Casanova en mouvement : des attraits de la raison aux plaisirs de la croyance / A wayering Casanova : from the appeal of reason to the pleasures of belief

Rothé, Sophie 08 October 2014 (has links)
Le mythe de Casanova a longtemps réduit l’individu à un charmeur écervelé. Il a aussi masqué son statut d’écrivain. Afin de poursuivre l’œuvre de dévoilement de ses écrits, cette thèse étudie l’un des paradoxes qui les jalonnent. Imprégné de philosophie éclairée, le chevalier de Seingalt expose son mépris pour les croyances superstitieuses. Toutefois, témoin de la persistance de l’irrationnel au siècle des Lumières, il devient charlatan et met ses talents théâtraux au service de la duperie, développant ainsi une « esthétique de la superstition ». Pourtant, au cours de son existence, en particulier lors de l’expérience des Plombs, l’imposteur devient victime de ses craintes irrationnelles. Incapable de fixer ses convictions, ses postures philosophiques demeurent contradictoires, et marquent son écriture elle-même. Passant des attraits de la raison aux plaisirs de la croyance, l’aventurier s’abandonne donc plaisamment au mouvement, non seulement en matière féminine mais aussi en littérature et philosophie / For a long time, the myth of Casanova has reduced him to a brainless womanizer and has overshadowed his literary work. In order to furtherunveil his writings, this thesis studies one of the paradoxes that are regularly found in them. Steeped with enlightened philosophy, the chevalier de Seingalt shows his despise for superstitious beliefs. However, as he is confronted to irrationality during the Age of Enlightment, he becomes a charlatan and uses his theatrical skills to dupe other people, which makes him develop an « aesthetic of superstition ». Still, at some point of his life – in particular during the Leads episode – the imposter falls victim to his own irrational fears. Unable to decide on his convictions, his philosophical thoughts remain contradictory andaffect his writings. As he switches from the appeal of reason to the pleasures of belief, the adventurer indulges himself in wavering, not only in terms of women, but also in literature and philosophy
