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

Dichamp, Céline. "Du discours médical au récit fantastique : la dimension addictive des drogues dans la littérature française de 1870 à 1914." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011MON30090/document.
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.]

Full textWhat we read and listen to in the preparatory notes and the recorded words of Roland Barthes’s courses at the Collège de France is the discourse that tells the singular fantasms of a subject. This discourse oscillates between science and literature, critical language and expressive language, reality and fiction, meta-discourse and discourse-object. This particularity makes it possible to conceive of the course as a creative act and a literary experiment. The hypothesis is as follows: the three courses, independent of each other, constitute a unit around the final fantasm, the Vita Nova which is a Novel of degree zero. By naming all the fragments of the discourse, scattered throughout the course, “pre-novel”, we try to reconstruct a literary work as an architecture of fantasm, namely the novel as a discourse that dramatizes Barthes’s last journey. And we analyze four dimensions of his discourse: space, time, language and method

Full textBoris Vian's literary work calls to mind by the feelings it arouses. For a long time it nevertheless remained unknown concealed by its author's protean talents. Boris Vian, whose texts were mostly published posthumously, wasn't at the beginning seen as a writer to finally get in the Pléiade in 2010, 51 years after his death. To analyse his work it appears natural to consider the idea of fantasy. The fictional world he created remains a fantasist one where imagination and inventiveness prevail. Yet, opposing worlds get mixed up: fairy and cruelty, casualness and anxiety, indifference and seriousness, fantasy and reality. Considering only the fictional texts in prose (novels, short stories and plays) we questionned the legitimity of the fantasy notion. Does its obviousness withstand a further analysis? This questioning drove us to the idea of 'fantaisie noire'. Sometimes magical, incredible, linguistic, comical or parodic, the fantasy collides with the inwardness of the characters and with an anxiety that contaminates both beings and objects. The fantasy defers to an oppresive world where the dream reveals itself in all its power. The come back to fantasy is then only possible by comical detachments and a linguistic inventiveness that contributes to let the work opened
Radi, Fakhereeddine. "Figure de la femme dans les romans de Tahar Ben Jelloun." Thesis, Paris 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA030023.
Full textThe tragedy of the feminine character in some of Tahar Ben Jelloun's writings, in view of the social, religious, economical and political reality, imposes a hermeneutic analysis of the contours of the authentic situation of the Moroccan woman in the past and in the present. This approach will try, at first, to bring to light, the literary imagination which employs the theme of the fantasy of declination, the exasperated eroticism and the sensual delectation that is unbridled in the core of the narrative structure of the Moroccan author's oeuvres. The analytical study of the feminine figures as presented in the selected novels of this research, will substantiate an exhibition of a stereotypical feminine model. As a matter of fact, this will highlights the persuasion that Tahar Ben Jelloun, who is considered as a francophone author and francophile par excellence, has got a conflictual relationship with some features of the Moroccan culture. This attempt will reveal, at last, the use of a kind of a linguistic nomadism which combines exoticism, oral character and French language in a recycling process of constant and permanent reproducibility

Full textWhat is the link between young wild vampires in New Orleans, a frankensteinian creature with scissors for hands, Alice fighting the Red Queen in a twisted Wonderland and a japanese version of a fallen angel named Cain ? Darkness, rebellion and youth seem to converge in the same stream. The purpose of this thesis is not only to recall that Goth subculture is still fashionable but also to discuss on the dark culture transmedia and transculturalism in four different medias. Divided in four chapters, this study analyses the importance of the first « modern » vampire, Bram Stoker's Dracula's in the coming-up of the vampire outcast in Anne Rice's Vampire Lestat and Poppy Z Brite's Lost Souls. The second chapter focuses on the creature in Tim Burton's movie Edward Scissorhands which presents an original conception while dealing with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein at the same time. The third chapter analyses American McGee's personal vision of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland in the video games American McGee's Alice and Alice Madness Returns. The last chapter explores Yuki Kaori's Cain Goth manga series

Full textEven if the novels written by Proust and by Sarraute are very different by their ambitions and by their style, uncovering the interstices of conversation makes it possible to affirm the existence of a filiation connecting the two authors. This phenomenon includes direct speech fragments used to convey what could have been said, or what have been said in a different place or a different time. The ongoing interaction can thus be commented, illustrated or completed. This is how Proust and Sarraute develop what underlies and surrounds the actual conversation, to indicate that imagination is more important than words spoken out loud. Relying on a diachronic and on a synchronic approach, this research analyses the forms, the stakes and the effects of this particular pratice that sheds a new light on the intersubjective relationship at the heart of Proust’s and Sarraute’s works. We defend the idea that the interstices are fantasmatic projections, produced by the interaction, but also affecting it in return, giving shape to the relationship with the interlocutor. Considered as an inventive growth able to alter the terms of the interaction, this phenomenon involves a certain withdrawal but, far from being a sign of solipsism, is crucial to strengthen the relationship. It offers a chosen space to put oneself’s in someone else’s place, suitable to examine inner life and empathy at work. Finally, it implies a broader definition of reality, including what is virtual and possible, and offers an existential laboratory that encourages the reader to question his own inter-actions

Full textThe novel is the literary type which comes nearest to the understanding of the unconscious discouvered through psychoanalysis. Dostoevsky's novel goes just before and is closely related to the spirit of freud's work. It can be considered as a counterpart of psychoanalysis insofar as it implicitly examines the relation between the waking state and the dreaming state, the roots of primal crimes (parricide, matricide, infanticide), the "polyphonic" nature of the mental apparatus and the connection between figures of style (metaphor and metonymy), the working mechanism of the unconscious (condensation and displacement) and thestructure of primal phantasies (primal scene and primal seduction). Dostoevsky's novel, with its capacity for merging the structures of different literary and artistic styles and its talent for calling forth the consistency and degradation, throughout time, of such religious phenomena as sacrifice and initiation rites at the adult age, is also a main source of reflection on the structure of the mental apparatus and on the action of writing. The methodological approach itself unfolds into part and counterpart: on one hand psychoanalysis is shown to be the best and easiest means of understanding fiction; on the other hand the theoretical elaborations of psychoanalysis are themselves put to the test in the course of their "application"

Full textRelying mainly on aid and advice, it may happen that, confronted with problems of subjectivation limits, the work becomes inoperative in the Educational Action in Open Medium. As a clinical psychologist in such a service, we had to overcome this hurdle, imagine other techniques and develop our role in this context. We have designed and gradually implemented a diagnostic tool, a therapeutic device as well as an autonomous theoretical concept: the story of a pregnancy. It is a work of associative history around perinatality that we can define also, at the suggestion of Rene Roussillon, as a focal association device. In order to give a place to the psychic reality, generally ignored in Educationnal Action, we called around this original thread (although in the parentage of the family story of Freud) to a narrative work of the conception times, of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding as well as the couple meeting and the desire for a child, of women-mothers yet stuck in incestual problematic (Racamier) and narcissistic identity suffering (Roussillon). We illustrate in this work, through numerous cases and six clinical studies, how this new modality of approach to these women has allowed us to overcome a form of initial psychological deafness (and perhaps bilateral…) and served to relaunch stimulating work that has motivated this writing, and encourages us to think that the story of a pregnancy could be generalised to other settings and considered as a valuable tool for the clinicians

Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017GREAL029/document.
Full textIn this piece of work, we have discussed on the ‘autobiographical novel’ as a literary genre exemplified by three Algerian works written in French – namelyTaos Amrouche’s Jacinthe noire de, Mouloud Feraoun’s Le Fils du pauvre and Assia Djebar’s L'amour la fantasia.First and foremost, the autobiographical novel – recently defined by modern poetic – marks itself off from the other genres with its strategy of generic ambiguity. This has been systematically noticed in these works, especially from a structural point of view where text components play the part of generic operators such as paratext, intertext, but also enunciating mechanisms on fictional and referential axes.Starting from the contextual standpoint, other ambiguities nurture the nature of the genre we have wished to tackle through the concept of duality that is unveiled by the social and individual context. This very concept has then been developed into the concept of the double. It affects mostly the figure of the author as well as their characters.Moving beyond the figure of the double amounts to questioning the very unity of the Self and personal identity before rendering a final verdict on various theories that tried to implement reception that may hermeneutically validate the genre in all its diverging acceptations.Keywords: autobiographical novel, fiction, reality, ambiguity, duality, double, self identity, amalgam, reception

Full textAdaptation has been a part of cinema since its very beginning. Since then, the number of film versions of literary works which appear on screen has never ceases to increase and adaptation is still at the heart of cinematic production around the world. Adaptation actually exists in a rather paradoxical situation. What motivates its conception is also the source of the majority of criticism against it. On one hand, the economic advantage is clear. The fame of a popular novel guarantees a large audience. On the other hand, its creative context can prove to be difficult since ontologically adaptation serves to preserve the traditional comparison based on an oppositional paradigm of the arts where the film has to justify itself in front of the source text. Standing at a crossroads between the arts, adaptation is the focus of a debate on a notional hierarchy within the arts where narration through images could still be perceived as inferior compared to other forms.We wanted to study this phenomenon within the context of the resurgence of fantasy witnessed in the 2000’s in this thesis. In the English-speaking world this cultural event reached an unexpected level with the success of the adaptations of J. R. R. Tolkien and J. K. Rowling’s novels while the film versions of C. S. Lewis’ works were less well received. With these points in mind, we consider the process and the product of adaptation in order to situate our corpus in the debate through a top down approach of comparison. We thus hope to bring some elements of reflections on the craze for these stories and the domain of adaptation studies

Full textFantasy literature, heiress of many literary and cinematographic forms, has developed rapidly at the turn of the XXth and XXIst centuries. In this recent corpus, several works concur to the renewal of the conventional parameters of fantasy. Pierre Bottero takes part in this joint action through a singular feminine figure, Ellana, who belongs to the marchombre guild, and whose freedom quest refers to the author’s goal to dispel the commonplaces of fantasy genre. Indeed, after the writing of La Quête d’Ewilan (2003) and Les Mondes d’Ewilan (2005), Bottero moves away from tolkienian tradition and arthurian legend in order to create Le Pacte des marchombres, a trilogy relating the emancipation of Ellana’s figure by the way of a “poetical” writing practice. This thesis searches for fantasy writing’s potentialities that are observable in the book Ellana (2006), first volume of Bottero’s final trilogy. Ellana comes under a particular transfictional writing practice – the prequel – that is done back to front. While the first trilogies of Bottero are based on Merlin’s myth, the author changes the focus to Ellana’s figure who plays a pivotal role in the alavirian cycle. We highlight the main features of the fantasy genre with the aim to identify the topoï that Ellana renews or infringes. At the same time, we set about studying the botterian imaginary that Ellana’s figure is dependent on. By turning the protagonist into a mythical figure, the author builds the image of a wild yet graceful feminine that nothing prevents from living apart from men.
