Raynié, Florence. "Lope de Vega prosateur." Toulouse 2, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005TOU20096.
Full textIn this thesis concerned with Lope de Vega's narrative prose fiction —or to be precise, a pastoral novel, La Arcadia (1598), a Byzantine novel, El peregrino en su patria (1604), a pastoral novel “a lo divino”, Pastores de Belén (1612) and a collection of short novels, Las Novelas a Marcia Leonarda (1621 and 1624)— we endeavour to bring to the fore the functionning of the author's prose writings beyond generic considerations. The first part of the thesis aims to show how Lopean narrative is constantly confronted with perturbations arising from two concerns: the modes of composition and the inclusion of types of discourse that we have described as “heterogeneous”. In the second part we study these heterogeneous discourses from the inside, highlighting their function in the works, before questioning, in the last chapter, the notion of “digression” that has been often used, and misused, by those critics that have studied Lope's works
Cuenca-Godbert, Marta. "Le prosimètre dans la littérature espagnole du Siècle d'Or." Bordeaux 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008BOR30038.
Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to show the interest of placing texts of the Spanish Golden Age which alternate prose and verse under the name prosimetrum. We define this term in literary history and delimit its contours between the notions of genre and style. The prosimetrum’s genealogy and poetic properties lead us to put forward a common system of operation which functions throughout its evolution and which is suitable for all types of prosimetrum typology. In the works alternating prose and verse in the Spanish Golden Age, there is sporadic and timely identification of the reasons for the emergence of these two forms of writing, which implies an indirect recognition of the prosimetrum. The purpose is to analyse these works in the light of the organizing principles encountered in prosimetric writing. To that end, we dealt with a set of fifteen fictional texts in three phases: (a) macrostructural observation of the composition of each work, determining the proportion of prose and verse and the particularities of composition; (b) detailed study of the alternation of prose and verses in a prototypical work (La Dorotea by Lope de Vega); and (c) panoramic study of the corpus, following the different functions of the prosimetrum, which allows to highlight the evolution of this kind of writing

Full textThe present study examines the renewal of the genre of secular biography in 17th-century Spain. Wishing from then on to invent history, the authors of Lives of illustrious men gave their narratives a new mission : unveiling the secret causes of history. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the unprecedented relationship that biography - a genre particularly popular from the beginning of Phillip IV's reign on - established between history and fiction. I shall demonstrate that biography-writing reinvents itself by venturing into the territories of political and moral fiction, without, by so doing, departing from the field of historiography. Above all, this investigation addresses the generic redefinition of biographies, which allowed for the merging of factual narration and theoretical discourse. I also examine the new modes of representing figures of power and the discovery of a neglected historical object : the expression of the inner self. Based on a literary point of view, my generic study of the Lives aims at exploring the pœtics of personal history in Golden Age Spain
Martial, Isabela. "Ironie, parodie et discours obliques dans trois œuvres du cycle de senectute de Lope de Vega, La Doretea, La Gatomaquia et Las Rimas de Burguillos." Paris 10, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA100036.
Full textWe have studied the different uses of irony, parody and oblique speeches in Lope de Vega’s La Dorotea, La Gatomaquia and Las Rimas de Burguillos. Lope produces these works at the dusk of his life when he understands that he will not receive any official recognition and he wants to offer writings that will give evidence of his genius. The critical reception of these works confirms that they are Lope’s literary testaments. In them Lope adopts a profoundly reflexive and analytical posture. Oblique speeches are the main instrument of the author’s contemplation. Through them Lope studies the contemporary literary production, the way his age relates to the past and the status of a classical imagery (petrarquism, pastoral poetry and epic literature are the subjects of his analysis). Lope indicates that traditional representation systems have become fossilized and he questions the role of imitation in art. Through irony and parody he also tackles the ongoing debate on fiction; he reflects on the nature of the relationship that links literature to reality. He eventually points out the literary dimension of his writings and designates them as works of fiction. Lope therefore is answering back to Gongora and Cervantes in his testaments. Like them, he shows that it is no longer posible to imitate the classical models. He also reflects on the status of books like Cervantes in the Quichotte and ends up accepting the artistic and subjective nature of his work. Lope and his rivals express a breakdown; recent discoveries and religious events have changed the apprehension of the past. Creation can no longer rely on the imitation of models and the status of literature is the subject of many controversies. Through oblique speeches, Lope represents this crisis
Bouchiba-Fochesato, Isabelle. "La poétique de l'interlocution dans les "Comedias" de Tirso de Molina." Bordeaux 3, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006BOR30070.
Full textThe author of this thesis aims, in the first part, at proving there are specific conversational codes in the plays both bound to the sociodramatic status of the characters concerned (kings and queens) and to their poetic status (gallants/paramours and ladies). Starting at the top of the dramatis personae pyramid (the royals) down to its basis (the rustics), each occurrence of abords and pronouns is analysed / deciphered to show how far they participate in the construction of an inner hierarchy of exchanges - both sociodramatic and aesthetic. In the second part, the object under study is how far these codes can resist or be adapted when various statuses come to meet. Every case in point that appears in Tirso's plays is examined and it thus blatantly appears that when pronouns and abords vary in turn, it is always in accordance with a logic that has little to do with sociohistorical verisimilitude. Quite on the contrary, it answers a poetic and aesthetic demand, which puts the reader-audience in the position of the privileged addressee of the dialogues and the speech variations that structure them. Eventually, the third part deals with a study specifically concentrated on the secret/hidden structuring relationship that exists between Tirso's personal conventions in exchanges and the building of a recurring - and fascinating, too - character: the man behind a mask. It appears yet again that pronouns and abords will work at two levels of dramatic exchange: the dialogue that the characters have and the dialogue the playwright initiates with his audience. The pronouns used in the abords are at the same time a confirmation of the wearing of a mask - the character, when he addresses others, will speak a language that suits the mask he has donned and, by the same token, will follow the adapted code in the exchanges - and a sign of the masquerade, dramatic as well, thanks to subtle variations and undermining perversions of the code the masked man, willingly or unwillingly, will create

Kaufmant, Marie-Eugénie. "Poétique des espaces naturels dans la Comedia Nueva." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040104.
Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to define the manifestations and evolution of the poetics of natural spaces (mainly sea, « monte » - both mount and wood in spanish - , and a particular space linked with these, the « quinta ») in the spanish comedia nueva. The analysis is based on a corpus of fifty-six plays dated between 1595 and 1650, in which Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina and Calderón de la Barca are represented equally. The plan respects the different levels of definition of theatrical poetics as the entire creative process that surrounds the use of these dramatic spaces. The first part studies spatial typology and symbolism : these spaces are subject to poetic codes which turn them into stereotyped scenes for actions repeated from play to play throughout the evolution of the comedia nueva. The second part analyses the dramatization of two stereotyped actions of the « monte », hunt and lost way. Such actions become dynamic from a dramatic point of view, which proves the dramatic function of this space in the comedia nueva beyond spatial typology. The third part considers the different forms of representation of sea and « monte », from staging in comercial theatres of the time to symbolic and emblematic representation. This study leads to the analysis of a natural dramatic topography in which the comedia gives a symbolic image of some of its poetic concepts

Full textThis thesis is a critical edition of the agonia del transito de la muerte by alejo venegas de busto (1498 or 99 -1562). Up to now, we only had recourse to old, difficult-to-find editions, of which the most recent, found in the nueva biblioteca de autores espanoles (madrid, 1911) contains transcriptional errors and does not have any critical apparatus. The edition which has been used dates from 1543 and is considered as the best text of the agonia. It has been modernized and complemented by diverse notes: some explain the proper names, theological aspects, syntactical forms particular to the golden age and contemporary vocabulary; some specify the original sources of inspiration for the agonia and the texts which derived from it; others provide a list of the different variations. As an addition to these notes, there is a list of the themes of the oeuvre as well as two indexes: one for terms and expressions, the other for proper names. This work contains diverse annexes among which can be found the breve declaracion de las sentencias y vocablos oscuros que en el libro del transito de la muerte se hallan. . . (a text which venegas published for the first time in 1543, which recapitulates the contents of the agonia and clarifies certain points) and several facsimiles (frontispieces of different editions, licencias accorded for their publication and significant passages of the work)
Alcoba, Laura. "La question du regard dans le viaje de turquia." Paris 3, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999PA030011.
Full textViewing the turkish world in the viaje de turquia is supposedly based on the witness' personal experience. The high value given to experience allows to derive from personal judgement new valuation criteria of the viewing. But this also underlines the viewer's loneliness. This very loneliness conditions the possibility of a knowledge emancipated from third parties' influence. Hence, the viewing has a value not only for itself but as a means for further analysis

Full textGóngora’s poetry enables us to saver the Real and in particular the beauty of the natural world. This thesis attempts to explore the making of Góngora’s “poetry of matter”. It, first, draws up a list and classifies the different names of materials that appear in Góngora’s poems. The description is first chronological and then thematic, when it deals with a systematic analysis of the names of precious stones. Then, in a second time, we come to wonder, in a more theoretical way, how relevant the notion of “metaphor” is; indeed this concept is used indiscriminately to analyse Góngora’s poetry. Eventually, the third part is dedicated to analysing the materiality of Góngora’s poetical language, in so far as we formulate the hypothesis that the first impression we had, that of a sensitive immediacy of the Real, is due to a specific effort to work on linguistic signifiers

Full textJosé Perez de Montoro (Játiva, 1627-Cadix, 1694), who wrote essentially in the second half of the XVIIth century, was a poet of academies and court. The public vocation of his poetry deeply marked his writing. To show its characteristics, we limited our approach to the study of epidictic, funeral and epic peotries, exclusively dedicated to members of the aristocracy and the royalty. The analyse of the religious poetry, which concern the penitential and circumstantial compositions, bring us to prpose an exhaustive study of the villancico. If the previous parts indicated philosophical attitudes relatively different from those of baroque authors, the one devoted to the poetic writing shows a predominance of romance, the development of the contamination of the styles, the mechanical concepto and the influence of oral poetry, and a defense of the clear writing. The Pérez de Montoro's poetry apperas as one of the first step in the evolution to the neoclassiacl poetry

Full textThis comparative study of twelve french 17th century tragi-comediesby hardy, rotrou, pichou, scudery, sallebray and guerin de bouscal- and their ten spanish narrative sources -short stories and novels by cervantes, agerda y vargas, cespedes y meneses and feliciano de silvadeals with the implications of the inspirational re-creational process in the transposition from the genre of fiction to that of tragi comedy, and from one language to the other. The drawing of a constant parallel between the works throws a light first on the borrowings from their spanish models on the part of the french playwrights through the uses to which they put themes that eminently belong to fiction ; then on the part of creation in the way the matter is rearanged in tragicomedies following the rules governing the latter genre. Inventiveness can also be found in the way episodes or characters from the original works are reduced or developed. As far as writing technique is concerned, creation is to be found in the solutions brought to the problem of transposing works from a genre meant to be read into works from a genre meant to be watched -i. E. From diegesis to mimesis. As far as ideology is concerned, the parallel

Full textThis work consists of three parts, an introduction which distinguishes the different terms pertaining to monstrosity, and a conclusion. The first part is organised as an inventory of fabulous creatures (non- composite monsters, composite monsters, the monster dynamic : spontaneous generation and uncommon births). The second part (interpretation) is dedicated to the study of "'rational" motifs capable of explaining the existence of fabulous creatures, followed by a study of mentalities which attempts to shed light on the phantasms these unique beings reveal. The chapter dealing with the metamorphosis in four works of cervantes (theatre, novel, don quijote and persiles} offers concrete illustrations of the previously mentioned rational motifs and irrational phantasms. The last part entitled "three projections of the monstrous" endeavours to analyse the essence of the monstrous in lyrical poetry (gongora), theatre (calderon : comedy, mythological comedy, the auto sacramental), and allegorical prose (gracian and el criticon). The conclusion articulates the principal commentaries inspired by the different aspects of the thesis, demonstrates that fabulous creatures continue to prosper after 1650, and suggests several new possibilities for research

Full textAt the end of the 1630s France saw the appearance of a new type of comedy: the so-called comédie ‘à l’espagnole’. It developed when plays of the Spanish Siglo de Oro were put on stage in French theatres. The extraordinary nature of the comédie ‘à l’espagnole’ lies in its belonging to two cultures: born in Spain and transplanted to France, it unites characteristics of both cultures. These characteristics do not exist separately but connect, merge, and, thus, undergo a process of transculturation. This results in the emergence of new elements – transcultural elements – which did not exist in this form in either of the two original theatre traditions. This study analyzes the comédie ‘à l’espagnole’ from a transcultural point of view. By describing its development, the study establishes transcultural elements which identify the comédie ‘à l’espagnole’ as a distinct and unique subgenre of French comedy

Their attraction comes into collision with the language, the "germanía", and his structure, the "conceptismo of germanía". First, we had to check the validity of the textes that had to be anotated and so, ask the question of the choice of the most trustworthy text and the review of his variants. Otherwise, Quevedo espresses a non-conformst ideology that we have called "dramaturgique picaresque". Our work has two parts. Before, we present an introduction with the question of the corpus, the attributions, the datations and the most trustworthy text. The first part in a study of the "jácara" in general and of the Quevedo's "jácaras" particularity. The second part presents the text with the anotations og the meaning. At the end of this second part we give the list of variants. The conclusion shows the advantages of our edition in comparation with the others before

Full textThis study concerns the female character in the spanish short story of the 17th century. The considered corpus includes thirty short stories published between 1621 and 1663, years after the publication of novelas ejemplares (1613). Reflecting the maturity and the degeneracy of a literary genre in vogue during the 17th century, each title from the selected short stories includes a reference to the female character. This work envisions the female character as it appears in the narratives, which, as suggested by their titles, emphasizes their role as the weaker sex. Based on texts difficult to reduce to a simple definition, this research begins by analysing the short story as a genre. Then, it pursues the different meanings inherent within the titles. After having studied the question of the character, this work attempts to explain the web of female images connecting one short story to the other. Through this web an expected figure reveals itself: the aristocratic heroine. Though, sometimes the short stories accentuates negatively other heroines within non-aristocratic groups. The comparison of the different representations of the female shows how the post-cervantine short story meant to promote the elite at the expense of the minorities. In conclusion, even if the characters spoke the language of love, the analaysis of the female discourse demonstrates that they spoke through the language of an idealised aristocracy

Full textThe purpose of this research has been to identify and analyse the discursive ways of representing the speaker in the love poetry of Quevedo. The obvious recurrence, on the one hand and, on the other, the role ascribed to the speaker in the structure of the poems have led me to consider these strategies as the backbone of the compact, vivid and conceptual style of the poet. I have therefore endeavoured to establish the part played by this "I" character which repeatedly puts itself forward and makes its voice heard. The lyrical element, traditionally turned towards the celebration of the Beloved, abandons the traditional images of love in order to become the instrument of a narcissistic process turned inwards to its own language. After a first theoretical part explaining the terms and concepts used in the thesis, I have concentrated on three characteristic ways of representing Quevedo's poetic "I": first, the types of identification of the speaker with different images - water and fire in particular, both subject to a peculiar metaphorical expression. Second, the relationship "I"-"you" in order to point out the discursive means by which the speaker uses the receiver to his own purposes. Finally, on the basis of the oneiric representations of the subject or the expression of the frustrations inherent in the love pattern imposed during the Golden Age, I have pointed out the paradoxical forms taken by this kind of verbal narcissism which could be considered as a possible definition of Quevedo's style

Full textThis study approaches forty plays by Lope de Vega which have 16th and 17th centuries' Madrid as their scenery. Beyond the misconceptions caused by positivistic readings of the plays, on one side, and those caused by moralizing views on the other, the purpose of this research is to analyze the dramatic functions of urban space in those plays. The Court plays an indirect role in the unfolding of the plots of the capa y espada plays, namely in the parallel between monuments and characters, in the complicity of open spaces in love affairs, and in the interaction of interior and exterior spaces. Urban spaces contribute to the rising of an ethics based upon the poetics of the heart by the inversion of the image of the city, which becomes a place of corruption and greed. Such an image of Madrid as a city is idealized and stands well apart from the dangers of the real city. The city is represented as a bucollic scenery, a forest, or a sea of love on which the characters of the plays set sail

In the third part, an assessment is made of this functionnalistic analysis of the spanish comedy : it is possible to define a few archetypical figures for male and female characters, and to explain their relationships thanks to the notion of sequence. The study concludes with a hypothesis of historical and formal evolution
Peyrebonne, Nathalie. "La table et les aliments dans les dialogues et le theatre du xvie siecle espagnol." Paris 3, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA030146.
Full textDuring the sixteenth century meals and food in spain took on a new importance in daily life as well as in literature, especially in the theatre and dramatic dialogue. Eating, speaking, and writing became seemly intertwined. In the literature of the period, meals are introduced as a setting in order to facilitate the flow of words and the elaboration of ideas; these ideas as a whole are accordingly themselves savoured like a culinary delicacy. Through the "lens" of meals and food a series of essential issues present themselves. These include, most notably, the theme of the creation of literature as well as its reading. The preparation of the meal and the setting of the table allows man to present himself in all his glory, to affirm his own mastery, and even to transcend himself. On the other hand, it is around the table, that man often can sees himself degenerate through the annihilation of his most human qualities. Indeed, the ambiguity and unlimited possibilities of the feast typify the renaissance consciousness of the possibilities - and limits - inherent in the human condition

Full textAlgiers in Golden Age yields the image of a human time cloaked in myths but also influenced by historic reality. To the natural golden age echoes the golden imagery of an opulent corsair city whom the sea bestowed a general prosperity and a vitality that was to last until 1648. Trapped in the web of a conflicting history with the Christian world, haunted by the spectre of disavowal and moorish danger, often reduced to slavery, Algiers is the subject of an imaginary flood which leads up to the birth of a black legend. In capturing the fears of the Christian world, the representation of Algiers opens on to a new hell fraught with devilish creatures. An extra-ordinary time-space marked by an array of phenomena sets the limits of a surnatural sphere. Algiers' counter-nature becomes a school for perfecting. It is the era of martyrdom. A golden legend rooted in christian misfortunes and the spanish awareness of a manifest and messianic destiny in the making. The eschatologic projectious bringing to life the allegorical theatre of the last judgement use Algiers as a backdrop to metaphysical issues according to a revealed chronology. In between human time and divine time, for chirstian Spain, the corsair city appears as the salvation path turning temporal evil into eternal good

Full textSpanish fascist propaganda has relied on historical myths in order to legitimate the National-Catholic ideology of the regime. What have these myths become after Franco's death ? This thesis investigates the image of the Golden Age offered in Spanish historical novels written after 1975. Considering that the relationship between a literay text and ideology can only be grasped through a process of recontextualization, we offer an overview of several interpretations of the Golden Age itself, as those that can be found in the history of ideas, in the Spanish historical novel prior to 1975 and we also try to sketch a general picture of the social-historical context of postmodernity and postfranquism. We then examine in a sociological approach the vision transmitted by the paratext of sixty novels as well as by the interviews we conducted with about fifteen authors. Finally, we offer an analysis of six novels representative of the last quarter of the Twentieth Century

Full textA detailed analysis of Quevedo's 502 sonnets is provided in part I and part II, which makes it possible to appreciate the originality of his style more thoroughly. The discovery and accurate expression of analogy seem to lie at the very heart of the poet's concerns and activity. A statistical study of the tropes and figures shows how the style varies according to the theme of each sonnet, and reveals the richness of Quevedo's art. Ideas and feelings are indissolubly linked and the poet's ego discloses itself with delicacy. Stylistic phenomena determine the construction of the concepto, and are adequately and harmoniously seated in the sonnets’ form. The statistical results thus obtained are next used, in the third part, to address the problems of attribution and dating raised by Quevedo's poetry: his art is best characterized, on the one hand, by a certain number of constants and, on the other hand, by a specific evolution from the beginning to the end of his creative work. It has thus been possible to establish different degrees of probability for the attribution of six sonnets which are known from one single manuscript. Moreover, as far as chronology is concerned, more precised dates are put forth for 77 sonnets as well as an approximate localization within one the poet's four main periods for 273 sonnets which had never been dated hitherto

Full textIn Spain, Gil Blas results from two simultaneous encounters: the first with the literary genius of father Francisco of Isla; the second with Spanish history and literature. Our research is a study of a perspective on and a literary and ideological manipulation of Lesage's novel, and it is organized along three lines. The first is factual and statistical. It assesses the success of the novel in its translation (or adaptation), based on a comprehensive bibliographical compilation, an analysis of its readers, and the search for a possible progeny. The second one analyses the working of the appropriation process which lies at the root of Hispanic identification and adhesion and thus forms the keystone of the insertion of Gil Blas into literary history and collective cultural memory. The study considers the published Spanish text (comparative study between Isla's translation -or rather re-creation-, its eventual corrections and the original story) and its surroundings, i. E. A new approach of the Gil Blas question. The third one considers this process from an external point of view, in its relationship with Spanish society, history and literature. Gil Blas finds its place in this tradition as a pretext in a quarrel for the honor of Spain in response to the patronizing attitude of enlightened Europe. And Isla's version becomes the literary missing link which will allow Spain to continue its novel-writing tradition

Full textThis work, dealing with the writing of morals in Mateo Alemán's Guzmán de Alfarache, is composed of three parts. The first part focuses on the poetics of Mateo Alemán's text by confronting it successively with Gracián's Agudeza y arte de ingenio (chapter 1), with the Odyssey (chapter 2) and with the episode of the galley slaves in the Quijote (chapter 3). This comparative method allows us to better identify the coherence of Guzmán's discourse and to consider the unity of his own itinerary. Afterwards, we have chosen, in the chapters 4, 5 and 6 of our second part, to concentrate on three themes which represent the major elements of Guzmán's singular experience : the traza, considered as a witticism, the distortions undergone by the body, and, at last, the quest for an individual remedy. However, the text does not discard the others : on the contrary, Alemán's writing aims at assigning his book the friendly mission of transmitting vital knowledge to the reader (chapter 7) and endowing him with important powers (chapter 8). The creation of a reader-atalaya, able to interpret the meaning of the text, then appears as a determining feature of Alemán's masterpiece : in fact, the ending of the story remains suspended and lets the reader alone to face the comprehension of the political dimension of the narrative (chapter 9)

Full textThis study is concerned with the various ways in which Spanish literature of the Golden Age represents the figure of Democritus, the philosopher who laughs, and that of Heraclitus, the philosopher who cries, which I take to be one and the same figure. By analyzing the components of the figure of Democritus and Heraclitus, and contrasting it with the traditional figure of the sage of the Antiquity, I aim at defining the notions it brings into play, the questions it raises and the dynamics that emerge from it (chapter 1). The figure of Democritus and Heraclitus was commented on, questioned, and enhanced with new meanings from Antiquity to the Renaissance (chapter 2). An overview of 16th and 17th century Spanish writings in which this figure is mentioned (chapter 3) shows how much interest this figure elicited during the Spanish Golden Age. Its various uses by Spanish authors reveal the many literary possibilities offered by this dual figure (chapter 4). Due to its essentially dialogic character, it fully develops its potentialities in dialogue, where it takes on various functions and meanings – formal and narrative functions in Heraclito i Democrito de nuestro tiempo by Antonio López de Vega, but satirical ones in La Torre de Babilonia by Antonio Enríquez Gómez (chapter 5). It is also found in the works of major 17th century authors, where its influence goes well beyond its nominal presence, be it in Baltasar Gracián’s Criticon (chapter 6) or in Lope de Vega’s La Dorotea (chapter 7). Paradoxically, it is in Cervantès’ Don Quixote, where it never explicitly appears, that the figure of Democritus and Heraclitus develops its full potentialities (chapter 8 & 9)

Full textDespite the differences that oppose both dramatic arts, French imitations of the Spanish Golden Age theatre blossomed between 1630 and 1660. This study first recalls the cultural context in which these adaptations took place and the most striking features of the comedia. Then the analysis focuses on the characters in the tragi-comedies and comedies of three authors whose works are representative of the general trends : Rotrou, Boisrobert and Scarron. The choice of their reference models and the changes they made to them reveal that their interest is linked with the aristocratic value system praised by the Spanish theatre and its game of false appearances built on disguises. The adapters also distorted the structure of the comedia, introducing an imbalance between the characters, which tend to have fixed features. The comparison between French adaptations and their Spanish sources clarifies the evolutions and permanent features of this imitation movement which contributed to the development of the French theatre during the XVIIth century. It stresses that although both dramatic arts rely on the same principles, like propriety and verisimilitude, they led to opposite ideas of dramatic illusion
Guerreiro, Henri. "Études sur l'œuvre de Mateo Alemán." Toulouse 2, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992TOU20026.
Full textThe studies on the work Alemán (5 volumes) include three series of coherent work which concern both the picaresque and the hagiographic production of that author : Guzman de Alfarache (1599-1604) and San Antonio de Padua (1604). The first serie is the critical edition of that work (3 volumes, 863-cxxvii p. ) which is scientifically based on the 4 editions published in the 17th century (sevilla 1604, 1605 ; valencia, 1607 ; tortosa, 1662). The polyvalent annotation and different index, more particularly the one concerning the "concepts", containing thematic recurrences which have been pointed out, are of upmost importance as far as the content and the understanding of the Guzman de Alfarache are concerned. The second series includes two sets of studies. A. - identification of the sources of the San Antonio (1 volume, 230 p. ) more specifically the spanish and portuguese sources (16th and 17th centuries) which confrontation with the text of Mateo Alemán highlights its originality. B. - "The originality of the San Antonio de Padua" (1 volume, 439 p. ) considered essentially from a theological approach. In spite of being correlated to its medieval context, the account of the life of the "saint" written in relation with the spiritual conflicts of the 16th century, reflects the religious concerns of a post - tridentine Spanish catholic. .

Full textThe aim of this work is to show Quevedo's originality in his presentation of ethics and politics. In our first part, we analyzed his translation of Plutarque's and Seneque's texts. This analysis showed that Quevedo wanted to express his point of view in his translation. With those elements, we analyzed, in a second part, the commentaries he gave of those ancient texts. Our conclusion is that Quevedo worked to argue rationally to prove the foundation and the common sense of morals. From the experience, that is to say from history, he proved that an immoral politics is always bound to fail. Our third part wanted to situe Quevedo towards the tendency which consisted in following only the religious principles, and the one which was only realist. We concluded from this comparison of our author with his precursors that he never followed an idealist system and refused to create a new one. He showed that human being are changeable and always ready to choose facility, even if it destroys everything. That's why he recommended the hereditary monarchy and showed that it is the lonely way to preserve unity, order and everybody's freedom. In this strong structure, he recommended every way which permits to serve commonweal; the aim only must be constant, …

Full textJuan Antonio de Vera, previously known for publishing a theoritical treatise intitled El Enbaxador, then a biography of Charles the Fifth, and for writing one of Olivares at his request, was appointed ambassador in 1630. If writing opened the door to diplomacy for him, diplomacy in return offered him the means and numerous pretexts to write, first on behalf of his country, and sometimes in his own interest. Therefore this study develops the tight links which have bound Count de la Roca’s literary ambition and exercise of diplomacy. To do so, it dwells on several main pieces of writing by the Count, some of which were published under a pseudonym and were unrecognized (among which a tribute to Lope de Vega). It also deals with his diplomatic correspondence. This one is edited in a second volume, through which can be perceived the daily concerns of the ambassador. Thus it makes it easier to understand the genesis of his works published secretly

Thesis, Rennes 2, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013REN20047.
Full textAt the crossroads of history and literature, the study of the pamphlets targeting the royal favourite in the early 17th century Spain seeks to review and contextualise a discourse of baroque outrage. In order to investigate the discursive construction of the black legend of the favourite, looking beyond the often formulaic criticism that is leveled at him, we will strive to demonstrate the aesthetic consistency of Francisco de Quevedo’s Discurso de las privanzas. Around 1608, the lettered young courtier turned this lucid and skilled pamphlet against Philip III’s flamboyant protégé, the duke of Lerma, whose exercise of royal favour shook the foundations of the Spanish monarchy. This underestimated work deploys the contextual, syncretic and paradoxical powers of baroque language, offering an ingenious response to the socio-discursive challenges that faced those discontented with the client-patron system that prevailed at Court. We propose to explore the complexity of those challenges by contrasting Quevedo’s work with other written attacks against the royal favourite that claim, likewise, to break the silence. Bringing into play the ambiguities of praise and rebuttal, the alibi of friendship and the relationship between voice, image and the written word, these texts enable us to assess the implication of this critical and unfettered discourse in the context of baroque Spain

These are similar to those of the whole Mediterranean Europe. We remark a coexistence of many visions, some polemic (not always dogmatic) and others objective, connected with a direct experience, even if a purpose of observation is not expressed. Human beings are at the center of preoccupations, as members of a society that is subject of an ethnographical approach

Full textThe literary influence exercised by Golden Age Spain on France in the first half of the 17th century is related to a very considerable mass of editorial activity. This thesis, which combines the history of the book and literary history, studies French translations of Spanish texts which circulated in France between 1600 and 1660 - translations concerning texts of all kinds (religious, literary, scientific, technical, etc.).In order to evaluate this editorial activity, a bibliometric enquiry must first be carried out. This enquiry allows us to reconstitute the history of of the circulation of this material in print. The principal centres of production are identified and the production of the workshops of the booksellers’ operating in this market are examined. The analysis then shifts to the activity of translation itself, in all its diversity. The profiles of the different principal translators from Spanish to French are laid out: the professional translator, the enlightened amateur, the printer, the cleric, the physician, etc. Particular attention is paid to men of letters who attempt to conciliate what is perceived as lowly hackwork with their literary ambitions. Finally, the translators’ practices themselves are the object of study, through comparison, using textual analysis as well as examining questions of format and layout, of different (concurrent or successive) translations of the same text. Account is thus made of the diverse motivations of these versions and the specificity of each writing project and publication. Taking as its base a large swathe of writing produced in French often neglected by literary history, this study of the penetration of Spanish culture in France and of the world of translators looks anew at the relation between writing and publication, as well as at the editorial role in the construction of literary legitimacy
Camargo, Cortés Vivian. "La mise en écriture du Nouveau Monde dans Elegías de varones ilustres de Indias de Juan de Castellanos." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LORR0015.
Full textThe emergence of the New World into the Western mindset is a major event, principally due to the absence of any historic record. Western intellectuals, travellers and chroniclers have come to interpret, apprehend and define a new geographical and human alterity based in western 15th and 16th century cultural codes, allowing a symbolic appropriation of the space and culture of the “other”. The poetic chronicle Elegías de varones ilustres, written in the late 16th century by a benefice priest from Tunja in the New Kingdom of Granada, is testament to the effort to write about a new world, in a time of transition—at the birth of modern mankind and State. Juan de Castellanos’s text sets out the stakes for the establishment of modern nations and the colonial system, and reflects the surge of modern man and sense of individuality that differentiates modern man from his predecessors. The modern man surpasses the man of the past, by taking on new knowledge of the world as it was. To write history, we need to consider past and present to be aware of modern man’s power to shape his future. The representation of the New World in Juan de Castellanos's work equally reflects a dual symbolic appropriation of space based on cultural codes embedded in their context. Castellano’s book embodies the critical debate that will define and conceptualise historic writing as its own genre, a world away from poetic fiction. Juan de Castellanos’s historic poetry is a battleground that lays the foundations for the poetisation of recent past: the early years of discovering and conquering the New World. The mythification of the New World origins cleared the way for a new stage in Christendom. As history goes, this would constitute the ideal framework to envelop the newly-discovered indigenous people and new lands into a colonisation process that would match the socio-political needs of the modern Spanish empire
Cam, Jeanne-Marie. "Recherches sur le thème de la vie retirée du monde dans la poésie morale du Siècle d’or espagnol." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019REN20037.
Full textMan struggling with his own century has always been driven by the desire to stay away from his fellow men and to flourish without the company of his contemporaries. In Spain, such a desire specifically crystallized during the 16th and 17th centuries just as an economic, moral and religious crisis was shaking the foundations of a Spanish society criticized for its clientelism and iniquity. The manifestation of this disillusionment gave birth to a stream of moral poetry, a philosophical poetry inherited from stoicism and federated by the antithetical platitudes of menosprecio de corte y alabanza de aldea (« scorn of court life and praise of village life »). The series of texts generated by this dialectic of life in seclusion, which is too often confined to the horatian beatus ille, discloses through a corpus of seventy-two texts the perpetual process of rewriting and the freedoms of poetic and philosophical treatment. The study on the types of formulation, the themes and common assumptions, and also on the stylistic devices and prosody carried out within each composition and in the diachronic relation between the study itself and the corpus tends to emphasize the argumentative depth of the series of texts and the combination of its variations

Full textDuring the early modern era, the european overseas expansion intensified the circulation of goods and people around the World. From the 16th century, the Iberian expansion contributed to change the relationship between the Europeans and the terrestrial globe and was followed by the production of a vast array of texts and materials, which were sometimes printed, and then translated into a variety of European languages. By examining various translations intro French, published in Paris and Lyon around 1500, of some sixteenth century accounts of the « New Worlds » and other « foreign lands » (among others the writings of Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, Fernão Lopes de Castanheda, Paolo Giovio or Giovanni Battista Ramusio), the thesis reviews the way through which a renewed knowledge of the world is locally produced. By focusing on the entire translation process, from production to its multiple appropriation, it becomes possible to understand how one makes the world known in sixteenth-century France

Full textAuthoritative image and market strategies in José Joaquín Benegasi y Luján (1707-1770) presents the study of this not very well known author of the Spanish barroco bajo. José Joaquín Benegasi y Luján, even though he was considered a "minor" by the traditional criticism of the eighteenth century, is a writer with an authorial profile that preludes some of the features of the modern author. Moreover, the specific network of sociability (Bourdieu) of Madrid, which he belonged to, as well as the personal imprint of his texts –which are summarized in this distinctive mark, the "jocoserio"–, allowed me to anticipate some affirmations that guaranteed a fruitful study of his figure, his context and his work. It is from these statements that I began my research, which I structured around the two traditional axes of life and the work of the author, while striving to provide them with a greater versatility and wealth. In the present study, we can distinguish historical and archival research work, the intention of which was to reconstruct as reliably as possible the historical-social evolution of the author, his texts and the context in which they appear, as well as the more strictly philological research work. This late one aims at making a detailed analysis of the printed texts which helps us to better understand, from a literary perspective, both the author and the socio-editorial context in which they were produced. With this dual approach that aims to be complementary, my goal was to articulate a solid and coherent study that can allow us to enrich to some extent our still weak knowledge about this author. In general, some tentative conclusions can be drawn from the research carried out:1. The presence of a certain professional profile (signature, denatured accreditations, editorial control, identifiable style, thematic diversification, engraving) in the work of Benegasi. 2. The awareness of the importance of one's own insertion and professional connection with a more or less complex sociability network. 3. The development of publishing strategies within a book market in which Benegasi places, in addition to his aspirations of notoriety, his interest in economic survival. 4. The relative public recognition of Benegasi, which is attested both by its extensive network of contacts and the testimonies that flow from them, as well as by the frequency of printing of the compilations and re-editions

Full textLa Galatea and Persiles, two romances written by Cervantes, are frequently misunderstood because they do not establish the same relation with reality as in Don Quixote. They explore an imaginary space and seem to work in contradiction with the rule of verisimilitude and what we consider to be the foundation of the modern novel. After this assessment, the present study has been elaborated in order to understand the reasons for these special features in Cervantes's first and last books, a writer whose “ingenio” has often been praised. That is why, for a start, I will focus on the similarities between them and, first and foremost, I will contextualise them: the imagination and the imaginary will be the guiding principles. This work tries to show how these books are able to meet the readership's and the theoreticians' expectations. At the same time they explore an imaginary space, proving that it is possible to invent a free writing

Full textThis dissertation proposes to reassess the status of Iberian sources within a corpus of English plays staged between the last years of the reign of Elizabeth I and the beginning of the Jacobean era, a period marked by deep socio-cultural changes. It does not focus on the well-known and often studied tension between Hispanophilia and Hispanophobia which characterises the representation of Anglo-Iberian relations at the time, but considers this relationship from a textual, cultural and aesthetic perspective including the go-betweens that, at a European scale, enabled these texts to circulate while they were altering them. This work thus deals with the networks of influence of Iberian texts belonging to 15th-and-16th-century court culture and the impact they had on early modern English drama. In particular, it tackles the sentimental romance Tractado de amores de Arnalte y Lucenda by Diego de San Pedro, court poetry by Juan Boscán and Garcilaso de la Vega with the long poem Leandro and sonnet XXIX « Pasando el mar Leandro el animoso », the pastoral romance Los siete libros de La Diana by Jorge de Montemayor and the anonymously published picaresque tale La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes, y de sus fortunas y adversidades. These works are set in conversation with didactic and philosophical texts such as El libro aureo de Marco Aurelio by Antonio de Guevara, The Courtier by Baldassare Castiglione translated by Boscán and El Examen de Ingenios by Juan Huarte de San Juan: they all deal with the figure of the courtier and the notion of « service ». As to the corpus of English dramatic texts chosen for this study, it is mainly composed of plays by Shakespeare, notably The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Twelfth Night et The Winter’s Tale. These works are related to other contemporary writings: Hero and Leander by Christopher Marlowe, Blurt Master Constable by Thomas Dekker, along with texts by John Lyly and Ben Jonson. By supplementing and redirecting the studies addressing plots and characters in the English dramatic literature, the traditional field of investigation of Source Studies, this dissertation discusses these elements from a perspective which takes into account the societal and theatrical dimensions inherent to the literature born out of the Iberian court society : this innovative literature reflects, shapes and questions especially the theatricality of an environment where individuals never cease to stage themselves. Alternately authors, dedicatees and key-characters and figures of these fictions they enjoy thoroughly, the members of the Iberian court society thus provide early modern English writers with a playground conducive to dramaturgical innovation and experimentation
