(Trans)ações: experiências pedagógico-teatrais com pessoas transgênerosRodovalho, André Luiz Silva 06 July 2016 (has links)
A pesquisa teve como objetivo principal investigar as potencialidades pedagógicas da performance e do teatro para a comunidade transgênero de Uberlândia por meio de uma oficina teatral. Com o propósito de harmonizar a distribuição das fases da dissertação substitui os capítulos por “ciclos”, uma alusão à metamorfose das borboletas e uma metáfora aos sujeitos da pesquisa: pessoas transgêneros. Inicialmente, nos dois primeiros ciclos, faço uma retrospectiva das trajetórias acadêmicas e artísticas que originaram esta pesquisa de mestrado. No terceiro ciclo começo a elucidar os pontos fundamentais sobre a oficina de teatro para transgêneros: as justificativas da escolha do público alvo, a sua metodologia, os resultados cênicos e as ferramentas de registro escolhidas para a pesquisa de campo. No quarto e no quinto ciclos, respectivamente, descrevo como se deu a aproximação com o universo trans e a divulgação da oficina. Do sexto ao nono ciclos há a descrição e reflexão sobre os encontros realizados durante o campo da oficina e os pontos de relevância observados com a prática, problemas, conflitos surgidos e as adaptações metodológicas que foram necessárias diante dos retornos que as alunas trans deram sobre a prática. No décimo ciclo faço uma análise a respeito da visibilidade trans em relação ao teatro a partir das entrevistas realizadas com as participantes e ouvintes, entrecruzando as referências teóricas oriundas dos estudos de gênero, a fim de entender os conflitos dos corpos e das identidades trans com as práticas teatrais desenvolvidas durante a oficina. Finalmente, no décimo ciclo, descrevo e reflito sobre a segunda oficina de teatro para a comunidade trans que foi realizada durante a 11ª Semana Cultural LGBT de Uberlândia. / This research aims to propose a theater and performance workshop for the Uberlândia transgender community. In order to harmonize the distribution of this essay, the chapters were renamed as "cycles", an allusion to the butterflies metamorphosis and a metaphor to the research subjects: transgender people. In the first two cycles, there is a retrospective of academic and artistic trajectories that originated this master's research. The third cycle begins to elucidate the fundamental points about the theater workshop for transsexuals: the reasons of the choice of target audience, its methodology, the scenic results and logging tools chosen for the field research. In the fourth and fifth cycles, respectively, there is a description of how was the approach to the trans universe and the workshop divulgation. From the sixth to the ninth cycles, there is a description and reflection about the meetings during the workshop and the relevant issues that was seen with practice, problems, conflicts encountered and methodological adjustments due to the feedback the trans students gave about the practice. In the tenth cycle there is and analysis about the trans visibility, related to the theater, from the interviews with the participants and listeners, with the theoretical references coming from the gender studies, in order to understand the conflicts of bodies and trans identities with theatrical practices developed, during the workshop. Finally, in the tenth cycle, there´s a describe and reflection about the second workshop of theater for the trans community that was held during the 11ª Semana Cultural LGBT de Uberlândia (11th Cultural LGBT Week in Uberlândia). / Dissertação (Mestrado)

Écrire le cancer : l’entrée en littérature de l’autopathographie : le cas italien / Cancer Narratives : autopathographies in Literature : the Italian CaseRossi, Silvia 21 March 2016 (has links)
L’objectif de cette thèse est d’analyser les écritures de personnes atteintes du cancer. La première partie de notre travail se focalise sur la description des caractéristiques des six ouvrages constituant notre corpus. Nous proposons de les nommer « autopathographies », c’est-à-dire de les définir comme des récits rétrospectifs en prose qu'une personne fait de sa propre maladie, dans lesquels il y a identité entre l’expérience de maladie de l’auteur (tel qu’il figure par son nom sur la couverture), celle du narrateur du récit et celle du malade dont on parle. Le rapport qui s’instaure entre la maladie et l’écriture est à la base de la structure interne de la deuxième et de la troisième partie de notre travail. Dans la deuxième partie, nous analysons le lien entre le cancer et l’écriture : nous démontrons le rôle du corps malade comme objet de l'écriture, mais aussi comme cause et source, dans la mesure où l’attention au corps et à son langage façonne les récits. Le langage choisi pour décrire le cancer est l’objet de l’analyse menée dans la troisième partie. En nous basant sur la segmentation faite dans la deuxième partie, nous identifions les métaphores mobilisées par les patients pour décrire la maladie et le parcours de soins. Notre travail démontre l’existence d’une écriture basée sur l’expérience directe de patients qui enrichit le langage pour « dire » le cancer et la représentation de cette maladie. En annexe se trouvent le fruit de nos entretiens inédits avec Giacomo Cardaci, Cristina Piga et Melania Rizzoli, auteurs de trois des autopathographies analysées. / The aim of our work is to investigate the narrative of people diagnosed with cancer. The first part of our study focusses on the description of the characteristics of the six works composing our corpus. We define them « autopathographies », meaning « retrospective prose narrative written by a real person concerning his or hers own illness experience »; in these narratives the experience of illness of the author (whose name designates a real person), the one of the narrator and of the one of principal character are identical. The relationship between cancer and writing is the basis of the structure of the second and of the third part of our research. The aim of the second part is to elucidate the link between cancer and writing; we prove that the diseased body is the topic, cause and source of the autopathographies, since the attention accorded to the diseased body models the story. In the third part of my PhD we focus on the language used to describe cancer. The analysis done in the second part is a starting point to identify the metaphors used by the patients to describe cancer and their experience of illness. Our work demonstrates the existence of a narrative based on the patients’ illness experiences and this narrative enriches the language used to “tell” cancer and its representation. Appendices: synopsis of the autopathographies and interviews of Giacomo Cardaci, Cristina Piga and Melania Rizzoli.

Percursos para a construção do corpo em trânsito / Pathways for the construction of the body in transitSalvetti Junior, Paulo Roberto January 2010 (has links)
Partindo da discussão sobre a autobiografia nas artes visuais, esta pesquisa se divide em duas partes. Na primeira delas, são tratadas as questões teóricas relativas ao que se entende por Corpo em Trânsito, possível modo de operar da relação entre artista-obra e observador quando o trabalho artístico é dotado de potências autobiográficas, as quais se apresentam na obra através de um corpo. O foco, nesse sentido, é o Corpo em Trânsito. Na segunda parte, são propostas abordagens de trabalhos de artistas brasileiros produzidos entre os anos 1980 e o início do século XXI, tendo em vista a aplicação do Corpo em Trânsito. O foco, então, torna-se pensar com o Corpo em Trânsito. Foram escolhidas, para esta parte, produções de Nazareth Pacheco, Fernanda Magalhães e Leonilson, sendo cada artista tratado em um capítulo. / Based on the discussion of the autobiography in the visual arts, this research is divided into two parts. In the first, are treated the theoretical questions concerning what is meant by the Body in Transit, the modus operandi of the relationship between artist and observer force when the artwork is endowed with powers autobiographical, which are present in the work through a body. The focus in this sense is the body in transit. In the second part, are proposed approaches to the work of Brazilian artists produced between 1980 and the beginning of the century, with a view to implementing the Body in Transit. The focus then becomes thinking with the body in transit. Were chosen for this part, the production of Nazareth Pacheco, Fernanda Magalhães and Leonilson, each artist being treated in a chapter.

"LOSS AND GAIN" DI JOHN HENRY NEWMAN: PARADIGMI E TESTUALIZZAZIONI DEL ROMANZO AUTOBIOGRAFICOCARACENI, FRANCESCA 14 January 2019 (has links)
“O weary Champion of the Cross, lie still”: così Christina Rossetti apre un sonetto del 1890 intitolato Cardinal Newman, composto in occasione della dipartita del cardinale e dedicato alla memoria di uno dei più influenti pensatori, teologi e uomini di lettere dell’epoca. L’accorato canto di Rossetti sottolinea la potenza del pensiero newmaniano assimilando le azioni e gli scritti del cardinale all’impeto delle acque di marea, metaforizzandoli poi in un’alluvione che va a sconvolgere il tranquillo corso di un ruscelletto: “Thy tides were springtides, set against the neap/ Of calmer souls: thy flood rebuked their rill (7-8). La metafora acquatica impiegata da Rossetti sintetizza in modo efficace le qualità trasformatrici proprie della lunga parabola esistenziale di John Henry Newman (1801-1890), la quale lascia profondi solchi nel tessuto ideologico e storico di quello che gli studiosi hanno identificato come “very long nineteenth-century”. Gran parte di questi solchi sono stati tracciati da Newman percorrendo una strada faticosa e mai lineare, che lo studioso oggi può seguire attingendo al voluminoso corpus delle opere e all’altrettanto ricco apparato critico e biografico andato formandosi negli anni a commento dei suoi scritti.
Assieme a John Keble e Hurrel Froude, Newman fondò le basi di quello che passa alla storia come Oxford Movement, un’esperienza intellettuale nata fra i Colleges dell’Università di Oxford che mirava a ricostruire le basi cattoliche della Chiesa Anglicana, in un contesto di generale inquietudine nei confronti dell’istituzione ecclesiastica e dei modi da questa adottati per declinare la professione di fede all’interno del tessuto sociale dell’epoca. Gli uomini del Movement concentrarono i propri sforzi teorici nella stesura e pubblicazione di numerosi Tracts for the Times, nei quali si affrontavano i temi ecclesiologici più disparati, col fine di attivare un dialogo riformatore in seno alla Chiesa d’Inghilterra. La pubblicazione dei Tracts fu di breve durata (1833-1845) ma foriera di importanti conseguenze per la società inglese e per l’esistenza di Newman, coincidendo la sua conversione al cattolicesimo con la cessazione delle pubblicazioni (1845).
La conversione di Newman fece enorme impressione sull’opinione pubblica, specie per il forte sentimento antiromano che circolava nelle fila dell’establishment inglese. Il motto “No Popery” costituiva un refrain udibile in molte delle produzioni culturali dell’epoca e in special modo nei romanzi a tema religioso, fra le cui pagine il cattolico si muove come personaggio intriso di caratteristiche negative proprie del villain: “a spy, a secret agent, suave, supercilious and satanically unscrupulous, laying his cunning plots for the submission of England to ‘Jesuitocracy’”. Falsità, propensione all’inganno, sete di potere, assenza di scrupoli erano tutti connotati che l’immaginazione protestante associava alla Chiesa di Roma: la conversione procurò a Newman accuse dello stesso segno che il futuro cardinale cercò di dissipare nei suoi scritti, impegnandosi ad arrivare a una fetta di pubblico il più vasta possibile mediante due romanzi e la celebre autobiografia spirituale Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1864). Le opere letterarie di Newman conobbero un dilagante successo, intrise com’erano di istanze culturali associate alla vita religiosa e di elementi autobiografici che andavano a soddisfare la curiosità del pubblico per la vicenda personale di uno degli uomini più in vista del regno di Vittoria. La peculiare intersecazione fra la determinante storico-culturale e quella autobiografica nella testualizzazione letteraria newmaniana è l’oggetto di studio qui proposto.
La ricerca prende il via da un iniziale progetto su biografia e romanzo in relazione alla cosiddetta “crisi religiosa” che caratterizza gli anni vittoriani. Nel considerare i vari aspetti della questione assieme al mio tutor Prof. Enrico Reggiani, si è constatato come non fosse opportuno inscrivere la figura di Newman in uno studio tematico e pluritestuale, metodologicamente orientato a una prospettiva storico-culturale: l’influenza del cardinale sulle lettere di derivazione anglofona appare caratterizzata da un’imponente, multilivellare pervasività che echeggia sia nelle pratiche artistiche dell’epoca, ossia nell’opera della già citata Rossetti, nell’estetica della Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, nella poesia di Gerald Manley Hopkins, che in quelle novecentesche, come il sistema testuale joyciano. Se il ruolo determinante del pensiero newmaniano è riconosciuto e analizzato dalla critica nel dettaglio dei suoi aspetti teologico-religiosi, altrettanto non può dirsi dei suoi scritti più specificamente letterari: il lavoro qui presentato sarà da intendersi pertanto come un dispositivo di avvicinamento a questi aspetti dell’opera di Newman. A tal fine si è deciso di concentrare lo studio sulla close-reading di uno dei due romanzi newmaniani, Loss and Gain (1848), la cui testualità sarà investigata mediante un selezionato apparato metodologico afferente in primis al macrotesto dell’autore e in secundis a più recenti formulazioni teoriche di taglio narratologico. / In an 1890 composition dedicated to the memory of John Henry Newman, Christina Rossetti metaphorized his legacy into “springtides, set against the neap/ Of calmer souls: thy flood rebuked their rill”. She so sought to synthesize the transformative qualities of Newman’s existence (1801-1890) in the context of the “very long nineteenth century”, as defined by Margot Finn.
Along with John Keble and Hurrell Froude, Newman founded the Tractarian Movement, an Oxford-based intellectual movement intending to rebuild the Catholic foundation of the Anglican Church, which at the time was facing an ever growing disquiet on behalf of its affiliates, for both ecclesiological and political reasons. In order to ignite a reformative dialogue within the Church of England, the Tractarians published a relevant number of Tracts from 1833 to 1845, when Newman converted to Catholicism.
Newman’s conversion sparked a huge controversy within the public opinion, catholics at the time being subjected to a heavy cultural stigma within the establishment. Falsity, a propension to deceit and thirst for power connoted the catholic character in numerous religious novels in the Victorian period, thus prompting Newman to defend himself from similar allegations in various writings such as the Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1864). Newman’s literary writings were extremely successful, since they put on display a peculiar intersection between religious cultural issues and his own autobiography. Such intersection is the object of my thesis, which will articulate around a close-reading of Newman’s novel Loss and Gain (1848) in order to
highlight the main features of the Cardinal’s literary theory and practice in relation to his overall theological views, and
to project them on a synchronic and diacronic perspective to attest Newman’s legacy on Eighteenth and Nineteenth century literature.

En d'autres mots : l'écriture translingue de soiAusoni, Alain January 2015 (has links)
For several reasons, translingual writers, defined here as authors who write in a language that is not their native one, have gained increased visibility in recent years. This is particularly true in the context of French literature where, more frequently than before, and with a more explicit recognition of their particular status, translingual writers have received important literary prizes and have been welcomed into the French Academy. Central to this recognition is their rich and diverse mobilisation of life writing, a corpus curiously neglected in the study of the phenomenon of literary translingualism. This thesis focuses on the writers Andreï Makine, Hector Bianciotti, Vassilis Alexakis, Nancy Huston, Agota Kristof and Katalin Molnár. It demonstrates that the translingual experience, in its capacity to question one's sense of self and provide novel tools for the exploration of one's personal history and subjectivity (conceived as an experience in language), appears eminently suited to the genre of life writing and that, in the current configuration of the French literary space, life writing is demanded from translingual authors. It proposes an original cartography of contemporary translingual literature in French, suggesting that more than any similarities in the conditions of their literary adoption of French, what creates family resemblance between translingual writers is the types of relation with their adopted language that are constructed in their autobiographical texts.

The experience of nature and the growth of the poet's mind in the autobiographical poem The Prelude, by William WordsworthCoutinho, Márcio José January 2012 (has links)
Em seu poema autobiográfico O Prelúdio William Wordsworth relata o modo como os principais eventos de sua vida levaram ao seu desenvolvimento espiritual a fim de tornar-se um poeta. Na chamada poesia de Natureza isso pressupõe a influência da experiência direta e viva com os objetos e elementos do mundo natural. Meu intento nesta tese consiste em investigar a qual ponto a formação individual representada na narrativa é resultado da experiência vivida – estética, moral e intelectual – do sujeito em relação às formas belas e sublimes do mundo exterior em paralelo com a constituição imaginativa de sua consciência; ou da elaboração retórica e associativa de imagens, analogias, metáforas, símbolos, conceitos e concepções tomados de um conjunto de saberes literários, filosóficos, religiosos, psicológicos e científicos da tradição ocidental em voga na época de Wordsworth. Além disso, busquei examinar de que modo a experiência da Natureza se associa ao papel da educação formal e da observação impactante da estrutura social e política advinda das transformações da modernidade, vindo a formar a visão de mundo do poeta e a crença no papel fundamental da poesia como depositária laico-sagrada da sabedoria essencial da humanidade. Os argumentos que dão sustentação à minha interpretação do poema baseiam-se na análise de uma estrutura narrativa de história individual de nascimento em meio ao mundo natural, de criação de laços de pertencimento a este meio, de afastamento da Natureza e de retorno a ela. A região natal de Wordsworth no Disrito dos Lagos Ingleses, no Norte da Inglaterra, é vista como equivalente primeiro da Natureza. Portanto é represetada analogicamente como um parâmetro físico e sensível que fundamenta aquilo que o herói deverá entender como Natureza: primeiro enquanto mundo visível, e a partir deste corolário em suas dimensões sensoriais e sentimentais, intelectuais e emocionais, morais e espirituais. Destarte, esta pesquisa organiza-se em três partes. Na primeira parte, procurei reconstruir as experiências do herói ao longo dos principais eventos de seu percurso autobiográfico, com vistas a reconstituir o seu sentido para a construção (Bildung) da sensibilidade do sujeito, emocional, intelectual e espiritualmente, de acordo como estas experiências tenham sido vividas ou recordadas. Na segunda, tratei separadamente dos tipos de contato empírico do herói com as formas naturais em momentos de observação, contemplação e meditação, dando ênfase à percepção sensorial, especialmente em suas funções visual e auditiva; aos impulsos sentimentais e emocionais ligados à sensibilidade corporal; e finalmente à intuição transcendente e à visão metafísica que acompanha as relações espirituais sentidas na responsividade anímica e espiritual do sujeito – em comunhão tranquila ou êxtase elevado – com a essência mais profunda manifestada na vida das coisas que o rodeiam. Por fim, na terceira parte, voltei-me para a análise dos recursos empregados para a construção estética e reelaboração retórica dos conteúdos da experiência humana representados na narrativa a partir da associação de conteúdos imaginários, metafóricos, simbólicos, conceituais e alusivos que indicam a apropriação de um conjunto de saberes e conhecimentos tomados de empréstimo a uma tradição intelectual e letrada. Enquanto resultado, sustento a tese de que Wordsworth combina dois elementos fundamentais na construção poética de O Prelúdio. De um lado há a expressão emocional dos efeitos interiores causados pela impressão das formas naturais, com base no que se pode conceber enquanto representação realista, ou seja, fiel às formas empíricas da percepção humana e relativa à atenção do sujeito ao ambiente circundante e à cor local. De outro, constatei a reelaboração de imagens, motivos e topói, bem como noções conceituais e alusões que remetem à afirmação de uma visão de mundo cara ao espírito Romântico, assim como a crítica cortante, apesar de velada, a um conjunto de práticas institucionais, sociais e políticas que ameaçam a integridade de um mundo orgânico que o eu-lírico julga ideal para o aperfeiçoamento do espírito humano em condições de harmonia com o universo onde vive – a Natureza. / In his autobiographical poem The Prelude William Wordsworth relates how the main events of his life led to his spiritual development in order to become a poet. In the so-called Poetry of Nature this presupposes the influence of the direct and living experience of the objects and elements of the natural world. My intent in this dissertation consists of investigating to what extent the individual formation represented in the narrative results from the subject’s lived through experience – aesthetic, moral and intellectual – in relation to the beautiful and sublime forms of the outward world paralleled to the imaginative constitution of his consciousness; or from the rhetorical and associative elaboration of images, analogies, metaphors, symbols, concepts and conceptions taken from a body of literary, philosophical, religious, psychological and scientific knowledges of the western tradition in voge during Wordsworth’s age. Furthermore, I sought to examine how the experience of Nature associates to the role of formal education and striking observation of the social and political structure derived from the transformations of modernity, thus forming the poet’s worldview and belief in the fundamental role of poetry as the laic-sacred depositary of humankind’s essential wisdom. The arguments which sustain my interpretation of the poem are based on the analysis of a narrative structure of individual history of birth amid the natural world, of creation of pertainment bonds to this environment, of distancing from Nature and return to her. Wordsworth’s native region in the Lake District in the North of England is seen as the primary equivalent of Nature. Therefore it is represented analogically as a physical and sensual parameter that founds that which the hero must come to understand as Nature: firstly, as the visible world, and up from this corollary in her sensorial and sentimental, intellectual and emotional, moral and spiritual dimensions. Thus, this research is organized into three parts. In the first, I attempted at reconstructing the hero’s experiences along the main events of his autobiographical course, aiming at reconstituting their meaning for the building (Bildung) of the subject’s sensibility, emotional, intellectual and spiritually, according to the way these experiences have been lived or recollected. In the second part, I dealt separatedly with the hero’s types of empirical contact with the natural forms in moments of observation, contemplation and meditation, emphasyzing the sensorial perception, especially its visual and auditory functions; the sentimental and emotional drives linked to the sensibility of the body; and finally to the transcendent intuition and metaphysical vision wich accompany the spiritual relations felt in the subject’s animical and spiritual responsivity – in quiet communion or lofty transport – with the deepest essence manifested in the life of the things surrounding him. Finally, in the third part, I turned my efforts to analyzing the resources employed for the aesthetical construction and rhetorical re-elaboration of the contents of human experience depicted in the narrative out of the association of imaginary, metaphorical, symbolical, conceptual and allusive contents that indicate the appropriation of a set of wisdom and knowledge drawn from an intellectual and literate tradition. As a result, I sustain the thesis that Wordsworth combines two fundamental elements in the poetic textualization of The Prelude. On one hand, there is the emotional expression of the inner effects aroused by the impression of the natural forms based on what might be conceived as a realistic representation, i.e. faithful to the empirical forms of human perception and regarding the subject’s attention to the surrounding environment and the local colour. On the other hand, I testified the re-elaboration of images, motifs and topoi, as well as conceptual notions and allusions which remount to the assertion of a worldview dear to the Romantic spirit, so as a sharp (although veiled) criticism against a number of institutional, social and political practices that menace the integrity of an organical world that the lyrical speaker considers ideal for the perfectioning of the human spirit in conditions of harmony with the universe where man abides – I mean Nature.

Contesting narratives : constructions of the self and the nation in Zimbabwe polical auto/ BiographyJavangwe, Tasiyana Dzikai 11 1900 (has links)
This study is an interpretive analysis of Zimbabwean political auto/biographical narratives in contexts of changing culture, race, ethnicity and gender identity images of the self and nation. I used eclectic theories of postcolonialism to explore the fractured nature of both the processes of identity construction and narration, and the contradictions inherent in identity categories of nation and self. The problem of using autobiographical memory to recall the momentous events that formed the contradictory identities of self and nation in the creative imagination of the lives of Ian Smith, Maurice Nyagumbo, Abel Muzorewa, Joshua Nkomo, Doris Lessing, Fay Chung, Judith Garfield Todd, Tendai Westerhof and Lutanga Shaba have been highlighted. The study concluded that there are narrative and ideological disjunctures between experiencing life and narrating those experiences to create approximations of coherent identities of individual selves and those of the nation. The study argued that each of the stories analyzed in this study contributed a version of the multiple Zimbabwean narratives that no one story could ever tell without being contested by others. Thus the study explores how white Rhodesian auto/biographies depend on the imperial repertoire to construct varying, even contradicting, images of white identities and the Rhodesian nation, which are also contested by black nationalist life narratives. The narratives by women writers, both white and black, introduced further instabilities to the male authored narratives by moving beyond the conventional understanding of what is ‘political’ in political auto/biographies. The HIV and AIDS narratives by black women thrust into the public sphere personalized versions of self so that the political consequence of their inclusion was not only to image Zimbabwe as a diseased society, but one desperately in need of political solutions to confront the different pathologies inherited from colonialism and which also have continued in the post-independence period. / English Studies / (D.

Crossing boundaries : gender and genre dislocations in selected texts by Samuel R. DelanyHope, Gerhard Ewoud 02 1900 (has links)
This dissertation offers an examination of Delany's critical trajectory from
structuralism to poststructuralism and postmodernism across a gamut of
genres from SF to sword-and-sorcery, pornography, autobiography and
literary criticism. Delany's engagement with semiotics, Foucault and
deconstruction form the theoretical focus, together with his own theories
of how SF functions as a literary genre, and its standing and reception
within the greater realm of literature. The impact of Delany as a gay, black
SF writer is also examined against the backdrop of his varied output. I have
used the term 'dislocation' to describe Delany's tackling of traditional
subjects and genres, and opening them up to further possibilities through
critical engagement. Lastly, Delany is also examined as a postmodern
icon. A frequent participant in his own texts, as well using pseudonyms
that have developed into fully-fledged characters, Delany has become a
critical signifier in his own work. / English Studies / M. A. (English)

Les écritures africaines de soi : 1950-2010 : du postcolonial au postracial ? / The African writings of self : 1950-2010 : from postcolonial to post-racial ?Ndong Ndong, Yannick Martial 10 June 2014 (has links)
On peut identifier une longue pratique autobiographique en Afrique, si l’on remonte aux Confessions de St Augustin, et l’écriture de soi s'est de surcroît développée dans les langues africaines, aux époques précoloniales puis coloniales. C’est toutefois à l’initiative d’anthropologues et d’éducateurs africanistes que les premières autobiographies africaines (souvent rédigées par des instituteurs ou des élèves) ont été collectées, tandis que parallèlement émergeait une écriture autobiographique dans le roman africain francophone. Avec le combat anticolonial, apparaît une forme nouvelle : l’écriture de mémoires par de grands acteurs politiques africains, qui accentue la dimension réflexive des écritures africaines de soi. A l’ère postcoloniale, l’autobiographie tend à devenir de plus en plus intellectuelle, oscillant entre l’essai autobiographique et l’auto-analyse. A partir d’un corpus majoritairement francophone et anglophone, composé d’auteurs aussi divers que Wole Soyinka, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Joseph Emmanuel Nana Appiah, William E. B. Du Bois, Léopold-Sédar Senghor, Lamine Gueye, Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Valentin Yves Mudimbe, Achille Mbembe, Célestin Monga, Barack Obama, Paulin Hountondji ou Rasna Warah, notre thèse retrace les mutations des écritures africaines de soi, de l’ère coloniale à l’époque postcoloniale, en insistant au passage sur les formes de dialogue qui s’établissent entre ceux-ci et les penseurs africanistes français, pour lesquels l’autobiographie fut bien plus qu’un récit de vie. Dans ces perspectives d’histoire et de sociologie littéraire, nous empruntons à Jérôme Meizoz sa notion de posture pour étudier les positionnements esthétiques, politiques et littéraires des écrivains et penseurs africains dans les champs littéraires africains et occidentaux. Nous mettons également en relief diverses modalités de l’auto-réflexivité en confrontant les écritures africaines de soi avec certaines autobiographies intellectuelles de penseurs et écrivains afro-américains. Cette mise en regard permet une réflexion sur les "postures postcoloniales" de nos auteurs, et débouche sur une nouvelle problématique : la visée postraciale ou le dépassement des projets et des interprétations racialistes de l’histoire et de l’identité qui ont caractérisé nombreuses idéologies africaines comme le panafricanisme et la négritude. En nous appuyant pour finir sur l’idée de « postblackness » désormais en vogue aux États-Unis, nous tâchons de montrer que le postracial reste malgré tout davantage un horizon qu’une réalité des écritures africaines de soi, du milieu du XXe siècle au seuil du XXIe siècle. / We can identify a long autobiographical practice in Africa, if we go back to the Confessions of St. Augustine, and selfwriting has moreover developed in African languages, in pre-colonial and colonial times. At the initiative of anthropologists and Africanists, the first African autobiographies (often written by teachers or students) were collected, while autobiographical writing simultaneously emerged in the French African novel. With the anti-colonial struggle, memoirs were written by leading African politicians, which emphasized the reflexive dimension of African selfwritings. In the postcolonial era, autobiography tends to become more intellectual, oscillating between autobiographical and self-analytic projects. Through a predominantly french-and english speaking corpus, consisting of authors as diverse as Wole Soyinka, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Joseph Emmanuel Nana Appiah, William E. B. Du Bois, Léopold-Sédar Senghor, Lamine Gueye, Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Valentin Yves Mudimbe, Achille Mbembe, Célestin Monga, Barack Obama, Paulin Hountondji or Rasna Warah, our dissertation traces back the mutations of African selfwriting, from the colonial times to the post-colonial era, emphasizing the dialogues established between African authors and French Africanist thinkers, for whom autobiography was much more than a life story. In these literary historical and sociological perspectives, we borrow from Jerome Meizoz his notion of “posture” to study the esthetical, political and literary positions, of various writers and thinkers in African and Western literary fields. We also highlight how self-reflexivity occurs by confronting African self writings to some intellectual autobiographies produced by African-American thinkers and writers. This comparison allows a reflection on the "postcolonial posture" of our authors, and leads to a new problem : the post-racial project that runs through the racialist interpretations of history and identity that characterized many African ideologies such as Pan-Africanism and negritude. Ultimately relying on the idea of "postblackness" now in vogue in the United States, we strive to show that the postracial remains nevertheless a horizon more than a reality of African writings itself, the mid-twentieth century to the twenty-first century.

Recherche identitaire et mémoire collective dans l'oeuvre d'Annie Ernaux / Search for identity and collective memory in the work of Annie ErnauxEl sakezli, Oreida 16 December 2013 (has links)
Cette recherche a pour but d’interroger la femme et ses multiples voix dans l’oeuvre d’Annie Ernaux, écrivain célèbre pour avoir nourri ses romans de sa propre vie. Grande figue de l’autobiographie, Annie Ernaux n’a de cesse de mettre en mots, dans un style singulier, son histoire, ses racines, le contexte socioculturel dans lequel elle a grandit, et surtout, d’interroger la figure féminine. Ses oeuvres sont à la fois récits littéraires et documents sociologiques d’une vie ancrée dans son siècle et ses repères, comme pour rappeler le rôle essentiel de la femme dans la famille ainsi que dans la Cité. Elle interroge la maternité, la sexualité, la parentalité, le rapport homme I femme d’une écriture simple, claire, filtrée des émotions et dénué de tout effet qui l’écarterait de sa quête, interrogeant ainsi en filigrane la fonction du roman / Searching for identity and collective memory in the works of Annie ُErnaux. This research aims to study Annie´s work on women and their multiple voices, Annie Ernaux is a famous writer who has enriched her novels through her own life experiences. A big figure in autobiography writing, Annie Ernaux has a unique style of writing. She addressed her history, her roots, and the social cultural context in which she grew up. She especially interrogates the feminine figure. Her works are both literary accounts and sociological documents of a life rooted in another centuries values and standards. She recalls the essential role of women in the family and in the city, questioning motherhood, sexuality, parenting, and the relationship between man and woman. She crafts her work in a simple and clear manner with pure emotion devoid of any effect that would divert from her true goal . Thus implicitly questioning the function of the novel
