aspectos históricos y el discurso literario que nace de la realidad controvertida y compleja que ha tenido un impacto en la vida del pueblo panameño y de América Latina. Este problema obliga a ver el discurso poético como experiencia colectiva y social amalgamada al trabajo y a las experiencias de los autores que se convierten en voz de la sociedad. El Istmo de Panamá y el Canal son un paso obligado para el comercio mundial que ha engendrado la migración, la mezcla cultural, idiosincrasias diferentes y el establecimiento de una célula imperialista que ha lacerado la identidad del panameño

Full textThe concept of national literature evolved in 18th century’s Europe at the same time as the concept of nation-states. As a matter of fact, nation-states were in part made possible by literature, which acts, because of the cultural discourse it conveys, as a key vector that enables communities to imagine themselves. The institutionalization of literature served as a powerful tool for the leaders and elites of each community. They used it to establish their dominance and create a sense of national identity. This institutionalization was often conducted with a certain violence, that is, by sacrificing—for the benefit of unity—part of the cultural diversity that was flourishing inside the nation-state’s borders. Moreover, modern nationalism was born in Europe in a climate of rivalry: it is by opposing one’s own culture to that of one’s neighbours that one sought to define one’s own identity. The objective of our thesis is to study the role of the contemporary writer in the creation of a literature whose objective is, this time, to allow the world’s global community to imagine itself. We analyze the novels of J.-M.G. Le Clézio to identify the strategies he uses to allow the world’s different nations to feel they belong to a global group while preserving the specificity they are entitled to claim. Le Clézio’s novels fit in several respects in the Goethian notion of Weltliteratur, that of a literature that’s a counterpart of national literatures. That world literature then becomes an instrument to promote a new identity and unity in a world where diversity is now valued and lucid relationships have replaced rivalry

Full textAs Karl Marx summarized, the colonized "cannot represent themselves; they must berepresented.” The Natives of Brazil have always held a special place in Brazilianliterature. Since the 80s, they have become the subject of their works.From Metade Cara, Metade Máscara Eliane Potiguara (2004); Falling from the sky.Words of a Yanomami shaman co-written by the shaman Davi Kopenawa andanthropologist Bruce Albert (2010) and Geografia indígena jointly by teachers intraining from Parque Indígena do Xingu (1995), we address the issue of indigenous and Brazilian identity, questioning the legitimacy and the validity of the description "indigenous literature". From these diverse publications emerge enlightening reflections on the notion of identity, notably when crossed with the challenge of authorship. The adoption of alphabetic writing by the Natives of Brazil allows the appropriation of a portrait subject to scrutiny from others, thus a return to Western and Brazilian writings.Moreover, indigenous literature brings a different view of history dealt with from a perspective of "Western super subjects" (Saïd, 2000). Drawing upon post-colonialtheories, we show that Native literature is revolutionary because it offers an eccentric viewing angle (Bhabha, 1994) extending the European concept of historiography (Mignolo, 2003) based on the multiplicity of the voices of the various (Glissant, 1981) in particular based on orality

Full textOur study takes a look at the symbolism in French and English literature, represented by the personage of the fairy. Writings with a mythical theme were an obligatory rite of passage for the majority of poets, big and small, in the young generation of the Symbolist movement. Their works share common concerns; the desire to create an archaic memory of the fabulous, to construct an ideal image of the nation, to revisit poetic rapture through storytelling, to question the legitimacy of the image and to test the possibilities of the poetic voice. Far from being reduced to a symbol of escapism, the motif of the fairy represents hope, questioning and flaws in the Symbolist movement. We can see how, thanks to an enchanted topos, a fragile and dispersed movement succeeded in opening up the literary tool of the poem to a national and transnational dialogue between its different actors, and moreover creating for itself an identity and a collective history which compensates for the official history of the movement.

Full textRomantics historians and novelists have a same vision of medieval society. For them, it is the cradle of our modern societies, the cradle of the beginning xixe century society. When they study middle-ages, when they relive it, they are looking for their roots' novel. To be more specific, historians (and writers are following them by transposing their ideas in fiction) are looking for the roots of the nation, especially the roots of the french nation as it comes on politic stage in 1789. So, they would like to write a popular and revolutionnary history of middle-ages, in which they are looking for the premises of the nation such as it is understood in 1789, binded by the wish of living together, unitary and sovereign. Middleages, this time of people's infancy, is the age of making up nation's elements. All begins with a fantastic chaos, a conquest which overthrows established order before instituting another one, in which the winners will have all rights (political, economic) while the defeated party will be dispossessed for a long time. Feudal system ratifies this situation, more and more contested by people composed of looser' sons who shake gradually the lordly power by rebellions and revolutionnary reactions. People become liberated little by little, by the way of municipal revolution in particular

Full textThe main characters in boys' adventure stories between the 1830s and the 1860s are young heroes on a quest to find adventure and remote horizons. Their itinerary through British colonial spaces is an initiatory progress towards a masculine ideal. This imagined fashioning of male identity is located at a crossroads between several traditions and idealized images of what "being a man" meant in the first decades of Queen Victoria's reign: between Christian manliness and muscular Christianity, figures of the gentleman, the knight and the hero, it is the palimpsestic production of an idealised masculinity which is being played out in those narratives. Which images, stereotypes and norms are brought into play? How do they circulate and how are they circulated? How is the progress towards a dominant model of masculinity narrated and illustrated by a grammar? The literary text gives birth to a specific staging of gender, between the imitation and the incorporation of norms, norm which can be otherwise circumvented, or even turned upside down through hybridization processes that these British boys are subjected to in the contact with geographical, cultural and gendered otherness. The reader is rapidly confronted to the fluctuation of novels which are much less rigid than one could anticipate. These novels turn out to be the production site of several masculinities which are experiencing phenomena of friction and interpenetration
Le, Guennec Denise. "Circulation et réception des fables dans les pays slaves entre 1750 et 1850." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LORR0172.
Full textThe thesis deals with the spreading and the reception of fables in Slavic countries between 1750 and 1850, although some fables, published later, have also been taken into consideration.The great majority of the fables taken into account are Russian or Polish but other fables, either Ukranian, Czech, Slovene, Croatian,or Serbian, much rarer and belated, have also been dealt with.. Slavic fables have been compared with fables of western Europe in order to estimate the impact they may have had on one another.The first part is structured round the writers of fables: their implication in the great historical movements of their respective countries, their involvement in the cultural life of their countries and their place in society. This part ends with a chapter dedicated to the few women fable writers, Russian and Polish, whose presence, although very discreet, is nonetheless significant of the influence women may have had on societies in which only men were visible. A picture of that time has also been made, based on a group of less than 200 persons but who are very representative of the elite of their time.The second part deals with the fables and their literary, geographical and thematic evolution. It starts with the classical fables which, at different times according to the countries, contributed to the development of a national classicism. The fable was used as an educational tool in its moral dimension, and also as a medium of social satire and political involvement. In addition, the impact of the sentimentalist trend on the fables at the end of the 18th century in Russia, Poland and Bohemia has been analysed too. The other countries hadn’t yet experienced their cultural awakening. Romanticism had a more mixed influence on fables. On the one hand the fable was a means of expression for the new-born national feeling which included both the people and the past, partly relying on the folklore, on the other hand Romanticism itself put an end to fables which, for the Romantics, were a subject of study at its best or a medium through which they could express their fancy.The third part is a study of rewritings, translations and imitations. Fables spread from west to east with the rewriting of ancient fable writers from la Fontaine to contemporary Europeans: Germans, French, English and a few others.Then there were the rewritings of Russian fables, mainly Krasicki’s and Krylov’s. The counterpart was the translation of Slavic fables into French during the Restauration. The double nature of fables has also been underlined: a classic genre above all else, it is immutable but also open to all interpretrations. It was wholly attuned with its time, while adapting itself to the various cultures, but its golden age ended with the last convulsions of classicism. It can be noticed that no faithful translation existed at that time. Everything was rewritten and fables offered a repertoire whose characters and stories, based on their folklore, form a common source that can be used endlessly. Moreover, for various reasons, mainly historical ones, Slavic fables haven’t had the recognition they deserve in our western culture
Fiszer, Stanisław. "L'image de la Pologne et des polonais dans l'oeuvre de Voltaire." Nancy 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997NAN21023.
Full textA fragmentary and incomplete character of the critic work on the question and its intrinsic importance invite to reopen the investigation on the picture of Poland and poles through the works and polish relations of Voltaire. This doctoral thesis is made up of three parts. The first one, culture and actualities describe the genesis, sources and formation of the picture of Poland. The second one, from the history to the pamphlet, presents the constituent elements of the picture and their reciprocal relations. The third one, debate on the controversial picture, studies its reception, illusions, disillusions and critiques relative to it and to its painter himself. The originality of this approach to the problem consists in putting at the centre of the debate the Voltaire’s political pamphlets which date from later than his historical works. A close examination of these ones and those ones permits to assert the consistency of the philosopher's anti-polish attitude. Nevertheless this attitude, full of nuances, gives rise to numerous misinterpretations. That’s what the author tries to show, summing up critical opinions of Voltaire. He tones down their criticism by presenting the writer's views on Poland in relation to his philosophical, political and social ideas formed by the age of the enlightenment which continues to influence the future centuries

Full textForeign and national imaginaries of the Brazilian Amazon are the result of a long and incomplete historical and literary construction started by Europeans in the 16th century. The first texts about the region gave accounts of a faraway, exotic and wild place. These representations would be permanently associated to the Amazonian space, in particular during the 19th century, when Brazil initiated its process of political emancipation and identity formation. In the vast project of constructing a national identity, it is important to understand how foreign imaginaries shaped the local imaginaries. And the Amazonian writers had a remarkable participation in establishing a collective identity. Wanting to secure a place for the Amazon in the national architecture, they used the traditions of the indigenous people as well as the knowledge of the Europeans. Using the study of travel narratives, of the press, of regionalist literature, through the lens of scientific theories and literary currents, and at the intersection of various disciplines, we will analyze the formation of imaginaries of the Amazon, how they have consolidated throughout the centuries, and to what extent Amazonian writers appropriated them to create a regional literature
Os imaginários estrangeiros e nacionais sobre a Amazônia brasileira são frutos de um longo e imperfeito trabalho de construção histórica e literária, iniciado no século XVI pelos europeus. Os primeiros textos sobre a região dão conta de um lugar distante, exótico e selvagem. Representações que serão associadas para sempre ao espaço amazônico, notadamente no século XIX quando o Brasil inicia seu processo de emancipação política e de construção identitária. No vasto projeto de constituição da identidade nacional, importa compreender como os imaginários estrangeiros modelaram os imaginários locais. Outrossim, os escritores amazônicos tiveram notável participação no estabelecimento de uma identidade coletiva. Buscando assegurar um lugar para a Amazônia na arquitetura nacional, eles recorreram tanto às tradições dos povos autóctones quanto aos saberes dos europeus. Através da análise de narrativas de viagem, da imprensa, da literatura regionalista, à luz de teorias científicas e de correntes literárias, e na intersecção de várias disciplinas, são analisados a formação dos imaginários sobre a Amazônia, de que forma os mesmos se consolidaram ao longo dos séculos e em que medida os escritores amazônicos deles se apropriaram para criar uma literatura regionalista

Full textIncest, a notorious universal taboo, is an ancient protean theme in literature. According to Peter Thorslev, writers are drawn to this theme because of its powerful dramatization of the conflict between an individual's desire and that of the society. This theory is applicable to the past tradition of romanticism, but it doesn't take into account the complexity of incest fictions written in Twentieth-century novels. The «proliferation of discourses on sex within the context of power itself » described by Foucault, along with the development of the politics of race and eugenics, explain how the incest theme is intertwined with another controversial concept : « race ». Novels no longer depict an individual fighting against society when they portray incest, but they think of human groups trying to define themselves, often by way of race. Confronting incestuous characters is not a means of drawing an obscure symbolic line between the civilized and the savages, but among citizens and non-citizens. In South Africa and the United States of America, where political fictions had defined the nation as a perfect family to justify the exclusion of non-white people from the community of citizens, « counter-fictions of incest » examine in provocative ways how citizenship and rights are articulated. I question the incest theme – forbidden desire or sexual violation– in novels from 1929 to 2005, by American writers such as W. Faulkner, T. Morrison, R. Ellison, G. Jones, Sapphire and by South African authors like D. Lessing, B. Head, A. Dangor, M. van Niekerk, and L. Rampolokeng. I outline the aesthetic and political evolution of the incest theme in novels written in those societies where community, nation and « race » were particularly interconnected, while simultaneously reflecting on the omnipresent reality of the crime of incest in all societies

Full textThe thesis argues that New England women writers, and Sarah Orne Jewett principally among them, rewrote New England as a literary locus and territorial muse. Their rewriting is placed within the larger context of New England’s transition from a normative and synecdochic center of the nation to a region among others. By choosing a genre and a literary object which had been classified as minor, these women-writers transformed the place to which they had been assigned in the world of letters into a site of creation (lieu)–that is a site of continuous invention. They used the malleability of the margins to reshape the tropes of the New England imaginary in their own words. In lieu of a New England which has been interpreted alternatively as either a site of local color or, more recently, a deterritorialized region, the thesis reterritorializes the life and shape, history and memory of this locus which both framed the work of women writers at the turn of the twentieth century and was reinvented by them
Tumia, Francesca. "La métaphore comme "passeur culturel" dans l'oeuvre de Vénus Khoury-Ghata." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015USPCA140/document.
Full textThrough her literary works, Francophone Lebanese writer Vénus Khoury-Ghata who resides in Paris, suggests an alternative idea to that of the isolated representation of Lebanon and of the Lebanese identity. Expressed in French from the outside of her motherland’s limits, her point of view makes good use of her marginalization towards the national literature which worries about its “cultural authenticity” while aiming to invent other images of her own country.The literary effect produced through the writing of her poetry and novels, which is situated and placed in the meeting point of cultures and languages, is thought particularly striking through her use of the metaphor. This figure of speech is contemplated primarily through the issues about the representation of the Nation, and it is then dealt with its function of “cultural crossing” through text, firstly in an intercultural perspective and secondly in a transcultural one. Seeing that they consider culture as a process rather than that of heritage, the khouryghatien metaphor in the text stands as a way of disclosing the realms of “possibles” in the Identity studies. In this sense, it plays the same role in Vénus Khoury-Ghata’s work as the Relation in Glissant’s total world. Through the metaphor task, khouryghatien poetry and novels widen national consciousness to the world by encouraging the meeting among multiple cultures and it also works for understanding and reconstructing the identity of the Lebanese people
Attraverso le sue creazioni letterarie Vénus Khoury-Ghata, scrittrice libanese francofona residente a Parigi, propone un'alternativa ad una rappresentazione separativa del Libano e dell'identità libanese. Il suo punto di vista, elaborato in francese "dall'esterno", mette a profitto la propria marginalizzazione rispetto ad una letteratura nazionale attenta a preservare un’"autenticità culturale" per creare immagini diverse del suo paese d'origine. L'effetto letterario e stilistico prodotto da una scrittura - e in versi e in prosa - situata nell'intersezione di culture e lingue, riesce particolarmente incisivo nell'uso della metafora. Questa figura stilistica viene esaminata anzitutto attraverso le problematiche della rappresentazione del significato nazionale, quindi nella sua funzione di "passeur culturale" nel testo, dapprima nell'ambito di una prospettiva interculturale e poi entro una prospettiva transculturale. Qualora si intenda la cultura come un processo "in fieri" anziché un patrimonio esclusivo da salvaguardare, la metafora khouryghatiana appare come un dispositivo stilistico atto ad aprire dei "possibili" nei discorsi identitari. In questo senso essa gioca nell’opera di Khoury-Ghata lo stesso ruolo della Relazione nella totalità-mondo di Édouard Glissant. Tramite la creazione della metafora, l'opera khouryghatiana apre, dunque, la consapevolezza nazionale a quella mondiale favorendo l'incontro tra più culture e concorre alla comprensione e alla ricostruzione identitaria del popolo libanese

Full textOur PHD thesis is about "Enduring time and space in Louise Erdrich's saga Love Medecine. This topic was chosen because of the complexity of time and space in this literary work. Both literary and scientific perspectives of time and space are interrelated and interactive and inspire our analysis and perspective of this work.The scientific context in which this topic is anchored is one of uncertainty about the nature of time and space which opens doors to literary and artistic creativity and imagination and makes it a matter of controversy.Otherwise, the literary context of our research lacks enough scientific investigation about literary representations of time and space in the Native american literature and culture. This was the reason why we shed light on this topic in our PhD research.The literary work we focus on is the saga of Love Medecine by Louise Erdrich and which contains seven interrelated novels: Love Medicine (1984), The Beet Queen(1986) et Tracks (1988), The Bingo Palace(1994), Tales of Burning Love (1996), Four Souls (2004), The Painted Drum (2006. Other works of fiction by Erdrich and her peers are being mentioned like Leslie Marmon Silko, Linda Hogan, and Gerald Vizenor.Time and space in the work of Erdrich are represented through multiple ways, levels and perspectives. The challenge of our thesis is to give a definition or make a clear and logical view out of the messy time and space in the saga. We tend to analyse and scrutinize the impact of the disordered time and space on the novels and on the reader's perception of them.We raise the following questions: What sens can one percieve through narrative fragmentation? What are the scientific stakes of this literary and aesthetic representation of time and space? What is the message that Louise Erdrich aims at transmitting through her disorganised and franctioned time and space in an era of Native amercian renaissance?

Full textContemporary Tibetan-medium fiction literature appeared on the Tibetan cultural scene (in the PCR) in the early 1980s. To date, about twenty novels and more than three thousand short stories have been published. This PhD dissertation begins with a panorama of the main traditional (i. E. , pre-1950) 'fiction' texts which paved the way to modern fiction writing. The second chapter is dedicated to a survey of the world of books, newspaper and translations in pre-1950 Tibet. The third chapter begins with a review of the intellectual and, more specifically, publishing and media circles in Tibet since 1950, followed by an introduction to the main fictional currents today : tale, realism, magical realism, historical fiction and heroic fantasy. Last, the fourth part scrutinises the functions of this fiction in today's Tibetan society : it shows that writers play an ambiguous role since they are often considered, and consider themselves, as messengers of modernity, reform and rejection of traditions, while at the same time conveying a message of resistance to Chinese domination and valorising through their works crucial elements of Tibetan identity. Their writings develop a certain idea of territorial consciousness, of language and ethnic awareness, of their perception of history and of religion. We hope to show that writers and fiction literature today take part to the construction of a Tibetan identity awareness today

Full textUntil the 1970s, the First Nations of Quebec passed on their stories verbally. A Native American literature written and elaborated in French has emerged very recently. This last seems answer to several issues : preserving and transmitting a threatened culture, denouncing the colonization and its impacts, claiming a Native American identity and the values that it represents, while constituting a specific art. Quebec's Native American French-speaking literature has been the subject of very few studies : its youth and the reserves associated for a long time with the study of the First Nations has weighed on this field, so that the subject remains mainly unexplored. One of the main interest of Native American literature is that it's based on an extremely rich cosmogony. The aim of this thesis is to study the place and the treatment of the oral literary tradition in this contemporary literature, from its emergence, in the 80s, until 2015. The question is why and how First Nations writers reintroduce today the oral literary tradition in their books in French. In this context, this study follows the common thread woven by three major areas of reflection respectively centered on the background, the form and the purpose of contemporary Native French-written texts : the resumption of the content of oral traditional stories, the neo-orality of contemporary written forms and the updating of the commitment present in ancestral narratives

Full textThis study is an analysis of the relation between the poems of Auguste Brizeux and traditional Breton folksongs. It is inspired by the curious and unconventional poetic structure found in his poems, similar to the forms particular to the traditional song of Lower-Brittany. We suppose that this particularity comes from the adaptation of the poetic system found in Breton song to French poetry. If that is the case, this hypothesis would also lead to a new question: As Brizeux was close to Théodore Hersart de La Villemarqué, author of the Barzaz-Breiz, had there been a real influence between the poetic practice of our poet, Brizeux, and the production of the so-called “Breton folksongs" published in this La Villemarqué's famous book? This compelling question is the source of interest in our comparative study, its motivation and the thread that leads us to an intriguing conclusion

This volume is shedding lights on the tragic events in the Arabic history, which the poet bounded with the history of other nations who face an identity problem. The poems pursue a fixed and steady timing, which initially commencing with Granada falls tragedy in 1492, followed by the Palestinian "Catastrophe" in 1948 and finished in the events of the second Gulf war and the Peace Conference between Arabs and Israel in 1991. The whole volume based on epical genre. We have used the epic as a model to exprime the national identity of the Palestinians: it shows their tragedy, their defeat in the past and their apocalyptic destin in the future

Full textThis work, which shall be organized in three parts, offers to analyze how the Canadian nation is represented in Hugh MacLennan’s fiction. These modes include map-making which calls for the representation of geographical, cultural and historical borders. To set these borders, the author resorts to certain European codes. At this period, Europe is still associated with the origins of Canada and continues to define all national perspectives in terms of centrality and periphery. The realism that characterizes many XIXth and XXth century European novels led MacLennan to prefer a realistic and organized representation of the national territory. He progressively set his work apart from modernist and postmodern trends which tried to face an ontological crisis of representation. This work will attempt to analyze these overtures to a wider world that will lead the author to make certain choices. These choices give his novels their didactic dimension, and the readers are directed towards a specific interpretation of the national myth. However, all choices remain inclusive and exclusive. The cartography of a nation has difficulty resisting the ceaselessly changing face of society. The contemporary reading of his work reveals a new portrait of Canada and its culture, and this thesis will try to determine the role that MacLennan’s fiction has played in the Canadian literary landscape

Full textOur thesis demonstrates that identity referents to the forest of Québcécois society are based on the crystallization of the representations that took shape and spread in the first half of the 20th century. More precisely, we studied the scientific, economic and cultural representations disseminated by the elite in the public domain, by overlaying legislative materials, literary works and print media.Our thesis unfolds a narrative divided into three pivotal time: 1905-1906, with the creation of the Minister of Lands and Forests (MLF); 1921-1922, with the enactment of a first legislation supporting the implementation of forest inventories and forest management; and 1937-1938, marking the end of an era with the departure of Gustave Piché, Head of Forest Service since its inception. Implicitly, through the intricate work of adapting the American Conservation Movement to that of the Québécois reality.Juxtaposed to this political-administrative time frame, we considered literary works. It is not so much by the quantity of literary works addressing the forest, by which we can measure the presence of the forest in literary works, but more by the quality and by the diversification of forestry realities that the works disclose. These worksbringto the forefront the collective and multidimensional nature of forest and territorial symbolic appropriation.Although it may seem on the surface that there is a large gap between political-administrative and literary backgrounds, they do cross roads in the first half of the 20th century bearing witness to the discursive production of a fringe of Québécois society motivated to lay the foundation of a “forest mentality” faithful to its image

Full textThis thesis centres on the study of the historical novels of Uruguayan writer Eduardo Acevedo Diaz: Ismael (1888), Nativa (1890), Grito de gloria (1893) and Lanza y sable (1914). It comprises three parts, in addition to the Introduction and the Conclusion: 1 - Eduardo Acevedo Diaz’s conception of history. This part includes the study of the way in which real facts as well as historical characters are portrayed. 2 - Other aspects of literary writing. In this part the descriptions of nature, the “costumbrismo” and the treatment of different aspects of the narrative instance are analysed. 3 - The works: their scope and significance. This part deals with the circumstances of the creation of the Uruguayan State and Acevedo Diaz’s objectives: contributing to the creation of a national identity and therefore to the shaping of the national imagination. Different aspects of this project are discussed, from the exaltation of geography and the epic of the independence movement, through different controversies, to the rehabilitation of José Artigas. The controversies lead to the examination of various writers – Argentine as well as Uruguayan – who, at the time, violently attacked the fight for independence and its heroes, in particular José Artigas. Thus, Eduardo Acevedo Diaz devotes himself to the creation of a white legend and refutes opposing views
Le, Corguillé Fabrice. "Identité et hybridité dans les autobiographies amérindiennes des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles." Thesis, Brest, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BRES0072/document.
Full textAs early as the 18th century, some Native American Indians began to give accounts of their lives in autobiographical texts using, often subversively, the semiotic codes of the white, dominant, Anglo-American society: English, alphabetical writing, texts made to be read. As hybrid compositions which combine discursive, rhetorical, and narrative practices from both the Native and Anglo-American worlds, these autobiographies also reveal how and why their authors address the ambivalent issue of socio-cultural and identity hybridity in the tense context of colonization.In a three-part rationale (to present oneself, to narrate oneself, to recompose oneself), this dissertation intends to investigate how, in these texts, the form is responsive to the content in order to create a narrative “performance,” a sort of “aesthet(h)ics” of creolization, from which spawns a valorizing stylistic and conjunctive identity. The autobiographies of five authors furnish the basis of our analysis: Mohegan Samson Occom's untitled manuscripts of1765 and 1768, Pequot William Apess's three different versions (1829 A Son of the Forest, revised in 1831, and “TheExperience of the Missionary,” 1833), Paiute Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins's Life Among the Piutes (1883), OttawaAndrew Blackbird's History of the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan (1887), Omaha Francis La Flesche's TheMiddle Five: Indian Boys at School (1900)
Clavier, Aurore. "Origines et originalité américaines dans l'oeuvre de Mariane Moore." Thesis, Paris 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA030142.
Full textAs a modernist, Marianne Moore (1887-1972) appears both central and marginal, radical and anachronistic, local, cosmopolitan and idiosyncratic, and she seems to have resisted categorization ever since her first texts. Her verse and prose works therefore enable us to question the notions of origins and originality which constituted the heart of the cultural debates about America, from the 1900s to the decades following the Second World War. While, faced with the anxiety of repetition, belatedness and derivation, some authors and critics sought to recover a more or less mythical foundation, through Europe or not, she tended to replace the idea of a fixed origin with multiple beginnings and new starts. Yet, her work was not dedicated to the ideals of artistic novelty and originality. The America she described let the surviving forms of older times surface, and it was observed through a multiplicity of visual, scriptural or cultural intermediaries. The author’s status was thus questioned, giving way to more humble characters— the reader, the critic, the craftsman or the bricoleur. Tradition was no longer a model to be recovered or excluded, but the stage for continuous accommodation, through which mimicry could become creative and foreign imports could inspire experiments and adaptations, without erasing radical singularities. The purpose of this work is to study these various displacements, as well as the redefinitions of America and its literature they allowed

Thesis, Paris 10, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA100034.
Full textThe present dissertation explores the interactions between culture and politics by focusing on the history of the Soviet Writer’s Union of the Uzbek SSR and the fate of the writers who ruled this institution during the second Stalinism. Analysing these relationships as a form of co-ruling, the study sheds light on the conditions of production of the literature, on the changing ratio of power between the institutions, and on the public role of the writer after the Great Terror of 38-39, which leads to the decimation of the cultural elites, ans especially of the Muslim reformists. Surviving writers have to use new strategies to re-stablish a continuity in literature, like using propaganda productions to rehabilitate literary genres. During the world war two, the evacuation of industries and intellectuals reinforce the power of the Soviet Writer’s Union, as Tashkent is becoming a prime cultural centre. The writers nationalise and give a new meaning to the political imaginary of the Soviet Union, giving birth to an hybrid culture, which go far beyond the Stalinist project of “national in form, proletarian in content”. Finally, the study analyses the late Stalinism at the light of the local reinterpretations of the repressive Soviet literary politics from 1945 to 1953. Shedding light on the conflicts between institutions and factions, the study shows the singular character of this period, as the nationalisation of imaginaries and language is reinforced whilst the centre aims to regain power on this territory and wants to establish the primacy of Russian culture. The study ends with the resolution of this tension in a new episode of terror. The nationalisation of the culture is then suspended until the Thaw

Full textThe dragon is the national symbol of China and the rooster is of France. The dragon is an imagined animal; the rooster is a real. They are different from other symbols such as Germanic eagle who evokes strength and authority at the first sight. Why the dragon and the rooster could have been served as a country’s symbol: what characteristics do they have? what conditions have they fulfilled in the history to win this place? We try to answer the questions with three parts. The part I studies the two symbols’ presence in daily life. We find that a frequent presence produces a familiarity that allows all social communities to identify the appearance. The part II is on the iconography and aesthetics. The morphological evolutions of the two symbols reveal that their image combines the human and the animal. We discover that the two symbols present common schemas: strength, privilege, power, etc. Nevertheless, their image is obtained in a different way. The frontal dragon is in connection with the emperor, the rooster with an image of knight and hero. The part III focuses on the literature, discusses the nomination and the role. The study on the nomination reveals that the two animals’ name and appellation confirm the identified schemas of leader, emperor and elite, which allow the literary character, dragon or rooster, to manifest their authority of emperor (king), civilizing hero or mythical ancestor. These similarities bring their image closer to the national symbol. Besides the homogeneous aspects, we find a heterogeneity in the construction of the two symbols’ image on the ideal personality of the two countries: the emperor for the Chinese and the hero for the Frenchmen

Full textIntercultural relations between China and the Occident have become a vital phenomenon of our age. They range from dealings in major areas of economy and politics to interactions in the visual arts, literature and philosophy. Since the Opening of China during the 1980s, France, in particular, has become the primary destination for dissident intellectuals and students of Chinese origin, a fact which has facilitated a new direct exchange of ideas. This thesis deals with the interculturalism of those very intellectuals in the literary context of the Franco-Chinese novel, hence addressing a key area of this new interculturalism: the authors generate a substantial cultural contact by publishing their works in France, thus linking their Chinese world of thoughts to French culture.The methodological approach is based on the notion of culture as an entity undergoing permanent development caused by human beings who are perceived as participants in the process. Defining culture as ‘text’, Clifford Geertz assigns textual status to all cultural phenomena, thereby emphasizing the interpretative nature of culture as a network of practices and discourses being permanently changed and refined. Literary texts are on the one hand partial elements of this network themselves; on the other hand, they also participate in the productive process by representing and interpreting the bigger text of culture. The thesis accounts for those properties of literary texts by first investigating them as results of a cultural development and subsequently comprehending them as a form of intercultural representation and interpretation.The text corpus of the analysis has been built on the basis of the works of five exemplary writers: François Cheng, Gao Xingjian, Dai Sijie, Ya Ding and Shan Sa. Showing particular pertinence with respect to the subject matter, their intercultural dimension is shaped by three major contextual phenomena: the shared memory of China, the exile experience and the confrontation with the French world of publishing

Full textThis thesis concerns a general study of the literary life under the first Empire. It is not only a question of redrawing the literary history of this underestimated period, but also of analyzing the reports connections which had the writers with the napoleonic regime. Furthermore, this literature, so weak in literary production in the public opinion, already expect from the next revival of the French letters after the bloody events of the Revolution. It is the one thus naturally which opens the way to all this plethora of famous authors who will carry the romanticism in its fulfillment. Our problem thus is to analyze the role of the authors of the beginning of the century such as Chateaubriand, Madame de Staël and Senancour in this spectacular hatching of the romantic writing. This work also aims at drawing up a complete board of the genres under the first Empire: the novel, the theater, the poetry are treated in depth by highlighting the novelties intervened in these literary forms, a particular attention is tuned to the talented figures which become famous in this literature. The press is studied in a detailed way, we were especially interested in the conditions in which the journalists wrote in papers; that is we reviewed the restrictive legislation organized by the regime to manage the public spirit. In province, the same binding measures were observed under the attentiveness of the prefects, a creation of Napoleon. The napoleonic conception of the power and its legitimacy which stand on the glory constitutes the skeleton of this chapter which analyzes profoundly the sights and the innovations of the Emperor in the management of the country affairs. So this work aspires to concern a new lighting the decade which saw Napoleon coming to power and forging an imagination since become legendary. We thus tried to correct this omission by undertaking this work which brings a new vision and a new knowledge of the first Empire outside clichés and stereotypes concerning the weakness of its literary production
