The nature of aesthetic perception in literature : the interaction between text and reader in the process of perceiving literary texts

Wilke, Magdalena Friedericke 11 1900 (has links)
In this dissertation it is argued that literary theories have traditionally extended abundant attention on authors and texts, neglecting, with very few exceptions, the impor- tant role of the READER. To address this imbalance, par- ticular attention will be paid to the view of Wolfgang Iser, that a literary text can only elicit a response when it is read, and that it is virtually impossible to describe this response without also analysing the READING PROCESS. I share this view as it makes logical sense: a literary text remains meaningless, a mere 'paper and ink' production without the involvement of the reader. It is also the reader's own com- petence, his sense of aesthetic perception which enables him to make sense of the, in the literary text embedded message, hence the title: "The Nature of Aesthetic Perception in Literature. The Interaction between Text and Reader in the Process of Perceiving Literary Texts." / Afrikaans & Theory of Literature / M.A. (Theory of Literature)

Le torrent et la foudre : Cicéron et Démosthène : la question du sublime à la Renaissance et à l'Age classique / The torrent and lightning : Cicero and Demosthenes : the question of the sublime to the Renaissance and the Classical Age

Di Santo Arfouilloux, Simonetta 08 March 2014 (has links)
Le but de cette thèse est de contrer deux idées reçues sur la réception de Longin à la Renaissance et à l’Âge classique, à savoir que : 1.le traité de Longin ne concernerait pas un style, mais un ‘je ne sais quoi’ qui dépasse toute catégorisation ; 2. le traité de Longin ne serait connu que de manière confidentielle. Notre thèse prouve le contraire. Interrogeant la tradition stylistique et remontant à la genèse des genera dicendi, nous montrons que Longin est profondément enraciné dans la tradition de la tripertita uarietas. Le ὕψος est un genus dicendi à part entière. Cependant le Περὶ ὕψους est aussi un texte de la crise qui témoigne d’une volonté de dépasser la tradition cicéronienne. Il s’agit d’une tentative non aboutie, dont il reste des traces dans la comparaison de Cicéron et Démosthène : le torrent et la foudre. Dans ce parcours nous mettons en évidence les liens qui unissent le ὕψος au δεινός de Demétrios. L’inventaire des manuscrits, des traductions, des éditions en circulation à la Renaissance démontre à lui seul que la fortune de Longin est loin d’être relative et qu’elle imprègne la vie culturelle de la République des Lettres jusqu’au XVIIe siècle. Cette lecture ne se fait pas au détriment du sens originaire du traité : pour ces re-lecteurs le Περὶ ὕψους est un genus dicendi. Ainsi, Leone Allacci parvient à saisir les problématiques complexes qui rattachent le ὕψος à la δεινότης dans son De erroribus magnorum uirorum in dicendo (1635). Le sublime longinien est également un genus dicend dans les Eloquentiae sacrae et humanae parallela (1619) que le jésuite Nicolas Caussin rédige dans une perspective rédemptoriste, réduisant le sublime à la copia. / This thesis aims to contradict two misconceptions about Longinus’ reception in the Renaissance and classical age, namely: 1. the treaty of Longinus does not concern a style, but a 'whatever' which transcends all categorization; 2. the treaty of Longinus is known only by a confidential manner. Our thesis proves otherwise. Querying the stylistic tradition and returning to the genesis of the genera dicendi, we show that Longinus is deeply rooted in the tradition of tripertita uarietas. The ὕψος is a genus dicendi full.However Περὶ ὕψους is also a text of the crisis which shows a willingness to go beyond the ciceronian tradition. This is a failed attempt, which traces remain in the comparison of Cicero and Demosthenes: torrent and lightning, δεινότης and copia. In this course we highlight the links between the ὕψος to the δεινός of Demetrios. The inventory of manuscripts, translations, editions issued at the Renaissance alone shows that the fortune of Longinus is far from average and that it permeates the cultural life of the Republic of Letters until the seventeenth century. This reading is not done at the expense of the original meaning of the treaty: for these re-readers Περὶ ὕψους is primarily a genus dicendi.Thus, Allacci Leone manages to capture the complex issues that relate δεινότης to the ὕψος in his De erroribus magnorum uirorum in dicendo (1635). The longinian sublime is also a genus dicendi in the Eloquentiae sacrae et humanae parallela (1619) that the Jesuit Nicolas Caussin wrtites in a purely redemptorist perspective, choosing to reduce the sublime to the copia.

Le cut-up. Ses antécédents, ses développements, en Europe et aux Etats-Unis au XXe siècle. Lectures à partir William S. Burroughs / The cut-up technique. Its antecedents and developments, in Europe and in the United States during the 20th century. Readings through the lens of William S. Burroughs

Hougue, Clémentine 27 September 2012 (has links)
Créée en 1959 par William S. Burroughs et Brion Gysin, la technique du cut-up repose sur le découpage et le réagencement de fragments de textes d’origines diverses. Burroughs l’applique notamment dans la « trilogie Nova », composée de The Soft Machine (1961), The Ticket That Exploded (1962) et Nova Express (1964). Ce procédé de collage littéraire, qui donne à lire un texte extrêmement fragmenté, met en jeu des questions d’ordre esthétique, poétique et politique, révélatrices des évolutions socioculturelles occidentales. Ce travail consiste en une lecture historique du cut-up, qui permet d’éclairer les mutations du collage littéraire au XXe siècle. Ainsi, le cut-up trouve ses origines dans les collages de Tristan Tzara, T.S. Eliot et John Dos Passos, mais s’en distingue à bien des titres, soulignant les caractéristiques du collage littéraire moderniste. Par ailleurs, cette technique d’écriture s’apparente, notamment sur le plan de la réflexion politique, aux travaux de ses contemporains lettristes et situationnistes dans les années cinquante et soixante. Enfin, l’émergence de prolongements du cut-up dans les années soixante-dix et quatre-vingt, aussi bien en Europe qu’aux Etats-Unis, s’observe dans des champs allant de la musique populaire à la littérature, en passant par la poésie sonore. Le cut-up s’inscrit donc dans des espaces intermédiaires, entre le pictural et le littéraire, le modernisme et le postmodernisme, l’avant-garde et la contre-culture, l’Europe et les Etats-Unis. Par les questions qu’il pose, le cut-up apparaît également comme une réflexion sur le langage et plus généralement, comme une nouvelle image de la pensée : en ce sens, il révèle ses affinités conceptuelles avec les philosophies de Jacques Derrida et de Gilles Deleuze. / Pioneered in 1959 by William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin, the cut-up technique consists in cutting and rearranging text segments from various sources. Burroughs uses this technique most notably in The Nova Trilogy composed of The Soft Machine (1961), The Ticket That Exploded (1962) and Nova Express (1964). This literary collage process, which results in an extremely fragmented text, challenges issues of an aesthetic, poetic and political nature, and reflects the Western socio-cultural evolutions.This dissertation consists in a historical analysis of the cut-up technique, highlighting how collage methodologies used in literature have evolved during the 20th century. The cut-up method is inspired by the collage techniques used by Tristan Tzara, T.S. Eliot and John Dos Passos, but differs from them in many ways, showcasing the attributes of modernist literary collage methods. At the same time, this writing technique is related to the works by the contemporary Lettrist and Situationist movements from the fifties and the sixties, especially from a political point of view. Finally, the emergence of an extension of cut-up techniques during the seventies and the eighties, both in Europe and in the United States, can be observed in various fields, from popular music to literature, including sound poetry. Therefore, this writing technique takes its place in intermediary areas, between the pictorial and literary worlds, modernism and postmodernism, avant-garde and counterculture, Europe and the United States. Through the questions it raises, the cut-up technique also appears as a reflection on language and, more generally, as a new image of thought, and thus it reveals some of its conceptual affinities with Jacques Derrida’s and Gilles Deleuze’s philosophies.

Paysages silencieux dans le roman réaliste (1850-1900) / Silent landscapes in realistic writting (1850-1900)

Thiltges, Sebastian 15 November 2013 (has links)
A la recherche du paysage silencieux ou du silence du paysage, cette thèse explore un large corpus ouvert de romans réalistes publiés en France, en Angleterre et dans les pays germanophones durant les années 1850-1900. Le parcours de lecture comparatiste représente un voyage littéraire en quête d'un type de paysage particulier, non pas paysage à connotation géographique, mais paysage perçu comme un espace imaginaire et sensible. Face au topos romantique que constitue le paysage silencieux, le silence «réaliste» apparait souvent comme une tentative de musellement des voix romantiques tout en démontrant que le réalisme réinvente les rapports entre l'être humain et le monde naturel, entre le sujet et l'objet de la perception. Contrecarrant l'hégémonie du visuel et du verbal, unissant des données objectives et humanistes, instaurant une relation entre le paysage et le lecteur, le silence dans le roman permet de découvrir des espaces inexplorés et garantit l'expérience d'une lecture nouvelle, à l'écoute des mondes naturel et textuel. / In search of silent landscapes or of the silence of the landscape, this thesis explores a wide open corpus of realistic novels published in France, in England and in the German-speaking countries between 1850-1900. This comparative reading represents a literary journey looking for a particular type of landscape, not with geographical connotation, but perceived as an imaginary and sensitive space. Against the romantic commonplace of silent landscape, "realistic" silence often appears as an attempt Io muzzle the romantic voices, while demonstrating that realism reinvents the relationship between the human being and the natural world, between the subject and the object of perception. Abrogating the hegemony of the visual and the verbal, uniting objective and humanist observation, establishing a relation between the landscape and the reader, silence allows Io discover unexplored spaces and guarantees the experience of a new reading, as the attempt to listen to the natural and textual worlds.
