Sapowicz, Philippe. "Carl Gustav Jung et la pensée indienne." Thesis, Paris 4, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA040150.
Full textThe purpose of our thesis is to bring to light the various contributions of Indianphilosophies that have influenced the works of Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961).Oriental sources, and Indian classical philosophies in particular, found asignificant echo in Jung's thought. The Swiss psychiatrist takes a look at Indianspirituality that is at once critical and admiring, taking into account thecomplexities of the Indian philosophical world. Our questions will revolvearound Jung's method of interpretation of Indian texts from a psychoanalyticalperspective, showing in the process the closeness of Indian soteriologies and ofBuddhism to the Western healing practices of the soul

Full textWhy were the Indian doctrines, considered to be philosophical when European orientalists were learning Sanskrit at the end of the XIIIth and at the beginning of the XIXth centuries, later left out of the philosophical arena? It gradually transpired that the particular moment when Buddhism was discovered and the development of a philosophical interpretation of its “nihilism” were an essential factor in this shelving of the Indian domain. Thus it was important to bring out certain specific features of the discovery of Buddhism by the European orientalists and a systematic analysis of the characteristics of the interpretation of Buddhism by German philosophers (from Hegel to Nietzsche) and French philosophers (from Cousin to Renouvier). The result of this research have been described in two works : L'oubli de l'Inde, une amnesie philosophique. (Forgetting India : a case of philosophical amnesia), Paris, Presses universitaires de France, 1989, and a new, revised edition : Paris, le livre de poche, biblio-essais, 1992, 254 p. , et Le culte du néant (The cult of nothingness) Paris, editions du Seuil, 1997, 368 p. , as well as in several articles published between 1987 and 1997. The main conclusion is that the multi-layered notion of “nihilism”, essential to contemporary thought, was gradually reassessed through the discovery of a disconcerting “religion”, its various elements were rearranged and its different levels of meaning were given a new philosophical interpretation. The philosophical variations on Buddhism and the various forms of the “cult of nothingness” attributed to it can and should be considered as an unnoticed laboratory of European thought experimenting on the limits of its own identity

Full textThis comparative study of french and english exile novels, written by the descendants of the indian indentures of the west indies, in search of their identity and their indianity, brings out some constants, such as the ravages of colonialism, its physical and psychological consequences, and the uneasiness felt in a plural and the island society of the west indies. The indian caught up between the blacks and whites, the ex-masters and slaves, only wants to get away, or mimic the whites representing superiority and materialism, when forced to stay. As for the writers in french, they consider the markers of indianity as a stronghold for indianity and describe the indian from the ethnological point of view. V. S. Naipaul, writing in english, destroys all these markers and refuses to let the indian be caught up in the security of indianity or in the dharma, which only will make him a passive fatalist, a mimic man begging to be colonised. Naipaul also tries to tie up hindou and literary principles. From the emptiness prevalent in his first novel, he reincarnates himself through his caracters and breaks away from all the protective layers of national, social, cultural, religious and racial identities, until he finds his inner-self and becomes more individual. Whereas the french writers hope for a harmonious synthesis of different cultures in a modern and plastic world

Full textIn order to temperate the equivocity of the greek word " sophia ", which designates the plain cleverness of the riddle-decipherer so as the universal knowledge based on the highest reality, we suggerate to read again the grounding texts of philosophy according to a new method: the indo-european comparatism. This method has already shown his systematizing power in grammar and mythology. India, because having elevated, on his own side, the true speech to the rank of spiritual excellency, has got a priviledged place in this comparison. For example, the famous Plato's “theory of ideas”, true center of the greek wisdom, appears now deductible from the very old contrast between the language of god's and the language of men, contrast wich has been instituated notably by the vedic poets and which is present in most of indo-european cultures. So the rivality between the sophists, as champions of speech, and the platonic quest of the essence of each thing, is softening. And the trace of common filiation of these two antagonist interpretations of wisdom lies in the fact that both swear allegiance to the Eleusinian mysteries of immortality, each pretending to be their one legitimate heir. These rites, that are supposed to bring a man to his own perfection along an inner path, are the most probable relay from which Plato has got the bases of his ontology opposing the default of the sensible and the perfection of the intelligible: this ontology is quite near of the Veda mode of being, and the Veda describes a lot of rituals or myths which analogous mysteries

Full textThe advent of a new military regime in Burma in 1988 changed the geopolitical configuration of the country. By getting closer to China, sole power embracing the new junta and opposing its diplomatic isolation, Burma chose to abandoned its traditional neutral position between India, China and the rest of Asia. Fearing a potential threat at its doorstep, India began to review its Burma policy and to establish a strategic partnership with the Burmese military regime so as to counterweight China and its thrust towards the Indian Ocean. By entering the game, India created the conditions of the birth of a rivalry between the two giants in Burma. Given the youth of the phenomenon, the theoretical approach of proto-rivalries configurations is the best suited. However, Burma offers many resistances to the recent Indian and Chinese expansion through its own territory. Strong and historical nationalist and xenophobic tendencies towards Indian and Chinese minorities in Burma, divisions and frustrations among India and China’s elite regarding the conduct of their own Burmese policy as well as the new management of the global sino-indian rivalry are as so many potential obstacles to the development of a an enduring rivalry between India and China around the Burmese issue

Full textThe subject of this thesis is the influence of india and of the india doctrine of advaita vedanta on the life and works of the british writer paul brunton (1898-1981), spiritual seeker, author of eleven books and of posthumous notebooks. The first part deals with the author's youth and with his experience in india between 1930 and 1947 (meetings with ramana maharshi, the maharaja of mysore and pandit subrahmanya iyer). The second part deals with the doctrine of mentalism and brunton's notions of world-mind, mind and overself. Mentalism (a non dualistic kind of idealism) is a modern and rational way of interpreting non dualistic vedanta, whose traditional formulation is theological and dogmatic. The concept of overself is a transposition of the old indian concept of atman into a soteriological notion for modern wersterners. This reinterpretation is probably the condition for a possible acculturation of indian vedanta in the christian west. This author, who tries to reconcile scientific modernity with mystical tradition, has been a pionneering exponent of east-west culture in this century

Full textThis research focuses on the psychoanalytic practice today in Delhi. We outline the long history of Indian psychoanalysis and then we try to describe the various forms taken by the psychoanalytic practice in the Indian context in order to understand how these forms relate to the social tensions that surround the increasing appeal of individualistic values in the Middle Class of Delhi. Basing ourselves on interviews with about fourty therapists and patients and on participant observation in the psychoanalytic circles of Delhi, we show that the growing number of psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in Indian large cities is due to the far-reaching changes that have occurred in the Indian society since economic and social liberalization in the 1990s. The rich and detailed description of three women's life stories (one psychoanalyst and two patients) enables us to understand better how these changes have an impact on the subjective transformations of specific individuals. This work has two sides, intricately linked between themselves: on the one hand, I take the therapist's private practice as a place where people negotiate, give form and meaning to the social changes that are happening; on the other hand, I describe the way the social structures and collective perceptions of the Indian society shape the specificities of Indian therapy

Full textMost ofthe experts agree to write that the Indian immigrants' contribution in the Caribbean French colonies has been a benefit on the whole in the economy ofthe welcoming countries. Indeed, these years of immigration have contributed to the improvement ofthe sugar cane culture an by extension to the increase of the sugar production. Nevertheless, the planters have used the engaged Indians to break up the legitimate claiming ofthe freed slaves. Today, the Indian participation to the Martinican, Guadeloupian and Guyanese economical development has kept on increasing contributing to the promotion ofnew generations. Conscuenthy, these Indians worked descents play an important part in the economical activity oftheir region mainly in the agricultural and transport fields. The effect ofthis social evolution is the increasing number ofthe workforce in the civil service, the marketing services and the liberal professions. The urbanization of people from India is original. The professional diversification has provoked a sharp improvement ofthe living environment, what corresponds to a remarkable increase on the west Indian socioeconomical scale. However, in spite ofa success full integration, these men have jealously conserved the elements oftheir cultural heritage, which testify their difference within the Indian and Guyanese melting-pot. The different rites, mainly tamij constitute an enrichment ofour plural society, locking for identity. The question ofthe renewal ofthe hindu religions practices in creoles lands is legitimate. The Indian social evolution and the fact that they acquired new knowledge naturally participate to the promotion ofthat millennial philosophy. As a conclusion, we may say that engaged Indians descents' contribution to the creoles society identification i undeniable

Full textThe nineteenth century was a new literary one in which the authors recreated the human race under a reflection of indian mythology. I was also a new discovery of humanity in french literature. Making clear the fundamental origin of indian mythological theme was the purpose of the work in french literature at that time. People ascertained the vast scope of understanding the poets by means of investigating the origin of the words and the themes unknown in the century. According to the six of authors chosen, the definition of indian myths is understanding the value of the creation of the human race. For lifting up the mysterions veils from indian faces, we have to not only approache the mythological source in relation to etymological and thematic origin in their every originality with each authors view.

Full text@What is the image of Indian women that emerges in these writings? What are the literary techniques exploited by the writers to discuss the issues related to the status of women? By fusing an Indocentric methodology with Western approaches to narratology the thesis shows that the novels, selected on the basis of gender rather than their feminist concerns, reveal, through the use of allegory and myth, how centuries of patriarchal dominance in Indian women's lives are being challenged by women in the post-colonial era. The writers create new myths to replace male-oriented ones by narrating them from a woman's viewpoint. The protagonists of the novels reverse the position of power as they break out of the myth of the Sita-mould. A significant difference between the Indian and Western feminsit emerges : while the novels' Western-educated, middle-class protagonists are willing to negociate their liberation from the hold of tradition, they are unwilling to break the Indian social continuum in their quest for indivuation. The three sections of the thesis, order, disorder and reorder, reflect the upward spiral that gathers momentum in the progress that the female characters make in moving beyond the threshold of marginalizing limitations. The subsequent instability as they explore hitherto out-of-bound spaces becomes the impetus that deconstructs the stability within patriarchal norms

Full textThis research endeavours to make up for the lack of visibility and of academic attention given to contemporary Indian poetry in France. It is a comparative study between Indian poetry in English, focusing on the works of Arun Kolatkar (1932-2004) and Keki Daruwalla (born in 1937) and Indian poetry in Hindi, focusing on the works of Gagajan Madhav Muktibodh (1917-1964) and Kedarnath Singh (born in 1934). Their works illustrate the evolution of Indian poetry from a transitive protestpoetry, to a more indirect dissidence, which keeps away from ideology and from the pressure of outside events. These four poets respond to the dislocation and the fragmentation of the Indian cultural, political and social field in the middle of the twentieth century by giving shape to a « poetics of relation », to borrow a term from Edouard Glissant, which expresses the idea that without the other there is no language for the self. They claim a hybrid heritage, that of the immediate impact of modernity, but also that of a plural and often heterodox « non-literate sub-continent ». They challenge the purity and the closure of the monolithic text, by asserting overlapping, reflexive, dialogic identities and by creating an intertextual, multilingual fabric for their poetry. These plural belongings and plural identities subvert any kind of exclusive understanding of language, of meaning, of the sacred, of the past or of identity. The emphasis is on the conversion of the act of seeing, on revealing rather than on loudly demonstrating, and this poetic conversion is fundamentally political

Full textContemporary Indian literature and cinema are part of a dynamic that goes hand in hand with the profound socio-economic changes that have affected India since the end of the nineteen eighties. Indeed, many novels and films are characterized by a freedom of expression that touches on many subjects that were once considered taboo. The wind of renewal sweeping India is also marked by the increase in the number of writers and directors who place women at the heart of their stories and intrigues. Thus, the objective of this study is to show, on the one hand, how the image of the passive and submissive Indian woman was constructed during the long process of colonization, on the other hand, how contemporary literature and cinema attempt to rehabilitate the place of women in history in order to build a new and dynamic representation which symbolizes the Indian woman of the 2000s. The respective novels of Anita Nair and Githa Hariharan, Ladies' Compartment and The Thousand Faces of the Night, as well as the films Fire, Water by Deepa Mehta as well as The Marriage of the monsoons by Mira Nair are part of a resistance movement. where the agency of the heroines testifies to the will and the difficulty of freeing oneself from three centuries of marginalization.In the first part, we propose to walk through the history, that which attributed to the man capacities superior to those of the woman, conferring upon him by extension an authority, a power of domination. This historical and sociological approach allows us to understand how the links which unite the human and the divine in India were built. Our gaze will also focus on the consequent upheavals engendered by British colonization. This period of Indian history will be analyzed in order to highlight the modus operandi by which the British Empire succeeded in imposing a lifestyle faithful to its vision of the world while excluding women from decision-making spheres in order to "consign" them in the domestic space.The second part of the thesis analyzes the family space, which has become the place par excellence for the reproduction of androcentric postulates. This private space will be closely observed and we will engage in an approach that combines psychoanalysis and sociology in order to demonstrate the importance of the construction of the feminine in the process of identity deconstruction. We will pay particular attention to the role played by the mother in the reproductive process. The ambivalent position it occupies often leads to a fragmentation between the physical being, the social being and the psychic being. The psyche then becomes a space inhabited by doubt and fear while being the ultimate refuge of comfort. This shift between body and mind will take us to the field of psychosomatics, where dreams are the privileged place for psychic reconstruction. We will also observe the strategies used by novelists and filmmakers to begin the process of rebuilding the identity of their heroines.The third part focuses on cinema and literature through their complementarity. First, we will retrace the history of cinema from the sidelines and highlight its committed character that sets it apart from some popular cinemas such as Bollywood. Subsequently, we make a connection between the novel and its adaptation to the cinema in order to highlight the complementarity of the works as well as the notion of solidarity which represents an essential point in this collaborative work. Indeed, diaspora filmmakers Deepa Mehta and Mira Nair have developed an activist and united approach that can be found both in the writing of the script and in the choice of actors and actresses. This activism will be illustrated by examples that highlight the many instances of agency staged in order to build a dynamic image of women in India

Full textAs the 19e century in the french literature coincide with the orientalism, the romantiques and the parnassiens are among the first groups of writers to get in direct touch with the work of the indianists. Alfred de vigny found, in indian spiritualism, the idea of the ascension of spirit and the "silence" of the buddha. Victor hugo was interested in the indian exotisme, and in hindu aspects that the public. Lamartine and michelet try to find confirmations of their prejudice in favour of romantic thoughts. Leconte de lisle and jean lahor were tempted by the doctrine of nothingness, that they thought taught by the buddha. In sum, we can say that india had an important influence on french literature of 19e century, although her religion and philosophie were oftenly incorrectly interpreted by the authors, who used them to serve their ideas or feelings
Guilhamon, Lise. "Poétiques de la langue autre dans le roman indien d'expression anglaise." Rennes 2, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007REN20040.
Full textIndian English novelists frequently call attention, within their fiction, to the relation of otherness that links them to the language of their creative work. These authors write in a language inherited from the colonial process, and with a heterogeneous audience in view, whose references are further complicated by the contemporary phenomena of diaspora, migration and globalisation. This is why these novelists place at the heart of their literary creation the deeply intertwined questions of the Other's tongue, and of the other tongue. The question of the « other tongue » in the Indian English novel has given rise to several critical studies, but it has practically never been examined from the point of view of its poetic specificity: this is precisely what this work sets out to do. Indian English fiction examines the modalities of literary creation: in particular, it investigates the way in which literature invents language, and it explores the idea of literature as alterity at work within language

Full textAn original study on the indian notion of Samskara, the like of which is not found in western languages. The author, an indian, accustomed to western methods, was struck by the contrast between the way this word is used in daily hindu life and in buddhist literature. Her investigation goes back first to the ritual use of the verbs samskr-, abhisamskr- in the brahmana (s), then of the noun samskara in the dharma- and grhya- sutra (s), where she lists seven main functions of Samskara (s) as "sacraments". In a IInd part devoted to the literature of ancient buddhism and mahayana, the author points out a complete reversal of values: Samskara (s), far from being improvements, are imprisonments. The IIIrd part is a study of the evolution of Samskara (s) in some darsana (s). The vaisesika is quite worthwhile to achieve a keen conceptualization. This one involves multivocity without any equivocity. Regarding the Advaita-Vedanta with special reference to Sankara, the point at issue is : to what extent is there a connection or not between rituals and gnosis. In classical samkhya the theory of "dispositions" takes place under the name of the three guna (s) with respect to primal nature and more precisely of the eight bhava (s) with respect to human nature

Full textThis thesis is an intergenerational study of how and for what purposes French citizens of Malayali origin (from Kerala in south-west India) remember, identify and engage with their ancestral Houses in Kerala known as Tharavads. The memories of and actions taken towards Houses in Kerala are explored principally through multi-site ethnographic research of French citizens of Malayali origin in Île-de-France and French citizens living in Mahe, part of the Union Territory of Puducherry, South India, as well as other towns in Kerala. The work presented here is thus a reflection on the relation between memory and kinship through recollections of ancestral Houses. It also examines what occurs, consequently, in the absence of transmission of cultural memory from one generation to another. There are diverse actions taken by members of the Malayali diaspora and French citizens of Malayali origin toward enabling environments of Malayali identity, culture and Tharavad narrative for their children – actions which are significant for imparting Tharavad knowledge and history to the younger generation. A central point in this thesis is whether, how and why dispersed individuals and families of Malayali origin living in France renew their kinship links to one or several Tharavads. This thesis also examines what the Tharavad means for Tharavad members or descendants who grew up in and around these ancestral Houses, as well as the relevance of the Tharavad today

Full textThe study of Nietzsche’s works, published books, Nachlass and correspondence, evidence that, throughout his productive period, Nietzsche’s thoughts were inspired by analyses linked to brahmanical Indian civilization. Nietzsche’s interest in India was multi-faceted, insofar as he chose to use his Indian sources in various contexts, ones that the present work shall delimit. Nietzsche was interested in India, first, as a society that nominates the priests as the heads of a hierarchic civilisation. He was interested, secondly, in Vedânta philosophy, a path he saw as a means to redemption in its overcoming of moral dualism, elements in which he incorporated into his own philosophy in his attempts to overcome European Nihilism. In both approaches Nietzsche tried to establish the long-term effects of the values and beliefs of this civilisation upon the human condition. To these two major aspects of Nietzsche’s interest in India are added other elements that make it possible to inscribe brahmanical India within a typology of cultures that was central to Nietzsche’s project. As is argued throughout this work, India and India culture resonate not only with the more critical aspects of Nietzsche’s philosophy, but were, in fact, part of the positive and more constructive aspects of Nietzsche’s thought and, in particular, his will to to elaborate favourable conditions for the elevation of man

Full textThe present thesis examines connections between the construction of national identity in Chile and representations of indigenous peoples in school textbooks in history, geography and reading. The period we study begins with the Constitution of 1833 and the recognition of the state's responsibility for the development of public primary education. It ends with the Constitution of 1925, which established compulsory primary education. For nearly a century, the elites tried to elaborate and transmit national values and myths to students through which they would develop nationalist sentiment. We create an understanding of how the perception of indigenous peoples was instrumentalized in that process and –successively or simultaneously- reivindicated, distanced or silenced, depending on periods, political convictions and elite interests. We begin our study by defining the main concepts of our research. The second part is more methodological: it deals with historiography, problematic and sources. Then we will analyze the documents in a quantitative and qualitative way in order to propose a periodization for the representations of indigenous peoples conveyed by textbooks.

Full textFar from having the negative vision that many critics reproach her with, Anita Desai endows her works with a more positive philosophy than one might think at first. Although it is true that her novels are based upon a fragmented and chaotic world which alienates the individual, this thesis nevertheless sets to prove that out of chaos and the desperate quest of the characters, there always emerges a unified and quasi-divine vision of the world -a macroscopic vision which, though short-lived, enables one to have an overall view of all the fragments that make up her world and thus to be able to appreciate its beauty and raison d'être through harmonies, parallelisms, contrasts and counterpoints. The apparent chaos in Anita Desai's novels is conveyed, among other things, by devices borrowed from other literary genres -theatre and poetry especially- and by a multiplicity of languages, wether western or eastern, which led us to draw a parallel with Anita Desai herself, on account of both her western and eastern origins, and her multilingualism. In our quest for the multiform and multicoloured unity that makes up Anita Desai's world, we studied the different facets of that seemingly fragmented universe, as well as the various devices which account for the writers' philosophy, bringing to the forefront Anita Desai's use of symbolism, an essential element in her writing by which means she conveys her vision of the world

Full textThis dissertation deals with R. K. Narayan's novels that are between two civilizations. His work, which reflects the social and cultural aspects of India, is also cross-fertilized because of the use of the English language. However, further analysis shows that the malgudian novels implicitly reject British culture and put the emphasis on the past and on Vedic thought. The aesthetics of these novels match this aspect: R. K. Narayan's narrative techniques are rooted in the field of rasa theory which emphasizes reader's participation and empathy. This explains why it seems logical to use the tools of the modem reception theory to study his work since its tenets are very similar to rasa. Thus we can see that the cross-fertilization can also take place during the reading process which enables every reader to discover and appreciate an exogenous culture

Full textWhile leaving India, women run away from a system that opresses them, a system that denies there humanity,a system linked to a sacred text called The laws of Manou. Meanwhile, by emigrating, Indian women managed toemancipate and assert themselves beyond the religious codes that denied their existences, that confined them to aservile role, that educated them to be only a « good wife », a sati. But this experience of emigration isquestionning this patriarcal hinduism to build a matriarcal hinduism more bound to valorise gender and socialclass equality. This experience of uprooting, this loss of memory, this colonial immersion, allows Indian womento handle their destiny. Yet is emerging the figure of the « warrior woman, the shakti woman, the actionwoman » who is no more confined to be only a mother or a spouse, but a woman who acts, who fights, a womanwho takes the goddesses she adores, representative of the figure of the warrior woman, as a model. An artisticalprocess is emerging from this migratory fact, a process based on the identification of those women with mother'sgoddesses, a process that can be concieved as a mimesis, because it is lying upon the mythologies of archaicalhindu goddesses known under the name of shakti. This mimetical process allows Indian women to break freefrom the voices of oppression, from this patriarcal tragedy. This Indo-Guadeloupean figure of the XIXth centurycan be affiliated to its intimate otherness : the contemporary voices of Indian women. These women advocate arevolution, denounce a patriarcal hegemony that shall not survive in this world of « globalism ». Those femalevoices encourage female initiatives to fight to hold back this system that denies their existences especially incontemporary rural India.”

Full textPolitical events taking place in india in the thirties directly affect the works of indian novelists writing in english. These are the years when m. R. Anand, raja rao and r. K. Narayan publish their first novels. Today, it would seem that these novels, acclaimed at the time of publication as the first unbiased descriptions of india were exponents of the authors' political convictions. The presentation of each of the theree novelists, of the indoanglian literary movement and of the socio-political context of the day is followed by three main parts dealing with the literary presentation of the english in india, of the indian themselves and of the literary contribution of the novels under study to the revolutionary movement. It is shown in the conclusion that the seven novels studied in this work bear witness to the spirit of the time more than they prove the literary innovations they have too long been regarded as

Full textThis thesis studies how the Indian writer in English “by experimenting with traditional narrative forms” and “by choosing modes that are unconformable to the European episteme” indulges in counterrealistic writing that defies traditional national, linguistic or generic classifications. Through the three phases of “figuration,” “configuration” and “reconfiguration,” the research aims at studying the counterrealistic artifice in the works of diasporic authors – Salman Rushdie and Suniti Namjoshi – as well as the non-diasporic fiction of Namita Gokhale who writes in English, and Tamil writing in English translation in the works of R. Krishnamurthy (Kalki) and C. S. Lakshmi (Ambai). The intermingling of ancient Eastern and Western figurations of myths, fables, legends and folklore, the dual configuration of Eastern and Western world views and the postmodern recycling of old narratives to suit the changing times reveal how postcolonial writers renew the spirit of the culture, revitalise language, renew literature and reconfigure inherited configurations by reframing other frames of reference. By deconstructing the grand narrative of Western history through an interrogation of its tropes and its content, the counterrealists structure a re-imagined mode of representation that encompasses both the historical past and the postcolonial present

Full textAt the crossroads of research on development conditions, development aid and comparative policies, this dissertation explores the comparative dimension of development aid policies towards West Africa taking the case of China, India and Japan between 1997 and 2010. Indeed, although these three countries belong to the same geographical zone, they are very different as regards to economic resources, political situation, national concerns and historical context. Based on the forty-eight reports of ministries and governmental agencies of China, India and Japan, almost eight hundred literatures, 73 interviews with researchers, experts in administrations and industries in five countries, the dissertation analyzes the observable differences in development aid policies carried out by these countries. The research seeks to understand whether each country’ specificities determine their development aid strategy. Beyond the technical issues (organisational system, delivery system, aid destination) specific to the three policies, the research compares motivations which encourage to offer development assistance to West Africa. The research marks the very first comparison of Asian aid policies

Full textThis dissertation is a detailed analysis of ten contemporary Anglophone novels by women writers from India and Pakistan. It explores and evaluates the politics as well as the poetics of the literary depiction of cross-class love and friendship in Anglophone literature of the Indian sub-continent, which is often considered ‘elitist'. The figure of the subaltern lies at the heart of our study and by focusing on the portrayal of the negotiation of class, caste and gender identities in the Indian sub-continent, this dissertation moves away from postcolonial studies' customary focus on the notion of hybridity, often conceived solely in East/West or North/South terms. The texts examined reveal not only the tenuousness of cross-class relationships but also underscore their subversive possibilities. The ethical ramifications of questions of form are also explored as are the ways in which the poetics of a text can both confirm and contradict its politics

Full textAfter the independency of India in 1947, the Prime Minister Nehru promoted a wide planning to modernize the territory, where he anticipated about fifty new towns. For the new state of Punjab, the ambition was to build a capital, as a symbol of this policy. The Le Corbusier's urban project for Chandigarh is based on a previous planning designed by the architects Albert Mayer and Matthew Nowicki; it belongs to the international discussion about the architectural production inspired by the « New Regionalism ». For the realization of the plan at the scale of the city we assume that Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew, helped by Indian engineers, will set a range of tools to allow the formerly realisation. One of the topics of this thesis is to understand the temporal categories used by the architects for the creation of the new town. We will try to estimate how Chandigarh has been decided since the origin as an open project. How is the position of the architects in charge of its design in relationship with the time's issues? What sort 0 external contributions are part of this way of thinking the city, particularly from Albert Mayer, Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew? How the Le Corbusier buildings projects, realized or not, are the fragments of thinking the city? ln order to answer to such questions, we will work essentially on the architect's letters, sketches notebooks conserved in The Le Corbusier Foundation and on its numeric DVD recently published plans. A great part of the analysis has been produced right on the sit at the bottom of the buildings
