Dubé, Jacinthe. "Ducharme et Vian, phonographes du pornographe? : approche de l'esthétique de la transgression langagière dans "Le nez qui voque" et "L'automne à Pékin"." Thesis, Université Laval, 2012. http://www.theses.ulaval.ca/2012/29456/29456.pdf.
Full textIn this dissertation are analysed two major figures of the transgression that characterizes the 20th century, Boris Vian and Réjean Ducharme. This parallel is born of the interdiscursivity that is present in the work of Ducharme and of the fascination of Vian for America. It suggests a reading of their two imaginative worlds through the exploration of two novels, Le nez qui voque and L'automne à Pékin. In both works we see deployed, through transgressive language, a playful criticism of institutions and, more broadly, of consumer and meritocratic culture. The figure of the commercial writer, labelled as pornographer by Ducharme, acts as a scapegoat in this criticism, just as Ducharme's and Vian's multilingualism transforms them in phonographs who play with words and language with complete freedom.
Suhner, Clotilde. "Jeu et spectacle dans l'oeuvre de Boris Vian." Nancy 2, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997NAN21014.
Full textWe have chosen to study what could be called Boris Vian's shows (that is: both drama and variety shows) in two different aspects: that of texts written in order to be performed on stage as well as that of "shows" included in works. So, this study, based on a close examination of texts, deals with the whole of Boris Vian's works (plays, songs and sketches as well as novels or short stories). We have tried to define "show" in connection with play (or game) and we have then pointed out its importance, whether the show should be play, song, or other forms of "show" such as dandyism. We have been interested in its limits; we have endeavored to establish what it aims at as well as the way it allows communication with the audience. At the same time, we have tried to specify what the functions of shows are and we have noticed that, if they are essential to the structure of numerous plays and novels, they also contribute to relate writing and playing. In order to understand Boris Vian's shows better, we have wished to set them in relation to the present-day world. Thus, they prove to be most often dual, at once critical and “pataphysical” and they enable their author to stand aloof. Vian probably used "show" as an instrument to express the "dandy revolt" of pleasure against death, but the true modernity of these works lies perhaps more in their "second degree", typical of the present-day society, and in a choice : that of "picture" and interactivity

Full textOur study attempts to demonstrate that the fantastic and the irrational in Boris Vian arise of a conjunction between science and literature. Through the foundation and the mechanisms of the writing of Boris Vian, we analyzed the dual and duplication in the work of the author, his revolt against the irrational and the vianesque fantastic hybrid

Full textThis research is a study of fantasy in all boris vian's works. The fantasy is taken as the main line of the study which is made up of three parts: the fantasy's language-universe, the destructive fantasy universe, and the paradoxical fantasy. As a starting point, the language-universe presents a play on words (the game of phonology, the game of morphology and the tendency to neologism), the play on syntagm (the polysemy, the literal understanding and the repetition) and the play on paradigm (the substitution of words, the evolution of sentences and the transmatation of images). In the second part, the destructive fantasy universe is built on three evolutionary processes : the liberator humour the pleasing humour, the black humour and absurd humour), the corrosive irony (blasphemer, anarchist and antimilitarist), the arbitrary metamorphosis (objet=animal=man) the last part deals with the paradoxical fantasy universe: the negative pole ---pseudo-fantastic (illnesses as the seeds and death as the finality), the positive pole---pseudo-marvelous (poetry as the harmony among the senses of taste, smell, hearing and feel). Between these two poles is found the pataphysic represented by science-fiction and the music. At his premature departure, boris vian leaves us with an enigmatic smile

Full textWith their force and their singular form, the words, in Boris Vian's work, reveal the life conditions on the human level. Because the figuration of the language forces, which fonctions as the light and the shadow in the "imaginary" writing, reply to the question being raised from the human life. The peculiar logic, found in Boris Vian's text, is the objet of a quest and a comprehension, because it evolves in the total obscurity of the linear time peculiar to his words. There, an ephemeral time is reconstituted through the play of the light and the shadow. To reconstruct this time with this play, is to control his own ephemeral time to overcome and surpass the anguish which Boris Vian encounters in his life. This anguish is, then, organized by itself in the play of the light and the shadow which constructs the space where its form and its force are spelled. The play of the light and the shadow implements a meaning, belonging to the events occurring only in the poetic space, where the light and the shadow make the first impression which we can't meet in other places, and can be comprehended only in that poetic space. And then, the poetic creation, which is equivalent to the total disaccord with the "first reality", permits to create a new reality. The resultant writing constitues another world and develops a new space where the silence of the world evaporates, and where diverse events take place - diverse "modalities of structurization" of the play of the light and the shadow

Full textThis thesis explores the novelistic work of Boris Vian from a stylistic perspective at the intersection of the linguistics of enunciation, pragmatics and textual linguistics. It focuses on the relations between the imaging potential of language and the Vianian creation of a fictional universe. It broadens the traditional perspective that conceives of fictionalization as putting reality in fiction by considering fictionalization as the creation of fiction. The corpus is restricted to one literary genre (novels) and one author. It includes the six novels written under the name Boris Vian (between 1942 and 1953). This choice is motivated by a willingness to characterize both the Vianian novelistic œuvre in its totality and the specificity of the evolution of the Vianian style. This study uses different analytical perspectives to understand the peculiarities of Vianian fiction and to highlight the style and aesthetics of the author in an original way. The study of the linguistic processes at play in Vianian fictionalization, which is at the center of this thesis, seeks to gradually observe the places in the text where fiction enters and exits, plays on words, and figures of speech. This research scrutinizes the recurring tools which allow going from the reader’s world of reference to the world of fiction. The Vianian text often presents a world that baffles the reader because it constantly plays with various (linguistic or literary) norms. Hence the reader needs to “decode” that world to understand the new laws by which it abides. This dissertation therefore proposes a new analytical perspective to further our understanding of Vianian fiction
Bao, Cheng. "La Musique dans l'œuvre de Boris Vian." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019USPCA034/document.
Full textAs a novelist, jazz critic, trumpet player, singer and artistic director, Boris Vian is a versatile man recognized diversely. Omnipresent in his life, the music has given him a keen sense that is certainly part of his originality as a writer. This research aims to investigate the importance of music in his literary universe, as well as the efforts he has devoted to bringing the two arts closer together. By taking a broad view of music as Vian, we have discovered a world where the writer inscribes the art of Euterpe in many ways : by the spaces, the instruments, the musicians and the pieces interpreted or quoted. The elements borrowed from jazz have a decisive influence on Vian's novel writing. Boris Vian himself recognizes the importance of music in his "jazz-writing", which is always rhythmic and improvisatory, free and inventive. In the work of fiction, music exerts its influence from the stylistic detail to the macroscopic structure. The first part of our study concerns the explicit presentations of music in his fiction while the following part continues the exploration in a more implicit dimension
Lee, Yong-Seog. "Recherches sur le langage des gestes dans le théâtre de l'absurde : Samuel Beckett et Boris Vian." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040181.
Full textThe objective of this thesis is to reveal and analyze body language in Samuel Beckett and Boris Vian's absurd theater. The insurrection of body and motion language is one of the essential elements in their theater work. The abundance and precision of the body language in the Beckett and Vian characters, their functioning, esthetic and meaning constitute an object of study of considerable importance. Repetitive, fragmentary, serial, absurd, burlesque, derisive, tragic, comic, all their adjectives that describe the nature of Beckett and Vian's body language are the source from which the dramatic elaboration derives. The body language of Beckett and Vian, as an instrument of scenic creation, as a paradoxical unity and as a tragic and comic structure, is a source of esthetic and philosophical meaning

Full textThe animal is foremost a movement, an animation. With Vian, the latter comes in many forms, like in cartoons. In his work, whether real or fictious, born from the imagination confining to hybrid beings and monsters, animals come to life, often sharing the life events of human characters. With them the reader is taken in a farandole of animals, going from celebrations to illness and death. Companions, they even gain a character status, adopting characteristics and behaviours specific to men... They are both the work's material and its language, "animots" originator of the game and the hoax, sometimes up to the burlesque. Notwithstanding they reveal an eye, a scientific knowledge dear to the Afnor engineer who nevertheless rejects the standard with the multiple inventions of neologisms, puns and images. He makes the language "swing" on a melody blown up by jazz rhythm, thus pushing to rimed limits many conventions, without extending to surrealism and friendly Raymond Queneau's Oulipo. Vian the satrap is fanciful... His "gidouille" turns into a wildlife horn of abundance. New fable? « Ani-maux » talk about the world, revealing its cruelties and violences : world at war, racism, sadism. From there sets up a language going up to the absurd, running idle. Nevertheless, poetry, like a stunning blow, a magical moment, shows a childish innocence over the world’s beauty among which animals reign. Final provocation? Actually, through animals Vian constantly reveals the paradox between the man and his work. Between a cheerful farandole and a jazz rhythm inherited from black men, he is torn between the scream of a skinned beast and an ephemeral chant, like a “snail kiss”. With this scream resonating on the canvass, or on his “trompinette”, Vian prints his hand to every arts and by willingly putting words across the “animots/animals”, he weaves between a man of diversion and a creator of fictions
Pradère-Ascione, Clémentine. "La fantaisie noire dans la fiction en prose de Boris Vian (Romans, nouvelles, pièce de théâtre)." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015USPCA076.
Full textBoris Vian's literary work calls to mind by the feelings it arouses. For a long time it nevertheless remained unknown concealed by its author's protean talents. Boris Vian, whose texts were mostly published posthumously, wasn't at the beginning seen as a writer to finally get in the Pléiade in 2010, 51 years after his death. To analyse his work it appears natural to consider the idea of fantasy. The fictional world he created remains a fantasist one where imagination and inventiveness prevail. Yet, opposing worlds get mixed up: fairy and cruelty, casualness and anxiety, indifference and seriousness, fantasy and reality. Considering only the fictional texts in prose (novels, short stories and plays) we questionned the legitimity of the fantasy notion. Does its obviousness withstand a further analysis? This questioning drove us to the idea of 'fantaisie noire'. Sometimes magical, incredible, linguistic, comical or parodic, the fantasy collides with the inwardness of the characters and with an anxiety that contaminates both beings and objects. The fantasy defers to an oppresive world where the dream reveals itself in all its power. The come back to fantasy is then only possible by comical detachments and a linguistic inventiveness that contributes to let the work opened
Clara, Christine. "La mise en pièces de l'héritage surréaliste après 1945." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCA058.
Full textWhen André Breton comes back to France in 1946, he's thrilled with theatre plays which manage to renew the dramatic practices of the time. Between 1945 and the late sixties, Ionesco, Schehadé, Gracq, and also Adamov, Arrabal, Audiberti, Limbour, Obaldia, Vian and Weingarten create daring plays which have everything to allure the leader of surrealism.Even if most authors only have a tenuous or even non-existent link with the surrealist movement, they inherit certain notions of first surrealism through playwrights and theatre theorists - such as Artaud and Jarry-, thinkers -philosophers or psychoanalysts- but also stage directors.The twenty plays studied here question human existence by either analyzing the perception of the nonsense of the world and the incapacity to communicate, or the loss of values and reference markers, leading the characters to wonder about their identities, their memories and their desires. Beyond these reflections characteristic of the dramatic production of the post-war period, the playwrights of our corpus explore new dramatic paths. Some propose a linguistic work which aims at finding poetry within daily conversations. Others question what we take for granted through humour and irony. Finally, others turn to the exploration of one’s unconscious, dreams and madness.These three approaches born of individual initiatives of the playwrights get close to a surrealist aesthetics, but they may not by themselves summarize the diversity of dramatic attempts nor define a posteriori a new idea of surrealist theatre
