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
Grau, Donatien. "Le roman romain : généalogie d'un genre français." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040069.
Full textThis thesis aims to address the emergence and the development in French literature of a whole new genre, from the beginning of the 19th until the end of the 20th century: the contemporaneous Roman-themed novel. Dealing not with the stability of the Ancient City, its ruins and its monuments, but with the shifting urban and human landscape of the time, it disrupts the tradition of the Grand Tour, which was implicitly based on the notion that no fiction could be invented in the eternal present of Rome, since the perception one could have there was so deeply rooted in the past. By using the novel, writers were simultaneously confronted to the modernity of the medium and to the urban and political modernisation of the city, while the sign of Rome – the myth of the Eternal City – was always present in their mind. Novels set in contemporaneous Rome provided their authors with the possibility to engage with the most crucial issues inherent to the aesthetics and ethics of fiction: the role of belief in modern cultures – in terms of religion and its counterpart, literary fiction; the role of the past in the construction of modernity; the importance of the present in the experience of the past; the meaning of the Ancients at the time of the Moderns. Analysing the forms of the French contemporaneous Roman-themed novel signifies even more than engaging with the portrait of a city: it is a study in the relevance of Western paradigms

Full textThe purpose of this work is to study thirteen Spanish novels written in the second half of the 20th century by the following eight women novelists -C. Laforet, C. Martin Gaite, A. M. Matute, A. Garcia Morales, R. Montero, L. Castro, M. Abad and E. Freire. In order to reach my goal, which was to establish an overall vision of the anthropological, psychoanalytical and poetical dimensions of some novels written by women, I used a very demanding « mytho-critical » approach to the text. Part One is a chronological study. It shows how the recent emergence of these politically-aware women writers is exposing the fraudulent tradition of male-domination, as exploited and generalised by Francoism in Spain. Each of these novelists argues against the concept of a female mythology. Part Two consists of a comparative study of the « Family Romance » as elaborated by these novelists. Part Three considers the phenomenon of the « Uncanny » in the novels, where the literary woman with a creative fantasy is asserting herself more and more
Lakhdar, Salma. "La contestation masquée dans les histoires comiques au XVIIe siècle." Caen, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016CAEN1028.
Full textComic stories are not just amusing. They reveal a new literary form that embodies the principles of the Libertine Philosophy. They are detached from the traditional aesthetic medieval tales and jokes. Their novelistic form defies the usual standards and thus announces the narrative pace of the modern novel: comic writers based without being theorists, new romantic rules. Style, aesthetics, language and themes diverge but remain complementary. Ironically, the diversity of the comic story made it rich but accelerated its disappearance. Building on ambiguity, comic writers and freethinkers chose the mask as a way to protest. Concealment and simulation are combined in a complex narrative structure. Deprived of its frivolous aspect, the comic becomes a means to convey one's disapproval and contest. It is shaped by writers who did not have the same experience nor the same style but had common goals: deride the romantic idealization inherited from the chivalric novel, use the factual and the real as basis for scrutiny and analysis and face the dogmas of Catholic thought especially when violently or legally imposed on Protestants. As Freedom is the common end, the perpetual struggle engages clever strategies and writing becomes a sign of rejection and a means to refuse transgression, as well. Mask games urge the reader to interpret the different hints hidden in the texts. Hence, the comic openes new reading scopes
Li, Shiwei. "Jin Ping Mei 金瓶梅 au travers de l’étude historique et critique de ses traductions anglaises et françaises." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016AIXM3051.
Full textJin Ping Mei 金瓶梅, one of the greatest masterpieces of the vernacular Chinese fiction, faced controversy ever since it appeared at the end of the 16th century. Scholars like Feng Menglong馮夢龍 (1574-1646) recognized the novel to be exceptional early on, placing it amongst the Si da qishu 四大奇書 (Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel). However, there still is a halo of unresolved mysteries around Jin Ping Mei, despite the fact that it has been the focal point of numerous studies. Some questions remain unsolved, such as the identity of its author, the authenticity of its editions, or its possible interpretations. Despite the bad reputation that the novel still suffers from in mainland China, its raised the interest from French and English sinologists as soon as 1816. Ever since, the novel has been the subject of partial translations and adaptations highly perfectible. Starting with an analysis of the sources and a synthesis of current hypothesis about the book and its interpretations, our thesis will then focus on all the adaptations and translations of the novel in English and in French, to ultimately confront the two best integral translations available to that day, namely André Lévy’s (1985) and David Tod Roy’s (1993 to 2013). This confrontation will allow us to distinguish the interpretations that translators had of the novel, and to expose the strategies they resorted to. A crucial part of our work will be to underline the interpretative positions of both translators, and the interpretative potential that results from their choices. Our goal is not to judge of the value of said translations, but rather to offer a better understanding of the depth of Jin Ping Mei
自十六世紀末問世以來,《金瓶梅》一直都是一部有爭議的作品。作為一部中國古代通俗長篇小說的著作,以及被馮夢龍稱為“四大奇書”之一,《金瓶梅》至今為止仍存在許多未解之謎。雖然對作品的相關研究日漸增多,但是關於作者的身份、版本以及對作品的闡釋等問題尚未達成共識。直至今日,《金瓶梅》在中國仍臭名昭著,但是這並不妨礙它在國外的流傳。早至1816 年,這部作品便引起了法國第一位漢學家的注意。兩個世紀以來,在法國紛紛出現了各種選段翻譯、改寫以及問題種種的不完整的法譯本。同樣,《金瓶梅》在英美國家的傳播之路也是漫長而艱難。該論文首先對《金瓶梅》的文學特色以及作品闡釋的問題進行相關探討,然後對《金瓶梅》所有翻譯和改寫的法譯本和英譯本進行研究,特別是對該作品的兩個完整的法譯本(André Lévy 雷威安 1985 年譯成)和英譯本(David TodRoy 苪效衛 1993 年至2013 年五卷本) 進行對比研究。通過對這些譯本的研究,我們能深入地了解譯者對作品的闡釋,他們採用的翻譯策略,以及他們譯本的優劣性。該論文的研究重點是譯者對作品闡釋的主體性,以及他們的翻譯策略給譯本讀者對原著理解帶來的影響。我們的研究並不是為了對譯本進行質量的評估,而是通過對譯本的研究來讓我們對《金瓶梅》這一複雜而極具爭議的作品有更深層的了解。

After whatMichel Raimond called “la crise du roman” this new production of adventure novel offers ananswers to the poetical and philosophical questions of the first XXe century. From 1918 to 1939,from Pierre Mac Orlan's Le Chant de l'équipage to Roger de Lafforest's Figurants de la mort, thisstudy follows the history of the literary adventure novel and analyses a group of novels that allshare this modern adventurous mystic
Bompaire, François. "Ironie et communication littéraire, à partir des fictions d’André Gide." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL075.
Full textFaced with the apparent inconsistency of the notion of irony, this PhD does not suggest to enhance the impossibility of defining the notion or its proteism, but to build a definition on alternative principles: the focus on common features instead of variations, on long term processes instead of the succession of meanings and the definition of irony as an act of communication rather than as a formal mechanic. Irony, ever since the Greek world, appears as an act of communication which cannot be reduced to pragmatic linguistics: how to control socialisation in a dangerous context, in staying as close to the enemy as possible? Solving this problem by exchanging supposes the invention of forms, some of which – first and foremost the antiphrasis – get autonomous and are fixed forms – but among others – of the irony. I then strive to follow the way in with this non formal definition is maintained by paying attention – until Jena romanticism – to the analysis of the communication at work in the reflexions on irony. André Gide’s fictional work displaying a great variety of forms of irony and being imbued with secret, both biographical and sexual, is read as questioning this control of dangerous socialisation and as laying out, beneath the notion of collaboration, a reflexion on literary communication. On the other hand André Gide’s work is reinterpreted in the perspective of a history of irony in the nineteenth century. The antiphrasis is the centre of perception of irony: to the figure of Voltaire is attached to the idea of taunting the ideal, which constitutes a semantic weight conditioning the adaptation of different ironic traditions to the French framework
Le, Mauff Julien. "Une généalogie de la raison d'État : les racines médiévales de la pensée politique moderne." Thesis, Paris 4, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA040082.
Full textThis survey attempts to draw a new understanding of reason of State, as a key concept in modern politics and in 17th century State-centered thought. It is therefore studied backwards, in order to better describe its origins, and to understand what conditions enabled its formulation. The genealogic method is chosen as a way to conciliate the French school of the Annales and the anglo-american tradition of history of ideas, and to handle political ideas as historical artefacts. Every text and author is therefore apprehended as a part of a chain of influences and relationships, while intellectual singularities are preserved. Among the main concepts that participate in defining reason of State, necessity, public utility and legal exception evolve deeply from the 12th century, as a result of the rediscovery of ancient authors by John of Salisbury and still more by Thomas Aquinas, of recent developments in canon and roman law, and of new fiscal policies during the 13th and 14th centuries. The improvements of royal ideology, the new necessity specifically applied to political action in William of Ockham’s thought, and the rise of the concept of a sovereign State under the primary influence of Marsilius of Padua, also participate in this preparation, now centered on Italian city-states. The account ends with a view on three different definitions of reason of State, that correspond first to Machiavelli and Guicciardini, then to Botero, and finally to the legal thought of Ammirato and Canonhiero. This outcome paves the way to the triumph of Statism, and to the new developments of political theory during the Enlightenment
Popova, Aglika. "L’homme et la femme... « et ils deviendront une seule chair » : (Dé)construction du modèle biblique de la famille dans le roman européen moderne de l’entre-deux-guerres." Thesis, Université Clermont Auvergne (2017-2020), 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019CLFAL007.
Full textThe present study focuses on one of the cosmogonic myths аt the heart of European culture. The myth about creation and anthropogenesis, the biblical story of the first couple, plays a fundamental role in understanding and interpreting the relationship between the man and the woman. The inseparable alliance that binds Adam and Eve undergoes a metamorphosis after the Original sin in order to be later restored as a full-fledged unity in the name of the family. The subject of comparison are the French, the Romanian and the Bulgarian literature and we are interested in their development characteristics between the two World Wars. The focal point in the comparative analysis is the novel genre, which is in a stage of development in all three literatures. The genre combines heterogeneous techniques, and is a territory for authors’ renewed interest in metaphysical themes. In this endeavour, adherence to the established structure of the biblical myth as combining three phases is sustained – creation, fall and redemption phases – whose protagonists are the man and the woman, and which coincide with the transition of Adam and Eve from a couple to a family. Two representatives from each of the three regional literatures, belonging to different literary movements during this period, are taken as examples. These are François Mauriac and Jean Giraudoux (representatives of French literature), Liviu Rebreanu and Mircea Eliade (representatives of Romanian literature), Tchavdar Moutafov and Anna Kamenova (representatives of Bulgarian literature). The first question posed in the comparative reading of their works concerns the modern, contemporary dimensions of paradise – the Eden of absolute happiness and completeness. The prerequisites for the break as a transition into a family unit are discernible within this theme. The writers describe a new Eve that hardly fits the traditional perceptions and assumptions for her gender. The next stage of the critical reading examines the attitude towards inherited parental models and the characteristics of the female image as a primary concern to its creator – the author. Thus, a gradual approach towards the realization of the last step in the development of the couple, namely, its conversion to a family unit, is achieved. The present analysis focuses on articulating contemporary discourse on the place of the family unit in the surrounding world and on the reconciliation between individual freedoms and life in a community as central themes of the modern novel
Emmi, Cinzia Rosa. "Femmes écrivains en Sicile aux XIXe et XXe siècles." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCA064.
Full textIn this doctoral thesis, we examine the evolution of women’s writing in the XIXth and XXth centuries in Sicily. We based on a corpus of 24 novels by seven women writers : Cecilia Stazzone, Rosina Muzio Salvo, Elvira Mancuso, Angelina Damiani Lanza, Adelaide Bernardini Capuana, Maria Messina and Goliarda Sapienza. In the first part, applying sociological Criticism and using unpublished and rare texts, we show how this production can be understood through the development of textual history and history of reception. There have been some omissions and also rediscoveries, especially thanks to Leonardo Sciascia’s editorial activity for Mancuso’s and Messina’s works, to the Rosminian philosopher Giuseppe Pellegrino for Lanza’s works and to the great success of Sapienza’s French translations. In the second part, we analyze the different forms how these women writers represented the female condition in each phase : during the Romantic age, they followed their contemporary writers’ models, while during the Decadent movement they invented a structure and a personal style so as to erode the linguistic and formal canons. In the contemporary period, they created their own patterns. The women writers of the twentieth century contributed to the development of the female novel, especially Sapienza, who elaborated a personal pattern for female expression in several genres : autobiography, epic and psychological inquiry
Marcou, Loïc. "Le roman policier grec (1953-2013) : les enjeux littéraires du genre policier en Grèce." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040237.
Full textIn opposition to Western crime fiction (British and French detective novels, American hard-boiled crime fictions, Italian giallo), Greek crime fiction is totally unknown in the field of academic research (both in Greece and France).This thesis aims to fill this gap by focusing on a literary genre which, more often than not, has been badly seen by the Greek literary establishment. The two questions which drew our attention revolved around the Hellenic dimension of the genre (is there something as such as Greek crime fiction?) and around the evolution of Greek crime fiction over time (is there a continuity or a major shift between former and recent Greek crime fiction?).Our thesis is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the belated emergence of the genre in Greece and on the history of Greek crime fiction from 1953 to 2013. The second part analyses the poetics of recent crime fiction production in Greece (1995-2013), in comparison to the novels or short stories of Greek writers of the fifties and sixties (authors such as Yannis Maris, Christos Chairopoulos, Athina Kakouri, Andronikos Markakis, Takis Papageorgiou). In our second part, we also try to identify the genre in which Greek crime fiction expresses itself (detective story? Hard-boiled story? Thriller? Mediterranean Noir?). Finally, we analyse the main characters who appear in the plot and the theme of the city. The third part aims at showing that contemporary authors of Greek crime fiction lead an investigation on the history of Greece (and its society) and on Hellenic identity. In a nutshell, recent Greek crime fiction is more focused on the anatomy of a country than on the anatomy of a crime
Charles, Lise. "Les Promesses du roman. Poétique de la prolepse sous l’Ancien Régime (1600-1750)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040187.
Full textThere is a paradox of prolepsis : because it tells in advance an event of the story, it runs the risk of ruining suspense ; because it only evokes this event allusively, it may, on the contrary, help to create suspense. The use of anticipation has always been at the core of the debate on narrative tension. Through the study of ancient and classical poetics and rhetorics, brought in comparison with contemporary theories, this work seeks to retrace the long history of a highly controversial narrative device.Reading the novels of the Ancien Régime, one may see this paradox at work. At the dawn of the seventeenth-century, prolepses belong, along with in medias res openings, to the repertoire of artificial contrivances used in the building of huge novelistic machines, as they keep the reader’s mind suspended ; in the first half of the following century, the Memoir-Novel uses the very same device to establish a new manner of writing : prolepses become the sign of an unsophisticated prose, attuned to the effusions of the heart.At stake here is the reader’s progressive apprehension of the text and the way he interprets the narratorial voice. Narratological tools are re-examined and refined so as to take into consideration the act of reading and its dynamics ; elements of enunciative linguistics are used for the study of small textual units and subtle narrative manipulations. Through this overview of one hundred and fifty years of prose fiction, we trace the different manners in which expectations are aroused, usually fulfilled, and exceptionally frustrated
Elkaissi, Abdellah. "Roman et cinéma : l'adaptation et ses problèmes." Toulouse 2, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993TOU20058.
Full textCinema is a great "swallower" of stories. To satisfy its audience, it draws copiously on the techniques of novel. When transcribing a literary text into a film, the film-maker prints his own personal reading of that literary that. As a matter of fact, the idea of faithfulness can be approached only in subjective terms. The passage from a literary text into a film implies no act of translation. This kind of adaptation is both a reading and a personal interpretation that bring into contact the film-maker and the novelist. Accordingly, the notion of faithfulness sounds subjective and hard to define. No film can be a faithful copy of the novel that has inspired it; for a film always has something more or less than the novel it has drawn on. However, it would be wise to point out three concepts that have a significant bearing to the passage from the novel to the stage: the first concept is the passive adaptation which seeks uniformity and faithful reproduction of the initial literary material; the second is the free adaptation which seeks to establish a shade of distance between the film and the literary text. Unlike these two concepts, active adaptation seeks a conspicuous detachment, without for that matter, overlooking the specifics of film-making
Huchet, Jean-Charles. "Du poème au roman : genèse et fortune du roman occitan médiéval." Paris 4, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA040027.
Full textIn medieval Occitany, there was few novels, as show manuscripts and words used by the writers to designate their texts. We try to explain the reasons of this lack: the dependence on troubadours’ poetry, and we negate the common opinion that believes that medieval novels were born before in Occitania than in France and that most of them were lost. We learn the nature of the strict dependence with the troubadours’ poetry and we show that the novel is a manner of "theoric fiction" of poetry which appears at the beginning of the XIIIth century, a period of literary and cultural crisis. The poetry is also a looking glass in which the novel tries to catch his own identity and clears - throw a fiction - his own theory. Against a common opinion, we maintain that the relations between French and Occitan medieval novels are not imitation but literary struggle (rewriting. . . )

Full textThe aim of this dissertation is to examine the characteristics and the development of the psychological representation in Émile Zola's novels, referring to the “psychological novel” in his time, represented by George Sand and Paul Bourget. From Thérèse Raquin (1867), against the idealism of the “psychological novel” in the manner of George Sand, the Naturalist Zola tries to substitute a physiology of the soul for the psychology; as well as the body, the soul is determined by the surroundings and the heredity. From La Joie de vivre (1884), however, under the influence of the “psychological novel” in the manner of Bourget, Zola progressively separates from the Naturalist determinism. He attaches great importance to the inner life of the characters in his novels and projects his own ideology and philosophy on the inner discourse of these characters. In his later works, the subjectivity of the author finally becomes predominant over the objectivity demanded by the Naturalist theory
Ngandu, Omombo. "Roman et histoire dans l'oeuvre de tchicaya u tamsi." Paris 3, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA030053.
Full textThe tetralogy of tchicaya's novels is a vast panorama of the congolese society before and after the declarations of independance of the african countries. To the numerous historical indications judiciously disseminated and unequally divided up throughout the four volumes, the author has added an ethnological dimension of the traditions and customs of the vili people from whom stem his origins. A chequered style of writing privileges the amalgame of literary genre, articulating around a multiplicity of point of views through delinearary and confused structure heralds the "new wave" of african novelists (since 1968) to which tchicaya belongs, in spite of his long presence on the literary scene of the african continent (since 1955)
Kartal, Tulin. "Le Nouveau roman et la révolution du roman turc à partir des années 1970 : Orhan Pamuk." Lorient, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LORIL219.
Full textBeginning from the 70s, Turkish novel tended to be pluralist, polyphonic and independent. Orhan Pamuk who had begun to write in 80s, won the Nobel literature prize in 2006 and became one of Turkey’s most prominent novelists. He brought innovations to Turkish literature and is a follower of the New Novel. In this study, a comparison between French and Turkish novel has been made in terms of transformation into the “new novel”. In this context, Turkey’s particular political, economic and social situation which had paved the way for the appearance of new movement has been revealed. The approach of the study has been thematic and narratologic. The major themes which have been handled are Istanbul, melancholy, and mystic and spiritual journey. In fact, his literary works show similarities with the other new novelists in technical aspect. In his novels, the most striking elements are the concepts of original and radical time, and sensorial and imaginary place. The main characteristics of his novels are; the stories narrated with a multidimensional and flexible point of view, significant chaos and intertextuality, identity problem and othering. The study also covers the cultural differences between east and west existing in novels of Orhan Pamuk. Besides the similarities with the other new novelists in technical terms, Pamuk’s progressive style makes him exceptional. He is the master of Turkish literature who plays upon the words, refers to ambiguity and introduces new forms

Full textThis study compares the development and the disappearance of the pastoral in prose,codified in the first part of the sixtheenth century,in italy, spain and france between,approximately,1580 and 1630. This essay examines the different ways narration develops. The evolution takes major directions: first,the main character,being at the same time the narrator and the author,is going to prevail in the novel,and to be the center of it through the use of the first person; this trend being assorted with the heroization of the bucolic universe. The way those two directions either combine or exclude one another is different in the three countries. The evolution of the pastoral novel has also been connected with the expression of an ideal of sociability inspired by the academic life,that was both closed and opposed to the utopic model. Those first person narrations, paradoxically associated with the praise of unanimity,are linked with both the change of the representation and the status of the writer,particularly in his relations with power and history. This pattern of the bucolic code reveals a link between pastoral and autobiography in the eighteenth century. Eventually,the novel,in its origin,partly develops through the transformation of the pastoral novel,associated with the disappearance of the

Full textThe contemporain novel may be stages the elements of a new quest : the former graal is here replaced by desire, as such always submitted to unfullfillness of language. This study tries to highlight this hypothesis, speaking about "heroism of lack", or about a triumphing hero on the stage of language. So we must make a link between two concepts : heroism on one hand, and the lack as an ideal on the other hand. The first purpose of this study is the caracterisation of such an heroism in the current novel. Apparently, the hero no longer tries to find back fullfillness but, conversely works for the claiming of unfullfillness inherent to the existence of desire. This desire is meant psychanalytelly. This work consisted in verifying the axiom stating that the duras' heroes first either aim at maintainaing the gapp between the event and its symbolization, or maintaining the movement of desire more directly. Of course these two aims can both be present. The duras' text worked as a catalysor
Hervouet-Farrar, Isabelle. "Le roman anglais ou le récit éclaté." Lyon 3, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994LYO31004.
Full textThere are six chapters in this thesis. Each of the first five chapters deals with the study of an english romantic novel. The five novels in question are : the castle of otranto by horace walpole (1764), the monk by m. G. Lewis (1796), frankenstein by mary shelley (1818), melmoth the wanderer by c. R. Maturin (1820), and the private mamoirs and confessions of a justified sinner by james hogg (1824). The study of each novel begins with a detailled analysis of the signifer and of the way the discourse is organized. Amongst other things, this analysis includes a study of the narrative system, and more precisely of the splitting of the text into several levels of narration in four novels out of five; a study of time and the study of how the fantastic is produced within the discourse itself. The analysis of the signifier deals with the most pertinent elements in each novel; these elements may therefore vary from one chapter to another. This analysis of the discourse uncovers contradictions, blanks or obsessive motives. The study of each novel is therefore further developed, based on the theories of psychoanalysis, in order to try and account for these "anomalies", and to uncover the fantasies that led to the urge to write the novel, the sixth chapter tries to bring together the elements uncovered in the other chapters. The first part of this chapter deals with the ways in which, thanks to the narrative system, the expression of fantasies is made possible, the second part with the exact nature of these fantasies, this sixth chapter tries to propose a few elements for the poetics of a literary genre that critics have found hard to define with any accuracy : the romantic npvel
Sicart, Pierre-Alexandre. "Autobiographie, roman, autofiction." Toulouse 2, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005TOU20007.
Full textThis doctoral dissertation studies the question of autofiction, in three parts. The first paints a panorama of autofiction, in intension and in extension, in diachrony and in synchrony (literary and theoretical origins, and related genres). The data thus collected allows the second part to address the problems of autofiction, through an analysis of the notions of fact vs. Fiction (axis of information) and author vs. Reader (axis of the processing of information). Building on the model of Philippe Lejeune's autobiographical pact (1975), it becomes possible to outline an "anti-pact" specific to autofiction ; autofiction is thus defined as an act (a writing process) before its psychoanalytical roots are revealed, in a third part, notably through a study of Serge Doubrovski's Fils (1977). The dissertation concludes with the elaboration of a definition of autofiction as a genre
Dast, Stéphanie. "Roman et confluence des genres (1827-1840)." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040027.
Full textThe study of the output of romantic literature in france between 1827 and 1840 highlights the dominant position occupied during these years by a genre which contemporary critics and the authors themselves defined as universal. The period is remakable in that novels (second-rate novels or recognised masterpieces) appear capable of going beyond and indeed absorbing all other genres. In 1827, the "Préface of Cromwell" affirmed the desire of the "romantiques" to break free of genre-imposed limits. However, the Hugolien thesis triumphed less easily in drama than in fiction, which alone was able to merge all genres, traditional or otherwise. However, in 1840, the novel ceased to be such a "laboratory of genres" where anything goes: firstly, it once again resorted to clichés with the emergence of the serialised novel and mass-produced literature and, secondly, it abandoned genre-related excentricities in order to move towards realism in the novel. However, the hybrid novel of 1830, is multi-faceted in the way in which it merges the various genres, which fluctuate between between anarchy and order. Thence, by incorporating history and drama, the novel gains in terms of credibility and overall unity. However, at the same time, a wave of quietly ironic works mocked the aspirations of this generation to create a "total" novel : absorbing and deforming everything in their path, these fragmented works circumvented and renewed obsolete genres and even sought to go beyond their limits. By tacking all the various genres, they appear to be challenging literature itself, but as part of a movement from which the romantic novel, apparently badly shaken, emerges reinvigorated. This regenerative capacity can be found in novels which are apparently unclassifiable, which, for example, veer first towards dialogue-based genres, the towards poetry, seeking another type of harmony between the genres within a novel, towards whose development they contribute just as much as the ironic novels

Full textCovering the two last centuries of european literary history, this thesis deals with theatre and novel through their relationship from a historical and anti-essentialist point of view. Theoretical synthesis and study of problematical texts (by sade, ann radcliffe, alexandre duval, hugo, balzac, goncourt, zola, dostoievski, camus, duras, aragon and vitez) and theoretical works (by rousseau, mallarme and brecht), it tells and interprets the relationship between two genres which provides each other with more or less explicit borrowings concerning norms and forms (theatrical adaptation, dramatization of the novel, novelistic influences on theatre, brechtian epic theatre) theatre and novel continually define each other; it appears in many examples of + theatrality ; inside the novel or in the increasing fascination that novel inspires to theatre, in writing and on stage. Confronting former (by bakhtine, lukacs, szondi, barthes), recent (sarrazac) or personal concepts to the works under study, this thesis tends to show that theatre and novel overcome the different formal crisis they pass through only by accepting the part of the other within what allows them to evolve and, despite some resistances, to take part in the aesthetic and ideological building of modernity
Loukam, Saba. "La morale de l'action dans le roman noir américain." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040118.
Full textBy reducing the art of writing to a factual description of the world, the hard-boiled novel has created new ways of reading, and experiencing reading also leads the reader to new innumerable but limited sapces of interpretation, spaces in wich philosophical concepts, signs, images, anxiety and primary emotions are linked. Its vernacular and visual language which is based upon a realistic and sensitive apprehension of action, uncovers a rich array of moral reflections on the problems of justice, iddentity and the meaning of life and action. This study intends to show that the American hard-boiled novel does not only consist in a thematic presentation of tge morality of action but also in a representation of its modes of expression. I have thus chosen to propose a two-part analysis of the morality, the other one deals with the link between the hero's perception of reality and violence, and his hermeneutical and existential quest. The goal of my study is to demonstrate the improtance of such moral and stylistic concepts in the hard-boiled fiction, and also to analyse the way they are related in order to go beyond the general French critical stance wich considers the American hard-boiled novel solely as a realistic genre dealing with political or social issues

Full textThis thesis, devoted to historical romances, detective stories, novels of adventure of Arturo Pérez-Reverte aims at highlighting the way the author bridges the gap between popular and scholarly fiction. Starting from a definition of both these literary genres, the background which favoured the emergence of this new form for a new reading public serves as introduction. Next, the way the novelist, in the tradition of popular fiction, blends the artifices of cinema and soap opera in his historical romances, on the one hand and the devices of quest and enquiry in his detective stories on the other, is examined. Then the covert or overt element of intertexuality available to the reader capable of deciphering the various layers of meaning and rewriting is referred to. The influence of Borges and Eco— labyrinthine construction, delight in mystification, and constant swing between realism and phantasy — constitutes the fourth and final part
Karangira, Alexis. "Le roman zaïrois de langue française." Paris 12, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA120041.
Full textThe zairean literary works in french language owe their origin to the combined efforts of five principal factors : the introduction of french in the educational system of the belgian congo, the establishment of public libraries in the colony, the creation of socio-cultural circles with literary competition for the educated natives, the admission of blacks to press writings and finally, the alteration of the colonial literary works by the replacement of their approach to african realities. During the colonial period, the congolese narrative literature was marked by the works of paul lomami-tshibamba, one of the rare belgian congo writers to describe the awful change of the traditional african societies in contact with western civilisation. The extensive work of the traditional novelist exploits the relationship, established by the african mythology, between the visible world and the supernatural forces. Particularly inspired by the myth founders, inspired by the myth fonders, the authors magnified the greatness of traditional african civilisation with an effort to put its values in the modern world. Presently, the remarkable stride in the production of zairean literary works points in two directions : the intellectual writers who question the coming of the west into africa and the realist writers that challenge and condemn the bad management of public affaires by post-independent african leaders. Having attained maturity and autonomy in the mastery of writing, the zairean literary works now look forward to a nationwide spread. Their future is remarkably tied to that of francophony in africa

Full textThis thesis, at the crossroads of literature and linguistics, intends to study the beginning of fifty English and American great novels selected over three centuries for their enunciative richness. In order to put into evidence the triangular correlation between the narrator-author, the text and the reader, two main functions sustained our study: the poetic function (part one) and the seductive function (part two). Three literary techniques; opening the novel, presenting the plot and the characters putting the plot into action, conveyed the narrative tension within the initial, middle, and final phases of an opening and put into evidence the emergence of rhetorics for each century. Three grammatical markers known for showing this author's subjectivity in his literary creation were selected: pinpointing operators such as demonstratives and determiners, comparative structures and modal auxiliaries. Each marker has been categorized according to specific aspects of fictive openings associated with binary linguistic explorative tools. Therefore, we have considered the anaphoric and cataphoric references conveyed by pinpointing operators related to the characters, the place and the plot introduced at the beginning. As for comparative structures, we have organized them according to three standards: the extra-linguistic universal standard identified by both writer and reader, universal references that need to be proven by the rest of the plot and finally the references that cannot be identified by the reader because they depend on the fictive context. The analysis of the modal auxiliaries emphasizes the descriptive, informative and explicative elements opening a novel

Full textThe dissertation studies the transformations of the legends of two popular Chan masters undergone when turned into full-length vernacular novels during the 17th century. The first part deals with a novel entitled "Expelling the devils and restoring proper social relationships, or the Salvation of the East" (Saomei dunlun dongdu ji), published in Suzhou in 1635. While taking the Chan patriarch Bodhidharma's travels from India to China as its narrative framework, the novel develops in 100 chapters an allegory of moral progress through the strict observance of the five cardinal relationships. The Dhyâna master uses his unique awakening techniques in order to lead stray humans towards moral salvation. The second part focuses on the rewriting process affecting the legend of monk Daoji (Crazy Ji), as apparent in the 1668 novel "The Story of Fermented Dhûta" (Qu toutuo zhuan). This text introduces itself as a critical commentary of earlier versions of the saint's legend, and further turns their themes of Dhyâna masters, with their picturesque ways of teachings, are here portrayed as heralds of Confucian ethics. This characterises the above novels as a peculiar moment in the history of Chinese transformation of Buddhism. The dissertation studies not only the discourse of the novels, but also their publishing story, the identity and purpose of their authors as well as their reception. Both works are shown to have emerged at the meeting point between the two genres of literati novel and moral tract

Full textNovels belonging to the ithografia literary current (1880-1922 approximately) are marked with the recurrent topic of alienation, whether it applies to individuals or to social group. Writers develop two kinds of attitudes towards this problem in a 1st period (up to 1897). Some depict village life, underlining here and there a few aspects of unjust treatments, in such a way as to move the reader on behalf of the victims (victims of the Turkish oppression, of parental authority, of emigration). But on the whole, they celebrate simple country life, landmark of genuine traditional popular Greek ways of life (1st part of the thesis). Others adopt a more critical outlook, expounding the fate of women, the alienating character of customs and superstitions, as well as social injustice (the 2nd part of the thesis deals with the crisis of traditional values). The moral dismay caused by the Turkish victory (1897) is emphasized by the discovery of philosophical, literary or political theories coming from the western world (Nietzsche, Marx. . . ). Writers then explore various paths. Some of then follow the aesthetic trend, others fall for the morale of the Uebermensch, others still follow nationalist theories or feel for socialism or new utopias, but all of them are indeed trying to encompass the possible means of freeing the individual in a mutating world

Delestré, Stéfanie. "Le roman noir : littérature "contre", contre-littérature." Paris 10, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA100101.
Full textThe contemporary "Roman Noir" has always been presented by the critic as an avatar of the detective stories. But if detective stories constitute a large part of the genre, justifying in a way a such approach, it uses in fact a very different fictional universe based on the opposition, which makes the “Roman Noir” the expression of an “against” literature. The research done on the main fiveteen American and French productions shows that it widely overflows the limits fixed by the too narrow frame of a generic category. A trivial thematic register inherited from the grotesque literary, a paradoxical description of banality and excess, which shows the essential duality between the human being and the duplicity of the reality, a writing strategy, which scrambles feelings and meanings to seize the reader and makes him/her doubt of his/her own references, are many characteristic elements, which find echoes in other literature fields and increase the subversive character of the “Roman Noir” from its thematic to its esthetic. The “Roman Noir” would be a vision of the humanity, which influences our conception of literature. So it is most as a “counter-literature” that we have to approach it, because it reveals the arbitrary character of the literary institution drawn up frontiers and amends the prevailing conception of the literature

Full textI study peculiar language of French prose of the 13th century by comparing literary works similar as to their content and the date of appearance but different in form (either prosaic or poetic). I compare several pairs of texts in order to reveal artistic means characteristic of prose and then to form an idea of language of prose and the semantics of prosaic form. In the course of this analysis the opposition of prose and poetry is illuminated, i. E. Various parameters determining the opposition of prosaic and poetic texts to each other are revealed. I study manifestations of this opposition on different levels of the text, as well as changes caused by the +translation; of the text from the prosaic to the poetic language or vice versa. Close similarity of the texts under comparison makes it possible to specify the minimal set of differences between a prosaic and poetic text possessing the same plot or the same source. The following texts were selected for the comparison: 1) “Joseph” by Robert de Boron and its prosaic version; 2) various lives of saint Mary of Egypt; 3)several chronicles; 4) bestiaries by Guillaume le Clerc and Pierre de Beauvais; 5)”Bestiary of love” by Richard de Fournival and its poetic versions. My thesis comprises two parts, the first part discusses in what way various topics were developed into prosaic or poetic texts and what styles were adopted. The second part of the thesis discusses the composition of texts under comparison. Here i look at the position of lettrines in manuscripts of literary works. My researches includes: 1) analysis of the position of lettrines characteristic of the family of manuscripts of a literary work; 2) comparison of different manuscript traditions; 3) comparison of structures of prosaic and poetic texts; 4) general conclusions about types of structural components and functions of lettrines characteristic of various textual forms
Jayot, Delphine. "Le bovarysme : histoire et interprétation d'une pathologie littéraire à l'âge moderne." Paris 8, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA082838.
Full textThe notion of Bovarysm was invented at the end of the 19th by philosopher Jules de Gaultier, and derived from a literary character in order to depict a psychological phenomenon, normal or pathological ; it later turned into a crucible of questions pertaining to two separate fields of knowledge : literary criticism and psychopathology. This study purports both to determine the epistemological outlines of Jules de Gaultier’s theory and to relate this dual destiny. Through the history of Bovarysm in the area of psychopathology, the history of psychiatry in France in the 20th begins to take shape : history of its various theoretical periods, as well as of its resistance to Freudianism, which will eventually signal, in the case of Bovarysm, the impossibility of its coming together with psychoanalysis. The history of Bovarysm in the area of literary criticism involves more than a century of critical reception of Madame Bovary and the works of Flaubert, a century that has witnessed the abrupt overthrow of its original set of values : at first caught in the nets of conservative morality, Bovarysm will later come to personify the positivity of redeeming desire, down to its power of subversion. This study also offers an interpretation of Bovarysm that stems from the tension between the knowledge within literary works and the effects of conceptualisation. Compared to other psycho-literary notions such as Quixotism and Oblomovism, Bovarysm will reveal the singularity of Flaubert’s poetics ; compared to other « reader » characters, Emma Bovary will be the embodiment of Flaubert’s assumption of a subject that can articulate the matter of femininity in unprecedented fashion
Peltier, Anatole-Roger. "Le roman classique lao." Paris 3, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA030062.
Full textThe most of lao classic tales are the epic poems. They are principally intended to be read in front of the public, in the evenings. There are more than one hundred stories in palmleaves manuscript forms which are engraved with the old lao characters. Some of these manuscripts have been printed in modern lao characters since1957, especially by the literary committee, the royal academy and the lao national library. The study of these origin tales shows that they were inspired by the indian literature, the yuan literature, the old indochinese fund literary, the siamese literature and the pannasajataka, the collection of apocryphal jataka coming from the mon civilization. The lao classic purely tales which have the original characters, are the historic stories. Although these tales belonged to the laic literature in which "the marvellous" dominated, they are impregnated by the buddhist teaching and the developped topics turned around the dharma and the karma. It concerns, in fact, that the popular buddhism finds to inculcate the basic precepts for the large population. Since 1975, date of the lao people's democratic republic instauration, the most well know tales are recuperated by new government to illustrate the political topics, as the classic tales were widespread for the buddhist teaching by the monks in the past
Meunier, Florence. "Roman et société à Byzance au xiiéme siècle." Toulouse 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997TOU2A050.
Full textDespite a nearly total absence of references to christianity, twelfth-century byzantine romances are very much a product of their age. Though they are undeniably influenced by greek romances of the imperial age in their choice of themes such as love, adventure and the gods of mount olympus, one can nonetheless detect in them, through a glass darkly, links to the political realities, culture and society of their time. It shows up in the corpus of literary references, of peculiarities of language and use of a heavy rhetorical machinery ; in the importance given to pathos, virginity, family and birth ; the presentation of court ceremonial, military tactics and strategy, even in the pagan taste for the arts of divination. But the fact that open references to time and location are absent would seem revelatory of the writers' desire for escapism, a flight from too oppressive a concrete reality, taking refuge in an imaginary world. The simplified structure of the romances compared to greek ones, a result of their single plot, makes them closer to our conception of the novel. Were these medieval romances - which also borrow from byzantine hagiography and epic - influenced in any way by the western-european ones, contemporary with them ? despite various theories that have been put forward, the text gives only tiny, very superficial signs of such an influence, if any. But especially for e of the romances, one could find parallels in arabic literature, in view of the heroine's provocative behaviour. As for later imitators, they seem to be non-existent. Twelfth-century byzantine romances give way by the fourteenth to courtly romances on clearly western lines, which have nothing specifically byzantine left in them

Full textThis thesis offers from a litterary history perspective the factors that contributed to the evolution of a type: the french language african novel. In the french language litteratures, its originality has perseveringly been enforced as a result of a new type intertextual work: codes belonging to the oral litterature sphere have been grafted upon classical romantic writing codes. This cross-breeding lead to an innovation writing. After having situated this type of novel in his cultural field, within its expectation horizon perspective, we have analysed the different oral litterature grafts, each element that was considered as a "gap" from the point of view of the french writing rules. Then we have gone into the properly so-called intertextual work, in order to clear up text production and its stakes. This time, the codes cross-breeding and the process by which the writing absorbs and transforms the oral statements fragments have been emphasized. "translation" has a well been put into evidence as an aspect particularly important concerning intertextuality: in the accurate case of the french language african novel, we deal, in fact, with the insertion of statements originating from the traditional oral civilization into a language and a style introduced from europe. The analysis has revealed that it does never mean a simple transfert of signification from the source language to the target language, but the matter is about transpositions and creations. It is this transposition that make possible unprecedented cross-breedings, the creation of what has been called the "bi-language" by a. Khatibi

Each argumentative strategy is related to the complex space which provides it with meaning and efficiency, that is : the rhetorical conventions governing the experimental account, the emphasis on witnessing and for replication in the production of robust empirical matter-of-facts, the organization of the community of practitioners and of learned audiences, the ways natural philosophy was inscribed in society at large, and its dependence on sovereign powers

Full textThis thesis is situated in the field of the theory of the text, more precisely in this critical mouvement, specialised in the analysis of the elements of the beginning and the end of the narrative. It is particularly dedicatec to the matter of the beginning of the narrative in the novel of the 2nd half of the 20th century and of the first half of the 20th century. We will first try define the beginning of the novel. It is a field, which vary from a novel to another. It raises the problem of the demarcation of the beginning of the text. In the second part of the thesis, we will try to draw a poetic of the beginning, analysing the different fonctions and strategies : the fonction of the "codification", the fonctions of information and orientation, the fonction of seduction, the fonction of the "dramatisation", finally the fonction of deconstruction and of parody of the traditionnal beginning of the novel. This latter fonction is generally found in the novels written by authors of the rebellious movement of the "nouveau roman". The third part of the thesis is dedicated, on the one hand, to analyse the connection between the different parts of the text, especially the ones that the beginning of a text has with other structures of the novel (elements around the text and the closure) it is dedicated, on the other hand, to situate the beginning of a text in its connections between the different novels of various novelists, to define a poetic of the beginning, which passes through all the novels of the same author (actually emile zola et louis aragon). The conclusion is thematic : it deals with the typology of the beginnings of the tyextx, which still raises a problem and i open on other inaugural schemes, which are not categoried. Beyond the efforts of the theorisation, which ains at reduce the beginning of the text to a normative rhetoric of the inauguration. Each beginning of a text has to be studied in relation to the aesthetic and the stake of its novel. With the evolution and involution of the novel, we are faced to the beginning of the text which passes out to all the attemps of theorisation and typology (confer to novels by claude simon)

Full textThis work examines the use of civil wars in English and French novels between 1580 and 1668 that is to say during the Baroque period. At this time, France and England were going through a revolutionary political, religious but also social crisis. Our framework is based on genre studies, contemporary theories of fiction and historicity. We aimed at shedding a new light on novel's poetics and analysing the articulation of fact and fiction through the study of a corpus of thirty little-known novels. The comparison between the French novels and the English ones implies to identify what defines the genre of early modern novel and its boundaries for both countries, and determine the genealogy of the narrative models used by the authors. We then establish the poetics of war through the analyses of the narrative functions of war sequences, the way characters are build up and the stylistics of violence (staged or faded). Finally, we suggest an interpretation of the novels. From the remembrance of wars of religion to the record of the English Revolution, Baroque novels constitute a specific form of historical fiction, characterized by the displacement of collective stakes and the metaphorisation of the religious division to the level of the couple or the family but also the recycling of the allegorical writing style. The Baroque novel is dedicated to love as opposed to the epic genre, it offers various and complex representations of civil war, this internai conflict questioning one's identity, faith and sense of belonging, three key concepts of the early modern novel

Full textThe thesis studies Terenci Moix's six historical novels : Nuestro virgen de los martires, No digas que fue un sueno, El sueno de Alejandria, La herida de la esfinge, Venus Bonaparte, El amargo don de la belleza. The introduction traces the history of and tries to define the historical novel. It introduces the author - T. Moix - and exposes the dual issue underlying the thesis : the originality of the author in relation with the genre and the time of production and the writing of Moix's historical novels, i. E. The constant return to the sources and the unveiling of a genuine "Moixian" mythology. The thesis consists of three parts. The first one - corresponding to the first chapter - stresses the role played by historical novels where all the other genres tackled by Moix meet : the autobiography, the novel of manners about today's Spanish society, the bildungsroman. . . The next three chapters (part II) focus on time ( highlighting the return to the origins, the time of the origins, a cosmogonic time), space (with a mythical dimension in cities such as Paris, Rome, Alexandria, behind which there is Barcelona) and characters, including actantial ones such as love, solitude, death, who are in constant search of their identity. Through the analysis of the writing of historical fiction, the fifth chapter studies the relation between the story and history as well as the gap between them that humour and irony tend to widen. The last chapter first tackles the various intertexts (the cinema, the opera, the radio, history, egyptology, literatures. . . ) and myths (Isis, Osiris) which nurture fiction through memory and then, taking the reader's point of view, tries to explain the extraordinary success of Moix's "highbrow best-sellers" by studying identification, cultural mediation and seduction processes and stressing the part played by imagination. The procedure adopted is traditionally "narratological" but also semiotic, "mythodological" and includes theories about reception
