Full textThe works of Verlaine have constituted the object of numerous literary studies. The aim of this project is to study Verlaine’s imagery from a stylistic viewpoint, in order to demonstrate the originality of the poet's aesthetic concept. The use of figurative diction allows for expressive evaluations based on dominant forms of verlainian imagery. The thematic classification reveals the major poles of the poet's universe. The study of imagery is centered around the way figures are produced and their function, as well as on the evoked values of connotation. At the same time, an effort is made to manifest the evolution of the aesthetic dimension of images across Verlaine’s poetic collections and their variants in each of the collections individually. The parallel confrontation with the imagery created by other poets belonging to the same group as Verlaine is aimed towards a demonstration of the particularity of the poet's language within the constellation of symbolism. Its self-proposed target is to bring to light the common affinities and nuances uniting all symbolists in their desire to create corresponding links between the "sensible" universe and the human soul. After a theoretical approach of the "poetic image", the figures are categorized into different domains, according to their "sensible" aspect, concrete or abstract. First are studied the "sensible" elements of the terrestrial, aerial, cosmic, liquid or luminous domains, then the human forms and finally the abstract realities

Full textThe Renaissance and Baroque ages inherited a rich theoretical tradition of metaphoric thought : a tradition both rethorical and spiritual which, from Aristotle to Tesauro, taking in the Church Fathers, tends to consider the trope not only as an distinguished embellishment, but also as a tool for freeing thought to a ‘’ higher meaning ‘’. Far from confining it within the strict use of ornatus, the religious poets of the Baroque age, puffed up with biblical culture, use the metaphor as a favourite instrument for deciphering the Bible and christian mysteries but also as an aid for teaching and emotion, capable of assisting the « devout » reader in his meditation. This peculiar metaphoric writing does not exist without some contradictory aspects : both medieval and baroque in its inspiration, excessive and controlled, educational and ingenious, weak and substantial, it illustrates the contradictory status of image in a spiritual context. This study intends to take in various approaches, both theoretical and practical, in order to define the outlines of the poetic in baroque religious metaphors, through a large corpus of religious poets (Jean Baptiste Chassignet, Jean de La Ceppède, Jean de Sponde, Jean Auvray, Antoine Favre, Pierre Poupo)
Kern-Boquel, Anne. "Le Mythe de Napoléon dans la poésie française (1815-1848)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040022.
Full textBetween 1815 and 1848, Napoleon became established as one of the major sources of inspiration in French poetry. Writers of all kinds – from the greatest poets of the age to lyricists of popular songs and part-time versifiers – took on the challenge of evoking a figure that came to be presented as the archetypal hero. This study aims to explore the corpus of Napoleonic poetry within the framework of the notion of literary myth : how, in what forms and with what consequences did the literary myth of Napoleon emerge in this poetry ?The following three objectives are thus proposed: to account for the historical birth of a literary myth ; to go beyond a fragmented analysis in order to identify an overarching structure ; to identify and situate the meanings of the literary myth in the broader context of Romanticism.A cataloguing of Napoleonic poetry serves as a starting point for an analysis that aims to marry chronological, thematic and aesthetic approaches to the myth. Each of the first four parts examines a chronological segment of the corpus, alternating between general presentations and more specific studies focusing on particular works : the transition from the representation of an epic hero to the representation of a mythical hero (1815-1821), the first blossoming of the myth, occurring together with a liberal rereading of Napoleon’s actions (1821-1830), the apogee of the myth (1830-1848), the decline and eventual redefining of the myth (1840-1848). The fifth part proposes a synthesis of the material that has been thus far assembled in order to explore the constitutive themes and the structures of the myth as well as its links to Romanticism

Full textThis work reexamines Jean-Jacques Rousseau's conception of the reverie, by placing it in the evolution of the descriptive poesy. The first part tries to reveal the sources of Rousseau's reverie and the characteristics of the literary creation in the 1760s and 1770s, by the genetic study of The Seasons of Saint-Lambert : a work doesn't come from the solitary meditations of only one author, but from the rivalries and the exchanges of ideas between diverse philosophers and writers ; and the theme of the sentiment of existence, that was popular among the philosophers around 1750, insinuates into the poetical milieu thanks to Saint-Lambert who had amicable relations with the sensualists. Paying attention to the philosophical quarrels between the Encyclopedists and Rousseau concerning to the delight and the morality, the second part examines the influence of these quarrels on their literary creation. This approach enables us to determine the philosophical sense that Rousseau gives to the reverie. Examining the passages on the reverie in The Months of Roucher, the third part tries to define the contribution of the reverie of Rousseau to the evolution of the lyricism in the end of 18th century. In this way, this work attempts to demonstrate that the philosophical mind, which characterizes the Age of the Enlightenment, isn't opposed to the poetical mind, but it brought an important contribution to the renaissance of the lyricism in the end of the 18th century

Full textThéodore de Banville, a little known poet generally associated with the “fantaisiste” current because of his Odes funambulesques, is at last attracting the attention of university criticism since his works provide a new vision of post-romantic poetry. Not only was Banville Baudelaire’s closest friend, he was seen as a master by Mallarmé, Verlaine and Rimbaud. By taking all of Banville’s poetry into account-from Les Cariatides (1842) to Dans la fournaise (1891) –, the intention is to re-situate the poet within the history of the nineteenth-century’s Hellenic rebirth side by side with Hugo, Baudelaire, Gautier, Leconte de Lisle, Ménard…, in a period of crisis during which artists tried to exile themselves from a “prudhommesque” world. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to re-think the aesthetic evolution of Banville’s poetry through Hellenism as well as the complex relationship between Romanticism and the Parnasse, the second being simplistically viewed as a repudiation of the first while Banville was central to both movements. Like Gautier, Banville was as a “bridge” between Romanticism and the Parnasse

Full text"poetry as the whole of life" life as a dream" are two phrases of cadou that invite us to explore his poetical universe taking into account his biography, the slant of his soul and his aesthetics. The birth and maturity of a poet who died when young, the destiny of a man who chose to be a provincial, a life injured by trials ans bereavements, love radiating all along on that journey, are as many themes chronologically dealt with in rene guy cadou's life and passion, published by bof in 1975. In the bonds in this world (champ vallon, 1982), the connection of what is written with the spatio-temporal referent is analysed under the notion of "realyricism" and is integrated in the general problematics of interdependence. It is important for cadou to abolish the borders, to live through words the multiple relations between the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms, between the beings, the ego and the others, even between lyricism and humour. The virtue of communication and the fertility of exchange asserts itself as a fundamental value through a set of themas which can be as well spatial (doors, windows) as verbal (the functions of language, the fulfilled dynamics of questions ans answers). An anti-narcissus, cadou incarnates a generous orphism, softy "panic" (cf. Pan) in which the whoman, children and privileged animals are active figures. As a supreme value love demands a quasi mystical transparency. An ever-faithful man, the poet grew up out of his geographical, social and verbal fertilizing soil. He was born of the ordinary people and never stopped testifying to that belonging. The unpublished story poetry and the people shows that cadou was an exemplary conciliator. If he enjoyed populism (in novels or poetry) he also showed he was fond of popular, literary or paraliterary, culture. A member of the rochefort school or by himself, he committed himself in his own way by addressing everybody

Full textGenerally considered to be the result of poetic decline, or even creative renunciation, the later poetry of Verlaine tends to be forgotten by publishers and critics. This corpus, albeit heterogeneous, offers a constant reflection on literary expression and reception. From the publication of Sagesse in 1880, the poet emphasizes the art of disconcerting the reader created in his earlier poems. He writes outside of his time, against the standards and conventions of public opinion, but also uses explicit and implicit self-contradictions. This thesis proposes to show how Verlaine elaborated unstable, contradictory and polyphonic poetry, to surprise readers and confront them with their freedom and their responsibility with regard to the interpretation of texts

Full textWe wanted to study five poets from the early seventeenth century with the tools found by the critics of the "imaginaire", from fancy, that is to say Gaston Bachelard, Gilbert Durand et Jean-Pierre Richard. Nobody has ever applied this method on this period. We have to point out this method and its purpose, then to examine typical problems from this poetry: cliché and formal problems for instance. Five works on those poets draw their fancied world by putting a stress on their favorite places, times, materials and objects. To draw a conclusion, we can say that this method can be applied to the seventeenth century, and even became better thanks to it. We can say the same in the opposite direction. However, we have to check whether the repetition of symbol, archetype or myth that have been seen from one poet to another, may be valid for the whole period

Full textThe objective of our thesis, entitled “Holiness in the Works of Charles Baudelaire”, is to read the works of Baudelaire under the light of Christian theology. In order to be as exhaustive as possible, our thesis has been divided into three parts: the first part summarizes what previous critics have said concerning the question raised by the thesis; the second part, exclusively theoretical, responds in thirteen chapters to the question “What is holiness?“ according to Christianity; the third part, aided by the first two, analyses the works of Baudelaire from a theological point of view.The third part, the most important one of our thesis, begins by examining four words of the poetical vocabulary of Baudelaire: sainteté (holiness), saint (holy), sacré (sacred), religion (religion). We analyse their meaning, their frequence, their place, their interaction, their relations with other terms and concepts. The second chapter poses the question of the city and in particular of the possible links between the city of Baudelaire, Paris, and two other holy cities, Rome and Jerusalem. The third chapter analyses the structure of the two main poetic works of Baudelaire, “The Flowers of Evil” and “The Spleen of Paris” from a theological point of view. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the fifth part of “The Flowers of Evil” of 1861: “Revolt” which depicts a revolt against God. The fifth chapter follows the paths of four figures representing the poet: the madman (le fou), the jester (le bouffon), the ragpicker (le chiffonnier) and the acrobat (le saltimbanque). The sixth chapter is dedicated to the biblical symbol of the tree, a symbol of great importance, found also in Baudelaire's works. The seventh chapter analyses the relation of Baudelaire with the Church, his religious vocabulary, all the possible links with the Gospel and also the liturgical moments of his poetry: gestures, words and actions. The eighth chapter is dedicated to three sacerdotal figures: the priest, the monk and the martyr. The ninth chapter invites to read, with the help of the Gospel, a poem of “The Flowers of Evil” entitled “The Ransom” (La Rançon). The tenth chapter analyses the figure of the child in three poems of “The Spleen of Paris”: “The Cake” (Le Gâteau), “The Toy of the poor” (Le Joujou du pauvre) and “The Vocations” (Les Vocations). The eleventh and final chapter proposes an analysis of the poem “I have not forgotten, neighbouring the city…” (Je n'ai pas oublié, voisine de la ville…) by highlighting the links with other Baudelaire's poems.By emphasizing the importance of the biblical knowledge that Baudelaire possessed, especially visible in “The Flowers of Evil”, we want to show, contrary to what is usually affirmed, that the works of Baudelaire are fully Christian and that in them Christ is not absent. Two words of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry resume our point of view: “Baudelaire: redemption.”

Full textThe publication of the Meditations, written by Alphonse de Lamartine, in 1820, produces the revival of lyricism in French litterature. These verses make a silent revolution in the poetics of the Enlightenment, although they keep carefully the ancient rules, because the notion of harmony proposes another conception of the world and of the words. Harmony consists in semantic diversity, linking together many fields that modernity has now separated : poetry, music, politics and faith. The poem is thus the mirror of History and shows the progress of humanity. Through the life of Lamartine, poet and statesman at the same time, the dream of harmony becomes present and possible and offers a commonplace idea. Utopia ? Maybe it has only taken place into the poem itself, when Lamartine's poetry aims to speak to anybody in the heart's langage, and even to God with the music of the words

Full textThis work aims to re-think the status of the idyll in the French literature during the 19th century by combining theory of literary genres, literary history and hermeneutics. Objecting to the common-sensical idea that the idyll has evolved into a frozen genre full of anachronical clichés after André Chénier, it provides some conceptual ressources to analyze the actual dynamics of the idyll, both in terms of form and signification. The notion follows three main logics : a rhetorical one, which places the idyll into the poetic of literary genres, an historical and philosophical one, which, since the 18th century, considers the idyll as a cue of a mythical origin and an image of the Ideal, and lastly, a psychological one, born with the romantic revolution, which understands the idyll in terms of illusion, fantasies or dreams. Because of its intrinsic complexity, the idyll provides a priviliged point of view to examine the most important changes of the modern times. This work gives an overview of the evolution of the genre during the 19th century and examines the explicit references to the idyll made by Nerval, Hugo, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Balzac and Zola in some of their major poetical works and novels. In doing so, it develops a new perspective on the crisis of the subjectivity, the crisis of literary representation and the redrawing of the traditional distinction between prose and poetry
Kim, Jihyun. "Les poèmes du Crépuscule urbain chez Baudelaire : l’ironie dans le lyrisme de la modernité." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020REN20030.
Full textAfter having tried to be modern through his romantic aspirations during the 1840s, Baudelaire’s vision depends more and more on a pessimistic and critical perception of historical and existential reality. It is then that the first of the four poems, which are thedirect object of the present thesis, appears: “Le Crépuscule du soir”, in 1852, followed by the prose poem of the same title in 1855, then “La Fin de la journée” and “Recueillement” in 1861; finally, by a new version of the prose poem in 1862. When readtogether successively, these five texts, composed in the course of more than ten years, and which share the same theme —the feeling that the subject feels at nightfall in the modern metropolis— seem to us very likely to reveal a profound meaning in the evolution of Baudelaire’s poetics.Revolving around the immanent tension in their theme, the “urban crepuscule” : a tension between an intimate, lyrical pole of the “evening”, and a realistic, disenchanted pole of the “city”, our reading of these poems tries to show how Baudelaire, defining his position in the fluctuating literary field of mid-nineteenth century France, has imposed a new path, as paradoxical as “heroic”, yet without seeking to hide his oscillation between “modernity”— even if still vague in definition— and an ideal of “pure”lyricism

Full textTristan Corbière is the author of the only collection of poems named "Les Amours Jaunes" written in 1873. The breton poet speaks with cynisme about his children’s broken dreams, failed love, the difficulty to become outstanding and even ton exist. He feels misundersood, unloved, rejected. His pain is translated by the "tortured" and antipoetic style. His verses is chopped off ; what shows the stammered language and his feelings. The emptyness and the hollow are expressed in his poems. "Les amours jaunes" représents actually the pursuit, the plea and the refusal of love, his humiliations. His sarcasm, agressions, perpetual insatisfaction, his numerous contradiction show his deep sufferings and distress. Devoid of roots, name, glory, he feels out of society, he wanders out of the human world, he stays a stranger to the universe and to himself

Full textThe poems written for court festivals in the second half of the Sixteenth century have long been considered unworthy of the attention of scholars of French literature. However, these colourful traces of famously splendid court festivities involved many of the poets of the generation of the “Pléiade”, remembered today mostly for its classic collections of poetry. Nonetheless, these poets also participated in the practice of composing impromptu poetical pieces, which effectively made them the masters of court entertainment. These poets did not restrict their activities to their study or their “librarie”, but designed the sets and organised the saging of their masques – sometimes even playing some of the parts – and collaborating with other artists. The part played by the poet in these festivals is far from being solitary: it is essentially collaborative. His verses are not a mere ornament of the festivities, but are their very life, giving them shape and colour. Poetry plays a part in all aspects of the festivals at court: it is sung, but also inscribed on elements of the décor and showered down on the monarch when he arrives. In this sense, poetry is the “légende” of the celebrations, serving as a caption and as a way creating a legendary, sacred and dramatic representation of power. This poetry also participates in the aesthetic of the maraviglia characteristic of manneristic and baroque festivals. The poetic genres that they involve (masques, mummeries, cartels etc.) mutually influenced each other and developed as hybrid forms which were grew out of the intertwining of many different poetic traditions

Full textComing to light in the 1970s, the Novísimos generation eclipses many decades of cultural suffocation by breaking formal constraint and linguistic codes. If a certain form of liquidation seems to be initially at work, the culture of silence and emptiness soon provides fertile ground for rebirth. Gathered around the common goal of poetic renewal, Guillermo Carnero, Leopoldo María Panero and Jaime Siles are in constant dialogue with French poets, more precisely with late nineteenth-century Modernists such as Baudelaire, Gautier, Mallarmé and Rimbaud. As a sort of cultural mosaic, the poem not only brings together paintings and verses, rhythm and colour, but also confronts the most erudite references with the intermingling of idioms and popular elements. This multiplication of meanings leads to a poetic language that attains universality and questions the poem and its main players. In this intermediary work between arts and cultures, a revolution is underway

Full textThe poems of Valéry seem to be a site of radical contradictions with fundamental ambiguity which was deeply rooted in his life. He lived in an ontological division between the body and the spitit, féminine and masculine soul and, as such, his poetry is split by antithetical symbolism of the ascension and the descent. On the other hand, the act of writing allowed him to surpass those contradictions and restore his intériour balance. Reflecting over the dialectic of ascension and descent, and with the aide of fundamental antinomy of mythe, we aim to get a comprehensive vision that integrates Valéry's poetical writing, his personal psyche and the universal fantasy of mankind. By mythical structure, we mean the archetype and latent principle that integrated his poetical univers, allowing Valéry a logical model to understand and surpass the contradictions. Our study starts with a reflection on Valéry's poetical view, the most visible and the externalized expression of his mental dialectic. Then, we analyse the deep layer of his psyche by means of the genetic methodology. We'll end up with the analysis on the dynamism of mankind's psche with aide of the mythocritic methodology

Full textThe question of the bird in contemporary poetry seems to be obvious. It's really impossible to open a collection of poems without seeing lots of explicit references to the bird : his fly, his singing, and his discreet but permanent presence. How to explain this recurrence in contemporary production ? And what's the foundation of the bird's particularity in the animal kingdom ? After justifying the connection of the three poets of our corpus, we based our work on analogical and transdiciplinary viewpoints. Reviving the medieval mysticism, poetry looks for the limits of human nature in the world-macrocosm. The bird, that seems the last limit for the human psychism, allows us to redefine animality in accordance with a principle of "consanguinity" (Saint-John Perse). Against the modern proclivity to dispersion and catalogue, this analogical thought circulating in the poems of our authors, wants to reconstruct the weft, to "sew up the universe". The metaphysical dimension, that is not often clearly claimed by our poets, is always underlying. Beyond a description of the real world, that is leaning on the precision of the science, another dimension, verging on rilkean "Ouvert", impregnates their works. The bird, through the patterns of the flight and the singing, draws the lines of poetics linked by aesthetic modernity

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

Full textThe poetical works of Algernon Charles Swinburne articulate the manyavatars of a decomposition that manifests itself both the matically and prosodically in the text. Corpses, lepers, drowned bodies abound in his poetic universe. Beyond the clichés and common places of decadent aesthetics, Swinburne interrogates the possibility of proliferating materiality, so intense and irresistible that it contaminates the poetic form itself. This dynamics starts a curious autopoietic style that heralds the limitless possibilties of a formal recomposition. This thesis examines the stakes of Swinburne’s poetics, in order to understand where it stands in the context of the circulation of ideas during the end of the nineteenth century. In order to do so, this work will explore the dense intertextuality that connects the poet to French literature, from François Villon to Stéphane Mallarmé, through Clément Marot and Charles Baudelaire. Swinburne, francophone and francophile, appears as a overlooked figure, central both in English and French literatures

Full textVaporous motifs abound in the second half of the nineteenth century. One must study their functions, understand the roles they may have played in the accession of literary language to modernity. First of all, vapour is traditionally closely linked to knowledge ; the undefined is the veil of the infinite and hence integrates into the metaphysical and fantastic codes which indicates the unknown. It also belongs to the literary landscape of a disappointed generation which made melancholy its own "world-weariness" ; mist is a torture or a refuge. Then Zola creates the portrait of a family and a society which end up in smoke to rise from their ashes. But, above all, vaporous motifs partake of an aestheticism of vagueness. Influenced by visual arts, literature becomes descriptive and depicts the metamoprhosis of clouds and mist ; it brings in to light images out of vagueness. The writers of the second half of the nineteenth century also attempt to express what wears away ; representation faces a crisis. The aesthetic evolution of the second half of the nineteenth century leads the portic of vagueness to the treshold of modern art and literature

Full textCovering the field of xxth century french poetry, we investigate, mainly in a descriptive frame, the occurences and modalities of the expression of the sentiment of love (referred as poetics of love). Amongst the large number of texts that can intuitively be assigned as "poems of love", and in order to precise and characterize this intuition, we search for characteristics of a "poetic expression of love", emerging as recursive processes and forms. On account of the extend, variety and heterogeneity of the field, only a few key issues are addressed here. Rather than on the expression of the lover's feelings and emotions or lovelorns, we stress on the love ties and the celebration of the loved one. In a first part, we consider the distribution and disposition of the occurences of the name of the loved one. We analyze the related images, the possessive appellations and the anatomic blasons. The second part is devoted to communication and dynamical aspects, considering the address. We follow the occurrences of i and you, and consider their proximity, relative spheres of influence, meetings. . . We identify and propose an interpretation of the forms, figures and configurations of the relational utterance
Jourdan, Gledel Marie Françoise. "Jean Cocteau : danse et poésie." Rennes 2, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998REN20018.
Full textJean Cocteau, poet with numerous types of writing, very early integrated choregraphic art into his poetic creation. That way sublimated daily reality, symbolic characters and many other recurrent themes and patterns can be found again and again both in his poems and ballets. This interaction between poetry and dance had definite repercussions in his works leading to a deep cohesion. Poetry became in Cocteau's works a strength that filled the whole world and that only the poet as a medium could fully grasp. Drawing from the various sources of mysticism, Cocteau develops a view of a 'pluridimensional' universe made of worlds that endlessly fit together, abolishing the concept of time, reflecting merely the interlocking of space. Vacillating between secrecy and explanations, Cocteau's paradoxical choices dismayed the critics and gave birth to many misunderstandings. And yet in his own way Cocteau, fascinated by the choregraphic creation, carried on the French traditions of 'ballet-theatre'. Following his example, other writers (Claudel, Cendrars, Picabia, Valery, Gide) tried the adventure and this movement which was most patent between the two wars reopens the debate on the relation between dance and poetry and on the purity in art
Monneyron, Frédéric. "L'imaginaire androgyne d'Honoré de Balzac à Virginia Woolf." Paris 4, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040261.
Full textThe androgyne can be found in the mythologies of many cultural areas. In the western one, plate uses it as an illustration of his theories of love, then it appears as a major element in Judeo-Christian mystical and theosophical systems. If on the one hand the ethno-religious myth can be easily located and if its patterns are clear, on the other hand it takes time for the literary myth to find its way out. At the beginning of the 19th century, the neo-classical aesthetics, the progress of medical research and the increasing interest in mysticism are chances for the literary myth to develop. In France, during the romantic period, Balzac and Gautier with Seraphita and Mademoiselle de Maupin, in two different ways, found a genuine literary myth. The androgyne becomes in the works of the French and English writers at the end of the century an important character of the decadence. But no perfect symmetry is to be seen anymore and the idea takes form as two opposite characters : the effeminate young man and the boyish woman. This decay of the symbol brings along the expression of a "different" sexuality. Recollection of some of the most significant patterns of the myth is allowed from time thanks to the esoteric tradition of the androgyne which is known by some of the novelists. In the other way, the literary imaginary of the time has strong influence on the doctrin itself. Although psychoanalysis is unable to consider bisexuality but as a hypothesis, the androgyne receives at the beginning of the 20th century a psychological integration. Indeed, the will to androgyny can be read in some of the D. H. Lawrence’s works as an attempt to balance heterosexual and homosexual desires and in the feminist way of V. Woolf's Orlande as the search of the truth beyond immediate appearances. These directions, though close to the patterns of the myth, are nevertheless the witnesses of its death. But they show the strength of the archetype and give way to the rich and diverse imaginary of today

Full textThe question of the poetic construction in the lines Mallarmé wrote about Dance will be examined throughout this thesis from the point of view of the modifications he made on some of his works. Through the analysis of the process by which Mallarmé has been able to refine his thoughts in his poetic writings and his critics of the Dance, we will try to define the role taken by the Dance in the last part of his life. Focused on the privileged place occupied by the Ballet, we will try to give an interpretation of his poetic prose while defining the vision that Mallarmé had of this art. The highly innovative and singular nature of his writings dedicated to the Dance will be highlighted and we will be able to finally define what this art represented for him. The concept of Dance for this poet, comes out of its ordinary framework, and it is defined as something of high value and high significance in Mallarmé’s creative process. With this thesis, we will circumscribe the continuities between the poems and the critics of Mallarmé, in order to seize more precisely how he came to think about Dance the way he did
Durand, Isabelle. "Aspects de la représentation du Moyen Age dans la littérature romantique : domaines français, anglais, allemand." Nantes, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999NANT3010.
Full textThe romantic period is regarded as the moment of renewed interest for the Middle-Ages, a time the Age of Enlightenment had neglected. This revival can be witnessed in such various fields as history, architecture, musci or literature, which convergence leads us to consider the return to the Middle-Ages as a basic element of rmantic thought. As it is, its presence within new genres that regained favour thanks to rmanticism (the tale, the ballad, the romantic drama, the historic novel) induces us to measure the essential role of the return to the Middle-Ages in the coming out of a new conception of lietrature breaking off with classical rules. These various genres enable to emphasize the image of a largely fantasmatic Middle-Ages period reflecting the romantic expectations and dreams. Its high plasticity also enables it to be emodied in major characters the romantic thought tens to build up into myths (Charlemagne, Louis XI th. , Joan of ARc or Faustus). Containing typical medieval perceptions, they gather the main aesthetic and ideological issues associated with the Middle-Ages. It becomes possible then to put forwards a typology of the various romantic Middle-Ages, underlining the perceptions pertaining to the grotesque aspect of the period, those associating it to the fabulous and the terrifying, and those building it up into a golden age. Yet, difficult to reconcile as they are, these perceptions, seemingly ascribable to a common feature, tend to put forwards the original and the primitive. Thus, the Middle-Ages give birth to a myth, a myth of a primitive time hal-way between history and legend. This mythified past in which romanticism looks both foran an utterly remote otherness and its own identify proves to be a way to escape a devalued present. As a source of new inspiration, the return to medieval past is paradoxically one of the best means of expression of the modernity of the romantic movement

Full textThis journey in 20th century poetry proposes a history of the imaginary of the stone and states the different expression from the last developments of symbolism to the margins of contemporary poetry. The evolution of this century's poetics actually finds one of its favourite reflections in the different transformations of this imaginary. If the precious stone perfectly mirrors the metaphysical and aesthetic hesitations of the "fin-de-siècle" spirit, the rough stone invades the poetical landscape of the fifties and thus, testifies to a progressive assumption of the matter and to a radical questioning of the human and of the meaning. From sparkling symbolism to crystal clear surrealism, from black surrealism to bare and succinct modernity, the metamorphosis of the stone do reveal the poetical stakes of this century. .

Full textThe Roman tragedies of XVIIIth and XIXth centuries have only one poor place in the literary studies. The exceptional longevity of the genre, which, since the XVIIth century, combines a fixed form on subjects which draw their inspiration from the same pages of history, seems to give an impression of monotony and wear, to which one conclude too quickly. One must not forget that these tragedies are in the middle of an intense theatrical life, which reflects philosophical and political questions. Closely related to the policy, the tragic theatre becomes a place of debate, then of propaganda, an instrument to celebrate the government or a means of disputation. Receiving various influences, the roman tragedies leave progressively the universe of convention to which modern criticism restricts them, to become more natural : thanks to the actors and dramatists who transformed codes, Rome is really alive on the tragic scene, testifying to the multiple nuances of a genre which hesitated a long time between classicism and romanticism

This study approachs literary movments (realism, naturalism, popular literature) and sets the child's statuts up according to a double viewpoint : the child in society, the child as a person. Child working, stray child along the roads and into the towns are representations of a new glance of novelists about a social class which was not, until now, approached in fiction : the ordinary people. Social structures and family life allows novelists to write about the personal statut of the child, wether he maintains himself against exploitation, wether he becomes a victim of social or family opression. The study is ending with personality of children who are daring to refuse social or family exploitation, children we'll find again in the fiction of the twentieth century

Preiss, Nathalie. "Les Physiologies en France au 19e siècle : étude littéraire et stylistique." Paris 4, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040287.
Full textIn this study of les physiologies in France in 19th century, the point is, by means of stylistics, to find constants in these studies of manners which invade Paris and France particularly from 1840 to 1845, in order to determine whether les physiologies constitute a literary genre. If the physiologists follow the tradition of La Bruyere's caracteres and of the studies of manners of the 18th century, they can also innovate and using the technique of caricature and of "portrait-charge", insert their texts in actuality. So, in les physiologies appears the history of the events, the ideas, the literature of a period that anybody can experience. This last point induces us to consider the nature of the reading public of les physiologies which is culturally and politically distinguishable. In fact, les physiologies, by their style, are linked to the political newspapers opposed to the July monarchy. But, using the descriptive and classificatory method of zoologists, the physiologists assume a distant position from scientific physiologists and particularly from the social physiologists who want to upset the regime in promoting a unitary view of society. And it is by their fragmentary and fragmented view of reality that les physiologies become a literary genre. So, when in the second part of the 19th century, a more and more unitary view of phenomenon predominate over minds, les physiologies will change and die. It is in this perspective we may question a possible revival today of a genre which is not one

Full textAs other nineteenth-century cultural works did, opera contributed to enriching writers'imaginative world, concerned about both its artistic and institutional dimension. In the second part of the period, narrative fiction references to the lyrical phenomenon make it the basis of a metaliterary thought in which the prima donna's personality, the way the performance is looked at, the voice rendering are so many themes used by novelists and short story writers to stage their relationship with writing. This support of opera to the self-reflexive meaning of the works adds to their anthropological purpose. Thus, the hints to the lyrical performance provide the writers with an essential tool for exploring the limits of the reality painted in fiction. Narrative fiction resorts to the sung drama as well, symbolizing the unstable equilibrium between the Apollinian and the Dionysiac, to emphasize the threat exerted by the latter on society, incessantly endangered by a devastating cruelty which persuades the myths enriching opera. Finally, its connivance with the socio-political field supplies the novelists with a significant material to the social criticism in which they represent moreover the emergence of a rebellious subjectivity through the consciousness of a spectator from now on more responsive to his own mental representations than to the splendours of the prevailing ideologies
Hammoudi, Rafika. "La religion de Rimbaud." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014REN20034/document.
Full textWriting about the Religion of Rimbaud, implies, by necessity, an analysis of his anticlericalism and his tumultuous relationship with the religion of his youth : Christianity. However if these notions structure our study of Premières poésies and Une saison en enfer, they could not perform in the case of Derniers vers and Illuminations. Making us realize the necessity of opening the religious notion to its philosophical aspect. Then through its poetical work, Rimbaud suggests an interrogation on the sense of the existence and especially on Time, Memory and Space ; that is to say on the Poet and its cosmos. Appears at that moment, simultaneously positive and negative, his vision of the world : his opposition to Christianism and to its social conservative equivalent (Bourgeoisie) but also his affirmation of another reality in Idyll or urbanism. Moreover this religion could link his poetical work as a whole despite its heterogeneous apparence

Full textThe main objective of this dissertation is to analyse the look as a sign of the outlook in the XIXth century French novel. Belonging to more different fields (art, philosophy, psychology, sociology, medicine, literature), the look asks for a special treatment, as it cannot be approached only using the classic literary methods (i. E. The thematic one, the poetic one or the linguistic one), but also taking into account information provided by fields such as psychology or the study of the outlooks. This dissertation points out those characteristics of the look which can be found in all the novels, in spite of their belonging to different literary movements such as romanticism, realism, and naturalism: space, time, characters, limits, contents, form, message, functions and effects. Analysing these characteristics leads us to the conclusion that the look is a unitary phenomenon governed by a precise set of rules established according to the time's usages

Full textHow can we explain the obsession of the "supernatural" in the works of French-speaking African writers? The exploration of western awareness, backed up with texts dating from the Graeco-Latin antiquity to the modern period, discloses the underlying psychological bases of such an obsession. By insisting on the blacks "fetishism" and their spiritual void, the Europeans have created a sentiment of frustration; the natural result for the victims of yesterday has been an attitude of self-defense and the need to restore their tarnished image. Through the "sacred of the terroir", African writers reveal a world order focussed on the unifying power of the cosmos. On the other hand, the "revealed religions", as vehicles of cultural norms from abroad, have evacuated the sacred from the cosmos and have thus neutralized and robbed the latter of its originality. Therefore, the adoption of the sacred for Africans means: - the rehabilitation of the black man and of the African "terroir". - the nostalgia for the origins
