Nguyen, Thi Quoc Thanh. "L'émergence du thème de la mer dans la littérature vietnamienne contemporaine." Paris, INALCO, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004INAL0016.
Full textThe Vietnamese need some centuries to take conscience of the maritime element. Until the second half of the 20th century, the Vietnamese history nearly did not have events which took place on the sea. The China Sea was neglected by the Vietnamese who prefered their rivers. The rough currents off Vietnam and the superstitions made the people afraid of this part of their territory. The exile on the sea in the 80's by the Vietnamese Boat-People consequently caused one of the most important literary movement of the country. Through literature, we can see this learning of living with the China Sea by the Vietnamese people, their own way to take place in the South East Asian's politic scene with their strategic position on the sea. Poets like Huy Can or Xuan Dieu have done much to make them get accustomed to the theme of the sea in poetry and novels. It is this evolution, this learning which is worth studying because the China Sea is becoming an inspiration for Vietnamese literature

Full textOur research intends to find the essential points existing between contemporary poetry and mysticism. We look at mysticism, free from its religious context, as an experimental knowledge of the being, based on a direct contact and union with a non-individual consciousness. The poetry is examined as an attempt to express this experience of unity and a way to approach it or to orient the reader towards “the real. ” Choice is based upon its convergences with mystical texts not directly claiming an affiliation with tradition, affirming links to “wild mysticism” or the atheistic (even if the poets did not specifically affirm or even deny it). Established on the ground of experience, we intend to understand the poetic experience using the knowledge of mysticism, considering various concerns which contemporary poetry engages: poetic subject, lyricism, inspiration, rhythm, etc. We seek to demonstrate that mysticism can reveal unseen dimensions to a poetry and make it even more meaningfull
Silva, Alexandra Moreira da. "La question du poème dramatique dans le théâtre contemporain." Paris 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA030138.
Full textApplying the concept of “dramatic poem” to contemporary theatre may be considered irrelevant and even anachronistic. However, there is a growing number of authors who call themselves “dramatic poets” or simply “poets”. The fact that these authors regard their texts as dramatic poems does not mean that they are seeking to categorize their works within a specific genre, but rather that they are questioning and permanently reinventing forms and languages which are at the very basis of the scenic transformations and changes in the relation between author and audience. Our proposal for an analysis of the dramatic poem presupposes a reflection on the many changes introduced, especially since the 1980s, in the relation between author, theatre director and audience, as well as on the experimental character of theatrical texts, which show an increasing tendency to “overflow”, i. E. , to transcend the canon of drama. Thus, contemporary dramatic poem is the ideal form of a new genre, which Jean-Pierre Sarrazac terms “infradramatic”. We can therefore say that contemporary dramatic poem constitutes a positive reaction against the announced death of drama, showing the power of drama to reinvent and revive itself
Leforestier, Claire. "Poétique de l'amour dans la poésie du vingtième siècle." Paris 3, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA030144.
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

Full textSerge pey, the torn-out tongue or oral action poetry, a contribution to the history and the analysis of orality and of the poem at the end of the xxth century. Referring to the myth of philomela, the author analyses the complex relation between orality and writing. Philomela, "she who loves melody", witnesses the division of a poem, between the writing and the voice. Is the page a torn-out tongue? all writing bears its orality and all orality its writing. Based on the original experience of its author, this thesis analyses the oral exercise of poetry upto the contemporary limits of performance within which it evolves. Under the heading of "the buried tongue", the first part emphasizes the phonostylistic aspects of poetry and thus, forms its critical examination. In the search for his lost orality, the poet, like philomela, seeks his tongue in the rythm and the corporal aspects of reciting, forgotten by the western world, in the ritual act of the poem, in silence or in a transe. The explosion of dadaism and the extremist movements, which were paradoxically against the poem, has allowed the liberation of the mouth reciting the poem

Full textThe poetic project, which was born from the intolerable linguistic fracture between mankind and world and from the confrontational and diachronic relations between poetry, sciences and religious discourse is to create an imagery-language (pretence and diagram) which is halfway between representation and world extraction. It is perceptible in the textual strategies : disintegrations of the linguistic apparatus and development of synthesises, which making the poem a complete world, ensure to mankind to reestablish and to the world to appear "one". The result of these strategies is to create a noin structural and dynamic place even escaping from the world arena because it is "shallow nothingness" but ensuring the self-creation of a phenomenon in the world during the reception
Marchal, Hugues. "Corpoèmes, l'inscription textuelle du corps dans la poésie en France au vingtième siècle." Paris 3, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002PA030073.
Full textApparently anachronistic and yet always pressing, the quest for a literary work at once corporal and poetic has haunted the XXth century. Whether as an effort at textual incorporation or in the pursuit of an adequate verb, " writing the body " should be understood less as a theme than as a process of formal and critical renewal, which has inscribed the body within theory. Contested and yet at issue, the very stakes of this quest have fueled a debate confronting various writers and divergent understandings of the body. From Valéry and Claudel to Noe͏̈l or Prigent, this study explores both the project itself and the discursive community formed around the desire to write, or uncover in the text, an Other of the text. To this end, we have inventoried the arguments of a topic in which the body is represented as being "excribed" (J. -L. Nancy), i. E. Beyond the reach of all utterances, and yet also inscribed within every poem. And we have excavated the sites either assigned or refused to the "corpoème" (J. Sénac) in the models provided for the conceptualization of the work. Discussing the desire to mix the poem and the body leads to question the limits assigned to literary theory and history, and to connect different disciplines and temporalities. The quest also elicits the idea of a "global text", understood in terms of symbol, icon and index-- three levels articulated according to complex competing and compensatory strategies. Here, "writing the body" cannot be reduced to a struggle against language. It has generated an assortment of fruitful new poetics, which capitalize on the organic structure of the text or consider it as a trace allowing for the reproduction of a gesture. .

Full textThe works of Jaime Siles waver between an abstract philosophical poetry about the Being and a sensual poetry close to the language of the body. Such concepts as time and space revolve round this founding concept. In a philosophical approach, our study also focuses on fields in which different notions spring up and intermingle so as to uncover constant thinking and the development of a personal poetic universe. Bodies, space and time are more than merely concepts: Siles’s poetic thinking aims at determining them without disconnecting from the real world. The body of the text, a clear indication of the chiasmus man and poetry, remains the core of our study: that is the reason why it can also be found at the centre of Siles’s metapoetic works. Metapoetry is not simply a theorizing of notions. Though it shows a poematic voice retiring within oneself, it also reveals some ontological thinking about man at the turn of the century as well as at any period of time. Its being cut off from any historical background is not real. Metapoetry shows interests in the questions of the community from the poematic voice. The bonds that voice may create with the community can be found through echoes, showing a connexion to the world stamped with the memory of the myth of the nymph. Breaking up and intermingling then become the signs of a body represented in the flesh of the world and the poem. That representation implies experiencing specific time : it is through this process that real bodies and bodies of signs appear as desiring entities

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

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 textIn this study, we have tried to outline the metaphysical quest as it appears in modem poetry from the beginning of the century - the middle of that troubled period from the crack of the first world war to the beginning of the moderm era after the second word war -, especially the poetry of three poets : jules supervielle, saint-john perse and pierre jean jouve. From the outset, their poetry claims to be the way to a search, continuously thrown into question, and so, basically dynamic, for the meaning of being. It is indeed the fruit of an epoch, because this poetry is considered to be influenced by that epoch, particularly through the will, which it doesn't deny, to overthrow unreal ideals and to enlighten old taboos, but its main characteristics is to distinguish itself through its own search of historical concems. Therefore, a certain trend towords pure poetry characterizes these poets' metaphysical quest. This quest goes through the questioning of the notion of essence and the existence of god. However, the convergence of their insights does not prevent them from standing faraway from each other concerning their answers to the quest : dialogue for supervielle, mouvement for saint-john perse and mystical monologue for jouve. Although so different by their nature and by their approach to metaphysical problems, they still personify, not strictly speaking, a trend but a really specific literary perspective
Dupouy, Christine. "La question du lieu en poésie, du surréalisme à nos jours." Paris 4, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040004.
Full textThe question of place is essential in poetry, for whom who wants to understand the passage from surrealism to the following generation. It is connected with heideggerian and therefore phenomenological problematics, wondering about our being-in-the-world, but also it is conveyed stylisticaly in texts, by interrogations. One is chosen by place, and its native quality is mostly symbolic. Place is not space, of which it constitues nothing but a point and to which it is opposed, as concrete to abstract, singular to general. However place is a center, from which the world emanates. All naturaly memory relies on the support of place, and in order to go back in time perhaps one just has to move a bit in space. Then comes the temptation of immemorial, which is linked with the sacred, but asks also the question of the denial of history : in such a case cannot place be reactionary? as to the problem of image, specific of surrealism, the writings of the poets of place is much more subtile than the peremptory assertions they might have done, and for them too it is important. Poetry of place hesitates between short forms like the haiku and a wider singing, which often uses a line of fourteen syllables and more: prose and poetry tend then to mix, as reflexion and description
Bako, Burada Alina Ioana. "Dinamica imaginarului poetic : grupul oniric românesc." Bordeaux 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009BOR30057.
Full textA purely theoretical presentation has been written which helped us fins the instruments to get to know the group of Romanian writers studied in this thesis. The introductory chapters have explained the notion of dream image in report to the image in general, and then to the dream and day-dreaming. The dream imaginary has been explained starting from the classical definitions in order tu put the concept in a larger context. This imaginary is conceived by the poets who wrote between 1964-1974, and who called themselves „The Dream Group”. It is a literary movement which appeared despite the socialist realism which had imposed itself in the Romanian literature of the epoch. This new movement is born from the French sur-realism (especially the sur-realist painting), but also from romanticism, trying to find a personal vision for itself. For the writers who belong to this period, being „dreamy” means being different from the other verse writers. It must be also said that this movement has manifested not only in poetry, but also in prose. However, it is only the poetry that has been analysed and the articles published by the dream poets have served as a scheme for analysis. The most important part of the thesis was the hermeneutical analysis of the dream poetry from the mentioned period in the works of the following poets: Leonid Dimov, Emil Brumaru, Daniel Turcea, Vintilă Ivănceanu, Virgil Mazileascu. In a distinctive chapter it was analysed the report between dream poetry and the sur-realist painting as well as the hybrid volumes published by Leonid Dimov together with the sketches draw by Florin Pucă and Ioan Donca. In conclusion, the thesis re-contextualised a period of the Romanian poetry in report to the European literature

Full textThe main part of this thesis analyzes the poetic work of Elizabeth Bishop, but it also deals with the study of her prose writings, notebooks, correspondence, paintings and other personal documents. Through the chronological study of the corpus (dictated by the regular publication of a book every 10 years), the body as subject of writing, as stake and indispensable object of the evolution of the poetic subject serves as a guiding line. However if Elizabeth Bishop writes a poetry of the body, it is not that of the naked body, but that, oxymoronic and paradoxical, which exhibits by means of reticence. At first, her poetry stages and pulls the body to pieces, then the disillusioned avatars succeed one another and allow the subject to question about his own relation to him/herself. Then, alienation appears as a precondition to the hermeneutic process of identification. The writing of the body, first a means to fight against the erasure of the subject, is also a protection against lyrical effusion and melancholy. Subsequently, the poetic subject turns to movement in a gesture to escape this melancholy. This state of creative and active running away leads to the exploration of the world that surrounds and engulfs the body of the subject. But the latter doesn’t confine him/herself to the body as mortal coil (human or animal), it goes in search of the material body of earth. Through real or imagined travel, through the polymorphic spaces, the test of "the other in me"extends itself in a test of "The Outsider" as territory and mirror. Finally, the detours are followed by the return to one’s self. The third stage of this work is characterized by reconstruction and the need to inhabit the world in poetry which goes through the acknowledgment not only of the inner self, but also of the poem as body and textual envelope. This "healing" takes place through the construction of a vital organism, a "poem-as-house", a "poem-as-body"

Full textThere is a triple analytical interest into poetic work of the lebanese french speaking poet. Mythical or mythological elements evoke the common genuine content of the work. This work is built on three main elements : the myth of the Tree, Graeco-roman legend and biblical and koranic narratives. In this way, we will show how Salah Stétié brayght up to date some complex legend topics. Thus, these writings are rooted in history, thaht is to say in a space and time context. Insertion into space and time is made clearer by using the je poétique and by the developement of the relations to women subject. Salah Stétié suggests an authentic individualization with a picture network. But soon, the violence of the writings will urge to go in search of a balance. That's why mystical perceptions prolong the quest. To reach this aim, philosophical and religious thought from Occident and Orient (characteristic of Judaeo-Christianism and Islam) are closely imbricated and have permited to built an original thought. Lastly, it seems thaht the discovery of a kind of perfect humanism and confirmation of wonder are exactly illustrating the harmony of Stétié's thought

Full textLandscape stands somewhere between art and geography : it is a complex concept, an interface of mankind and the world, of one artist and his perceptions. Because it is a creation and the place where this creation happens too, landscape is the main subject for three poets of the XXth Century : René Char, a French author writing in French, Octavio Paz, a Mexican author writing in Spanish, and George Séféris, a Greek author writing in Greek. Landscape is in each word these poets write, and in each “world” they grew up in : the Vaucluse and the river called Sorgue for Char, Mexico for Paz, and Eastern Greece (lost and far away Greece) for Séféris. Landscape appears where and when the three poets are “bound for the land of the living”, as we could say. This way of considering life is something to build. According to Char, Paz and Séféris, being alive and “in the land of the living” means that you decide to fulfil your destiny as a poet. Therefore you must move away from very well known landscapes to approach some new ones and the mystery of life, to face and discover an open world, which keeps some revelations. Landscape is the support of an existential search, and is a representation of universality for a poet who is questioning about himself. After passing through absence and appearances, we could hope to know an everlasting world, to write everlasting poems, and to be aware of the meaning of life and being on earth, as Char, Paz and Séféris, who constantly pay a tribute to the beauty of the world

Full textThe research work untitled The fervour for time or the poetry of Ricardo E. Molinari is divided into seven chapters. It has a general bibliography and a bibliography of the author, his works, books and plaquettes. This work studies in detail the movement of Vanguard in Argentina, the situation of the poet, his voice, his influences and his readings such as: Spanish Golden Age, English Romantic poetry, Cancionero Argentino and Cancioneros Galaicos-Portugueses. This work exposes the most important items of the argentinian poet. They are: nature with its all elements such as rivers, the pampa, the south, heaven, the winter, the nigth and the birds always in a poetical function. The idea of time is always interconected with the idea of death. Solitude and absence are admirative forms of the world. Love and his "beastiary" give place of an interior and lyrical time. The poem is not only the interpretation and privation of certain things of the world, but also the limitation of men facing time and death

Full textThis comparative research suggests the essential points of French dimension of the Bessarabian poetry in the twentieth century. The explicit example of the French imaging, decisive for synchronization, indeed literary postsynchronisation of the Romanian space (including Bessarabian) with the western world, has always manifested. During this imagological migration receipt of the foreign element involves the concept of time. The historical linear time of a society is against the cyclical time of the image, if not the stereotype. The crisis of time obliges the identity crisis. In the context of local literary quest for identity is changing with the implicit aesthetic research. The borrowed motifs, in most cases of French descent, mythical or paramythical, recurring or occasional - everything is invoked to connect the marginal literature with a coveted center, whether Romanian, French, European ... The work is structured around the reiterative theme (travel, island, city ...) or singular (Cythere, Guernica ...). An important place occupies the themes poetry and painting, landscape and identity research, and the study of cultural anthropology "Myth or Paramyth“. Much of the text is given to monitoring imagological of the French presence in totalitarian regimes. Following a stereotyped mentality, the French image becomes, respectively, symptomatic. Moreover, it represents a cultural outlet. Decisive for the constitution of the Bessarabian aesthetic imagination, the phenomenon of reminiscence and intertextuality contribute to the emergence of a poetic picture varied and disparate

Full textThis dissertation explores the emergence of a poetics of diversity through an analysis of large and diversified journeys into the world during the first three decades of the 20th century by proceeding in an interdisciplinary way that combines history, geography, and poetics. The corpus concerns at least two generations of poets [1880 and 1900] that comprise a large ensemble of both well-known and unknown poets [such as Saint-John Perse and Levet] whose work hasn’t yet been studied deeply [Larbaud, Nau, Supervielle, Morand, Romains] or remains largely unknown to us [Durtain, Levet, Brauquier, Nau, for example]. The dissertation shows that these poets, interacting within a political, cultural, and literary context, understand the world as a global space-time and open themselves to its diversity, attempting to comprehend it in a creative tension with the « Divers ». The dissertation interrogates the literary geography of this dynamic of extroversion by concentrating on the referent and by exploring space as a modality of a relationship to the world, which makes it possible to render visible a geopoetics of journeys through the world, renewing literary forms by putting them into dialogue with geographical forms, as well as allowing a geocritique of images of the world, diversely constructed by accentuating places, journeys, or landscapes which may become international. Approaching the poem in this way allows one to reevaluate the cosmopolitanism and international culture of these poets who tried, in various ways, to conciliate openness to diversity, rootedness in places and a give culture as well as demand for world unity

After having collected his first poems in pamphlets, he published in the "Mercure de France" in 1914, "Jésus-la-caille". His production enlarged herself laten on by mass production novels in witch "the bad boys who lived in the "milieu" were progressing in a rich atmosphere of a recalling power. "L'homme traque" won him in 1922 the "grand prix du roman de l'académie française". We owe him also stories of travels, books of remembrances, many plays and even songs.

Full textThrough close textual analysis of selected pieces of Sarah Kirsch's work, this study aims to show that interrelated notions of subjectivity, nature and society are central to the dynamics of her poetry. The poems selected reflect how Sarah Kirsch gradually distanced herself from her early enthusiasm for the socialist utopia, seeking shelter in the great literary models of the past and finding refuge in an idyllic nature untouched by human hand. Finally, a comparison between Sarah Kirsch and three other authors of her generation – Günter Kunert, Volker Braun and Wulf Kirsten – demonstrates how her work fits into the wider context of socialist critical poetry from 1965 till today

Full textContradiction typifies the bilingual poetical works of Peruvian author César Moro (1903-1956): widely appreciated in Latin-American literary circles, Moro’s works have however been relatively overlooked by publishers and scholars alike. This paradox may partly stem from the contrast between the profusion of images and sounds which appeals to the reader and fills him with poetical emotion, and the cryptic nature of a web of visual effects which seem to defy understanding. How thus can we define an interpretative method when the text itself seems to oppose it? If the poetics of Moro’s works oscillates between opaqueness of meaning and direct sensorial experience, between abstruseness and obviousness, an original approach of the materiality of the works should be set. This new analytical strategy should favour the combination of “micro-textual” examinations –through the study of the numerous plays on sounds and repetitions of phonemes– with “macro-textual” ones –taking into account how the poems relate to each other and also based on the diverse contexts of writing. Concealed behind the obsession with desire, a series of amorous or intertextual landscapes revealing the lyrical subject emerge. This lyrical subject finds answers to his questions about identity and existence by making a detour via the issues of otherness, the evocation and reconstruction of the images of his beloved and the appropriation of motives and references to the poetic tradition. The lover’s discourse and the metaphorical one thus concur in the writing of the self haunted by the issues of recognition, memory and death
Dupré, Jocelyn. "La construction du sujet dans l'œuvre de Jacques Réda." Paris 7, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA070123.
Full textSince he published Amen in 1968, the French poet, Jacques Réda, born in 1929 in Lunéville, has put forward a type of poetry based on /-; it unfolds in verse, prose, poems, narratives and essays, but also in three books with an autobiographical extent and two novels. This first perron whose unity we posit leads us to look at the subject of the work and the way he faces time, space and others. From this trilogy, we examine how he is being chronologically shaped around these three lines in three steps: childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. Time and space are not immediately given away, but are gradually widened ; other persons offer several tracks among which the subject will have to choose. Once an adult, he has to keep on forming himself: to cope with the erosion of time, he chooses to move on from the Ruines de Paris (1977). Here he can lose himself into three different ways and recover the centre: on foot, by moped or by train. Space allows one to get around time. Time can be trapped with some tricks such as eternity enclaves or the repetition of happy scenes. Moving along streets and roads, the subject sometimes feels like "rubbing up a little against his fellow men", who are not always easy to get along with. However, he already mixes with many in books : the writing subject clearly borrows his thirst for eternity from Follain, and from Cingria he borrows the practice of moving inside his own texts. Although the material is drawn from the author's life within certain autobiographical limits, it is not ultimately Réda the individual who is in question, but rather the construction of a poetic subject. Virtuosity of language and rhythm, along with the artful use of tenses, readings and rereadings, are the means deployed in the development of a subject who merges into the text and exists through it

Full textOur study of the painting in the poetry aims at analyzing the poetics of the ambivalence of two arts belonging to different artistic traditions. Especially since the poetry by its formal variety and its questioning on the being becomes a field of vast study and privileged. Our analysis limited itself to corpuses chosen, to know the works of Guillaume Apollinaire, Paul Eluard, Francis Ponge and Jean Tardieu which went alongside to painters. It is elaborated from the search for new graphic and plastic forms. Actually, the expression of the painting "in" the poetry indicates this intermediate pictorial space in the arrangement of the words of the poem and especially this intervention of the painting and the drawing in the poetry privileging the visual image in the twentieth century. This intervention allows us to encircle the problem of the poetic image made pictorial. Generally speaking, our method does not answer comparative objectives but it tries to highlight the specificity and the eclectic character of the poetry through a stylistic study of the processes of writing. This stylistic method, while insuring the insertion of the painting in the poetry of the twentieth century, examines a pictorial activity which displays in the poetic frame. It is effectively in the exchange between several arts which lives the poetic language
Caradec, Nathalie. "La notion de territoire dans la poésie bretonne de langue française contemporaine." Rennes 2, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002REN20068.
Full textContemporary Breton poetry, in the French language, gives much importance to the notion of territory, understood as meaning the geographical areas, landscapes or even certain places, all within the region of Brittany. The Breton identity is defined by several characteristics, one of which is the strong tie to the Brittany region or territory. With poets published since the Second World War, this theme is explicitly present, with the toponym precisely, or implicitly, locating the setting evoked. In our study of the notion of territory in contemporary Breton poetry, in the French language, we have chosen a thematic reading, to precisely define the different ways of evoking the region. This notion is examined in three main lines : land, water, a lost or re-found territory. Certain poets evoke the territory as linked to the land and more precisely to the forest or the Mounts of Arrée ; others emphasize the territory as linked to water in a varied spectrum of marshes, islands or rivers. Finally, the territory can be perceived within the framework

Full textThis study consists in creating an original portrait of “Michaux described as unclassifiable”, by using two particular figures: “chaos” and “chaosmos”, applied for the first time to criticism on the whole of the literary and pictorial creation of Michaux. The term “chaosmos”, a Joycian oxymoronic neologism, taken up by critics and philosophers of the twentieth century, from Umberto Eco to Philip Kuberski, from Gilles Deleuze to Félix Guattari in a wider context of scientific and social life, refers, in essence, to a relation of “osmosis” between “chaos” and “cosmos”, a form of internal continuity between order and disorder, which give rises to a paradoxical, composed cosmos. This notion will make it possible to rebalance the overall vision of the work of Michaux, by making communication between the part that belongs to chaos, to the trouble side and the part of order, on the eastern side. In effect, Michaux constantly oscillates between these two opposite but complementary directions: On the one hand, he maintains an open relationship with chaos which becomes a factor of creation; on the other hand, from this dive into chaos, he strives to maintain an equilibrium, to acquire unity and consistency without losing anything from the infinite. This is how chaosmos takes shape in secret, appears implicitly and works discreetly in Michaux’s creation: it expresses the opening of a Whole and integrates heterogeneous movements within it; it seems sufficiently finite at every moment but capable of complementing itself to infinity; ultimately, it frees itself from any spatio-temporal reference and in this sense gains access to transcendence

Full textRelying on traditional paradoxes that theology defined from an angelic essence, the poetry of the twentieth century expresses a universal fascination towards angels. This attraction appears all the more curious as it applies to all observable poetic sensibilities. In addition, these practices turn out to be so diverse and contradictory that angelic appearance acquire a radically original property to withstand any intention of the author, and the even more curious one to escape the immediate intentions of a poet, developing a secondary speech of its own. The angel marks a way of speech in which different instances of poetic discourse coexist in a still unindividuated relation. The angelic messenger indicates the precise moment when the inner chaos of a subject is transformed into articulate language . This exploration of the angelic phenomenon will be divided into three steps, each dedicated to a different corpus. The study of the angel as a visual figure will explore the many variations from an apparition to another, motivated by hesitations of religious, temporal, civilizational, political and aesthetic kind, as they appear in the poetic works of Guillaume Apollinaire for the French literature, and those of Odysseus Elytis in the Greek linguistic area. The analysis of the angel as a support of an intimate relationship of the subject to itself more broadly interrogate the Austro-German poetic experiences on the one hand, the Mexican on the other hand. Eventually, two attempts to form an angelic language in French poetry will be considered, through the respective major works of Patrice de La Tour du Pin and Christian Gabriel/le Guez-Ricord

Full textIn Seamus Heaney's poetry, as often in Irish literature, the sense of identity is linked to the sense of place. When the poet depicts Mossbawn, the family farm where he spent his childhood, or his cottage in Glanmore, his various descriptions are necessarily influenced by his imagination; he therefore poeticizes space. However, throughout his work, Seamus Heaney also broaches more theoretical conceptions of space; that is to say he also poeticizes his own personal space, or his relationships to others, thanks to spatial metaphors. His work revolves around the notion of identity which he defines in several ways; in preoccupations, he talks of the "definition of the self" (136-37), or in the government of the tongue he refers to Jung’s theory on individuation (107). Thus we have tried to study this search for identity -which, sometimes, suffers setbacks- in relation to space

Full textWhy do Jean Arceneaux, Deborah Clifton and David Cheramie – three francophone poets from Louisiana – choose to represent themselves as the monster in their poetry? The comparative study of their works Cris sur le bayou, Suite du loup, A cette heure, la louve and Lait à mère reveals the existence of a special location in between their different texts the poets themselves imagine as " the wolves' country ", where the wanderings of their poetical doubles draw the bases of a new American myth.The splitting and setting of the different alter ego of the writer in a poetical process of " linguistic schizophrenia ", the throwing of one’s own picture as a monstrous figure in order to recolonize a textual space turned into a poetical non-place before becoming a substitute body for the poet, the carnivalesque game in which the text now a palimpsest represents a superposition of masks that betrays the existence of a hidden literary world, the aesthetic of the wolf-like gait and the proliferation of a formal monstrosity, these are the poetical artifacts used by our writers in a strategy game to express themselves. Thus, keeping to a form of secret thought, their works present inverted social, aesthetic and linguistic values, allowing the emptiness and silent specific to alienation to become the materials to set out for an amnesic exploration in order to rehabilitate one’s own self.As they define themselves by this deformity written down in the texts, our poets seem to have invented and conquered again a French language ten times more powerful that makes of the “Other one” the anglophone they fear, the dumbfounded accomplice of a poetical ritual of deconstruction and self-gestation
Poupon, Frédéric. "Trois poètes du sauvage : Robinson Jeffers, Gary Snyder et Kenneth White." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020BOR30012.
Full textPoetry and ecology enjoy a deep relation relationship with scientific discourse usually thwarts. Yet, poetry expands our imaginary powers. In the United States, Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) sings of the wild beauty of the Californian coast in his short poems. Following in his steps, another Californian, Gary Snyder (1930-), settled in the Sierra mountains, pursues a literary oeuvre he started at the beginning of the Beat Generation. Being a true man of the mountains, his poems and essays question the issues raised by a poetical ecology. For Robinson Jeffers and Gary Snyder, “the wild” is a key notion, descending from H. D. Thoreau. Their literary works deal with life “in the wilderness”, life in the open air, in proximity with beasts, rocks, and men. Do France and Europe have such a poetical tradition? Writer Kenneth White (1936-), born in Scotland, is a French poet writing in English who is part of this literary school, which he calls “geopoetics”. His literary enterprise is most definitely oriented towards the natural, geographical spaces and the books that celebrate them. White is a link that allows the fitting of a poetry that refuses to be totally invaded by that which is entirely Terrestrial, in a comparatist approach. By studying the rapport between poems and space (Part I), we have found that they were in line with an American poetry history, where such figureheads as Ezra Pound, Charles Olson and William Carlos Williams are dominant. These three poets make aesthetic choices we must examine and distinguish between (Part II). As it happens, Jeffers’, Snyder’s and White’s poems reveal that a form of poetry that cares about ecology leads to an ecology of poetry, born in specific loci, developing in a specific climate, just as wild plant, a beast, an Indian, a Japanes monk or an American cowboy would. Poetry’s oïkos is the Earth ; the call of wild poetry is to offer new life – a wild paideia, perhaps (Part III)

Full textThe only consensus around the question of contemporary women poetry is that of its diversity: the themes and forms of the poems written by women are almost as varied as the origins of the poets themselves. Diversity is also one of the aspects underlined by most of the publications on the subject of humour. The term applies to so many phenomena that it is virtually impossible to reduce it to a final definition. Yet it is precisely because humour is so difficult to define that it constitutes a particularly appropriate prism to approach contemporary women poetry. Humour is by essence “transgender”. It subverts social order as well as instances of real or symbolical power, and challenges sexual and generic identities. Unsurprisingly, women poets have seen it as a choice weapon to attack received opinions and stereotypes, especially when those aim at defining femininity. Humour should therefore be considered as a form of writing, or rather a set of forms, expressing a specific positioning and operating on the level of enunciation, reception, rhetoric and prosody. This posture, which can be interpreted as irreverence, incongruity or difference, testifies of the complex ties women have established with the poetic tradition. But to do so, women have also developed strategies which enable them to explore common knowledge and accepted truths, and thus redefine the contours of contemporary poetry

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 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 textManuel Vazquez Montalban wrote nine collections of poems between 1962 and 2003. Often ignored by the public and recent anthologies, this aspect is however essential to understand the symbolical universe of the author from Barcelona as well as his ethical and aesthetical conception of the world around him. The “senior” of the “novisimos”, as José Maria Castellet put it, sets himself apart from the other poets of his generation by accepting a cultural heritage, popular as well as literary. Never at odds with the world, but always on the fringe of predominant artistic movements, the poet creates his own world where intimate and collective memory mingle and where desire rhymes with utopia. The lay out of the words on the page, within the actual verse and on a larger scale throughout the poem, leads the poet to define a form, that is to say his own independent system of writing, expressing his search for a new language. The author from Barcelona thus “draws” his poetical self-portrait, answering the three questions once asked by Paul Gauguin about man’s destiny: “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?”

Full textOne can’t approach a text without a series of presupposed knowledge determining the idea one makes about language, meaning, text, literature, the writer and reading. A whole ensemble of unformulated ideas influences the experience of the text one can have. Then, an image of what literature is or supposed to be operates secretly in the reader’s mind - limiting the spectrum of experiences. We believe that image proceeds from a certain critical science, successor of a philosophical tradition enhancing knowledge above all. Literature is then enslaved by the cognitive project of the community. We wished to propose a new way of approaching the text - so we could unbridle the possible connections to it. A pragmatic and empiric approach more concerned by the ethical and existential benefit of the literature encounter than by a conceptual understanding of what the work may be. Not wondering what the text means but what one can do with it. We studied the relationship between three poets (Artaud, Michaux, du Bouchet) and painting, trying to demonstrate that their relation to language is asking for a new way of reading (concerned with perceptive and affective consequences). Our thesis is both criticizing a certain dominant perspective on literature (conventionalism, hermeneutic, phenomenology...) and proposing by the means of different angles (philosophers, painters, poets, judaic tradition...) a new field of experience

Full textFrom the collection A Boy’s Will (1913) to the collection In the Clearing (1962), the works of American poet Robert Frost (1874-1963) can be viewed as a reflection on the concept of deviation, presenting it as a major principle in his aesthetics and writing strategy. This doctoral dissertation provides a close reading of many poems, with a view to highlighting the highly seminal quality of the Frostian theme of the slight deviation, which allows one to rethink the dialectic between the center and the margins at different levels of analysis. This dialectic appears not only in the poetic representation of North American space, but also in the established connection between the texts and the metaphorical space of the canon, as well as in the ambiguous presentation of the poetic figure in relation to the intimate, social or political spheres. We wish to show that the poet together with the multiple personae that he uses in the collected poems, favor a specific vantage point, a detached position which is neither in the center nor completely in the margin, but rather within the limits delineated by some deviation. This slightly withdrawn position, which is both dispassionate and perilous, sketches out a triple self-portrait of the poet. It is the self-portrait of an artist for whom the tension between tradition and modernity, between fixed forms and free poetic experiments, creates a complicated but fertile position which allows Frost to position himself both within, and slightly on the margin of, the genre of pastoral poetry. Frost's poems also depict the portrait of a moving poetic figure in the New England landscape, a figure who is put, because of his attempts at settling in certain territories, in a situation where neighbors are both aware and wary of each other. Lastly, the poems could be regarded as the self-portrait of an American posturing as a marginal figure in the skillful staging of his own iconization
