Full textHeinrich mann's short stories are a body of miscellaneous works which resists interpretation. The key to analysis is the category of genre : once these works are classed according to their relation to the genre of german short stories, their overall coherence becomes clear ; by distinguishing between the two opposed forms of the novelle and the kurzgeschichte, it is possible to define distinct, successive phases in that body of works, although in thematic or stylistic analyses, a feeling of complete arbitrary predominates. Heinrich mann displays a thorough knowledge of the brief narrative, and pays close attention to the structural aspects of his short stories. His attitude towards the genre of brief narrative reveals the profound originality of his conception of literature. A study of the importance of these stories within his work highlights the fact that, appearances notwithstanding, the short story occupies a central position. Heinrich mann's work on this form clearly shows that he refuses all kinds of generic pigeonholing. Not only does it embody his narrative esthetics in the most consumate way, it is also a cross-roads for every textual form, whether narrative, dramatic, or non fictional
Cozic, Alain. "L'art de la nouvelle chez Théodor Storm." Paris 12, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA120058.
Full textThe aim of this work is to define the scope of the different aspects of theodor storm's art of the short story- theodor storm considered as one of the 19th century major writers in the german language. The adopted method, instead of holding the notion of short story as an evidence then to try to demonstrate afterwards to what extent these works would confrom to preestablished norms, on the contrary is built upon a precise analysis of the texts - more formal than thematic - and endeavours to induce its organizing rules, its distinctive features. The study includes six main parts : the general form of the works, the narrators and the narration, the actions, the time, the places, the caracters
Nadi, Selim. ""L'Europe est foutue" : fascisation et décolonisation : anticolonialisme et crainte du fascisme dans la genèse des nouvelles gauches radicales ouest-allemandes et françaises (1954-1975)." Thesis, Paris, Institut d'études politiques, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019IEPP0026.
Full textThis work aims at focusing on the entanglement between the West German and the French radical Lefts during the decolonisation process after World War II. We will study how this encounter has brought the European Left (and especially the French and West-German Lefts) to question the transformations of the post-1945 World and to participate in the birth of a New European Radical Left at the beginning of the 1970s. While the colonial tradition of Germany was not as strong as the French one, the question of fascism was at the centre of many debates within the radical Lefts. Hence, the emergence of the Third-World as a political subject, the disintegration of colonial Empires and the ongoing anti-imperialist struggles have crossed these fears of a possible fascisation. Thus, we aim at questioning the theoretical and political circulations between the French and the West-German Lefts during decolonisation in order to analyse both the birth of a wider anticolonial and anti-imperialist political consciousness but also the constitution of a New Left (in France and in West Germany) through the way in which “external” issues (colonialism) have crossed debates on internal issues (the fear of the fascisation)

Full textFrom a corpus whose particularly worked out transcript is enclosed, this study upholds the thesis that if french and german news are se different and it's almost unthinkable to transpose a model from a country to the other, it's because their ennunciative marks, whether linguistic or semiotic, belong to two radically constrasting ways of doing things. After defining its fields in the various theories of communication, semiotics and linguistics, this research - which therefore isn't an analysis of contein but an analysis of marks, pictures and language - examines the deixis (i, here, now) of the tv message. In france the text as well as the picture are utterly funneled through the annoncer's personnal point of view whereas their german colleagues are as little committed as possible. It's probably the consequence of the strict discrimination between news and commentary prevailing in germany ever since 1945. To conclude with, one can assert that the german tv news are of a referential type whereas french tv news are more like a phatic model

Full textThis study analyses news discourse in the daily news programme of ARTE, the european cultural channel, and examines the viewpoint which is constructed in it with particular reference to the transnational conditions of its production and broadcasting. The distinguishing feature of the news programme "8 1/2" is that it is produced by a french-german editorial team and is broadcast simultaneously to french and german audiences. What then are the determinants underlying the production of its discourse ? On the institutional level, arte is one of the first experiments in cooperation between public service television stations involving several nations. News is linked with the formation of public opinion, that is, with the functioning of democracy and, even now, with the public space of a nation. News discourse is therefore not rooted in an already existing european public space. On the production level, the programme results from the coming together of two journalistic cultures which have been constructed in different public spaces - even if the journalists themselves share the belief that news can be objective and that fact can be separated from comment. The programme discourse bears the marks of these contradictions. It takes the form of a series of statements from which all traces of the national determinants of its production - in particular, the national identity of the journalists and the receiving audience - have been eliminated. However, an analysis of the verbal content of the french and german versions reveals its political, cultural and historical determinants, in other words, the national bases of its production. This research suggests that news as a presentation of events can be constructed only within cultural frames of reference as shaped by history.

Full textThis doctoral research provides an extensive approach of interfirm linkages (cooperative alliances, mergers-acquisitions). It suggests the emergence of a new strategic logic and demonstrates that the national context influences the alliance behaviour of firms. The first part establishes a literature review regarding the phenomenon of interfirm links. Several theoretical and conceptual models improve the comprehension of the existence of interfirm linkages. Empirical studies on specific forms of development illustrate the importance as well as the major characteristics of alliances. The second part is dedicated to the comparison of alliance strategies of French and German companies. Based on a sample of 5 286 interfirm linkages, the empirical investigation reveals that the institutional and cultural characteristics of each country are reflected in the strategies conducted by the actors. The analysis of the dynamics of alliances shows that French and Gennan companies do not only attempt to adapt to new environmental conditions, but also to anticipate the future. In the third part, the incidence of the national context on the initial configuration of interfirm linkages is tested on a sample of alliances formed by French and German companies. The multivariate statistical analysis confirms the incidence of the national context on the alliance behaviour of firms. The observed differences in the choice of the alliance form (cooperative alliances vs. Mergers-acquisitions) show that the responses given by firms of different national origin in the same strategic situations are not systematically identical

Full textThe topic of this thesis is the translation of verb forms from German into English and French as examplified by F. Kafka's short story Die Verwandlung (The metamorphosis) and four translations of that story published in English and in French. This study is based on two hyptotheses, namely that the role of verb forms is of paramount importance in narrative texts and that verb forms function in a specific way in that kind of text. In the first part of this thesis, the possibility of comparing verb forms between the three languages considered here is established, notwithstanding the limits inherent to such comparisons. Then the notion of equivalence in translation is approached according to two complementary perspectives, the first conceptual, and the second linguistic. Finally, a specificity in the use of verb forms in narrative texts is established ; this specificity is based on a certain affinity between some of these forms and the narrative discursive mode. The second part is the study of a computerized corpus constituted along the theoretical lines presented in the first part as a data bank of the German short story and its eight translations. Data extracted from the data bank are presented and discussed, starting with the distribution of verb forms in the German text and their translations, with special emphasis on the variations that relation is susceptible to. The observations made on the English translations are complemented by a questionnaire illustrating the use of verb forms in narration. Finally, the study of such phenomena as inchoation or iteration examplifies the relation established through translations between the three languages in question, a relation that entails both close resemblance and differences. That presentation of the data bank allows a positive conclusion as to the interest for translation matters of a linguistic study on a computerized corpus

Full textFlorence Henri’s cultural identity is complex and worthy of interest. Her carrer as Europe was marked by the two World Wars. From unpublished documents, we have analysed Florence Henri’s path between Berlin (1910-1924) and Paris (1924-1962). She was born in 1893 in New York, she spent her youth on travelling in Europe. She followed most of her music training years in Berlin with Ferrucio Busoni. She had been Carl Einstein’s companion, the writer and art critic who was one of the most important promoters of the French culture in Berlin. The First World War pushed her to give up music to painting.When she arrived in Paris, F H registered for André Lhote académie and for Modern académie of Fernand Léger where she initiated herself into purism. During the summer 1927, she had a trip to Bauhaus which would turn her all career in future onto photography with an immediate, international success. Her self-portraits and the use of mirrors in her photographs are some references to the New Vision. A new change of course happened at the beginning of the Second World War with the return to painting.The relationships between French and German artists in Paris did not the political conflicts into account and the epistolary exchanges have showed solidary within artists community. She belonged to a network of exiled artists who took refuge in Paris. Until now, she has been described as a French, Swiss or American artist but our study shows the importance of the German sensitivity in her work despite her forty years spent in Paris

Full textThe work of the Swiss writer Peter Stamm is characterized by its diversity. It relies on several literary genres, including novels, plays, youth books, poetological essays and an important set of short stories. The essential themes are classical : the human relationships, love, death. The brief prose of the German-speaking writer, born in 1963, strikes the reader by its powerful effects. The stories of Peter Stamm take place in the contemporary world, in the everyday life. They are told in the terms of a mimetic aesthetic. The specular image of reality is challenged from within by a haunting network of imaginary elements. Hence, the way of things offered to see is subjected to contrary forces. They coexist. The topography in the work also testifies that opposites do coexist. The notions of here and elsewhere meet continuously. In the temporal field also, opposite conceptions or categories are put in tension: linearity and circularity of time, present moment and eternity. The category of the characters is also marked by the coexistence of very varied profiles and brings another testimony of the degree of openness of the work. The logical scheme of the paradox, associating opposites, is the major structuring element of Stamm's short stories production. The genre models of Kurzgeschichte and Novelle, theoretically incompatible, coexist in Stamm’s world. His texts contain, more generally, tangible traces of a double heritage, referring to both Romanticism and Modernity. The poetic orientation of Stamm's short stories, the way the texts go, can be grasped by exploring all these areas in friction
Chartain, Lucile. "Le cinéma allemand contemporain en France : la production de l'image d'un autre." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015USPCB208.
Full textThis PhD presents the mechanisms of the appearance of German cinema in France since 1990, from its sphere of production to its individual reception. How can contemporary German cinema support new forms of encounter with the Other for French spectators? The analysis draws on the studies of culture undertaken by the Frankfurt School, as well as on contributions from the sociology of cinema and its reception. It also builds on empirical research conducted with major stakeholders : people working in German production on the one hand, and French spectators on the other. Since 1990 the production of German cinema has undergone changes resulting in the creation of a more productive film landscape. The rise in production has led to an increased export of German cinema, notably to France. This is a contradictory development: it has admittedly allowed a diversification in the nature of movies screened, but this diversification has been based on conformist approaches, smoothing out any heterogeneity. The export and advertising of the productions has tended to support historical themes whilst German comedies have been excluded from French screens in a self-fulfilling prophecy. The reception of contemporary German cinema has then led to an active reinvestment in more or less stereotypical worldviews of the Other. The encounter with German cinema has also fluctuated between being an experience of Germany and an experience of the world. The exoticism of German cinema has been too subtle to have any direct impact on the representation of the Other. Its influence has occurred implicitly on intertwined levels: on iconographic images, societal representations, as well as meta-representations
Die Dissertation aus dem Fachbereich Soziologie stellt die Passagen des deutschen Kinos in Frankreich seit 1990 dar - von der Produktionssphäre bis hin zur individuellen Rezeption. Hierbei bedient sie sich sowohl an den Kulturstudien der Frankfurter Schule als auch an den Beiträgen der Rezeptionssoziologie. Des weiteren basiert sie auf einer empirischen Studie, die die Sichtweise von Akteuren der deutschen Produktionsbranche und französischer Konsumenten analysiert. Die zeitgenössische Produktion zeichnet sich durch diverse Mutationen aus, deren Kreuzung zu einer vielfältigeren Kinolandschaft führt. Die Entstehung einer Schnittmenge aus kommerziellem Kino und Autorenfilmen, die zu einer qualitativ hochwertigen Unterhaltung führt, basiert überwiegend auf Historienfilme mit authentischem Charakter und führt zu einem Rückschluss auf das deutsche Kino auf lokaler und internationaler Ebene. Der Export der Filme, die durchaus als Kulturgut wahrgenommen werden, trägt zu einer polarisierten Sichtweise bei. Das deutsche Kino wird aus der Sicht französischer Händler neu bewertet, bedient sich jedoch dabei einer sehr konformistischen Art und Weise, die dazu neigt, sich an historischen Filmen zu bedienen und deutsche Komödien auszugrenzen. Dies führt dazu, dass der französische Zuschauer, von seinem Nachbarn, qualitativ hochwertige Historienfilme erwartet. Diese Kategorisierung von Deutschtum in Filmen führt zu einer Art Stereotypisierung im Hinblick auf den Anderen. Diese Rezeption fördert wiederum die Materalisierung abstrakter Phänomene, die an einer generalisierten Erfahrung des Andersseins bezüglich Deutschtum und Universalität anknüpft

Full textThis dissertation focuses on a tight content analysis of Notre Temps (1927-1940). The journal then held a key position within the "realistic" pole among the up-and-coming generation of the thirties. It took part in many debates during the inter-war period, including those on the State reform, the support for the League of Nations, the Franco-German relations, and the European project in the wake of Aristide Briand. The underlying pacifism of the the journal shows multiple facets. Whether ideological, legal or circumstantial, this attitude gives rise to divergent interpretations.The dissertation also follows the life course of Jean Luchaire, the journal's director, before and after the existence of the periodical. It also discusses the shared perceptions of many intellectuals in the immediate post-war period, namely from 1919. The latter contribute to the birth of an editorial endeavor which intended to represent the "new generation"
Campigotto, Marie. "« L'art des yeux ouverts » : le cinéma, avènement d'une nouvelle culture dans les écrits de Béla Balázs." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCA161.
Full textNowadays, the name of Béla Balázs is above all else associated with the onsets of the theorization of the Cinema. The present work is the fruit of a will to translate his writings in a perspective that is wider than the one of Cinema. The analysis of Balázs's thoughts on movie-making in a particular context, in terms of history of ideas, enables one to identify the prism through which he tackled this art altogether. In a search for a cultural renewal that lead him to Communism, he always thought out of Cinema as of what it meant for mankind. Shaped by Georg Simmel's observation of a cultural crisis, and Henri Bergson's thoughts about perception, Balázs supported the idea that cinema set the individuals free from the negative consequences of modernization which could hinder their personal fulfillment. In a world that is more and more mechanic and meaningless, films stand as a chance to reclaim a technique and set a new culture in motion. The Man detaches himself from telling and resumes through showing. Cinema displays a world that is anthropomorphic and three major techniques help it achieve its cultural and artistic potential: the close-up, framing, and editing. And their effect is not limited to the projection room, since they mark the debut of a change in perception, and make the Man learn to see again. This study is primarily based on Balázs's works on cinema such as The Visible Man (1924), The Spirit of Film (1930) and Theory of Art (1948), but also takes into account his literary works, in which issues tied to culture and perception are central

Full text25 years have passed since the fall of the Berlin wall. However, the way to an « inner union » –praised by Helmut Kohl in 1997 –is still long. Mystification and standardisation shape the normative and medial discourse. The time seems to have come to search for new paradigmata, which this thesis wants to achieve. With the help of an innovative qualitative methodological approach, this study suggests a new perspective on questions of identity and socialisation. It is based on the analysis of biography-oriented photo-interviews with the documentary method. The examination of how former GDR citizens deal with their photographs of the past, aims at exploring how they « habitually » (referring to the concept of habitus) deal with personal and social identity as well as with normative expectations. The goal of the study is to examine underlying structures of knowledge that guide the interaction and thus the construction of Self-Identity. This project was to observe if signs of identity work can be found and, if yes, which factors are decisive. The study of the private photographs and their reception finally demonstrates that individuals are « equipped » with habitual resources that determine their way of constructing identity. These resources strongly depend on experiences with recognition, which have partially been made by these individuals in the primary environment, such as in the family or amongst peers. Furthermore, the experience of « social disintegration » has a prominent part to play. It can be seen that disruptions, in the context of the Reunification, primarily depend on changes on an individual and social level, and not on a systemic one
Joyeux, Arthur. "Le principe de subsidiarité, entre terminologie et discours : pistes pour une nouvelle histoire de la formule." Thesis, Besançon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BESA1013/document.
Full textThe PhD is the result of a research carried out in the sciences of language: lexicology, lexical semantics and discourse analysis. It is based on the primary sources of European Union law, the doctrinal sources of the Church's Social Doctrine and the corpus of German legal doctrinal texts, as well as a rereading of philosophical sources: Aristotelianism, Thomism, Kantism and romanticism.It is generally argued by European legal doctrine (in France, MILLON-DELSOL, 1991, CONSTANTINESCO, 1991) that the principle of subsidiarity, a rule of positive European law (Maastricht Treaty - 1993) defined in Article 3B), would initially have been theorized by the Social Doctrine of the Church in the 20th century (Pius XI, Quadragesimo Anno, 1931). The "directive" rule (CORNU, Legal Vocabulary, 2015), however, would have been relieved of its problematic philosophical and theological position in order to resemble a procedural rule. On the linguistic level, the French form subsidiarity would be a francized loan of the German neologism Subsidiarität.The PhD focuses on the inconsistencies of the linguistic hypotheses related to the connection of this notion and its linguistic form (subsidiarity, substantivation of the adjective subsidiary (relief, reinforcement of an element lower than a superior thing, initially in a Latin military context), as well as its attachment to philosophical and theological sources, in particular Thomists and personalists.A search for the Latin etymon and the German occurrence (Subsidiarität) tends to show that the subsidiarity form originally designates the Roman law (subsidiäres Recht), a regular occurrence of German legal doctrine throughout the 19th century. The PhD therefore presents the results of a retrieval and collection of a corpus of occurrences of subsidäre (Recht/Staat, Subsidiarität, Subsidiarität der Staat, Subsidiär-Prinzip, Subsidiaritätsprinzip, Grundsatz der Subsidiarität, Prinzip der Subsidiarität) in the works of the German legal science, especially among the members of the Historical School of Law (FK VON SAVIGNY) and the first formalists (Paul LABAND, Georg JELLINEK) and German thinkers of the Rule of Law VON MOHL, Julius VON STAHL).The work discusses this occurrence as a discursive formula, that is to say a German political slogan, which is diffused in the legal science and in the works of the historical school of economics, throughout the 19th century. Initially, it is a historicist slogan, advanced by Savigny in the Quarrel of the codification which crosses the German states of the Old Germanic Roman Empire, starting from the Congress of Vienna (1814). The occurrence (adjectival and adverbial) is subsequently disseminated and becomes a motive of the social law state (especially from R. VON MOHL, 1829), becomes substantive, becomes a legal principle (relations legal orders Regional and federal), then penetrates the economic terminology (Subsidiary State, subsidiary duty of the State in assisting the poor). His motive conditioned the vote of the first laws called "social" under Otto von Bismarck.The PhD attempts to demonstrate that the pontifical occurrence of 1931 is a late borrowing from these different theoretical and doctrinal sources and not a Catholic neologism

Full textThe entire point of our work is to give back the complexity of the relations between Franz Rosenzweig, his work, The "Star of Redemption", and his readership. The "Star of Redemption" is known as a difficult book, whose language is as many conceptual as literary. But the very difficulty of the Rosenzweig's thought in The "Star" is to keep in bound the dialogical dimension,which is participating to a lively existence through the letters he wrote to his friends -, and the textual dimension, which tend to be a world in itself - a book is something that is self-sufficient. Can we be satisfied by the idea that The Star is only a transition between two states: between a philosophical point of view – where is no hope – and a revealed one – where is hope and orientation? The Star is more as simply a transition. Rosenzweig speaks also of a Threshold and a Gate. With these two terms a tension inhabits The "Star" between a revealed life which begins inside the book and a revealed life which begins outside the book. Author, work and readership will have a significant role to play in this problem

Full textJan Tschichold (1902-1974), typographer and theorist of typography, is famous for the break that divides its work into two apparently irreconcilable corpora in the traditional categories of art history: modernism and traditionalism. In the 1920s, he is in Germany, one of the “New Typography” advocates, avant-garde design discipline particularly influenced by the Bauhaus. After immigrating to Switzerland (after the Nazis came to power), he became from the late 1930s, a scholar of the history of printing, replacing the traditional form of the book at the center of its concerns. How to explain this failure? We propose to answer this question by offsetting our view of Tschichold design work to focus on practices of reading and writing. This allows considering its work like a professional forced to adapt a craft to mechanization and automation, stepping out with the legend of the avant-gardist artist who is propagated by many books on the history of graphic design. By superimposing on the conceptual tools of art history, the analysis grids of the historians of book and printing, of the industrial revolution or the tolls of sociologists, we try to bring new elements of understanding, not only for Tschicholds career, but also the “artistic” movement of the New Typography. More generally, our work questions the notions of “typography” and "typographer" and the relationship between typography, graphic and advertising design, painting, photography and architecture in the twentieth century

Full textThis master’s thesis analyzes the dynamics between the German Democratic Republic and its citizens through complaint letters that East Germans sent to the State between 1953 and 1967 regarding housing problems. It argues that the complainants adopted “socialist values” throughout their discourses as a way of justifying the legitimacy of their complaints. In other words, they used the discourse and principles of the state against it in order to demand action and a resolution to their problems or concerns. This thesis not only highlight these various strategies, utilizing a “history from below” approach, but it also investigates the state’s reaction to the complaints of its citizens. It argues that the state responded overall better in the 1960s as it did in the 1950s, showing evolution in the relationship between state and society as well as a shift in the state’s way to understand socialism. By the 1960s the East German government had had time to slowly adapt its domestic politics towards the population’s needs. The analysis of these letters is at the crossroads of two methods: First I employ a discursive analysis that allows me to identify the recurring strategies by which the state and its citizens sought to influence each other. Second, I use a statistical analysis of the State’s responses coupled with an examination of domestic politics that allows me to capture the changing attitude of the government towards its population.
