Abstract:

William Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature for the year 1949. He officially received the Prize and delivered his acceptance speech on December 10, 1950. This article re-examines critical responses to the writer’s Nobel Prize address, their interest in the address’s intertextual references to Faulkner’s earlier works and the works of other writers. The language of the address documents significant aspects of Faulkner-the writer’s/Faulkner-the reader’s aesthetic vision from the perspective of his didactic concern with the duties of the writer facing the challenges of his/ her time and as a means of constructing publicly Faulkner’s own literary self-portrait of universal dimensions.

Abstract:

AbstractMo Yan’s multi-layered and allegorical tales were highly inspired by William Faulkner. Mo Yan’s semi-fictional Gaomi Northeast Township was often linked to William Faulkner’s fictional Yoknapatawpha, and he himself was extolled by the Chinese scholars to be “China’s Faulkner.” Inside China, there have emerged a great number of comparative studies on Faulkner and Mo Yan, which are usually conducted from the perspectives of literary forms, native-soil complex, attitudes towards tradition, the influence of local culture, and so on. However, despite the strong record of research on these two writers in China, there is still room for improvement in the study, for after the initial stage of the superficial and sporadic comparison between individual works, the comparative study of Faulkner and Mo Yanis in pressing need of comprehensive and systematic research of these criticisms.

Abstract:

The article offers a comparative reading of the writings of William Faulkner and Polish novelist Włodzimierz Odojewski. Odojewski, the author, among others, of the novels Wyspa ocalenia and Zasypie wszystko, zawieje…, names Faulkner as an important inspiration. The correspondences between Faulkner’s and Odojewski’s works can be found not only on the formal level in the use of stream of consciousness, but also in the creation of characters, especially women, and the construction of spaces.

Abstract:

This article focusses the reception of William Faulkner in Sweden from the first introduction in 1932 until the Nobel Prize announcement in 1950. Through reviews, introductory articles, book chapters, forewords, and translations, the critical evaluation of Faulkner’s particular brand of modernism is traced and analysed. The analysis takes theoretical support from Hans Robert Jauss’ notion of ‘horizon of expectations’, Gérard Genette’s concept of ‘paratext’, and E.D. Hirsh’s distinction between ‘meaning’ and ‘significance’. To pinpoint the biographical and psychologizing tendency in Swedish criticism, Roland Barthes’s notion of ‘biographeme’ is introduced. The analysis furthermore shows that the critical discussion of Faulkner’s modernism could be ordered along an axis where the basic parameters are form and content, aesthetics and ideology, narrator and author, and writer and reader. The problematics adhering to these fundamental aspects are more or less relevant for the modernist novel in general. Thus, it could be argued that the reception of Faulkner in Sweden and Swedish Faulkner criticism epitomize and highlight the fundamental features pertaining to the notion of ‘modernism’, both with regard to its formal and content-based characteristics.

Abstract:

AbstractThis review-essay explores the theoretical and methodological innovations of Richard Godden’s William Faulkner, arguing that it makes a signal contribution to historical materialism in literary studies. The article focuses on Godden’s concept of ‘generative structure’, and relates the term to earlier usages by Aglietta and Jameson. After summarising the close readings of Faulkner’s texts performed by Godden, the article suggests an expanded rôle for biography in making the linkages between economy, psyche and text which form the basis of Godden’s analysis.

Abstract:

Entre 1932 et 1945 William Faulkner a travaillé comme scénariste à Hollywood, successivement à la MGM, aux studios Universal et 20th Century-Fox, et à la Warner bros. A sa totale liberté d'écrivain succédait un strict encadrement. Cependant la dépendance qui liait ses conceptions à de précis cahiers des charges n'a pas empêché l'écrivain de s'inspirer de ses œuvres. Cinq scenarios sont longuement détaillés et étudiés. Turn about, War birds, Country lawyer apparaissent issus des créations romanesques de Faulkner et appartiennent au cycle du Yoknapatawpha county. The de Gaulle story et Battle cry ont été écrits dans l'esprit de propagande de l'Amérique nouvellement en guerre. Ces scenarios portent néanmoins la pleine marque du sens que Faulkner entendait donner à son acte d'écriture. Scénariste un peu par obligation, l'écrivain a su ne pas se laisser submerger par la dépersonnalisation des talents de règle à Hollywood. En arrière-plan apparaitront la vie de Faulkner, la conception de ses romans l'organisation industrielle du cinéma, les règles de la composition filmique et de l'adaptation
From 1932 to 1945, during the so-called Hollywood "golden age", William Faulkner worked as a screenwriter in four major studios: MGM, Universal, 20th Century-Fox and Warner bros. There, severe restrictions were imposed on his creativity. Whereas many talents were crushed by the requirements and the organization of the movie industry, William Faulkner managed to retain a great freedom of thought and inspiration. In many cases his scripts illuminate, extend and complicate the themes of his fiction. Turn about (1932) for example, is closely related to the sound and the fury. War bird (1932-1933) draws on two short stories and expands sartoris. Country lawyer is a family saga. All three therefore properly belong in the Yoknapatawpha couty cycle. The two other screenplays analyzed in details, the de Gaulle story (1942) and Battle cry (1943), are part of the considerable body of patriotic writing that Faulkner produced in support of the allied effort on World War II. They reveal the writer's rhetoric and philosophy as well as his craft as a screenwriter. This study not only sheds light on Faulkner’s concept of films but also shows his remarkable narrative art

Abstract:

Cette etude vise a mettre en lumiere les traits psychologiques sousjacents du texte faulknerien a l'aide de la psychanalyse. Ceux-ci sont selectionnes pour faire apparaitre l'importance des resurgences de l'enfance et de son cortege de complexes irresolus au coeur meme de l'intrigue, ainsi que ses responsabilites dans la construction de quelques uns des principaux romans de william faulkner. Ainsi sont successivement etudies : the sound and the fury, as i lay dying, light in august, absalom, absalom!, the wild palms, requiem for a nun et the reivers. La these s'ouvre sur une mise au point methodologique tentant d'adapter la methode psychanalytique a l'etude de la litterature, suivie de l'analyse detaillee de chacun des ouvrages cites cidessus, centree sur l'etude des personnages principaux. Puis une approche synthetique est developpee, presentant les resultats de la partie analytique dans l'optique de l'etude du temps dans l'oeuvre de faulkner. Des categories temporelles liees aux structures psycho-genetiques de l'enfance y sont degagees et mises en rapport avec les particularites stylistiques et phenomenologiques de l'ecriture faulknerienne
In this study, the main psychological underlying elements to be found in william faulkner's writings are brought to light and selected so that they could best illustrate the numerous resurgences of childhood - with ist trail of die-hard psychic complexes - into the very core of the stories which are told. It it then shown that childhood is part and parcel of the peculiar structures of some of faulkner's most famous novels, such as the sound and the fury, as i lay dying, light in august, absalom, absalom!, the wild palms, requiem for a nun and the reivers. After a chapter introducing methodological remarks on the difficulty to apply psychoanalysis to literature, it is then dealt with a detailed study of the prominent characters met in the above mentioned works. The last section is dedicated to a more synthe- tic approach of the notion of "time" in faulkner's books, based on the results of the previous analyses, so that various time indications can be classified according to their psychological, but also stylistic and phenomenological features

Abstract:

L'etude "william faulkner et la famille sudiste" propose de faire un examen de la famille faulknerienne au travers de l'oeuvre de son auteur. Elle met l'accent a la fois sur le degre considerable d'identification auto-biographique ainsi que sur une analyse de la conformite que la famille faulknerienne pourrait avoir avec la famille sudiste dans sa realite socio-historique. Les divers types de relations familiales comme les relations conjugales, parents-enfants incestueuses et mixtes sont prises en consideration. Le portrait de la famille noire est aussi examine et contraste au tableau que fait l'auteur de la famille blanche. L'evolution dans l'attitude de faulknerface a la famille sudiste est aussi mise a jour. Finalement, l'authenticite de la famille faulknerienne est determinee en le comparant avec la vision familiale des autres ecrivains sudistes comme robert penn warren, thomas wolfe, katherine ann porter, caroline gordon, james agee, carson mccullers, erskine caldwell, william styron, truman capote et flannery o'connor
The study "william faulkner and the southern family" is an examination of the family throughout faulkner's work. It accents the considerable degree of auto-biographical projection on the author's part. It analyses the faulknerian family in relationship to its socio-historical counterpart in the south. Different forms of family relationships such as the marital, parental-child, incestuous and inter-racial ones are taken into consideration. The portrait of the black family is also examined and contrasted to the one the author gives of the white family. The evolution of faulkner's attitude toward the southern family is also brought to light. Finally, the authenticity of the faulknerian family is established by comparing the author's vision of family to the one of the other southern writers such as robert penn warren, thomas wolfe, katherine ann porter, caroline gordon, james ageen, carson mccullers, erskine caldwell, william styron, truman capote and flannery o'connor

Abstract:

Cette thèse trouve son point d’impulsion dans le monologue de l’idiot Benjy Compson sur lequel s’ouvre The Sound and the Fury, roman de William Faulkner publié en 1929. Narré par un idiot muet et condamné à l’hébétude, ce monologue élabore un discours impossible. C’est dans ce discours, qui se construit sur le primat de la sensation et sur la prééminence des choses sur les idées, que s’échafaude une esthétique de l’idiotie. L’objet de cette thèse consiste à montrer comment le choix de placer un idiot au centre de la perception et à la source première de la narration de The Sound and the Fury peut être considéré comme le geste précurseur et emblématique de l’écriture faulknérienne. À travers des analyses détaillées de textes empruntés à l’ensemble du corpus faulknérien, le présent travail vise à démontrer combien le monologue de l’idiot Benjy Compson – considéré comme idiot archétypal – constitue un vaste champ d’expérimentation où tout objet est remodelé par le travail des sens : ainsi, le filtre de la perception de l’idiot donne-t-il naissance à un monde singulier et inédit. Cette thèse analyse la manière dont les figures corporelles, temporelles, sensorielles et narratives de l’idiotie se réfractent tout au long de l’œuvre de Faulkner, dans le sillage de ce texte inaugural. C’est à travers les formes d’une idiotie initiale et initiatique que l’écriture de Faulkner accède à sa spécificité. À l’origine de l’œuvre, l’idiotie organise d’un seul mouvement l’espace du monde et celui du langage faulknériens
The starting point of this thesis is the monologue of the idiot Benjy Compson, who is the initial narrator in Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury (published in 1929). Told by a narrator who is both deaf and dumb and hopelessly condemned to stupor, this monologue is built upon an impossible discourse. Yet it is upon this paradoxical discourse, which rests on the pre-eminence of sensory perception, that Faulkner sets the foundation of a sophisticated aesthetics of idiocy. Indeed, the author’s choice to place an idiot at the centre of perception can be considered the inaugural and emblematic gesture of his writing. Through a detailed examination of excerpts selected from Faulkner’s novels and short stories, this thesis argues that the monologue of Benjy Compson – regarded as the archetypal idiot – is actually a vast experimental laboratory in which things and words are remodelled by the senses. The present study emphasises how the corporal, temporal, sensorial and narrative figures of idiocy are reflected throughout Faulkner’s work
