Abstract:

Formal and cultural analyses of The Wizard of Oz (Victor Fleming, 1939) indicate that Dorothy's passage from Kansas, through Oz and back to Kansas symbolically recapitulates paradigmatic stories of both America (the nation's passage from utopian origin, through history, to utopian destiny) and Christianity (the cosmic passage from paradisian origin, through history, to paradisian destiny). In order to "go home" (the explicit theme), Dorothy must "grow up" (the implicit theme); this link is also paralleled symbolically at both national and cosmic levels.

Abstract:

Les œuvres de Neil Gaiman sont souvent qualifiées de postmodernes dans la mesure où elles lient expérimentation et autoréflexivité à une démarche de fiction populaire qui leur paraît antagoniste. A l’inverse d'une œuvre postmoderniste typique, qui met en avant sa mise à nu des mécanismes fabulateurs, les métafictions et les parodies gaimaniennes restent des fictions fantastiques et merveilleuses où les enjeux fabulateurs (psychologie et parcours des personnages, intrigue, émotion et suspens) gardent leur place primordiale. Elles ne sont donc pas des œuvres expérimentales mêlées d'éléments de f

Abstract:

Unrealistic representations of love have rarely been studied across popular music genres. The lyrics of the top songs in five of the most popular genres (Country, Hip Hop/R&B, Pop, Rap, and Rock) during the periods of 1991-1995 and 2011-2015 were coded for specific love myths. The results of the study show that the overall average of love myths found in popular music genres remain consistent over time. More specifically, based on the amount of myths per song, there was an average of .7056 myths per song in the 1990s and an average of .7504 myths per song in the 2010s. However, there are si

Abstract:

The popular myth of Cornish wrecking is well-known within British culture, but there has not been a comprehensive, systematic inquiry to separate out the layers of the myth from the actual practices. This study rectifies this omission by examining wrecking activity as reported in popular sources and traditional tales; deconstructing the most widely believed elements; illuminating the complexity of the practices; and investigating the process of myth-making which sustained the image of the wrecker in popular consciousness. It suggests that violent wrecking was not nearly as widespread and invid

This thesis concerns the function of fiction in the creation of an historical myth and the uses that that myth is put to in a number of periods and differing régimes. Its case study is the popular myth of August the Strong (1670-1733), Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, as a man of extraordinary sexual prowess and the ruler over a magnificent, but frivolous, court in Dresden. It examines the origins of this myth in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century, and its development up to the twenty-first century in German history writing, fiction, art, and media.

Moreover, the image of the cowboy has permeated popular culture and fine art.

Abstract:

It is now well-known that The King and I has little claim to truth.

Yet her life of fantasy has been resurrected in countless adaptations, including the 1951 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical and its 2015 revival production, that ceaselessly draw audiences.

Modern stories are the product of a recursive process influenced by elements of genre, outside content, medium, and more. These stories exist in a multitude of forms and are transmitted across multiple media.

Through an examination of the polymediated nature of modern narratives, we explore the complicated nature of modern storytelling.

Annie Proulx’s three Wyoming short story collections, Close Range, Bad Dirt, and Fine Just the Way It Is, tell regional stories that push against the myths surrounding the American West. Elements of Naturalism in her work reverse the paradigm of man’s dominance over the frontier. The cyclical nature of time in her stories shows the unfulfilling nature of nostalgia. She uses folk storytelling techniques to take an insider’s perspective and to utilize the subversive nature of dark humor.

Since before recorded history, werewolves have captivated human imagination. Simultaneously, they represent our deepest fears as well as our desire to connect with our primal ancestry.

De nos jours, les avatars et les réécritures du mythe du Graal puisent leur source d'inspiration dans la Littérature puisque la première mention littéraire de ce schème apparaît à la fin du XIIeme siècle dans Perceval ou le conte du Graal de Chrétien de Troyes. De par des origines ambivalentes (païennes et chrétiennes), le Graal s'est ancré dans l'imaginaire collectif comme un mythe rédempteur ou tout du moins, étant un idéal à atteindre. Si la quête médiévale chevaleresque demande une rigueur incomparable et une pureté d'âme et de corps pour mériter la révélation des mystères du Saint Calice

Abstract:

Nous tentons de montrer que l'usage de la langue savante exprime l'idéologie classique et entend traduire la continuité de l'histoire grecque, la langue populaire devenant aussi une arme de lutte nationale. Puis nous examinons comment l'irrédentisme des Chypriotes, leur désir d'intégration à la Grèce ainsi que leur attachement à l'identité grecque à travers des événements majeurs s'articulent à la Grande Idée. Ce qui nous conduit à expliquer le rôle du mythe puisque, pour évoquer l'Histoire et ses héros, les poètes ressuscitent des situations et des personnages de légende afin de déjouer la ce

Abstract:

Le but de ce travail est d'analyser les représentations des pirates dans la culture populaire anglophone, représentations qui s'inspirent en premier lieu d'un contexte historique et tendent à montrer les pirates comme des révoltés aux prétentions démocratisantes face aux puissances absolutistes, faisant de l'élection un principe maître qui fait écho à différentes visions de l'implication politique des XXe et XXIe siècles. En parallèle se développe la notion d'une attirance inévitable pour la piraterie due aux liens du sang, un héritage qui mène souvent à diverses formes d'hybridation en mettan

Abstract:

J'ai voulu étudier un phénomène qui sous-tend l'écriture de la littérature spéculative (science-fiction et fantasy) aujourd'hui : la création d'un « monde secondaire », selon l'expression de J.R.R. Tolkien. Deux problèmes se posaient de prime abord. Premièrement, l'ensemble culturel et éditorial que recouvre l'expression « littérature spéculative » est relativement flou, du fait des problèmes de délimitation des genres et de la problématique culturelle plus générale (la littérature spéculative est-elle définie par des motifs littéraires, ou par l'appareil culturel qui l'entoure ?).

Abstract:

L'etude ethnographique des rituels contemporains permet de mettre en evidence la permanence des croyances collectives inscrites dans le culte de saint hubert. Depuis plus de dix siecles et dans une vaste aire geographique, le saint des ardennes combine autour de sa figure legendaire les images de la chasse, de la rage et de la possession. L'exploration de ces images fait ressortir une pensee symbolique globale construite sur le scheme de la circulation du sang noir. Cet imaginaire du sauvage fixe toujours a l'epoque moderne la trame des attitudes mentales et des comportements sociaux lies a la

Abstract:

Fleuron du photojournalisme américain du XXe siècle qui connaît son apogée pendant les années 1950, le magazine Life jouit d'une aura prestigieuse qui en fait une entité iconique de la presse périodique illustrée et de la culture américaine du XXe siècle. Classiquement convoqué dans la littérature en sa qualité de parangon d'un genre de presse modélisant des pratiques éditoriales, Life endosse également jouer un rôle de « mémoire visuelle » de la société américaine du XXe siècle. La présente thèse intègre ce statut emblématique de Life, à la croisée de deux champs d'investigations distincts qu

Si « Rock » dans le monde occidental est marqué par ses traits subversifs et politiques à certaines périodes historiques spécifiques pour être ensuite entièrement récupérée par la raison marchande, son histoire a été prolongée avec son appropriation environ trente ans après en République Populaire de Chine. Ainsi, le Yaogun, dénomination commune du Rock en Chine est depuis son émergence imbriqué dans la constitution d'une « nouvelle Chine socialiste » calquée sur le modèle de « l'État-nation » : « une démarche mimétique par rapport au système occidental, un système, couplé d’idéologies, qui s’

Abstract:

Dans la littérature de la Corne de l’Afrique d’expression française, on assiste très souvent à l’image caricaturée des personnages féminins qui sont engagés dans un quotidien difficile à vivre. Aussi bien dans les textes de Waberi que dans ceux de Nuruddin Farah, les personnages féminins sont constamment en fuite pour échapper au destin tragique d’une existence douloureuse où la misère morale et matérielle constitue un obstacle majeur. Si l’un des facteurs qui tend les personnages féminins vers une marginalisation effective est en rapport avec un espace acariâtre, dominé « par la volonté assas

Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous nous intéressons aux représentations de la sorcière dans la littérature d’inspiration historique à partir des années 1970. Nous analysons la construction de cette figure protéiforme et les métamorphoses qu’elle connaît dans l’imaginaire social lors des dernières décennies du XXe siècle. Plus précisément, nous examinons les différentes facettes de la sorcière, telles qu’elles apparaissent dans quatre romans francophones d’inspiration historique, en relation avec les discours historiques, féministes et postcoloniaux, et les autres productions culturelles de la

Nous avons cru, lors de la présente étude, bon de revenir aux origines linguistiques universelles orales de la révolution française, origines situées au niveau de la parole en tant que signe à la fois endogène et exogène. Le conte demeure le véritable détenteur de l'échange linguistique entre les générations humaines mortes et vivantes ; il est dénonciateur de situations sociales et régulateur de tensions. Le conte agit aussi sur le réel en le retraduisant toujours selon l'assouvissement d'un besoin et la révolution en constitue le meilleur exemple<br>In this study, we felt it necessary to go
