Full textAbstract:
This trio of stories explores the cost of our increasingly commercialized, globalized society in a fictional future setting. They contain some dystopian science fiction elements in the tradition of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. The antagonist and central focus of all three stories is Hobbes Sylvan, an entitled white southerner whose gradual transformation into activist, criminal, and finally cyberterrorist is chronicled through the successive stories. The titular "Programmer," Hobbes Sylvan is both manipulator and product of the fictional future world she inhabits. Through the ethical dilemmas she faces the reader is asked to examine questions of morality in our own society. The stories are self-contained but connected, with different protagonists and conflicts but similar thematic material. They are told in first person, in epistolary (email) format, and in third person respectively, and set in chronological order.<br>Revisiting ADP -- A crime of passion -- A power like God.<br>Department of English

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I investigate the ways in which the phenomenon of racial and cultural hybridity inform and alter the social, political and cultural fabric of three creole cities of significant colonial influence, namely Saint-Louis of Senegal, Saint-Pierre of Martinique and Jérémie of Haiti during and after the colonial era. In particular, I examine the relevance of the French colonial city not only as a nexus of relational complexity but also as an ambiguous center of attraction and exclusion where multiple identities are created and recreated according to the agendas that influence these constructions. In order to articulate the main hypotheses of my thesis, I explore the key historical and social catalysts that have led to the emergence of Saint-Louis, Saint-Pierre and Jérémie as original creole cities.
Through the critical analyses of contemporary literatures from Senegal, Martinique and Haiti by Fanon, Sadji, Boilat, Mandeleau, Confiant, Chamoiseau, Salavina, Bonneville, Moreau de Saint-Méry, Desquiron, and Chauvet and films by Deslauriers and Palcy, I illustrate the dynamics of creolization within the context of the French colonial city. I argue that the city engenders new narratives and interpretations of métissage that scholars have often associated with the enclosed space of the plantation.
My dissertation intends to prove that the three French colonial cities of Saint-Louis, Saint-Pierre and Jérémie offer distinct interpretations and practices of processes of cultural and ethnic métissage. I propose that a correlation albeit a dialectical one, exists between the development of the French colonial city and the emergence of the mulattoes as a distinct class, conscious of its economic, sexual and political agency. I suggest that the French colonial city, represents both a starting point and a space of continuity that permits new forms of ethnic and cultural admixture. The articulation of such mixtures is made evident by the strategic positioning and creative agency of the mulatto class within the colonial city.
The phenomenon of métissage is certainly not a novel subject as evidenced by the plethora of theories and studies advanced by scholars and intellectuals. My research is thus part of an existing critical literary corpus in Postcolonial and Francophone Studies and is inscribed within the theoretical framework of Creolization. My research observes from a historical, comparative and literary perspective, metis presence and consciousness in three specific spaces where colonial authority has been imposed, challenged, resisted and even overpowered (in the case of Haiti). My study therefore analyses the creative agency articulated by the metis ethnoclass in the colonial city and counters the claim of a passive assimilated group.
As an in-between group, mulatto’s access to social, economic and political upward mobility are impeded by their ambiguous positioning within the larger community. Consequently, they resort to unconventional means that I refer to rather as creative ingeniousness in order to survive. Scholars usually focus on these “unconventional” practices as immoral rather than as strategies of self-reinvention and revalorization. As a result, representations of cultural and ethnic interconnections and hybridity are often projected in fragmentary ways. The figure of the metis women for example is overly represented in studies on métissage while metis men receive very little attention. My thesis thus intends to decenter narratives on métissage from the women and implicate equally the creative agency of metis males.
My thesis expands on the complexities that inform processes of métissage during pre-colonial Saint-Louis in the early seventeenth century, Saint-Pierre from the period 1870-1902 and Jérémie during the dictatorship of Francois Duvalier. It examines further the city as a space that engenders new narratives and interpretations of the processes of creolization. Processes of métissage or creolization have often been described as the results of violent encounters that were colonial and imperial. Moreover, these clashes were inscribed within the enclosed space of the plantation.
The city, representation of European pride and greed is an ambiguous space that attracts even as it excludes. Projected as an active commercial, economic and cultural hub, the city is soon engulfed by mass emigration. That site where the European image and culture is imposed, quickly evolves into a complex and chaotic web of human and material interaction giving rise to a complex creolized atmosphere. I propose that practices of métissage in the city are distinct from those generated in the belly of the slave ships, in the trading houses of Sub-Saharan Africa and on the sugar plantations of the French Antilles.
I conclude with a look at the present context of métissage, I rethink the significance of racial and cultural hybridity in relation to contemporary cultural and social theories such as creolization, creoleness, and transculturation in articulating, interpreting and decoding a world in constant transformation.

Fidele au "style" de l'auteur, elle s'appuie a la fois sur les relations recurrentes des personnages ducharmiens telles le duo gemellaire et le triangle du desir, et sur les thematiques propres a l'oeuvre, en particulier la trahison de l'enfance, et cherche a creer une langue ludique qui tienne compte de la dimension orale du dialogue theatral. Afin de respecter la postmodernite du roman, soulignee par plusieurs critiques, l'adaptation s'inspire de principes issus du theatre postdramatique definis par Hans-Thies Lehmann. A sa suite, les choix ayant preside a sa redaction sont justifies dans une derniere partie qui les met en rapport avec l'ecriture de Rejean Ducharme.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation deals with irony in twentieth-century Québécois literature, more specifically in the works of Jean-Aubert Loranger, Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau, Roland Giguère, and Jacques Brault. Although it is clear that the patriotic imperatives of French-Canadian romanticism favoured a form of lyricism that enhanced the epic material, this dissertation aims to show that Québécois poetry also includes another romanticism, best understood through irony. The irony in question is not rhetorical; rather it derives from German romantic philosophy in the sense that it defines itself less as a figure of speech than as a mode of understanding the world through astonishment and scepticism. This double pull – toward astonishment and toward scepticism – is precisely what the poems of Loranger, Saint-Denys Garneau, Giguère, and Brault explore. In accordance with the Greek etymon eîron (the one who questions), the irony they use questions obvious facts and established values, starting with those related to poetry itself. By adopting a self-reflexive position and by turning to other forms like the tale and the fable, both subject to playfulness, humour and levity, the writers always keep a distance from poetry. But poetry is not the sole target of their irony. It also aims at reality and the clichés that make reality artificial. It is, in addition, directed at the poet himself and the poetic “I”, both perceived as suspicious constructions. Nevertheless, their irony subtly displays a certain tenderness towards what it derides. Thus, its detachment does not give way to any feeling of disgust or bitterness.This dissertation is divided into five chapters. The first one intends, in an introductory way, to reread romanticism by focusing on the critical spirit of poetry, which takes the form of a metaphysical irony. This specific type of irony is what is closely examined in the next four chapters, dedicated respectively to the works of Loranger, Garneau, Giguère, and Brault. Such a chronological structure highlights the overall coherence of the corpus; it also sheds light on a spirit of levity and an ethics of distance that play a decisive role in the Québécois poetic modernity.<br>Cette thèse prend pour objet l'ironie dans la poésie québécoise du XXe siècle, plus particulièrement dans les œuvres de Jean-Aubert Loranger, Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau, Roland Giguère et Jacques Brault. S'il est clair que les impératifs patriotiques du romantisme canadien-français ont favorisé un lyrisme qui rehaussait la matière épique, cette thèse vise cependant à démontrer que la poésie québécoise fait aussi place à un autre romantisme, dont l'ironie est la clé de lecture. Il ne s'agit pas de l'ironie rhétorique, mais plutôt de celle découlant de la philosophie romantique allemande, c'est-à-dire une ironie qui définit moins un procédé discursif qu'un mode d'appréhension du monde basé sur l'étonnement et le scepticisme. C'est ce double mouvement qui est mis à profit dans la poésie de Loranger, Saint-Denys Garneau, Giguère et Brault. Fidèle à l'étymon grec eîron (celui qui interroge), leur ironie questionne les évidences et les valeurs établies, en commençant par celles de la poésie. Celle-ci est constamment mise à distance, principalement par un travail autoréflexif ainsi que par le recours à des formes comme le conte et la fable, qui sont sujet au ludisme, à l'humour et à la légèreté. Mais l'ironie ne vise pas que la poésie en tant que telle. Elle s'applique également au monde et aux clichés qui le rendent artificiel. Elle est de plus dirigée contre le poète et le « je », alors perçus comme des constructions dont il faut se méfier. Par ailleurs, l'ironie met subtilement en valeur une forme de tendresse à l'égard des objets qu'elle raille. Son détachement ne verse donc pas dans le dégoût ou l'amertume.Cette thèse est divisée en cinq chapitres. Le premier, d'ordre introductif, propose de relire le romantisme en retraçant l'esprit critique qui prend la forme d'une ironie métaphysique. C'est cette ironie que nous examinons et détaillons dans les quatre autres chapitres, consacrés aux œuvres de Loranger, Garneau, Giguère et Brault. Cette séquence chronologique permet d'apprécier la cohérence d'ensemble du corpus. Elle met en lumière un esprit de légèreté et une éthique de la distance qui jouent un rôle décisif dans la modernité poétique québécoise.

Full textAbstract:
The image of Saint Petersburg has influenced the imagination of Russian writers since the establishment of this city in 1703. Today, it is common to speak about the Petersburg Text in Russian literature that has its own mythology, imagery, and stylistics. However, the research in this sphere is predominately concentrated on works written before the second half of the 20th century.
This thesis addresses the revival of the Petersburg mythology in the 1990s in works by such authors as Mikhail Veller, Andrei Konstantinov, and Marusia Klimova. It illustrates how the reinvention of traditional Petersburg themes contributed to the representation of the "wild 1990s" reality. It also examines the influence of mass media and popular culture on the development of Petersburg narration in terms of genre, style, and the creation of an author's public persona. The cultural significance of the cityscape in these works is of particular interest.

Full textAbstract:
Light in the poetry by Saint-Denys Garneau appears in touches. At first imperceptible, it is soon revealed through the movement of wind or water. If the light in movement gives form to the landscape by outlining the contour of things, the fixed light, on the other hand, hollows out large holes of darkness which engulf the landscape. The space thus displayed reduces the poet to anonymity and silence. The conflict pulling the poet between these two forms of light, which refers to the problematics of Orpheus' song and sight, as defined by Blanchot, constitutes the drama of Saint-Denys Garneau. The poet thus seems to rest only in the midst of the transparence, this excess of clarity which transfigures things without however destroying their unchanging appearance.<br>Light thus determines the poet's attitude facing the world. Each day is lived out according to the ascent or decline of light. One can thus observe how the morning, afternoon and night inspire in Saint-Denys Garneau particular states of mind and songs. Light is indissociable from Saint-Denys Garneau's poetic process. This study should allow me to show that the poet's failure is not exclusively the result of exterior hostile forces acting upon his poetic undertaking, but that it places itself, on the contrary, within this poetic undertaking insofar as the silence (the darkness of the fixed light) is the necessary risk to the word (the light in movement).

Full textAbstract:
Le mythe du Graal, mythe littéraire, créé par Chrétien de Troyes, rencontre des ramifications avec le mythe de Babel, mythe cosmogonique de la pluralité des langues. Peut-on considérer le mythe du Graal comme un mythe de la parole, perdue, recherchée, retrouvée ? L'aventure de l'évangélisation dans l'Estoire del Saint Graal, inspirée des croisades et des missions franciscaines, et la quête du Graal dans la Queste convergent dans leur dynamique vers une unité que symbolise le Graal mais qui empêche la parole. Elles tendent vers le rassemblement et la réunification des matériaux d'un chaos primordial créé sous l'égide de Babel. À un certain chaos, à une certaine fragmentation de la parole se substitue une parole unificatrice relative au Un originel qui ordonne le monde en lui donnant un sens.Cette unification de la parole : une seule parole, celle de Dieu, pour une seule bouche, celle du peuple chrétien, suit le schéma inverse de Babel. En effet l'Estoire ne retrace pas l'éparpillement d'un peuple maudit mais représente l'archétype d'un exode bien encadré d'un peuple choisi et dont la finalité n'est pas de défier Dieu mais de le servir ; c'est pourquoi Dieu lui octroie le privilège et la force des mots. Dans la Queste, le commencement des aventures des chevaliers de la table ronde le jour de la Pentecôte inscrit d'ores et déjà les événements dans la réconciliation post-babélique offerte aux apôtres pour répandre la bonne parole. La Pentecôte qui inaugure le début de la quête du Graal dans la Queste, inaugure de même l'introduction de la nouvelle parole des envoyés de Dieu, qui dès le début du récit en signe l'orientation mystique annihilant ainsi tout héritage courtois.

This thesis is concerned with the poetics of impoverishment as found in the works of Saint-Denys Garneau and Samuel Beckett. It seeks to shed light on the reactivation of a Christian ascetic heritage within modern writing forms (poetic and narrative) and also, more specifically, to develop a novel analysis of these works from the perspective of their points of overlap. This thesis presents analysis of the relationships between voice and body (part I), of the doppelganger and self-generation figures (part II), of prayer, desert and image motifs (part III) throughout the totality of both corpuses. The comparative reading of the works of Beckett and Garneau highlights the complex relationship they entertain with certain Christian schemes (incarnation, sin, asceticism, kenosis) which they put into play on a properly literary level. This investigation also reveals that, within both works, these Christian schemes echo the aesthetic concerns of modernity (auto-foundation of the subject, authenticity, autonomy and purification of forms).<br>Key terms: Saint-Denys Garneau, Samuel Beckett, literary modernity, asceticism, poverty, doppelganger, Christianism, French-Canadian literature, French literature, Irish literature

O objetivo da pesquisa é observar as descrições do deserto do Saara nas cartas escritas por Exupéry aos familiares e, posteriormente, compará-las às formas de representação desse espaço na narrativa infanto-juvenil e no livro de memórias. Para tanto, analisa-se o deserto com base nos estudos sobre região cultural, a partir dos quais se pode compreender como esse espaço se transforma e adquire diferentes significados. Conclui-se que, nas narrativas analisadas, o espaço do deserto é representado na forma de um ciclo e desperta alguns sentimentos que o piloto utiliza constantemente para descrevê-lo, sendo eles: solidão, plenitude, redenção, ameaça da morte, identificação da beleza e equilíbrio entre liberdade e perigo. Utiliza-se como aporte teórico os estudos de Berumen (2005) sobre região cultural, de Michel de Certeau (1994; 1995) e Luis Alberto Brandão (2007; 2011; 2013), sobre o espaço, e de Rachel de Bouvet (2006; 2013), acerca das interpretações do deserto.<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, CAPES<br>Ce mémoire étudie la représentation de l'espace dans deux oeuvres de l'écrivain français Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: Le petit prince et Terre des hommes. L'objectif de la recherche est d'observer les descriptions du désert du Sahara dans les lettres écrites par Exupéry aux proches et, postérieurement, les comparer aux formes de représentation de cet espace dans le récit pour les enfants et les jeunes et dans le livre des mémoires. Pour cela, le désert est analysé à partir des études sur la région culturelle et peut être compris comme un espace qui se transforme et qui acquérit differéntes significations. On conclut que, dans les récits analysés, l'espace du désert est représenté sous la forme d'un cycle et éveille des sentiments que le pilote utilize constamment pour le décrire: solitude, plénitude, rédemption, menace de mort, identification de la beauté et équilibre entre la liberté et le danger. On utilise comme contribution théorique les études de Berumen (2005), sur la région culturelle, de Michel de Certeau (1994, 1995) et de Luis Alberto Brandão (2007, 2011, 2013), sur l'espace, et de Rachel Bouvet (2006; 2013), sur les interprétations du désert.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis assesses the part played by fictional literature in imagining the European settler colony. It aims to show how texts like the immensely popular novel Robinson Crusoe (1719) and the eighteenth-century fictions it inspired presented a particular version of European settlement of the non-European world as a benign and noble enterprise. As shall be argued, they did this by drawing on metaphors of cultivation, propagation and by framing conquest as an act of gardening that had an indelibly improving and civilising influence wherever it was applied. Harmoniously planting and settling the colonies, and reproducing the European homeland in the process, was the ideal that carried these narratives – an ideal, nonetheless, that systematically masked its own violent and destructive tendencies.

Full textAbstract:
For many critics, the demise of Saint-Cyr stemmed from the transformation of the institution into a convent six years after its opening. This seemingly conservative shift has been used as "proof" that Maintenon abandoned a progressive and feminist pedagogy. A study of Maintenon's writings intended for Saint-Cyr suggests that, though she wavered between theory and practice, she never gave up her utopian and feminist impulses. This dissertation argues that, in the end, despite numerous social constraints, Maintenon found ways to maintain her principles by adopting practices suitable to the context. Chapter I is a study of Saint-Cyr's genesis and Maintenon's goal in creating this institution. Chapters II and III analyze the educational system at Saint-Cyr, its curriculum and methodology. Chapter IV is a study of the theater as practiced at Saint-Cyr, with particular attention to the girls' performances of Racine's Esther, the ensuing scandal and the changes implemented by Maintenon. Chapter V analyzes Maintenon's letters, Conversations, Instructions and Proverbes with respect to the question of the condition of women, arguing that Maintenon possessed a deep desire to free the girls and to give them a better life. Chapter VI analyzes Maintenon's image in modern fiction, specifically, Yves Dangerfield's La Maison d'Esther (1991) and Patricia Mazuy's film Saint-Cyr (2000). In this chapter, I consider to what extent such an image is based on Maintenon's writings, to what extent it is constructed and, finally, how her character is still important for today's public.

Full textAbstract:
O século XIX retoma, por meio de narrativas literárias e pictóricas, o enredo de Antão, personagem da religião católica que teria se exilado no deserto em busca da dedicação às suas orações e à leitura bíblica. A representação de Antão do deserto, do Santo Antão, é revista no texto literário de Gustave Flaubert e na pintura de Paul Cézanne. Flaubert, nas três versões de sua La Tentation de saint Antoine (1849, 1856 e 1874), reconstruiu o enredo do santo por meio do discurso da alucinação, articulado a suas leituras, estudos e observações do quotidiano, como se notam em seus relatos de viagem e em seus manuscritos. O escritor busca na construção do erótico e da ciência a base para o questionamento da fé do santo, atormentado por imagens invocadas dum sem-número de relações interdiscursivas. Cézanne, por sua vez, busca nas referências pictóricas, em especial em pinturas do século XIX, a produção de sua La Tentation de saint Antoine, estabelecendo, sobretudo na versão definitiva (1877), relações com a obra de Flaubert.<br>The 19th century recovers, through literary and pictorial narratives, the story of Anthony, a character from the catholic religion whose legend says that he exiled himself in the desert in search of full dedication to his prayers and biblical readings. The representation of Anthony, or Saint Anthony, in the desert is revised on Gustave Flauberts literary text and Paul Cézannes painting. Flaubert, in the three versions of his The Temptation of Saint Anthony (1849, 1856 and 1874), reconstructed the story of the saint through the discourse of hallucination, articulating to his readings studies and quotidian observations of hallucination, as shown in his travel reports and in his manuscripts. The writer searches in the construction of the erotic and of the science the basis for the questioning of the saints faith, who was tormented by images invoked from an infinite number of inter-discursive relations. Cézanne, on the other hand, searches in the pictorial references, specially in 19th century paintings, the production of his The Temptation of Saint Anthony, establishing, particularly in the definitive version (1877), relations to Flauberts work.

While traditional readings of Thomas More's Utopia have largely relied upon literal interpretations, and accordingly have emphasized the significance of Utopia as a model of the ideal society, this thesis endeavors to explore beyond the conventional or literal appearance of More's language to consider the possible meanings, intentions, and strategies underlying Utopia's elaborate discourse, concentrating specifically on the significance of More's use of humor and irony and his familiarity with the conventions of satiric fiction.

Full textAbstract:
From the artistic experience of Saint-Denys Garneau, who decided to devote himself to painting and writing at the beginning of the 1930's, to the poetry and essays on art of Claude Gauvreau, Roland Giguere, Jacques Brault or Robert Melancon, Quebec's poetry maintains a fertile dialogue with the art of painting. Whatever form it takes, discourse on art allows the poet to reinforce or refine aesthetic sensibilities, to question the links or the disparities between texts and images, but also to conceive a theory about visual perceptions. Despite all that separates these two expressive modes, literature and painting both produce "visibility": even if some pictures are not figurative or some poems do not contain imagery, visual arts, beyond the topics or themes they provide to writers (landscape, portrait, still life, etc.), contribute to the development of "ways of seeing", ways of perceiving sensitive reality and of inserting oneself as a subject in the world. This is particularly true in the works of the three poets around which the main parts of this study are centered: Saint-Denys Garneau, for whom painting is a way of "learning to see" (apprendre a voir), Roland Giguere, whose poetic and artistic works share a desire to "give to see" (donner a voir), and finally Robert Melancon, who borrows from painters ways to "make see" (faire voir). By using notions and concepts that come from disciplines close to Aesthetics, this work proposes to circumscribe those "ways of seeing" and to assess how painting acts as a "seeing school" (ecole du regard) for these three authors. More broadly, since discourse on painting can be found throughout Quebec's modern poetry, this study also constitutes a point of view on the history of poetry in Quebec since Saint-Denys Garneau.<br>Keywords: Quebec poetry, painting, Aesthetics, visual perception, history of literature.

Full textAbstract:
This interdisciplinary study of devotional literature, drama and the visual arts examines the representation of Mary and her mother, Saint Anne, as wives in England between 1200 and 1540, and women's responses to these images. The thesis addresses a lacuna in modem Marian and Anne scholarship which has, hitherto, paid little attention to the fact of both saints' representation as wives in this period, and reclaims the meaning, function and reception of these forgotten images. The thesis commences with a synopsis of Marian and Anne devotion up until the central Middle Ages in order that English awareness of Mary and Anne as wives might be contextualised. Chapter Two presents evidence of this awareness; a chronological catalogue of medieval English representations of Mary and Anne as wives, in a variety of media. Chapter Three presents an historical account of the social context of medieval marriage; it examines the legal, social and canonical definition of marriage and demonstrates how this instruction reached the laity for whom it was intended. Chapter Four articulates how the representations of Mary and Anne as wives fitted into both contemporary marital discourse and its social practice. Chapter Five returns to the representations and interrogates their meaning and function, using medieval ars memorativa as the critical tool with which to do so, and demonstrates how real women responded to these images. The thesis concludes that Mary and Anne's wifely status was invoked by some theologians, canon lawyers and clerics to serve as an aide memoire and marital exemplar : of the Church's ideal wedding ceremony and of desired wifely behaviour(s) but that women's responses to these representations were less and other than that which their producers might have intended : generally they were met with silence.

S'appuyant sur les théories esthétiques des frères Schlegel, de Novalis et de Schelling, ce travail s'attache à analyser les discours esthétiques et scientifiques dans Les Frères de Saint-Sérapion d'E.T.A. Hoffmann et à étudier dans quelle mesure et jusqu'à quel point l'écrivain se réapproprie les réflexions de ces premiers romantiques et s'en distancie. Confronté au philistinisme, aux malveillances d'autrui et à ses démons intérieurs, l'artiste sérapiontique poursuit un idéal tant social que psychique. Rêveurs, fous, enfants ou encore sous influence magnétique, les personnages hoffmanniens sont tous en quête de reconnaissance et d'identité. Polyformes, polymorphes et hétérogènes, centrés sur l'interaction artistique, le travail de création et la réception, Les Frères de Saint-Sérapion créent une sorte d'" œuvre d'art totale " avant la lettre où se mêlent aussi bien les sciences que les arts.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse analyse la Correspondance de Jérôme comme une pratique sociale, dans sa forme littéraire et dans son contenu idéologique. Les lettres de Jérôme exposent et promeuvent l’idéal de vie ascétique qui repose sur l’expérimentation de divers types de souffrances. Le moine développe une pluralité de discours pour répondre aux besoins de la pluralité de son lectorat et des différents contextes sociaux et culturels auxquels il fait face.Les pensées philosophiques grecques et stoïciennes concevaient les pratiques ascétiques comme des entraînements à la vertu. Jérôme a dressé des parallèles entre disciplines et techniques ascétiques profanes et chrétiennes. L’ascèse hiéronymienne prend appui sur ces différentes traditions pour former un modèle de vie ascétique inédit.L’ascétisme promu par Jérôme change de forme et d’intensité entre sa jeunesse, son échec érémitique à Chalcis et sa rencontre avec le cercle de l’Aventin. Il se fait progressivement le chantre d’une ascèse présentée comme modérée et forge un nouvel ethnotype de l’ascète à partir de l’ethnotype du noble romain. Le moine tourne le dos au message évangélique et diffuse un ascétisme réservé aux nobles : dans une logique propagandiste, il produit un nouveau type de prestige spirituel qui transcende le prestige social.L’importance de la figure de l’ascète dans le discours hiéronymien pose la question de sa fonction sociale. Les grands ascètes se caractérisent par leur mépris pour les activités profanes et par leur patience face aux rigueurs et aux souffrances : ils sont indispensables à la société du IVème siècle pour susciter et préserver le dégoût des plaisirs faciles chez les fidèles<br>This thesis analyzes Jerome's Correspondence as a social practice, in its literary form and in its ideological content. Jerome's letters expose and promote the ideal of ascetic life which is based on the experimentation of various types of suffering. The monk develops a plurality of discourses to meet the needs of the plurality of his readership and the different social and cultural contexts that he faces.The Greek and Stoic philosophical thoughts conceived ascetic practices as entrainments to virtue. Jerome has established parallels between philosophical and Christian ascetic disciplines and techniques. The monk’s asceticism based on these different traditions creates a new model of ascetic life.The form and the intensity of the asceticism promoted by Jerome change between his youth, his eremitical failure at Chalcis and his encounter with the circle of the Aventine. The monk progressively promotes an asceticism presented as moderate. He forges a new ethnotype of the ascetic from the ethnotype of the Roman noble. The monk turns his back on the gospel message and spreads an asceticism restricted to the nobles : his propaganda campaign produces a new type of spiritual prestige that transcends social prestige.The importance of the figure of the ascetic in Jerome’s discourse raises the question of its social function. The great ascetics are characterized by their contempt for secular activities and by their patience to face austerities and sufferings. They are essential to the society of the fourth century to arouse and preserve the disgust of easy pleasures among the faithful

Full textAbstract:
Exile is a recurring theme in the writing of Antoine de Saint-Exupery; this master's thesis examines three forms--physical, psychological, symbolic--this leitmotif takes. The first chapter includes a review of Exuperian criticism and a discussion of the concept of exile; it also outlines the three critical approaches which frame our study of exile in the second chapter.<br>Our analysis of "physical" exile borrows from the sociohistorical approach of "exile literature" to examine the portrayal of aviation as a world apart in Terre des hommes and Vol de nuit. We turn to feminist rereadings of Lacanian psychoanalysis to assist us in addressing "psychological" exile, which presents itself in the Lettres a sa mere as a constant conflict between the freedom of childhood and the restraints of adulthood. Finally, we examine "symbolic" exile, which arises from the failed relationships of women and men in Courrier sud, in the light of the Anglo-American concept of "gender".

Maurer, Marie Theresa. "The Feminine as Salvific in Hildegard von Bingen's Letters." PDXScholar, 1994. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4860.
Full textAbstract:
Hildegard alleged a spiritual connection with the physical world in her claim that she, a woman, was chosen by God to incarnate His Word on earth as Christ had done in the flesh years before. Woman, the embodiment of the feminine, was connected to the physical world in the medieval era. It was with this idea in mind that Hildegard attached an important significance to nature and the Virgin, seeing each as the ultimate expressions of the feminine divine on earth. However, included in the incarnation, according to Hildegard, was the Church itself along with the clergy, both men and women. In earth, in mankind, in all of nature, she saw a dimension of God, a dimension that found its expression uniquely in the world yet paralleled the God beyond this world. Using Hildegard's letters in German translation, I will show how, in a patriarchal world of the 12th century, Hildegard emphasized the feminine as salvific as a means to establish a balance in the world, a balance that had been offset by the corrupt behavior of Church and State. I will preface this with a brief discussion of the era (p. 6). In Chapter II, I will focus first on how Hildegard saw the feminine manifested in the world and how, for various purposes, she expressed it in her letters. Secondly in Chapter II, by citing further examples in her letter, I will concentrate on how she saw a lack of feminine expression in the world and how she viewed the negative result of this lack. Finally in Chapter IV, I will show how she achieved the expression of this balance. In concluding my paper, I will consider whether she was successful in her efforts: Did she achieve, from others as well as from herself, the balance she sought or were her efforts in vain?

Smith, C. Julianne. "A Seal of Living Reality: The Role of Personal Expression in Latter-day Saint Discourse." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2006. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/1301.
Full textAbstract:
A personal mode of discourse is central to Latter-day Saint culture. This mode is both pervasive throughout the culture and significant within it. Two specific genres-the personal experience narrative and the personal testimony-illustrate the importance of this discourse mode in LDS culture. Understanding the LDS personal mode of discourse is essential to properly understanding Mormonism. The personal orientation in LDS discourse mirrors a tendency towards personal expression which has become common throughout Western culture. This tendency has important roots in the Protestant religious movement. In particular, Puritanism represents a significant point of origin for American personal expression. Such expression has been further encouraged by the democratic climate of America and has become an important part of American religious discourse. However, LDS personal discourse cannot be explained by merely reducing the Latter-day Saint tradition to outside influences. Latter-day Saints, while deriving influence from many points, have fashioned a tradition of using personal expression in their religious discourse which deserves independent consideration. Within Latter-day Saint culture, the LDS tradition of personal discourse has special significance because it draws upon a host of doctrinal and cultural associations that are religiously significant to Latter-day Saints. LDS doctrines about the necessity of personal revelation and the importance of pragmatic action legitimate a religious focus on personal experience. Likewise, cultural encouragements towards personal religious involvement and spiritual expression foster a culture of personal expression. Because of these philosophies and commitments, LDS audiences respond powerfully to personal discourse. A personal style of discourse is important in mediating authority in the LDS religion. Personal expression is a means through which official LDS doctrine is conveyed. This mode of expression also allows individual Latter-day Saints to locate their identities within the structure of the LDS religion. Culturally-encouraged genres of personal expression allow LDS speakers to enact their religious beliefs. These genres reinforce fundamental LDS doctrines and serve an acculturating function in LDS culture. They teach Latter-day Saints how to experience, interpret, and speak about the world in ways consistent with the Latter-day Saint community's doctrines and commitments.
