Auzias, Jean-Marie. "Textes fondateurs et cultures populaires : jalons pour une anthropologie littéraire." Lyon 2, 2001. http://theses.univ-lyon2.fr/documents/lyon2/2002/auzias_jm.
Full textThis is an attempt for reading texts which can be acknowledged as actually literary ones. These texts generally can be got in a French translation or English. This kind of reading is supposed to be somewhat like a dialogue between the book and the reader: quotations but no extracts. We have called in such notions as social group image, culture-anthropologically meant - we often tried to follow what can be called the geological cultural map, the historical and social layers, the syncretisms. We've tried to spot some markers such as the intervention of a trickster, or animism. The undergroup trip, the chtonian and the uranian mythologies. We have stressed on some significant traits of mental universe, cultural chasm, linguistic reformations, etc. The main hypothesis after a ten years work (not including, voyages, learnings, readings from before) consists both of the survival almost everywhere of animism and of the wonderful chance played, in spite of the risks of ethnocide, by the cultural openings due to metis-making and acculturation

Full textThe presence of amorous angels in French 19th century literature may not only be linked to the publication of two poems - Byron's Earth and Heaven and Thomas Moore's Loves of the Angels - both in the wake of the English translation (1821) of the Book of Enoch. The first section shows how, since one of the Septuagint versions from the 3rd century B. C. , these particular angels have been present in European and Oriental literature. The second part aims to highlight how the connections between the angel figure and several heavenly creatures from other mythographic horizons have contributed to the survival of the concept of "amorous angels". The third part makes clear that the French 19th century literary corpus, from 1821 until the beginning of the 20th century, has been a receptacle of echoes from the most ancient traditions
Jardin, Jean-Pierre. "La littérature chronistique en Castille aux XIVe et XVe siècles." Paris 3, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA030108.
Full textAfter the trastamara dynasty ascended the castilian throne, in 1369, appeared a new form of historical literature, stemming from the alphonsine tradition of spain general chronicles. Each one of these twenty-two texts, presented by their authors - famours names of literature or politics - as simple summaries, was in fact a primitive form of castilian national history, which answered the needs of the new society born of the trastamara revolution and particularly the on es of the new nobility who dominated it. Technical progress, especially the development of printing, put an end to that transitional literature

Full textThe introduction presents in chronological order - from the beginnings of Greek literature to the byzantine scholars - the literary sources on which this reconstitution of the mythical life of the Greek hero Achilles has been based; it also defines how the iconographical documents - which only represent an extra contribution - have been used. The following seven chapters correspond to the different episodes in Achilles’ life : 1) Achilles’ origins; 2) Achilles’ childhood ; 3) Achilles and the preludes to the Troyan war 4) Achilles and the first difficulties of the Troyan expedition; 5) Achilles during the first years of the Troyan war ;6) Achilles during the last year of the Troyan war; 7) Achilles death and after-life. The account of the legendary events has always been connected with the sources on which it is based and incorporates the different known variants. Hence some reflections about the origin of these variants, about their interactions and about the influence of similar myths. In the present study the author has used and compared the accounts of Greek and Latin writers, poets and prose-writers as well, and the analyses of their ancient and modern commentators

Full textIn poetry, woman is idealized as an object of love. She is the symbol of maternal love, fecondity and eternal life, and is compared to the sun, the moon, the stars, heavenly paradises. This image of an idol is far from the reality suggested by ethnographic and sociological studies. In society, where she has her own existence, woman is inferior in the judicial way only. There are many proofs of women in power, politics, nursing, helper in war, but also as a peace bearer and ruler, as can be seen in the ruins of saba and palmyre, where women were queens. At the opposite of the idle muse of poets, woman is also present in economic and cultural life of society. She is able to work in field and to manage her one fortune. In poetic literary circles, she puts herself in competition with poets through her many intellectual activities. In family life, woman is different too. In poetry she is seen as a young virgin, of perfect forms, of wealthy surroundings wich permit her an idle and luxurious life style, totally at the opposite of reality in life, where she is a wife and mother. She is the bearer of traditions such as providing male descendants, watching over the children's education, arranging family feasts and looking after the home. They are both different : in poetry she is an idealized statue ; in real life she is the exemplary mother

Full textIn this doctoral thesis, our goal is to assess, describe and interpret the intertextuality of the Wisdom Books (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus) in the major works of the four great classical moralists : Pascal, La Rochefoucauld, La Fontaine and La Bruyère. An examination of the literary and historical context reveals how biblical wisdom literature permeates the classical period. In our first part, we analyse the sapiential intertextuality by focusing on the use of commonplaces or topoi. This topical use of the Wisdom Books is particularly significant in the Fables of La Fontaine and the Caractères of La Bruyère. In our second part, we examine the philosophical and theological impact of the Wisdom Books. Ecclesiastes, in its criticism of illusions and in its "epicurean" moments, appears as a fundamental reference for the four moralists. For them, the Wisdom Books seem more particularly devoted to the expression of human misery. However, religious and inspired wisdom infuses many pages of Pascal's work. In our third part, we show that the Wisdom Books constitute a rhetorical model for the moralists, especially concerning brevity and discontinuity. This model, weakly constraining for La Rochefoucauld, stronger, but not preponderant in La Fontaine and La Bruyère, proves to be essential for Pascal, and especially the Pascal of the Pensées
Sissao, Alain-Joseph. "La littérature orale moaaga comme source d'inspiration de quelques romans burkinabé." Paris 12, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA120022.
Full textThis work aims at elucidating the process of creation in contemporay burkinabe written literature by some novelists. The main conjecture of this work is articulated around this assertion : the moaaga oral literature is a source of inspiration for this written literature. To this end, our investigation has led us to conclude that the latter gets is material from the cultural sub-foundations of moaaga oral literature. The exploration is done around linguistic and cultural base of the oral literature of the moose - the proverb, riddle of short tale, the war name, fable , short story - which make up the base of inspiration for the novelists. These narrative and non narrative types appear as the most dominant level of borrowxing from moaaga oral tradition. At a lower level of borrowing, the traditional narrotors, more discreet, are used as real witnesses of moaaga oral literature. The transformation of integrated speeches and their polyphony is at the centre of the question of intertextuality. For this, the examination of some key motifs drawn from oral literature and moaaga folklore univeil the subtle influence of moaaga traditional literature. The burkinabe novelists this reingject the moaaga oral traditional while adapting their creation to the new situation which is no longer thart of traditional africa, but rather that of modern africa in the midist of change
Liébert, Yves. "L'Image de la "truphé" étrusque dans les sources littéraires gréco-latines." Limoges, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996LIMOA006.
Full textAs no etruscan historiography has reached us, our sources on the history of ancient tuscans are drawn essentially from greek and latin texts. These texts deal with the problem of etrurians people only in a fragmentary, and very often biased way. Thus, from those graeco-latin literary sources, one can witness the emergence of several images of the ancient tuscans, whose origin already puzzled the ancients; beside the image - a positive one - of the most religious of all peoples, one has to acknowledge the negative images of cruel barbarians, pirates or debauchees. It is the latter aspect, traditionally called truphe, according to the term used by ancient greek authors, that the present study aims at analysing. The first chapter, after an historical account of the question, endeavours to provide a definition for the concept of truphe - luxuria in latin sources -,that is to say a soft and voluptuous way of life, to determine its conditions of appareance and evolution. It then presents a corpus of greek and latin texts in relation with this image of the tuscan people. The second chapter is devoted to one of the essential sources of the etruscan truphe: a long fragment of theopompus of chios, centred on the etruscan woman and on the banquets of ancient tuscans. One can note the ethnographic character of the text, which follows along the lines of herodotus, and the realities of etruscan society in which it could find its origins, and of which it offers a distorted echo. The third chapter is a study of a long fragment of diodorus of sicily, which follows posidonius of apamea and reveals information on etruria which is of an essentially roman origin

Full textToni Morrison addresses in her five novels the problems of Afro-American women in a family or communal environment, thus breaking a ling literary silence. For the Afro-American woman, "slavery" has now taken on a mostly cultural and social meaning. Faced with a limited amount of personal freedom, she has to fight her way toward self-definition and worth. This often means breaking up with the community and embarking on a quest of her own or guiding the novel's hero, often a male. Throughout the narrative, Toni Morrison makes constant references to mythic structure and motifs, mainly to reshape them for her own uses. Her female characters often are magicians whose word is a sacred and powerful one. It reunites the hero with his long-lost tradition, roots and name. The author's message extends to contemporary society where mother-centered families are now becoming the rule. As both a woman and the head of the family, the Afro-American woman is able to redefine a new family. As a figure of "the parent", she offers the possibility of alternative lifestyles in modern society which allow the individual to function in a more wholesome way within the group (family or other)

Full textThe representation of childhood is a major theme in Litterature. The atypical images of the child found in the Greek-Roman civilization and in Religious texts appear in forms that are profane and entertaining through storytelling, a uiversal litterary genre which has nurtured hunanity's children from the mists of time. My research aims at analysing the didactic function along with the aesthetic aspect of this litterary genre. Then, using a comparative method, analyse the various representations of the child in French and African tales. Tales are inseparable from the cultural context in which they are told, thus conveying messages through symbolic codes underlying the imagination of a particular social group. This socio-anthropological approach to storytelling is carried out concurrently with a litterary approach based on stylistics and theories common to tales. My aim is to analyse the poetry in tales with a view to revealing the charm of these ageless narratives
Martinez, Victor. "Aux sources du dehors : poésie, pensée, perception, dans l'oeuvre d'André Du Bouchet." Paris 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA030077.
Full textThe work of André du Bouchet finds its source in the world of the senses. The poetic image is a translation of those perceived characteristics, captured at the level of the phenomenon, which are at the core of language. Language stops being a code or a convention and becomes the translation of a complex enunciative, kinesthetic and postural system, to which the body is central. The contributions of the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty and Maldiney, the work of Guillaume on language and that of Peirce or Lyotard on the sign, allow the poetic work to centre on the question of "feeling", and finally resolve a fundamental paradox: attention to the "outside" of the language does not lead to a descriptive, objective or referential poetry, but to the idea that reality is an invisible and total phenomenon, that is irreducible to an objective semiotic. In opposition to the "hermeneutics" or "politics" of the event, Du Bouchet inscribes, in the heart of the poetic language, an event without sign. A poetics of "the rapture of the mute" turns its back on a poetics of "place" and "presence", while affirming, paradoxically, a reality refractory to the sign. This thesis, focusing on an extended corpus including interviews and unpublished texts, makes it possible to position a body of work central to poetry and literary criticism : a "criticism of intonation " evolves out of the process, a criticism which could take over from the long-standing "rhetoric of the image" or the more recent "critics of rhythm"
Freu, Christel. "Les figures du pauvre dans les sources italiennes tardives." Strasbourg 2, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004STR20051.
Full textThe figures of the poor are varied in late Latin literature. Different words are used to designate the poor, thus qualifying different degrees of poverty : the egentes are the most destitute, the inopes are the weak, the pauperes are members of the plebs who according to recent statements by historians, formed a "middle class". But this taxinomy is not sufficient, words being sometimes used interchangeably, sometimes totally out of accordance with their usual meanings. To understand this complexity, it was necessary to restore the context in which the vocabulary of poverty was used. Christian authors build the most complex image of the poor, which is not necessarily the most consistant
Torres, Mariño Vicente. "Grèce et Orient dans l'oeuvre de Marguerite Yourcenar : sources, confrontations, échanges." Paris 3, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA030016.
Full textGreece and Orient can be seen as the two great sources of Yourcenar's writing, viewed here through the converging prism of surmounted contradictions and the methodological tools they propose, from logos or myth as the vision of universality, to ritual and adoration as the threshold where profane meets divine. Referring to the Greek schools of philosophy, dominated by stoicism, or to such mystical oriental tendencies as Buddhism, Yourcenar's writing begins by sanctifying reality before integrating it into a paradoxically creative void, a universe of nothingness or of plenty, where the characters' nuclear conception of self, dislocated by a diastolic back-beat, merges into the cosmos, annihilating categories of thought and language, mirages of memory and time. Visible at the outset, over the years this Greek-Oriental theme declines to an imperceptible thread in the writing of novels ranging from Alexis ou le Traité du vain combat to Un homme obscur

Full textPaul Ricoeur when describing the relationship between history and fiction conversely speaks of « fictionalization of history » and of « historicization of fiction ». In all its novelistic works Boubacar Boris Diop creates the mythification of history by relating key events in the history of Africa, especially colonization, independence, civil wars, and the Rwandan genocide. In this process of mythicizing history, intertextual elements are called in favor of maintaining an indigenous model. There is then a transformation of history into myth. The writer awakens the memory of history by inventing an interdisiplinary universe. It is clear that the question of identity is also a central concern for the writer. Beyond its roots in the history and politics of post-colonial African states, the work of Boubacar Boris Diop is where he claims his cultural identity. This identity is apparent at two levels : first in the narrative with the insertion of oral tradition genres in his texts and then through the insertion realities specific to the Wolof culture in particular and the African culture in general

Full textContemporary Tibetan-medium fiction literature appeared on the Tibetan cultural scene (in the PCR) in the early 1980s. To date, about twenty novels and more than three thousand short stories have been published. This PhD dissertation begins with a panorama of the main traditional (i. E. , pre-1950) 'fiction' texts which paved the way to modern fiction writing. The second chapter is dedicated to a survey of the world of books, newspaper and translations in pre-1950 Tibet. The third chapter begins with a review of the intellectual and, more specifically, publishing and media circles in Tibet since 1950, followed by an introduction to the main fictional currents today : tale, realism, magical realism, historical fiction and heroic fantasy. Last, the fourth part scrutinises the functions of this fiction in today's Tibetan society : it shows that writers play an ambiguous role since they are often considered, and consider themselves, as messengers of modernity, reform and rejection of traditions, while at the same time conveying a message of resistance to Chinese domination and valorising through their works crucial elements of Tibetan identity. Their writings develop a certain idea of territorial consciousness, of language and ethnic awareness, of their perception of history and of religion. We hope to show that writers and fiction literature today take part to the construction of a Tibetan identity awareness today
Fouligny, Mary-Nelly. "Les sources antiques dans la "Démonolâtrie" de Nicolas Rémy." Nancy 2, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998NAN21026.
Full textThis thesis is a literary approach to a historic work on the outbreak of witchcraft in Lorraine at the end of the 16th century; such a study of literary influences aims at promoting historical knowledge with further information: there is no discrepancy between the author's culture and barbarity but a link of cause to effect. The first part is an introduction to the main issue: after listing all the trials and literary references, we discover that ancient sources surprisingly prevail. The second part puts forward three causes. The first one investigates the predictable part played by ancient sources: it shows that it is just a secondary one; then that antiquity is put to use as there is a direct link between witchcraft in antiquity and in the 16th century; it finally focuses on ancient comparison. The second one shows that antiquity has a bearing on argumentation whether it be unquestionable authority, the consensus on various sources, or a fortiori reasoning. The third one range from the commonplace use of ancient sources to a more original one: not only do they illustrate processes but they also contribute to their elaboration: the rediscovery of antiquity thus is at the root of the outbreak of witchcraft. After defining a method based on antiquity, the third part puts it to use. However diverse, the references to antiquity prove to be far less numerous: their true origin has been concealed. Is antiquity alone involved? it is not, as ancient sources essentially show up through contemporary authors; the comparison between the various ones corroborates it. Hence the paradox of ancient sources: they are first appealed to as a way of masking modern influences; but a few centuries later, they finally disclose them: Erasmus, malleus malefic arum, Bodin and, above all, Vier. Antiquity thus appears to be the demigod wielding the judicial reality in the 16th century and the token of the borrowings from the moderns. Latina is ever alive in history

Full textThe conclusions of this thesis discuss the part of baudelairian influence that can be found in the surrealist production. The examination of the baudelairien passages cited by breton's group allows, at first, the localization of the points of baudelairien philosophy retained by the surrealists. However, it is only an introduction to our subject. The study of the baudelairien notions found in the surrealists writings occupies the second part of this thesis. We insists, particularly, on the image of the creator-prophet, the notion of artway of knowledge, the myths of the golden age, of the lost paradise, of the orient and of the childhood. The imagination's role - "queen of the faculties" - in these two currents of thought is not at all neglected, as well as dream's, black humour's and madness's role. Another part of our work examins also the infleunce of beaudelairian form. Finally, the study of three crucial points concludes this thesis : the relation between the poet and the society, hermetism and love

Full textThis dissertation focuses on Portia (1568) and Cornelia (1574), the first two Roman tragedies of Robert Garnier [1545 (?) – 1590], the sixteenth century French poet and playwright. The study proceeds in three stages. First, we try to identify, verse by verse, the historical sources of these plays. The results are set out in two tables. In addition, there is a table of historical sources for Mark-Anthony (1578). Secondly, we analyse the techniques used by the author to manage his sources, examine their influence on his work and assess his work accroding to the literary concept of the sixteenth century. Finally, we deal with the criticism. We discuss also the type of problems and the special poetic qualities encountered in the texts. Our study confirms the very important role that historical matters play in these creations, brings out the artistic caracter of the playwright and gives a new judgement to these tragedies that have long been underestimated

Full textThe positive reviews – both editorial and critical – achieved by Foscolo's 1809 lecture On the origin and duty of literature have overshadowed the Italian author's text corpus of the classes he's given at the University of Pavia. This study is willing to explain this specific aspect of Foscolo's work, often skipped by literary criticism. For this aim we reenact Foscolo's teaching experience in Pavia and the importance of it in His philosophical and literary thought. His classes alone include a good number of key themes of His literary work. Those catalyze the suggestions coming from his readings and the literary debates of the previous years, that have fed His thinking, at that time still in development , but soon to be settled in His critical thought, clearly visible in His English period work (1817-1827). In these classes particularly, Foscolo tries to reach two primary goals: 1) to define the civil duties of a literary man by a new ethical and political definition of oratory; 2) to create an educational project for the middle class; hence it bursts the need for creating a common unitary language and a national literary tradition as well as the assert of a new historiographical model, able to go beyond the Eighteenth Century scholarship boundaries. This study is concluded with a timeline reconstruction of the publishing history of His classes and their commentary. Such text lessons, critically revised and corrected (compared to their last edition available – edited by Emilio Santini – that failed to consider important revisions and different versions) are the foundation of the commentary, a critical and historical marginalia showing the sources used by Foscolo and of the use – either directly or indirectly – he made in His literary, philosophical and linguistic thought

Full textReading the Greek geographical and historical descriptions written before the time of Eratosthenes, one notices that, for all these authors, the Euxine Pontus was not yet a geographical concept : places, peoples and actions, mythical, literary and historical, located in this region from a modern perspective, were situated by the Greeks of the Archaic and Classical times either in the “Beyond”, or in the North of the œkouménè, or in some other non-Aegaean Hellas, or in a “Scythian arc”. The history of this geographical (as well as ethnographic and historical) figure constitutes the main focus of the present research. I begin with some theoretical prolegomena, in which I suggest, amongst other things, a new taxonomy of ancient spatial perceptions, including “hodological”, “topological”, and “oekoumenological” points of view, as well as a definition of ancient geography based upon notions of heterogeneity, transgenericity, conservatism, and determinism. With this terminological foundation established, and employing a combination of evidence (linguistic, ancient and occasionally mediaeval literature, history, iconography, and Pontic archaeology), in the five chapters that follow, I analyse the Pontic references to be found in the Homeric epics, in Hesiod, Eumelus of Corinth, Hipponax, Aristeas of Proconnesus, Hecataeus of Miletus, Pindar, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus’s Histories, Hippocrates’ De aere, Xenophon’s Anabasis, Pseudo-Scylax’s Periplus, and the fragments of Eratosthenes. The dissertation therefore leads to a history of the perceptions and representations of the Black Sea region and, more broadly, of the Greek œkoumene in Archaic and Classical times

Full textAfter his spiritual search, which he calles "inferno", Strindberg began to use a theme, the essentials of which enables him to develop his own conception of his life. Living is a painful experience, this is also the philosophy of the Buddha. For Strindberg, life on earth is a purgatory; reality, nightmare. He takes the essence of reality, remodels it and creates poetry out of it. It is during this terrible life on earth that man is punished to alone for sins and thus obtain salut. But the world created by the writer is not only builte on exter nal reality but he elevates it to a transcendal plane. We made a limited study of buddhist terminology and then analyses its use in 7 of Strindberg’s' works. We formulated his ontological position, in order to synthesise his own philosophy as it influenced by Buddhism. To conclude: the two Buddhist ideas that he incorporated into his works are that of patience with things of they are and the accepance of misery as according to the law of karma, in order to atone for one's fault.

Full textThe challenge of tracing back the history of the Middle Age by interpreting some historians' psychology accounts to some extent for his psychological portraits to be somewhat different from reality. The medieval reality uncovered through the dramatic art and the critics of M. Druon leads to a metamorphosis of the Middle Age. The three parts of this thesis respectively emphasize three major aspects of this historical period : the dull Middle Age is less the one of Jacques de molay's malediction than that of characters with fiendish passions. In the second part, M. Druon reveals the power from a committed writer is shown. In the third part, M. Druon reveals the malfunctioning of a bloody XIVth century, wellreal, that led to the terrible Hundred Years' War. So the originality of M. Druon consists in combining his detailed documentation with his own interpretation of the psychology of some historians

Full textOne of the most original characteristics of the poetic work of Vicent Andrés Estellés, Catalan-speaking poet born in Valencia (Burjassot, 1924-1993) is based on the plethora of references and quotations, from multiple and varied sources, to universal poetry. The intertextual modus operandi and the interactions between different authorities are on the first line of a poetic programme in wich the graphic and structural aspects from paratext to quotation, recognised as such, as well as références and allusions to iconography, everything contributes to built a sort of palimpsest. The various technics used in each of the poet's collection follow an allways specific goal, that regains a comprehensive coherence in a corpus where two elements take precedent : literary and political transgression as well as a decompartimentalized approche regarding the traditionnal compartimentalization of literary genres, arts and history of literature

Full textAfter dealing with the magical phenomenon in the old icelandic commonwealth (first part, this doctoral thesis studies the anthropological (physical and psychical) characteristics of the icelandic magicians and wizards, and discusses the question about the existence of chamanism in the old norse literary sources (second part). The third part is composed of a sociological description of the icelandic magicians: juridical, economical and social (with a discussion about the profession of magician) situation, ethnical geographical origins, dwelling forms, family life and sexual behaviour, and social relationship

Full textThis dissertation proposes to reassess the status of Iberian sources within a corpus of English plays staged between the last years of the reign of Elizabeth I and the beginning of the Jacobean era, a period marked by deep socio-cultural changes. It does not focus on the well-known and often studied tension between Hispanophilia and Hispanophobia which characterises the representation of Anglo-Iberian relations at the time, but considers this relationship from a textual, cultural and aesthetic perspective including the go-betweens that, at a European scale, enabled these texts to circulate while they were altering them. This work thus deals with the networks of influence of Iberian texts belonging to 15th-and-16th-century court culture and the impact they had on early modern English drama. In particular, it tackles the sentimental romance Tractado de amores de Arnalte y Lucenda by Diego de San Pedro, court poetry by Juan Boscán and Garcilaso de la Vega with the long poem Leandro and sonnet XXIX « Pasando el mar Leandro el animoso », the pastoral romance Los siete libros de La Diana by Jorge de Montemayor and the anonymously published picaresque tale La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes, y de sus fortunas y adversidades. These works are set in conversation with didactic and philosophical texts such as El libro aureo de Marco Aurelio by Antonio de Guevara, The Courtier by Baldassare Castiglione translated by Boscán and El Examen de Ingenios by Juan Huarte de San Juan: they all deal with the figure of the courtier and the notion of « service ». As to the corpus of English dramatic texts chosen for this study, it is mainly composed of plays by Shakespeare, notably The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Twelfth Night et The Winter’s Tale. These works are related to other contemporary writings: Hero and Leander by Christopher Marlowe, Blurt Master Constable by Thomas Dekker, along with texts by John Lyly and Ben Jonson. By supplementing and redirecting the studies addressing plots and characters in the English dramatic literature, the traditional field of investigation of Source Studies, this dissertation discusses these elements from a perspective which takes into account the societal and theatrical dimensions inherent to the literature born out of the Iberian court society : this innovative literature reflects, shapes and questions especially the theatricality of an environment where individuals never cease to stage themselves. Alternately authors, dedicatees and key-characters and figures of these fictions they enjoy thoroughly, the members of the Iberian court society thus provide early modern English writers with a playground conducive to dramaturgical innovation and experimentation
Ben, Sassi Salwa. "L’Élégie chez Rousseau. Des sources latines au roman des lumières." Thesis, Paris 3, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA030170/document.
Full textRousseau’s elegy deals with the themes of the lament for the death, of the absence and of the loss of one beloved. Rousseau seems to be influenced by the latin poets such as Tibulle, Propers and Ovide. Nevertheless, he is distinguished from them by the way, with which he treats the motifs. These are submitted to the nature of the characters in the novel of Julie ou la Nouvelle Héloïse. In addition, Rousseau uses these motifs in different other contexts. Then, elegy becomes a source of "tools" to say an idea or a point of view. Rousseau’s elegy is more than a statement of complaints or a sad love story: it is an art of writing
Osuga, Saori. "Séraphîta et la Bible : sources scripturaires du mysticisme balzacien." Thesis, Paris 4, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA040202.
Full textSéraphîta (1833-1835) is Honoré de Balzac’s mystical novel in which the author condensed his religious feelings nursed since his youth. In this work he introduced numerous biblical citations and images alongside mystical and theosophical thoughts. The present thesis aims to bring to light the diverse biblical and mystical sources of Balzac’s spiritual text, including his own readings and interpretations. Part one is a bibliographic study of Bibles used by Balzac and Swedenborg, as well as those used by Daillant de La Touche and Jean-Pierre Moët, who introduced swedenborgian thought into France; following this, biblical citations found within Séraphîta are analysed. In part two, three biblical representations of Séraphîta-Séraphîtüs are explored, namely: the Seraph, the Christ and the Word. Inspired by Théophile Bra’s statue of an angel, Balzac developed the image of the angelic being in the course of its redaction. At the same time this angel fulfils the function of the Christ, in both concrete and symbolic ways, and in its final ascension becomes the Word itself. In the third and last part, there is an exploration of mystical authors read by Balzac and their influence on his text, namely: Thomas a Kempis, Saint Teresa of Avila, Jacob Boehme, Antoinette Bourignon, Mme Guyon, Fénelon, Saint-Martin, Eckartshausen, and especially Swedenborg. It will be argued that by taking the Bible as his foundation, and drawing spiritual ideas from various mystics and theosophists, Balzac sought to refresh Christian mysticism and lead his readers, in their period of doubt, to faith and love in God

Full textAt a time when Norway was trying to assert its identity, authors of national romanticism such as Wergeland, Bjørnson or Ibsen widely took their inspiration from a tradition which made the peasant (bonde) the most representative icon of national History. They however manipulated this cultural heritage, as have authors from the next generation such as Hamsun or Olav Duun. The predominant role these authors attributed to nature brings us to consider nature as the “matrix” for the works of that time. A chronotopic analysis inspired by Bakhtine brings into perspective this staging of the past and of nature. The illusion of historical authenticity hides a creative exercise on writing that opens to an imaginary world and brings a spiritual relief to those facing death

Full textThis thesis investigates issues of translation from French to English in post-Conquest England by means of a comparison of two Middle English romances and their respective French sources. The first part of the thesis will examine the relationship between the Roman de Brut, written by the francophone author Wace in the 12th century, and its English translation, La3amon’s Brut. The second part is devoted to a comparative study of French and English versions of a romance about Alexander the Great, the 12th century Roman de toute chevalerie, by Thomas of Kent, and its 14th century translation, Kyng Alisaunder

Full textIn all his works, and in particular in the lord of the rings, the fantasy world created by Tolkien reflects his philosophy of art. The first part of the thesis seeks to analyze this philosophy of art, of which the kernel is "sub-creation»: parallel to divine creation there is, according to Tolkien, a sub-creation which is the artist's work. By means of this sub-creation Tolkien is able to create a fantastic realism, a new sort of truth. He manages this by using a blend of traditional literary forms (quest, heroic adventures, fairy-stories, legends) and personal inventions (world of "middle-earth"). If one considers this literary creation based on a mixture of erudition and invention, it may be wondered which type of reader Tolkien wished to address: child or adult? The second part studies the sources that nourished Tolkien’s works, by attempting to differentiate between myths, legends and fairy-stories. This part reinforces the idea that Tolkien, who was highly erudite, indeed follows a great tradition, but he also adds to it another dimension, thereby leaving his own personal and original mark on the traditional material. The aim of part three is to evaluate the use of personal experience in Tolkien’s works: Tolkien is a twentieth-century man and so inevitably this world is reflected in his tales. This part of the study is not only about the author's roots and the place of contemporary history in his work, but also his fundamental motivations - religion, friendship and love. In conclusion it may be said that in his "fantasy" books, Tolkien did not evade the real world as it is, but wished to disguise it so as to speak more effectively about reality as he perceives it

Full textDespite being an exotic animal and coming from elsewhere, monkeys have been the subject of special attention from Greek and Greco-Roman culture. The animal that the contemporary imagination considers the closest to man by virtue of its morphotypical and ethological characters was, on the contrary, conceived by the ancients as the most aberrant living being when compared to man precisely because of such a failed similarity. Ancient Greek imaginary about monkeys feeds on relational practices largely different from those that may concern human beings nowadays: ancient Greeks indeed did not know any great apes and the prototypical representative of the non-human primates was the Barbary ape. By analysing the information that zoological and medical sources give us concerning both the anatomy and the ethology of monkeys, it is possible to understand other seemingly more obscure aspects that are part of the cultural representations conceived by the Greeks for this animal.In particular, monkeys enter into the same symbolic configurations as other figures in ancient Greek imagery especially when associated with imperfectly virile or masculine figures such as children or eunuchs as well as effeminate homosexuals. The association with elite social circles very often linked to a life considered debauched and their condition marked by physical imperfection in addition to a submission to the master always considered as precarious, make the monkey be considered a real geloion mimēma, a laughable counterfeit of the human being and of his perfect prototype, namely the adult male of free condition

Full textThis dissertation explores the resurgence of motifs related to Celtic cultures in Shakespeare’s plays, that is to say the way the pre-Christian and pre-Roman cultures of the British Isles permeate the dramatic works of William Shakespeare. Such motifs do not always evidently appear on the surface of the text. They sometimes do, but most often, they require a thorough in depth exploration. This issue has thus far remained relatively unexplored; in this sense we can talk of a ‘construction’ of meaning. However, the cultures in question belong to an Ancient time, therefore, we may accept the idea of a ‘reconstruction’ of a forgotten past. Providing a rigorous definition of the term ‘Celtic’ this study offers to examine in detail the presence of motifs, first in the Chronicles that Shakespeare could have access to, and takes into account the notions of orality and discourse, inherent to the study of a primarily oral culture. The figure of King Arthur and the matter of Britain, seen as the entrance doors to the subject, are studied in relation to the plays, and in the Histories, the analysis of characters from the ‘margins’, i.e. Wales, Ireland and Scotland provides an Early Modern vision of ‘borderers’. Only two plays from the Shakespearean corpus are set in a Celtic historical context – Cymbeline and King Lear – but motifs surge in numerous other works, such as Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Tempest, The Winter’s Tale and others. This research reveals a substrate that produces a new enriching reading of the plays
Arcemisbéhère, Rémy. "Le travail des sources dans l’œuvre de Gérard de Nerval." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020SORUL123.
Full textFor Gérard de Nerval, the notion of source can have different meanings (it can have a literary, a geographical or a temporal one). Our hypothesis is that the dispersions in the sources of Gérard de Nerval, both formal and thematic, are related thanks to his specific way of writing. Our goal is not to list every single source that the poet used but to elucidate the true meaning behind his resort to someone else’s text and what this implies for literature itself. We base this thesis on a reflection on genetics and philology in order to measure what Gérard de Nerval read and how much he took from it and we use the tools developed by the theorists of intertextuality. We first characterize, using all the means of literary history, the way Nerval and people of his time have considered the notion of source whether aesthetic, political or cultural. Next, we analyze the textual presence of the sources, showing that the need to quote changes Nerval’s ways regarding play, poetry, or storytelling. Last, we try to give a definition of source poetics by showing how the projection into other texts constitutes an original way to bring new meanings

Full textThis thesis work concerns the memory of the occupation of Portugal by the Napoleonic armies, between 1807 and 1811. The aim is to locate the traces left by these events in both the private and public domain, in order to define a typology of the memory of the Portuguese people concerning this historic episode. The generic compass is a diachronic study to locate these traces, from their origin to the present day. From a synchronic perspective, the focus on certain paradigms aims to deepen the mnesic specificities of each field. After following the course of the memory of these events in fields as diverse as historiography, art, oral discourse and commemorations, and studying on certain specific phenomena, un analysis will be made of the evolution of this memory, using shapes of its crystallization, in order to understand its implications

Full textWhile the eleventh and twelfth centuries saw the rise of vernacular literature, the historical domain had to wait until the thirteenth century before the first universal history was written completely in the language of oïl, the Histoire ancienne jusqu’à César. Originally inspired by the same genre in Latin, and translated from this language, medieval universal history in French, in the last centuries of the Middle Ages, discreetly dissociates itself from its model in order to become an autonomous genre, leading to original works. Thanks to the stories about Aeneas contained in universal histories from the 13th to the 15th century, it is possible to observe the different manifestations of this phenomenon of autonomous knowledge in French. The use of French sources by later stories at the expense of the Aeneid used by the first vernacular universal histories confirms the concrete authority acquired by authors of medieval historical texts. As the stories about Aeneas are unpublished, the primary purpose of this thesis is to give readings to these texts. The first part presents interpretative transcriptions of the texts of the seven universal histories used for this study, namely, the Histoire ancienne jusqu’à César, the Chronique dite de Baudouin d’Avesnes, the Manuel d’histoire de Philippe de Valois, the Myreur des histors of Jean d'Outremeuse, Jean Mansel's Fleur des hystoires, the Miroir du Monde and the Bouquechardière of Jean de Courcy. The second part concentrates on the genre of universal history and more precisely on the evolution of the narratives about Aeneas, their sources, their constants, their differences, which make it possible to observe the constitution of a knowledge autonomous history in French. Particular attention is finally paid to the evolution of the character of Aeneas in this corpus, since the son of Anchises is the place where one can observe the result of the evolution of a history in French acquiring its independence from sources first Latin.
