Huchet, Dorothée. "La fiction de John Le Carré à l'ère du soupçon : du roman policier au roman d'espionnage." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012REN20063.
Full textMany readings of John le Carré’s spy fiction agree on its particular position within the genre. However, none link the specificity of the le carrean novels and writings, borrowing from the detective novel and the American hard-boiled novel, to the political, philosophical and epistemological context. When the first novels by John le Carré were published, in the 1960s, the world was facing great political and social upheavals. If new elements are then apparent in the spy novel, and if le Carré’s fiction is one of those which embodies these changes, traces of the epistemological break of the 1960s is clear in the author’s works: the flexibility of the moral values within the secret services, the dogmatic, and sometimes ideological, void in the professional agent, or again the reassessment of History, perceived as the result of acts of manipulation in le carrean fiction. Therefore, while his work enters the era of suspicion, as described and magnified in the covert world of John le Carré, it is a reflection of the anxieties specific to postmodernity at the end of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, on the other hand, the novels drift away from this as they do not convey an endless multiplication of meanings or a total absence of truth. The hero has the possibility of evolving and learning in his novels. From a literary standpoint, although le Carré follows the writing pattern of the spy novel, he has also partly reshaped it from the inside when he brought it towards the detective novel and the quest for truth and when he enriched it with postmodern questions. His work therefore occupies an in-between position: it has entered postmodernity without giving way to the excess of multiplicity or chaos, and it has continued to use the genre conventions to make them evolve towards a reflection on the place of the human being
Wheeler, William. "Quelques aspects de l’œuvre d'Agatha Christie." Paris 7, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA070099.
Full textThe point of departure was agatha christie - an autobiography and then representative works from her oeuvre which were analysed along the following lines: - the author's use of i, what is systematically said and what is systematically omitted. - the author's relationships with the various members of her family which lead to her particular view of the family, her "rejection" of love and sexuality and the special emphasis put on marital fidelity. Her obsessive use of hierarchy throughout her work which reflects the importance and her perception of the hierarchy reigning in her family. - the role of societal structures such as marriage, justice, etc; - the notion of determinism. - the notion of destiny in the english society and the end of the victorian era. - some specific aspects of the detective story as a genre: its rules, the personal evolution it takes within agatha christie's oeuvre and her special author - reader relationship which is echoed in her last work, postern of fate

Full textEngland, a country urbanised for two centuries, has been playing a part in the creation and the developing of the detective literature. Since 1960, a new generation of woman novelists has given a new spirit to this literary genre. Academics with a large and solid culture in Arts and classics, they introduce original perspectives in the reading of those novels based on a detailed observation of a society and a time. By means of the paintings of the most famous artists, the depth of the field plunges into our western history to meet the myths which compose its foundation. Our work tries to show that, at the end of the millennium, these woman novelists see the wearing effects of the time in our great basic principles, and the disintegration of the primeval thoughts, a thinning down that leads mankind to fall into the abyss
Corriou, Nolwenn. "Le retour de la momie : du gothique impérial au roman archéologique britannique, 1885 - 1937." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCA137.
Full textTaking Patrick Brantlinger’s definition of late-Victorian imperial Gothic as a starting point, this dissertation considers how Egypt became a literary object in the late nineteenth century through the prism of archaeology. Pertaining as much to science as to imperial adventure, archaeology – and Egyptology in particular – soon entered fiction as a Gothic trope, as is evinced by the great number of novels and short stories that form the genre of mummy fiction. By focussing on texts by Bram Stoker, Henry Rider Haggard, Arthur Conan Doyle and Sax Rohmer, among others, this work examines how the archaeological motif travelled through various popular genres, from the adventure novel to the fantastic, before being taken up by writers of detective fiction. The study of these texts reveals that Egypt’s ancient history, full of magical potential, was an object of fascination as well as fear insofar as it seemed to shatter the certainties of modern science. Meanwhile, the modern political history of Egypt – and its ambiguous position within the British Empire – also engendered a certain anxiety, fuelled by a more general concern about the decline and degeneration of the Empire and British civilisation. The depiction of Egyptian antiquity in fiction – and the figure of the mummy in particular – conveys the growing unease with which the British viewed an Empire which, quite like Egyptian mummies, threatened to rise and wreak its revenge upon the coloniser. Thus, archaeology came to stand for a metaphor of imperial relations and anxieties while the mummy embodied what can be read as an imperial repressed excavated from the depths of the collective British subconscious at the time when Freud was developing the method of psychoanalysis

Full textVladimir Giorgio Scerbanenco was born in Kiev in 1911, but moved to Italy as a child and died in Milan in 1969. Author of more than a hundred novels, several short stories and numerous articles, he practiced all literary genres and reached a brief critic and public success only with his hard boiled novels from the late sixties, who see as a recurrent protagonist Duca Lamberti, a young doctor expelled from the Order for practicing euthanasia who becomes a sort of private detective, working with the Milan police. For the first time in Italy, these novels are not only about solving an enigma, but rather representing and understanding the sphere of individual suffering amid its wider social determinations, which inevitably compromise one’s opportunity to rationally experience reality. Scerbanenco added new referential elements to the formal identity of the detective novel that leave us facing the continuous repetition of the dialectic couple « repetition / innovation » paradox. Indeed, thanks to the hyper-realistic accumulation of the most evident elements of contemporaneity, it is with these novels, centered on the character of Duca Lamberti, that mass literature begins to reveal in a violent form the rapid transformation of the Italian daily life

Full textJean Meckert began his literary career by writing novels of a populist kind, such as Les Coups. This literature was quite important in the thirties but became out of fashion after the war and his novels had a very limited success. M. Duhamel, then at the head of the detective series at the Gallimard Editions, La Série Noire, suggested him to write detective stories inspired by the American hardboiled novels. In 1950, under the pen name of J. Amila, he published Y'a pas de bon Dieu ! and became a true reference in the detective literature in France. He remained as such till 1985 with his last novel, Au balcon d'Hiroshima. Within thirty-five years he published twenty-one titles in La Série Noire collection. These books got their inspiration from the working-class literature that Meckert brought to the detective novel kind. As a contemporary of L. Malet and G. Simenon, he heralded the neo-whodunnit of the early seventies, which came to life with J. -P. Manchette, ADG, J. Vautrin or P. Siniac. In the eighties, writers as F. H. Fajardie, T. Jonquet or J. -B. Pouy followed the way opened up by J. Amila. Among them, D. Daeninckx claims his belonging to the trail and thus leads readers to rediscover Amila. Consequently, Amila finds a place again in present-day literature among writers who watch the French society in a crisis as he used to investigate the working class backgroubnd. A writer with many faces, J. Amila also wrote several iconoclastic spy novels, a science-fiction book and an enquiry about the Dominici affair. He worked for the theatre too and took part in the scripts and dialogues of ten films or so. He also novelized two films by A. Cayatte and C. Spaak
