Martins, Eunice Barreto Dos Santos. "La fantasy, phénomène littéraire, éditorial et social en littérature jeunesse." Thesis, Paris Est, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PEST0009.
Full textAlthough fantasy dates back to mythological tales and may be associated with folktales, modern fantasy has only been recognized since the beginning of the 20thcentury. According to its definition as “imaginative fiction”, the genre belongs to thefield of escapist literature since it provides a “re-enchantment” of our world.Highlighted by best-sellers, such as The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien,fantasy flourished in children’s literature especially with Harry Potter. Our study relieson a significant body of works written by S. Audouin-Mamikonian, P. Bottero,B. Bottet, S. Mari, N. Farmer, C. Paolini, M. Paver and E. Rodda and published in France between 2000 and 2006. After outlining a typology of the subgenres of fantasy by characterizing it in relation to the other types of speculative fiction, the study focuses on the works themselves, especially with regard to the construction of the hero and of the world he lives in with a view to analyzing intertextual phenomena, grasping notably how the narrative scheme of the tale is used to offer the reader some sort of initiation journey through adolescence and, lastly, to showing how youth fantasy in France has become a social and editorial phenomenon through innovative marketing tools

Full textThis essay examines the love affair between the two main characters of Rut Hillarp’s novel Sindhia. It draws attention to the schism between the Surrealist version of love as an extatic-religious fusion of the sexes – that in a way marks the relationship – and the yet remarkable coolness between the two lovers.
With the theories of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, I will show how the man and the woman project their unrealistic individual fantasies on each other, thus rendering impossible the Surrealist Meeting, with its road to an absolute reality. The Surrealist "l’amour fou", I will argue, is trapped in the ritualized "l’amor interruptus"; a lacanian term for a certain kind of love that wishes to conceal the fact that desire will never find its object. It does so by pretending that the object would be found if only love had been consummated (thus the reason love is never consummated, since, as Lacan puts it, the object, or the Thing, is never to be found).
I will, in brief, argue that the love affair depicted in the novel in different ways tries to deal with the “lack-of-being” that marks the subject according to Lacan; the absolute distance to the desirable Thing.

Full textNumerous Arthurian rewritings have been opening new perspectives on the original material throughout the XXth century. Most modern novels have endeavoured to portray the « real » or historical Arthur. However, since the 90's, a new trend has emerged, apparently pursuing two contradictory goals : the likeliness and realism of Britain in the Vth-VIth centuries is still preserved while some measure of fantasy is working its way back into the material. Thus, the Arthurian novel of the beginning of the XXIst century is a delicate balance between the historical and the fantasy novel. Both Bernard Cornwell's The Warlord Chronicles and Stephen Lawhead's The Pendragon Cycle are representative of this recent trend. Each writer questions and reinterprets the medieval texts while suggesting his own theory about the historicity of Arthur. Their resort to fantasy is either prominent or scarce, according to two distinctive processes: magic is either rationalised, i. E an alternative to magic is suggested, or it is restricted, meaning it pertains exclusively to some of the characters. The way these works swing back and forth between the realistic and the wonderful define other components of the Arthurian novel, which this thesis approaches thematically. First, we shall see how war and warriors are portrayed, then how magic and magicians are involved in this wartime context. Then we shall turn to the different religions and how they are related both to magic and to politics. Finally, we shall take a closer look at the female characters, since they cross over all the main topics
Robin, Mabriez Françoise. "Les versions du XVe siècle d’Artus de Bretagne : édition et étude littéraire." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011REN20028.
Full textArtus de Bretagne is a 14th century novel. Its presence in several manuscripts helped establish its popularity. The narrative follows Artus, the son of a duke from Brittany, winning the kingdom of Sorrolois and therefor becoming king Arthus. There are sequel to the novel dating from the 15th century disseminated in four manuscripts. They contain stories close that constitute a longer version of the original novel. This thesis edits the first 229 folios of the BnF fr 19 163 manuscript. This text is based on three other manuscript and the short version of the novel, contained in the BnF fr 761 manuscript. The BnF fr 19163 text is easily readable and uses moyen français throughout ; the vocabulary is known even though several copists worked on it. The literary analysis focuses on the problems surfacing from continuation writing. How did the author of the long version of Artus de Bretagne overcome them? The author starts the text before the end of the short version and uses the content without any significant differences. There is enough to interest medieval readers, fond of variations on the same subjects. However, this raises the question, how to keeo the audience engaged? This thesis aims at studying solutions used by the author and how they lead to a reflexion on new aesthetics based on merging genres: antiquity, breton, french - and styles, epic, fantasy and lyrism. The novel is also complimentary towards France and French people, valorised through Artus being considered French. The novel reveals itself as the bearer of a vision of the world allowing the 15th century to live better

Full textThe addictive literature appears through addictive substances taken by poets in the middle of the 19th century; it allows a new dimension of writing influenced by drugs. This appears not only in psychiatrists and psychologists but also to artists as a real instrument of mental exploration. Between 1870 and 1914, in the realist and naturalist novel, the addictive and obsessional behavior of fictional characters has significant importance. The aspect of specific dependence to a substance or to an object becomes a literary subject but is dedicated to a specific description of mental phenomena. Dependence is defined as the repetition of certain behavior in order to get some pleasure from a material object or a situation, desired and consumed with greed. We will restrict ourselves in this thesis to work on the addiction of substances at that time: alcohol, morphine, hashish, opium and ether. Fictional invention with scientific intent shows or demonstrates facts in a realistic way in order to inform, warn or theorize by giving a pleasant and artistic appearance. However, the naturalistic author has to stay within the realms of reality without ever corrupting his novel with unchecked information, exaggeration, exuberances which would prevent the text from being credible. Confronted by medical theories and the etiology of dependence, the authors use their imagination to describe the medical phenomena of poisoning and dependence on psychoactive products. [etc.]
