Abstract:

Cette etude est une analyse esthetique de la configuration spatiale dans l'oeuvre de truman capote (1924-84), l'un des grands romanciers du sud des etats-unis. Puisque l'espace d'une fiction dissimule un ensemble de relations, on examine donc ces liens qui se nouent entre les lieux, le decor, le temps et les personnages. Inventorier les topos, dans une premiere demarche, permet de retracer sommairement l'espace, de le baliser et de le rendre plus vraisemblable. Sous la notion du temps, on examine, d'une part, toute une serie de couleurs regroupees sous deux palettes: une sombre et l'autre clai

Abstract:

Les etats-unis sont au centre des oeuvres de l'ecrivain truman capote. Il a subi au cours de sa vie litteraire les influences de la litterature americaine, de ses contemporains et de l'histoire de son pays. Ces influences essentielles americaines sont determinantes dans le developpement litteraire de l'auteur. Son attirance pour les ecrits de fiction journalistique confere a son oeuvre une base reelle, fondee sur l'experience des differentes regions ou l'ecrivain a vecu. La region du sud correspond a la premiere partie de la vie de l'ecrivain et apparait en recit du souvenir de facon cyclique.

Abstract:

Focusing on new-journalistic nonfiction novels by Truman Capote, Norman Mailer, and John Hersey, this dissertation conceptualizes the discursive practices of news-storytelling as a necessary matrix of storytelling and truthtelling activities. Despite the dominant postmodern emphasis on storytelling over truthtelling in such disciplines as literature, historiography, journalism, and legal studies, storytelling-in-the-discipline is also constrained by a set of assumptions and practices about what constitutes professional storytelling. Since news-stories report on events in a public arena where n

Abstract:

Truman Capote, autor, roteirista e dramaturgo Americano, foi um dos principais escritores americanos de ficção do período pós-guerra, conhecido por receber ampla notoriedade pelo seu romance best-seller In Cold Blood, de 1965, por um estilo de escrita que misturava literatura e jornalismo. No entanto, o trabalho de Capote se estende além do romance antes mencionado. O autor, que se tornaria famoso por sua personalidade também, revelou grande talento como escritor desde muito jovem, trabalhando com temas muito relacionados à sua vida pessoal.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to establish whether In Cold Blood could be considered to be the true account Truman Capote intended it to be. Capote spent many years researching the murder in Kansas with the aim of writing a news story in the style of fiction. Even so, this essay argues that it is not a completely true account. In order to reach a conclusion this essay studies the concept of new journalism and answers the following questions: •What are the problems of depicting reality in writing? •What narrative techniques are found in In Cold Blood? •Is In Cold Blood subjective or objective in it

Abstract:

What can lead authors to come up with entirely different textual portraits of the same nation? My dissertation is an exploration of the rhetorical construction of emotion in nonfiction narratives about the United States from the Second World War to the present. I emphasize the importance of one particular rhetorical strategy: synecdoche, a substitution of part for the whole. I argue that synecdoche is as much a strategy for seduction as it is a rhetorical strategy, and therefore an emotional strategy as well.

Abstract:

This doctoral thesis explores the literarity of reportage, with a focus on the 20th century and modern reportage. The aim is to describe the literary strategies used in modern text-based reportage and how these strategies relate to journalistic standards of credibility and ethics. A primary focus is the question of what the reportage is looking for in the literary, what happens to this literarity when it is used for journalistic purposes, and, in turn, how the literary establishes ethics in the text. By suggesting that a piece of reportage is a journalistic text that simultaneously tel

In TV dramas or the stories in women’s magazines, women were inculcated to pursue a feminine fulfillment in marriage rather than to pursue higher education, independence or equality. Betty Friedan observes, in her The Feminine Mystique, that many housewives, influenced by the feminine mystique, suffered from an unnamable discontentedness and identity crisis. She names this unnamable distress as “the problem that has no name.” The mystique lasted for decades. Hou

Abstract:

This thesis traces the phenomenon of American Southern Gothic literature in relation to its most integral part: the exaggerated monstrosity. Even though the prevalent distorted images are usually associated with aesthetic decadence, their moral symbolism should not be neglected. Furthermore, since the Gothic tradition is congruent with the unconscious and irrational, the absence of any psychological interest poses a major limitation in the Southern studies. Drawing on this approach, the following thesis investigates the role of deformities in connection to the individual's mind. Thus, aside fr

Abstract:

This study examines the literary and journalistic shifts occurring in the 1960s to which both the nonfiction novel and New Journalism arose in response. This thesis examines the two defining texts of this genre: Truman Capote's In Cold Blood and Norman Mailer's The Armies of the Night . I argue that the nonfiction novel was a natural extension of both Capote and Mailer's investments in and experiences with journalism and also provide literary analysis of their texts in light of these investments. The thesis establishes the context and scope of the nonfiction novel, not so much as a sub-categor
