This Master Thesis describes the Expérience Grand-Guignol project, consisting on the one hand of research of the texts preserved in the Parisian Theatre Grand-Guignol (1897 – 1963) and on the other hand of a graduation performance in Theatre DISK which staged four plays from the repertory of this famous theatre of horrors. The Expérience Grand-Guignol project explored in practice various approaches to the historical material of Grand-Guignol placed in a contemporary context. It examined limits of the genre and methods of staging favorable to the Grand-Guignol experience today. The thesis is structured in three parts. The first part presents the Grand-Guignol theatre phenomenon, its history and theory compiled from accessible literature. The second part is dedicated to a detailed preparation and realization of the project. It presents four performed shows, including the overall set design and storyline, which provides the frame for the cycle. The last part presents a short reflection on fear as an effect of a theatre performance, a summary of observations from the practical examination, and an evaluation of project.

Cette étude esquisse les narratives concurrentes au sein de l’espace médiatique français par rapport à la perception des guerres balkaniques de 1912-1913 (guerre de civilisations contre guerre d’intérêts économiques, de libération/unification nationale, nouvelle croisade, guerre juste, contre guerre illégitime, guerre de conquête, nouvelle expédition colonialiste, discours pacifistes contre rhétoriques militaristes, approches nationalistes contre solutions fédéralistes). Elle participe également à un essai de schématisation de différents facteurs, paramètres et de leurs interactions (affinités personnelles, sensibilités idéologiques, intérêts économiques, considérations géopolitiques, couverture médiatique, représentations de Soi et de l’Autre, de l’Ici et de l’Ailleurs, du Passé, du Présent et du Futur) façonnant la perception d’un conflit par une société observatrice phénoménalement extérieure à son déroulement. Elle nous informe aussi sur les pratiques journalistiques et les goûts du public médiatique avec l’importance croissante des correspondants de guerre dans la médiatisation de la guerre et l’exigence d’une couverture sensationnelle, directe et omnisciente des événements. Elle explore également la place des Balkaniques, des Balkans et de l’histoire de cet espace dans l’imaginaire français de la Belle Époque et l’invitation des guerres balkaniques dans la vie politique, économique et socioculturelle française, à la veille de la Grande Guerre. Enfin, elle s’interroge sur le rôle des propagandes des belligérants dans la transformation de la presse en un champ de batailles médiatiques et représentationnelles, entre les acteurs directement impliqués dans le conflit et les observateurs extérieurs, s’exprimant dans l’espace médiatique français, avec comme enjeu majeur, la définition d’une entité politique et axiologique européenne. / This study outlines the competitive narratives of the 1912-1913 Balkan wars inside the French media landscape (national liberation/unification wars, new crusade, just war, versus illegitimate conquest war, new colonialist expedition, pacifist settlement versus militarist rhetoric, nationalist approaches versus federalist proposals). It is also a schematization essay of the different factors-parameters and their interactions, (personal affinities, ideological orientations, economical interests, geopolitical considerations, media coverage, representation of the Self and the Other, the Here and Elsewhere, the Past, the Present and the Future) intervening in one’s conflict perception on behalf of a phenomenally external society to its unfolding. It also informs us about journalistic practices and the media’s public tastes stretching the rising importance of war reporters and the demand for a sensational, direct and omniscient news coverage. It also explores the place of Balkan people, Balkans’ history and geography, in the imagination of French Belle Époque, as well as the way Balkan wars had been invited within French political, economical and socio-cultural life at the eve of the Great War. Finally, it questions the role of belligerents’ propagandas in the newspapers’ transformation at a media and representational battlefield between the actors directly concerned by the conflict and the external observers expressing themselves in French media, having as major stake the definition of a political and axiological European entity.

Cette étude aborde la manière dont l’Orient-Express a été décrit, perçu et imaginé, et s’efforce de mesurer l’écart entre les représentations communes et ce qui se dégage d’un corpus de textes très divers à travers trois grands axes de réflexion :les évocations des itinéraires de l’Orient- Express, les discours tenus sur le train et ses voyageurs, les thématisations et récupérations littéraires dont il a fait l’objet.L’idée directrice du propos est de montrer comment l’Orient-Express, rêve programmé par de très efficaces campagnes publicitaires et suscité par un imaginaire géographique, historique et littéraire puissant, n’a pu pleinement convaincre les voyageurs, mais aussi les écrivains et les lecteurs qui, semble-t-il, ne cessent de déplorer la disparition d’un train et d’un voyage qui n’ont peut-être jamais existé ou qui ne sont jamais vraiment ceux qu’ils imaginaient. / Doctorat en Langues, lettres et traductologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

En France, le XIXe siècle est témoin d’un renouveau de la littérature orale. Alors que les dialectologues accomplissent un important travail de documentation et de préservation des sources orales au XIXe siècle, les littéraires mettent en scène les patois. Les contes populaires de Gaston Demongé, auteur normand (Aux gars de Normandie, 1917 ; Les Terreux, 1925 et 1955) ont marqué l’imaginaire de son époque. Auteur engagé dans le débat sociopolitique sous la Troisième République, Gaston Demongé opte par son choix de retranscription du patois de rester fidèle à ses convictions profondément régionalistes. L’œuvre de l’auteur normand offre une disparité dans sa façon d’aborder le patois cauchois et le discours social qu’il transmet sur le paysan entre le début du XXe siècle et la période de l’après guerre. De fait, il manifeste dans son écriture, dès 1925, son désaccord avec le discours imposé sur le paysan et son langage.

In this investigation I will go to the bottom of the idea of progressivism by using one of the symbols of its consequences: The Titanic disaster. The purpose is to analyze the claims of Walter Lord, comparing his story with the historical development of the 1900’s and Thomas S. Kuhns theory of paradigm shifts. According to Lord the Titanic disaster changed humans’ view on the world and their place in it, leading to a paradigm shift. By using the method of hermeneutics and critical discourse analysis I will show that Lords claims, depending on the perspective, are somewhat exaggerated. Instead Titanic would become a powerful symbol for the critics of the current paradigm, which is that of progressivism. Even if the Titanic disaster led to some changes, the idea of progressivism has been able to modify and adapt itself, reproducing the current societal paradigm of progressivism.

The study contrasts the architecture of the Art Nouveau period  1880-1915 with contemporary curvilinear computational designs created 1980-2015. This is done by examining similarities and differences in design context, methods, philosophy and forms. The study includes an analysis of the curved lines used in Art Nouveau architecture as well as comparative study of  the two periods’ building compositions, façades and ornamentation. The thesis tries to answer the following questions: Is it possible to identify significant forms or geometric markers in  the Art Nouveau architecture of the period 1890 to 1920? How do such markers differ from post 1980 computational curvilinear architecture? Is it possible to reinterpret Art Nouveau architecture today in a relevant way? / Denna studien kontrasterar Art Nouveau/ Jugendstil perioden 1880-1920 med dagens datorstödda design diskurs med fokus på den böjda linjen. Studien undersöker skillnader och likheter i kontext, metod, filosofi och form mellan de båda perioderna. Studien inkluderar en analys av den kurvatur som används inom Art Nouveau / Jugendstil och undersöker vidare byggnadskomposition,  fasader och ornament i de båda tidsperioderna. Studien försöker besvara följande frågor: Fins det några signifikanta former eller geometrier i  Art Nouveau / Jugendstil arkitekturen och hur skiljer dessa sig från dagens datorstödda arkitektur, Går det att på ett relevant sätt använda delar av  Art Nouveau / Jugendstil arkitekturen och dess diskurrs på ett idag relevant sätt.

Ce mémoire propose d’explorer quel(s) statut(s) sont accordés aux compositeurs contemporains dans le contexte musical parisien des premières années du XXe siècle à travers une analyse de la presse musicale spécialisée de l’époque. Le corpus de notre recherche est constitué de trois revues, chacune ancrée dans des sphères de sociabilités bien distinctes : La Revue musicale (histoire et critique), une « revue savante » proche du milieu de la Schola cantorum ; Le Mercure musical, une « petite revue » d’avant-garde militant en faveur de la musique de Maurice Ravel ; et Musica, une « grande revue » destinée à un lectorat issu de la petite bourgeoisie en plein essor, essentiellement féminin et pratiquant la musique en amateur. Cette étude révèle que la traditionnelle opposition entre la conception du compositeur-artisan et celle du compositeur-génie issue de la fin du XVIIIe siècle et du XIXe siècle voit apparaître un troisième joueur à l’aube du XXe siècle : le compositeur-vedette, un statut qui était jusqu’alors généralement réservé aux interprètes. Ces trois statuts coexistent dans le panorama de la presse musicale du tournant du XXe siècle, et leur promotion par certains organes de presse spécifiques répond à une logique tantôt esthétique, tantôt économique. Il se dégage de cette étude que la presse musicale constitue non seulement un indice des variations qu’a subies la figure du compositeur dans le spectre de la grandeur en culture, mais qu’elle a également joué un rôle actif dans ces transformations. / This master thesis proposes a look of various statuses given to contemporary composers in the Parisian musical context at the beginning of the 20th century, through an analysis of the specialised press of that period. The corpus of my research consists in three different journals, each one with its own distinct sphere of sociability: La revue musicale (histoire et critique), a scholarly publication close to the Schola cantorum; Le Mercure musical, an avant-garde publication which has championed Maurice Ravel’s music; and a third, Musica, a magazine with a much larger audience, intended for the growing middle class, and which readership is mostly constituted of women and music learners. This thesis reveals that the traditional opposition between the concepts of craftman-composer and of genius-composer — a concept deriving from the end of the 18th century and the 19th century — sees the rise of a third component at the beginning of the 20th century: the star-composer, a status which was until then only limited to performers. Those three statuses coexisted throughout the musical press during the early 20th century. Their promotion by specific publications was in some cases done for aesthetic reasons and in others for economical motives. The outcome of this study reveals that the musical press is not only an indicator of the changes in the composers’ status within the array of cultural greatness, but it has also played an active role in these transformations.

It begins in France by the end of the 19th century, informed by the ideals of the French Revolution. Change, progress and freedom were the central themes on a search after civility, in a modernity-discourse. Alterations in values and usages of the European bourgeoisie were quickly assimilated in Brazil, most if all in Rio de Janeiro. The southern town of Pelotas had straight ties to the imperial court in Rio for political and economical seasons and to Europe because of the frequent travels by the high class to the old continent. For this reason it ended up absorbing such values. Due to this circumstance a reformulation of the urban space took place modifying the way of life of a part of the population. This process can be traced in the print media of those times. It is for this reason and because of a considerable socio-cultural effervescence that this work aims to analyze the Pelotas way of life and its visibility through the local press. These were ideas of progress and civilization disclosed through the press and based on the Belle Époque. The object of the analysis is the magazine Illustração Pelotense , published between 1919 and 1925. This choice was made because of the range of coverage of the magazine which shows how much the readers were interested in it. Though the focus lies on Illustração Pelotense , an exploratory study was carried out on the local print media from the middle of the 19th century aiming to understand the transformation process of the town, which included the press. A world-view enounced through signs of an other one , in a euphoric period, in a discourse of modernity, in changes of societies` way of life. The press was the instrument that enlightened the town. As theoretical and methodological basis we used the theory of discursive semiotics, from the regimes of visibility of Eric Landowski (1992, 2002) and Ana Claudia de Oliveira (1997). The Belle Époque of Pelotas shows a quick assimilation of new elements in a town with roots in the countryside. In that period Pelotas transformed itself, adapting to the European style that was absorbed in Brazil. The town changed, the press changed. Ultimately, it changed in its own ways, in its way of life, in its identity, in the recreation of the European style, in a specific way brazilianed / A Belle Époque foi um período de mudanças políticas, econômicas e sócio-culturais. Teve origem na França, no final do século XIX, iluminada pelos ideais da Revolução Francesa e pela Revolução Industrial. Transformações, progresso e liberdade formam o tema central de um percurso em busca da civilidade, num discurso de modernidade. Mudanças nos valores e costumes da população burguesa européia foram logo assimiladas no Brasil, principalmente no Rio de Janeiro. Pelotas, que mantinha estreitos vínculos com a Corte Imperial por razões políticas e econômicas, e com a Europa em função das freqüentes viagens que a riqueza proporcionava a uma determinada classe, também assimilou estes valores. Em decorrência, teve início a reformulação do espaço urbano da cidade, modificando o modo de vida de uma parcela da população, o que se pode observar pela mídia impressa na época. Em razão disso e, por conseqüência, de uma considerável efervescência sócio-cultural, é que se propõe, neste trabalho, analisar o modo de vida da sociedade pelotense e sua visibilidade através da mídia impressa local. Idéias de progresso e civilização divulgadas pela imprensa e ancoradas em sua Belle Époque. Como objeto de análise, optou-se pela revista Illustração Pelotense , que se manteve em atividade entre os anos de 1919 e 1925. Justifica-se a escolha pela expressiva circulação de suas edições, o que demonstra o interesse de seus leitores. Embora o foco da análise seja a Illustração Pelotense , também se fez um estudo exploratório da mídia impressa em Pelotas a partir da metade do século XIX, com o objetivo de entender o processo de transformação da cidade, que atingiu, também, a imprensa. Uma visão de mundo que se enunciava com marcas de um outro , em um período eufórico, num discurso de modernidade, de mudanças no modo de vida da sociedade. A mídia impressa foi o instrumento que iluminou a cidade. Como base teórica e metodológica, utilizou-se a teoria da semiótica discursiva, a partir dos regimes de visibilidade apresentados por Eric Landowski (1992, 2002) e Ana Claudia de Oliveira (1997). A Belle Époque pelotense assinala uma rápida incorporação de elementos novos a uma cidade com raízes na atividade rural. Neste período, Pelotas se transformou, moldando-se ao estilo europeu que era absorvido no Brasil. Mudou a cidade, mudou a mídia impressa. Enfim, no seu modo de ser, no seu modo de vida, na sua identidade, a recriação do estilo europeu, de certa forma, abrasileirado

Dans une dimension plus spécifique, il se cherche appréhender la manière comme l'auteur et acteur social Alphonse Henriques Lime Barreto a représenté de divers aspects de la vie urbaine, dans leurs chroniques, dans la période qui va du commencement du siècle XX, jusqu'à sien seconde décennie; période qui s'est stipulé appeler de Belle Epoque. La notion de Belle Époque régne clans cette étude est un période marquée par certaine adhésion, à niveau occidental, de normes et de comportements importés de la France, considérée à grande référence culturelle tant que civilisation du temps étudié, se cherche ici l'élaboration d'un abordage qui démontre une autre face de ce Belle Epoque qui a été recepcionada dans la ville de Rio de Janeiro. Entrent dans orientation des discussions sur le caractère justificatif, pour la plupart de la population, du processus de modernisation nationale; les frontières existantes entre création littéraire et narrative historiográfica et sur aux implications plus cognitives des choix narratifs. Donc, ce qui s'est convoité dans ce travail a été construire à une vision historiográfica compromise avec l'élaboration de ponts entre art et vie, mais en donnant priorité il l'analyse d'une modalité d'homologation quoi prisées représentera un Belle Époque difforme, turbulente, ségrégation, infructueuses, élitiste et agonisante. Aborder le quotidien dans les faubourgs à le Belle Époque originaire de Rio de Janeiro, en ayant comme guide la Lime Barreto cronista est une tentative d'écouter la voix ils dont ont envisagé comme barbarie le projet civilisatrice du début du siècle XX. / A presente dissertação visa discutir, num âmbito mais geral, as relações entre história e literatura a partir dos usos da crônica jornalística como fonte para uma historiografia pautada em elaborar eixos entre cultura e sociedade. Em uma dimensão mais específica, busca-se apreender o modo como o escritor e ator social Afonso Henriques Lima Barreto representou diversos aspectos da vida urbana, em suas crônicas, no período que vai do começo do século XX, até seu segundo decênio; período este que se convencionou chamar de Belle Époque. Ao partir das noções de Belle Époque enquanto período marcado por certa adesão, a nível ocidental, de normas e comportamentos importados da França, considerada a grande referência cultural enquanto civilização da época estudada, busca-se aqui a elaboração de uma abordagem que demonstre uma outra face dessa Belle Epoque que foi recepcionada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Entram em pauta discussões sobre o caráter excludente, para a maior parte da população, do processo de modernização nacional; as fronteiras existentes entre criação literária e narrativa historiográfica e sobre as implicações cognitivas das escolhas narrativas. Portanto, o que se almejou neste trabalho foi construir uma visão historiográfica comprometida com a elaboração de pontes entre arte e vida, mas dando prioridade a analise de uma modalidade de testemunho que prezou por representar uma Belle Epoque disforme, turbulenta, segregadora, mal-sucedida, elitista e agonizante. Abordar o cotidiano nos subúrbios na Belle Époque carioca, tendo como guia o Lima Barreto cronista é uma tentativa de escutar a voz daqueles que encararam como barbárie o projeto civilizador do inicio do século XX.
